Can anyone send me a list of FTP sites that support the Amiga? More specifically, I'm looking for the PD release of GOMF. Any info would be appreciated. thanx ---------------------------------------------------------\ |/\/\/\/\/Jon Deutsch |"For my 2 cents\ \ |jon@sun.acs.udel.edu | \I'd pay a dollar" / ---------------------------------------------------------/

I can upload it if you really want, but I woudn't bother. So far I have NEVER, EVER had it catch a single error in any of my or anybody else's programs, except the ones it came with. Not once. Ever. I wonder if GOMF 3.0 does any better? -- Darren

On the other hand, both Angela and I use it when working with Lattice C, and it has saved us many, many reboots. It doesn't always work, by any means, but it does catch about 80-90% of the Really Ctoopid Mistake (the kind I make a lot :-) )-based crashes. - R'ykandar. -- | R'ykandar Korra'ti | Editor, LOW ORBIT | PLink: Skywise | CIS 72406,370 | | Elfinkind, Unite! | phoenix@ms.uky.edu | phoenix%ms.uky.edu@ukcc.bitnet |

I've never been terribly impressed with GOMF1.0, and found that it at times caused more problems than it solved. I've heard (but not witnessed first hand) that 3.0 is somewhat more useful, but still not 100%. Advice: find out what is causing the GURU, and take whatever steps are necessary to avoid it. If it is a commercial program, then call tech support for the program's distributor, and let them know what is happening. Be specific. If GOMF3.0 works as advertised, it would still be a curse instead of a godsend, in the long term. It is always better to fix the source of the problem than apply a bandaid. --hal -- ---------------- hgm@ccvr1.ncsu.edu "Those that won't innovate, litigate" netoprhm@ncsuvm.bitnet

I have GOMF 1.0 and it catches alot of errors. I would say about 80%. It is the PD version and I am satisified with it. Jerry
