Hello mentor users,

I don't know how to save hte trace windows with the signals defined and so on,

I don't know how to save my bus    definitions. The thing is that I have to

specify the signals I want to trace and the busses I'd like to use... define th
the signals is not so long, but if you use busses in a trace it take a long
time to define everything...


Any suggestion about these problems?

Thank you very much!

Having looked at Mentor's 8.1 software and found that it is not
quite ready for our production use, we will be continuing to use
the 7.x release for the forseeable future.  We would like to have

I remember old (1972) CDC6400, which needed 0.6us for 60-bit integer
add (register to register). Because 80486 doesn't have 60-bit registers
and only 7 32-bit registers can be used for arithmetic operations, the
old CYBER can show better speed than 50MHz 80486 if most of operations
can be done on its registers and require more than 32-bit precision.
Probably an example may be converting word(s) from binary to octal
or reverse, on CYBER it can be done by straight code without loop and
without processing every byte separately (quess what way :-).
Of course CDC computers made in the 1980'th were much better (10x?).

Not currently.  We've been putting AppleEvents off lately in favor of some other
work.  (Like making the code maintainable.  The former developers left it in
an AWFUL state.)

You may want to just implement Telnet yourself and use MacTCP.  The actual
barebones Telnet protocol is rather simple.  However, if you want the user
to directly acess the Telnet session, you should probably let NCSA Telnet 
handle it.  The source for Telnet is freely available on ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu.  If
you come up with some nice enhancements... mail us the code!

I'm not sure how you would tweak Telnet's event queue.  As far as the HL events,
if you have any ideas as to how you think we could best implement them, drop
me a line and I'll forward your ideas to the other developers as well.

I think there is a program called "5PM" by Advanced Software Concepts (?).
When I took a quick look at it, it seemed to have scripting abilities.  As far
as HLE goes, I dunno.  DISCLAIMER:  I've never used the program for more than
five minutes (and a demo at that too...).  The demo should be available at one
of the Mac archive sites.

Good luck,

Thanks, but that's not quite what I had in mind. I already have option

it's the little thermometer bar that pops up and shows how many items are

It is possible to fit a minimal system onto a HD floppy.  Use the
"Customize" option from the Installer, and choose "Min. System for
(insert name of your computer here)" and click "Install."  Presto.

Of course, this requires multiple swapping of disks.  If your tricky
though, and you have the available space on your hard drive, use
"MountImage" (available via anon. FTP from sumex or Umich) to
"mount" the disk image files on your desktop.  As far as the system
is concerned, you have 4, 6 or even 10 (I think 10 is the limit)
disk drives!  Then just put your 1.4 Mb floppy in your real drive
and the installation is a snap.

It is _NEVER_ a good idea to just copy the system folder from a
floppy to your hard drive for use as a primary startup.  Always
use the installer.  Thats why Apple created it in the fist place.
Otherwise, your Mac might just as well be a PC!

BTW - if your system keeps getting "mung"ed, either get the drive
looked at, or make a copy of the system file before you play with
ResEdit.

I looked up the exact reference:  it's called {An Album of Map
                                                  ^^^^^
Projections} (not Atlas), by a guy named Snyder.  It has brief
accounts of the history and math for each projection; the same
author also has a more advanced text out (also published by USGS)
called {Map Projections: a Working Manual} which includes code
examples.  I think USGS has a 1-800 number for ordering; anyone
out there know it?

Something VERY strange has happened to one of my Syquest cartridges...

I'm getting the message "The disk "Pictures" cannot be used, because it
cannot be found" whenever I try to mount a particular Syquest drive.
The odd thing about this is that the cartridge in the Syquest drive is
NOT named "Pictures."  This is the name of the cartridge that was
PREVIOUSLY in the drive.  Somehow this cartridge is convinced its
another cartridge entirely!

Could that old name have gotten slapped into the volume header
of the new disk somehow?

I've tried rebooting but this doesn't help.  In fact... if I reboot
with the cartridge in and spinning, I get the sad Mac ascending chords
and something that looks like a messed up Macsbug window.  Can't
rebuild the desktop on a disk that won't mount.

I'm amazed that a disk with what looks like a bad file system would
crash my Mac.  And I'm amazed that I can trash a disk by just copying
files back and forth between disks.

Sigh... any ideas on how to correct this?  There's a good bit of
data on this cartridge that I want (that's how I back up stuff).

If you shop around, new carts are more like $75-$85. A while ago Computer
Shopper did an article on refilling your cartridges. It seems that the toner
tank will hold enough toner for about 3500 pages, while the rest of the
guts are good for about 12000 pages. 

If you refill your own and keep track of the refills, you can do it for about 
$12.00 a refill for the toner.  If you have a Cannon CX or SX engine, you need
to replace a felt pad (it usually comes as a kit in the box) and that is a
little more.

If you are truely adventurous, you can replace the drum with one that lasts
about 20 refills. That's the part the wears the most.

>Does anyone have any experience in the risk/rewards of refurbishing?

So far no problems, and my per copy cost is less than a penny.

($65 for the cart (I have a IIP) + 3 * $12.) / 14000 )

No, as I do my own.

During December I saw a story in MacWeek about a new compiled BASIC that could
use the entire Mac Toolbox. Now I can't find the MacWeek issue at home or at
work.  Does anyone have the name of the product and the phone number of the
company?
