Find out what device your SCSI drive is, then set the MacVolumes
environment variable to it's name in /dev, e.g.:
export MacVolumes=/dev/sdb
Of course you'll need read/write permission on the device in question.
If you get the device wrong, Executor will notice that it's not a Mac
filesystem and will leave it alone.

How have you transferred the files?

That's good to hear. Which version of Framemaker?

Must be Quicken 4 or earlier. Which version? We have 4 over here and
I don't recall the color problem, but I haven't looked at it in a
while.

Can you be more specific? I think that might be a problem that was
solved in 1.99o. Please get 1.99o if you haven't already. If you
still have the problems, send a little more detail to "bugs@ardi.com".

Strange. What kernel?
