I started programming again, with THINK Pascal (version 2.0.3) and found some problems with using it on a MacIIci with System 6.0.4: 1) I have two color cursor INITs, neither of them is compatible with the THINK Pascal run time environment. Basically what happens is that the hot spot of the cursor is offset by 16 points, or so, but ONLY in the run time environment. 2) If ScrollLimit INIT is installed, and in the run time environment, mouse clicks are not handled right, specifically in DAs and in the menu. Basically if you pull down a menu, move the cursor over the title bar of a window, the window will be "caught" and drag, and the menu will disapear. The screen is typically left in a non-updated condition. 3) I am getting continuous ID=1 errors when trying to launch THINK Pascal under Multifinder, it works once, sometimes twice, and then stops working, with the ID=1 error. My solution is to restart, but its annoying (espcially with Sundesk, my god is that a slow starter! :-). 4) I seem to get spurious random crashes, though not often enough to be very anoying, of the entire computer, from within THINK Pascal, whether in Multi- finder, or not! Any advice should probably be mailed to me and I will sumerize to the net. Thanks - Yossie
