Could this be a bug in KS/WB 1.2? It's a bug in something! At random times, a small dot - we're talking single pixel - appears near the upper right hand corner of a CLI window. The dot DOES NOT scroll. It cannot be erased by text. If I shrink the window and re-expand it, it disappears. The dot has no harmful effects, although it is a little annoying. It happens only with CLI windows. Having lots of experience with the way operating systems work, this worries me; it may be only the rash of a greater disease. How many dots are being plotted in off-screen memory? Maybe it is only a bug in the text renderer, maybe something much deeper, maybe a bug in the 68000, maybe a bug in nature...

Is this happening to anyone else out there? One more thing, was that an Amiga I saw in "The Living Daylights" where 007 is taking to "Q" in the lab? There's an out-of-focus computer behind Q that looks a lot like one. Too bad they never use it. -- Andrew Folkins ...ihnp4!alberta!andrew 53 24' N, 113 30' W The University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
