>Is there such a thing as a DA called Monkey ? Yes. > Someone mentioned it to >me as something that would use an application and attempt to crash it. >I'd be interested in more information; does it exist, what does do, >where can I get it, etc, etc. It's a *very old* DA; I'm not sure if it will work with recent systems. It generates random events (like a monkey typing on the keyboard..., hence the name). The idea is to see how long your program runs before it crashes (usually due to poor memory management or using an invalid pointer). >Thanks. You're welcome. -Ted
