I haven't had much use of these improvements. Of course, with the improvements of FFS I could use my HD to its full extent, but since I don't need the extra disc space, I don't need the improvements. I have 1 GB free, and several hundred MB could probably be added to this if I took the time to get rid of odd stuff that has accumulated over time, e.g., my PageStream archive is over 125 MB, but there is really not much sence in saving PGS 4.07 and many later releases. > Editpad, the Unarc utility and the Dock are all useful too, but I > suppose could be replaced by shareware. I have since 1987 had no problems handling various achives without this Unarc utility, so I will probably be just fine without it. DOpus handles my archives just fine. No idea what Editpad or Dock is. My guess is that Dock is some kind of bank like DOpus' button banks. > Generally, the whole system seems more stable than it was under 3.1. I couldn't wish for my system to be more stable than it is at the moment. Okay, of course it would be nice if Voyager didn't crash as often as it does. However, I get the impression that I in general has fewer Voyager crashes than many other Voyager users. This is most probably dependant upon the sites being visited, and my list of most visited sites might be a bit more Voyager safe than other people's list of sites. I often experience days without Voyager crashing at all. And there are months between other applications causing a crash. My Guru log, which goes back to December 17th, only lists: Date : Friday 20-Dec-02 01:28:10 Task : 08785AC0 "MUI-PubScreen-YAM" Error : 8000000B (DEADEND) By : System Cause : Line 1111 Emulator error -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date : Friday 27-Dec-02 13:44:24 Task : 08502410 "MiamiPPPoE Unit 0" Error : 8000000B (DEADEND) By : System Cause : Line 1111 Emulator error -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In both cases Voyager was hanging at the same time, so the crash is most probably due to Voyager. In such cases I surely ascribe such crashes to Voyager and not the application being listed. And I use my Amiga all the day: YAM, NewsRog, Voyager running all the time, PageStream and Photogenics running intermittently. Not really using my Amiga for anything else. Uffe Holst
