A bug report: If you havn't already noticed, the new printer drivers in the
September Software supplement have big bombs and bugs. It will bomb as
soon as you try to print from draft mode starting on page 2. Watch out, or
better yet, throw it away altogether.
The latest supplement describes "programmer alerts" in the system error handler.
Has anyone ever seen a bomb quite like they show on the page complete with
human readable error message and register dump? Unfortunately, I threw away
my copy of the Turkey day finder (1983) which might have had it. It is certainly
not in the the 1.1g, 1.0, or old 1.0(guided tour) version of the system.
Use FEDIT, or REDIT on the Lisa to examine the INIT resources 1 and 2 in
the system.
Has anyone experimented with alternate bombs. Something really cute and whitty?
