KIU relaunches applications that crash, it can restart the Mac on a regular basis and it can monitor free memory and disk space. It also allows you to remotely manage and monitor your Mac (server) using a webbrowser. KIU automounter will automatically (re)mount Appleshare volumes on your desktop. The primary function of KIU is to automatically relaunch applications if for some reason they stop running (crashes, accidental quits,...). KIU can also restart your Mac on a regular basis, which may improve the "health" of the applications. =46or remote management purposes, KIU has a tiny "embedded" webserver (running on a port of your choice) that allows you to remotely perform many functions such as: restarting the mac; view, kill or restart running applications; launch applications; run Applescripts; view logfiles generated by applications ... KIU can send e-mail messages to you, actively alerting you of important events such as : free memory or free disk space falls below a certain preset level; an application gets relaunched; KIU restarts the Mac ... Keep-It-Up Classic is designed for use with MacOS 7, 8 and 9. Version 2.5 adds lots of improvements, most notably the KIU automounter, which can automatically mount Appleshare volumes at startup and remount these volumes if your Mac gets disconnected from the Appleshare server. KIU is $22 shareware (payment using Kagi).

Usuall, rebuilding the desktop file solves this kind of problems. You have to hold down the Option an dthe Command key during startup until the Mac asks you if you really want to rebuild the desktop file. However, I probabbly do not correctly understand your problem. Do you really want to open PDF files with the PDF-creation application? If they are double-clicked they should open Acrobat Reader, not Distiller or Writer. Best wishes, Christian. -- Christian F.

Can you help me? You have probably not copied over ALL of the Microsoft files and folders from your old system folder. It is difficult to transfer a piece of software from one system to a new one and not forgetting some (more or less important) needed parts. It's probably easier to install everything new from the original floppies or CDs. If you still have access to the old computer, you could connect the two together and then copy over the old system folder to the new computer, delete the finder and system files from the old system folder (to make sure the Mac does not become confused about having to system folders on the same partition). Then you can go and look whether the missing file is there, and drag it to the approptiate location in the new system folder. But, as I said, this is not the easy way. Maybe, on a G4 you are even better off using a newer version of MS Office (I'm using Office 98 on a G3 with OS 9). Word6 is part of Office 4.something which worked well with MacOS 7.5.5 or 7.6.1. I am not sure whether it can be used without problems on a G4. Good luck, Christian. -- Christian F.
