I am having problems installing Smart Alarms 3.0.4 on my Mac IIci system. I installed everything as per the instructions. The Appointments DA works, but the SmartAlarms DA does not appear under the apple menu. None of the Smart Alarms folders are created. I have made sure that I have less than 15 DAs installed. I have removed ALL inits/cdevs without success. 8-( Anyone else have similar problems? solutions? My system consists of the following: Mac IIci 4mb RAM RasterOps ClearVue/GS 19" display system LaCie Cirrus 72mb disk Much mahalo (thanks) in advance... -- Robert S.

Yep, a friend is having similar problems only the machine is a IIsi. Numerous calls to tech support haven't helped. Solution is to abandon it and go with Alarming Events. -- Maurice INTERNET: lriggins@blackbird.afit.af.mil (129.92.1.2) Opinions expressed here do not reflect those of my employer nor constitute an official position of any U.S.Government agency.

I have not been following this discussion,but I thought I should mention my experiences with difficulties loading Smart Alarms. I found that no matter what I tried, Smart Alarms (SA) would beep at boot-up and not load. I found that my Mac's SYSTEM HEAP was to small for all the INITs and CDEVs I've been adding to it. To confirm this on your Mac,do the following: go to your desktop and pull down the Apple menu. Choose "About the Finder." Look at the thermometer bar next to the system. If it does not have atleast 30% of white space in it, then that is an indication that your system heap may not have enough memory to allow the loading of all your CDEVs and INITs at boot-up time! What you may need to do is increase the size of your system heap with the program "HeapFixer" by CE Software. Once you get HeapFixer, follow its instructions to increase your heap size. Re-boot, and see if your INIT loading problems go away. Good Luck. Jim Collymore

Where do I obtain HeapFixer from? I checked all of the major mail order places, but it is not listed anywhere. Is it part of a utilities package? Is there any public domain/shareware utility that will achieve the same effect? Thanks in advance... rob unokirs@mentor.cc.purdue.edu -- Robert S.

Thanks in advance... HeapFixer is a product of CE Software. Their phone number, in 1988 was (515) 224-1995. There are at least 2 PD/shareware utilities that I know of. Bootman is a freeware program. Heaptool is a shareware INIT/CDEV. Both are available on GEnie and should be available eleswhere. (or I'll email them on request) I tried email to you but it bounced. If I get enought requests, I'll post these to comp.binaries.mac (does nettiqutte allow shareware there?) -- ------------ ------------ ---------------------- Ben Liberman USENET magik@chinet.chi.il.us GEnie,Delphi MAGIK

HeapFixer is a utility by CE Software and is shipped with many of their packages (i.e., QuickMail, QuicKeys 2, etc.) and not as a standalone product. If you don't own any of their software, there is an equivalent called BootMan which does exactly what HeapFixer does plus more. You should be able to find BootMan at sumex or on any of the online services such as America Online, CompuServe, GEnie and AppleLink. John -- John A.
