I have had no crashing problems with Vanessa Chess 1.5 on either my machine
( 7300/180, 80 Mb physical ram OS 8.5. ) or my wife's machine
( G3/350 "blue and white", 128 Mb physical RAM, OS 8.6). The only problem
I have had is accessing the help files in System Folder: Help: Vanessa Chess 1.5
from the "Help" menu in Vanessa Chess - it doesn't work for me on my machine.
Works fine on my wife's machine, or if I open the help files using Netscape.
I've tried deinstall/reinstall, moving the help files around - no luck.
Maybe it's an init/cdev conflict?
