I've had no problems running Continuum with AppleShare being present and we're connected to several fileservers all at once, so I don't think it's AppleShare that is the problem here. And we've also got a few extra INITs like Moire running and it doesn't interfere with the game at all. Nor has it managed to crash our hard-disk at all. I have noticed that the cursor (the pointer) will tend to dissapear on a Mac II when it is placed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. You can still use the pointer, you just don't know where it is. The easiest thing to do is put it all the way up the left-hand corner (I realize this hard to do when you can't see the cursor, but it's just a matter of moving the mouse til you think it's where it should be) and then press the mouse button and keep down while going across the menu-bar. The Menus pull-down fine indicating that the cursor is there in memory but not on the screen. Quitting from the game restores the cursor and you're fine. It would be nice to have a command-key that allows you to quit from the game when this happens instead of trying to select quit from the file menu with a cursor that has dissapeared (did everyone get that? :-) Other than that, I've had no problems with Continuum running under system 5.0 (I refuse to let 6.0 on our machines until Apple distributes the fixed version of it - 6.0.1). +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | David Vangerov | | Just your average Theater Arts major with a weird thing for computers | | fiatlux@ucscc.BITNET || fiatlux@ucscc.ucsc.EDU || ...!ucbvax!ucscc!fiatlux | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
