I saw your question, but it didn't "click", even though I had a similar problem some time ago. It's because the symptoms seem so unrelated to disk space. When I had the problem, I flogged away at it, then only discovered the disk space problem due to log accumulation when I tried to copy an new copy of SIMS over. Now, I use KeepItUp to keep track of how much disk space I have, and archive the logs when I get time. (<http://www.vl-brabant.be/mac/kiu.html>) By the way, SIMS logs are poster children for StuffIt. The compression ratio is mind-boggling. --Lyle ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
