Subject: (Q) Keyboard menus in 7.1
Date: 22 Jan 93 11:56:53 MET
Organization: University of Basel, Switzerland

I recently upgraded to Sys 7.1, for the most part for
having the benefit of the date, time and keyboard
customization opportunity. You see, I'm an ITALIAN
doctor, I'm working in SWISS, and for my work a write
a lot in ENGLISH.
All fine, but I discovered that on my Sys 7.1 copy
the Keyboard menu options, the one between Balloon
Help and the little application icon on the right
of the menu bar, is disabled.
Now, I suppose that, as always, with a little of
ResEditing, I probably can re-abilitate it.
This will be very convenient for me, since, as you
may know, in Italian we have a lot of a' e' u' and
so on, and in German a lot of    and so on.
I'm waiting for your help!

One solution is Insight Development Corporation from CA(?)

No relation to the company or anything, it's just that one of the people I

Escapade, a most nifty control panel, will probably handle this stuation
just fine, without even needing QuicKeys. I use it all the time for this
sort of thing and haven't been bugged by the new style alerts, so I guess
it subconcioulsy just works right. You can pick it up at any fine ftp

PictPixie will do this but it is buggy and slow and has a horrible user

There is a much nicer version of pictPixie called pictCompressor on the

Photoshop also does this.

Of course, I could turn each extension off one at a time, restart, and see that

If you really want to be able to the Classic to startup like a IIci, you need t
o buy something called a PowerKey. You plug your Mac and two other devices into
 the PowerKey and you plug the PowerKey between the keyboard and the Mac. Then
you can just push the power-on button on the keyboard and PowerKey does the res
t. You can even program it to startup at certain times. You can also buy anothe
r module that (I think) allows you to dial into your computer with a modem and
turn it on.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are interested in, but as it is
marginally useful information anyway, I will relate it:

The shareware program "FileTyper 3.2" will let you modify certain attributes
of files, folders, and volumes, such as type/creater and invisibile file bits.
 When I open my hard drive with FileTyper, one of the checkboxes given is
"Name Locked or IsSystem".  After checking the box the name of the volume
can't be changed.  Hope that helped someone.

This occurs when you have shut your modem off prior to shutting down
the machine.  ARA attempts to reset the modem so it will NOT answer
calls.  Eventually it time outs on this attempt and the shutdown proceeds.
Another interesting bug is when ARA fails to gain control of the modem
upon it's release by the terminal package ect.  In this case sometimes a
shutdown or restart attempt will actually hang the machine.  The only
way to recover this is to manually reset.

I get the same problem, System 7.0.0 on a Mac Plus with ImageWriter II, using
MacWrite II. Not only is the spacing weird, but the characters are not WYSIWYG... on
screen, for example, a 0 has no cross piece, but when printed it does. The really wierd thing, though, was when I tried to print out some C code I'd imported... On screen, all the comments were right-justified with spaces (I know you're not meant to do that, but in Think C I haven't found any other way, and its supposed to be mono-spaced anyway...). Thus a piece of code such as...

   for (j = 0L; j < si[i]->memcnt - 2; j += 3)           /* A comment */
        {    
            for (k = 0L, val = 0L; k < 3; ++k)     /* Another comment */

where the close-comment symbols are aligned would be all over the place, as Conrad has experienced... however, if the open comment symbols are aligned as well, thus:

   for (j = 0L; j < si[i]->memcnt - 2; j += 3)     /* A comment       */
        {   
            for (k = 0L, val = 0L; k < 3; ++k)     /* Another comment */

so that the comments should all appear in a nice column down the right had side of the page, the printed version appears with the open-comments all over the place, but ** the close comments are still aligned prperly **. So you get a nice right edge, but a jagged left edge... any ideas at all whats causing this? In the end I gave up and switched to Courier, which doesn't look as good as Monaco does (or should) but is at least still mono-spaced when printed...

Any help appreciated... one of the things i thought of was a conflict between the TT
version and the bitmap I keep for faster drawing on screen, but I only have the 9-point bitmap and I was printing in 12 point (so only the 12 and 24 point versions should be in use, and they must both be TT).

Well, its one to ponder...

SIMPLE CORRECT USER METHOD TO SWAP SYSTEM:

Step one place the active finder file in any folder (not the root in case
of crash) momentarily and CLOSE the current system folder

Step Two, open the new desired system folder.

Step three SELECT EITHER THE SYSTEM FILE OF THE FINDER FILE AND *WIGGLE*
THE ICON A FEW PIXELS

Step four close the desired new system folder. You should see that it has
become immediately blessed.

Step Five plase the original Finder where it was a momnet ago (in the
current system file)

Step six REBOOT.


Simple and straightforward. Or partition your harddisk and use SCSI
utilities such as FWB Hard Disk ToolKit or SCSI Director to select boot
volume.

Retrospect is a commercial product. But it is often bundled with backup

Do not try to install sys 6.0.7 laserwriter drivers on a sys7 machine. Rather,
install sys7 drivers on the sys6 machines. You probably would want to get the
version 6.0.8 of MOS (free) to update the print drivers on all the sys 6 macs.
Sys 6.0.8. is system 6.0.7 with sys7 drivers. The installer will allow you to
custom install just the updated laser drivers w/o having to totally reinstall
the sys. (You can also use sys7 installer to do the above proceedure on all the
sys6 macs). If you try to run sys6 and sys7 laser drivers on the same network,
the laserwriter will have to reinitialize after each time that there is a
switch between sys6 and sys7 users, and you don't want that. Best of Luck.

DiskTools is no longer able to launch most applications. 
If you find yourself needing to boot off a floppy with 
System 7.1, you will need to do a minimal install first.
Then you can use that system (about 820k) on HD floppy.

MacTools CP DiskFix, disk formatting, and many other 
applications will otherwise give an error, usually "-108"
(not enough memory oddly enough) when launched.

Apple says that DiskTools is not meant to be used except to
run Disk First Aid and HD SC Setup. It is a crippled system.
