How big a soujnd are you dealing with?  I have done this without a
problem.  Maybe I'm not understanding the question.  With regards to #2,
the answer is simple.  Open the scrapbook.  Copy the sound.  Open the
sound CDEV.  Paste.  It will ask you to name the sound.  Name it and
click okay.  There you have it.

Can anyone explain why the following doesn't work.

If I take a sound resource file (type sfil creator movr) and open it with
ResEdit, it contains a single sound resource. Similarly, if I change the type
and creator of a sound file to rsrc and RSED, it is recognised as a ResEdit
resource file containing a single sound resource. However, if I make a ResEdit
resource file containing a single sound resource (by pasting, or recording a
sound within ResEdit), save it and change the type and creator to sfil and
movr, double clicking on the sound brings up an Insufficient memory error
(although there's >2.5M free memory). Trying to copy it into the system gives
the same error. WHY????? This happens on both an SE 4/40 running 7.0 tuned
1.1.1, and a Classic II 4/40 7.0.1/1.1.1.

On a similar vein, how is it possible to use the sound resource in the
Scrapbook (other than the way above) to create a system sound?

Thanks for any help and/or explanations.

That is what I heard from a medium sized network in Mississipi.  I myself 
have tried FolderBolt, but found it too buggy.  The makers also promised me 
a fix when I discovered that you couldn't export to different file formats 
in Word 5.0.  That was in June.  So it seems to me that there is a very 
great need for a program like FileGuard or Folderbolt to (a) prevent people 
from copying software in a Mac lab, and (b) prevent people from deleting 
important files or adding crazy fonts and das -- ALL WITHOUT IMPEDING THE 
OPERATION AND ESPECIALLY TEMP FILE CREATION OF OTHER PROGRAMS.  I would 
heartily support a university Mac Lab Managers' Interest Group devoted to 
this issue.  Right now I'm at a total loss - I have to waste hours cleaning 
up the lab all the $#%&* time.

i have to use LaserWriter 7.0 with if i want to use TuneUp 1.1.1, as the
Novell print queues think they're printing while nothing ever comes out
of the printer.  Works fine.  Copying it into a System 6.x  system folder
works fine (for what it's worth, LaserWriter 5.2 works fine under system
7) - keeping only 1 version of your printer driver on the network is
essential.

I've obtained a font (TrueType) for which each of the style variations

I'd rather it behave like the fonts that ship with the system software,
so that the fon tappears just once in the Font menu, and style variations
are accessed via the Style menu, or whatever means the application has set
up.  Is it possible to make this change using ResEdit or something?
I'm assuming it's not as simple as renaming the styles to "Font name (style)"

I have a IIci with 20 MB of RAM.  I would like to try running the OS on the
RAM disk, but I'm confused: The RAM disk is an INIT in the system folder -
it starts up when the OS starts up.  By changing the startup to the RAM
disk (which, to my knowledge, starts up *after* the OS), how does the RAM disk
INIT even start up? 
 
Also, what RAM disk program will start up the OS? I've got a copy of RamDisk+
3.0.1, but it gives me an 'out of memory' feature when I try to start up
with it (pretty odd when I have 20 megs RAM).

The System 7 Book by Graig Danuloff. Also I haven't read it
anywere, on the net or a magazine.

For some it might be usefull to know this:

Whenever you hold down the shift-key during startup no
extensions will be loaded and no item in the Startup
Items Folder will be executed.
However, when you startup normal and start holding down
the shift-key after the last extension is loaded but before
the Finder is completely started no item in the Startup
Items Folder will be executed.

I don't have to explain when it is usefull...

because the programs themselves are not 32-bit compatible, or is it something

I haven't experienced any problems here. My configuration is:
Mac LC II 10/40, 
7.0.1 (TU 1.1.1), 
EtherTalk Phase 2,
DosMounter 3.0 (there's apparently a v3.1 out)

What version of DosMounter are you running ?

Incidentally, I even managed to read DOS' CD-ROMs by loading DosMounter
_before_ the

When I first got my PB100 I wanted a heavier ball too thinking it would
make the "roll" smoother.  Then I noticed that the PB100 is distinctively
different than it's bigger siblings in that the roller ball does NOT
rest on rollers like the others, but rather on solid posts.  Hence
the slight skipping around.  

Poor design if you ask me, and I'm not sure a heavier ball will help.

I've got a Mac that "gets slow" after it's been up for a while.  I
suspect any number of causes, ranging from the disk driver to memory
fragmentation in the system heap.  It's a Mac II running 7.0.1*1.1.1
with a "ton" of INITs.  I'm not looking for an answer, but a tool to
help me determine the answer.  Ideally, this would help me determine
things like
1. How much time is spent in each application (including faceless
   ones)
1a. "Hot spots" in memory (i.e., is a particular INIT or trap taking a lot of
    CPU?)
2. How many disk I/Os per second.
3. Memory usage/fragmentation.

Does anyone know of a tool that does this or some subset?  Please
respond by mail.
