Yes, there is.  It's called FTP+ or something.  It's in the 2.0-release
somewhere... I think in the bin.


It has an easy interace (I think it motto is something like "FTP for the

Only problem:  the teext in the interface is *HUGE* and the window takes

I might be able to help here...

Concerning this rumor of NeXT adopting IPT's "uShare" software, and dropping  
their own code:

I KNOW for a fact that this is the desire of at least one of IPT's employees.
I also KNOW for a fact that this one IPT employee hopes to get NeXT to bundle
both the client and server portions of "uShare" with NeXTSTEP, but only have  
the client portion be usable out of the box.  A phone call to IPT, with your  
VISA card in hand, would get you a key to enable the server portion.

I personally think it's a good idea.

I don't know anything about what NeXT thinks about the idea.

When using followup to respond to a post, NewsGrazer almost always appen 
ds some junk to the end of my post.

This never happened to me before, but now I can't seem to get this problem to go away.  Started happening around the time I upgraded to 3.0 final (I think it was ok in PR2).

I've sent mail to newsgrazer@next.com, but haven't gotten any sort of a response (should I be expecting one??).  This is really  
annoying cause I won't use anything but NG to read news, and so feel cut off as I can't respond to articles without them looking like hell and me like an idiot.

Anyone else have similar troubles?  Any ideas?  I did replace my entry for inews with a dummy shell script, and verified that NG was corrupting the article, not something outside of it.

Framemaker 3.0.

For overheads the boss prefers light text on a dark background.

Easy.  Go to master page.  Draw a large box, fill it with dark grey.

Now import or paste any graphical item into the document, and it's frame
is filled with white, overriding the background color.  I've tried this
with Adobe Illustrator, Diagram, Mathematica,  plain tiffs. No joy.

Is there anyway to tell FrameMaker to not paint the new frame with opaque
white when importing a graphic?

this is an (unsolicited) plug for Garth Snyder's DarkForest app,
available on the new NeXT Edu cd-rom.  if you haven't already bought
the cd, this app alone is worth the price.

Dark Forest is far and away the best tool i've seen for answering the
perrenial question of "where did my disk space go"?  it walks all the
files under a given directory, computing their sizes and then allowing
you to browse through them and find the pigs.  you can then delete,
compress, inspect, or 'make clean' them with a button-click.  sort of
like doing 'du' in a shell window over and over again, but about 1000
times more efficient.

It is a good app for some sites, but it has problems with sites that use  
softlinks (or other OS equivalents) and sites that don't request passwords for  
some login names like 'anonymous' (the logout button remains ghosted the whole  
time).

But if the site(s) with which you communicate don't do any of the above, it  
will probably work well for you.

Also, using GatorFTP+, is there a way to start many file transfers with many  
sites simultaneously (other than running multiple copies of GatorFTP+)?

It is best to use senmail.subsidiary.cf as your configuration file in your  
kind of situation.  Define an alias for your mail provider's hostname,  
called mailhost, and it will be used to handle all locally unresolvable  
mail addresses.  A similar situation can be solved using  
sensdmail.mailhost.cf if you need to: near the end of the file is a  
comment about 'pass all other explicit domain names up the ladder': do  
what it says.

I changed the D macro at the start of the file to: Dj$w ; this prevents  
duplicating domain names in your address.

I haven't seen the problem that you have had with receiving mail; you  
could probably define a hostname alias with that name for your local  
machine.

Subject: Xanthus International ships SplitBuilder/Receiver 2.0
Organization: Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Kista
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 15:14:16 GMT

      
            Xanthus International Announces 

                SplitBuilder/Receiver 2.0 

      - for sending large files with NeXTmail

(Stockholm, November 20, 1992) Xanthus International AB today announced  
that it is shipping SplitBuilder/Receiver 2.0, a utility program for the  
NeXT computer that makes it possible for users to send files of any size  
with NeXTmail by dividing them into smaller files.

A problem with NeXTmail is that sometimes you want to send attachments  
that are so big that some gateways on the net will refuse to deliver your  
letter because of its size.

SplitBuilder/Receiver solves this problem by allowing the sender to divide  
big files into smaller pieces, called "splits". By clicking a button, all  
the split files are sent as NeXTmail attachments. The receiver can then  
easily assemble the splits by drag-and-drop to restore the original file.  
No knowledge about UNIX is needed to be able to assemble the original file  
from the split files.

"We save a lot of time and money by using SplitBuilder/Receiver  
ourselves", says Jesper Lundh, marketing manager at Xanthus. "We can  
quickly deliver new version upgrades, as well as beta- and demo copies of  
our products by just clicking two buttons. Both the version 1.1 upgrade of  
CraftMan and the beta copies of our newly announced spreadsheet Questor  
are distributed using the SplitBuilder/Receiver."

SplitBuilder/Receiver consists of three different applications:

- SplitBuilder divides big files into smaller pieces ("splits") that can  
be sent by NeXTmail.

- SplitMailer automatically creates one letter for each split file,  
inserts the split file and sends the letters.

- SplitReceiver puts all the splits together on the receivers machine. The  
SplitReceiver is not copy protected and can automatically be sent in the  
first letter by the SplitMailer.

Users of SplitBuilder/Receiver 1.0 will automatically get a free upgrade  
to version 2.0.

For more information about SplitBuilder/Receiver please contact  
splitbuilder@xanthus.se

Xanthus International, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, is a privately  
owned software development company that specializes in the NeXTSTEP  
platform. SplitBuilder/Receiver is the third in a series of  
general-purpose productivity tools for NeXTSTEP. In May 1992 Xanthus  
started to ship its first product CraftMan, the multimedia programming  
tool for the NeXT computer. In September 1992 Xanthus released LaserMan,  
an application for controlling Laser Disc Players from a NeXT computer.  
Xanthus International was founded in 1990.

Okay,

	Sorry about the trouble people with 3.0 and/or color machines
are having.  I've only tested this app on my 2.1 mono station so the
mail I've received has been helpful.  (I fully intended to hack with
it a little on 3.0 but I'm still waiting on my CD, ahem.)

	The problems so far:

	term/nextfe.trm

		Produces black plots on black backgrounds (lit by a
	black light on a black panel...) on color machines.  This is
	improved (fixed?) by changing nextfe_color to TRUE.



	Inspector.m

		validSend and validReturn are one-element arrays and
	should have two elements each so they can be NULL terminated.
	
	    const char *validSend[] = {NXAsciiPboardType, NULL};
	    const char *validReturn[] = {NXAsciiPboardType, NULL};

		...

	    [NXApp registerServicesMenuSendTypes: validSend
                          andReturnTypes: validReturn];



	defaults.h

		It's missing under 3.0.



	I'll make the first two fixes, recompile, and maybe the binary
will work under 3.0.


It works on my machine, I promise :-)

I don't know if there's better scanner software for the NeXT than
HSD's PowerScan, but I do know that it is in no way comparable to
the old Scan-X software, which, I agree, was junk.  This time, they
did _lots_ of testing and fixing and improving before the release.

PowerScan is fairly well designed and works well.  One warning:
it's not fancy in terms of either functionality or interface, but
it seems to be a good, usable piece of software that does somewhat
more than you'd minimally expect (rather than somewhat less) and
does it fairly reliably.  

I'm _very_ glad we're using it instead of Scan-X.  PowerScan is
good.

This bug is noted in the 3.0 release notes, *however*, I hide on
autolaunch and mail notification works fine most of the time.
Occasionally, I do not get notified *but* this also happened
with mail-2.1 so it is not a unique 3.0-release problem. It may
well be true that the bug does not happend if you do not hide on

In 3.0 (perhaps in 2.1 and 2.2, but I don't recall seeing it), what  
determines whether you see the two houses (for someone else's homedir)  
or a folder (regular subdirectory) is the setting of "Large File  
System" in your Preferences (accessible via Preferences.app).  Why not  
see the two houses regardless of this setting?  I am probably not  
understanding some GUI idea but I don't know what.

While trying to answer this question myself, I went into the 3.0 help  
for Preferences and typed "large file system" and then hit return.   
What a big mistake.  It's been 5 minutes since I hit return and the  
cursor is still spinning.  Perhaps the indexer will work in 3.1?

Our Mac emulator is called "Executor" (ig-zeck'-you-tor).  An executor is
one who supervises the reallocation of resources that formerly belonged

"ex'-a-cute-or", an obsolete form of executioner; I guess our ".appl" icon
may be reinforcing that misconception. Oh, but where would we be without
playful ambiguity?

The best place to get the demo version of Executor is
unmvax.cs.unm.edu:pub/ardi/DEMO/Executor-DEMO4.tar

The latest version of the demo is always guaranteed to be there.  You
can also get it from cs.orst.edu and sonata.cc.purdue.edu, but
unmvax.cs.unm.edu is where new versions appear first.

If you're using NeXTSTEP 3.0, make sure that you get version "4" or
greater of the demo.

For those of you with Executor on backorder, I sincerely apologize for
the delay.  We only recently started advertising Executor in NeXTWorld and
also only recently began selling it through dealers (ask you local dealer).
We sold so many copies in such a short time that we ran out of binders.
We placed an order for a new run of binders many weeks ago and they're due
in sometime this week.  We thank you for your patronage if you got
your order in early and your patience (and your patronage) if you're waiting.
