ATM has two files of the names: ~ATM 68000 and ~ATM 68020/030 Does the 68020/030 file expect a FPU to be on the machine? If so, then should there be an upgrade for the IIsi and the LC? It's a shame that Apple renigged on its promise that all 020/030 machines would have FPU's. Although ATM doesn't bomb, it appears to be a casualty of war. _____ Piper Keairnes ar4@sage.cc.purdue.edu (Purdue University)

Works like a charm. If this configuration is not working for you, I suspect you have either done something wrong (ie atm is not finding your outline fonts because you have them in a wierd place) or you have an init conflict of some sort. Hope this helps.

Has anyone seen this "promise" in writing from Apple? The only comments I've ever seen imply just the opposite, particularly the "check for features, not machines" that's stated again and again in Apple's programmer literature. Robert -- Robert K.

Well, here's the story. I have a IIci. My friend has a IIsi, and ATM 2.0 didn't work for him. ATM needs its outline font files in a folder with an open font file. MasterJuggler opens up font files so we tossed the ATM outline font files into a folder with a font file opened by MasterJuggler. Nada.. we turned off all INITs and it still didn't work. So with all the fuss about things not working without the FPU we thought that might be the problem (hence the post). Later we tossed the ATM files into the System folder and then ATM worked. Meaning MasterJuggler wasn't doing its job. Further investigation turned up that he was using v1.0 of MasterJuggler and not the most recent v1.5. End of story... thanks for the responses/flames. ;-) Apologies to Apple and ATM owners. _____ Piper Keairnes ar4@sage.cc.purdue.edu (Purdue University)
