Check out /info-mac/cp/init-loader.hqx and /info-mac/cp/init-share.hqx, both
at sumex-aim.stanford.edu.  One or both (I don't remeber which) allow you to
use other folders to load inits.  I haven't tried either, I just remember
downloading them and archiving them.

Cheers,

Alan

	Yeah, that's a powerbook feature to slow the machine when there no

	Re-read your manual; the chapter about power saving, and you'll see

I received on April 14 the announcement about the upgrade to Norton Util. 2.0.
For those who are interested, it indicates that anyone who purchased SUM II or
it by Jan. 20 that by sending the dated sales receipt and $8.00 S&H would be 
entiled to receiving it free of the upgrade charge.

However, personally I am interested in knowing if the Disklight-Bernoulli INIT
driver incompatibility has been rectified. If anyone has already upgraded to 
2.0 and has a Bernoulli and has the new Disklight, please email me your results
to kettler@pierre.mit.edu.

Keywords: IIci, 4mb, bank a, bank b, simms, memory
Date: 8 Apr 92 21:20:35 GMT
Followup-To: poster

I am upgrading a 8MB Mac IIci by buying four 4 MB SIMMs.  There was
some discussion about leaving the low density chips in Bank A because
the system, built-in video, and disk cache can all fill up the original
four 256K SIMMs in Bank A.  Thus increasing performance of
applications that can happily load and run in Bank B. 
I originally upgraded from a 5MB machine, so I still have the original
256K SIMMs.

My question is, if I want maximum performance (I am doing ray-traces)
what would be the best configuration?  16MB?  17MB?  20MB?

Two things to consider,
		1) I am running system 6.0.5
		2) I am NOT using the built-in video (I have a 24-bit card)

Should Bank B get the higher density SIMMs?  That is, assuming 20MB is
optimal (hey, the more memory the better :), should Bank A get 4MB and
Bank B get 16MB?

I thought I remembered that Bank A should never be empty, so maybe the
straight 16MB setup would have the high density SIMMs in Bank A?

I would appreciate if someone could clear up this confusion,
especially if a 17MB system will outperform a 20MB system.
(Like if my system occupies more than 4MB, will the 17MB and 20MB
setup perform similarly because ALL of Bank A is used by the system?)
Maybe they could include where using built-in video & size of disk
cache effect the performance of a certain memory configuration.

I will summarize email replies to the net, so email might be best.
Thanks in advance.

FTP.APPLE.COM [130.43.2.3] now contains System 7.0 Tune-Up 1.1.1 in
the directory
		dts/mac/sys.soft/7.0.tuneup/

Apple has discovered a problem in the System 7 Tune-Up version 1.1
which can result in unpredictable system behavior in low memory
situations. This problem was introduced during the creation of the
System 7 Tune-Up version 1.1 disk. In order to maintain high quality
software, Apple has revised the System 7 Tune-Up to version 1.1.1 to
address this problem. The new version 1.1.1 does not add any new
functionality or features over version 1.1.
 
Apple recommends customers to install System 7 Tune-Up version 1.1.1.

Note that just as before when using 1.1, Apple recommends that prior
to installing 1.1.1, users read the entire Read Me enclosed on the
disk and run Disk First Aid to verify that there is no disk corruption
prior to installation of 1.1.1.

DOCMaker, formerly "The DOCter", is an application for the Macintosh which
creates stand-alone, self-running document files.  It features 'scrollable' and
're-sizable' windows, graphics, varied text styles and fonts, and full printing
capability.  The stand-alone files are self-executing applications which you
may distribute to others to read and print.  No other application is required! 
This gives you the ability to distribute documents and information widely with
no knowledge of the end-users' Mac configuration or software.

With DOCMaker you may create up to 30 separate, 32K chapters within each
document.  Every chapter may contain up to 20 graphics.  You may name every
chapter uniquely.  You may add a table of contents for the readers to quickly
jump to selected sections.  Additionally, you may print each chapter separately
if you wish.  DOCMaker itself, will open any TEXT file or existing DOCMaker
document.

      Shareware.

There is a recalculation bug in MacInTax which can lead to income not
being reported. The problem occurs when opening a previously saved tax
data file. MacInTax often and reproducibly fails to correctly
incorporate certain types of income (1099-Misc, for instance). This can
lead to IRS audits and penalties, since income reported on the return
and income reported directly to the IRS don't match.

The work-around for the problem is to force a recalculation of the
income entered into MacInTax, by unchecking and rechecking the Routing
Information box of at least one of the affected 1099s in "FORM 1099:
Miscellaneous Income Statement".

ChipSoft is aware of the bug, but prefers to call it an inadvertent
inaccurate recalculation problem.

Also, even though this is not 100% reproducible, make sure you save
you return before selecting "Open Notes..." from the Windows menu, or
La Bomba may make tax time even more taxing.

This is the first public release of BBEdit, which is a free text editor
that has been under development and extensive in-house testing for the
past two years.

BBEdit is 32-bit clean, compatible with any Macintosh running system version
6.0 or later, and when running under System 7.0, takes specific advantage
of new features to enhance performance and appearance.

BBEdit is also very economical with respect to disk and memory usage; it will
run in a partition as small as 256K. The size of any file is only limited
by the amount of memory available in BBEdit's partition; there is no 32K
upper bound.

BBEdit offers fast and flexible multi-file search and replace capabilities;
under System 7, it can also use On Location 2.0 as a searching engine. Grep
pattern-matching is available for single- or multi-file searches.

BBEdit may be freely distributed, subject to the conditions specified in 
the "Read Me" file, which is part of the distribution archive.

You should look into getting "tickle" from the MSEN archive. It gives
you UUdecode, as well as Compress, tar, BinHex, and more, plus the
tcl scripting language to tie it all together.

If you need to run a mac based server use Mailstop from boombox.micro.umn.edu.
 It is a pop2 server. Then use popmail from the same location as a client for
your Macs and NUPOP as a PC client.

If you only have a IBM type pc (heaven forbid) you can run Ka9q as a pop2
server and the above two clients. Note: I had to make minor changes to the
header pop.h and recompile Ka9q to get it to work properly as a server. But it
seems to work OK now. If any one is interested in using it I could post the
executable somewhere for anonymous ftp. ( Note: Read the copyright that comes
with Ka9q. Its free use for Universities but $50.00 US a copy for commerical
use ( I think) ) .
