  1. This info should work for me, thanks. But for some reason I can not 'get info' on anything anymore. It may be a matter of reinstalling the MAC 9.5 OS. I'm signing up for a 30 day trial for my 2018 MAC mini. But there is no way I can spend the kind of money they want for a new version. Anyone have ideas as to what freeware might be able to help me get at these old files, if the OS reinstall doesnt work? Thanks for the help from all. Tom
  2. I had a hard drive crash and had to replace it on my old G-4 power MAC.with 466 MHz processor. I had to reinstall the software, and the highest version I have now is VectorWorks 8.5.1. anyone know where I could get any of the old updates? Now many of the files I created with my old version, when I try and open them, gives me a message that I need more memory to open them. Some open fine, but more detailed once wont open. I remember there was someplace to allocate more memory to VW, but I am unable to locate it. I have the max memory in the G-4, 1.5GB, and the only app, other than the system software, is the VectorWorks application. Are there any old timers around who might be able to help me get to the area to change the memory allocation on my old MAC? I'm 76 YO and never was able to buy newer versions of VW to work on my newer computers (over the years) as I retired from the business years ago, and was able to do everything I want , until I had to replace the drive. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
  3. That would be for portioning the drive. I vaguely remember having to allocate memory size, by selecting the program and changing the size there, not in disk utility. Also, after downloading both the hqx and bin files, I can't open them on my new system because it says it can't find the application that created it. I get the same message on my old G-4 when I try and open it there. What am I missing? Thanks for any additional help or directions to find some of the answers to this 'relic' of a computer I am using. I would love to see how fast my work won be on a new system, but I'm very happy with the one I have.....
  4. Thanks, I'll download this and see. Can you help with finding where to increase the partition size?
  5. I just replaced my drive on an old MAC G-4 and had to reinstall from the discs. I lost any updates that I was able to download many years ago. 1. I would like to update as far as I can on this version, 2. with the reinstall, I lost all of my settings and do not remember where to go to 'increase the portion size' that comes up during some operations. I have a G-4 ruining Mac OS 9.2.1 with built in memory of 1.5 GB. Does anyone know of where I can find the info that I need? Thanks in advance. I'm retired and don't need to spend a lot of money to dabble with a fun program that I have created many symbols over the years.
