My submission to comp.binaries.mac finally made it! There is a bug in the code for making buffer names from file names, due to an oversight on my part. I never noticed it since it only affects long file names, and I use the program for writing C source code. I don't have too many source files named "letter to my mother in Africa.c". To fix the bug: Find VIEWFILE (ASCII) Then change the next six FFF0 to FFB0. (hex) Find ADDLINE (ASCII) Then change the next 3F3C 007A to 3F3C 00BA. (hex) This gives you 64-character file names, which is probably long enough. I decided to call this copy of the program "3.8M" to denote its "Macness" (there was some additional code which had to be added to 3.8 to support the Mac interface). Please don't refer to it as "3.8m" since the authors of the "mainline" program may get up to 3.8m before changing the major version number.
