FRED2 crashes without an error message (Norton Crashguard warning)

Ships.tbl is 288kB, the pof file works fine ifI specify it for another tbl entry.

It must be something to do with this entry - it is the only thing I cna think of

Try to remove an entry and use the above one in place. But make sure that the numbers associated with the XSTR entries are the same as the ones of the entry you replace - just to be safe. I don't have a clue what those do, actually.

If that doesn't work, try working from a copied entry. Change things step-by-step until something doesn't work. Standard trouble-shooting procedure.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.
