We solved that problem here by hacking up Broadcast 1.0 and making a
"receive only" version. It is used now only for an occasional "System
going down for maintenance" sort of message. We'd be lost without it.
It has crashed me a few times in certain applications, but we get no
complaints at all from our users. So we're quite satisfied with it and
have even payed the shareware fee.
