Just to throw in my 2 cents worth... when I have AutoArk installed, I have
trouble getting anything to launch most of the time... as long as i stick
aroun in the finder and use DA's move files, compress and expand files, I"m
find, but if I try to launch Soniqtracker 6.01 or Proterm or AWGS or ModZap
(Yes Ian... MZ too! =-D) the window zooms out and I get the wondrous system
beep...

This may merely be due to the fact taht I have a veritable plethora of
inits, da's, cdevs, and fext's installed, but I do still have 2200k free
(ala Chronos2) so memory isnt' the problem...


has anyone else had similar difficulties?
