Subject: Problems with Beebem 1.41

As a new member I'm not sure what it is appropriate to post, so I hope this
is OK.

I can't get into rickynet.net due to restrictions at my local library, so ...

(1) I get the following when hitting A-<break> to switch to ADFS :-

BEEBEM caused a divide error in module BEEBEM.EXE at 0157:004131ee.
Registers:
EAX=0007a120 CS=0157 EIP=004131ee EFLGS=00010246
EBX=00000000 SS=015f ESP=0071fb58 EBP=0071fb6c
ECX=0000feb1 DS=015f ESI=0000fe28 FS=0cef
EDX=00000000 ES=015f EDI=0016e360 GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:
f7 fb 99 81 e2 ff 00 00 00 03 c2 8a 15 00 a5 4a 
Stack dump:
0000fe28 0000fe00 00000000 00000000 80000000 0071fb88 00407fd4 8000fe00 00000080
0000be41 0000fe28 00000001 0071fb9c 00401138 0000fe28 00000080

This invariably occurs when A-<break> is the first thing I do (B or Master
mode) but also happens at other times when entering *ADFS.

(2) I cannot write to ANY(*) disk in Beebem 1.41!
In BBC B mode (DFS 2.26 / ADFS 1.3), or Master mode, with "write protect"
unticked I get "Disk Read Only" or "Disk protected" every time.
I've tried deleting everything and unzipping afresh.
Also deleting the registry entry.
All to no avail.
(*) Perversely if I create a new .adl disk I CAN write to it, even with "write
protect" ticked! But when I *MOUNT that same disk moments later it too cannot
be written to!
Convinced its my fault , but can't see how - unless the "file" dropdown is
out of step with what the program is actually looking at?

Neither of the above problems occurs on pcBBC demo or on Tom Seddon's Model
B emulator.

Machine is a Dell Optiplex GX110 PIII 533 MHz Win95 OSR2 - no sound card,
but no other oddities.

Any suggestions very welcome.
