    I have a legacy Amiga application "Batch Factory". It is a Batch Processer and Arexx front end.
    It is in its initial use and has a problem. A "SCRIPT SELECTION WINDOW will open and prompt you to choose the desired script. This window flashes in a milisecond and disapears? The program freezes the mouse and a reboot is needed. Will Snoopium tell me what is happening? Is there a HOW TO for Snoopium

    Clue1? By removing the ASSIGN in the user start-up the 'Script Selection Window " reappeared but was not reading from the hard drive...the lined template for choosing a file was there with no choices?

    Clue2? Seems like a conflict of the old application tieing into the MorphOS DOS Guessing?

    Clue3? It seems a problem of the file requester? The appliction can read and show the directories devices and assigns

    Probably not. Snoopium could tell if there is resource missing but I dont think that is the cause.

    You could try to catch debug log and dump it here. It could give an idea where it is crashing and if it is possible solve somehow.

    Unfortunately not. It would be very helpful to have one but I am lazy writer and it would need proofreading by someone speaking English natively. Docs from SnoopDos could help a lot (Snoopium is continued from SnoopDos) but using SnoopDos docs would not be fair use I think...
