I changed the subject title to give it one that's more related to what follows, IMO, of course! Shuck crashes on my system too. I noticed that it consumes a lot of CPU cycles, even when it is in the background, and another program is in the foreground but idle (checked this through running the Monitor app). The only other programs that grab more cycles, here, are Finder and MS Mail. Is there a particular reason for this behaviour, and is this related to its tendency to crash? BTW, I'm using Shuck 1.0. Best regards, Ramesh _______________________________________________________________________________ I would like to see Shuck crash less. Am I atypical in having it lock up my machine so frequently? The lookup command, in particular, has never worked without blowing up. It seems to be markedly less reliable with longer files (like perlfunc). -nat ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
