The very first time I tried PackIt II I was cured. It has a SIZE -1 resource
specifying that it only needs 100K to run. Very nice. I ran it as such,
under Switcher 4.6, and it *consistently* bombed on the second MouseDown.
At the time I was running HFS on 64K ROMs with an HD20.
It ran properly when not under Switcher. It ran partially if I gave it a
larger partition (I tried 128K and 200K). Partially = works for a while and
then bombs in the middle of doing something.
If a program won't work, I won't use it, let alone pay for it. No PackIt II
for me...
