I've had MetaStock v6.52 EOD crash on me, although I can't remember the last time.
;^)  I could look it up in my FAULTLOG.TXT file.

This is why you never use software, including O/S's, when they are initially
released.  With MS Windows, you must wait until they release their Service Release.
Apparently, MS thinks they are doing us a favor by putting their SR's on the web
when they release buggy O/S's too soon.
