long:

I've just recently discovered a serious bug in v40 (OS 3.1) of 
amigaguide.datatype.

There are 2 amigaguide files in this archive that will cause various problems on
an amiga with v40 of amigaguide.datatype.  One simply hangs my computer.  The
other causes severe memory corruption. v39 seems to have no trouble with them.

I'm only releasing these files so hopefully someone at Amiga Technologies -
ESCOM takes note and fixes these bugs.

The bugs have to do with a confusing line in the documents.  v39 apparently
deals with these confusing lines by recognizing they are invalid and ignoring
what it can't deal with.  v40 seems to break the entire system.

IF you look at these amigaguide files make sure you aren't doing anything
important.  They will crash your machine.  If you aren't using v40 you are
probably safe although I can't guarantee anything.

It is a pity that v40 has this bug because v40 is faster than v39, has more
features and is otherwise nicer. 

Wish List:

    1: I hope ESCOM fixes this bug! PLEASE PLEASE

    2: Amigaguide should go back to making link buttons the size they USED to
       be in v39.  v40 links are 1/2 a character narrower.  Making it impossible
       to line up rows of links with text or each other sometimes.
       
       The v39 links are wider but at least are a whole number of characters 
       wide, in v40 every link is x.5 characters wide. (where x is the number of
       characters in a link name).  This is terrible!  If you try to line up a
       row with 3 links to a row with 2 links and try to line up the links 
       within the row.  You CAN'T!
