2031.0. "AMnews vol 1 issue 2 bug" by GLDOA::STOUGHTON (INSTALLS-R-US) Wed Dec 21 1988 13:22

     If you have an Amiga 500 with 512K trying to run Yahzee from Amnews
    you might have a open custom screen error.
    
     I used w.b. 1.2 booted it and double clicked on yahzee! icon. upon
    getting the chillwear screen. I double clicked again and got an
    error of can't open custom screen.
    
    I called AMnews and they said it works, but will send another copy.
    The second copy did the same thing. 
    
    I went to the local computer store and we set up with about 40000
    blocks free (about what mine has) the error came up.
    
    We then proceeded to modify the start up sequence of my workbench.
    (I had a full copy). The copy had 10k add buffers set up. We reduced
    this number to 5. also since I don't have internal clock we deleted
    that also.
    
    It now works. So if you get the problem, now you have the fix.
    
    
     Notes of interest: AMnews will have the piano player in there next
    issue.
    
    They have gotten a Sonix license so the music will get better!
    
                                            happy holidays
