LM_NET Colleagues,

  This message is also posted to EDTECH,
please forgive the duplication.

  We are having a problem with our computer
network and what we believe to be a conflict with
Foolproof. We have contacted Apple and
Smartstuff, but they have not been able to
solve the problem. Four of our elementary
schools have a Mac Fileserver on an AppleShare
network.  Each elementary school has a
Macintosh lab of 30 Macs (10 LC IIIs and
20 LC 550s.)  Each of approximately 25
classrooms has 1 to 2 Macs in it.  Every
Mac has FoolProof installed. Recently, we
have started to get the message "This Disk
Is Full" when students try to save their work
on the file server. The file server itself has
plenty of space to save to. Once we get this
message, it does not let us save to any
other place using "save as." We don't believe
this is a  problem with our file server because
the 4 schools that are having this problem
have different servers. Ours is a Workgroup 95,
and the other 3 are APS Harddrives.  We are also
running different types of Appleshare. Ours is
AppleShare Pro for A/UX, while the others are
running plain AppleShare.  There is no rhyme or
reason to this problem, it has happened on
ClarisWorks, Hyperstudio, small and large
documents, LCIIIs, LC 550s and even an
AV Mac 8100.  The only thing these computers
have in common is that they are all running
Foolproof.  There is a Technology teacher in
another school who has this message at
least 2 or 3 times a day on different computers.
Our students are losing all their hard work.
Apple has not been able to figure out this problem,
and we are trying to work with SmartStuff
(Foolproof's producer)  so far - no luck.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Any ideas on what to try?

TIA to super great group,
Connie and Helene, Instructional Technology
Specialist and super LMC partner (everyone
should be lucky enough to have one)
