- Part of finding the solution was reading the manual... but the initial
- goal was to find the conflicting program. The debugging phase is always
- to first remove the conflict entirely, get the new program working, and
- then work on getting the two running together. One problem at a time!
-
- Anyways, I have Executive running again and found another point of
- interest. Running Shapeshifter without Executive exhibits a problem
- switching screens. I use CTRL-TAB to disable input on the Shapeshifter
- screen and Amiga-N to switch to the Workbench screen. As soon as I
- click on a window, the machine locks up 100% of the time. Running
- Executive eliminates (displaces?) this problem!
-
- I suspect I have yet another conflict to locate and correct.
