I'd really love to have a copy to beta-test, because right now I _can't_ run Compactor 1.2.1. Why? Because I run A/UX, and Compactor doesn't work under A/UX (it crashes in the Add... command). I hope that Compactor 1.3 fixes this problem. Fortunately, self-extracting archives do work. Admittedly, A/UX is a very small segment of Compactor's audience; however, the programs that don't work under A/UX now are likely to be the ones that die under newer Systems (7? 8?) that enforce 32-bit cleanliness. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
