[comp.sys.mac] What to do when Macwrite crashes?

NETOPRDC@NCSUVM.BITNET (Daniel Carr) (02/02/88)

i work in a mac lab where a lot of people use macwrite (in conjunction with
the laserwriter, of course).  Many times someone's mac crashes after they
have typed a couple of pages of text and before they have saved it.
     
Does anyone know the hex address i can G(o) to upon hitting the programmer's
switch on the side?  I believe many know the address to return to the finder.
If i could have that one too, i would truly appreciate it.
     
I know that it doesn't always work, but it is worth a try.  Please send e-mail
to me, rather than posting.
Thanks

If you're on a 128K ROM machine, you can type

	g 40f6d8

at the ">" prompt in the minidebugger.

This is not a recommended practice, because when MacWrite crashes, it leaves 
things in an inconsistent state. Your work is lost already, so the safest 
solution is to reboot.
