- PPage will work fine with a kickfile. However, Gold Disk is aware of problems
- with PPage crashing under the 2.04 ROMS, and especially with systems using
- 2.04 ROMS _AND_ an accelerator. Although I haven't had crashes while loading
- files, I have almost always had them upon exiting. I simply exit PPage with
- a reboot. As I said, Gold Disk is aware of some problems, and is currently
- working on fixing them, after which all registered users will receive an
- updated version in the mail. Since Gold Disk might not have encountered your
- problem, either call or write them, so they can be sure to have it fixed in
- the next release.
