The winning suggestion came from Rich Siegel, one of the net's most invaluable resources (Thanks, Rich!). He suggested that my System might be corrupted, and that I reinstall it. [Insert sound of me kicking myself.] I did, and I programmed for two whole hours Saturday night, with only a single bomb, and that not in THINK Pascal (it was DT launch). I'm still getting the occasional totally random Bus Error, but as far as I can tell that's inherent in System 6.0.7 and won't ever go away. PseudoFPU has taken care of all the reproducible Coprocessor Not Installed errors, but the totally random ones are still around. Anyway, THINK Pascal is working great again. Wish I could say as much for the System. -- Dave Matuszek (dave@prc.unisys.com) I don't speak for my employer. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | When I was young, my family bought a color TV.
