Dennis,

I wrote the initial code in Carbon for OS X and didn't experiment 
with it in PPC until Alain posted his modifications here. Since then 
I've fielded several inquires, all of which come from the Classic 
side where I have the least experience-- at least with this code.

First some questions:

1. Which version of FB are you using? (If it's an older version, try 
downloading the demo file from the Staz site and using it.)

2. Does the compiled app made with Build work okay?

3. What is the configuration of your system-- especially, how much 
RAM and, if you have virtual memory turned on, how much memory?

4. How much memory do you have allocated to FB? (if you have the RAM, 
try increasing it.)

A few things to try:

1. Delete the FB and Staz prefs from your System folder.

2. Try substituting this file header at the beginning of the code to 
be sure you have no array bound errors. (This works fine here in 
Classic, OS 9.2 launched from inside OS X.)

'         Make Line Start Table : Off
'                 Show Warnings : On
'~'B

3. Try deleting and reinstalling FB (including all files and the 
System folder prefs.)

Thanks for the report. I hope we can located the problem. Perhaps 
Alain or others here will have some additional suggestions.
