I am looking into purchasing some equipment (vcr, etc..) so that I can take
some quicktime movies and record them onto a VHS tape.  I was wondering if
anybody had any suggestions as to the type of equipment available, etc..

I am looking for something that would do the job, but not top of the line
models.  

Any information regarding this topic would be appreciated.

Does anyone out there know about formats for geographical maps?  I'm trying
to learn something about the various formats used for archiving mapping
information.

Of particular interest to me are answers to:

1) Are there any standards, either de facto or formal, for binary or
ASCII formats for geographic mapping info?  If so, does anyone
have a reference?

2) Are there any sources from which one can buy map data at REASONABLE prices?
For instance, is there a government source?  I seem to recall that some
NASA satellite info (thematic mapper?) data can be had cheaply or perhaps
just for the downloading costs, but I can't remember the details.  My
preference is for vector-oriented data rather than raster images.

3) What kinds of formats do the existing Mac applications read?  Is there
any common format that can be read by similar apps on Macs, PC's and Unix
systems?  For instance, I'm looking at an ad for 'ArcView', a mapping application
for Sun Unix systems.  It claims that 'ARC/INFO' format is used for "many"
geographic information databases.

In addition to these specific questions, I have a general question.
It calls for a bit of editorializing as an intro, so bear with me.  I've always
been fascinated by maps of all kinds, both for their practical uses for
activities such as wilderness hiking and city navigation, and for purely
aesthetic reasons.  Looking over the apps available on the Mac, I'm struck
by the unrelenting emphasis on commercial applications, particularly
marketing.  Of course, this is no surprise, but it's still kind of a drag to
see so much (crass, IMHO) stress being placed on a mapping application's ability
to help someone 'target' (don't you just hate that metaphor?!) a particular
market segment.

The question, then -- of the existing apps, which might be better at non-marketing
kinds of uses; say preparing an orienteering map from a USGS topo database,
or generating detailed street maps to help you navigate in a strange city,
or just to explore that city from your desktop?  And are the available 
databases to expensive that it puts this kind of personal use completely out of
the picture?  Can one buy a CD ROM for say, a hundred dollars, that would 
give you city maps for several U.S. cities?

That's the idea... ;)  I only half agree with you re: the CD-ROMs of
software...  Those things store 600 MB, and are rarely full.  So
what if a few programs & files are there more than once. ;)

I was under the (possibly mistaken) impression that there would still
be the capability to 'patch' the system.

*** Important note I just became consious of: ***

You do realize that the System is in ROM now, at least in part, right?
That the System file just contains the resources necessary to patch
the ROM version of the system to whatever the current version is...
THAT'S WHY SYSTEM 7 IS SO LARGE ON FLOPPY.  Almost every Mac currently
on a desktop has System 6-style ROMs.  (Maybe this is old news to
everyone else, but I just put 2 and two together and figured this out.

	The problem probably is the fact that you are using
an IBM :-)Seriously though the IBM 3.5 inch drives don't care
what kind of disk you put in them when you format it. Say you
put in a DS/DD disk into your mac...The Mac knows to format
it at 400 or 800k only. The IBM does not. It will format it at
whatever you would like. My geuss is that you have a DS/DD disk
that has about 1 M free on it. The Mac looks at it and only 
tries to read a 720k format Not 1.44M.

but rx (xmodem) and rb (ymodem) seem to filter out the CRLF and I
get an endless series of "transmission errors".  The part of the

I went through the exercise of looking for DST on the Mac just a few weeks 
ago. Apparently, Apple still hasn't fully defined how the dlsDelta field 
of the MachineLocation data structure will actually be used. It is shown 
in the Macintosh Worldwide Development Guide to Sytem Software but with no 
explanation of how it is to be used. It's not clear to me that a single 
byte is enough to correctly encode all of the variations on DST which 
politicians around the world are likely to come up with anyway.

However, the author of the Network Time cdev will shortly (or maybe does 
now) offer a driver status inquiry which will work at least for U S DST 
conventions. This should suffice for U S users until Apple figures out 
what to do. I hope they get it together enough for the OCE release. 
Digital Signatures are not going to be much use without accurate dates and 
times.

For your situation I would recommend QuickMail 2.5.1.  Pluses:  QM will
run on the AppleShare Server (better check version 3 of AppleShare; useses
MailLink from StarNine for SMTP support (avoid the version of the same
repackaged by Cayman Systems as GatorMail Q as GM-Q is slow to be upgraded.)

I am doing this currently; I also researched and/or used other Mail
systems including a Pop3 Server with Eudora (which is a good way to go
if the Unix box was your mail server but it's not) and CC:mail.

Your understanding is wrong.  Apple has a big project dedicated to moving  
the MacOS to the PowerPC.  Along the way they're going to put in a  
microkernel that support pre-emptive scheduling, memory protection, and  
other such goodies.  When the first PowerPC Macs appear in late '93 or  
early '94 they will be running the products of this project, *not* the  
Taligent OS.

No, but Apple will have an OS with these features (minus SMP) for testing  
next summer, and for general use within a year of NT's ship date.  So  
Apple isn't too far behind in the "real OS" horserace, and I'll wager that  
they'll have an easier time upgrading their customers to microkernel MacOS  
on PowerPC than MicroSoft will have getting people to run NT on the R4000  
or Alpha.

  Sure you can use 'em.  Just format them as normal on the Plus.  You'll
get 800k available.  If you want to use them on an HD drive, just slap a

Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1992 00:44:10 GMT

I have a Mac II with a 13" Apple color monitor and the associated 8 bit
video card (I forget the model number) circa 1988.

I would like to gamma-correct the monitor.  Can comeone direct me to 
the software/hardware solutions I should be looking at?

Note 1:  I found a "gamma" button in the control panel, and pushed it, getting
slightly better colors, but still, not wonderful.  Besides, I question the
effeciveness of any gamma correction approach which does not use actual
photometric data from the monitor to determine the transfer function!  Where
on earth does this button get this data from?  How could it know?

Note 2:  I vaguely recall there being a product maybe a year or two ago from
Radius (?), where the monitor came with a photometric device which suction
cupped onto the front of the monitor, allowing you to construct the transfer
function, which could then be loaded into the correction software.  Can anybody
corroborate this memory, and give me some concrete info?

Ideally, I'd like to do something like the approach I just described, but 
avoid (for now) purchasing a whole new monitor & video card.  Is there a way
I can achieve there results with th hardware I have?  (I'd be willing to
buy the photometric device & associated software, of course.)

How about implementing this as a drag-n-drop utility? It could be
simpler. Just drop files or folders onto the utility, and it will
place each of them to the preassigned folder according to its
