Does anyone know where to find Cold Compress, an OS X compress GUI? I've been all over but no go. BTW, I need it for my brand new dual 1.25 gHz G4. Woo-hoo!

ColdCompress.app was the compressor; it makes tarballs via drag-and-drop. I haven't had this problem before, but I don't know if I've ever tarballed TIFFs, either. As far as I know, ColdCompress is a GUI for the tar and gzip command lines.

No, Preview can't open them, either, although the have all their data (they're huge 1200 dpi scans). I'm looking for a text solution, I believe: hacking the TIFF tag(s) with TextEdit (it can handle the big files) to get the file info back to something Photoshop/Preview can understand.

I've already done that. Photoshop insists that they're not TIFF files anymore, probably due to the missing resource forks. Any utilities out there for this situation?

I tarballed a folder with InDesign documents and Photoshop TIFFs in folders in it. The InDesign documents decompressed fine, but the TIFFs are no longer recognized by Photoshop, even after manually changing the extensions and creator codes. Any suggestions?

1. Bottom inside up. 2. Security chip in bottom. 3. Metal guard over bottom. 4. Disk in bottom. 5. Spring in bottom; clip on metal guard. 6. Top on bottom. 7. Hold together and fasten screws. Now, back to reformatting. I'm going to a friend's place where I...

It doesn't, at least not on my machine. BTW, Kinko's "Mac" not only failed to offer DOS formatting (no PC Exchange Control Panel), but it sucked (in every sense of the word) my disk in and wouldn't manually eject it. I got it, but the metal cover and spring popped off. Does anyone know how to...

No dice. I wish this bit of functionality was still present at the OS level. Oh, well, I'll hunt down and OS 9 box (they're getting hard to find) and use PC exchange. Thanks, people!

...device busy? Huh? It is not! !@#$% Iomega! [msp-**-**-***-***:/Volumes/Y] [username]% newfs_msdos /dev/disk1s9 newfs_msdos: /dev/disk1s9: Device busy

OK, so newfs_msdos /dev/disk0s1 makes a new filesystem on /dev/disk0s1 using the default parameters, which is fine with me. Does anyone know the command to see which disks have which disk numbers?

Which options? I just want regular DOS formatting like PC Exchange used to make.

What ever happened to PC Exchange?

Additionally, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, three of the four top-tier Adobe applications I own, can also import .ps files directly, although, obviously, each in its own way. To the best of my knowledge, Acrobat, the PDF editor, cannot, but this may not be entirely accurate; if it can, I...

.ps is PostScript; that is to say, the file that a PostScript output device can natively understand. It's also the type of file created when one "prints to file" from within a print dialog box. .pdf files are Portable Document Format files; they are, essentially, .ps files which carry the...

Javintosh: I deleted /users/[username]/Library/Mozilla and everything is fine now. Mozilla 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529) created an illegal character in the login file, but it's running great now. Thanks!

See the attached .jpg image. Any ideas? I just reinstalled Mozilla 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529) but it didn't fix the problem. Incidently, this problem zaps some, but not all preferences, every time Mozilla is quit and restarted, even if the...

Now the Mozilla preferences have been screwed up. I know this is from shutting the power off before the system has completely shut down. Anyone?

I have no firewall software on my Mac other than the standard BSD UNIX firewall. No, I can't ever get it to either shut down or restart; the screen just goes pale blue; the mouse is still there and the Command+Option+Escape key combination still brings up the force quit dialog box, but it...
