[comp.sys.mac] MacWrite bug? Stuffit problem...

cs451128@usl-pc.UUCP (Thompson Gary A) (02/29/88)

MacWrite 4.5 has been acting strangely lately.  Quite often (but not always) 
when I start a new document, the ruler is graduated in centimeters rather than
inches.  I can open an old document and the rulers will once again be displayed
properly.  Has anyone had this problem and/or knows how to solve it?

Also, can Stuffit be run on a 512K Mac with the old, 64K ROMs?  When I try to
unstuff something I get an ID=17 bomb (can't locate package), suggesting it's
looking for something I ain't got... This has happened with versions 1.10 and
1.20 (I haven't seen 1.31 on GEnie yet).  Any help would be appreciated.

I use Stuffit all the time on my 512k Mac, old ROMs.  No problem.  I've used
version 1.10 and 1.20.  I am now using 1.31 and that works fine too.

Are you missing a resource from your system file?  Try using a different
boot disk....(just a suggestion).
