- Selected icons don't look very nice because the icon mask is
missing in the CPX modules (Atari thought they would be unnecessary?).
Alternative:
You can assign a (colour) icon in MagiC, MagiCMac or MagiC-PC for each
CPX module and start the control panels from the desktop. See also
"Configuration Examples" above.
- The AUTO folder application ALICE sometimes causes the system to
crash. If ALICE is installed and COPS (or other programs such as
FONTNAME or MAKEPRN) crash, you should deactivate ALICE.
- If you are running an older TOS version then you should close all
modules before you start a new program or terminate a program.
For the technically-minded: An error in TOS prevents COPS from being
able to deallocate some structures, which in the long run is a sure
candidate for crashes.
Solution:
Use MagiC, MagiCMac or MagiC-PC!
- Clicking on a scroll arrow in the COPS window (running as an
accessory under TOS 3.06) doesn't do anything. This is a well-known
bug in TOS 3.06..
- If you have a Falcon and run TOS 4.01, you will see that the size
of the sliders in the COPS window is wrong. This is a well-known bug
in TOS 4.01.
- If you are running TOS 4.01 on your Falcon you shouldn't attempt
to open more than seven windows at the same time, otherwise TOS
destroys some internal structures without comment. (**)
Solution:
Use MagiC as operating system.
(**) It is not yet known whether this fault is restricted to TOS
version 4.xx!
