Bruno,

at work I use a Mac IIci, 20MB RAM, 32bit addressing on (as needed to get 
more than 8MB RAM).
The machine works fine, no problems at all. It seems you've got some 
incompatible inits, applications or the like in your system. Try a clean 
install (trashing your old system folder), add one extension at a 
time; then reboot. This way you should be able to locate any incompatible 
init/cdev.

I can't comment on the relative quality of the fonts; however, I tend to stay 
away from TrueType fonts in order to avaoid the additional time required
to download the TrueType driver to my Postscript printer. The general 
impression I have received is that TrueType fonts are preferred over
postscript fonts only if you are using a non-Postscript printer.

I've purchased the FontBank package and have been generally very pleased with
it. I still haven't used more than 20% of the fonts in this package although
its nice to know I have them around should I ever need them. :-) I can't
comment on the Fluent Fonts package, but I still use Adobe fonts whenever
possible for text (as ooposed to the novelty display fonts used for
headlines).
I think that Adobe puts more effort into their font design than some of the 
inexpensive font publishers and this can become quite noticible when using small
type sizes and/or high resolution output (e.g. 1240 dpi Lino output).

Subject: Help!  Need to locate update to MacTCP 1.1.1

Help!

Yesterday, I installed System 7.1 on my machine.  The installation process
left
a couple of fonts in my System file (Geneva and Monaco, I think) and I 
removed them since there were redundant.  Thanks to all who suggested this 
might be a problem!

Everything looked great, but my Mac crashed when I rebooted.  After playing 
around with the control panels and extensions, I discovered that MacTCP
version
1.1 was the culprit.  I called Apple's support line and they confirmed that
it is necessary to upgrade to version 1.1.1.  They claimed this version is free
and available from services as well as dealers.  I've looked around the net
and
have not been able to locate this file.

If you know where this beast is, please let me know!  Thanks in advance for
your help!

     Well, first of all, go to the Mouse control panel and try adjusting the
double-click speed there.  If this fails, it probably means that your
parameter
RAM is messed up somehow.  Try holding down Command-Option-P-R while powering
up the machine, and keep them held down until the startup beep sounds a second
time; this will reset the parameter RAM, and might well fix the problem
(warning: it will also reset the settings in many other control panels; you'll
have to go through and set them up properly again).  If that fails, do a full
reinstall (trashing the old System Folder).

I seem to remember hearing that there are situations or configurations
under which you can use MacTCP 1.1 with System 7.1.
What are they? (I'd rather not have to keep a 7.0.1 startup disk around
just to check my email)

The college here will probably upgrade eventually, and I'll be able to get
1.1.1 on site licence.

Date: 9 Jan 1993 06:33:20 -0500
Organization: Thinking Machines Corporation

If you are having trouble installing system software, I still think the
best way to do the job is:
(1)  Boot off a floppy, extract any resources from your old System file
that you might want to keep (sounds, fonts, FKEYs, drivers), put them
somewhere safe then trash the System.
(2)  Now boot off Install 1 and install a fresh System.
The necessity of trashing the old System file is simply because any non-
Apple resources in it may well be retained in the new System file by the
Installer, and these may be incompatible with that new System.  As an 
example, I once upgraded a Mac from System 6 to System 7 and it immediately
crashed halfway through boot-up, before the Finder came up.  The cause was
an old Ethernet driver from the System 6 file which got left behind.  It 
took a session with Macsbug and ResEdit to discover that, though, and it
would have saved me some time if I'd just done what I'd prescribed.
Also, I find it is NOT a good idea to boot off your internal hard disk with
extensions off, then use the Install 1 floppy to reinstall on the hard
disk.  More often that not the Installer can still get confused and prompt
you for more than one disk simultaneously.  (Of course this doesn't explain
why I could NEVER boot off the Install 1 disk for the first three months
after I bought my LC - it would always just after reaching the desktop.  I
had to boot off an external hard disk whenever I wanted to reinstall the
system on the internal hard disk.  After that initial period, however, the
Install floppy "magically" rectified itself.  I still have no idea what the
cause was!)

With only 8Mb of RAM, you don't need 32-bit addressing - it's really for

Do take the time to investigate...
There have been reports of ill fit of components that, given conditions,
shorted
or pressed the mechanism causing start up. Much to the consternation of the

Also, PowerBook coupled with appropriate modem can wake from sleep to answer

Don't you have the manual?  The NT stands for something like Narrow ...
I do not remember exactly.  The problem is due to chinese characters
were represented as 2 bytes.  In chinese, every character is
self-contained in a rectanglar area and no space needed to separate
them.  So how can word processors determine when to do a wrap-around
to next line?  Some s/w like hypercard can do it well, while for others,
you need to insert space.

If you ought to take care inserting space when the line reach right hand
margin, it is a headache just like you do not have auto wrap around and
proportional spacing even not work.

One solution is to have a space between every character (every 2 bytes).
It leads to another problem: there exists too much space between chars.
NT fonts are fonts with narrow space (you can insert wide space by using
chinese input methods) to overcome the shortage.

>Does anyone know what is the difference between the two fonts, and

The appearence of 2 fonts are same.  I keep both fonts, NT for hypercard
like s/w; MT for others e.g. WriteNow.

Geneva is the font most mac users have set for file & folder names on
their desktop.  (Check your Views control panel.)  That's probably why
it stayed in the system file.  System 7.1 is perfectly happy to use a
font that's only in your Fonts folder, though (I tried it).
