[comp.sys.atari.st] CHAIN accessory - problem

KAERNBAC@DBNPIB5.BITNET (08/09/87)

I programmed an accessory CHAIN (with Megamax-C), which should be
quite usefull:
it `Pexec'utes any selected file (via file selector menu).
In this way, one can use utilities like SEARCH, DIFFER etc. whilst
in the editor.

* * *  The only mistake is: it doesn't work.

I can execute any file with my accessory CHAIN, if I am at desktop
level. From a minor program (like Megamax SHELL.PRG) I can start another
minor program (like Megamax SHELL.PRG).
From a bigger program (like WORDPLUS) I can't even start a very little
one: it will bomb... (reboot required).

Does anybody see that this should be so?
Or have an idea why this could be so?

Kind regards    Ck
