BUG: HardPressed in 'infinite loop'?
Andy,
I encountered something that may cause concern to HP users last night...
I set up HP to compress AppleWorksGS using LZSS, and last night, something came
up, so I ran AWGS. HP turned the border pink, indicating that it was busy
uncompressing AWGS, then a text error screen came up:
------------------HardPressed----------------------------
|"Received an unexpected error from GS/OS (disk is full)|
|while trying to expand the file: [#0506] |
|:CyberDisk2:Apps:AWGS:AppleWorksGS continue<- |
---------------------------------------------------------
When I pressed return to 'continue', my GS went back to the pink bordered screen
just like it was before the error...a few moments later, the same error message
comes up. Everything I try to do won't abort this 'infinite loop'. Seems like
HP keeps trying to expand AWGS even though it posts an error message. I was
not sure if I should do the three-fingered salute, in fear of corrupting AWGS,
or something. I finally took the plunge, after thumbing through the HP manual
and not finding anything corresponding to this.
The reason for my confusion is, that my system has PLENTY of room...here's my
system setup:
ROM 01 Apple IIgs (Upgrade from IIe)
TransWarp GS (Stock 7mHz, 8k cache)
Apple Rev. C SCSI Card
4 Meg Chinook RAM 4000
105 meg Quantum ProDrive in external case
2 partitions, CyberDisk1 is ProDos formatted, 30 megs, and has 16 megs free.
CyberDisk2 is HFS formatted, 70 megs, and has 15.3 megs free.
I have a 800k /RAM5 set up on my system.
I have Kangaroo v1.3 installed, but it hasn't given me any problems with HP
installed, and I set up HP to load in first, after seeing the reports of
possible conflicts between the two. And I also use HyperCard GS, but I've
not set HP up to compress ANYTHING inside my HCGS folder, due to those reports
of possible conflicts between HCGS and HP.
Gee, I know this is pretty detailed, but since I couldn't find anything in the
manual regarding this, and since I have plenty of room on my system to expand
AWGS, I can't figure out why HP acted like it did. Maybe you should put in a
'emergency button' to press to abort any compression/expansion processes of HP?
That would help greatly.
I hope you can help me out on this. I hope I've given you enough info. ;)
