I've narrowed it down even further: I have discovered that OvPro doesn't like printing Selwyn characters, but only if they are top-bit-set-Selwyn characters. It will print Homerton Top bit set characters. It will print Selwyn characters with top-bit-unset. Hmmm - even stranger. Stranger still, Tech Writer (when printing top-bit-set-Selwyn characters) doesn't crash the whole Iyonix, it just politely says there's an error, and lets you get on with using the computer, which OvPro fails to let you do: you have to re-boot! I think it time to take this elsewhere: Archive-on-Line, as the error doesn't seem to be restricted to OvPro (although OvPro does crash irretrievably, whilst other programs don't). Stranger still: it didn't used to be like this: my Iyonix would happily print top-bit-set-Selwyn characters last year. -- Cheers Roger Yesterday never goes.
