Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1992 00:04:46 GMT

     Can someone please give me some help...  I have a Apple IIGS with a modem
  which I use to call my system.  The system is unix based.  I am trying to get
  some files to my IIgs  (mostly like System 6).  I can not figure out how to
  get my machine (mainframe) to send files to me (remote) [(I think) it
  uses kermit, but my terminal doesn't support it {basicaly I can't figgure out
  how to get any files transfered to me}].
     The only way I can think of to get these files is go to a dos-station
  (linked to the mainframe) get the files, take them back to my computers (I am
  borrowing a friend's IBM compatable) and upload them to a local BBS then
  download them to my apple.  Will this work? 
      Is there any eaiser way to do this.  Is there anywhere where I could
  download strait to my modem?
			Any information is appreicated.

     Hey again... I just downloaded shrview35.bsq from tybalt.caltech.edu
so as to view all of these gifs that I have.  My problem is the same as
it has been with every other viewer I've tried.  It crashes on all of my
gifs!!!  Why is this???  Gif3200 does the same thing.  Did I download the
Gifs wrong or are there different gif versions including some that todays
IIgs viewers can not read or is there something else that is beyond my
level of comprehension??  Help Please...

                                    Thanks in advance,

Grant -- someone kindly sent me a copy and it works just perfectly for
me.  Did you perhaps not put it in the right place (System.Setup)?

In any case, this is as good an opportunity as ever to yet again thank
the Apple development crew -- it's rare one sees a system get both
better AND faster.  (A few days ago someone took umbrage at my saying
something about trying to resurrect a dead horse -- that was not meant
at all as a backhanded compliment, just a lament that now the system is
being fine-tuned to perfection all the real support from software houses
has completely dried up; for instance, I would just love to have the
kind of desktop publishing software one can get on an IBM or Mac but I
know I will never see it on the GS.)

I have a couple of questions about Orca that have been bothering me.

1:  Whenever I run Orca now, it always loads two source files into the
    desktop environment (they just happen to be the ones I'm working on).
    Is it supposed to do this?  I am double clicking the Orca.Sys16
    application and not anything else.

2:  Well, ok, so I only have one question.

Asking this for a friend.

What is the preferred word processor of choice for the Apple //gs?  He's
fed up with AppleWorks GS, and would like to use something else that isn't
as buggy, has many of the same features and is able to use large fonts.

I suggested Graphic Writer III, but I've never seen the product, only the

I have an interesting problem.  When the Finder first starts up, none of
my application icons come up (like the Dolphin for Orca).  But if I close
the window, and open it again, the Icons appear.  Why should it make any 
difference if the icons appear only if I physically opened a window myself
or the window was opened automatically upon entering the Finder.  I don't
know if it makes any difference, but I keep my icon files on a different
partition than my boot partition in an "Icons" folder in the root directory.
I know the Finder can see them, because they come up if I open the window
myself, they just don't come up if the window opens automatically..

Anyone else having troubles with this??

You know, one of the reasons I chose ProLine software for my BBS was because
of the high level of professionalism I saw displayed by Morgan Davis. The 
writers of other BBS programs all seem to feel that part of their role in
life is to rag on each other's products, but Morgan just quietly goes about
making ProLine better, letting its quality speak for itself. I can't honestly
say which Apple II BBS software is best, but I much prefer working with
Morgan than I would any of the other II BBS developers I've seen so far.

<squelch>

I'm going to be repeating some things here, but apparently not everyone
got them or something, so those of you that did may find this eerily familiar.

The current LaserWriter driver works with all the PostScript Level 2
printers until you try to print certain color patterns, which returns
a PostScript error.  We know how this works and how to fix it, but it
is not fixed in System 6.0 (LW driver 3.2).  If you always print in
black and white, it works just fine on the IIf, IIg and Personal LaserWriter
NTR (a pretty whizzy printer, by the way).

You _can_ install AppleTalk in your system and run a direct serial
connection between the LaserWriter and the IIgs.  A two-node AppleTalk
network is still an AppleTalk network.  You can't run it serially, but
for most people a direct-connection over AppleTalk works just fine.

	Does anyone know the address for the Apple Programmers and Developers

I recently bought the Apple IIGS GS/OS Reference (For system 5.0 and later)
because it was available, and I'd like to learn to program SOMETHING.  Problem
is, this is rather advanced, and the book specifically states, "This is a
manual for... advanced programmers..." and it suggests getting some other
books to start out.  Well, there are no other books around here, but the book
says that all the others are available thru APDA.
	Or, if anyone lives in southern New Hampshire/northern Mass.
(Specifically the Lowell area), are there any book stores around here that sell
them?

Reply-To: gray@ibis.cs.umass.edu (Lyle H. Gray)
Organization: University of Massachusetts, Amherst

I've been through this before, and I would ask that those have seen this
question before please be patient.

I have a Sider 10 Mb Multi-OS external hard drive that I cannot get GS/OS to
recognize unless I either boot Prodos 8 before I boot GS/OS, or I boot GS/OS,
execute BASIC.SYSTEM and return to the Finder.  In both cases, both partitions
of the Sider are visible.

I have installed GS/OS 6.0 on the Sider, and I have the SIDER.MULTI.OS driver
as the first driver file in the System/Drivers folder (I think that's the name
-- my memory of directory names has become flakey since I've been using the
Finder) on both by 3.5" System.Disk and the Sider, but that doesn't seem to
help.

From a suggestion of another Sider owner (whose name escape me at the moment
-- I'll give him credit when I find where I've written it down), I've copied
the P16 file onto the first Prodos partition of my Sider, and renamed it
GSOS.SYSTEM (it's ahead of BASIC.SYSTEM in the directory, so Prodos executes
it on startup).  This has an interesting effect:  Even though the GSOS.SYSTEM
file is on the Sider, it boots to the 3.5" disk!

From other messages I've seen in this News group, I've come to the conclusion
that the problem may be that the SIDER.MULTI.OS driver was never installed on
the Sider, but was rather simply copied there.  If you agree with my
conclusion (and even if you don't), can anyone tell me how to customize the
System disk installation so that the SIDER.MULTI.OS driver is installed?  Is
it as simple as making sure that there's a copy in the INSTALL disk?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aha!

Ok, Todd, I know this is my fault, but I still want to scream atcha! :)

So, if AppleTalk is disabled, ZipTalk STILL slows the machine to 1MHz
everytime an interrupt is processed?  (If not, than I traced it to the wrong
thing - I'll be more thorough about it tonight)
Ugh.  I disabled ZipTalk since a)  I hadn't been using AppleTalk all that much
(it was off, slot 7 was Your Card), b)  6.0 fixes the timing problem (the big
part of the fix) anyway c)  I really don't care TOO much about losing my mouse
pointer (well, at least for about 10 minutes or so I didnt) and d)  No one
uses the call to set or check the CPU speed.

I run PT3 from ProSEL 8.69 under 6.0, activate Greg's Max Speed 57600 macro,
dial Hayes 1-800 BBS, play around for a bit, and then suddenly notice that 
I haven't been losing characters.  Go to xfer, download The-Wave.TXT (130+k
highly compressible text file) with Ymodem-G and get 3310+ cps.

Then I realize I never hit ctrl-reset when I entered PT3.
Then I realize I had the ZipGS 10/64ksplit maxed out (All delays set to off)
and all slots set to Fast.

Neat!

Now, it coulda been something else I did to the system, but in all my playing
around with trying to get PT3 to work at 57600 from GS/OS I think the three
things that were different this time are 6.0, CPS Follow: off and ZipTalk
disabled.

(BTW, Todd - Really, I'm not mad - I use ZipTalk - its neat - and now that I
(think) I understand how it works, I see how much cooler a hack it is.  :)

BTW, the neatest part of using Ymodem G with two hardware handshaking modems
is that when PT3 drops CTS to do the disk write and then puts it high again,
the data that comes from the modem is actually going at 57600 max rate since
the modem's buffer is more than likely full.  The data screen that 3.0 puts up
during the xfer suddenly comes alive and it seriously blew my mind seeing such
a high data rate coming from the modem into the computer without any lost
characters.  Way neat.

Of course, 57600 is not very useful at this point in time...but maybe someday
soon (or '93 when V.fast may see the light of day - I plan to still be using
my GS daily then - unless my creditors catch up with me...)

A few question relating to System 6:

a)	Now that the file EXPRESSLOAD no longer seems nessacary in Sys6 is it  
	still possible to display the ExpressLoad message under the thermoter
	during boot up. (For those who don't know what I'm talking about under
	Sys 5.x if you changed the aux type of the EXPRESSLOAD file in the
	SYSTEM.SETUP directory to $5254 or $5452 (I can't remember which) the
	system would display the word Expressload during booting.)

b)	Is there a version of Twilight that works under Sys6 and if so where
	can I get from.  I am UNABLE to FTP and do not know how to FetchFile
	I have v1.0 and it does not automatically blank the screen and if I
	open the Control Panel and click on Blank Now the module will execute
	but I lose control of my keyboard and mouse.  Only solution Power Switch
	and before you ask CloseView and EasyAcess are not installed on my 
	system.

c)	How do I change the time delay in Twilight Companion?  Under Sys5.0.4
	I had a time delay of 10minutes.  Under Sys6 I only have a two minute
	delay and would like to make it longer.

Any help on the above matters would be gladly accepted

Thanks in advance and for all the assistance this group and its users have 
given me in the past.  comp.sys.apple2 users prove that the Apple will live
on forever (well maybe not forever although we can hope.)  I see me using my
Apple //GS well into the 21st century and this will be achieved by tapping the
resources of the users of groups like local user groups and on-line services, aswell as assistance from people using comp.sys.apple2.

Sorry for going on a bit in the last paragraph, but I still feel happy about
the purchase of my GS I made only last September (A couple years late I think).

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41

Howdy All,
	A little while ago (about six months) I got the notion in my 
head to make a super GS version of Moria. Not to many changes to the
actual program just the addition of some things like sound and at 
least mousetext for graphics. I also have a fantastic GIF of a red
dragon breathing fire that I wanted to pop up with MORIA GS in old 
english letters while the program was loading. 
	All this sounds great, but my problem is two fold. 1) A 
familiar and lame excuse here...I'm too busy for such a large project! 
and 2) I only have one three inch drive so it makes it tough to 
compile the source.
	Now, since I wasn't going to change the code anyway, just
slap on some additions, I didn't want to 'reinvent the wheel'. I
wrote to Jason Harper and he sent me the source code for Moria GS
(4.83). I have it sitting here on a disk and its really huge. Its in
Orca/C. How many people would like it? PLEASE POST ANSWERS HERE! If
I see a bunch of letters titled 'Yes! Upload Moria Source!' or
something like it I'll shrink the whole disk down and put it on 
comp.binaries.apple2 for those with the equipment and desire to
play with it.
