Just wondering, but why all the emphasis on resetting the calc's mem 
before running new versions of ASE?  You never really said anything 
about this is a few of the previous versions...

In reference to the previous post about certain games crashing after 
installing ASE after resetting, I recommend you try NOT resetting first.  
I've never reset my calc before installing new versions of ASE (I've 
always found the fact that not having to clear your mem to install a new 
shell was part of the novelty of the 86) and I've never had anything 
crash/work improperly on me yet.  Even Plain Jump and Drugwars.
