Two Questions: is it possible to execute an "ea" command (Exit to Appliction) from within a program? Does debugging software that supports the ea function need to be installed if so? Also, why is it "illegal" to move memory at interrupt time? Ando Sonenblick: sonenbli@oxy.edu

What if you interrupt the Memory Manager while it was moving memory or compact- ing the heap. You would try to re-enter it while in an inconsistant state. The alternative to this would be to turn off interrupts while the Memory Manager was in this state, but that would mean that interrupts would be turned off a LOT. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions
