I seem to have found another bug which is related to the one I reported a couple of days ago. If I start up a program which closes the WBench before starting up ProWrite, then open the WBench, then start ProWrite there are problems which are not consistant. ProWrite will either crash as it is loading the document I selected (status 8000 0003) or start up with the ruler in some strange state. It's not consistent, but the ruler is always strange looking. The portion which should be showing inches may be ghosted looking without any markings or numbers, it may be a strange color with nothing showing but the icons for justification, tabs, etc. showing. Exiting ProWrite in when it is in this state causes the program to crash with status 8000 000b. Have any patch files been uploaded yet? I seem to remember someone mentioning that you were going to make patches available here on CIS. Peter

Peter, I can't seem to reproduce this new problem, but I'll keep trying. It will be fixed if it is a problem. Mark New Horizons Software, Inc.

I've seen the same thing happen as Peter regarding the strange ruler. It doesn't happen often, but I've seen it a few times. I thought maybe ProWrite wasn't getting along with AmiDock, but it happened with AmiDock disabled too. I restored everything from floppy and the problem hasn't come back so far. Roger
