I have a problem with the SetFile DA, V?. The following is the scenario: -I converted an old-DA-mover version of SetFile (Fred, Sam & Dave Software), loaded from the net some months ago, and converted it to the new DA file format using Donald Brown's DA Converter V1.0 (which has coverted other DAs successfully). -SetFile was installed using Font/DA Mover V2.3. -The DA can then be invoked but on attempting to open a selected file a severe system crash (ID = 10) occurs requiring a power off recovery. -Strangely, when SetFile is installed temporarily using Thomas Newton's DA Sampler program, it works very well, but is removed on quiting the Sampler. This is the way I'm currently forced to use this DA. Does anyone out there know what the problem is, and how it can be repaired? It seems that there can't be anything too seriously wrong with the DA if Sampler will run it without incident. Wolfram Lunscher Develcon Electronics

I had a similar problem - it appeared to be an interaction between SetFile and FadeToBlack, as the problem only occurred with both DAs installed. It happened even when the only DAs were these two and the Control Panel. Perhaps the author of FadeToBlack could look into this? -- Bill Roman {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!sigma!roman Summation, Inc. 18702 142nd Ave NE Woodinville, WA 98072 (206) 486-0991
