 If you are an AM3000 owner with Metropolis/Alpha Base 7.2C with operating 
 system 1.4(189)-1 and are haveing trouble with applications like Super 
 Vue, TALKTO, AUTOLOG, Simpli File, Look and the like dying quick and 
 miserable deaths (i.e. Address error at @)*&^*&) lend an ear(((((((((.
 
 In the LITFIL account is a program called AFIXIT.LIT that will monitor 
 your system and wait for Alpha Base to KILL IT! It will then attempt to
 restore life to your system.
 
 It can be run in a background job or on any terminal.  Every 1 second it 
 checks to see if a special place in the monitor has been steped on and if 
 it has fixes it and reports the date & time and number of times that it 
 has performed such an opperation.  I have a system in Portland that would 
 die once every 3 weeks on the average, one in Boise that would die every 
 20min, another system in portland dies twice a day.
 
 Its not the perfect solution but it will save a System Reset!
 
 The system in Boise will almost certianly die if FUNCT 6-9,0 are 
 pressed.  I belive FLPCTL is having its way with the opperating system on 
 a regualr basis!!!!
 
 Have Fun!
