The Camera DA (time-delayed screen shots) breaks under System 6.0.2. Is there an alternative method to take screen shots with the menus pulled down? The application I'm taking the screen shots of requires 6.0, so reverting to an earlier System is not possible. Thanks, Greg Herlihy David_Greg_Herlihy@cup.portal.com

It's a commercial product, but it can take a snapshot at any time without limitations. Works like a charm, it's never crashed anything and I've never found a compatibility problem.

My story has a happy ending. Aron Roberts sent me the necessary patch. Apparently the call to SysBeep was hanging the System. The patch is quite straightforward. Replace the 3 occurences of: 3F 3C 00 05 A9 C8 with NOPs: 4E 71 4E 71 4E 71 The three occurences are very near each other. Greg Herlihy David_Greg_Helihy@cup.portal.com
