The problem that I observe is NOT, repeat NOT, with Pyro! !!!!!!!
When I use MacCompress2.1 to COMPRESS a file, the system reboots ALWAYS.
At first, I had Pyro!, Suitcase, and Vaccine loaded, but I removed them
one by on and the problem occurs EVERY TIME I try to compress a file, but
does not occur when decompressing files.
System configuration tested: Plus w/ external 400K drive, System 4.2,
Finder 6.0. I did these tests with my HD off line (I'm not crazy 8^) ).
It seems to me that it is MacCompress2.1 that is at fault, NOT Pyro! !!!
Sign me skeptical,
