Drive clicking? I have been using various versions of software
declickers so long I couldn't tell you. BTW, I'm using Nick Wilson's
NoClick program and it works fine under 2.1. Hard drive access time
seems very quick to me, did you upgrade directly from 1.3? If so,
you are probably running the hard drive under the old fast file
system. Now, whether you can change this I'm not really sure, since
your system needs to run under both 1.3 and 2.1. The best bet is to
call whoever made your HD interface and ask them.
As for the prefs, well, I'm not sure what is the best way to do what you
want. The problem is that the path to ENVARC: is predefined, and that is
where the pref programs write their settings. It is not, however, where
your system is set up to keep them. O.K., try this:
1. Make the drawer dh0:prefs
2. Copy (all) the drawer dh0:WB21/prefs/env-archive to dh0:prefs
3. Change (again) the line Copy >NIL: dh0:WB21/prefs/env-archive: RAM:ENV
ALL NOREQ *to* Copy >NIL: dh0:prefs/env-archive RAM:ENV ALL NOREQ
I don't know if you made any typos when you wrote this in your
message, but be sure there is no ":" after the "env-archive". Try
changing the beep again and let me know how it goes, this one might
really work. (crossing fingers) <G>
