I've had the same problem with earlier versions of QuickST and other
programs (I'm not a Flash user). For awhile there, we were getting a new
version of QuickST over the net every couple of weeks. I'd uudecode it,
unarc it, install it, discover that it was still broken, and erase it.
I'm sorry to hear that it still doesn't work right.
If QuickST is indeed fixed and this turns out to be a Flash problem, I hope
somebody will let me know. Otherwise I'll buy Turbo ST one of these days
when I'm in the mood to write a check.

I have Flash v1.52 and QuickST v.2.20 and it seems either no one comes across this problem or everyone is just ignoring it. The problem is that Flash tends to leave remaining cursors everywhere on the screen (I'm emulating vt100). Even when I disable QuickST, it still does this. Only when I not load in QuicskST on autoboot does the problem disappear. I've tried using some german program (called fixflash or something like that) but it doesn't seem to work. Alas, I have no docs to that program. I'm not sure which program is at fault, but it sure is annoying. It even warrants me to boot Flash on my disk drive (yech!) as opposed to my hard drive so I don't have to reconfigure my autoboot programs there. Steven

I have the same problem with QuickST 2.2 and MicroEmacs (3.9 I believe, maybe 3.10) It appears to be QuickST problem as I've seen it happen on some STuff as well (of course, maybe the other STuff was just written wrong). Even with the cursor problems, I'm still a big QuickST fan! -- ||| David W.

I used Flash 1.60 on his computer and I got the cursor left-overs as well. I told Darek Mihoka about it, but he didn't believe me. (Said something about it being a problem with Flash or that I was using an older version of Q-ST...) Obviously it is a problem with Q-ST 2.20 as well. Incidentally, Turbo ST 1.84 does NOT leave junk all over the screen, but it unfortunately disables the ability for Flash to display underlines. >I've tried using some german program (called fixflash or something like >that) but it doesn't seem to work. Alas, I have no docs to that program. Does anybody know what this program (fixflash) does? If it fixes the problem with the underline in TurboST I'd love to see it on atari.archive! >I'm not sure which program is at fault, but it sure is annoying.

Why not use a program like SuperBoot or DeskManager? It'll make your life much easier in the long run! > >Steven Dom
