What I do: Foo> mkdir ram:libs Foo> cp libs:* ram:libs Foo> mv smallIFFparse.library ram:libs/iffparse.library Foo> assign libs: ram:libs Foo> snap (This was not done with Snap :^) Now the three lines with copyrights come up, then I snap some text; as soon as I release the left Amiga key: GURU 00000008.00C*****, where the value of the * varies from 10000 to 4FFFF, 100% repeatable. This happens with graphics as well. This is with memory expansion enabled. With NoFastMem, the same happens except the GURU no. is now 00000008.00035*** or around that. I have tried Workbench 1.2 D v33.56 (the German version my machine came with, difference lies only in that some of the 'secret messages' were cleaned up) WB 1.3 v34.20 - the vanilla C= one, and WB 1.3 v34.20 - my own customized Workbench with ARP, several residents and programs in the background like PopCLI, PIP: device, VirusX 4.01 etc. The problem lies NOT in ARP as I have tried several setups without it. I have also tried all combinations of Kickstart 1.2/1.3 and WB1.2/1.3 In all cases: GURU. It does not seem to trash anything else, as I could in some cases (where just a requester comes up instead of the flashing red box) continue working with other programs. My hunch: the extra memory is causing problems, as I cannot switch it off, (well I could take it out, but I broke a pin when I was installing it (not my fault, just 'poor-student' quality hardware) and only my faith is holding it together) Do you (WFY) have any extra memory installed? A note to the author: could you let Snap say something when it does not find the iffparse.library? As it is now you do not know what is wrong, it just does not work.
