somebody said that they had problem with some demos from that disk. Well, I downloaded it (from xanth). puttrax'ed it and booted it . Something from the Startup-sequence gurued the computer. Fair enough, I booted from a system disk and accessed the files one by one without all the fancy menu (powermenu ?) from the newsflash disk. Coma : it decompressed (lines of color) and then froze there. I guess it needs a pal machine Cebit : it decompressed and ran rather well. even on a ntsc machine. I have heard that on a pal machine, it looks better and that some part (which have to be in chip ram) are not skipped . by the way, I have a 500 with 1meg but without the fat agnus (so no pal emulation capable) . yes, I have had some problem with Puttrax. (file not found + guru) something that seemed to help was to CD to the dir with the file AND to specify the full path where the file is . I havent tried to put the file in a subdir and see the frequency of gurus occuring and I am not about to try to check it out . Walter
