I know this has been posted here before, but I missed it....
I can't get NewPop to work, it Gurus like mad. I just got the newest rev
off AB20, can someone tell me what to do about it (maybe the guy who was
having problems with it before?)

Start with posting your hardware and software configuration (eg, A3000 with 2.03,etc), and your newpoprc file. Include any details necessary to duplicate the problem. For example, does it GURU right away? While running program xx? If it GURUs right away, disable all of your other background tasks first, and see if it still does it. If it does, add one at a time back in and see which one causes it to fail. Then, disable all but Newpop and the one you thought caused it to fail, and see if it still GURUs. Then report the problem. These kind of details are required to work on any problem, not just NewPop (except for .newpoprc of course). Until you can supply some more information, Loren doesn't have anything to go on. It obviously works for him, and it works for me (I was a beta-tester for 4.0). Tell us what you are doing differently, and maybe it can get fixed. One starting point to look at is the SCSI monitor. If you have it active, PLEASE report your hard drive controller and the task name. Disable it for now and see if it still GURUs. -- .../Ed Preferrred: Ed.Wilts@BSC.Galaxy.BCSystems.Gov.BC.CA Ed Wilts Alternate: EdWilts@BCSC02.BITNET (604) 389-3430 B.C.
