I've solved my other gs-shrinkit problems by getting gs-shrinkit v1.0.3 from brownvm apple2 list and system disk 5.0.3 but now this thing just hangs right after putting up the menu bar. The watch appears, a bell goes off, and it freezes. I have a Rom 1 apple 2gs , 1 3.5 inch and 1 5.25 drives, 1.25 meg of memory with an avatex 1200 modem and an imagewriter II. 1736 burcham drive e. lansing mi 48823 517-337-2267 P.s I'm leaving on Dec 12, so puuhhhllleeassee help me!!!

In-Reply-To: message from magras@cpsin2.cps.msu.edu I have also been having some problems with the new shrinkit... I think you need rom 3.. Not sure though.. Is there any BIG difference between 1 and 3??? At school you can not rut paintworks plus on the rom 3... So.. That makes it useless to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ProLine: jon@pro-ice | Jon Spatz (jon) | Do you fall Internet: jon@pro-ice.cts.com | pro-ice.cts.com | asleep on the UUCP: crash!pro-ice!jon | (215)/562-4928 | toilet while ARPA: crash!pro-ice!jon@nosc.mil | 300 to 9600 Baud | eating OREO's? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have Rom 3, and I still have learned not to trust GSHK very far.
I probably should sent a bug report, because this seems to be happening
with every version I get of GSHK.
Namely, it seems like the quit routine is flaky. Somehow, whenever I
try to quit normally from that program, there's a 50-50 chance it will
crash. Not only will it crash, but it will wipe out the Ramdisk as well.
I've had a couple times I've downloaded something into Ramdisk, used
GSHK to unshrink it into Ramdisk, and quitted, only to have the system
reboot and wipe out both the archive and the unpacked files.
These days I often just give the three-fingered salute to get out of GSHK.
The ramdisk doesn't get blown that way.

I don't know if he has time to read this group at Apple, but I do know that he would appreciate a report if you are using the most current version of GSHK. _______________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Gentry * ALPE AFL Scott * I never said that!| | 2051 Mercator Drive * GEnie W.GENTRY * But you never | | Reston, VA 22091 * UUCP: uunet!ingr!ne1300! * know! | | (703) 264-5652 * brnded!scott * Do You? | |_____________________________________________________________________________|

Folks, blaming GSHK is not the answer--I have GSHK 1.0.3 running on both a ROM 1 and a ROM 3 system, and I know Andy uses it on a ROM 3 here at work and a ROM 1 at home. It WORKS RELIABLY! There's *something* wrong with your download, or some DA or Init is messing you up, or maybe you don't have 5.0.x installed quite right. In any case, if it "bonks" during launch, type Ctrl-T Return and post what the screen says. Sounds like it crashed into the monitor, but I want to know exactly how! -- David A.
