Hello,
Today I had my unpacking day, so I also got the new DISCSCAN 1.2.
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. ( Another reason: we get charged DM 1,10
per KB, so we may be ruined by receiving mail )
