	Make sure you have Compact Pro version 1.32 or later.  The current 
version is 1.33.  Various bugs in unbinhexing should have all been fixed
in version 1.32.

Oh?  OS2 takes applications that were written to handle 
eight-character alphanumeric single-case file names
and modifies their code so that they can handle names 
that are 254 characters long?

68882 is pin-compatible with 68881, so it's pretty safe to swap the chips.
(Don't bend their legs, though)

Will you gain any increase in speed?  Hard to say, it depends on what
you will be running.  For word processor, no difference at all. For
complex CAD or rendering program, you will get significant boost.

BTW, what is HMMU?  In additional to using virtual memory, 
PMMU lets you run A/UX (Apple's UNIX) on Mac II.

Subject: AutoDoubler/Stuffit Spacesaver on fast machine with slow disk
Organization: The 23:00 News and Mail Service
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1992 22:02:38 GMT

Has anyone actually noticed *improved* performance using AutoDobuler or
Stuffit Space Saver on a fast machine with a slow disk?  The theory is
that the CPU can decompress the file in less time than it would take to
read the extra uncompressed data off of the disk.

I currently have an LC II with 80MB Quantum LPS drive and 50mhz 68030
PowerCache from Daystar Digital.  Soon (hopefully) I'll be upgrading to a 
33mhz 68040 PowerCache.  Would Autodoubler or Stuffit Space Saver
actually improve performance?  Which one of these two products would be
better, where performance is the main criterion rather than saved space?
(of course the overall performance increase depends on how much space
was saved in addition to decompression speed)

Can either or both of these products compress files that haven't been
created yet, before they're ever stored on the disk in uncompressed
form? 

Thanks,

Fellow mac users,

I have basically come down to 2.  Which do y'all think is better.  The Radius

It's funny, in the US, the Powerbook 100 is cheaper than EVERYWHERE else.
Up here in Canada, a Powerbook 100 4/40 is "on sale" at $1699-$1899 (prices
range with dealer), meanwhile the closest thing I got to a Powerbook 100
2/20 was a "demo" model going for $1300+ (all prices in Canadian dollars).
It's REDICULOUS!!!

SuperCard stack with the resources as being a hypercard stack! I know
that there are scripting commands to play a movie, but they seem too
confusing. Could somebody help me or simplify those scripting

Over the years I bought several...

Years ago a plus took two weeks. This was just before CHristmas in a
special bundle.

A few years later, an SE took nearly three months. This was ordered in
November and came the next Feb. The claim was that the SE was new and
was scarce.

Two years ago I ordered an SE/30 with a personal lw/sc  The SE/30 was to
have one floppiy drive, but no hard drive (I would add my own). The
lw/sc came in two weeks, but they wouldn't let me have it until the
SE/30 came. after two months they decided that Apple wasn't making any
more without the HD, so I had to pay extra to get that. By then they had
sold my LW/SC so I had to wait a week for another. What a mess. (BTW,
these were all purchased through different schools).

Bottom line, be prepared to wait.

Very interesting.  I bought my 3/40 in April 1991, exactly the period of time
you are talking about.  I wonder why it is that the bookstore here sold only
3/40 and 5/80 models while you could only get a 2/40 or 5/80.  One or both of
our dealers were messing with the RAM configurations.

The point remains, however, that the IIsi can use 512kB SIMMs for 3 MB total
RAM.

	Apple (I think it is Apple), sells an application called MacX.
I have successfully used it to display xclock on a Mac IIcx.

Oivind-

I'm not familiar with AccessPC.  Check the documentation to see if it has
"MacBinary" conversion capability.  Also check to see if there is a mention
of BinHex conversion capability.

If you download a program from the PC in binary format, MacBinary
conversion will restore it's Mac identity.  BinHex version 5 can do this as
well.

If you download an ".hqx" file using the ASCII format, you need BinHex
version 4 to restore it.  Recent versions of Compactor and Stuffit also
have this capability.

You're right about this being an FAQ.  However, no one has proposed a
simple solution to your common problem, other than to somehow acquire a
copy of one of the "key" programs needed to do the conversions.  Once you
get the first piece, you can download all the others.

Stuffit is available as a commercial program, "Stuffit Deluxe 2.0". 
Compactor is available as "Compactor Pro".  If you can't get what you need
otherwise, you may have to buy one of these.

On a Mac==>Mac transfer, use CompactPro. Just "Add" the 2.5Mb file into the
archive and "Save" it to floppy #1; CP will prompt you when the floppy is
full, asking for the destination of segment #2. Continue this process until
you're finished.

Voila!

My boss' PowerBook 170 won't print, and I can't figure out what the
problem is.  Here's the configuration:

PB 170 with a PowerPort/Gold modem and Envisio NDA/030 video card.
Running System 7.0.1 with most of the TuneUp 1.1.1 package (the actual
TuneUp extension does not work with the Envisio software), the
PowerPort fax software, and ARA.

Normal operations, printing via AppleTalk, ARA, and modem functions
all perform fine.  However, when I try to print to a direct-connect
printer (ImageWriter or Personal LaserWriter LS), it gives an error
message about not being able to find the printer.  I've turned off
AppleTalk, turned of ARA's "Answer calls" box, and chosen the printer
(hooked to the printer port), but I'm not sure what else I have to do.

Is there some sort of conflict that I'm overlooking?  Does anyone have
any suggestions?

Thanks,
David J. Whelan
