My newly updated version of Font/Sound Valet (thanks, Steve!) is
now giving me major troubles. Well, not THAT major, but...well,
let me describe them to you.
I unpacked a font file (packed previously with the "old" version
of Font/Sound Valet) and added about 200K of fonts to it, making
it almost 700K in size. No problem so far. The problems came
when I tried to re-pack the file.
F/SV got about a quarter of the way through before choking and
saying, "Could not finish packing because there is not enough RAM
for Font/Sound Valet or the system software." (not a direct quote
but quite close) Since this was on a 1 meg SE/30, I decided to
try it on the 4 meg //cx. Same message, both in MultiFinder and
UniFinder.
Since the Suitcase documentation says that if a file is partly
packed there is no damage to the file, I decided to unpack it on
my vanilla SE at home. Crash, boom, bang, both ID=01 (extremely
rare on an SE) and ID=02 after I clicked on the restart button.
I eventually needed to do a cold reboot.
So, what should I do? I tossed the file, but I can probably
recreate the problem since I have a backup of the original.
