Hi again,

maybe the reason for this problem is the ´EPD Kit´!?

I remember that your _very first_ version of 19.07 _did_ work, but you said,
that you couldn´t solve EPD files with it and so you compiled it again with
a new command (something for EPD, I don´t remember exactly) -
and since this time the problems occured!

Also the compilations of some other people here work, but they don´t show
this message "EPD Kit revision date: 1996.04.21" at Crafty start,
so there might probably be something wrong with this EPD Kit.
(Although of course it would be nice to still have this EPD functionality)

I hope this may help to find the error.

Best regards,
Franz.
