- Yes, I've encountered that bug too.
- I've reported it to NCSA twice, but I think they don't work
- on DataScope any more because the new program NCSA Collage has most
- of NCSA Image's and NCSA DataScope and PalEdit's options.
- What's missing is DataScope's Notebook :-(((.
- My ``solutions'' are:
- - use an older version of DataScope (if you want the aboutbox/helpinfo),
- - don't select the About menuitem (ha-ha),
- - use SpyGlass Transform (commercial software),
- - use NCSA Collage (if you don't need the Notebook),
- - complain to NCSA and ask them to update DataScope (I would
- like to keep on using DataScope because it's compact/fast/nice/...).

- The bug occurs on ``all'' Macs.
- Good luck,
