HELP! We recently got our Apple HFS 20 Meg drive and love it, EXCEPT- we can't get MacC (consulair), MULTIPLAN, WORD, or anything else to work. Microsofts products work occassionally, but MacC is having real problems. We've tried loading the stuff several ways as Consulair said if it was all in the root directory it should work, but to no avail. Can anyone give me a way to load it on the disk so we can use our new toy. (That's all it is at this point--a toy! because we can't use it!!!) I would also enjoy reading the excuse of Microsoft and other as to why they do not already have compatible versions out on the market. I have a friend who is a liscenced developer---something we have been trying to get Apple to give us info on for 4 months to no avail, another flame--- and he had access to a protocol of the drive ages ago, the real thing "supposedly" last summer. Come on guys---get your **** together. Jan Richardson Richardson Computer Consultants, Inc 147 Joel Avenue Union, MO 63084 Temporary Net address: ihnp4!we53!jlr

An HFS version of Mac C is due out Real Soon Now (staight from the horse's mouth). It will be an upgrade of version 4.0 and 4.01, so if you're running an earlier version it's gonna cost your more. More info: Consulair Corp. 140 Campo Dr. Portola Valley, CA 94025 (415)851-3849

I was finaly able to get somthing to happen with Consulair C and my Paradise Mac10 running HFS and Finder 5.0 by doing the following: 1. Place all the Mac C application goodies in the root directory. 2. Put all the .h, .rel, .* files there to. 3. build a job file. 4. Sit and wait 'til h**l freezes over, or the exec finishes for a two line change. or 1. Wait 'til Bill Duvall (sp?) makes all the required fixes to make his code compatable with HFS. (I have gone back and created a pre-HFS volume and am using that but the Dialog boxes are still a concept, misplaced buttons, etc.) I am using version 4.0 (external s/n 7130) if anyone important is listening (or reading), I HOPE THE FIXES ARRIVE SOON cause i am tired of beating my head againt the wall.
