Surely, there is someone out there who doesn't want their copy of the
book in question:

	Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools
	Aho, Sethi and Ullman
	Addison-Wesley 1986

I mean, this is the kind of thing that people often buy because they're
doing the course, and then it sits on their shelf for years afterwards,
unopened, unwanted, gathering dust.

So turn your unwanted book into _cash_!!  Send me some mail!

I assume you want PD to save money.  Apparently the best package, from
following discussion in comp.sys.mac.apps a few months ago, especially in
terms of value for money, is the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) package
developed and sold by the Mormon (LDS) church.  It sells for $US35.  It is
available for MS-DOS as well.  I think your local branch would be able to
help.

Has anyone out there had any experience using Liaison with a Maestro Super
Executive modem (v.32, v.42bis)?

So far, I've succeeded in getting a pair of them talking at straight 9600bps,
no error correction or compression, but have failed dismally at getting them
to work with v.42 or MNP. I'm so desperate, I'm even considering calling
Netcomm tech support (shudder).

Any advice appreciated. BTW, I'm trying to set them up to do hardware
handshaking, but they won't work with XON/XOFF either.

Mark,

Though not public domain there is a wonderful, cheap geneology package
called Personal Ancestral File avialable from the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints (otherwise known as the "mormons"). It
cost me less than $50 including a great manual. You can swap info
between people including IBM users and all sorts of neat stuff.

When I bought it you could do it via the phone on (02) 872-4111 and
ask for the Australian Distribution Centre.

Hope this helps

Tony Williams

P.S. I have no relationship with the church whatsoever, except for
the purchase of the software. I must also add that I have never had
one piece of junk mail, one phone call, or one visit due to purchasing
and registering the software.

Unfortunately there are none. There are now two commercial programs: Bridge

What's the best way to write a book in electronic format? I need text,

explanation. Hypercard does seem to be the obvious choice but I wondered if
there is another application designed for this sort of thing. However
references to Hypercard stacks I could use as a stating point would be

It's not the fastest operation around. But then Word 5 isn't very fast
either. Apple File Exchange with the Maclink Plus translators is much
faster at this particular task.

We have a problem with printing some files on our Apple Laserwriter IIg.  
So far we have has this problem from Chemdraw files embedded in Word 4 documents
and with Cricket Draw inside Word 4.  When we talked to our local Apple Dealer
they said that Apple Technical Support had said our problem was caused by the
fact that the parts of our files causing problems were PICT files at 72 dpi
and we were trying to print them at 300dpi.  

Does anybody have a fix for the printer driver or whatever is causing the
problem?

Incidentally, all these files print perfectly on all our earlier Apple
Laserwriters such as Laserwriter IInt and IIntx.

Thanks Jeremy, I should have included a rec for Apollo in my comments.

I was running into the same problem in Word, though I didn't realize it was a 
conflict with On Cue.  I switched to MultiMaster (part of Now Utilities)

As I posted some weeks back, there are significant
differences between US and Aust law on the subject of
fonts, whereas conversions from bitmap to truetype
may not be legal over there. Provided the source
is free any conversions will be ok, here.

Therefore with the kind help of Gavin Longmuir
at the SOROKIN.ANU.EDU.AU site a range of truetypes
converted from their windows counterparts ( all having
bitmapped versions available on the net ) have been
uploaded to the PUB/TRUETYPES directory.

Some 40 fonts in all, I'll add to these as I get the
time. These should expand Australian mac users font
librarys quite a bit.
I have obtained legal advise on the subject so 
downloading these files is quite alright.

Please contact me or the Sorokin site for further info

I'm in the middle of doing a MacWriteII conversion from within Word5
and it's taking FOREVER and doing LOTS of disk activity.

What the hell's happening?!

I'm using a IIci

Thanks Adrian.

I am posting this request for a colleague who does not have access to
News or Email.
----------------
Does anyone know of a Cross-assembler (or compiler) for the Motorola
68HC705C8 microcontroller chip which runs on a Macintosh? [ Apparently
PC-based ones do exist.-DMH] 

A related queston: Is there a Macintosh-based driver program for the
TECI (The Engineers Cooperative Inc., Vermont USA) programmer, type
MCPM-3, which normally is connected by  RS-232 line to an IBM-PC?

Thanks for any help!
David.

Apple says this problem is not memory related (it has been tested with more
than 8mb) and we were using the 7.1.1 Laserwriter driver.
