I have been using NewsHopper demo for a couple of months now, and it seems very crash prone. The crashes mainly occur when downloading articles, but have also happened several times whilst getting headers and once when reading news. The crashes produce a variety of effects; usually NewsHopper just freezes but sometimes I get a "Type 1 error". If I try try using other internet programs after a "Type 1 error" they work properly except they can't transfer any data. I have tried reinstalling NewsHopper 1.0.1 with earlier versions but the crashes still happen. I have also tried reintalling MacTCP and MacPPP. All of the above isn't as important as the fact that when the crash happens I LOSE any headers or articles I have just downloaded. They simply disappear from the datafile. When I open a datafile after such a crash it takes a lot longer than usual. I presume its going through the "Compact" or "Purge" function in the program, unfortunately it's deleting information I want. All help would be greatly appreciated as I have tried everything I can think of and it wouldn't be worth buying the full version if the same thing were to happen. Many thanks in advance. Mac LC II System 7.0.1 (Tuneup 1.1.1) NewsHopper demo 1.0.1, 1.0a, 1.0 MacTCP 2.0.6, 2.0.4 MacPPP 2.0.1 -- Chris Dabrowski - <chris@vader.demon.co.uk> - Ealing, London, UK PGP fingerprint = E1 A0 68 97 AC 8E 6C 46 AB B2 57 71 18 4D 53 EC
