- We just had a similar problem with the program apparently unable to
- recognise the end of file. In this case things work fine on our
- development machine, but our enduser is a "cutting edge of technology"
- man with excessive amounts of RAM, System 7, and other things we don't
- use for development. I'm afraid this doesn't help, but then we have no
- leads either.

- What I've come to expect - admittedly in Australia the distibutors are
- a more direct problem than Blyth, which is somewhat remote from us.
