[comp.sys.mac] PageMaker 3.02 gets corrupted

dbdg0480@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (02/03/90)

I have been having a problem with PageMaker 3.02 on a Mac SE w/20MB
system 6.03 I believe.  Every now and then the PageMaker application
file gets corrupted.  The file size and modification date changes.  The
date obviously changes to the date and time that the modification happens,
and if I remember correctly the size increases by about 1 or 2 K.

I called Aldus Tech support, and they suggested that this probelm might be
related to having installed PageMaker with GateKeeper 1.1.1 turned on.  I
would like to get more opinions on this subject before I believe this one.
If anyone has experience this type of problem, or has any insights, please
post or respond via E-mail.  If you need more information, I will get it
for you. Thanks for your help.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I have check out this hard drive with
Disinfectant 1.5 and SAM.  So, I don't think this problem is virus related.

Here's more info.  This problem just came up again.  One thing in common, is
that every time the program crashes and the file gets corrupted, the last
action taken was to hit the OKAY button in the print dialogue box.  And the
file size did not increase this time, it decreased.  Any and all information
on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
