In scrolling through a frame document that I just loaded frame CRASHED,
completely leaving the desktop and losing all the changes I made. The error
message was as follows.
Yes master... > attach: /afs/athena.mit.edu/software/frame_v4.0 linked to /mit/frame_v4.0 for filesystem frame_v4.0
starting maker ...
maker: Using /mit/frame_v4.0/distrib/sun4m_53/fminit
maker: Starting FrameMaker 4. Copyright (c) 1986-1994 Frame Technology Corp.
maker: Finished loading
DPS/X Error: Extension has not been initialized.
The position in the document was consistant with Frame's need to display an eps
file which explains the DPS/X error. Running Frame again on the SAME file and
scrolling through the entire document including the eps include files produced
no error. This is quite annoying since frame crashes at random times losing
EVERYTHING!!!!
