Subject: Where can I get a hold of MacTCP?
Keywords: MacTCP
Organization: CERN European Lab for Particle Physics
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1992 11:32:43 GMT

[Forgive me if this is a "newbie" question ... I am still relatively
new to the Mac system management game.]

We have a few Macintoshes connected to our ethernet.  In the past they
were only used for telneting into our main computers, so we did not
need MacTCP.

I now have some software (the Univ. of Utah's Mac-to-Unix backup
software) which requires MacTCP.  Unfortunately, I am not sure where
to get a hold of this product.  Is it sold commercially?  Is it on the
network disks? (If so, I haven't seen it)  Can it be downloaded
anonymously from some FTP site?

I have looked through all the relevant Mac and ethernet board manuals,
but have had no luck in finding out where to get MacTCP.  I would
appreciate it if someone in the know could send me email (i.e. don't
post, please) with the answer enclosed.  I will be happy to forward
any email I receive to others with the same question.

Thanks in advance for any help!

HELP! I have 9 megs of RAM & I followed the above advice & HALF OF THE
APPLE MENU ICON DISAPPEARED! It reappears when I click on the icon &
disappears when I let go of the button.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there some specific
extension that is causing this problem?

From what I understand, Heap Fixer isn't supposed to be run with 7.0.
From what I understand, the heap grows and shrinks dynamically in 7.0.

Try re-installing your system software.  On an 8 meg machine, you
should be able to run ResEdit!  What extensions are you running on
your machine?  Things that take up lots of memory?

Do "About this Macintosh."  What does it say for "Largest Unused Block?"

When you say the System file is 2MB, do you mean disk size (which
is virtually meaningless) or memory size?  "System Software" in the
About this Macintosh window is System + Finder, by the way.

Something is definitely wrong.  I'd say check for viruses, and reinstall
your system software.  If ResEdit won't run, do a Get Info on it
and make sure it's allocated enough memory.  Don't bother with
HeapFixer.

I have a Mac IIci with 8MB of memory running 6.0.5 that has just
decided not to allow me to run any Desk Accessories while running
under Multifinder.  When I switch it to Finder, the DA's run just
fine.  

I have tried rebuilding the System file, removing and adding all
of my DA's and everything else I can think of to get it to work
(short of replacing the system file -- which I am hesitant to do).

If anyone knows of a fix, or has any suggestions, I would appreciate
hearing from them.

One of the Now Utilities, whose name slips my mind, will let you rearrange your 
font menu, to put fonts you use frequently up at the top.  Suitcase (or Master 
Juggler) will let you cluster your fonts into suitcases and turn them on or off 
easily, so that you don't have to sort through Cyrillic fonts, for example, for 
documents that are only English.  Either or both of these should be helpful.  I 
don't know of any extension that is exactly what you are asking for.

The Note Pad provides the equivalent functionality to the named buffers in vi,
but with less convenience.  You can't ask for Note Pad pages by name, and you
have to cut and paste onto them to save things there, and copy and paste off
of them to put things back in your document.  What vi has would be equivalent
to being able to give a Note Pad page number when you copy or paste something,
so that it goes directly to that Note Pad page without your having to click on 
the note pad, click to the page you want, and paste it in.

Well, I like them too.  The point is that word processors like MSW aren't the
the be-all and end-all of text editing on the Mac.  The fact that you had to
drag Think C's editor in on your side of the 'my program is better than yours'
argument makes this point clearly.  'Programming editors' are complementary
to word processors, not competitive with them.  I interpreted the original
poster's request for a Mac port of vi to be motivated by his desire for a
programming-type editor, that supported features like those in my list, and
so I suggested Alpha; every other responder to that original post simply 
scoffed at the request.

Three former Cornell students, who had been facing a total of forty computer
tampering and related charges in connection with the creation and release of
the MBDF virus affecting Macintosh computers this February, struck a
plea-bargain agreement here in Ithaca yesterday.

David Blumenthal and Mark Pilgrim, each of whom had been facing felony first
degree computer tampering charges, pleaded guilty to one count each of
second degree computer tampering, a misdemeanor.  Randall Swanson pleaded
guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct.  Swanson was not
originally implicated in the case when the virus was traced to Blumenthal
and Pilgrim, but was charged this summer.  

None of the three are currently enrolled for the fall semester at Cornell
University.  While the University is prohibited by federal law from
revealing the outcome of disciplinary action against students, unofficial
word has it that some of the students have been expelled from the
University, and the other(s) suspended for at least one year.  A 27 August
memorandum from William Streett, the Dean of Cornell's College of
Engineering, referred to an unnamed group of students who had been charged
with violating Cornell's Code of Academic Integrity "as a result of improper
and unauthorized use of computers and network systems."  Streett said that
the punishments in these cases "include expulsion and suspension for a year
or more."  The memo went on to remind students of their responsibility in
maintaining academic integrity standards in their computer use, and
suggested that students with special talents in computing and network
systems "put these to constructive use by tutoring other students or through
volunteer work with one of the local social service agencies."

Hello -

I'm having a bit of a problem with a file I uploaded to the WELL over a
year ago and seems to have taken on a life of its own on the Internet.

   I'm being attacked by killer BinHex files!  Over a year ago I 
uploaded a PICT-format file of a cyberspace scene that can be used as 
a desktop for the Macintosh.  It has little ports drawn in where the 
diskette icons show up, etc..  The original was designed for use with 
System 6's icon spacing.  I also included a small descriptive text 
file saying if someone would send me a screen capture of a 13" 
screen, I'd create a 13" version.  I don't know where my original 
(System 6, 19") version of Cyberport has migrated, but I'm suddenly 
being sent multiple BinHex files of 13" screen captures from 
well-intentioned people wishing to help me create a 13" System 7 
version.  It's choking my humble 2400 baud mail capabilities and 
causing quite a hassle.  The sudden deluge must be the result of the 
file finding its way onto the Internet.  I'm not sure how to let 
everyone know that this older version *has* been updated.  So far, 
I've not learned where everyone's getting it, but they all have 
rather long .edu addresses, so I'm sure they're getting out on the 
net somewhere

   I've already created a 13" version (and it's set up for System 7 
Disk-icon spacing).  I've updated the 19" version for System 7 
spacing as well.  I've uploaded these to America Online and I know 
that at least the 19" version is still there.  (I don't know if they 
just didn't want to keep the 13" version or what, but I couldn't find 
it).  The smaller version took quite a bit of redesign, as simply 
shrinking it made somewhat of an unreadable mess.

Thanks to everyone who send me mail on my previous problem.  The only reason I
insist on putting my aliases in my .login is that I once edited my .cshrc
wrong and that wrecked everything next time I logged in next, but that is
off the subject.

My problem now is that emacs is behaving VERY poorly under MacLayers.  The
main thing it is doing, if I edit my .login, for example, it consistently chops
off the top lines file and I can't seem to get them back.  They're there when
I do a 'more' on the file, but they're just not there when I use emacs.  I've
tried setenv'ing and set'ting everything i can, but I can't figure it out.

I do like MacLayers very much, just wish I could figure out why I am having
so many problems with it *sigh*

There is no excuse for cruddy technical support but complaining about
CE software keeping you on hold for 15 minutes is idiotic! Give me a break!

Unless a company hires one tech person for each box of product they sell
you can expect a short wait to speak with someone. However, if a company
promises to call back and then doesn't - never buy anything from them again!

Also, 4 days for a callback is bull****! MacroMind pulled this on me
once, only it was 5 days. I simply wanted information on their products and
I had to wait 5 days to get some pre-sales tech questions answered.

it looks like it can be customized.

That's very odd.  I'm running 7.0.1 & MacTCP 1.1 on my Quadra 700, and it

there's an INIT conflict or some other problem at work.

OK. I got the source and poked around. It was not easy, with the two
hours that I had, to make any sense of anything.

From what I can tell, NCSA 2.5 simply does *not* get the "hardware=serial"
configuration "right". I ended up using "hardware=ether" to get the
application to come up proper. EVEN THEN, the Session menu is dimmed
and you simply CAN NOT get to "Switch to SLIP"!

So...... I fixed it.

I took out the "DisableItem" that dimmed the menu, and voila!
I am now running SLIP under 2.5.

But, I went back to 2.4.19. I see no reason to keep dealing with the
problems of 2.5 when 2.4.19 did everything I wanted.

So, I could try to post a patch to rid of the evil DisableItem, or
I could post the hacked app, or you could get the source and fix it
yourself. BUT, it looks like this needs some work to be fixed proper.
