No, but possibly you and I are the only two. Actually, I've noticed this problem for quite a while now. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it has persisted from version 2.1 up to version 4...

I also blame MacIP for several system crashes under system 7.0. I didn't report anything while running the different beta versions of 7.0, but when the apple menu problem and crashes continued in the release version I sent a note to the support Email address at Stanford. I haven't heard back from them. Mark Powers

Yup, MacIP4.01 fixed the problem. For those who have SU-MacIP4.0 license and don't have MacIP4.01, drop me email and I'll send the binhexed MacIP4.01 to you and your site contact person. It's not available via anonymous FTP. Using C call (Open (MPW C 2.0 ?) for opening Apple Menu item somehow has such problem. And I don't think I did it the wrong way either. Anyway, changing it to use Pascal call fixed it. Here is the Pascal call version. if (theItem > SKIPAPPLE) { GetPort(&saveport); /* Aaron said C call version will bomb in System 7.0 */ GETITEM(mainData.menu[menu_id(APPLEMENU)], theItem, deskname); OPENDESKACC(deskname); SetPort(saveport); } > >-- >David Schlesinger (lefty@apple.com) | C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:. >Apple Computer, Cupertino, CA | > Andy Maas Stanford University
