I'm trying to get the Projector to cooperate on my IIci. I am running system 6.0.4 and MPW 3.0. My programming tutor, Dave O'Rourke, and I were trying to get Projector to run a couple of weeks ago, with no luck. I realize this is somewhat vague, but in hopes of this being a previously reported bug, or that we didn't weren't holding our mouths right, I thought I'd go ahead and post it anyway. So. Is there some irreparable conflict between the IIci, system 6.0.4 or my University with Projector? Is there a fix? In the same vein, I want to ask a question. I'm switching over from Turbo Pascal to MPW. When my code is compiled in Turbo, it works OK (except for known bugs). When I compile it in MPW, I then get a bus error when doing text editing (cut and paste, specifically). The only differences in the code are due to the syntactical peculiarities of each compiler (primarily exit calls). Is there something I need to do besides getting it to compile? a baffled undergrad Disclaimer et la Signaturo: Hell no, I'm not responsible for what I say! If everyone were responsible for what they said, we'd have had a balanced budget in 1984.

There is no problem that I've heard of from any of our developers, and I haven't experienced any problems myself. If you could be more specific, perhaps we could narrow down the problem to something else. In projector's case, it could easily be the case that you aren't holding your mouth right... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions

I might mention a problem we have been experiencing at work for several months now, and finally last week got Apple Holland to forward a question about it to DTS. We had very bizarre behaviour using Projector over EtherTalk 1.2 on AppleShare 2.0 servers. Most of the time things would work OK. BUT, at a rate that we could not find any factor for despite trying a lot, it would sometimes lose characters when checking out. That is, we would do a checkin and checkout right after each other (yes, I know about checkin -m) and the resulting file would be missing characters. Often entire sections. The version on the server would sometimes be missing them too. Using a different AppleShare disk resulted in _different_ behaviour, but it still went wrong sometimes. Using LocalTalk, however, had NO problems. This effect happened far more frequently on a IIcx than a II, but I peronally have doubts about that making a difference. Worse, this happened far more frequently in one room/project, while people in the other room (different project, same server & network) had no problems. There are so many variables in this it's difficult to start tracing it down. -cbb Disclaimer: I would never speak for KPMG Klynveld even if offered the chance.
