In System Software 5.0, system toolset 30 is the Resource Manager. When you try to load toolset 30, you still have the Resource Manager, which you can't get rid of (which is good, because you want it). Third-party applications should *not* being stealing system toolset numbers (30, 31, 50, 51, 52, etc).

My guess is that I'm out of luck unless the vendor decides to update the software. Speaking of which, does anyone have an updated address and or phone number for First Byte the developers of Speller Bee and Math Talk? I wrote to them back in June to the address on their manuals and the mail was returned....moved and no forwarding address. /chris ============================================================================= | Chris Shatara | Internet: shatara@memit.dec.com | | | shatara@memit.enet.dec.com | | Opinions expressed are | DEC Easynet: memit::shatara | | mine and mine only! | UUCP: ...!decwrl!memit!shatara | =============================================================================

There is no tool30 on the Distribution disk for GS/OS v3.0 There is however a tool34. Are you sure the resouce manager is tool30? If the resource manager is indeed tool30 (somehow) and I loaded First Byte's tool30 into the */system/tools folder, could this cause the system error $1103 that I talked about in a recent posting? As I thought about these on the way in this morning, I won't have the opportunity to try this last idea out until this evening. /chris ============================================================================= | Chris Shatara | Internet: shatara@memit.dec.com | | | shatara@memit.enet.dec.com | | Opinions expressed are | DEC Easynet: memit::shatara | | mine and mine only! | UUCP: ...!decwrl!memit!shatara | =============================================================================
