I've encountered a perplexing problem with Textcraft. I normally boot
my system with my Lattice C compiler disks. I'm running version 3.10 under
Workbench version 1.2. I can execute Textcraft from the CLI with no trouble
except that it returns an error code when I finish. But then my current
directory isn't right for the files I want to access and Textcraft won't let
me change directories.
So I loaded the Workbench (LOADWB), inserted the disk with my Textcraft
documents, and opened the appropriate directory. Now Textcraft writes
"sys:textcraft" as the default tool in the icon files it creates. That
won't work if Textcraft isn't on the boot disk, so I used the Workbench Info
function to change the default tool to "Textcraft:textcraft". Then I
double-clicked the document icon.
I get a requester telling me to put "Textcraft:" in any drive. When I
do so it starts loading the program. Finally, the background screen for
Textcraft appears, followed shortly by a requester asking me to replace the
disk I removed to make room for "Textcraft:". I've tried it both ways,
removing the Workbench disk and removing the document disk. The requester
is what I expect.
However, when I insert the disk identified in the requester nothing
happens. Normally, the drive light comes on to verify the disk. About half
the time the pointer won't move. If it moves it won't do anything to the
requester. After about half a minute the screen goes black and I get a Guru
meditation number: 00000025 00000000.
Has anybody else experienced this? Does anybody at CATS know anything
about it? Does anybody at CATS want to know anything about it?
