[net.micro.mac] SkipFinder and MMC programs

tdn@spice.cs.cmu.edu (Thomas Newton) (11/07/85)

Recently I tried to use SkipFinder 5.1 with Megaroids.  Upon quitting from
SkipFinder, the Mac crashed with a "System Error  ID=03".  I thought this
rather odd, since versions 5.0 and up supposedly can deal with Megamax C
programs, so I tried using SkipFinder with a small C program.  It crashed.
I then tried grabbing SkipFinder 5.0 and installing it on a system freshly
copied from my MacWrite/MacPaint master; again it crashed when I tried to
use it with either Megaroids or the other Megamax C program.

Am I doing something wrong, or is SkipFinder broken?  The configuration that
I am running is:  128K Mac with external disk drive, Finder & System from the
most recent MacWrite/MacPaint update, and version 5.1 of SkipFinder.  I have
been using SkipFinder on a regular basis with BinHex, Packit, Red Ryder 5.0,
MacKermit 0.8(33), MacTerminal 1.1, MacWrite, MacPaint, etc., so I know that
my copy can't be COMPLETELY broken.
