Further to my recent (not so smooth) installation of MAC OS 8.1 on my
Performa 5200 (64MB Ram installed), I am experiencing difficulty with
MacLinkPLus v 9.0 (comes as standard with OS 8.1).

I can't seem to be able to get the translators to work. 

As per the instructions on disk, I make a copy of the Document Converter
and then double click on it.

Far from seeing a wide range of conversion options, the following are the
only options I get:

ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
Movie Player with MaclinkPlus Translation
PICT Document wih MaclinkPlus Translation
PICT Document with Quicktime Translation
RTF Document with MaclinkPlus Translation
Simpletext Document with Quicktime Translation
Sound with Quicktime Translation
Text Document with Quicktime Translation
TIFF with MacLinkPlus Translation


Yes, 12 options to convert to ClarisWorks Document!!

I have checked that all the component part are installed (although the
MaclinkPLUS for Easy Open extension is in the Extensions folder it doesnt'
appear in the Extensions Manager - why is this?). I have even re-installed
MacLinkPLus from the 8.1 CD - all with the same response as above. 

I am pillung out my hair here - can anyone more knowledgeable than me help?
It would be much appreciated.
