Re: Loopy G3
Thanks to those who offered suggestions on the G3 with the looped printer cable. I couldn't help but smile at Onno's suggestion that the looped cable be removed first. Reminded me of an old cookbook that stated: To make a rabbit stew, first catch the rabbit. I guess one shouldn't assume too much when dealing with other people's problems. Anyhow, I had already rebuilt the directory (MacOS 9.2.1), tried various startup procedures (including Extensions Off), run Disk First Aid, zapped the PRAM, booted from a CD and quietly cursed. None of those seemed to do much good. The startup always froze after the first icon appeared. The only variation was to sometimes see the error message system failure ... illegal instruction. I guess it's Number 5 then. :-( Vlad James -- Onno's suggestions I'd start with removing the cable. Then I'd do the following in order: 1. I'd startup with the shift-key down. 2. If that fails, I'd start with a boot-CD. 3. If that fails, I'd zap the pRAM and try #1, then #2, then #4. 4. If that fails, I'd locate the motherboard reset button, press that and try #1, #2, #3, #5. 5. I'd call it a hardware failure and send it to my friendly Apple Store.
Address Book Sub Groups
Howdy all, Just wondering if there's a way to create sub-groups in Address Book (3.0.3 v225). At the moment I have it set up like this Bands Family Friends Music What I'd like to have is something along the lines of... Family Friends Music -Bands -Print Media -Radio -and so forth I can create new groups and drag them into other groups, but it ends up a little like so... Family Friends Music -Bands -Print Media -Radio -And so forth Bands Print Media Radio And so forth Which is ok, but not really what I'm after. Anyone know if it's possible to do what I want? Cheers!

CVS
Hi all, I've just been banging my head against a wall all weekend and wondered if there was a better way. Please bear in mind when you respond that while I'm an experienced developer, I've only been using CVS for a week. Here's what I have: A directory with software that I wrote. Each version of the software is in its own directory, eg. v0.1, v0.2, etc, all told 18 versions. Here's what I want: A CVS repository showing the history of my software development. This is what I've tried: Using cvs import, to import the new version. This works really well and all of the files just do their thing, however, it does not remove or move any files as they did during the development process. What I end up with is a hierarchy that contains all files I've ever used - of course they have a history each, but there are files visible in v0.18, that were removed in v0.12 I then created a script to manually add/remove files as appropriate, but if you remove a file, it's gone, and when you re-add it, it's a new file with no history. I looked at mcvs which promised to do all of the above with no problems, however while the software looks like it might work, it doesn't come with nearly enough documentation, and it isn't compatible with CVS, so I cannot use lincvs to actually develop software. I've found that looking at the history of my code is very enlightning, but how do I create a sandbox that only has the files in it that are part of v0.x, and not all the others? Here's hoping that one of you uses CVS every day and know how to make this work...
