Has any one encounter problems with Compactor Pro self extracting files under
System 7?  

I used to have problems under 6.0.7, but I ignored them.  Now, under System 7.0,
I find that I get an alert "application wants 0K of memory.  0K available. Do
you wish to open application with available memory"?

If I click OK (or Yes, whaterver), I get an error that the application quit
because of lack of memory. If I try to edit the Get Info application size, it
first of all takes about 3 minutes for the Get Info to appear, and then it will
not let me save the changes (not enough memory, please close applications and 
windows).

Any ideas?  I am using a Mac IIci with no extensions other then the Systems
, CD-ROM 3.1, and MacTCP.

THank you,

Jason
