And here's a (short) extract from the (long) .readme to make sure we're
talking about the same thing:-
Short: Shows useful info about the last guru

Type: util/moni
DESCRIPTION
Are you tired of always having troubles with finding your pen and
paper just to write down the last guru you got. Now this problem is
solved because I have written a 'small' and quick program that will
show, not only the last guru, but a nice hint to what caused it.
Like this...
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| | DaLastAlert 3 | |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| Alert Number : 0x80000005 |
| Alert Task : 0x0800DDE8 |
| ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Alert Name : ACPUG_DivZero |
| Spec. Alert : Hardware/CPU |
| Spec. Error : Divide by zero |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------|
| _________________________________________ |
| Alert Number : |_________________________________________| | -+

| About Last alert Quit | |

"If there is one thing that is guaranteed to turn even the most sane
Amiga-user into to an irrational, salivating wild beast it's a system
crash. When this happens it's a good idea to make a note of the guru
number that is flashed on screen. Unfortunately the average human is
unlikely to be in a state of mind that will facilitate the execution of
such a complex action. During these moments of debilitating rage you
will certainly benefit from a program like LastAlert2.
LastAlert2 is a Wb2+ program that will record the last message
displayed by you machine. This will give you the opportunity to take
note of this number while you are in a more... chemically balanced
state-of-mind."
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Allan.
