I'm unaware of any crashing bugs, but really complicated regions can crash the Mac. Six or seven holes shouldn't be enough to do that, though. There is one major mis-feature in the published version. It calls GetNextEvent. Well, before MultiFinder this wasn't a problem. Now, MF will switch to another layer from within Blast. Kind of confusing, to say the least. Also, Blast can be invoked from within Blast since FKEYs are invoked by the system from within code called by GetNextEvent. Also confusing, and potentially disastrous. > Looking at the object code, > I see that this is not exactly the same program that is printed in MacTutor. Could be. The one in MacTutor always makes the same shaped hole. Chris Derossi made me a routine that makes random jaggy holes, and that version probably got out. Anyone with access to the source (should I post?) can do whatever they want, it's pretty simple. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Greg Marriott + AppleLink: Greg + + Just Some Guy + + + "My phone is always busy" + Internet: Greg@AppleLink.Apple.Com + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Apple Computer, Inc. + + 20525 Mariani Ave, MS-46z, Cupertino, CA 95014 + + (408)974-busy + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
