Install from NCU in Classic. I've tried Escale a few times but found it
unreliable at best. So, I gave up and uses NCU whenever I need to backup or
install new packages.

padded cell: n. Where you put lusers so they can't hurt anything. A program
that limits a luser to a carefully restricted subset of the capabilities of
the host system (for example, the `rsh(1)' utility on USG Unix). Note that
this is different from an iron box because it is overt and not aimed at
enforcing security so much as protecting others (and the luser) from the
consequences of the luser's boundless naivete (see naive). Also `padded cell
environment'.
