I believe you have to auto-mount the partition. at least in my setup All the 
Norton partitions are auto-mounted and I have no problem with sharing.

Here's my question:
I heard that virtual memory works much faster if it goes to a dedicated partition

Is it possible to create the VM file on the norton partition?

I created a Norton partition on my startup disk, but the Memory control panel
doesn't let me assign the VM file to the partition.(IIsi 5/80)

I'll followup to my own article, now that I have figured it out (with a bit
of help from Norton)

Yes, it is possible.  The trick is that the partition has to be mounted
BEFORE file-sharing starts up.  Normally, this implies that the partition
should be auto-mounted at startup, but you can just turn file-sharing off
and back on to get it to recognize that partition.  That is the easy part.

This didn't work for me.  It took a while, but the guy from Norton finally
remembered that the partition had to be (approximately) at least 2 meg to
be able to share it.  My test partition was only 1 meg.  I tried a larger
partition and everything worked just fine.  Thanks for all the suggestions.

Organization: Syracuse University, CIS Dept.

I recently discovered that changing the label (color) under Finder 7
caused the Finder to terminate (with the label change reflected after the
Finder restarted).  A little testing detected that Stuffit SpaceSaver
was the culprit.

The problem occurs under Sys. 7.0.1, with no other extensions/control panels
installed, and even with SpaceSaver turned off (but installed).

Is Alladin aware of the problem, and will there big a fix in the near future?


Thanks.

Sounds like NowMenus which is part of NowUtilities 4.0.  This is a
commercial product that has a whole collection of Power-User utilities
for use under System 7.  I use it a lot.

It sounds like NowMenus which is a part of the NowUtilities package
(commercial).  There is also another commercial utility called HAND-Off II,
from Connectix, which does this.

BTW, NowMenus is not compatible with Retrospect Remote.  It makes
Retrospect Remote quit when one of the remote volumes is offline
(turned-off) during backup procedure.

Date: 7 Oct 92 17:06:00 GMT

There's a PDA made by MicroWriter, sold mainly in Britain, that gets
around the handwriting problem by including a one-handed chorded
keyboard. With some practice, one can type up to 40 wpm looking neither
at the keys nor the screen. A flat surface isn't necessary to use it (it's
a palm-top that can in fact be used in the palm), and the text can be RS232'd
later onto other machines.

The utility of such things depends very much on the person; but I discarded
my paper address book and paper diary more than 18 months ago and have had
no regrets --- nor major accidents.

My guess is that the Newton's usefulness (as distinct, perhaps, from its
success) will depend on the software for retrieving the data it comes to
contain. The handwriting interface might even be a disadvantage.

I don't know the answer, but I think I can get you started.

You must be referring to the text selection caret, not the cursor, like the
one you see in TeachText when you don't have several characters selected
(hilited).  The cursor would be the I-beam thingie you can move around with
the mouse.  It doesn't blink, but does disappear (under program control)
when you are typing stuff in under many word processors including TextEdit.

The blinking of the caret is under program control.  With TextEdit, you
make calls to TEIdle as often as you can.  TEIdle then looks to see how
long it has been since the last off/on, and checks to see what speed of
blinking you want.  If enough time has gone by, it flips the caret off or
on.  If your program never calls TEIdle, there will be no blink.  If you
want to control what other programs do, find out which system variables
TEIdle is looking at for the blink speed and time interval, then try
changing either or both.  I imagine all other blinkers are looking at the
same place as TextEdit's TEIdle.

I would love to know what you find out.  Please post or e-mail.

For shame! Mentioning commercial products, and neglecting the well supported
and updated APOLLO! tsk tsk... I haven't used my mac in a while, so I can't
attest to it's absolutely latest versions, but it has to be one of the
most polished programs I've ever seen for shareware. Doesn't hog ram, clean,
fast, and ALWAYS better. And you know what? The author actually listens to
suggestions. I think it should be considered by any avid mac user. It
even lets you have customizable screen depth (color) and sound for individual
programs. Neat huh?
   In any case, I'd even send in my shareware fee myself, if it wasn't
for the fact that I now work on an HP APOLLO (coincidence) and hate my
Macintosh classic... Hmm, wonder if this impoverished student will be able
to afford even a Performa in the near future? Cars are too damned expensive...
What an awful investment. Kinda like buying a PC clone.

I have a question regarding memory use on the Macintosh.  Presently, I'm

to close some windows or shut down some applications.  However, even after
I do so, the memory in use never returns to what it had been before.

I'm running 7.0.1...will 7.1 fix this problem?  Alternatively, is there

Certain drivers had a problem when we introduced virtual memory with
System 7.  The problem stems from driver designs which were not reentrant.
Ours was one such driver.  We reworked it, and notified developers of the
need for reentrancy.  If you have our driver, the Memory control panel will
not allow you to turn VM on until you have upgraded to our newer driver
with HD SC Setup.

Virtual memory requires that drivers be reentrant.  The symptoms of this
kind of problem generally don't involve a crash during boot.

Have you tried restarting with extensions off?  I know that you said you
only have a System and Finder in your System Folder, but it's fairly
common that someone doesn't realize that there is something there after
all.  Just on the off-chance that that's the case, restart the system,
and hold down the shift key until you see "Welcome to Macintosh"
"Extensions off".

If that doesn't get it for you, you might try zapping the parameter RAM.
Restart the system, and hold down Cmd-Option-P-R until it restarts a
second time.

Finally, where did you get the System file in your System Folder?
Did you use the Installer?  If not, it may be incomplete for your
system's needs.

Good luck.  I hope you find this helpful.

I have Jasmine 40 HD and would like to use system 7 now.  Yet,  I found out
that Jasmine is out of business and my driveware is outdated.  How can I
reformat my HD?  Will La Cie's Silverlining format Jasmine HD?  Any help
you may offer will be appreciated.
Thanks.
