[comp.sys.mac] H E L P - - -> Cannot get DA to move ...

THIS IS REALLY BIZZARE.

Surely this has happened to SOMEONE ELSE ...

I am using system 6.02, a Mac SE with 1 Meg ram and 20 meg HD.

Normally one opens Font/DA Mover, opens the system or DA file in one window,
opens the new DA to be copied in the other window, highlights it, clicks
on the copy to button and the DA is copied into the other window.

This usually happens with me too except lately:

  WHEN I CLICK ON SOME DA's TO BE MOVED THEY WON'T APPEAR IN THE WINDOW
  SO I CAN HIGHLIGHT THEM TO COPY ... !!  The name does appear below 
  the window.  I have even tried double clicking on the DA to be moved 
  but the same thing happens.  Does this mean that the DA is not 
  compatible with system 6.02 or what ??????

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

	Do you have Font/DA Juggler running? I have found that in this case
DA's with the number "12" do not appear in the Font/DA Mover window( you
have to "close" the Suitcase file from Font/DA juggler first of course). If
you start-up without Font/DA Juggler then all is well. Perhaps its because
Font/DA Juggler does some mucking around with the DA nos. to avoid number
conflicts....
	"12" is a common number for DA's...Its the default from Think C for
example.
