Well, I hadn't seen this one before, so I downloaded it from a local BBS.
(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....
