I have TOS 1.4 in my 1 meg 520ST, and I recently purchased "MAvis Beacon
Teaches Typing" because I'm a hunt-and-peck typist.  Anyway, it just won't
run... It creates an "initialized data disk," but when I try to run MAVIS.PRG,
it starts, draws half of the title screen, prints "compression messed up" a few
times (4?), and then croaks with a dialog that says "Fatal error 9006: Decode
Init: error reading DTable."  What I'd like to know is, has anyone on the net
successfully run Mavis on Rainbow TOS (1.4)?  I ran it in low rez without _any_
TSR or desk accessories...

					Thanks,  Steve
