am i dreaming or is there a problem with the new dfaultd (2.03) docs at around page 4 of the macwrite document? to study this i fell back to a generic system 6.0.2 (no non-apple inits!) on a macII (5M RAM) with no virii problems according to disinfectant 1.6. the problem is that around page 4 in the dfaultd doc the text becomes garbled. there appears to be a strange character in the text causing the problem. i say this because if i copy the strange text to the clipboard, the garbled (highlighted) text will redraw with the funny (pretzel, command) character shown in the text which isn't obvious before copying. after a moment i get a system error 12 (unimplemented core routine error) and a crash. macwrite is fine (if i don't read this document!). in fact, all else seems to be fine. anyone else seen this? -dave- hairston@henry.ece.cmu.edu
