--> >       Gatekeeper 1.2.6
        I use this to catch viruses and monitor activity. It seems to do
OK, but there is no available facility for repairing infected files. (The
maker of Gatekeeper suggests using Gatekeeper and Disinfectant in
conjunction.)


I used to run Gatekeeper on sys 6.0.7, but since upgrading to 7.1 Gatekeeper
will not load properly on my computer. Has anyone else had this problem?
Disinfectant still works though...

What happens when you take the TuneUp Extension out; does the problem go
away?  I suspect that this is merely a coincidence.  Check to be sure that
the printer driver and/or the folder in which it resides are unlocked ('Get
Info' on the item and be sure the 'Locked' checkbox is unchecked).  The
system needs to be able to write to the driver and create a temporary spool
file for printing.  If it can't do either, you'll get an error.

Since it goes to another 'disk' to look for a system folder, couldn't you make a hard partition on your HD and have system folders on both of them?  Have your primary drive designated as the start-up drive, and make
the partition big enough to hold the other system as well as a couple of utils
or whatever.  This would only work if the original system file became
corrupted, but if the HD itself died, your SOL.

William,

Hi, I was always under the impression that "font substitution" meant
that when printing to laser writers and postscript files, certain fonts
(like Times) were substituted for certain other "Mac specific" fonts
that were optimized for display/imagewriter use. (like New York) If you
don't want this substitution to take place, uncheck the substitution
option in the print preferences/setup. I might be wrong, though, since
I've never read the manual! :-)

I am having a problem with Norton utilities 2.02 and my PB180 4/120,
running System 7.1.
When I run disk doctor the computer freezes up when it is mid way through
"Analyzing Files".  It  seems to be in the middle of the system folder 
when this happens.  All of the usual attempts at a fix have no effect 
(restart with extensions off, reinstall the system, etc...).  MY INITS and CDEVS
are pretty standard.  When it freezes the PB attempts to put up a dialoge box,
but usually does not succeed in getting far enough to write any 
text to it.  Symantic/Norton customer support has not been able to 
solve the problem yet.

To complicate matters, I have made a system 7.1 NU Emergency Disk
and have run NU from there and everything worked fine.
Y'all go figure...

Has anyone had any similar experiences?  Any suggestions
beyond the usual ones?

Thanks to all,

Jackson Pollack was the pre-release name for 32 bit quickdraw. When the Mac 
crashes, Macsbug just displays whatever label is closest to the place where 
the problem occurred. Now, it might not be Quickdraw that is 
crashing....something might just be jumping there.  If the RasterOps 8/24XLi 
comes with any software that patches Quickdraw, there might be some connection; I don't know. Try 
removing ALL of the inits/control panels that are installed (including any supporting stuff for NUBUS 
cards) and try again.....

Yup, it can be configured in a variety of ways.  You can make the abort button
inactive if you want.  On *my* machine I leave it active although I don't use
it (really) and I like to think I know what I'm doing.  In the computer lab 
where I work it is set to be INACTIVE for just the reason you mentioned.

Several users (including myself) have experienced HD crashes on the
Duo 230 that cause the HD to become corrupted to the point that it
will not mount.  Your "two system folder" scheme will not help in that
case (I'm not sure it would in any case).  The best defenses I have
thought of are:

1) Boot off of a RAM disk.  Put a copy of Norton or MacTools Deluxe
Diskfix on the RAM disk.  If your drive gets trashed you will be able
to fix it.

2) Untested... Partition the internal drive on the Duo, put a system
folder on each partition.  This is what I am doing now, but I haven't
had a crash in quite a while so I don't know if both partitions would
get trashed or not.  Of course you need access to a floppy (or
preferably a hard drive to avoid reinstallation of the system from
floppies!) in order to do this.

In order to get to the stability that I have now, I stopped using
DiskExpress II and reformatted the drive using Hard Disk Toolkit.

    How about creating a ram disk (see memory control panel), and trans-
ferring the file to a 17meg ram disk. Then have the QT player access it
from the ram disk rather than the hard disk. Should work fine.

    But for dumping to tape, you might want to get a deck capable of 
singleframe recording.  You might be able to rent on, and this would
solve any jerkiness problems (sound is another matter though).
