Good thing the Apple II is a freeware product, or this whole group would be
considered commercial. :-)

Defining "commercial advertisement" is like defining "pornography"; you might
not be able to define it exactly, but you'll know it when you see it.  I don't
personally have a problem with GEnieLamp, but I can see why people might.

It depends on the policy of the site in question.  Some sites get annoyed at
having commercial stuff, others have no problems with it.  There is no "no
commercial stuff" policy for the Internet; lots of businesses do work though
it (e-mail, file transfers, etc).  There are certain pieces of it which are
marked as "no commercial traffic" (I believe NSFnet is), but the Internet
is defined by the sites which are part of it, not the other way around.

No.. aaah.. Mine's called RawToRez.. (i.e. raw data to resource format) 
I will mail it to anyone who's interested. It most likely is also on
cco.caltech.edu

user interface is nonexistant? Yeah, I agree.. that's what makes UNIX
programming
easier than desktop programming.. In desktop programming, I spend most of
the
time on the interface and not on the guts of the program.  Though I *am*
very
picky when it comes to programs' interfaces when they DO use the desktop
interface..
Cosmetic and key-equivalent bugs are ones I tend to write up often.
(when background windows don't update and there are big "splotches" of
white area,
it irritates the hell out of me because it looks "unprofessional"..
unfortunately there
are many areas where the System Software does that too.. I'm specifically
thinking
of the Mac side here, but the GS Installer does it too).

Well, for one thing, dump Prime... it's PD, it's unsupported, the owner

If you absolutely need to get Prime Support, mail afldannyh@aol.com
 
I would recommend BUYING a BBS Package, such as Metal/FV... Buying a BBS Prog.
does have it's advantages, such as you usually get great support, updates, and
you get very helpful, fast response...
 
I am no represenative of any BBS Package, but I do know that the few BBS progs.
left are ProLine, Metal/FV, ACOS/GBBS, EBBS, and a few ACOS add-ons, like DDBBS
and TunaNet, HyperBoard, and the such...
 
On the other hand, if you run GNO, there are a few BBS progs. being developed
for it, and Mike Horwath, aka the infamous <grin> Drechsau, is working on a
project that will let you have all the IBM features, plus the feel of an Apple
II type BBS... (Multiline, Multiuser, etc..)
 
Your best bet right now would be Metal/FV... I run it, and I really like it.
Metal is an easy BBS language, that you don't need to learn to operate the BBS,
such as ACOS is, and Future Vision (FV) is a very, very developed BBS package
that comes bundled with Metal... Future Vision is like GBBS, but with additions
of a 3-level Maintenance Level, a far more developed transfer system than
SuperTac (MOSES), (Exodus, a PSE transfer system is also available), and a LOT
more stuff than GBBS.... It also has features of a full Mail/Message networking
system, with over 40 boards networked, InterNet Mail capability, and very soon,
it'll also have UseNet capabilities... This is a great package for $95... And
it is VERY supported... I once had a problem with my copy, and got a phone
call, yep, It's great support... it's the best $95 I have ever spent on a
package, and ALL updates are free, no matter how big the update is. You can
mail me questions, or better yet, mail Josh Thompson, author of Future Vision

Good morning to all:
I am looking for the name of a program (or suggestions) that deals with 
nutrition and weight control.  Specifically, a program that is able to
analyze the present dietary habits of a client and iffer suggestions of 
where to modify the diet and give a sample dietary menu.  I would like to
be able to analyze protein, carbohydrate and fat percentages of the diet. 
I would also like a program that has caloric particulars of most foods
utilized.  Lastly, it would be nice if the program could also deal with
analyzing a diabetic diet and be able to flag deficiencies and tailor a
diet plan for a client.

Any body know of such a nutrition program out there on the net?

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe this will help justify Mark's statement:

  * The Ethernet card has a 65816 (the IIe has a 65C02).

  * The card has 128K of ROM (well, there's plenty of breathing room,
    plus several similar copies of the part of the firmware that runs
    on the host computer's processor, but still way more than the 16K
    of ROM that a IIe has).

  * The card spends its life coordinating asynchronous tasks; a IIe
    does its own thing and doesn't have to synchronize with anything.

BTW, someone asserted that the card handles "a couple of the lower level
AppleTalk protocols."  More than that--it does all the protocols that the
IIgs does.

Append the following lines to your program:

63000 print chr$(4);"OPEN LISTFILE":print chr$(4);"WRITE LISTEFILE"
63010 list 1,62999
63020 print chr$(4);"CLOSE":end

and then do a "RUN 63000".
To convert it back to a BASIC file, use

NEW
EXEC LISTFILE
SAVE BASFILE

This doesn't work perfectly for all instances (eg. long BASIC lines or DATA
lines) but is simple.

Good luck.  They still have an answering machine, and I've pretty much decided

You can get the source or binary for my coff utility and TeX the manual.
It has a complete description of the OMF format. The description of OMF
is also in the GS/OS reference. If you have any questions about OMF, let
me know and I'll try to help out. If you don't have TeX, I can mail you
the manual if you give me your postal address.

The merlin linker will allow you to include binary files while linking.
I don't know if you can reference the data by using a label though.
Read the READ.ME.S file on your Merlin diskette.

I called Econ a month or two ago and asked about AutoArc.  I was told
that there are different compression algorithms that can be used. Sone
of which will compress more efficiently than others but will also take
a little longer than others to decompress.  The strategy will be to 
choose the most efficient compression algorithm for files which are used
infrequently and the less efficient but "speedier" algorithms for the
more frequently used files.  I am assuming that you can set the 
compression method for certain filetypes.  But, they didn't go into
much greater detail than what I have told you.

Oh yeah, they did say that they were trying to "finish" it up for
Apple Expo - East.  Since I haven't heard anything I guess they didn't
make their deadline!!  (Surprise, surprise!!!)
