Czychi, University of St.Gallen, Switzerland > CZYCHI@CSGHSG52.BITNET CZYCHI@ETHZ.UUCP I accidentally posted Moire 1.41 to the nets, which had a few bugs. I tried to cancel it, but it was posted onto comp.binaries.mac before i could stop it. Moire 2.12 fixes all these bugs (hopefully). I posted it to the moderator a month ago, so it should be released any day now. (if i remember, i was saving some data structure like a grafport (56bytes ?) and the bug was fixed in 1.43). john lim ps : hope that the bug didnt cause any major problems.
