This has me beat. Could someone PLEASE tell me why these lines cause a software crash. They are the only lines in a deck which has one button and this is the CLICK script. OpenFile "RAM:MyFile","NewFile",WriteOnly,NewFile FileWriteChars "NewFile","903CFF",MaxInteger,HEX Close "NewFile" This should create a file in ram consisting of three bytes of data. I am using CanDo 1.6 under Workbench 1.3 on a Amiga 1000. It's probably something silly but I can't find it. Gary, Sydney Australia

Gary, sorry, but I could _not_ recreate your crash on my system. I used _exactly_ your script. I looked up all commands – the syntax is correct. I thought, maybe it could be because you didn't write 'WriteOnly' and 'NewFile' in capitals but that doesn't make any difference… Mind you, I'm using CanDo 2.01 under WB 2.04 on an Amiga 2000 with CSA-MMR 030. No problem at all. I press the button and have MyFile in RAM: with these three bytes in it… // Chris coming in from Germany \X/ on AutoPilot 1.051……….

Christian, thanks for trying those lines of code. I tried booting from the original CanDo floppies incase it was a virus on my HD or a corrupt file but the program still crashed. I also used HiSoft basic to implement the same program and it worked fine. Is it a bug in 1.6 ? (INOVAtraonics are you there?) Gary

Gary, there were several problems with HEX output and conversions with version 1.6. I really think the only workaround is the upgrade. Sorry. Martin

Is it possible to give the precise information how a European, registered owner of Cando 1.5 can upgrade to v2.0 ? I do not own Cando myself, but I am a sysop of a BBS, and one of my users complained that he could not get the info on how to upgrade. I will pass on the information. Thanks in advance, Herman

Herman, upgrade/information is available from Inovatronics GmbH Im Heidkamp 11 D-51107 Kvln (or 'Cologne' for French/English people…) The subsidiary is managed by Martin Murray, who used to participate in the development of CanDO 'in the olden days' and he's in charge of the whole of Europe as regards INOVAtronics activities. If your user is registered, Martin should have him in his list. // Chris coming in from Germany \X/ on AutoPilot 1.051……….
