Comment:
The First Ever Clam and Craft Cookbook is a 105k Demo that gives you a little
taste of what this huge Hypercard Program is all about.  It is a clam
cookbook,
a Clamkin coloring book, a Clamkin story book, a clam reference book, a
Clamkin
catalog, and Clamkin crafts book. The original program comes with a free Bog
Frog Clamkin figure. This program was created out of love for the MacIntosh
and
my wanting to share The Clamkin Family Cartoon characters with other Mac Users
and their families.

From: Peter N Lewis <peter@cujo.curtin.edu.au>
Subject: [*] cp/obiwan-400.hqx

ObiWan 4.0.0 is a general help system.  You can create several
databses and ObiWan will let you rapidly find information from
them.  It displays the information by temporarily taking over
several lines at the bottom of the main screen, so the information
can be displayed at any time in any program.  Portions of the
information can then be sent to the front window as if you had
typed it.  The main use of all this is to access the programming
database created from Apple's PInterfacesHelp file, which includes
the procedures, traps, global variables and errors available up
to System 7.  If you've seen Online Companion, it works similar
to that, but includes all the System 7 information.

I am currenttly trying to license the PInterfaceHelp file from Apple,
until I do that, you'll need to have you're own copy of it to generate
the database.  I was going to wait until I had licensed that to release
it, but its nearly a year old now, and I wanted to get it released before
its birthday.  You can also create other databses, for example I
have a thesaurus which is neat for checking the spelling of words
(when I can be bothered :-).

ObiWan should work in either System 6 or System 7, and doesn't take
up much memory.  It does use a lot of disk space for the databse
(the System 7 "force" database is around 720k, but you'll need a few
meg to create it from the PInterfacesHelp file).

Any programmer with a meg of disk space available and access to
the PInterfacesHelp file should definitely have a look at this (IMNVHO :-).
The normal use is to figure out the parameters of various calls, for
example, if I want to know the parameters for HOpen, I can get them
like this:
OSErr:=HOpen(vRefNum_INTEGER,dirID_LONGINT,fileName_Str255,
permission_SignedByte,VAR_refNum_INTEGER);
(that took seven key presses: cmd-` to open ObiWan, "hopen",
cmd-shift-enter to find it and type it in above).

ObiWan is free.

I hope it proves as useful to you as it does to me,
   Peter.

Subject: [*] Filemaker_Pro_Contacts+14.hqx

CONTACTS+ is a Filemaker Pro (version 1.x) database. It's main
purpose is to allow proper address details to appear (even
when some components of the address are omitted such as the
organization, country etc...) in Microsoft Word print-merge
documents. Other than that, you should find that CONTACTS+ is
just about as powerful and usable as any other `commercial'
Contacts database/manager.

    Docu+ is a document manager. It is used in conjunction with
Contacts+ v 1.4 or higher. You can create and store simple
1 page documents in Docu+ and then use the MiniLetter helper
facility in Contacts+ to access the text stored in Docu+
to create print-merge (1 page only) letters.

    Plea: If you feel that CONTACTS+ or Docu+ has some useful
value, & want to encourage ME to improve CONTACTS+ and develop
 other `affordable & useful' databases, & want to receive future
updates via email (personally sent by me), PLEASE send me a
cheque (in Australian $) payable to: Andrew Lee, or any
currency, for ANY amount that you find appropriate. I will
email (internet) you the latest version of CONTACTS+
including its registered user's password. If you do adopt ideas
>From Contacts+ for your own database, don't forget to include
me in the list of persons to thank :-). All suggestions for
improvements are welcomed.

Subject: [*] Hexmines 1.2

One of the most common shareware game themes recently have been the
"Mines" theme, where you locate mines in a minefield from knowing how
many neighbour mines there is for every free square you find. This is
yet another, but on the hexagonal grid.

Enhancements since 1.1: Lots of them, though you will probably care most
about:
- When it fails to generate a solveable game, it retries until it succeeds
or the user aborts.
- Three game board sizes.
- Two playing modes: Find the Path or Find All.

The game is freeware.

Subject: [*] MacSokoban 2.1

This is an update for my Mac version of the famous puzzle game Sokoban.
It is the game where you push bags of gold (or whatever) in order to
rearrange them to a desired position. MacSokoban features color graphics
with animation, support for external modules with extra levels, good
mouse support as well as the standard keyboard support.

50 levels are built into the game, and 35 more are in an external module.
Users can put together their own modules.

This version fixes a few bugs and cosmetic flaws, but most importantly,
has revised sound routines that are safer under System 7.

Freeware. (Distribution on CD restricted.)

   Mandella is a wonderful graphics program for color Macs. It draws
a wide array of different fractal images. This file contains Mandella
8.2, a 35-page MS-Word manual, and 28 sample files. Mandella is loaded
with features including: multiple Mac style fractal windows, seven special
purpose  windows, 69 fractal types, ten draw styles, eight transforms
(including 3D), four ways to automate drawing, a palette editor, etc.
The number of fractal windows is limited only by memory. Mandella works
on any color Mac with System 6 or later. Shareware $40.

   Version 8.2 Changes
   1) Fixed a few Orbital fractal bugs.
   2) Improved handling of Fractint par files a great deal.
   3) Fixed the conflict with Now Menus 4.0.1
   4) Removed Lambda, Mark, and Hopalong2 fractals.
   5) The Status window now shows the grid spacing.

Subject: 2 Monitors on a DuoDock...(c)

Well actually this problem happens to me quite a few times and I DON'T have
a duo. I have IIci and if I switch between say a 12" color and a 13" color
monitor, the internal video automatically reverts to B&W. Not very
thoughtful, but since it's not a daily, or even weekly occurance I didn't
bother with any of it. But here's a suggestion that might work. And then
again it might not...

In any case, get a utility such as Now MultiMaster in the old 3.0 version
(and I guess Now Menus in the 4.0.1 version) or a shareware program called
Apollo. Both of these and probably others allow you to set a monitor depth
for indiviual programs for switching on the run. All you have to do is set
the `Finder' program to have a certain depth. Upon startup, the utility
will automatically switch to the desired bit depth, in theory. Anyway try
it and tell me how it works. Btw Apollo, while an excellent utility may be
slightly buggy with other exotic extensions. Hence it has disappeared from
my startup.

[2^32 is about 4Gb, or a bit more than the size of our hard disk (heh).
 I don't think any current models can access more than a puny 128Mb. ROM
 location, NuBus addresses, etc. conspire to limit the program address space
 to less than is numerically possible. I've read that the PowerPC Macs will
 have the OS located above 2Gb, potentially allowing that much real memory.]

Do you eat grapes with a spoon?
Don't use the installer!
On the Network Products Installer disk, _inside_ the "AppleTalk
Files" folder, is the "AppleTalk" document. Drag that into your
Extensions folder. Then drag "Network" into your Control Panels
folder. AppleTalk 58.0 will load at startup. You can check your
Appletalk version in the Network control Panel.
If this doesn't work, ResEdit will do the trick.

Odd.  I put the Network Installer 1.3 disk into my PB 170 and the Easy

I noticed that Apple posted a message saying that it had removed the
new Network Installer.  This was the version that installed the new
network cp and AppleTalk version 58.

Apple posted the following message:
************************************************************************

Network Software Installer 1.3 is not a released product.  It is neither

ATM 2.0.3 IS 32-bit clean (I've been running it in 32-bit mode since I
got it without a hitch).  Chances are you've got a conflict with some

What's the difference between Stuffit Classic and Stuffit Lite? Is Lite
supposed to replace Classic, do they work together, or is Lite an attempt
by Alladin to dilute Stuffit to cause people to buy the Deluxe version?

Many thanks for any wisdom you can offer on this!

A Merry and a Happy to you, too!

StuffIT Lite supersedes StuffIT Classic (Classic 1.6 can create and
expand Deluxe 2.x archives while Lite creates and expands Deluxe 3.x
archives--and expands Compact Pro as well as all StuffIT formats).

Gad, the conspiratorial view of developers.  I don't work for, nor have
I ever worked for, nor do I ever expect to work for, Aladdin, but
they've always been VERY nice to me.  StuffIT Lite has SIGNIFICANTLY
more features than StuffIT Classic (1.5.1 or 1.6).  If you send in the
shareware fee, the registered version adds features the 'trial' version
doesn't have.  StuffIT Deluxe has even more bells & whistles (SpaceSaver
and Magic Menu ship with it, for example) and delivers sufficient value
on it's own to justify buying it (if you choose to buy StuffIT Deluxe 3
>From your favorite mail order vendor instead of paying the Lite
shareware fee, the additional features are well worth the price
difference).

Support software developers who treat customers right and you won't
find cynicism necessary nearly as often!

Until I added RAM to my PB 170 (making adding AutoDoubler more
practical), I used the Internal Compressor on everything in sight.  I've
also used in heavily on my Quadra's extensions and control panels as
well as those on the IIci at the office.  The compressor reports that a
number of things are already compressed as tight as they're going to go,
and for one reason or another declines to compress a few other things,
but I've not any problems with a single thing I've compressed.

Reformatting a hard drive often works but usually is a more drastic
solution than the original problem calls for.  I use a lot of startup
items, but not everything possible.  It sounds like you found one (maybe
more) that doesn't like being compressed.  Simply replacing the
miscreants might have worked as well and taken less time.

>Then, in for I think unrelated causes, my external 105 meg drive

FileSaver does NOT conflict with AutoDoubler (many of us run both).  If
AutoDoubler finds lots of things to compress, it creates enough
temporary files that FileSaver's tracking tends to fill with AD
temporary documents, and I've read reports that if FileSaver is used to
recover a compressed document it loses the Type and Creator information
and the document typically can't be expanded (I'm not really sure about
that one because it seems pretty easy to confuse files with AD temporary
documents that aren't really meant to be recovered).  I've rarely had
occasion to depend on FileSaver, but it's worked fine in the few
instances where I've had need of it.  FileSaver is in no way an
alternative to keeping current backups.  I'm considering buying Fifth
Generations Public Utilities, which reportedly works well with that same
company's AutoDoubler.

There are some limitations to using ANY of the compression utilities.
Most of us find the alternative of spending big bucks for a twice as
large hard drive an even larger impediment.  From what I've been
reading, Mac Stac (February) may be a more satisfactory solution;
however, it might turn out to suffer at least some of the flaws
associated with Times Two (incompatibility with disk recovery utilities
which want to substitute their own driver when directories are damaged,
for example).

Umm, nope. UULite probably by default set the creator/type to GCon/GIFf.
If he says it's *supposed* to be a Word file, then it's doubtful that it
really is a GIF format image. From the original poster's description, using
UULite or other tool for uudecoding was at least the proper first step.

So, what he needs is to find a utility that handles the AppleSingle format
(I *know* I've seen something that will work with them -- hold on <gopher
the util abstracts, search "AppleSingle", found it!> -- try
/info-mac/util/tiger-11.hqx). I don't know if TIGER will care what the file
creator/type are (if it doesn't see the file, try changing them to
????/????).
That should do it.

To which Brad Ackerman (brad@n1mnb.oau.org) responded:

>That's a GIF file.  You read it with GIFConverter.  It is most definitely
>NOT a MS Word file.

NO, NO, NO!  UU-Lite will assign whatever creator/type that it is told to
assign.  If you are sure that it is a MSWord 4.0 file then set UU-Lite to
assign that creator/type (MSWD/WDBN if I remember correctly) to the file.
You do this by selecting "Change Creator/Type" from the "Special Menu" and
then selecting any MSWord 4.0 file from the Standard File Selection Dialog.
UU-Lite will display the creator/type of the example file and you then
confirm that it is the correct type.  Once you have set the creator/type to
MSWord 4.0 then convert the QuickMail message using UU-Lite and you will have
a file with MSWord 4.0 creator/type.  If it really is a MSWord 4.0 file then
just open and read.  If its not, well good luck.

These cross platform translators are great BUT they also provide multiple
opportunities to make a fool of yourself.  If you don't know how the software
works . . . don't give advice.

What planet have your local Mac gurus been on the last couple of years?

Finder's normal way of locating them is broken (Finder's Find command
usually can find them although they'll 'disappear' again).

Does anyone really believe that without a disclaimer: A)The poster is a
mindless drone presenting the official view of his overlords. B)The
info-mac community is full of litigous malcontents itching to sue ANYBODY
who voices an opinion they disagree with. C)The Supreme Court will uphold
the conviction of a company based on a public email posting of the opinion
of one of the engineering staff?  D)Posters are in danger of not getting
the credit they deserve for their opinions (maybe they should be called
"Claimer(s)" since they always add up to "don't you DARE think anyone else
is responsible for this opnion!")

When someone posts a message with official "weight" it always says
something like "we at XYZ have determined that..." and is signed "Joe, XYZ
CEO or Susan, XYZ Customer Service" or some such.

IMHO Disclaimers are like overdone signatures: bandwidth bloaters.  Perhaps
less paranoia is called for.

In Excel 4.0, you now have the choice of selecting the starting page # via the
Page Setup dialog. I set up a spreadsheet to start at page 2, since I wanted

insert a page from another program before the worksheet. I asked Excel to
print
page 2, but it printed the next page down in the worksheet. I did some
experimenting and found out that even if you change the starting page number
in
the page setup, you still have to use the old numbering scheme (from 1 through
to the end) in the Print dialog.

It certainly can't be a feature to have to tell the Print dialog to print page
1 and have a page numbered "2" come out of the printer.

Just thought I'd let everyone know, so they can work around this BUG. I am
