Downloaded WHAP12.ARC, and the docs are screwed!!!!
"ReadMe" states *TWICE!* to delete the params.whap file (which I did), and
then, when I try to run Whap!, it}i can't find params (ok, use de}ifaults), but
then when Whap! main screen comeGE}5 up, a requestor appears saying "Can Not
Find Terminal" (of course, deleted params!) and then Whap! goes away.
SOmeone should check that NOW! before serious howling goes out a}iround here

Charles,
You're right.
I unarced my local copy and all was fine. I then downloaded the file
from Lib 16, and it acted exactly as you described. I don't know what
happened. The sysops deleted it.
I'll upload it again in the morning and as soon as the sysops make it
public (I'll be sitting there waiting) I'll download it and test it.
Best,

First off, thanks for trying to fix the evident (and also lurking) bugs so
quickly. Do you have the compiler going 24 hours a day or what? I know that
you've been testing this thing "internally" for quite a while now, but nothing
makes dem buggies stand on their heads and spin around like a "general
release".
That initial download of 1.2D that I got (with the incorrect docs) was just
fine, if only I had left the params.whap file there. Actually, I just created
an empty file called "Aterm", and Whap! was ahppy enough with that to let me
get to the Edit Parameters business. All is well.
Also, and maybe this a A Good Thing in disguise, CIS has been rather epileptic
lately. If Whap! can handle CIS when it's ponderously slow and cantankerous,
then Whap!ping a "normal" CIS should be a pleasure!

Charles,
Yes, that will work. The corrected version is (again) in Lib 16.
If the 5 people or so who got the 'bad' version of 1.2D before it was
removed from Lib 16 are having problems, rather than redownload it, just stick
something in WHAP: colon called Aterm. It doesn't matter what it is, you can
rename it or delete it later.
Best,
