[comp.sys.apple2] Transprog weirdness

prophet@oxy.edu (Dale Bruce LaFountain) (05/11/91)

I have been playing around with Transprog, an application linker/init/thingy
from a French group.  Last night, I was transferring between applications
by selecting different applications from the 'rhomb' menu, and things seemed
to be working well.  Then for some reason I opened the Control Panel NDA,
and I received the message 'Not enough memory to open Control Panel, Please
try closing some windows.'  I found this strange, since I now have 2.25 megs
of RAM, so I pressed OA-Ctrl-Esc to see the status of my ramdisk.  It turns
out that my GS thought that I had 9854k of RAM and 94xxk of it was in use!!!
When I played around with the ramdisk settings, it froze.

I did a four-fingered salute (self-test) and everything was fine.  I haven't
yet reproduced this problem, but I thought it was rather strange.  Has anyone
else out there played around with TransProg much?

I'm also enjoying the new Transwarp GS Setup Cdev and Font-DA Installer that
are included on the Transprog disk.  The TWGS Cdev has many settings,
including default and current speed settings, cache purging, etc.  The Font-
DA mover acts just about like the Macintosh-based mover: Loads or removes
any NDA, CDA, or Font (only if the Font Manager is active, of course).
It even works with DA's that have Resource forks (unlike the current Carpet
Bag NDA).

This disk is currently available in the uploads directories of
tybalt.caltech.edu and apple2.archive.umich.edu.

Any help on the above question would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.  What's the deal with the influx of French software these days?  Or is
       it finally just filtering down to us from the pay services?
