Ever since I had ARP installed (I also have dmouse), when I hit a control C, I get a requester saying user abort, but nomatter which choice is selected, the computer gurus. Am I doing something wrong? 1.2 OS with updated ARP 1.1, A2000, 2M ram. If needed I can supply more details but it happens very often, and can be duplicated. -- "What is a DJ if he can't scratch?" - Uncle Jamms Army The views expressed are those of the author, and not of Visual Edge, nor Usenet.

The problem you describe is one that was documented for the Lattice C compiler version 4.0, version 4.01 fixed this. Essentially, the bug was in the Lattice 4.0 library routine that put up the "Abort requested" requester. Get the 4.01 update and recompile your programs. Or get 5.0 and recompile your programs. This has absolutely _nothing_ to do with ARP. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

Am I doing something wrong? No, you are not. You have run into the lattice 4.0 bug. It was fixed in 4.01, but any program that uses the standard 4.0 libraries for break handling are broken. One thing to check, is the first character of the program name chopped off? If so, it IS the lattice bug for sure. (BTW, the requester is for lattice only.) -- ------ Walter Reed ------ + uunet!ndsuvax!ncreed or ncreed@ndsuvax.BITNET "There's no point in being + or ncreed@plains.NoDak.edu grown up if you can't be + childish sometimes!"
