Can anyone tell me how much of a speed increase you get with the resgistered version of ShapeShifter, preferbly if you have an A1200 with a 30 processor running at 50mhz. -- Martin Naylor

I don't have an A1200 - but I do have a A3000 with a 16MHz version of the 68030. I can tell you that once I moved the Mac disk from a FileDisk to a DeviceDisk (you can only do so if you register), the speed upon boot and any other disk access was orders of magnitude faster. Visual speed compares to my wifes Performa 475 (68040 @ 25 MHz). : -- : Martin Naylor jerry -- Jerry Heyman | jerry@arlut.utexas.edu O- Tactical Simulation Division | http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/~jerry/main.html Applied Research Laboratories of UT Austin | "Software is the difference P.O.

The program doesn't really incress in speed when it's registered, like say the Amiga PPP program for example. What it dose is to allow you to use the Amiga Partition or a while hard drive as a Mac Hard Drive. This is a 100 times faster then using a devicefile with the UnRegistered version. The Mac is always accing the HardDrive on every little thing you do, with a devicefile it's quite SLOW. Bootup is Sooooooooo Muchhhhhh faster with a Partition by FAR, and everything else is just like that. It's worth Registering. It's CHEAP!

I can't tell it quantitative, but hard disk access is _*MUCH*_ faster with the
registered version - especially on large partitions.
But besides speed: Don't you think, Shapeshifter is worth registering anyway?

Yes I will register , I think I will do it right now. -- Martin Naylor

Shape shifter is probably the best shareware program on any platform. I would not be surprised if it went commercial soon !!

I would not be surprised if it went commercial soon !! Hey! You want Apple's lawyers to skin alive poor Christian? :^) Seriously now, registering indeed does make a big difference: simply put, from being a clever, usable hack to becoming a full-fledged, powerful tool. Hey, a Macintosh for less than $100 Dlls.?? Now that's Moore's law working... :^) -- Victor Vargas G. Amiga 3D animation & video graphics/Mac DTP
