For some reason, the program slows down so much it is absolutely unusable. (I'm not talking about the normal, reasonable slowdown that occurs with virtual memory.) I would almost suspect something other than Virtual, but if Virtual is the *ONLY* thing removed from the system configuration, Redux 1.62 works fine. I've not noticed any other programs that have trouble with Virtual. One other question. Is Apple's Virtual Memory Init (1.0d10) set up to work only with 7.0 or above? It's definitely no-go with 6.0.4 on a IIcx. Dave Barnhart NCR Cooperative Computing Systems Division 3245 Platt Springs Rd.
