    			Ascentia J Hang and Qaplus 5.29

    PROBLEM

    After pressing  to see the history log file under Qaplus 5.29 testing,
    the Ascentia J system may hang.

    CAUSE

    Since the same symptom can be observed on most existing notebooks and
    desktop computers, it is considered an issue of Qaplus 5.29.

    This problem does not occur using Qaplus 5.28.

    SOLUTION

    The failure happens only after pressing  which is trying to see the log
    "file" inside the module test.

    To prevent this failure, please read the log file from the main menu of
    Qaplus 5.29 or from DOS, or use Qaplus 5.28.
