RadiusWare Conflict With On Cue II
Hello Michael! Yes, there is a conflict with the RadiusWare Control Panel [and On Cue II.] The problem is caused by Radius, and we cannot make our software compatible with it in it's current incarnation. However, if you turn off the offending portions of the control panel, you will be able to get On Cue II & RadiusWare running together. The portions of RadiusWare that cause trouble are the "large menu font" and "Auto Center" functions. All other functions can be left in place, since they don't conflict. Depending on the severity of the conflict, RadiusWare may have corrupted our "On Cue II Preferences" file (which is at System Folder : Preferences) and it may need to be trashed. On a restart a default preferences file will be created. -Michael O'Connell, ICOM Simulations Support

Rebuilding A SpaceSavered Disk
What SpaceSaver does during a desktop rebuild is expand and IMMEDIATELY recompress a file as the system opens it during the rebuild. The setting of your "Postpone recompression until machine is idle" checkbox is ignored for this special operation. Therefore, the only way you might "run out of disk space" is if there is insufficient room to expand some individual file.
And also therefore, Gordon, you should not have to 'recompress' anything after a desktop rebuild, everything should be recompressed at the end of the rebuild.
Please note that this expansion and compression will make a Desktop rebuild take about three times longer than one on the same number of files without SpaceSaver. At least, to the best of my knowledge, a desktop rebuild only looks at, and therefore requires the expansion and recompression of, applications.
The icons for documents and support files are assigned via their Type and Creator codes when the folders are opened, so if you have SpaceSaver turned off during a desktop rebuild, be prepared to see generic icons for all files associated with your SpaceSavered applications.
And as to turning off SpaceSaver when virus checking, the virus checkers are also "special-cased" so that IMMEDIATE recompression occurs, just like a desktop rebuild. I guess turning off SpaceSaver makes sense, in that I don't know of any viruses that attack dormant files on your hard disk, and turning SpaceSaver off will speed up the virus scan, but it does mean that you are NOT checking the contents of those files for viruses.
Whew! Let me know if I can be of further assistance. -Thomas Haller Aladdin Systems, Inc.

StuffIt Engine 3.0.3 Updater
About a week and a half ago there was a new updater for Stuffit Deluxe released in the library. It updated version 3.0.4 to 3.0.5. It included several updaters for things like the Stuffit Deluxe application, Magic Menu, the Stuffit Engine, and others.
The problem is that the previous updater from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 (files 26043 and 26091 - they're both the same file) only updated the Stuffit Deluxe application. The Stuffit Engine extension was left at version 3.0.3.
This latest update (which says it installs an improved and fixed version of the Stuffit Engine extension) won't update from 3.0.3, so there's no way to update the Stuffit Engine extension...
Any ideas? (LINEFEED, CAT3, TOP52, MSG:25/m605)
----> What you want to download is the SPACESAVER 1.0.2->1.0.3 file which is
file #26089. This contains the elusive StuffIt Engine 3.03 updater as well as a new Compression Extension. However if you've used the 3.05 SD updater don't use this Extension, cause then it ain't new. :)

LCIII Upgrade Or Accelerator
I hate to give up the 2, 4MB SIMM's I have on my LCII. Does it make more sense to buy an accelerator board for my LCII rather than go the LCIII route and have to buy all new SIMM's? (R.GRIP, CAT24, TOP3, MSG:26/m605)
-----> Well R.GRIP, it does depend on whether you want an official apple
upgrade. The two things you gain from it (aside from speed and an 030, which you can get from an accelerator board...plus an fpu) are 16 bit video (remember you just used your only PDS!) and abilitity to expand to 36 megs instead of ten. You also get a 32 bit wide pathway, which means a 25 mhz accelerator board in your LC would be 20-30% slower than an LC III with the superior pathway.
