Can't install (some conflict with 9600, OS8)
Michele O'Hagan
Version: NDD Pro 1.1
Application: DiskDoubler
Operating system: System 8.0
On installing NDD Pro 1.1 on my new Powermac 9600, there is some
terrible conflict and I had no choice but to remove it.
Your book says there is an option to custom install (I only wanted
Disk Doubler & Copy Doubler), but when I put the floppy in, I only
get an install button and all the elements are loaded.
Please help ASAP as I have many files archived with an older version
of DD and urgently need to access them.

Hello Michele O'Hagan,
Norton DiskDoubler Pro is incompatible with and unsupported under OS
8.x. We have no plans to make changes to NDD Pro that will alter or
increase the existing, limited functionality but we do appreciate your
comments. Below are some notes about running NDD Pro under OS 8.x.
Keep in mind, however, that we do not recommend running NDD Pro with OS
8.x and we do not provide support for the configuration.
-CopyDoubler no longer works under OS8 and must be removed.
-The DiskDoubler(DD) Finder menu no longer works under OS8 and must be
removed.
-AutoDoubler (AD) works with the following caveats: it no longer
decompresses in the background. Instead, when AutoDoubler compressed
files are double-clicked, it will call the Disk Doubler (DD) program and
expand the file through that program in the foreground. Also, files
compressed automatically with AutoDoubler must be decompressed before
being copied to another volume. NOTE: Files compressed with the
DiskDoubler application will copy fine. Files expanded in this manner
won't automatically re-compress immediately after being closed, but they
will re-compress automatically when they fall under the set AD scheduled
compression time.
-DiskDoubler Expand (a freeware expander included with the Norton Disk
Doubler Pro program) continues to function under OS8 and can expand
files compressed with AutoDoubler or DiskDoubler (including archives or
.sea files).
-The DiskDoubler application can still create .sea or archive files but
you must run DiskDoubler manually rather then rely on the DD Finder menu
extension (as mentioned above).

Thanks for the quick reply. What do I need to do in order to
decompress my archives?
