OK, first let us not discuss if it's a Trojan Horse or a Virus (if it's
anything of it). That's not really interesting.

I got a program from ftp.funet.fi called "afterdarkupd20v.cpt". It's
supposed to update different After Dark 2.0 versions (I had 2.0S, I
beleive).

I ran the program and it updated AfterDark and the modules. However,
AfterDark didn't work afterwards, so I thought I had to restart the
machine. I then got an alert from SAM INIT that AfterDark was
infected.

When I later scanned the disk with SAM Virus Clinic, VirusDetective
and Disinfectant 2.6 neither of them found any virus, but SAM INIT
complained on a new restart.

I got rid of AfterDark and the modules and installed 2.0S from the
original, and SAM is now quiet. Is this a virus or is SAM wrong and
the update just went wrong? Has anyone else had any experience with
this and say if anything else may have been damaged?

     I recently installed the new Disinfectant 2.7.1 init on my system (6.0.4).
Now, the machine bombs at startup. It installs all but my last INIT before it
crashes. I assumed it was a INIT conflict, and started trying all sorts of
combinations without discovering much. As a last resort, I tried copying my
system folder verbatim to a floppy and booting from that. Surprisingly, it
booted without a problem. My question then, is what would make this thing act up
when I boot from the hard drive, but not when I boot from the floppy? Any
guesses?

The games you mentioned rely on the alternate screen buffer and the Finder's
rather kludgy mechanism for allocating it.  My impression is that System 7 all
but did away with the alternate screen buffer.  When INIT's were introduced,
the System allowed them to load into the alternate screen buffer's memory. 
This made it very difficult to run any of the above games unless you had an
additional INIT that could load first and lock off the screen buffer.  System 7
I believe loads stuff into the buffer even *before* loading INITs.  So, the
current solution seems to be to rename that special INIT to MacsBug.  MacsBug
is the one INIT by name that the System will give immediate priority to.

So, in answer to your question, a Classic running 6.07 with an INIT that
reserves the alternate screen buffer (or no INITs at all) *may* allow you to
run these games.  Then again, I see Mac Plus's can be picked up for 4-5 hundred
dollars these days.  Want to start a museum?

Otherwise, bemoan the past - there are new games coming out these days. :)

There's been a lot of discussion on the net about icons disappearing, replaced 
by the generic.  Most of the answers seemed to agree that a bundle bit had to 
be reset, in ResEdit, but there seemed to be some disagreement.  I've got a
file on a floppy which shows its icon properly on one Mac, but not on another. 
What is the cause of this, and how can I get the icon to show on both of the
Macs?  If this is a FAQ, email is fine. 

A related question:  The icon for Suitcase 2.0 is solid black on both Macs.  
When the icon appears at boot time, it's colored, and the color appears on the 
Apple menu.  How can this be fixed in the Finder?

If you're using System 7, you might try turning on the "Always snap to
grid" option in the views control panel.  This might help prevent the
icons from moving that little bit from a "sloppy" double-click. 

("Sloppy" may not be the best choice of words...  You know what I mean!)

Is anyone out there running Novell 3.x on both Mac (ethernet) and PC ethernet
systems?  We've been given a grant to upgrade our macs from SEs to IIsi's and
don't have enough to get a quadra server.

We're considering running novell from our 486/33 server that will only run 10
other 486/33s.  

QUESTIONS
---------
1. Is it cost-effective to forget the separate quadra server and use the 486/33
to serve both 10 486/33 PCs and 10 IIsi's?

2. Will installation of this require a masters in computer science from MIT. 
Sorry, but we're just "users" here at MSU.

3. What about the performace compared to a Quadra running Appleshare 3.0 on
Appletalk?

Thanks for any info!

Yes, I had the same problem (or something like it) installing on a IIcx 
under System 7.0/tuneup 1.1. It ejected the install disk and asked for it 
back but then refused to recognize it as the right disk. By the way, I got 
my update disk directly from HP in the mail. Then I tried booting a system 
6.07 floppy instead of my System 7 hard disk. With that setup, the install 
(to the hard disk) worked without a hitch.

Background printing now works for me. I'm using the AppleTalk version of 
the driver. You might want to check to make sure that if you are using 
some kind of extension manager that it has not been inadvertently set to 
disable it. Also you could try the usual game of turning off all other 
extensions to see if there is a conflict. You do have background printing 
turned on in the chooser, don't you? However, I would not expect that 
having it turned off would give you a line though the HP startup icon?? 
Good luck on getting it to work.

you can install over a network.
on a server disk (appleshare or any sys7 mac with filesharing turned on)
copy each of the floppies to a folder with the same name as the floppy.
from the mac on which you wish to install, mount the disk with the
install floppy images copied, double-click on the installer or script...
et voila.

if it gets confused about which installer/script (which in rare situations
can occur...multiple scripts in same folder, e.g.) shift click on 
desired installer and script, then double-click one of 'em.

this works with the new installer...the one that comes with system 7.
that installer will work with old scripts, too.  e.g., to install sys6.0.7
over the net, copy all its disks, as abovve, and then replace the installer
with the new one.

good luck.

How do you run the Installer without using any floppies?  I want to install ARA
on my Mac II, but it only has a double-sided drive and the ARA disk is a high
density. I've copied the files and stuff to one of my Mac II hard disks (not
the startup volume), but can't operate the Installer. It keeps asking me to
insert the ARA installation disk.

I'm running Sys 7 with Tune up 1.0, and all of the ARA files are in a folder
with the same name as the floppy disk at the root level of one of my hard
disks.

I thought it was possible to run the Installer from the desktop, or the root
directory of a hard drive. Someone tell me that this is possible and what I'm
doing wrong.

I had to do this about 9 months ago, so this may or may not work, depending on
how well my memory serves.  Illustrator files don't use the showpage command,
which actually prints out the virtual page that PostScript uses.  Add the 
command showpage to the very end of the file, and try it then.  If that doesn't 
work, there might be several identical lines in a row at the end of the file.  
(I don't remember the exact line)  These are block ending statements in 
PostScript.  Put the showpage line before these, then try sending it to the
printer.

I hope that's right.  Let me know how you do!

  I've been using DiskLight with DiskDoubler (and now AutoDoubler) for
  over a year with no problems.  Of course, Mark and I have different
  hardware (I've got a IIsi with 17M of RAM running 7.0.1 tuneup 1.1)
