I am in the process of updating a stack I had made previously.  One
of the problems it had was that it would not print using the font
I wanted.  It prints via a report template and the font for the
fields are set to 'field font'.  I am using Pointless 2.0.1
(which I FINALLY received the upgrade today).  It did the same
thing with Pointless 1.0.  Has anyone else come across such a
problem??

The error in question: $0681  =  event queue damaged -- fatal system error

I used to get this occasionally, but much less often with later versions of
the system software, and even less with efficient system cooling.  Keep your
IIgs cool, at least, and make sure all connections are secure. If you're not
running with System Software 6.0 (or better), get it.

your best bet is to simply buy the package from Morgan Davis (various
mail-order houses carry it).. Modemworks (now up to 3.0) contains 
commands to do most (ifnot all) of what you want in your software.
(for instance, MW can dial out.. it recognizes the modem response codes
and can act on them - so it would know if the attempt to connect was
successful, the phone wans't answered, or if the line was busy)

Hope this helps

Given information on an archive format, it should be easy to create an
"archive" that contains uncompressed elements.  *.REP files are
usually small enough that lack of compression won't significantly
increase upload time, especially with V.42bis modems (which do their
own compression).

I am very very interested in this software! Anybody who know more about 
"The Manager" please explain!

I am now also testing the Switch It! demo, and find it to be very reliable.
Most applications run fine, and it works better than the MultiLaunch.

>They Told me that 'The Manager' is like the MultiFinder for Mac.

How? Does it multitask?

So the windows from 320 mode and 640 mode applications are displayed together?
Just like... leapFrog? Oops.

Looks more and more like leapFrog... oops.

Text applications? Does it mean ProDOS 8? If it is, then it is better than
Switch It! in that area.

Seems that now we have many switchers - we have:

- leapFrog: the original, a lot of bugs.
- multiMaster: works with more applications, but does not work with Finder.
- multiLaunch: this is good! But unfortunately Alan didn't completed it.
- the Manager: ...?
- Switch It!: Get it, it is good.

Organization: Boston University Computer Science Department


I'm wondering about what kinds of development utilities there are for
the GS.


Has the unix gcc ever been ported to the GS?


I'm intrested in forming a call for technology type of organization
for the GS.  IT would be sort of like saying that this and this is
needed to be done.  OSF sort of works like this.  Every member pays a
fee.  This fee goes into a fund.  Every so often, people submit papers
or proposals.  This proposal is reviewed by a board which decides
which project will get funded.  Being funded, the project now has
incentive to do some work.  Being a member entitles all the members to
profit from the work by recieving copies of all work done as part of
the group.  What happens, is that everyone benifits.

I think we all kind of have an idea of what type of work needs to be
done for the GS, but feel a little slugish to get to work on it.
Being presured to do it would be a great way to get the work done.


The organization would of course be non-profit.

I welcome discussion on the net over this Idea.

This was probably discussed in this group before, but I just figured
it out and it is so neat I wanted to make sure everyone who could use
this info had a second chance...

Most of us are familiar with GS System 6.0 and is ability to directly
mount diskettes with foriegn file systems directly on the GS desktop.
You just insert a Mac or DOS 3.3 (apple II) disk and the GS recognizes
it and mounts it pretty much like any other disk.

Until last night, when I wanted to move a file from a ProDOS disk to a
Mac, I had to run the Apple File Exchange utility that comes with the
Mac.  Last night I found some magic:

The IIe emulation card for the Macintosh LC comes with a Macintosh
system extension that allows Macs to directly mount ProDOS diskettes.
You just throw the ProDOS Filesystem extension into your system folder
on the Mac, and restart.  Then when you insert a ProDOS disk, the Mac
recognizes it, and mounts it right on the desktop.

The ProDOS Filesystem extension for Macintoshes is located on the IIe
card installer disk in the system folder.  You can FTP the whole disk
from apple (warning: its BIG - its a 1.4 MB disk) from ftp.apple.com in
/dts/aii/lc.iiecard.  Or just find a mac user group to get it from.

I am in search of the amiga .mod file format information.  I have checked 
many popular FTP sites and can't seem to locate it.  If anyone has it, OR
knows where I can get it, I would GREATLY appreciate it !

thanks in advance !
