Hi Bernhard,

Thanks for your email. The problem with GetTempName
was an invalid index trap. The trap window shows that
i = -1, (also n = -1, I think) and name = something
like "99999999999951423". The WHILE n # 0 loop is not
stopping until the i index is too small. n comes from
tempno which is set by GetTickCount which may be returning
a large unsigned value that is a negative signed value?
This is just a guess. I fixed this problem by making it
WHILE (n # 0) & (i > 11).

I'm very puzzled why my clock doesn't advance. This is
on Windows XP at work which I rarely use, but there are
some Windows users who would like to use some of my Oberon
software and of course I want to accomodate them. The
application runs just fine but I want to be sure there
aren't some problems that will show up unexpectedly.

I also can't use news at work. Next week I'll check to
see what version Oberon displays.

-Greg
