Voyager crashes *all* the time for me, at least in its v3.1 and v3.2 installations
- even after I deleted the old Voyager drawer so that cannot be cache problem.
So until a new stable release is made, I don't know. :(

No, I mean Workbench. :) I tried a wait command but that did little to solve
anything. :( I have downloaded the latest stuff from Ateo themselves which
may be better than what I have got...

WarUp - is that a new War machine kernel? ;)
WarBegin(IORequest,Fire,Destroy); :))
It shouldn't have been, though I shall check the datatypes; I haven't installed
any PPC datatypes yet. Are the AK ones the only PPC datatypes?

That may well be a great idea, but one question, what's the address to subscribe
to the PPC mailing list? :))

Ahhh, okay, I shall try that - my Dad should have plenty of washers being a
mechanic.... :))
All the best,
Nick.
