It seems that _Launch 2.x not only crashes on Mac Pluses, but is also
unusable on IIci's. Both of these problems are being looked into, and
will hopefully be solved soon.

_Lauch 2.5 also crashes on a IIcx. I tried it with MacWrite 4.6 and FullWrite 1.1 and both programs crashed into MacsBug after I typed a few (about 6) characters. Removing _Launch solved the problem. -- Jeff Kuskin, Dartmouth College jskuskin@eleazar.dartmouth.edu

I'm using _Launch 2.5 with a Mac IIcx, 5 MB, 6.04, and Multifinder 6.1b7. I can successfully run Word, Excel, MacDraw, NCSA Telnet, tn3270, and MPW 3.0. I have a reasonable ton of inits / cdevs as well. I like the program - /mde/

After doing some INIT shuffling (I nominate John Rotenstein for elevation to MacDeity for INIT CDEV -- did you get my postcard, John?), I found that _Launch2.5 clashes with both Moire 3.0 and WindowShade. Installing either one causes _Launch to not launch, then the Mac freezes on the next mouse click. I've already sent mail to "Luni" about this; I thought the rest of you might want to know as well. #define JUST_KIDDING Having replaced Moire with Darkness (by the same author), I wonder if the Moire clash was deliberate? :-) #undef JUST_KIDDING I'm using a IIcx with portrait monitor, system 6.0.4, and tons of INITs and CDEVs. -- Larry Kollar UUCP ...!gatech!dcatla!mclek VoiceMail:One 2670 Georgia 400: the Southeast's premier 48-mile 4-lane dragstrip.

Well, I have finally made _Launch 2.5 crash on my Macintosh (IIcx, 5MB, 6.04, Multifinder 6.1b7). It turns out that when an appplication runs out memory, rather than Application Unexpectedly Quit (out of memory), you get buss errors (with MacsBug). Usually you can escape out of the application, which will be _Launch 2.x. You will get an Application Unexpectedly Quit Message. I have a feeling that it has something to do with handles being trashed by the expiring program that aren't being handled by _Launch 2.x Just a thought - /mde/
