I have heard there is an init that reserves memory that Continuum
needs. Without this init, the ram cache and all inits have to be
disabled to play the game. If anyone out there has this init (or can
tell me where to get it) please email to so@cs.duke.edu
Thanks,
Steve

I have been playing Cont. for about a month (the newest version) with 30 plus inits going and having absolutely no problems or crashes. I have a II cx. Do you have a II ci or II fx? What gives.

I have a >II cx. Do you have a II ci or II fx? What gives. This was in response to a request I made for an Init to fix Continuum 1.03. Let me be a bit more specific. I have a Mac + with 2.5 MB running System 6.0.5 under Multifinder. I have lots of inits and the ram cache turned on. When I start Continuum, I get a message that Continuum can't run with lots of inits or the ram cache on. It also says it won't work with System 6.0, but I think 6.0.5 is ok. There are 2 options: I can quit or I can click on a button that says I have reserved the area of high memory it needs (this is what I need the init for). I clicked this button (the worst it can do is crash), but it came back with a repeat of the message described above. Seems it wasn't fooled. If I turn off all inits, the ram cache, and multifinder, Continuum works. I haven't tried other combinations, but I would like to run it with everything turned on! It could be that the different architecture of a Mac II ** is the reason Todd hasn't had this problem, but I'm not a guru. Anyway, to make a short story long, Continuum says that there does exist an init that will avoid the memory conflict. If anyone has it or can tell me where to get it, please email to so@cs.duke.edu.

Is there a version of Continuum that will run on my SE/30? If so, where can I obtain a copy? Thanks. Jim Collymore
