- hello, folks..
-
- 3 small questions that I don't think are FAQ's (I hope)
-
- 1. Could someone tell me just what the hell MacTCP is and what it's good for?
-
- 2. (This one is more important to me) I am using DiskDoubler on my ClassicII
- running 7.0.1+1.1.1 and I LOVE it, but I occasionally find that when I open a
- compressed document, it uncompresses (apparently fine,) but then it _doesn't_
- open it -- it just recompresses it! I'm doing it _right_ -- i.e. I start the
- application _first_, or I make sure the application isn't compressed (btw I
- wish someone would work on that for future versions -- why can't I open a
- compressed document that can send its launch command to a compressed app which
- will then uncompress and launch and open that document?? it does make DD a
- little more cumbersome for me.) It only happens occasionally, and I've always
- assumed that there was something else wrong (not enough memory, or whatever)
- but I've noticed that it keeps happening, even when nothing else is running. I
- don't notice any rhyme or reason to the things it refuses to open -- i.e. this
- happens with docs, with apps, etc.
- It's a pain because I have to select the item and go to "Expand" under the DD
- menu -- and if I don't remember to select it and compress it again when I'm
- done, DD won't automatically recompress it.
-
- 3. We've just noticed here that the office copy of MacLink Plus/PC (6.0 I
- think) doesn't have a translator for QuarkExpress. This is only mildly
- annoying, as we don't get much call to translate Quark files, but I'm curious
- as to why. As my boss pointed out, it's got PageMaker, Ventura Publisher, and
- FrameMaker -- but no Quark Express? What's the excuse for not providing
- translation for such a popular program?
