I've been using DayMaker, which is nicely designed and cheap.  I've heard 
good things about ThoughtPattern as well, although I haven't tried it.  If 
you need to coordinate with other people on a network, Now Up-To-Date is

If you have macsbug installed, you had a pretty good shot.  If not, well,
you wrote it all out on paper, right?  ;-)
From my experiences, the temp files are mostly worthless, as you noted.
If Word crashes and you enter macsbug, then the esc key will get you the
screen at the time of the crash.  You can get some of the text from this.
For the rest of it (which is usually the case), try displaying memory off
the address registers.  If you're only dealing with one file, a1 seems
to do the trick.  Put in a nice big number, and keep scrolling till you
find your paper:

dm a1 50000

should be quite sufficient.  This info is for future problems, of course,
since this only works at the time of the crash.

We have an application called Formulator from a company called ICOM
Simulations.  It is a standalone equation editor.  It fails on System
7 - vertical spacing is wrong; for example, superscripts are placed
five to 10 lines above the thing being superscripted, etc.  (The Mac
is a IIsi with 7.0.1+tuneup, 5 Meg, nothing special.)

We have several files we'd like to somehow continue to work with, so
this is quite a problem for us.

I still have the carton, which has a phone number (312) 520-4440.
When I call this number, it seems to be disconnected.  I remember
hearing vaguely that some other company had picked up the product
but was no longer supporting it (?) - I don't know where to start
at this point.

Any help appreciated.

Subject: Excel 4.0 add-ins
Date: 2 Sep 92 13:02:55 GMT
Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation


 I dislike the way add-ins are handled in Excel 4.0. The add-ins
 Manager stores the full path of an add-in module, and complains if there is a
 single quote (') or a bang (!) in the path. Well, of course my disk is called
 "Rich's Disk" and Excel didn't like that. So I changed it. I then find that to
 edit the location of an add-in module requires one to type the full path to
 it! On a Mac??!! I don't think I've typed a full path since I bought the
 machine. 

 I also find that re-adding (at least this uses SFGetFile) an existing module
 doesn't appear to cause the path to be updated in the Manager; rather, I must
 remove and re-add the offendig module, which is S L O O O W (on a IIci with
 cache card, no less).

 Some things I wish they had done:

 o I wish the add-ins were pre-compiled (maybe they are, but they are still
 slow).

 o If it must use paths, they should be relative to the Excel folder, not the
 entire disk.

 o Adding to the Manager a module that exists should cause its path to be
 updated.

 o One should be able to select multiple add-ins for removal instead of one at
 a time.

 Otherwise, I like Excel pretty well, but I think the add-in stuff could use
 some polish.

Date: 31 Aug 92 09:13:37 GMT

Organization: Galloway Research
Originator: johng@godzilla

If I were to give up A/UX, going to just sys 7, what would replace the
ability to have multiple windows (command shell) with varying fonts/pt sizes,
logged into various machines?

I could use MacX/xterm, but then I would have to first telnet to each host
(via say Versaterm) and then fire up an xterm, seems like a pain.  Versaterm
alone won't allow multiple windows (or at least I can not get it to open them,
though it uses the telnet tool just fine for one).  And while I am on the
subject, VersaTerm also only goes up to a 12 pt font.  I like to use
18 pt courier in a 40 line window.  Not exactly vt100ish, but in the
A/UX command shell it works like a charm, and I can have N of them with
different sizes and fonts (i.e. a 130 column 12 pt, etc) what Mac app
will give me this?.

	-jrg
p.s.
  I have to plans to drop A/UX, but since rlogin is about all I do these
  days that is unix-ish, I was wondering what the world would be like
  if I went to just sys 7.

Here's another quirk for all you Retropect users out there in netland. It
seems Retrospect defaults to backing up over whatever network channell you
have selected in the chooser. Which sucks, because, we have out network on
appletalk (not ethernet to keep software on it from being run anywhere on
the site) but you've gotta be crazy or have nothing to do w/ your life if
you want Retrospect to work over appletalk. Q: Is there a way to connect to
a file server over appletalk, and still use ethernet for Retrospect? If
this is not possible, you guys at Dantz should really make it happen. I
mean I can use ehernet for reading news while still connected to a file
server, why not both like this, too?

By the bay, I originally had a problem when using a external SCSI ethernet
box as the Retrospect site. But now that I have a ethernet card, I *am*
able to backup remote devices w/ and external Ether SCSI box... in case
anyone else wants to try this config, If you already have some external
SCSI ether boxes you may not have to get rid of 'em all. Just move 'em to a
dif machine.

I use McSink v7.0A with system 7 with no problem what so ever.  Snagged it

An "updated" version would be the commercial package Vantage (same idea,
more features, written by the same guy), which is not worth it, IMHO.

Summary: ResEdit & More -- the saga
Keywords: ResEdit, More, Compress, purple cows
Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 07:40:47 GMT


There are some applications, of which More 3.1 (& 3.0), and
MacTools 2.0 are two examples, that use 'resource compression'
to save disk space -- ie: they automagically are installed already 
compressed, MDS & AutoDoubler (etc) will not shrink them.

I would very much like to ResEdit some of the 'MENU' (and
other!!!) definitions in More, but unlike the compression used
by Apple, ResEdit does not automagically expand these.

Each compressed resource invariably starts with: 'A89F 000C'

First I tried using 'CodeSucker' to grab such a resource, and put
it back in the original, but this leads to bombs.  Maybe I just
did not do something right, but I am quite comfortable w/ ResEdit.

Then, in 'CODE' resource 23758 (number may not be right, but it is the only
More 3.1 'CODE' resource > 200) several large tables exist, one of which
seems to be of the form:
	resource type (4bytes)
	resource id   (2 bytes)
	???           (2 bytes)
        0 (at leat for all entries i saw) (2 bytes)
        ???           (2 bytes)
changing the 'resource id' entry (to an non-existant resource) for the
resource I was trying to replace did not help.  I had hoped that the 
resource loader would only try to uncompress an entry found in the table.

Clues?  I'll summarize/post for anyone interested...

Let my tell you what I have heard:

1.  The CD player hardware was explicitly designed so that digital sound
	data could not be sampled from the SCSI port.  This was done to 
	prevent people from easily boot-legging music in digital format.
	I know of several audio amplifiers that have digital inputs, but
	( and I don't keep up with this stuff ) I don't know of any audio
	CD players that have digital output.

2. 	I have a co-worker who went to Comdex last year and when he came back
	he told me that he had seen a PC product that could sample digital
	music from a CD ROM drive.  I told him I didn't think it was possible 
	and he said he saw it, it must be true.

3.	A friend of mine asked me your same question and I asked my co-worker
	who made the product he described and he disavowed any knowlege of
	said products.  

Since I read item 1. in a computer magazine, I think I will stand by that
until I hear otherwise ( and I would love to hear otherwise. )

As more and more applications appear, which write out files with custom icons,
this problem will get worse. Already paint/draw applications are doing this

Depends on the content of the presentation.  If you need detailed drawings 
(complex graphs, 3-D plots, etc) you should look at MacDraw Professional 
operating in the "slide" mode.  If you just want "business" graphics, however, 
McD Pro is overkill.
