Greetings!

I have a little problem that I'm starting to rapidly run out of disk space on
my hard drive.  (P_sses me off, too!  I just bought the thing a month ago! :( )

Anyway, while looking for solutions I saw an add for AutoDoubler, a program 
that automatically compresses your files to give you more room.  Has anyone
used this product?  Are there any bad points or pitfalls I should look out
for?  Can I just use AutoDoubler, or do I have to buy the company's other
program DiskDoubler too?

Thanks much for any replies in advance!

A kind soul posted the solutions right away:

sol1: use freeware suntar 1.3.2 on sumex-aim's info-mac
sol2: if my mac is running MacTCP (ie, has FTP protocol), use fetch command
to download.

Thank you.

The program's name is 'II in a Mac'.  I don't remember the company's name,
but it is an old program, so I don't know if it works with the newer 
machines.  It works on an SE20 and SE30, though. 
The program allows the user to transfer stuff from the Apple II series to the
Mac via cable, so the 5,25" disks appear as documents on the Mac screen.  It 
also accepts 3,5" duo disks in the Mac's disk drive.
The program emulates the IIe model and can run both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS
applications.  The 5,25" disk drives appear on the screen and the user can
choose which disk to insert from the 5,25" document list.

I was planning to buy this program some one and a half year ago and then it
was supposed to cost about $200.  As I said before I cannot remember the 
companys name, but I've seen their ad in MacUser now and then on the market-
place pages.

Hopefully there is someone out there that knows the company's name.

I recently bought a PowerBook 160, and while I find the grey scale screen
makes for generally eye-pleasing screens, I have noticed a problem, and I'm
wondering if something is wrong.  Any window or icon on the screen seems to
produce a "shadow", a slightly darkened area running all the way to the top
of the screen.  This apparent with the monitor set for 16 greys, barely
apparent at 4 greys, and goes away when set for black & white (but so does
all the nice shading of icons, windows, etc).  Are there any other 160
owners out there who've seen this?  Is this normal, or do I have a hardware
problem?  Thanks for your help.

I think the Word 5 manual says you should set memory at 2Meg if you use Sys 7
and/or the Grammar checker.
The Classic with Sys 7 is not going to be too fst anyway, but be sure you
have sys7 TuneUp 1.1.1 installed, and remove things like the Crammar checker
if you aren't using it. Also, get the Word5a patch and especially the
new Spell and Grammar checker PIM's (plug in modules).

I have a Classic II with all the above, and I set memory for Word 5 at 1200-
1400K with no problem. I have removed the grammar checker (I like the new 
spelling checker). I have the stuf mentioned above, and its tolerable, though
not a speed demon. Sys 7 on a classic is slow. I waited till I had a faster
machine to use Sys 7. I know a lot of people who still use Sys 6.xx for

commercial?

Finally, I was wondering if there is any way to see the user name of people
who are logged onto your computer as a guest.

If you have any ideas for good programs or utilities, please include whether
they are shareware or commercial.  Shareware is preferred, but I might splurge
on a commercial product if it's *really* useful.

Thank you for any help you can give me,

Memory upgrades are supposed to be installed by service technicians, and

The PowerBooks still have trouble with MIDI, the standard interface for

Hello there,

I have found a wierd bug that causes any folder that begins with a 'U' or
a 'u' becomes invisible to the user.  Even applications don't show it. 
However if you know the name, or part of the name, of the folder you can
use the FileFinder or FindPro II to make the file visible again.  Once you
cause a screen update the folder gets hidden again.  This seems only to
work on external drives.

Has anyone else noted such an anomaly?

Well, let me point out that the NeXT doesn't have a FPU either, and  
although it could benefit from a coprocessor, it does reasonably.  The  
reason is that the 040 has half a math coprocessor built in.  It does  
+,-,*,/, sqrt, abs, and a few others, but not the trancendentals.  On the  
NeXT, these are simulated in software, and it doesn't seem too slow.

They do have paid subscriptions though, but those are VERY expensive.
