I just received the Lightspeed (Think, whatever) Pascal 2.0 upgrade a few days but it seems to have a bug. When I select the source options item on the edit menu to customize the edit window, and select Fonts, I get an alert saying ...critically low on memory, please save and quit ASAP. This is OK, but it has a 1MB partition under MultiFinder, and the Finder shows about 2/3 free! I'm running System 6.0.2 on a 2.5MB SE with a few inits: Stepping Out II, Suitcase II, Quickeys. Any known problems with this setup?? I do notice that the pop-up menus don't display correctly with Stepping Out II. As always, thanks. Rich

We haven't tested Pascal 2.0 with Stepping Out, but I will make a note to do so. In-house, we tested Pascal with a variety of background packages, including Suitcase and QuicKeys, and I use it with Suitcase II every day; it could wellbe an interaction with Stepping Out. Try removing it and see how that works. --Rich Rich Siegel Staff Software Developer THINK Technologies Division, Symantec Corp.

>>a 1MB partition under MultiFinder, and the Finder shows about 2/3 free! > How much memory the Finder has is irrelevant. No! I didn't make myself clear. I meant that there is 2/3 (i.e. 2/3 of a megabyte) free in the LSP partition. >>I'm running System 6.0.2 on a 2.5MB SE with a few inits: Stepping Out II, >>Suitcase II, Quickeys.

Okey-dokey. I'll try removing Stepping Out, but it is a phenomenally useful widget; it would be nice if LSP could work and play well with others. LSC works just fine with Stepping Out, BTW. > --Rich Thanks... Rich, too.
