- Potential problems with Dreamscape
- ====================================
-
- FilterManager
- -------------
- There can be problems with Toolbox programs if FilterManager version 0.09 is
- not loaded. Letting the Toolbox modules load this module when they need it
- can, on some occasions, cause the machine to crash with no error, freezing
- the pointer.
-
- The solution for this problem appears to be to make sure the module is loaded
- when the computer starts up, before any other programs register filters.
- Simply loading the new version of the module in an application's !Run file
- will not always help.
-
- I discovered this problem when testing the example programs on my A3010 with
- RISC OS 3.1. The example programs crashed the machine when loaded after a
- program called Filters was loaded, since Filters installs filters with
- FilterManager.
-
- RISC OS 3.5 has the new version of FilterManager in ROM, so this problem does
- not occur on newer machines.
