If you're running in 32-bit mode, then you need version 1.1v3.  Give
Claris a call and they'll be happy to send it to you for free.

Sorry, my mistake. Apparently 2.0w is required only on the newly-released
Macs. I believe at least 2.0v is required for 7.1 though.

I have another "problem" with Suitcase and/or the way that System
7.1 is handling things. Here's the story:

I'm using Suitcase 2.1 (I'm not sure about 2.1.1) and upgraded the
other day to System 7.1. Suitcase does not want to run and is
giving me problems -- so I turned it off. But now my documents are
not happy with the "new" Helvetica and Courier etc. that are in the
new Fonts folder. I keep getting the old you-don't-have-Helvetica
message, when it's there in the menu and system. 

I seem to remember having harmonized my fonts a while ago...perhaps
this is the problem? I also found that I could not remove any of
the fonts in the Font folder, since they are all being used. I
wanted to copy new versions of the fonts from the Fonts disk, or
from another suitcase - Not.

any ideas?

Summary: Any way to make it go faster?
X-Posted-From: shire.math.columbia.edu
NNTP-Posting-Host: sol.ctr.columbia.edu

I have a MacSE hooked up to a LaserWriter IISC (QuickDraw
printer hooked up to the SCSI port) running System 7.0
with ATM, Suitcase, and both TrueType and Postscript fonts.
I've set both the disk cache and the ATM cache to 256K.

Printing is excruciatingly slow. Are there any tricks to make
it go faster? I opened up with Suitcase a suitcase with the bitmapped
Times fonts with sizes up to 96pt, hoping that this would
bypass the TrueType font. This didn't seem to make much
difference.

Another thing, I'm using the Personal Laserwriter SC driver;
would it be better to use the older Laserwriter IISC driver?

Argh, no! There's a much less drastic solution. Create a folder
and paste a custom icon onto it. Using ResEdit or a similar tool,
make the "Icon" file inside that folder visible (turn off the
invisible bit). Copy the "Icon" file to the root level of the
afflicted drive. Make it invisible again. Throw away the folder
and reboot. Your drive should have an icon again.

This happened to me not long after System 7 came out and this fix
worked perfectly.

Wrong... the Compatibility Checker 2.0 is very anal-retentive. HyperCard
2.1 works fine (I even called Claris to double-check; they said there was
no problem) and as for Illustrator 3.2 not being compatible, I have 7.1
and I'm still using 3.0, no problem. I open my PostScript Fonts with
Suitcase, thus I don't have to worry about whether or not they need to go
in the Fonts Folder or Extensions Folder. MacPaint 2.0 works. I don't know
about the others...I don't own any of them... but if you just try it, you
can figure out which is which.

(People had the same problem with Compatibility Checker 1.0 and System
7.0... Wish Apple would do something about that...)

I spent a grand total of $62.50 on my upgrades (including the original $35
for 7.1) and shelling out a whole $7.50 for ATM 3.0 was frivolous; you
can get by with 2.0.3 if you open your PostScript Fonts with Suitcase.

See above comments on so-called "compatibility"...
This isn't a new complaint, as I said... I remember reading the same gripe
when people were upgrading to 7.0 oh-so long ago.
But, if you actually paid $99 for your upgrade, as opposed to the $35
upgrade that was discussed for weeks on here, _then_ you have a reason to
complain...

[it's too early in the morning to be worrying about deleting .sig files.. :D)

The system uses the first five letters in the first word of a font name,
plus the first three letters of each succeeding capitalized word, to find the
PostScript file. Thus, if you are using Jacksonville Old Style, the system
will search for a PostScript file called "JacksOldSty".
If you ever have to put the suitcase of a bitmap and the PostScript file
in the same folder, and they have similar names (i.e., I have a suitcase
and a PostScript file, both of which are called "Revue"), always change the
suitcase name
 (i.e., "Revue bitmap", or "Revue Suitcase." I call mine "Revue ". Note
the space...)

Sorry if I sound officious, I'm being brief because I want to finish reading
