Opus 1.14 works just fine.

 GT>    There's a utility for PCs from Sam Smith called DTEST. It runs thru 
 GT> a disk sector by sector and displays a message if either a sector is 
 GT> bad or simply "slow" (sectors which read properly but require retries). 
 GT> The author explains these "slow" sectors are more likely to fail than 
 GT> other sectors. That could be what you're experiencing.
 GT>    Look for DTST20.ZIP at a site near you. If you don't find it, give a 
 GT> hollar and I'll see about emailing it to you.

Thanks, George. I have DTST16 which I thought I had used successfully on
the  RB some time ago. But when trying it recently, I found it
wouldn't run. I'll  see if I can find the most recent version
and give it a try.

Yep, sure am:-).
 
Been trying to call your voice number and can't get an answer.  Since
you gave your address and indicated that you wanted the printer
I have sent it to you UPS COD.
 
Hope this was OK, if not just refuse the shipment and it will be returned.
 
Later...

   Did you look thru the source to see what was causing the problem?
Maybe simply compiling it with a different compiler will do the trick.

   If not let me know.
