Actually, the rule that we broke did not exist when the 68000/68020 chips were out. We create and copy a jump table and then start to use it right away in memory. We have to execute a special instruction to clear the cache, which has now been integrated into the latest test software.

Um…..I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question:-). I havn't been reading all Innovatronics messages since I havn't been using my CanDo and havn't had problems with OPUS; untill lately that is. So if I'm in the wrong spot, just give me a shove:-). Anyway, this is probably real simple. Why do most of my IFF files now keep showing up as half a file with a dbl.click? I only get the left half of the file and it's on the right side of my screen. The only way I can view them is by do a right-button click on show, which I have set up as a ppshow button for PowerPacked files. Everything was fine, even after I set up that button. What happened? Any ideas how to change it? >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics) <<<<<

This is certainly the right place for this question, Skip. Please tell me which version of DOpus you are running. The latest released version is 3.41. I used to have similar problems with the 3.22 version, but not since. Anything special about the pictures you are showing now? – via Whap!

Martin, My version of OPUS is indeed V3.22 but whats doesn't make sense is that I had no problems previously, which is why I never upgraded. Also, the messages here indicated that some people where having problems with the upgrades so I figured that since I was very happy with what I had, why bother? Anyway, the pics were all standard low-res/hi-res/ham iff's. I DID have a few PowerPacked files and then packed a few of my own but then even unpacked files started showing only half a screen. The problem now is that ALL my iff's are gone……They were on my Syquest, which crashed last week:-(. It actually squeals and grinds…..So I have to send it down there for `failure analysis'. (no, I didn't back that one up:-(. everyone may now line up to take their kicks<g>) Hmmmm…..I just `un-lharc'ed' a few pics a happened to have and now they seem OK. Now I'm confused.(nothing new). I don't THINK I PowerPacked anything but a few files and would have known whichs ones I packed. Not to mention they all had the .pp extension. I'll get back to you….sorry. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics) <<<<<

Well, good luck with your system and let me know if I can help anymore. by the way, the problems people were having with the Opus upgrade was to version 3.40, not 3.41. 3.41 is, in my humble opinion, well worth the $7.50 charged for it! Later. – via Whap!

Martin, I just D/L'd a file from another service and it did the same thing. I only un-arc'ed it. It was a HAM file and according to the header in the file was processed with the Art Dept. and had a line in it saying IFF3.0.1….. So maybe I'll just call for the upgrade. I still don't understand why it started this after not giving me trouble all this time. Unless the files have been changing lately. >>>>>Skip (SKP Graphics) <<<<<
