          A)     What is "FIDO?"

Heh, heh.... Well... Besides wasting "valuable bandwidth," I must follow
this post up to fulfill my obligations to Ian. When he gave me MZ, he said
I had to mention it in a flaming post... Well I'm not sure what I can
flame Scot on except that his mother really screwed up and forgot to
put a second "t" at the end of his first name (but then, what can you
expect from a fish?) - I hope that counts as a flame. :-)

Besides, I was feeling too popular on IRC the other night. I *HAVE* to
piss someone off (net-cop alert! Vdub swore!) so I'll have to come up
with something clever (I hope I don't sprain something!). Anyways,
because a lot of people actually complained that Ian was *WASTING* his
talents writing cross platform MOD players instead of something that 
could be of more general use to them, he became sullen and withdrawn.
(Yeah, right!) After a good turn of making an offering to the porcelin
god/likeness of Abaddon, divine inspiration reached him in which he
reached back into his childhood and decided that noone would ever see
the funky laser-beam and quadra-scope MOD player's light of day again.
(Bwahahahaaaa...) 

So the long and the short of the story is that YOU CAN'T HAVE IT,
at least until Ian grows up, or someone makes some stupendous apology
to him that moves him to the point that he thinks he really is important,
Scha!, and unveils ModZap for the world to once again see (or a handsome
prince comes and kisses him (Abe? - ooops! Sorry, that's Yoshi's job!)
and forever the spell is broken!)  Ooops! I just realized that I'm
pissing the WRONG people off! So sorry... ;-)

But ModZap is really cool, and its come a long way... There are some
good early versions out there that have already been released as well,
but the last few are all limited distribution... Now if you see him,
you could ASK NICELY for a copy in which case he might give you one
(pump him up with questions about Mega-Tracker, but don't mention
Tool-35!), or you could always get soniqTracker... :-)

Hi all - As I've said before, I'm going to be writing a feature length
article for the 5/93 issue of inCider about the Internet. I still have a lot
more to learn, and this might be common knowledge already, but...

Is there an Apple II oriented FTP site that has things like Zen and the Art
of the Internet or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Internet?

If not...

What I'd like to do in my article is direct people to one large site that
has a lot of Apple II software and information. I'd also love it if there'd
be room to store those above articles. I'd also like to make sure that the
FAQ is available on that site.

Does such a site exist, and if not, would it be possible to reserve about 1
meg of space to store these introductory documents on a FTP site?

Thanks...

(I guess I don;t want to overwhelm folks, and have them all try Archie and
Gopher the first time they access the net. I think it would be real helpful
to tell folks to go to one place to get many of their questions answered)

are plans for supporting it with the GS or not. Also has the bugs in the

Certainly Ethernet is superior to LocalTalk, but don't sell LocalTalk short.
We use Personal File Sharing under System 7 to test all of the IIGS software
we develop for network compatability.  Although LT & PFS are slow, you can
be assured that Foundation is multi-user network friendly... this is something
that we couldn't have coded or validated without the PFS.  Besides, it's still
faster than sneaker-net, and actually more compatable despite having the HFS
FST on the GS and the ProDOS FS on the Mac.

        GS/OS is about as portable as a bomb shelter.  It's not going

unlike other operating systems, like Windows, which isn't even an

     Did I pay to much for it?

     Is Franklin Ace still in business?

     Which slot does the 80 col/memory expansion board go in?
       (There are 8 slots 0 through 7)

     How much memory does in have? (Without the above board)

Hiya there y'all...

I have a question I'd like to ask...and it's pretty obvious from my

power connector (or what looks like one) that's labeled "FAN" on the
motherboard between the RGB and Smartport connectors.  Can anyone
elaborate more on this connector, and what it's for?  I was thinking
that I would like to get a small fan from Radio Shack and hook it up to
this "power connector" so that I could get some cooling for my GS. (I
just acquired an Transwarp and sure could use the cooling!)

Please don't refer me to any manuals or whatever, I don't have any, and
if I did, I'd have already checked 'em.  Reply to me on this group or

I'm a guru? Wow. Thanks. Anyway, I must admit, my knowledge of the IIGS is very
lacking. Two huge voids are QuickDraw II and the Window Manager. I've barely
used them.
 
As a cop-out and not a bad answer at all, I can tell you what Matt would be
sure to say: what you are doing is not part of the Apple interface and the
inconsistency is against it and might confuse users. If you are trying to drag
a modal dialog or window, you might consider a modeless dialog or a movable
modal dialog, via FakeModalDialog (name?).
 
I've often thought, though, that it would be nice if windows were dragable w/o
taking up so much room (esp. on the IIGS) for the title bar.
 
I checked the DragWindow docs (never had before) and your use seems right. It
doesn't mention flags it checks. You should try changing some of the bits and
experimenting. Just call SetWFrame in Nifty List while testing your app.

>Finder Extensions are INITS.  If you want them available all the time (not

Wrong.
 
Finder extensions can be a number of things. They just have to be in memory at
the same time as Finder. Finder extensions can be inits (permanent), NDA's,
CDA's, and Control Panels. An application _could_ even leave some code in
memory that acts as a Finder extension. Finder extensions even have their own
filetype (OMF load file, I think auxtype 1); this is intended for extensions in
the FinderExtras folder, but might also be for System.Setup; I forget.
 
The init filetype happens to be the most suitable for something that is only a
Finder extension because it has no interface/special format, whereas NDA's and
control panels do. Plus, NDA's and cdevs are typically used to package an
interface, whereas Finder extensions typically use the Finder's Extras menu and
the Finder itself for their interface.
 
eg: EgoEd and ControlPanel are both extensions. EgoEd will open textual files
double clicked in Finder and ControlPanel will open control panels. I'm not
sure if the Sound control panel plays double clicked sounds; if it doesn't, it
would be very easy to write something that "redirects" double clicks on sound
files to it.

	This chip is nothing more than the 14mhz 65c816 that some of
us have been using since July.  The E stands for experimental.
