Help!
I downloaded and de-binhexed QuickerGraf, but I can't get it to load.
To answer the obvious questions, yes, I did drag it into the
system file, and, yes, I did reboot (several times). It still
doesn't get loaded at boot time (INIT), or show up in the control
panel (cdev). Machine config:
Mac 128K
Levco 2 Meg `Monster Mac'
ROM/Drive upgrade (128K ROMs)
68010 processor
CMS 80 Meg SCSI
MultiFinder (System Tools 5.0)
Tons of INITs -- too many to list
After I downloaded and de-hexed it, I noticed that it had a "generic"
document icon. Checking with ResEdit, I found that the bundle bit
was not set, so I set it. I also noticed that QuickerGraf contained
a 'cdev' resource, and an 'INIT' resource (just to confirm that they
were there).
I did try removing ALL other INITs and cdevs from my system folder,
and rebooting. No luck. I also tried with MultiFinder turned off.
Again, nothing. And, I tried all combinations of above. None of
these would get QuickerGraf to load.
Anybody got any suggestions?

Machine config: > Mac 128K Here's the problem. QuickerGraf is a version of QuickDraw that is optimized for the 8-bit depth case. Thus, it only works with Color QuickDraw. Thus, it will only load/show up in Control Panel on a Mac II. -- David W.

Very simple answer: QuickerGraf is for Mac IIs and other multibit deep display machines. It doesn't work on non Mac IIs. Toss it out, it's a waste for your machine setup. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Alexander M.

I can imagine that QuickerGraf doesn't want to load. You see, it only
speeds up Mac IIs in 8-bit color mode. I don't think your machine
supports 8-bit color. QuickerGraf can't improve the performance of
machines with black/white displays, or monochrome quickdraw.

This terminology perpetuates a false rumor: QuickerGraf does work in monochrome mode, but only 8-bit monochrome mode. If you have a Mac II with a monochrome monitor, QuickerGraf will still help you.
