Has anyone else noticed a problem between the above two programs? Just today I unarchived DirWork V1.12 wich was posted to comp.binaries.amiga. After running the above program, an alert box (the ones simular to the guru box, orange box at the top of the screen, flashing) opens up with the above message: VMK found ADDTASK=$00xxxxxx which is abmormal. Might be a virus. [bunch of garbage ~ the sizw of the screen] Press LEFT mouse button to COLD START(Clear). RIGHT to DO NOTHING. This strangness only occures when both Xoper and DirWork are running. I cannot tell which program doesn't like the other. Each runs fine alone. Any Ideas???? (Side note: Running on an 2000 w/ 1.3) Kurt |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Kurt Hawkes Amiga 2000 (Hey, it works!

Try turing off DW's "Perodic Virus Memory Check'. DW reports 'viruses' with several programs I have including recoverable ram disks. Other than that, it is a nice utility. Ian Smith <ims103@psuvm.bitnet>

What I find really annoying is that DirWork checks every few second. I've found no way stopping this. Did I miss it in the manual? If it isn't stoppable the author should change this IMHO. Perhaps check on startup and have a 'Check' button. I've PatchLoadSeg installed. I get two alerts everytime.

And if you want that option always like that, select SAVE current config give the name of your DW executable and it will be modified to have your settings as soon as it starts up. Please note that it says could be virus not virus, when it finds something strange. -- Chris Hames - C/Assembler programmer | Fish: DirWork,FSDirs,VMK..| /~\/ \ 3:633/301.0 (Fido) | Commercial: Classified. | ( OZ ) mail ins778u@vax4.cc.monash.edu.au +---------------------------+ `--'\_/ OR uunet.uu.net\!vax4.cc.monash.edu.au\!ins778u o
