While in the lab on the panther e-macs (OS 10.3.8) and (AW6.2.9) the students save to their home directory on the Panther server via AFP. They then go to an imac running OS9.2.2 AW 6.2.8. The OS 9 machines use MacManager but save to the same home directory. If there is only text in the Doc, whether it is a db, spreadsheet, or word processing, it will open up and work just fine. They can save their docs on the imac, go to the lab and open it under the Panther e-macs.

It just seems that when an image is iinvolved that the os9 machines will lock up (no cursor movement). I suspect that there is some problem with how the OS's interpret the graphics.


We have a similar arrangement in our school, and it works very well. One thing I would check is to make sure that AppleWorks on OS9 has lots of RAM allocated to it. The default RAM for OS9 is rather low if I remember correctly. I'd increase it to 20 MB or so. RAM allocation is not an issue with OSX as the application uses whatever amount of RAM it needs (assuming it is available - including virtual memory, which is a whole different issue).
