I don't think this is really the place to request the information that I am
about to request, but seeing as how this is the only newsgroup's feed that
I keep up with, here goes :  I am in need of a list of SHAREWARE companies.  I
am doing an independent survey concerning the lucretivity of SHAREWARE 
software.  I heard there is a list floating around the ftp sites, but I can't
seem to get a hold of it.........

Any help would be appreciated.          thanks!

  Well, I've witnessed version .59 fall into a dead loop playing a note
over and over...but this happened after I had been running NoiseTracker
(which definately has a couple of crash bugs in it), so perhaps the memory
had been corrupted in some way.  I haven't got around to reproducing the
problem.

Bingo... Opening a resource fork "write-only" is analagous to having a disk be
"write-only"... like a disk's directory, a resoure fork's map must be able to
be read.  One concept that clears a lot of things up is this:  Think of the
resource manager as an operating system, a resource fork as a online volume,
and individual resources within the fork as files... it's an analogy that does
work quite well :)

Both these things, and much more, are in AudioZap 2.0, which will only be

You probably have the same problem that I had: The file has Linefeeds
(Control-J) as line terminators, instead of regular carraige returns
(Control-M).  Unix and Apple text files don't seem to mix well.

The easiest way to fix this is to run the file through a word processor
or some 'LF Strip' type of program before trying to EXEC it.

Gee, this is about the 4th time I've seen this problem.  Perhaps it
belongs in the FAQ.

Huh? You think ORCA would need a line terminator other than '\0'? Hmmm ....

You can use HyperUpaaf, available at calvin.sfasu.edu via anonymous
ftp.  You have to use HyperC to use it though, and possibly re-edit
the source files to use them.

Recall that ORCA does not provide strdup, since it is not part of the ANSI C

You can switch applications when a "moveable modal dialog", a construct

What came to be known as the Apple I had a production run of 200 hand-built

You do need a custom cable for the //e for a bbs. Depending on what
software you have. Paul Parkhurst makes a driver for a couple of
9600 baud modems, but you have said 2400 which makes me wonder since I
believe the name you gave goes for a 9600. But anyways you need a #3
cable that L & L makes for most. I'll get you pinouts from out net if
it is still there. Also we have a SysOp that does run his BBS on a //c.

Hey, guys...take it easy with all this flame stuff. The Apple //gs is a great
computer, with it's potential being tapped more and more, each day! I will use
mine until it dies! In fact, I plan on purchasing Sound Meister Pro (when it's
available) and Formulate (for my engineering reports). One of the sad things
about Apple //gs software is that once you buy software from a company, they go
belly up, leaving the user stranded. I've bought several programs, only to have
the respective companies give me the shaft. (Stuff like Paintworks Gold, Copy
II Plus, Hacker II, World Games, the list goes on and on....) Hopefully, the
new companies emerging in the Apple // Market now will continue to stick it
out. 

What does all this have to do with Jimi Hendrix? Nothing really, except that I
think Jimi Hendrix revolutionized guitar playing, much like the Apple //
revolutionized personal computers! Hendrix and the Apple //gs, FOREVER!!!

P.S. Any Hendrix MODs, Soundsmith songs out there???

    I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is at the Supra end.  There have
been numerous complaints on the Supra Tech Support BBS about the modem
"hanging" after retraining.  I used to have a USR Dual Standard v.32 and it
is definitely more robust and reliable than the newer Supra.  It works
perfectly 98% of the time (the Supra, that is), but the remaining 2% can
really annoy you.

Yup, these should work. You need the 28-pin ones. Expensive, certainly so.

Subject: OpenResourceFile problem...bug?

I am creating a resource file with CreateResourceFile. It has normal access:
$C3. This works fine.
 
I use OpenResourceFile to open it. If I ask for only write access (2), I get
error $4E, access not allowed. If I ask for read and write (3), no problem.
 
I did an osbreak on OpenGS and the open in OpenResourceFile was successful. I
didn't bother to trace OpenResourceFile from there, but it seems to me
something is wrong with it. Perhaps I'll trace through some of it later. (I
also tried OpenGS from the Exerciser. No problem there either.)
 
I only need write access, so I thought I'd be friendly and only ask for write
access, but I'll have to change it to read/write to get it to work.
 
Any ideas what is going on?
