I am trying to run the animation demo Berserk. It keeps failing with the message: Load of junk failed: Iff status -9 It does exactly the same thing on my A1000 and on the B2000, the latter with nearly 3meg of ram free. I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas? Pat Palmer arxt@sphinx.uchicago.edu p.s. I downloaded the version on Fish disk 100 from the archive at U. Illinois. I used Berserk, Berserk.zoo, and c.zoo.

So, somewhere in the file there's a problem. All the pieces have to add up in an IFF file, or the loading routines will fail. Try to re-download the file, or get a copy from a friend. It's worth it, Berserk is a great animation. Keep your eyes open for a slightly 'modified' version RSN. -- -Ken Baer. // Hash Enterprises: When the Going gets Wierd, the Wierd go Professional \X/ USENET - baer@percival.UUCP, PLINK - KEN BAER, BIX - kbaer, "while (AINTGOTNOSATISFACTION) { do stuff }" - RJ Mical

All right, so I haven't cooked up a display hack in far too long a time. All Right, so I couldn't think of anything to do to Steve Hartford. ALL RIGHT, so my animations of late have been underwhelming. *ALL RIGHT*, so I *didn't* get my multitasking article published in Byte! **ALL RIGHT**, so I forgot that the Mac-SE has a fan, too!! ***ALL RIGHT***, so I haven't renewed my BIX account!! >>**ALL RIGHT**<<, SO I'VE BEEN PISSING AWAY THE TIME WITH MY NOSE IN "BLOOM COUNTY" ANTHOLOGIES!!!! **BUT IS THAT ANY REASON TO GANG UP ON ME??!?!?!??!?!?!??** OOOoooooo, I'm gettin' paranoid again... Drat. I'm getting old, too. I'll be 24 in less than a month. *Sigh* [ Don't worry, I'll be fine.
