This was the result of the uuencode that came with my Symmetrics...if
you didn't substitute them with spaces and the file unarc'ed ok, then
I am pretty sure your uudecode worked ok.

Actually, during that 3-4 seconds, the entire hard disk contents are
read into the program memory. I have no idea what would cause it to
garbage up and hang unless it is something to do with 1) the screen
codes on overseas systems being different (I use the vt52 esc codes a
lot in the program...and a few vdi calls for graphics and blitting) or
(and?) 2) the keyboard key values being different (I do a Bconin() and
use both the high and low words.) I logged into another unix system
and downloaded my post, uudecoded it, and unarced it the other day and
everything ran fine on both mono and color ST's...

I will look into the fabulous docs on the ST and see if I can find out
what the differences might be between US and overseas systems...

A note. If anyone else has problems with this or other programs people
post, you might want to include the system configuration, and any info
you might feel is pertinent (i.e. running big accessories, whether you
have had to bounce your system much lately to get it to work, etc) for
the authors' benefit...that way we can see if a pattern is developing.
