ZTerm takes very little memory (only requires 300k) and will run on
6.0.x and 7.0.x versions. Modem usually are plugged in the modem port,
but ZTerm supports the printer port or anything available via the
communications toolbox. ZTerm will work with anything, but it's set up
to work with a Hayes-compatible modem. Anything past 2400 BPS will
require a hardware handshaking cable, which you can get from Macs'
Place or MacConnection, common of any term program.

Sounds very familiar. We recieved our upgrade from 3.0.0 to 3.0.3 then to 
3.0.4 . The first upgrade seems to be stable but the 3.0.4 version freezes

Dear Netters,

The Dutch version of MacWorld Magazine is preparing an article on Freeware. 
The goal is to get an insight of free software and to share the outcome with
 the Mac community. If you happen to be the author of such a goodie or just 
know of well-performing Freeware, please be so kind to send me the name of 
the program/utility and the task it performs. It would be nice too if you 
could supply the site were it is available. If you're the author, chances 
are your name and product will be published. I'll summarize for the net.

Thanks in advance for your time and effort.

I just got Gopher App from Sumex. It is a Gopher program for the

Having dealt with XFerit, Eudora, and Nuntius, I am familiar with the

There is no settings or preferences file where IP numbers can be set, so

Has anyone had similar problems with this application? Any solutions?

Don't forget, folks, ChineseTalk II *IS* *GOING* *TO* *GO* *AWAY*!!  Hopefully,
real soon now (like, a few more months).  When System 7.1 is released with
WorldScript, a whole new interface for traditional Chinese will be in place, one
that will also be used for simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.  It will
become trivial to get your machine to handle all four writing systems
simultaneously.  It will also be easy to write your own input methods.
Moreover, any application that uses the Text Services Manager correctly will
have in-line input methods.  

ChineseTalk II is a hack (albeit a brilliant one) made by Apple Taiwan to make
it possible to do traditional Chinese with System 7.  It was never intended to
be anything other than a temporary part of system software.  

This is particularly important because of the way ChineseTalk II "splits" fonts
into two copies.  ChineseTalk II 1.0 gives them both funny names and ChineseTalk
II 1.1 retains the older name (e.g., "*Ming Light*") for one and gives the other
a funny name.  This is a clever technique to make it possible to use ChineseTalk
II with ScriptManager stupid applications like Word -- but I don't think it will
be retained by WorldScript.  If you use applications that remember what font to
use by the font's name and not its number, it would be a good idea to avoid
using these funny-named fonts -- otherwise you'll have to be resetting fonts
over and over when you install WorldScript.

And after all, why should he?  Building the car did not require any
effort on his part.  He paid for a car, and he has a car.  The fact
that someone else now has a car that was not paid for is no skin off
his nose.

However, the people responsible for making the car possible, who
put in the long hours, the time, the money, the thought behind creating
the car, on the other hand, have the right to be pissed off.  

This moocher is getting the product of their efforts, their brains,
their work, and returning nothing for it.  There is really no difference
between pirating software and hiring a construction contractor to
build an extension on your house, and then refusing to pay for it.

I tried it.  It's an extremely simple program that seems to let you

I am used to working with Freehand, Pagemaker and a Laserwriter IINT.  So
whenever I need to create graphics, I simply create them in Freehand, save
them as an EPS file and import them into my Pagemaker document.

Now I am working with the same software but I am printing to a Stylewriter.
 As it is a non-postscript printer, an EPS file does me no good at all.  I
need a graphics program as flexible as Freehand which can create other
formats (perhaps PICT) which will print well on a Stylewriter.  Are there
any good powerful graphics programs out there which fit these needs?  Does
the newest version of Freehand save as other formats -- I am working with
an older version.  I need to create a flyer with a detailed map on it (soon
-- in the next few days) and I didn't even think about not being able to do
it because I'm so used to working with the laser printer.  What are my
options?

Could be Word's "Fractional Widths", where it takes advantage of the

Take a good look at TN3270 by Peter DeCamillo, Brown University.  This is
a *very* good 3270 IP based telnet.  It can do all the popular variations
of 3270's (I use Mod 3B, 32x80), complete color control, and even 3270
graphics (I regularly capture SAS images for "cleanup").
 
It is available via anonymous FTP from brownvm.brown.edu.  I'm sure this
won't be the only recommendation you get for this gem. 
 
There are other app's readily available to do the rest of the functions
you mention, albeit I'm not aware any "one" application that does it all.
 It would probably be a monster!!!!

This brings up an interesting aside. I would not say the programmers in general
hold firmly to the philosophy of GNU. As a matter of fact I would say that
most think it is not a good idea. Stallman can spout this becuase he has a
no strings attached grant. I am not so lucky. I have a 40 hour a week job. 
Some of the software I develop is sold becuase it can be, and in turn that 
money supports approx 1/4 of my salary (the rest is a state line item). So what
you propose is that I give everything away and take a 1/4 cut in salary. I am
already underpaid, but the freedom of academia is worth the difference between
what I do make and what I could make. Neverless a 1/4 cut in salary is not
worth that. I would become a car mechanic, at least folks will not argue that
I should give that servie away for free.

People pay premium prices for hardware, they make lots of money with computers
and software, why should programmers not be able to collect for providing the
service of making computers useful. I would not imagine that most computer
users can program well enough to make their computers useful. So they pay
programmers to do that for them. Granted each computer use does hire a
programmer or a teacher to teach them to program. Instead they buy software so
a programmer is hired (if you will) by from tens to thousands of people. They
are hired to make computers useful and easy to use. They provide a service.
Some are better than others, but some janitors are better than others. Maybe
software should be considered a type of co-op. But that is full of it's own 
problems,i.e. how much support is each member of the co-op expected to get, 
and the list goes on.
