(It was called ROBB.ARC). When I ran the program, however, I got what looked like about 8 screens flashing back and forth madly. The music worked just fine. The ARC tested out just fine, and I even got it from a spearate source, but the strange behaviour remains. The effect reminded me of a TV when you turn the horizontal hold knob way too far :-). Anyone guess what's wrong?? This is a 1040 ST, and I had NO accessories, ram disks, etc. active at the time. Maybe the same bad copy was uploaded to several boards.... -- Paul Close paul@cacilj.CTS.COM ...!{uunet, crash}!cacilj!paul Shaw's Principle: Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.
