Hi!

I don't know if this happens on every single PC w/ Windows 98, but please
check it!
I wrote this little program:

ORIGIN '~beta/basiclib/betaenv';
--- program: descriptor --

(#
	t:^text;
	do
	'BETA CRASH'->t.append;
#)

Of course this program gives a runtime error (that's what I intended), BUT

- when I launch from a local drive, e.g. drive C I get a "BETA execution
aborted" and a dump
- when I launch from a network drive (Windows network), I get an application
fault (this pretty standard Windows dialog with the pretty red circle with a
white cross :-)

Could you please check that?
This way (2nd one) I don't get any dump!

Regards,
Sascha Kimmel
