The problem was with my software... After fixing it, I have had absolutely no trouble having one process open the Screen, and other processes use the screen to put their intuition windows in. I'm creating these processes via CreatProc(), faking a seg list (with one block and the code being a jump to a subroutine)... I haven't had any problem with that either. In fact, I didn't even have to re-open any libraries (the condition of the program being that all sub processes will go away before the parent). 1.2 Beta I impressions: The Disk caching is great! I just set za number of buffers to 32 and Alink no longer seeks all over the place in pass 1. The icons come up noticebly faster. Long-term writes (e.g. copy a 200K program) are not any faster, but that's ok. The ^G screen-blink bug is still there... I hope when you said it was fixed you meant in the Beta II... Being a Beta I, it seems to crash a bit more often then 1.1, but that's to be expected (also I've only had it a short while and have been doing some major programming, so I could be completely wrong). I'm still waiting for our (beloved?) Lattice to give us some major improvements. -Matt
