   No, I was missing something.  I didn't realize that it was not
possible to switch 24/32 bit addressing on the fly, ie w/out start
up.  I was thinking of a cdev that lets you toggle the 040 cache
(or something like that).  Anyway, I now realize this and thank
you all for letting me know...  you can stop letting me know now

	David, I love to beat up on Adam as much as the next guy,
	but I think you are overreacting here:

	Please note that RS made reference to DFA, and whereas he did
	not state that "you should run DFA before deciding to reformat
	or to simply install Tuneup", I understood that, and (I am willing
	to assume) Adam understood that.  Did all readers understand that?
	No (I feel certain to say) - but so what else is new?!?

	Adam's "to cover themselves" was undoubtedly a 'cheap shot'
	(but is he REALLY completely 'off his rockers'?!?), but it was
	also followed by "in the best interest of the user".

	Are you having a bad day, today?!?  (Reads like some of my stuff,

Dear netters, please help.

I recently had the hard drive on my PowerBook 170 replaced under

Finder, Extensions and Control Panels which I reinstalled from scratch
or copied from the IIfx which has had no problems.  Everything seems
to work just dandy except that the Memory Control Panel includes no

	Run A/UX.  A/UX 3.0 is System 7-compatible.  Of course, you
can't run it on the college's Classic, but your IIcx should do, provided
you can spare 80 Mb of hard drive space to hold Unix (and you should think
of having at least 8 Mb of RAM, and probably more).

	If you're looking for Diet-Unix, consider Mach or Minix.

Site license for MacTCP is available.  A year ago it used to cost $2.5K or
$5K depending on whether you were planning to redistribute MacTCP, were an
educational institution or in-house use only (I can't remember which cost
applied to which situation).  I think the license price hasn't changed. 
Call Apple Software Licensing, 408-974-4667, for details.  The $100 APDA
cost is just for a single user license and includes the software.  With the
site license, you can distribute copies of the APDA provided software per
the terms of your license.

Subject: HELP - Directory structure error.
Organization: MIT Industrial Liaison Program
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 1992 15:58:09 GMT

Hi!
	I am having a problem with my MAC IIci 80MB hard disk (5MB 
RAM, System 7.0 + latest tuneup).  I am currently getting the
following error when I run 911 utilities:

     Directories:
         The directory information is damaged-the disk is not usable.
         The directory damage on this disk is too severe for the 
           Sector Collector to be used.

	Here's what has happened:

I got the above error about two weeks ago.  Shortly thereafter, I was 
using Aldus PageMaker when all of my files disappeared from my System 
folder.  I got an error message when I tried to reload system files 
onto my MAC, so I reformatted the whole disk.  After I installed 
System 7 and the tune-up and all of my software and files (which I had 
saved to a portable), I ran 911 and got the same directory error.

I don't have a copy of Norton Utilities, so I took the computer to 
someone who does and we ran it.  Unfortunately, it didn't fix the 
damaged directory information.  So I reformatted the hard disk again. 
This time I tested it with 911 utilities immediately after I loaded 
System 7 (+ tuneup) and Disinfectant 2.9 init.  The hard disk checked out 
okay.  But after I loaded my files from the portable, I got the same 
directory error.  I am loading standard programs and files:  
PageMaker, Word, Persuasion, Excel, MacDraw Pro, Macsbug, FileMaker, 
White Knight, etc and documents created from these programs.  I
also loaded a few extensions: Extension Manager, QuickTime, WatchDos,
Flash-It 2.2, MenuChoice 1.1, PopChar, SuperClock! 3.0.  Finally, I
noticed that there were about 30 alias' I reloaded from the portable.

The Apple Hard Disk Setup Test checks out okay.  Rebuilding the 
desktop doesn't help.

Could the problem have sometime to do with when I load my files from
the portable if an alias' loads before its original file, it screws
up the directory?  Has anyone had any similar problems?  Any ideas on 
how to fix it?  How can I rebuild the directory structure?  Thanks in 
advance for any assistance.

What do you mean 'it won't work'? Is it disabled or can you switch it on,
but it won't BE on after restart? Have you got >4MB free on your HD? VM
need as much space on HD as you want VM - not just the difference between
real mem and VM. So if you want 5MB you need 5MB free on HD, not 1MB.

The fact that the problem just went away by itself reminds me to
ask about something that is happening to me, it happened this
morning for the second time (the first time being some weeks ago, I
posted about it then, got no really good reply, the problem went
away by itself and I forgot about it until it happened again this
morning). When I started up, the titles of finder windows and the
titles of documents in applications were displayed in New York
instead of Chicago. Last time it happened I restarted and things
were back to Chicago. This time I didn't, but a short while later
(c. 15 min.) I looked up and the font in the title bar was back to
Chicago. Is this something that is held in the Finder Prefs? Does
the Finder Prefs setting affect the font of document window titles?
Is it held somewhere else? PRAM? Is it something I should worry
about as a symptom of bad things to come? Should I just go take a
little nap? Should I try to forget about New York and Chicago and
go to Philly?

You are mistaken... on the LCD screen of the PB100, white pixels are "off"
and black pixels are "on" - the opposite of normal monitors but much 
like your hand-held calculator.  This is why screen savers for the
PowerBook blank the screen to white, not black.

In any case, the thread you refer to was mostly conjecture... I believe
that the difference in power drain is negligible compared with the 
drain of the backlight, hard disk and CPU.

I am thinking about switching to A/UX on my IIsi.  I currently have a 3/40

memory and Hard-drive as well as any additional hardware.  What kind of money are
we talking about in terms of purchasing the system?  I am new to the Unix world
and am curious about discovering more about this operating system and its power
as it seems that in the next few years Unix will be gaining as strong foothold
in the Personal computer market (e.g. The Power PC based Macs).

Also, is there any good terminal software that will allow me to set up my
Mac as a full-fledged Unix workstation connected via modem to my university's

How well does A/UX 3.0 run on a Mac IIci?  I mean, does it really slow
the system down, or does it make the system feel faster, or what?  How
stable is it when you run System 7.0 (or 7.1) on top of it?  Does
running System 7 on top of it give System 7 any more functionality,
like "true" multitasking or memory protection?  Does Xwindows come
with it?  Is the Unix end of it integrated with the Mac end any better
or worse than the NeXT handles its hybrid of CLI's versus icons?  How
much disk space does a full installation of it take up, and what's
most of the space used for?
