What would be the next step in getting us Amigos a version that will run under AmigaDOS without this problem? Do you have an idea how long that will take? Is this strictly a problem with the Amiga port of Cfront, or basically an AT&T bug that only shows on the Amiga, or something else? Will you take on this bug yourself, Greg, or can you get AT&T to fix it? Is there anything I can do to grease the wheels of progress? Tom
