I'm pretty sure it was probably *somewhere* here on
this List, recently, that I saw the hint about Type 25
errors, to try simply giving the app more memory and
see if that helps.

I hadn't known that - I was under some mis-impression
that Type 25 was strictly related to some really
complex incurable system- or memory-error, and that
only the Type 10 or 11 (I forget which) were the
not-enough-RAM errors... Well, I was wrong.

One of my favorite little utility apps has
consistently refused to run on my OS 8.1 partition,
although it has always worked quite well under 7.5.5
and earlier, and I'd gloomily assumed that it was just
incompatible with 8.1, or that it didn't play well
with Kaleidoscope (used with 8.1 only), and I'd
written it off as being unusable.

However, I finally got around to trying what I'd read
about raising the memory, and guess what. That app
works now! I am very happy about that. I raised both
the "minimum" and "preferred" to the same number - was
a mere 40 K, but now is happily running at 400 - maybe
didn't need to raise it *that* far, but I figured what
the heck...

Anyway, I'm sure glad I saw that message about Type 25
and raising the app's allocated memory - I don't know
who the author was because I don't have the original
email anymore, but whoever you are, I very much
appreciate the info - a million thanks!

  (re previous problem,
  battery didn't cure it
  nor did the time-delay
  CP (with the 8600 monitor
  thing) but have some other
  things to try meanwhile.
  If I haven't figured it
  out in another couple
  months, I'll likely post
  back here again, about it)
