Subject: system 7 on an AppleShare plus?

Keywords: system 7, INIT, AppleShare

Help,
I am trying to get system 7.0.1 running on a group of floppy drive 800K Mac Plus
ses with 4MB of RAM.
I have had succes with "InitShare" under system 6 to have the boot floppies load
 all the INITs, cdevs, fonts, sounds etc from the server at startup. I seem to r
emember coming accross a similar INIT months ago that only worked with system 7
allowing you to put aliases in the boot system  of INITs (and hopefully the find
er) that pointed to files on the server.
I also had the idea that the bulk of system 7 could be put into a large INIT on
the server which could be loaded at startup.
Can someone please help me with any of the above?

Please don't reply to this account.
email to thomas@phys.uts.edu.au

I'll post any solutions.

Summary: Should you turn off your mac or leave it going ?

   I have a Mac IIsi and 13" monitor, during the day I use the machine and shut down whenever I finish using it.  This can mean "powering up" 4 - 5 times in a  day. My question is: would it be better to leave the machine on 24 hrs a day (putting the screen to sleep); or power on jest once (in the morning) and leave it going all day, even though sometimes it may not be in use for 3 or more hrs; or does it matter at all how many times I turn it on and shut down ?

   I am mainly concerned that starting it up 4 - 5 times a day may lead to premature damage of the power supply.

   thanks, charlie.

Hi
I am trying to get ncsa v2.4 to work with MacTCP (as it is
meant to!).
I have verified that MacTCP is working by using other programs
however, when I start up the NCSA exec, it gives me an error 
message of CANNOT ACCESS RESOLVER.

Any clues?

Also, has anyone got operating a favourite newsreader for Mac
(using MacTCP) that does not require NNTP or POP ? Perhaps a reader
that simply logs in and acts as a front end?
thanks in advance

Hi

I have a question about hard drive partitioning.  What I want to do is devide
the hard drive into 2 to 3 volumes and install different system softwares.
Can I do this using Apple HD SC setup ? Or do I need another software ?

I read the Apple User's Guide, and they only mentioned HOW TO PARTITIONING but
don't mention HOW TO INSTALL DEVICE DRIVERS TO EACH VOLUME.  Using Norton's
partitioning DA, I could not make bootable partitions.

Any kind of informations are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Steer away from a driver called JetLink as I tried this and all I could get
from it was garbage and repeated calls to the dealer could not help, so I sent

You should be able to get MacPrint from a local dealer.

Your argument is a fine one, just not terrible valid for the economics
of running an Expo. Before I get into the economics let me just say
that the Expo's are actually run by a totally different part of our
company and overseas not even by the same company.

The economics of an Expo, like Sydney, is that money is made by
mostly by charging companies for the exhibition space, and only a
little by charging for entry. In 1990, the last show for which I
personally have figures, about half the people entered using a free
pass, and free passes were handed out by the thousands by exhibitors
and sent by mail to a lot of those who had previously attended a show.

Given the size of the Mac market, and therefore the marketing dollar
of the distributors, they can not really be convinced to attend two
shows (as well as the more important buying of advertising in
Australian Macworld).

A show in Melbourne was in fact planned in 1990 but not enough
exhibitors could be rounded up, Apple had cutbacks and pulled out (I
believe) and the show was cancelled.

An Expo is a bit like Television, the punter who rocks up is not
really important, it's just a way of keeping score <G>.

I got several replies about folder level protection of Macintosh
hard disks.

Several people recommended MacPassword, a shareware protection
program. This requires a password on startup to enable selected
folders. It also allows a guest mode so people can get on
without access to the protected folders. The demo version in
the archives should work but is relativelly limited until it
is registered tho the cost is reasonable (US$40).

Someone else suggested DiskLock and said "it has the ability to
lock and/or encrypt files and folders. It can also lock the whole
Mac and its hard disk." Other than this I don't know anything
about it.

A commercial program called FolderBolt seems to be the best
performer. You can create different kinds of folders, drop
folders, read only ones and fully password protected ones
although it only trully shines under System 7 where applications
can be protected as well. Although this sells for a reasonable
price in the US (~US$100), I have heard that it is prohibativelly
expensive over here.

How about holding a Macworld expo in Melbourne? I noticed in an earlier post
that the editors of Macworld read this group.

My argument is: some people can't find the time to travel to Sydney.
Some of the rest of us would like access to the new information and bargains
purportedly offered at the Sydney show without having to travel to Sydney.
Some of us are sick of the fairly meagre offerings at the PC Show, which tend
to consist entirely of old Apple videos, about a million Apple pamplets,

I necessarily expect any better from our own expo, but at least if the variety

I have PowerPrint and have used it with the Star XB24-10 (Colour Epson-

I have not had the opportunity to test the HP drivers but if they are
anything like the Epson driver then they are VERY good.

PowerPrint is lots faster than the Grappler was, has no observable
problems and adds very nice scaling and paper-size features!

Does anyone have such a driver. The need (want)
for speed and cost of living may cause me to offload the Mac SE and
aquire a 486/33. (A cost of $1000, compared to $2300 for an SI without
monitor etc) 

I have a StyleWriter and am extreamly happy with it and would like to
continue using it. To that end I though I would try and track down a
driver for it for Win 3.1.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Can someone out there in Netland please help me.

I am currently using a Powerbook 100 with an internal fax / modem card and Microphone 1.5 to connect to my account at university.  However, despite reading the manual that comes with this package, I cannot transfer files from the Unix box at university to the Macintosh Powerbook.

Any suggestions / critiques / flames (*not really*) appreciated.

Also, using my powerbook, can I use Mac TCP to connect to the network, or do i have to actually connect to my account at university?

Thanks in advance
