I was having a problem with the letter 'S' in Snap.. it was snapping/pasting as a '3'. After a reboot, the letter 'g' was snapping/pasting as a '3'. Now I just noticed that the single quote is snapping as a '3'.

It's very nice to hear that you people are using Snap, but do you have to tell the whole world about the bugs? :-) It seems like the InvertKeymap() code has some problems with some keymaps. I'll take a look at it. A new release will be made when these problems are sorted out. The new release will also include a text-only version with a smaller executable for floppy users. Bug reports and suggestions are welcome, as always. -- Mikael Karlsson, Lovsattersvagen 10, S-585 98 LINKOPING, SWEDEN micke@slaka.UUCP, micke@slaka.sirius.se {mcvax,munnari,seismo}!sunic!liuida!slaka!micke

Hi folks, happy about the new version of Snap in my hands I installed it on my Amiga. But while playing a little around to test the new features (great ones) I found the first bug. My snap doesn't snap the character 'f'. It just swallows it. If I want to snap 'difficult' I get 'diicult' for example. I have an 2000A, 3MB, Priam v185 HD, KS1.3 and after startup there is Xoper2.2,VirusX4.0, Jazzbench, Popupmenu (which isn't working very stable since the new version 1.42. What about a new version?) I use the normal font (Topaz 8), but it seems to happen with every font I tested yet. Does anybody have any solutions? Is there a new version of Jazzbench available? (I have V0.8) So long Joerg

In line with SNAP not recognisising the 'f', I just a an even more painful trouble: don't try to redefine a key to a string key. Snap will GURU (3, I believe address trap). Why do this ? I have a German keyboard. The '2'/'@' key is a '2'/'"' key on the German keyboard. The '@' can be reached with ALT. But not CTRL '@', i.e. NUL. I wanted this for MG, to be in line with the keyboard labels. I doubt I would have ever used it, but anyway. So I made the key a string key. Seems you should better confine this to function keys ... I don't think that this is a major bug, but it took me some time and heavy swearing to find out ;-) | lchristoph@Sun.COM (Internet) | Disclaimer: | | ...!unido!sunmuc!lupe (German EUNet, "bang") | My employer has a | | lupe@sunmuc.UUCP (German EUNet, domain) | non-exclusive license | | ...!suninfo!lchristoph (Sun Germany customers) | to my opinion. |

No. And there isn't going to be unless I get my harddrive controller back sometime within the next millenia or two... :( ...and then I have to worry about the exlectrical problem that started this 6-month long tirade of broken computer parts. #define ADVICE Never try and develop system-level software on a 500 that is trying to act like it's a 2000. The result would make a great Greek Tragedy on trying to be something you're not [I forget the techinical term... ]. #undefine ADVICE Sorry -- I have some wonderful ideas sitting on the wall right in front of me. I'm just waiting for the right moment to implement them. If I had had a working machine, it would have been completed by now. Apologies to all.

A problem that confounded me was that I need to hold down Left-Alt in addition to the named qualifier key. E.g. in order to snap text I have to hold down both Left-Alt and Left-Amiga. Holding down Left-Alt and Right-Amiga with one hand to snap graphics is a bit awkward so I redefine the graphics qualifier to Left-Shift. Other than that is seems to work OK. (Not that I've used it much.) Oh yeah, if I redefine the text qualifier to Left-Alt I can't snap text any more. -=- Bill Dirks "The secret of life is to look good at a distance." dirks@kaa.eng.ohio-state.edu -- Snoopy

It worked great on my 1000. But now, all I get is: "I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." I can't get anything. Disk icons won't open. And I can't even kill the program. I have to reboot.

No, and it's frustrating. I've gotten many notices that 2500/30 with rev6.2 doesn't work. Why it's only 6.2, I don't know -- maybe it's not, hey, who knows. Anyway I would suspect that a bug that went unnoticed in the 68000 environment is biting me in the 68030. The code is all straight 'C' code, so I hardly imagine I'd have the usual problems. However, I ran into a notice that one is not supposed to do signed arithmetic on pointers -- I might have done something like that... Also, a file that shouldn't be, gets left open and this might cause problems too... As the program that opened it is dead :) If you figure it out -- LET ME KNOW!! -Dave > > - Bear David Navas navas@cory.berkeley.edu
