Hi. I have a little problem. On my 1 Meg SE/HD20 system, I can't manage
to install more than 15 DAs! Why? Is there any way to get around this and
plug in DAs to my heart's content?`
Thanks,
----Sascha

Just in case there is a line eater out there............... Yes, Apple imposed a limit of 15 Da's thru the Font/DA mover. There are several solutions to this problem, Double Apple, Da Switcher...But the BEST solution is a product called SUITCASE from Software Supply, in sunnyvale Ca. If you look back a couple of days in this notes group for any references to Suitcase, Pyro or Powerstation, somebody gave the address and phone number of where to order. Essentially, Suitcase is an INIT that you put in the system folder along with a folder called DAs that may contain up to 10 DA files. In side of the Da files you can have however many DA's Apple allows you to place in a DA file. Suitcase reads these files on booting up your Mac and loads them into the Desk accy menu ALONG WITH the 1-15 DAs you might already have loaded into your system. In addition, SUITCASE will let you load das from da files on the fly. It does the same thing for FONTS as well, but thats another story. I highly recommend it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- David Williams at Hewlett Packard, Cupertino CA Hypercard Jedi in Training

It also does fonts and fkeys. Suitecase allows you to keep DAs/Fonts/Fkeys in files other than the system file, and gives you access to them as if they were in your system file. It also comes with a pretty awesome screen saver called Pyro. There are also patches which you can make to Font/DA Mover to let it install more than 15 DAs, but I think that's just asking for trouble.
