The Online Help file for COPS
- Selected icons don't look very nice because the icon mask
is missing in the CPX modules (Atari thought they would be
unnecessary?).
Alternative:
You can assign a (colour) icon in MagiC, MagiCMac or
MagiC-PC for each CPX module and start the control panels
from the desktop. See also "Configuration Examples" above.
- The AUTO folder application ALICE sometimes causes the
system to crash. If ALICE is installed and COPS (or other
programs such as FONTNAME or MAKEPRN) crash, you should
deactivate ALICE.
- If you are running an older TOS version then you should
close all modules before you start a new program or terminate a
program. For the technically-minded: An error in TOS prevents
COPS from being able to deallocate some structures, which in the
long run is a sure candidate for crashes.
Solution:
Use MagiC, MagiCMac or MagiC-PC!
- Clicking on a scroll arrow in the COPS window (running as
an accessory under TOS 3.06) doesn't do anything. This is a
well-known bug in TOS 3.06..
- If you have a Falcon and run TOS 4.01, you will see that
the size of the sliders in the COPS window is wrong. This is a
well-known bug in TOS 4.01.
- If you are running TOS 4.01 on your Falcon you shouldn't
attempt to open more than seven windows at the same time,
otherwise TOS destroys some internal structures without comment.

Solution:
Use MagiC 4 or 5 as operating system.
(**) It is not yet known whether this fault is restricted to TOS
version 4.xx!
