I need some help reproducing a bug in AppleWorks.
I called it in to Claris and got a song and dance about my PRODOS clock
driver screwing things up (Which later testing proved to be nonsense).
Before I spend the money to call back again, I'd like to see which
other systems will reproduce the bug.
How to make the bug:
Boot up AppleWorks, and start a fresh data base, and a fresh word
processor file.
Enter the DB:
Make up a record with two fields. (Call them "1" and "2" for the
sake of a name)
Make up 3 records in the following format.
1) 60 characters first field, 14 characters in the second.
2) 61 " " " , 14 " " " "
3) 61 " " " , 13 " " " "
(1 and 3 are controlls)
Copy all three records into the clipboard.
Copy them from the clipboard into the word processor file.
On my system, the second field of the second record won't copy to the
word processor file. (You can change the ordering of the records and
it won't make a difference.)
Let me know (by mail) what happens either way, and please let me know
what type of computer it was tried on. (Mine is a enhanced //e, with
256K, it also screws up on a //c with 1meg)
I await noledge, (sp? :-)
