My communications toolbox application really likes to die with line 1111 errors (unimplemented instruction, id=10) on Mac Pluses and 512KE's, when I try to configure the CTB (somewhere between InitCRM and CMChoose, inclusive). I'm a bit vague, because the only one I can actually get my hands on refuses to exhibit the behavior. And a working disk (system, CTB, & app) from that system crashes at least one other (this disk WORKS 100% reliably on my system, but crashes 100% reliably on the other). Before I put on my travelling shoes and visit the offending macs (which is going to be a hassle), I thought I'd ask if anyone here has experienced this problem? If so, what fixed it? -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

What is your system (i.e. the one that it works on)? Would be good to know RAM size, MultiFinder active/inactive, system version, etc... What is the system that it is crashing on? RAM size, MultiFinder on/off, system version, etc... What are you calling in your CTB initialization? InitCRM(); // required InitCTBUtilities(); // also required InitCM(); // if using connection manager InitTM(); // if using terminal manager InitFT();// if using file transfer manager Byron Han

Byron Han and Tom Dowdy were nice enough to waste their time with me. I've learned a few things, and solved my problem. Thing One-The Communications Toolbox acts differently on machines with only 1MB of RAM; it waits to install patches and the like until it's actually used. Thing Two-If you call CMChoose without the proper initialization, 1MB macs will crash, whereas larger macs seem to survive (refer to Thing One). Thing Three-Know ALL the paths your code can take to get somewhere, not just ONE of them. (I guess I get the golden dunce cap for this one; I wasn't doing the initialization I thought I was, at least in one case.) Maybe this will help some other stupid person. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
