Hello, Recently, I tried to a DA to my system file, and had the size of the file go from ~300k to well over seven megabytes! I thought this might have something to do with the DA in question, so I left it in its own suitcase (as I use Suitcase II). Later, though, this happened as I tried to update my system to 6.0.4 (it's 6.0.2 now). I'll probably just throw away the whole mess and install 6.0.4 to the hard disk just as if it were blank, but out of curiosity, why would this happen? Anyone else have it occur? (Oh yeah: Mac Plus, 2.5 Meg, Jasmine 70 meg drive (sigh...), way too many inits to list :-). thanks, chris sterritt Chris Sterritt - chris@adms-rad.unisys.com - "Save the Dot-Sig" President -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help Save the Dot Sig! (Even though they're not vanishing!). Please send your (and others!) signature files to me, and I will collect them. When I have approximately 600 megabytes of them, I will have FREE CD-ROMs made of them and send one to each submitter's home address. (Along with a bill for $150.00 shipping and handling). Get in on volume one now, before the rush! --------------------------------------------------------------------------
