I think SuperClock may have some problems. I have been using version 3.4 as well as earlier versions on a IIcx and have been geting a lot of buss errors and crashes or hangs of various sorts. I noticed on some of those times that the clock was showing a whole hour and the chime sound hadn't played. This is what made me suspect SuperClock. This doesn't occur all the time so I suspect it is some kind of timming problem with some other piece of software. I turned it off and haven't noticed any of these crashes or hangs. I really like SuperClock and hope this can be fixed. I'm using System 6.03, Finder 6.1 and a whole slew of INITs,CDEVs, etc. Anyone else having similar problems? -- Tony Jacobs * Center for Engineering Design * UofU * t-jacobs@wasatch.utah.edu

Anything that I do after that will cause the system to crash. (I know, I know...don't DO that ;-) SE/30, ADB keyboard, 2 meg., multifinder, INIT/CDEV 2.0, all other inits removed, MacsBug 6.1 installed. SuperClock 3.3 doesn't seem to do this so I think I'll stick with it awhile longer.

SuperClock 3.5 just came out here in the MidWest--I think it was probably plucked from the Source or MacNet or such. It still keeps the "all known bugs fixed" claim, and adds the option to have the hourly chime beep once or as many times as the present hour (more like a real clock). .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {rosevax, crash, orator}!orbit!pnet51!pj | Working with idiots keeps | | ARPA: crash!orbit!pnet51!pj@nosc.mil | my life interesting... | | INET: pj@pnet51.cts.com | | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Also, does it fix the problem with Pagemaker >3.02 fractional fonts that I have heard mentioned? I have tested version 3.3 with PageMaker 3.02, including fractional font sizes, and it works just fine. Aldus warns of a problem with "SuperClock! version 3." They leave it unclear exactly which version this is, and so it may have already been fixed in later SuperClock! versions 3.0x. Or my simple test (which in- cluded printing out on a LaserWriter) just didn't hit the bug. I have had none of the problems cited by the original poster with regard to version 3.4. However, I too would like to get the current version. -- -Brian Diehm Tektronix, Inc. (503) 627-3437 briand@tekig4.LEN.TEK.COM P.O.

Speaking of programs incompatible with SuperClock, both Allegro Common Lisp and it's lesser cousin Pearl Lisp crashes on startup if SuperClock is installed. These programs build the menu bar on the fly directly from lisp-calls - I suppose this is the culprit. N.B. this goes for SuperClock v 3.4, which is the newest version I've seen. +-------------------------+--------------------------------+------------------+ | Sven Axelsson | d83_sven_a@tekno.chalmers.se | DISCLAIMER: | | dep:t of Linguistics | (^^ best ^^) | | | univ. of Gothenburg | dlv_sa@hum.gu.se | This is not | | SWEDEN | usdsa@seguc21.bitnet | a disclaimer. | +-------------------------+--------------------------------+------------------+

On my Mac II, SuperClock 3.4 (and earlier versions) bombs when I click the OK button to exit the clock configuration dialog. I discovered this happens if you removed all sounds from your system. Putting back a sound resource back in the system (or opening a sound file with MasterJuggler/Suitcase type uitilities) will solve the problem. ****************************************************************************** * Louis Demers * Defence Research Establishment Valcartier * * office = (418) 844-4424 * Electro-Optics Division * * lab = (418) 844-4265 * P.O.

Maybe it fixes the problem. I got it from Compuserve last week. Would you like me to post it to comp.binaries.mac? Alex Chaffee chaffee@emily.uvm.edu ____________________________
