Peter Cherna of amiga has informed me of a bug in GOMF that might be affecting Less 1.3 -- In the program I open a 620/400 window, if that fails I open a 620/200, this allows the program to automatically adjust to interlace mode. Peter told me if you do this with GOMF running it will cause a write to low mem (I think 0x7A) that is caused by GOMF not handeling the error return on the first OpenWindow that it SetFunction'ed This patch will change Less 1.3 to only do the second open (always use a small window), Could someone with GOMF apply this patch to their copy of Less and see if GOMF stops writting to low mem I made the patch with FILEZAP (from fish#14) to sector 77 (decimal) offset contents 050 FFFC4878 03EE487A current data 050 FFFC6016 03EE487A new data this patch will jump around the first open which will fail if you are not in interlace mode, I would like to know if this fixes the problem even though it is NOT Less's fault, I have NEVER had MEMWATCH detect Less writing to low mem but several people have mentioned the problem, I think I have finally isolated it to GOMF, but since I don't own a copy I need your help. --Bob Leivian
