- I may be getting in this a little late, but I am working on a project that uses
- a multimedia program Authorware. The machine we use crashes ALL the time when
- using it,(iisi, 7.0.1 tuned-up) and it happens mostly when doing file I/O.
- Just thought Id throw that in. Maybe Authorware can do something about it (and
- maybe a lot of other things that would make it MUCH nicer to work with,
- too.:))

- My $.02.
