- I recently ahd a problem on my GS after installing ORCA/C on my hard
- disk. I set "SetStart" to the ORCA shell. The system would boot fine.
- When I would "quit" from the shell, I would get a message stating
- "Finder needs GS/OS 6.0 or later". I would hit return and the dialog would
- pop up asking which application to run. But it would crash befor finishing.
-
- I booted without inits/DAs and the same thing happened. I then got out
- the original system 6 disks, and they booted fine. Conclusion: some system
- dependent file, on my hard drive, is corrupted. I then copied the original
- system disk to my RamFactor. I booted into ORCA shell again. I have a "cmp"
- shell command which I got from the unix system here, which I used to do
- byte compares of all of the main system files. The problem turned out to
- be TOOL018. I replaced this TOOL and the system now works fine.
-
- My problem now is why TOOL018 got corrupted!!! If anyone has any guess,
- or info, or anything else, let me know. I am not sure what TOOL018 provides.
-
- Thanks in advance.
