This point jogged my memory...someone (on another list?) had a problem running MacDraw II on modern Macs. They eventually figured out that MD was written in such a way (back in the day of small hard drives, but defying Apple's own guidelines not to make assumptions about the hardware, of course) that it could save to a drive only in the first gigabyte -- once that had filled up, you would get an error message that there either wasn't enough memory or drive space or something like that. At least that's the way I remember it...in any event, that would explain why you can save to a Zip cartridge, but not to your hd, once it filled up over 1 GB. -- Bill Art page: <http://geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
