The way around this is, of course, to put the laserwriter
driver (or a copy/alias of it) in the system folder.
I don't think this cure works under 7.1, though.

Try finding Adobe's individual typefaces.  The disk should come
with a utility named font downloader or something like that.
You can freely copy that utility from a friend but it's not available
on any of the ftp sites.

About 2 years ago, when I first purchased my Mac, I tried Quicken and was
very disappointed.  The version I had was only a single checkbook
register, nothing else.  No capability for credit cards, investments,
loans, or anything else unless you made a separate file.  I then tried
MYM and was very pleased.

Based on my experience, I recommended MYM to my sister to use on her PC. 
BAD MOVE.  She had sever problems, when I visited her, I tried to use it
and found that it was very difficult to use.  The problems were a more
than just the interface (graphical vs text). She picked up a copy of
Quicken and really liked it.

Based on that experience, when my son-in-law needed a personal finance
program for his PC, I picked up a copy of Quicken for him, helped set it
up, and I was impressed.

Based on my experience (which is limited and based on data that is more
than 12 months old), I would suggest Quicken on a PC and MYM for the Mac.

I have them both and only use Quicken.  It has some
shortcomings (no fiscal year capability, less complete
stocks and bonds tracking, cumbersome budgeting), but
I like the interface a LOT better.  I use it for both
all of our personal records as well as for keeping
all of the financial records for the private school
for which I am the treasurer.

We no longer do any development work on Disinfectant, and haven't for
almost two years now. We keep it up to date as new viruses appear, but
that's all.

So there is not going to be any System 7 savvy version.

There haven't been any new Mac viruses for a long time now, so there
haven't been any new versions of Disinfectant. The current version is 2.9.
If a new virus does appear, the next version of Disinfectant will be

Keywords: Telnet 2.5, function keys, key codes
Organization: Indiana University
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 14:50:52 GMT

Greetings folks!
I need help with re-mapping the function keys on the Mac keyboard (not the
FKEYS). The Macintoshes are using NCSA/BYU Telnet 2.5 to connect to a UNIX
mainframe. The Unix host is running software that REQUIRES the use of the
function keys, and shift-combinations thereof. Yes, this program was designed
for use with DOS machines.
I have played around with ReEdit 2.1, but have been unable to re-map the
function keys for either the Telnet application OR the system. As far as I can
tell, it doesn't matter what I assign to the function keys, they always send
the same codes. I hae successfully re-mapped other common keys, though.

So, can anyone offer some ideas? How can I re-map the function keys?
Or at the very least tell me what key codes are currently being sent from the
function keys? If I knew that, maybe we could set up a termcap entry on the
Unix host.

Any thoughts, ponters and/or programs would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If by "fax machine" you mean one which scans paper, then the quality should
