 I recently saw the movie "Candyman" and liked it. You all know the plot is
based on a story by Clive Barker called "The forbidden" But where can I find
this short story? It isn't part of one of the "Books of blood", is it?
Paperback edition preferred, thanks! Maybe it's a book on it's own...

Yep! right! In fact, King played in many of his film, unoticed usually. He
played un CREEPSHOW and CREEPSHOW II, he played in PET SEMATARY, he played
also in THE SLEEPWALKER. He must have appeared in other movies as well, I
may not have noticed.

Well, I've seen ads in comics for "Army of Darkness" directed by Sam Raimi (sp)
to be released sometime very soon, but it doesn't say anywhere on them that
it is actually E.D. III.  The add shows buddy with the chainsaw, tho'.

I heard this from my local book shop (A specialty

from Donald M. Grant, so.....

Yes, but fan demand in the sense of it had always been listed in the
"BY STEPHEN KING" pages of his books, but never available.  There was
a mystery about the book, and the publishers took advantage of that
mystery when they published the first two.

Please check on that one.....
I'm meaning to write Mr. Grant and Mr. King asking about this one
myself, and I'd love to hear the story behind this one...

 You didn't like "Day of the Dead"? Despite some hammy moments, the film,

I liked this film a lot, so I'm wondering what other people found
wrong with it.  I realize it did extremely poorly (right?) in
theatres.  I managed to get an uncensored copy of this film, which in
Canada, is nearly impossible.  A friend picked it up for me in the
states.  I checked the labels on the tape and the box and the numbers
were different.  Oh great, I thought, censored!

So I sat down about a year later to watch it with my girlfriend, when
i suddenly noticed:  "Hey wait a second! that was BLOOD!" and to my
joy, it wasn't censored at all.

If you've got access to a mac, you could use Apple File Exchange to go
from ProDos -> Mac, and then from Mac -> MSDOS (i think).  at  least
this sounds good to me.  it's possible that the script for going to
msdos doesn't come with File Exchange, but i'm pretty sure there's one
floating around somewhere.

Subject: applemu

The "other emulator" that someone mentioned, "APPLEMU", is available at
wilbur.stanford.edu .  I've gotten it and tried it, and I think it really
deserves at least a look by everyone.

1) It handles disk swapping.  One function key (F5?) prompts for the new
disk in Drive 1 (you type in a file name); the next key (F6?) prompts for
Drive 2's.

2) It asks if the disk is to be write protected.

3) It runs on 8088s on up.  You need a CGA or better.  I can run it on a
Hercules card with a CGA simulator.

4) Other function keys:
      F1 - RESET (resets the apple)
      F2 - Quit emulator
      F3 - Left arrow
      F4 - Right arrow
      F7 - Set up the com port
      F8 - (nothing, but I see a stub in the code where F8 was "Debug")

  Notice!  "PrintScreen" worked on my set up.

A very solid emulator, including COM port support.

(A few not-so-greats: It's a 48K Apple ][+, and uses a 243K .DSK file that
is on the nybble level.)

It may not be your emulator of choice, but it served to remind me that
features like disk swapping can be had with a little programming effort.

I realize that this is beating a dead horse, most likely, but I felt I had
to ask someone about this since I was so close.

I ftped the Apl2Em Apple Emulator and the A2PCTRAN program for making disk
images through a null modem cable.  I (much to my surprise) actually got
my Apple's serial port working when I was home for Xmas, and tried the
A2PCTRAN program.  The A2PCTRAN consists of a Kermit script which is supposed
to cause the Apple to binary dump its disk 6,1 out to the serial port.
With high hopes for playing the original Castle Wolfenstein on my IBM, I set
out.  No sooner had I issued the take command than nothing happened.  Not a
hum of the disk drive, nothing.  I think I realized a bug or typo in the last
line of the Apple ][ Monitor program (which was supposed to be, I believe, the
Apple ][ version of Int 15h in DOS).  At any rate, the Monitor program did not
work.  If anyone knows of a way to get the Apple to dump to its serial port
(which on my Apple is in Slot 2), please e-mail to me or post an answer here.

It's probably hopeless, but I was so close I figured that I would give it one
last shot.

Thanks for the help.

Subject: Legal Source of ROMs

I was going to remind everyone that the ROMs in an Apple computer are
accessible, demonstrating the idea with my clone, but it hasn't worked.
That's because I have a Laser, not a real Apple.

I TRIED to port over the ROMS from my Laser EX/2, starting with the
following commands:

BSAVE SERIAL.BIN, A$C200, L256
BSAVE FLOPPY.BIN, A$C600, L256
BSAVE  APPLE.BIN, A$D000, L$3000

The resulting files are the memory dumps of the ROMs.  When I ported them
over to the IBM, I had to strip off the leading four bytes and trailing
bytes ... that isn't too hard.

Alas, the Laser ROMs are still too different, and Apl2em choked out
something like "Badly formatted Serial ROMs".

I would be very interested if someone has been able to do this with a real
Apple-Computer-Inc. Apple.  Or if someone knows that SERIAL.ROM is not a
real dump of a Super Serial Card rom.

Would someone like to forward me a working SERIAL.ROM?  I have a good
APPLE.ROM and DISK.ROM, it turns out.

I'm running Apl2Em version 2.

1) It is configurable.  The file APPLE.INI is very easy to figure out.
   So I took out the serial card, since I'm not going to use it.  And
   I added a few more disk controllers, since I certainly can use more

2) If you have a disk controller in Slot 7, it will boot off that.

As the README on wilbur says, the zip files are compressed with
Info-Zip's zip program and (old?) versions of pkunzip may not be able
to unzip them.  Info-Zip's unzipper is widely available at many sites

    I've been running the original Aple2Em, and also the emulator called
"applemu".  They both require CGA or better, but I've found that using
a CGA simulator like CGASIM gets them working great on a Hercules card.
(Well, Version APL2EM is not *great* on that setup; the keyboard is very
non-responsive.)

    Version 2 of Aple2Em, and also "applemu", both have a great keyboard
response with the CGASIM-Hercules setup, but Version 2 of apl2em no longer
runs graphics.  Guess that means Apl2Em-2 is trying to act directly with the
graphic card hardware.

    Not really bothering me, but I thought someone out there would appreciate
knowing.

I downloaded it all and unzipped it.  One of the first things I wanted
to do was MASM it and LINK it.

No go.  I have access to an 80286 with a megabyte (that is, the usual
640K and another 384K of extended memory).  But it reliably yells:

     * Out of memory *

... on each assembly, then goes on to fail on the next module.


My problem is that I don't know if I'm REALLY out of memory, or if
the code, which is heavily macroed, is in an infinite macro.

Can anyone with the experience shed some light here?

The substantial obstacles that face academic writers of hypertext are a
great nuisance-- Greg Crane predicted this at the first hypertext
conference back in 1987, and it has not yet been overcome.

One alternative, of course, is to find a publisher specializing in
hypertext. Eastgate Systems, Inc., my employer, publishes hypertext
fiction and non-fiction; we'd be interested in your project.

Several university presses have expressed at least a tenative willingness
to publish hypertexts. Yale University Press publishes the Perseus
Project-- a very important hypertext on ancient Greek literature and art.
Oxford publishes some electronic editions of classic works. Rutgers has
something in the works. Other university presses are taking a serious look at
the matter.

Other trade publishers are sometimes willing to publish software adjuncts
to conventional books, and might even consider a pure hypertext. Lawrence
Erlbaum Associates distributes Jay Bolter's WRITING SPACE hypertext at
cost to people who read the paper version of Writing Space. Random House,
Apple, and Voyager have a 3-way deal to create electronic editions of 
The Modern Library, and many other publishers are looking closely at the
project.

I'm a historian, and I'm experimenting with the use of hypertext
in the representation of historical complexity.  My current project
is an attempt to represent the cultural and religious traditions
that converged in the life and thought of the Methodist reformer
John Wesley (1703-1791). Hypertext links (I'm simply using Windows
Help as my platform) allow me to develop a multi-threaded narrative 
in which the reader can follow traces representing different cultural
or religious traditions and their impact on Wesley. 

But what if I proceed with this project and want it to be received 
in academe on the level of books that are peer-reviewed, e.g., books
published by university presses?  The document is easy to distribute:
it's s single pc file.  But if I were simply to release it, that would
be perceived as the equivalent of publishing through a vanity press
(read: "Instant academic death"). 

Are the precedents, perhaps in other fields than religious studies/
historical studies, for the development of peer-review networks
or more general academic publishing networks for hypertext documents
and studies?

The Humanist list has had an ongoing discussion of the lack of
support for electronic publication in the humanities.
Never-the-less, humanities electronic journals and peer review
publications continue.  One of the most successful peer review
electronic publications is Psycholoqy which announces articles
for review on Usenet and elsewhere, then makes the articles
available by ftp at Princeton.  In religious studies, Michael
Strangelove at University of Toronto has compiled vast online text
archives and bibliographies and can probably point you to
electronic publishing options in the field.
