For several years I USED C*A*T from Chang Labs, and for what it does,
there is nothing on the Mac market like it!

There are several reasons that I left the C*A*T game...
1) NO UPDATES in over 2 years!
2) Articles in MacWeek (approx Summer of 1991) that Chang went Ch 6 or 11...
3) Personal inside knowledge that the company dropped in staffing to only 6...

BUT!!!!

On the GOOD side!!
Chang has just announced an UPDATE!!!!
MacWeek 11.02.92, pg 131
UpGrades are $139... a little high, but when you look at it, and think,
you are paying the 2-3 yrs of NO UPDATES!!!!

I am not flaming Chang, but they dropped of the face of the earth for
awhile...

Frank:
  Your question about how to speed-up DTP operations on your ci has
no simple answer. It depends on your budget. The addition of a cache
card will give you a slight speed bump. The purchase of a Quadra will
speed things up by a factor of, perhaps, 2.5. The middle-road, if 
you're looking for the most value in your investment, would be the
addition of a Daystar 50Mz Universal Powercache. At about $1300 (for
the unit with the FPU, which, btw, I do recommend), you will get
about twice the speed as your current set-up. I have noticed that
screen redraws (my pet-peeve with PageMaker) are now almost painless.
This will be true especially if you use postscript fonts at odd text
sizes (like 11, 13, etc) - Adobe Type Manager's performance is
noticeably improved by doubling the processor speed.
 
  For my money, I'd go with the cpu accelerator. If you were working
with a lot of 24-bit color images, an accelerated graphics card might
boost performance more noticeably. But since it seems you are looking
for general improvement in PageMaker operation, I'd go with the Daystar.
Daystar has an upgrade path available, so when they release their 33Mz
'040 Powercache in December, you can trade in your old card at full
value toward the improved version.

Good luck.

Subject: Problem with emptying trash

I recently upgraded my IIsi to 9 megs of ram by installing 4 two meg
SIMMS (80 ns). I'm also running system 7.1. The problem is that every
once in a while I try to empty the trash and it tells me that I don't
have enough memory to do so. It also tells me that quitting applications
and closing windows might help, but it never does even when I quit
everything and close all windows... The only solution I know of is to
restart the computer and then empty the trash... Anyone have any
suggestions?

Hi there,

I've encountered something strange with my Stuffit Lite (registered? yes!).
I do not know if really is in SL or somewhere else however it is only
visible
with SL.

This week I changed computers (IIfx->Q700) which is quite a chore wilth
aliases, INITs, cdevs and so on. 1 days work!
The new machine has a new name and a new disk-name as well (naturally). So
get to the point...

Strange 1: When I ran SL for the first time it the launchin was interrupted
by two
AppleShare logon dialog boxes with my old disk name filled in! I dismissed
this dialog box but up comes another one (same wording). The program runs
fine
after this. No problems at all.
Strange 2: Next launch of SL is the same, and next time...
Strange 3: I replaced the settings file. No change, same useless AppleShare
logon dialogs to a disk that does not exist anymore.
Strange 4: I deleted SL and reinstalled it. NO CHANGE! I can't get rid of
these dialog boxes.

Tips, comments, experiences??

P.S 7.01 with TU 1.1.1, a bunch of inits, 20M

Have a good day!

Sorry, Scott; no such beastie...

From the manual:

"In addition, items compressed internally do not require AutoDoubler to 
run." (p.33)

From what I can see, there are no 'options' what-so-ever in AIC; you just 
choose the files you want internally compressed and hit the compress 
button.

The only caveats I can see are that some files cannot be compressed (AIC 
warns you and gives a reasonable explanation of why not) and some files 
that have been internally compressed by something other than AIC may be 
fully expanded if you try expanding them. The latter suggests that AIC's 
decompress routines also handle other (Apple's?) resource compression 
algorithms.

The reports of crashes sound more like an extension conflict or perhaps 
problems with memory (heap space?) or the hard drive... I've had no 
problems and run tons of extensions/control panels. Of course, that 
really means next to nothing, as no two people are likely to have the 
same configuration...

Good luck (and thanks to Salient/FGS for their input on these
discussions!)

Organization: John Leslie Consulting, Milford NH

I'm wondering if anyone else had this problem...I've had GateKeeper 1.26 on
my IIci for a while now, and it's been pretty quiet.  However, after I installed
the CopyDoubler demo control panel, it flipped.  When I booted up it gave me
a dozen warnings (it stopped giving me individual dialogs after 3 and just said
"For purposes of brevity" that the rest of the errors could be found in the
log).  They were all very similar and said something like "Extension X 
violated the Res(Self) privilege" by modifying one of its INIT codes.  Later,
I copied a large (18 meg) folder using CopyDoubler and every application
gave GateKeeper trouble - after the copy was done, GateKeeper said that all
these files had violated some privilege by changing their type from " " to
"APPL" (which actually makes some sense).

Incidentally GateKeeper said that the INIT errors were "very suspicious".

Is this really CD or do I have a virus?  I didn't install anything else
new except CD (in the System Folder) and an application off Sumex which I 
figured would be safe...

Thanks for any comments.

Hmm.  This is interesting.  I tried running an AIC-compressed
application (FullWrite 1.5s, if you must know) on two different machines
that didn't have Autodoubler, and it failed and/or crashed on both of
them.  The application had been compressed on a PB100, and I tried
running it on a PB170 running 7.0 and a MacII running 6.0.4.

Really?  I don't have the manual here, but I distinctly remember it
saying that AIC-compressed applications didn't need Autodoubler to be
installed in order to run.

In an effort to clean up my hard drive (210MB) I decided to SpeedDisk it.
Booting off a floppy, I ran SpeedDisk, and left it running to take a nap.
I woke up because my state of consciousness is linked very directly to my

to wake me up, but surprisingly not enough to turn the computer all the way
off...just enough to hurt it.  I peered at the computer and found a message
that it hit an error and would be stopping.  On trying to restart it, after
verifying the files, it tells me that something or other has its entries
out of order, and that my files are safe, and it will be stopping now.
And it does.
Disk First Aid 7.1 recognizes a problem, but won't fix it.
Norton Disk Doctor doesn't even recognize a problem.
However, every time I shutdown now, FileSaver tells me that it has an error
writing its info.

Help?

I'm a little nervous.  I pat my computer now and then and tell it that it's
good, because I'm afraid it's going to have a nervous breakdown soon.
