DD is just an init; if it doesn't load, it can't cause problems. If
you've removed it from your disk and you still have problems, DD has
nothing to do with those problems--it never makes changes to your System
in any case.  In my own experience, EM 1.8 causes no problems either. 

Have you tried zapping the pram? It often solves inexplicable problems
like you report. To do it in System 7, hold down the option-command-p-r
keys when booting. You'll have a sort of "stutter" boot--you'll start
rebooting, hear a beep, and then start rebooting again. You can release
those keys then.

We have a LocaTalk network which includes several PCs equiped with
LocalTalk cards. In the near future we wish to connect the LocalTalk to
an ethernet network (probably using an EtherRoute box).
I am told that the Macs will need MacTCP software but is there software
that the PCs can use to enable them to access the ethernet via the
existing LocalTalk network? We don't want to have to run ethernet in
parallel with the LocalTalk.

Thanks,

It is better than v4.0 if you have a faster Mac. If I was still using an
SE or a Plus I would hesitate to upgrade if I was planning to use all the
newer features (Grammar Checker, Equation Editor, etc).

There will be no v5.01.

Does anyone have any recommendations, given the above constraints?

DMM LW Stuff provides the tools and advice needed to tame Mac PS into

    I'm curious, too: on my PB 170, also with 8 Mbyte and 7.0.1/1.1.1,
almost every time Word 5 is the first application launched (not counting
things in the Startup Items folder) after booting, I get the infamous
insufficient memory message. If I try Word immediately after, it starts
up OK. Now, I'm certain Microsoft hasn't done anything nonstandard or

Subject: Word 5.0 compatibility problem
Summary: Incompatible with Suitcase II & MacroMaker together 
Organization: Indiana University
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 01:57:32 GMT

I just installed Word 5.0, and am experiencing an irritating and
possibly dangerous compatibility problem. Maybe somebody can help me.

I also use Suitcase II (1.2.5) and MacroMaker (whatever version came
with System 6.0.7, which is what I'm running on my SE/30 with 5MB of
memory). Suitcase is absolutely essential to me; a font I use depends
crucially upon a modified keyboard that is installed when the font is
opened in Suitcase. I also use MacroMaker heavily, for font/format
changing and the like.

The symptom is that whenever I open Word 5.0 with both Suitcase and
MacroMaker in my system folder, I get a small black box in the menu bar,
to the right of the last Word menu heading and to the left of the
MacroMaker cassette icon. If I point to this box and click, the computer
freezes and I have to reboot with the programmer's switch. This has
already happened to me in trying to point to the MacroMaker icon. If I
remove either Suitcase OR MacroMaker, restart, and then open Word, I
don't get the black box and everything seems to operate normally.

Does anybody have a good piece of advice for me? Is there a quick way to
update Suitcase (e.g., an updater through ftp)? Or is there a really
good macro recorder that's conceptually equivalent to MacroMaker that I
could buy and avoid my incompatibility problem this way? Or any other
suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having a strange problem with my Mac IIci when setting up MicroSoft Mail.
I go into the chooser, select the MS-Mail icon and then hit the Set Up button
only to get an error which says there's not enough memory to complete the
operation. It says to close some windows and try again. I can use MS-Mail, but
I can't get it to log into my account when I start up my Mac.

What's happening here. My Mac has 20M of memory which is in my mind, a lot
of memory. No other windows are opened. We're going over ethernet lines to
transport stuff around our network. Does anyone know what's happening to
cause this problem?

Could this be related to a problem I'm having with WordPerfect where it won't
start up because it says my disk is full when there's 30M unused disk space?
This happened all of a sudden and I was using software that was installed from
the original floppies and I even reformatted my hard disk without any results.
Could this be related to the MS-Mail problem? I solved the WP problem by using
MS-Word 5.0 instead which works exceedingly well.

 I figured this out, finally. It was the module "Holistic Sofa," which works

 I was able to scope this out by selecting all the modules in Randomizer,

They are usually batched together (with a tag at the beginning of each
one which indicates how long the article is), compressed, and a

Yes.  It's called ToadNews and is written by John Mah.  It decompresses
the batch-file, separates out the articles, and stores them in a folder
hierarchy on disk.  It also handles expiration of outdated articles.

It's still in beta-test.  The beta I've been using (1.0b2) seems to be
very stable and efficient.  I'm hoping to test out 1.0b4 in the near
future (the copy John sent me got eaten en-route).

Yup.  And, you'd probably find that there are a whole bunch of separate
