	Please.  Such information is reely available on the net.  IWHere i
got the information about eliminating hardware password (remove the battery
and let sit for a day), was posted in response to a ligitimate question
involving a messup on the hardware password.  Similary, I am quite certain
that "how do I recover my root password" has been asked and answered more
then once, when someone who lacks the ability to RTFM makes a mistake.  For
god's sake, the sysadmin manuals are on-line in the extended release, with
th e proedure clearly sppelled out.  It also spells out how to set a
hardware password, and to change other things, such as print manager etc.

	And, if the theif in question knew what he/she was doing, it is
certain that he/she would have snagged the sound-box and keyboard/mouse as
well, as these things are very hard to get outside of an official dealer if
he/she was going to use it him/her/itself.  And if it is for resale, then
any knowledgable thief will take a more common computer, such as a Mac or a
Clone, which would be much easier to fence, and much harder to trace.

Subject: VirtSpace v2.6 is now available
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1992 09:02:26 GMT

Tucson, Arizona - October 7, 1992.  Pinnacle Research announced today
the release of version 2.6 of Cheapskate Software's virtual window
manager, VirtSpace.

VirtSpace allows you to expand your available screen area by creating
a "Virtual Workspace" which is larger than the area displayed on the
MegaPixel Display.  Windows can be placed anywhere in the Virtual
Workspace and users can select any portion of the Virtual Workspace to
be visible using simple mouse and keypad commands.

In addition to the standard screen and window movement, VirtSpace 2.6
offers a scalable view of the Virtual Workspace, full support of the
defaults database, drag and drop colors to "tag" windows, keyboard
movement support, automatic screen updating, "sticky" windows,
improved support for multiple screens (i.e., NeXT Dimension systems),
use of the keypad as a "grid" to jump directly to different regions,
and more.

The most innovative and useful feature is auto-scrolling.  With this
feature the user merely has to drag the mouse to the edge of the
screen to move to a different area of the Virtual Workspace. 

"The auto-scrolling feature of VirtSpace makes navigating the Virtual
Workspace is completely transparent - just drag the mouse in the
direction you want to go and you're there!" - Ralph Zazula /
President, Pinnacle Research, Inc.

A demo copy of VirtSpace can be obtained from sonata.cc.purdue.edu in
/pub/next/2.0-release/Demos, and many other popular archive sites.
The demo version version supports all of the features, but it does not
save or load defaults and it runs for a limited time (approximately 20
minutes).  Current VirtSpace owners can download the demo version and
activate it with their existing license key.

Version 2.6 of VirtSpace is being distributed by Pinnacle Research for
a ridiculously low price!  Ordering information and prices can be
obtained from the Help window in VirtSpace (under "Demo Mode"), or
from:

Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1992 04:52:41 GMT


Charles Lloyd of Wiltel <wiltel!clloyd@uunet.UU.NET> has forwared to
me his RTF cpp which I have placed on sonata.cc.purdue.edu in
/pub/next/submissions.

This is a modified version of 3.0 cpp which can handle RTF source code
files.  This lets you clarify your source code with different fonts
and even hot-links to your documentation!  It's major way cool.  It
also comes with a generic RTF->ASCII filter program.

Kudos to Charles Lloyd for keeping with the spirit of the GNU Public
License and sharing this neat utility with everyone.

Subject: RightBrain Software introduces page layout for the NeXT computer
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1992 20:11:28 GMT

PALO ALTO, CA, USA October 27, 1992 - Today RightBrain Software began
shipping PasteUp, the first page layout program completely built from
the ground up with object oriented technology and Display Postscript.

PasteUp is a full-featured design and layout package providing
sophisticated text-handling, drawing tools, and layout features.
PasteUp supports the drag-and-drop metaphor for colors, imported
files, graphic styles, and text styles. Display PostScript allows page
editing at output resolution and provides on screen previews of color
separated film. PasteUp has built-in spell checking and hyphenation in
9 languages, full text runaround, left and right master pages, page
numbering, search and replace for colors as well as text, arbitrary
rotation and skewing of all objects including text, grouping, locking,
align and distribute, and a host of other features. PasteUp is
intended for flexible page design and documents in the 1-to-100-page
range, although its drawing tools, word-processing features, and ease
of use make it appropriate for all short document needs.

"PasteUp 1.0 has all the features you'd expect of an
industrial-strength publishing application, but is much faster and
easier to use," said Glenn Reid, president and founder of RightBrain
Software. "We've also added some sophisticated features like automatic
drop shadows for any object, a thumbnail page navigator, an arrowhead
editor that lets you customize the shapes of arrowheads, and
copy/paste of graphic attributes."

PasteUp also has automatic "smart punctuation" that will replace
straight quotes with typographic quotes, double hyphens with emdashes,
insert fi and fl ligatures, and even transpose the period inside
double quotes at the end of a quotation. Smart punctuation works with
text import as well as during typing, which greatly simplifies the
process of importing text from other sources without having to search
and replace all the quotes and ligatures.

PasteUp has a suggested retail price of $795 and is available through
NeXT dealers, NeXT international distributors and NeXTconnection.
Contact RightBrain Software for more information or the location of
the PasteUp reseller nearest you.

Subject: RightBrain Software seeks awesome Engineer
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 1992 06:52:26 GMT

RightBrain Software is looking for a special someone to join us as a
software engineer.

Responsibilities include engineering work on all of our products,
including Rulers, Portfolio, LockScreen, LaunchPad, PasteUp,
PhotoSynthesis, and Music Scribe, as well as any forthcoming products.

We're looking for someone with very strong user interface skills as
well as solid experience and discipline in programming.  The best
applicants will also have exceptional written communication skills, be
personable and good at interacting with people, and be up for
anything, from demoing at user group meetings to occasional system
administration tasks to technical support to writing documentation.

Job requirements include a degree in Computer Science or related
discipline, a minimum of 3-5 years of experience, and a minimum of 1
year experience programming in NeXTSTEP.  Specific experience in or
knoweldge of the publishing industry, fonts, and/or PostScript is also
highly desirable to the point of almost being a requirement.

There's lots of fun to be had, great coffee one block away at the
Caffe Verona, a good bunch of people to work with, and the
quintessential "start-up" experience, where you're almost as likely to
be stuffing paper into envelopes and handing them to the president to
shrink-wrap as you are to be writing software.

NeXT-FAQ.intro Introduction to Frequently Asked Questions on comp.sys.NeXT

Every four weeks (depending on the phase of the moon) a number of postings are
made to comp.sys.next.announce which are a compilation of answers to
commonly asked questions in the comp.sys.next.* USENET groups.  Not all
questions appear, it is expected that readers have access to NeXT manuals, and
access other on-line sources of information.

The FAQ is broken into sections and posted separately.  These sections focus on
various aspects of the NeXT machine.  Items that appear within sections are not
in any particular order, and get added and removed over time.  Posting the
sections separately allows people to find the sections interesting to them
quickly.  It also allows sections to be easily masked by the news reading
program (ie put FAQ.intro in the kill file).  

Within each section each question will be preceded by a "*** Subject:" field,
allowing news readers to break up the file into separate questions.  Each
question has its own unique number.

The FAQ is kept on-line at several sites and may be retrieved at any time:  

	sonata.cc.purdue.edu in pub/next/FAQ
	srawgw.sra.co.jp [133.137.4.3]

Subject: LoadEyeDemo Now Available from FTP Archives
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 10:50:17 GMT

Aurora Software is pleased to announce that a demo version of LoadEye
is now available from the ftp archives.  See THE DEMO for locations.


BACKGROUND

When you push yourself too hard, you actually perform worse than you
would otherwise.  The same goes for your NeXT(TM) Computer: there is a
point after which the more you push it the slower it goes.  Such
performance degradation can be avoided only through an awareness of
your NeXT's system load, or "heartbeat".

Introducing LoadEye(TM).  LoadEye displays your NeXT's system load in
a Load Monitor that you can place anywhere on your screen.  By
observing how your actions affect your computer's system load you can
learn to use your computer more efficiently and effectively.  And only
LoadEye provides you with the information you need in such an
easy-to-understand format.


LOADEYE FEATURES

    - Supports Mach factor and UNIX system load average.
    - Monitors the system load on computers connected to a network.
    - Contains on-line help with a description of system load
      computation.
    - System load is displayed in application icon when application is
      hidden.
    - Update interval can range from half a second to ten seconds.
    - Load Monitor is resizable and configurable.


THE DEMO

The demo version of LoadEye is now available at the following ftp
sites:

    Archive Server Name     Pathname
    -------------------     --------
    cs.orst.edu             /pub/next/demos/LoadEyeDemo.tar.Z
