[This is a reposting: as I explained elsewhere, I think I was posting stuff to the wrong place - please ignore if you've seen it before!] John Bunda & Marty Leisner both reported erratic behaviour by test5: I can confirm this too. I rebuilt V1.2 from scratch (on an Amstrad 1512, if anyone's interested) a couple of weeks ago and got exactly the symptoms described by Bunda - i.e. test5 hung first time around, I killed it OK with del, ran it directly and it worked, and thereafter it ran OK from within the script. This was with V1.2, direct from the PH distribution (incidently, all the rebuilt executable files came out slightly different sizes from the distributed versions: anyone know if this is significant? - I'm guessing the distribution was built on PC-IX and this explains the discrepancy).
