Here is something that worries me and I suspect that it suggests a bug in the processor 486SLC of my TP 700. As I am not entirely certain if I do everything correct, I would appreciate your advice. Facts: 1. It says "illegal function call in the module JPSTPHN at address 05BD:0598" and terminates the program. (JPSTPHN is a lovely program to simulate eclipse phenomena in the system of Galilean Jupiter's satellites that I downloaded from the Internet.) Now, the problem is that the same program runs very well on a desktop IBM PS/2 57 SX that I have an access to. 2. It locks up when running another program right at the start. The program runs without any problem on the mentioned desktop. 3. In a demo of DERIVE (software for symbolic computations) displays distorted highlighted boxes and scrambles slightly a text within those boxes. Also, it happened to terminate the demo saying "Error!Return with no preceding call" but it did only once, I could not make it repeat this, so it looks like it sometimes acts sort of randomly. No problem with this on the desktop. 4. It has graphics problems with yet another program, leaving a trail of lines when the program is finished. The lines disappear after the screen is scrolled down. Nothing like that shows up on the desktop. It definitely has graphics problems but it does run a number of other programs very well including those that use graphics extensively, which leaves me baffled. I would greatly appreciate your opinion about this. I have no documentation about this machine as I bought it used, without any manuals. I am trying to get ones. TIA. Waldemar
