First thing: you should check to make sure your Zip Chip is seated neatly and
all the way into the socket.  I had the exact same symptoms when I first
installed my TWGS, and the first time I upgraded a friend's //e to an
enhanced model.

Second thing: the 65802 is carred by a couple of chip vendors that I know
of.  Let's see... I can't remember the name for sure... Jameco, is it?
Something like that.  Help!

        This is Colby again.  My little brother wants to know a few answers
to a couple of Shadowgate questions.  He wants to know how to get the gold
coins from the room with the dragon (the room where there are eyes staring
at you).  Also is there a way to kill the dragon and if so, how.  Also in
the same room, is there any way to open the chest and how?  He also wants
to know how to move the boulders covering the stairway where the waterfall
is.  Another question is at the beginning of the game, at the room where
you find the sword and sling, I ask for a hint and it says "Try with all of
your might!".  Does anyone know what to do? And if so How.  In the room
where you find the arrow, how do you get in the doorway the is above the
ground?    Well that's about it for now.  Thanks in advance!

    If your friend has the right software, the best way is to use the
Claris XTND technology.  Certain applications (MacWrite II and
ClarisWorks being the relevant ones) have access to translation
filters written by Claris.  There are filters available for both
AppleWorks 2.x and AppleWorks 3.0, as well as AppleWorks GS 1.1.  If
your friend isn't using MacWrite II, he might consider getting it.  I
find it is much more pleasant to use than MS Word.

    Another alternative is to find the Works-to-Works package for
Apple File Exchange.  It contains filters for converting between
AppleWorks 2.x and Microsoft Works formats (don't know if they've
upgraded to AW 3.0).  Not nearly as slick as using Claris XTND's, but
it gets the job done.

    Check out the ProDOS File System Manager (FSM) on the Mac as well.
This init file lets the Mac read ProDOS disks directly (although it
won't do any file translation on its own).  You can skip the AFE step
when reading your //c files, but files created by the Mac (even plain
ASCII files) won't be readable on the //c.  For some reason the ProDOS
FSM always makes forked files which are unreadable under ProDOS 8.

Commercial. Orca/Modula-2, for example, is from ByteWorks.

And it, like the RocketChip, violated a Zip hardware patent. Zip was never

Which modem port driver?

I know of two:

- The MODEM driver in */SYSTEM/DRIVERS, which is a Print Manager port
driver.  Port drivers are documented in IIgs technical note #36 (Port
Driver Specifications).  I think there is another technote related to
this, but I can't locate it.

- The serial port firmware (in slot 2), which can be accessed from
GS/OS by using the Text Tools, or through the driver that GS/OS
generates for the modem port (the latter is preferable).

I don't think that either of these can keep up with I/O at 9600 baud
or higher.  At some stage in the last couple of years, Apple should
have written a REAL GS/OS modem port driver, which would provide fast
access to the serial ports from native mode, but this hasn't happened
(_yet_, he says hopefully).

See also Apple II Miscellaneous Tech Note #14 (Guidelines for
Telecommunications Programs).  This says that you should be using the
GS/OS driver unless you REALLY need to go faster.

I looked into this recently, and it appears the story is this:

Finder tries to do these things:

1.  Allocate its internal out-of-memory safety buffer
2.  Start the Resource Manager
3.  Open its own resource fork and read the entire map into memory
4.  StartUpTools

If _any_ of these fail, you get the "Finder needs xxxK" message.  That
means if a program is failing to shut down a tool properly that Finder
now needs where it didn't before (like TextEdit, perhaps), you might
see this message.  I'm not 100% sure TLShutDown will avoid the problem
of not shutting down RAM-based tools you started up.

I might not be around this group as much over the next several weeks or
months, for a few reasons:

1)  I find myself more pressed for time these days

2)  I find my internet mailbox filling up on a daily basis again with
people sending me technical questions.  I can't answer technical questions
in Email on _any_ online service because if I did I'd do nothing else,
and I refuse to choose who to support and who not to support.  I read the
public message bases and contribute there.  I'm getting a lot of technical
questions in mail again, and I'm tired of feeling like a bad guy and
sending
Email back that says "Sorry, but my .signature clearly asked you not to
do this."

3)  I'm mainly here to help programmers, and the recent failure (again) of
comp.sys.apple2.programmer says to me there aren't even 100 people reading
this around the world who want programming help, so I'll probably focus
more of my time in other places where programmers are definitely hanging
out and asking for help.

I'll probably be reading sporadically, though not regularly.

I originally purchased ProSEL 16 from Resource Central, and now am thinking
of upgrading ProSEL 16 to whatever the current version is, and I need to

I've been getting updates from local bbses, and some of them came

There is more to a terminal protocol than cursor movement codes!  I
think the ANSI and VT-100 implementation of some codes differ
slightly.  Also, systems that specifically talk to VT-100 terminals
use some codes that are not part of the ANSI standard.  I don't know
what codes these are, all I know is that on some systems, an "ANSI"
emulation doesn't work, but a "VT-100" emulation does.

VT-100 graphics modes and characters aren't supported by ANSI
emulators.  "ANSI" usually means "IBM PC compatible ANSI", including
IBM PC high-ASCII graphics characters (particularly line drawing ones).


Can anyone point me to an official (or at least reasonably complete)
definition of the VT-100, etc. and ANSI terminal standards?

The # signs you are seeing come from the Control-J used by Unix(R)
to distinguish the end of a line. Apple uses a Control-M for this
purpose.

MS-DOS uses both the Control-J and Control-M (You can't be too
sure about the end of the line.)

This means that you have to convert the file at one end or the
other and the Unix end is normally the easiest. I use two local
commands, utoa filename(s) and atou filename(s). Both are simply 
tr commands that look for the control character of interest and
change it to the wanted.
