The very first time I tried PackIt II I was cured.  It has a SIZE -1 resource
specifying that it only needs 100K to run.  Very nice.  I ran it as such,
under Switcher 4.6, and it *consistently* bombed on the second MouseDown.
At the time I was running HFS on 64K ROMs with an HD20.

It ran properly when not under Switcher.  It ran partially if I gave it a
larger partition (I tried 128K and 200K).  Partially = works for a while and
then bombs in the middle of doing something.

If a program won't work, I won't use it, let alone pay for it.  No PackIt II 
for me...
