Ashley,

If I understand your most recent post, and the images flash up really fast,
this sounds greatly like a problem I had recently where I had dimmed a
Tickcount storage variable as an INT instead of a LONG. What made it harder
for me to debug, is that it would work in PPC, but not 68K.

What would happen is that in PPC, the int variable would get put into a
register as a long, so it was fine. But in 68K, no register variables, so
still an integer.

Check for that as Jay mentions.
