Has anybody besides me had trouble running Harpoon under 2.0 on a 3000? It's _almost_ all there, but several gadgets and strips of text are literally invisible under 2.0, although they show up fine under 1.3. Any ideas? -- Fred Hamilton "Unlike most of you, Harris Semiconductor I am not a nut..." Santa Clara, CA -Homer Simpson

I believesomeone from Commodore wrote it up for a list of bugs that was being sent to Three-Sixty via the Harpoon mailing list. After calling the Harpoon hotline, I was told that they are getting ready to release an update although they would not say when, just asked me for my name so that they could send me the upgrade....

As has been mentioned in the past (a couple months ago, I believe), the game will NOT run under 2.0. The missing text is the least of their problems. I saw a post that one of the CBM guys has looked into the game and found they did a LockLayers() and never unlocked it. Under 1.3 this worked, but under 2.0 this will deadlock when one of the requester windows comes up. I have sent mail to Three-Sixty a couple times at their CompuServe address. The response I got was that they have already fixed the 2.0 compatibility problems, but that they are waiting to add some of the missing features from the IBM version before releasing the update. This, too, was a couple of months ago. From time to time I send them a note asking about how long it will be and always get the same dumb response ("If you sent in your registration card you will be notified when it is available." Then I asked them if they could check that they actually received my card and got no reply...). Personally, I'd rather have the 2.0 compatible version NOW and have to upgrade again for the other stuff than have to wait forever. These guys don't seem real Amiga oriented, if you catch my drift... -=> CAW Christopher A. Wichura Multitasking.
