Boomerang 2.1 arrived in the mail in August. I like the new features, and I'm very impressed by getting this level of support in return for a $30 shareware fee. BUT I've been having more crashes than usual for the last month. No particular pattern, and nothing in particular casts suspicion on Boomerang, but it's the main change in my operating environment in that period. So I'm wondering if anyone else has been having trouble with version 2.1. The previous version worked fine for me. BTW, does the author have an Internet or BITNET address? The documentation gives e-mail addresses on compuserve and GEnie, but they don't do me any good. Harry Bochner bochner@das.harvard.edu

Well, you can send mail to a compuserve user by mailing to USERID@compuserve.comwhere USERID is the person's user ID number on compuserve. This works from Internet; I don't know about BITNET.

One essential point was omitted here, the comma in the Compuserve userid has to be changed to a period. I've been using Boomerang 2.1 for a number of weeks now and haven't noticed any strangeness. You could try junking the preferences file to see if that makes any difference, although I think a corrupted Boomerang prefs file usually just causes Boomerang to forget the files it's supposed to be keeping track of -- never heard of it causing any other problems.
