I just got my copy of sys 7.0 installed today but managed to get half of my inits/cdevs wiped out.. After reinstalling some of them, I haven't been able to get OnCue to work correctly.. And before you start yelling at me to just put alias's in my Apple Menu folder, I would rather not.. I prefer to keep the cdevs on the left and the apps on the right.. Is anyone else having any problems with OnCue.. MacUsers says that it's supposed to work.. The symptom is when I slide up to the menu bar where the OnCue Icon is, the system freezes and I have to do a manual re-boot. I have IIci 5 megs Real ram 7 megs VM. If you could leave me a post here as my normal login with my mailbox is down. Thanks... (I suppose you could leave me a post there, but I don't know when It'll be back up) /----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Joseph P.

I had the same problems with 1.3 crashing under 7.0, so I don't think the current version is compatible. I guess there's always the option of organizing aliases using folders in the Apple menu folder itself... William J.

The >symptom is when I slide up to the menu bar where the OnCue Icon is, the >system freezes and I have to do a manual re-boot. I have I wasn't able to get OnCue to work, alias or not. (alias helps only partially, the system is still liable to crash) MacUser is lying, the manufacturer says that OnCue is NOT compatible with 7.0. Upgrade is supposed to be available in several months.
