Ben: I just got IM R/t, and my PI modules don't seem to work! The list of available modules appears, and I can select it, but nothing happens after that – I just return to the main menu (or whichever menu was active at the time.) Initially, I mistakenly installed it into my 'Work:Graphics/ImageMaster' directory. I then re-installed it into 'Work:ImageMaster' as your instructions request. While many other parts seem to work, something seems to have happened to my PI loaders/savers/etc.?!? Any suggestions? Thanks, Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom

Yep – call (800) 852-6442 and get the free maintainance upgrade. They're fixed in 1.02. Sorry about that. –Ben …via AutoPilot

Ben, PMFJI, but do those of us in the UK have to call BBS to get the upgrade, or is there any way you could arrange it via CIS. If we do have to call, do you know what time in the UK we should call? Bob Bolton

You can write, which is less expensive than calling, or you can call. The number to call would be (406) 367-5513. Our time zone is "Mountain Standard Time" which is 2 hours later than East Coast US time, which, in turn, is about 5 hours from UK time. So it looks like about 7 hours to me. :^) So… 9am is 4pm for you, so a call anywhere from 5pm to midnite your time should catch the sales people ready to take orders. FYI, the US is divided into four time zones, mainly. East coast, as I mentioned is 5 hours off from you; west coast is 8 hours off. In between are Mountain and Central time zones, central is next to East Coast (1 hour later) and mountain is next to the west coast (2 hours later than east coast). EST – Eastern Standard Time CST – Central Standard Time MST – Mountain Standard Time PST – Pacific Standard Time You might want to keep this around for any future dealings you might have with US companies. Or, consult an encyclopedia, which will contain the info you need (at least, mine does :^) –Ben …via AutoPilot

No problem. Thanks! BTW, I tried your 'build catalog' feature, and it crashed!?! I started building a catalog of my 3D:images directory, it loaded a number of images, and then I got a message saying 'unable to allocate undo buffer'. About 1.5 images later, the machine rebooted. BTW, is there someway to get it to exclude the Icon files in all my image directories? (Many of my directories have .info files, and they don't need to be in the catalog.) Thanks again!

Eric, re the crash of the build catalog, we've run it quite bit here and seen no crashes… was the image it crashed on very large? Or weird in some way? I have no reports of the build catalog crashing till yours, just now. I'd appreciate a report of how many files in the dir, anything at all that might help us get a handle on the problem. Redirecting DIR and LIST to temp files might help us: cd ram: dir >txz1 imageplace list >txz2 imageplace lz a forben txz* forben.lzh—>email :^) Re the info files… info files are loadable images, to IM R/t. So it catalogs them. To exclude them, you'd have to (temporarily) remove them from the directory: makedir work:icontemp cd imageplace copy #?.info work:icontemp delete #?.info ….(make catalog in IM R/t) copy work:icontemp/#? "imageplace" delete work:icontemp all –Ben …via AutoPilot
