It unpacked, unarced without problems. Then I tried it and 1. try: wrote into screen memory appr. half a text line high some strange bits, brougth two bombs and returned to the desktop. 2. try: came up, I played a little with the menues and then wanted to quit. with Q I got several questions about saving some database or the like, I answered all with 'no' ( since I had nothing to save ) and then I got seven or eight bombs, and the machine hang up. It seems, this software is not very stable or reliable. I'll wait for comments on the net before I do another try. My equipment: 1040st, sm124-Monitor, sh204. Software: I started DISKSCAN from the Intersect-RAMdisk ( old, but reliable and convenient ) drive M:, on my Harddisk I use GEMSOFT to get enough memory for the folders. This may just be a warning to everybody to be carefull. Please do not send me mail personally, send all comments to the net so everybody gets the information.
