I fetched oAESis v0.76, but for some reason the unpacked executable was bad.
I'll give 0.74 a try soon.

I've spent a few hours on XaAES beta7 now and I must say this version feels
far less stable than beta5 (the last one I worked extensively on).

I'll try to look into this.

I'll be uploading a new executable to the XaAES directory on my ftp site
in a few minutes. For some strange reason the appl_init() macro at the
start of BOOTUP.C was completely wrong, which might well account for your
crashes. A couple of possible NULL dereferences I ran into are also fixed.

The executable is compiled to emit diagnostics, which will normally slow
things down a lot. However, I also added a way to turn those off in the
XAAES.CNF file, by using 'DEBUG OFF' (normally there should be a file name).
Live scrolling has stopped working, and I have no idea why...
Also, thanks to some disagreement with my current Lattice C libraries,
the file selector won't work (opendir etc not available).

If anyone tries this version, please let me know how it works.
