Ursula, I'd like to clarify that Gnucleus 1.8.3 does crash occasionally (it crashed three times yesterday), but I no longer get the Visual C++ exception dialog on startup.

Luckily, I still have a zipped up version of the 1.8.2 replacement files, so I'll probably re-downgrade again if the Gnucleus guys don't get a new version out soon.

It may be prudent not to get versions that don't have full installers. 1.74 and 1.7.5 worked fine, 1.7.7 crashed occasionally, 1.8.2 worked fine, and now 1.8.3 crashes occasionally. It may not be coinincidental that versions without installers are, to put it mildly, less than stable.
