i've been having some trouble with os9 level two lately.the first problem is with runb.when an i-code module name is typed,os9 should use runb to execute it.this works fine if runb and the i-code module are both in the same block of memory.even if they both are in memory, if they aren't in the same block i get an error#43(unknown procedure). anybody got any ideas? has anybody out there tried making their own icons for multi-vue? i'm kind of confused from the manuals description.it says to use a 24 by 24 bitmap,but that's about it. vern

You should look at the memory requirements of the procedures you are running. > has anybody out there tried making their own icons for multi-vue? Yes--I have made a few icons, though I must admit I sort of cheated, because I used an icon editor. There are several floating around; the thing to do is probably to post a uuencoded or CUTS encoded file with one of them (once I make sure it's kosher). James Jones

Runb is extremely buggy as far as finding modules. My own experience is that runb will start to execute a packed Basic09 program, but when that program tries to call one of the machine-code procedures (INKEY, GFX2, or SYSCALL), runb can't find it, even tho it's already loaded into memory. Maybe you're right about the same-block business, tho I wonder why L2 would be mixed up over that. Sad to say, I have given up entirely on Runb and use Basic09 for my own programs. If someone gave me a packed program I would just hope and pray it didn't use any of the machine code procedures, but without them a program isn't much fun or use. (I bought The Wiz, a Runb program, but haven't tried it yet and now I know yet another reason not to bother with it.) A year ago on Delphi they discussed ways to fool Runb into working more or less, but I forget the details. Maybe it's time to reopen the wound. -- Mike Knudsen Bell Labs(AT&T) att!ihlpl!knudsen "Lawyers are like nuclear bombs and PClones.
