Re: standalone is crashing on Mac OS 8.0

2002-12-21 Thread cteno4
Nicholas,

I wouldnt worry about 8.0 much, it was very very buggy and i doubt many 
folks would still be running it w/o frequent crashing. 8.1 was a major 
fix, 8.5 lots of features and bugs, then 8.6 was the golden chile of the 
8.x series. snoop on apples site, if you have 8, 8.1 is free,  8.5 full 
install is is not free free, but the 8.6 is a free upgrade to the 8.5. 
the big 8x users out there will probably be early imacs and all those are 
at least 8.1 or better (ie schools).

 My guess is that 8.0 is the problem.  Try upgrading to 8.1 as many OS
 bugs were fixed in the update.  It is a free update.

Thanks. I'll follow up on that and see what happens.

In the mean time, though, that wouldn't solve the problem for users still on
8.0 -- or, are there such few people still on 8.0 that this isn't a (big)
concern?

Cheers,

Nicolas,
(B

(B
(B Hello,
(B
(B I've a relatively simple stack for creating illustrated bingo-cards. The
(B problem is that, though it runs fine under Mac OS8.0 as a stack and also
(B under Windows as both a stack and a standalone, it continually crashes the
(B system when it runs as a standalone on Mac OS 8.0. Specifically, the crash
(B happens while the script is setting the fileNames of the 25 image objects,
(B laid out in a 5x5 grid; after the 10th or so image objects has been
(B successfully loaded with an image (jpg or gif), the image-object that
(Bcomes
(B immediately after the last image that successfully loaded will remain
(Bempty
(B (blank) and, instead, I can literally hear the computer's HD grinding into
(B some kind of looped sound, which, after a few seconds, stops and then
(B everything on-screen freezes.
(B
(B Perhaps a memory issue? But, if so, why would it work as a stack but not
(Bas
(B a standalone? And, just in case, I tried setting the stack's buffer to
(Bboth
(B "always on" and "always off". No go with either.
(B
(B Thank you.
