Problems with specific applications
-----------------------------------
Crashes on 060 systems should no longer appear - if the library crashes
on specific modules at startup-time, please trace it back with SnoopDOS,
delete that specific modules, and contact me for a bug-report.
Minor problems:
o The combination superview.library / PMPro
and MCP with active NEWTOOLTYPES patch did cause crashing the library
at startup time. So don't use that patch...
There seem to be more options in MCP, which may become 'critical'...
Whenever you encounter any problems: first try it again without
any patches running !
o Do no mix libraries from Picasso96 and CyberGraphX - when again
switching from P96 to CGfx with Picasso96API.library still being
in LIBS: then your system will immediately crash with the next
opening of that library.
Here's a list of several programs, which either cause SuperView-Library
to crash, or which may crash or fail unexpected (so that it might seem,
as if SuperView-Library did crash or were the reason of the fault):
o Mixed Picasso96 and CyberGfx environment
========================================
Problem
-------
Picasso96 users, which have the Picasso96.svdriver installed
(that's default, unless you "exclude" it via SVPrefs or
delete it), and do switch between P96 and CyberGfx, should
not the following: without removing Picasso96API.library
from Libs: when CyberGfx is running, any program that
tries to open Picasso96API.library will make it crashing
(since that library tries to create another, emulated
instance of cybergraphics.library, which must fail).
Solution
--------
Either
- delete/exclude Picasso96.svdriver
- move all libraries, not only the monitor drivers,
when switching between P96 and CyberGfx
- wait for a bugfix (Tobias Abt and Frank Mariak
both have been informed)
o EGS libraries V6 and V7 © VIONA Development
===========================================
Problem
-------
When flushing the EGS libraries, it seems that the libraries will
cause recoverable alerts with OS 3.x.
Maybe on some systems real crashes will occur.
Don't know, whether the libraries are really the source,
but it's likely.
Solution
--------
Don't flush ;-)
o DOpus5 (supposed to be fixed with Magellan release)
===================================================
Problem
-------
Not a serious problem. DOpus5 does not seem to figure the correct
version numbers from sv library files, when requested to do so.
Solution
--------
C:Version libraryname
o LX/020 1.03 © 1993 Xenomiga Technologie (Jonathan Forbes)
=========================================================
Problem
-------
Obviously can't correctly extract large LZH/LHA archives.
o NewMode V3.3 (and below) © 1992-95 by Andreas Linnemann
=========================================================
Problem
-------
Has been reported to cause serious problems when running together
with e.g. SuperView (when attaching a fixed ViewMode to the program).
Solution
--------
Already fixed for newer versions.
I, personally, would strongly recommend not to promote any SuperView
Screens via NewMode, since now for almost any configuration there
should be suitable SVDrivers - alternatively also a RTG-configuration
for AGA.svdriver.
o VMM (supposed to be fixed)
==========================
Former versions of SuperView-Library did allocate all buffers
with the MEMF_PUBLIC flag set, which prevented e.g. VMM
from storing these as virtual memory on disk.
As with current versions, the large image buffers - where
it makes sense - are no longer prevented from being accessing
by VMM. MEMF_PUBLIC no longer is set for these.
Before - and with old modules - this could have been by-passed
by setting the 10240 flag value within VMM's advanced options
- but this should not be done any longer, since it may become
dangerous under certain circumstances.
o SnoopDOS
========
Problem
-------
Some external libraries (being opened by SV modules) seem not
to be snoop'able without causing crashes, then.
Solution
--------
Turn off SnoopDOS.
