[comp.sys.mac] Strange New Crash with Dollars and $ense

jdm@boulder.Colorado.EDU (James D. Meiss) (09/25/89)

	Mac SE 20
	System 6.02
	Dollars and $ense 4.1B

	I've been using Dollars and $ense, more or less successfully
for several years. Suddenly I'm getting system error 2 or 10 each time
I try to input a new or edit an old transaction.
	I was infected by nVir recently (but am now clean according to
Disinfectant), so I'm pretty paranoid, so here's
what I did:
	1) put a brand new system and finder on my SE 20's hard disk
	2) Zapped the PRAM
	3) Created a brand new D&$ file

To no avail...still crashes. So I did the following:
	1) Created a brand new floppy with new system
	2) Copied a brand new D&$ application onto the floppy from 
	the original, locked disk
	2) Started up from the floppy
	3) Dismounted the hard disk

To no avail....still crashes.
I can't possibly see how a pristine system and pristine version of D&$ could
crash!!! Maybe the ROM of my Mac has gone bad :(. However nothing else seems
to crash.
	It seems to be crashing someplace in TextEdit. I've tried to look at it
with TMON, but TMON usually gets trashed in the crash as well!

	Any suggestions?

   Dollars & $ense 4.1 shouldn't work with system 6.02
>	Dollars and $ense 4.1B
                          ^^^^  there is now a 4.1c which is compatible
with system 6.0.  Contact Monogram for an upgrade.

	This is the trick. In the process of rebuilding my disk, post-nVIR,
I loaded the old version of D&$ (from the original disk) onto my SE. Luckily
I still had 4.1.c on a backup floppy. May lightning strike dead the author
of nVIR!

	It's great to have this support group out there in netland!!
What would I do without you guys.

	Thanks
