Hi, I've just subscribed to this list so this is partly a test message to see if things are working.
Also, I've been investigating bug #1729711: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1729711&group_id=51719&atid=464312 It seems that the status bar was being updated so frequently that when gui_multitask was called during a fetch, Wimp_Poll always returned immediately with a Wimp redraw window event, hence never yielding to other applications. My fix / quick hack, is to limit the frequency with with Wimp_ForceRedraw can be called on the status bar. I don't know the procedure for submitting changes to the repository, so I'll post it here: In file riscos.gui.status_bar/c : function ro_gui_status_bar_set_text : Replace these lines: if (sb->visible) xwimp_force_redraw(sb->w, 0, 0, sb->width - WIDGET_WIDTH, 65536); With these: if (sb->visible) { static clock_t last = 0; if (clock() > last + 50) { xwimp_force_redraw(sb->w, 0, 0, sb->width - WIDGET_WIDTH, 65536); last = clock(); } } I've replaced tabs with spaces to make this read better. -- Rik Griffin Software Engineer, Denbridge Marine Ltd Registered in England and Wales at DSG, 43 Castle St, Liverpool.
