I'm having some problems with the University of Utah Dump program and
dump-bugs@jensen.utah.edu doesn't seem to be responding to my bug reports
(I emailed them 3 weeks ago).  Has anyone else experienced the following
problems and found fixes for them?


1.	Crashes on a Quadra 700

Dump doesn't appear to run on a Quadra.  When we start the dump process
from the Unix machine (a Sparc), the whole process appears to hang.  We get
no response at all from the Sparc.  The Quadra appears to hang as well and
will accept no keyboard or mouse inputs.  The only way out is Control-C on
the Sparc and OPT-CMD-ESC on the Quadra.


2.	Can't restore large files

I have a problem restoring an 8 Mbyte file from backup.  A small part (355
bytes) of the file is restored and then I get the following error message
on my Mac:

        An error has occurred in the DUMP program: Unknown
        MacBackBuffer type:52656365



Also, has anyone gotten hold of the source code and made bug fixes, 
modifications, or enhancements to it?  It's basically a good concept, but I
think it needs some more work.  I'm starting to work on it myself, but I'm
a beginning Mac programmer.  At the very least, has anyone heard if they'll
be putting out a new release anytime soon?


     Thanks,
