[comp.sys.atari.st] Vault V2.01 and TOS 1.0 ??

longj@LONEX.RADC.AF.MIL (Jeffrey K. Long) (03/21/90)

I downloaded Vault201 from terminator the other day, and it would bomb with
two bombs when I tried to run it.  Actually, I could get to the first and
second screens, but after the program would format the disk in drive A, it
would bomb as soon as it started to write the back-up to disk.  Has anyone
else seen problems like this with Vault?
  Its not my drive, everthing else works fine (Turtle 3.0 for instance) just
this one program.

Any help/tips would be appreciated.

I was getting two bombs after going through a couple of
screens until I rebooted with an (almost) empty \auto
folder, no accessories, and I ran vault right after booting.

Running almost any program before running Vault would give
me bombs.  Mind you, I didn't bother with much experimentation
after I was able to get a good backup.
