Subject:      Abaton InterFax for sale

I have an Abaton InterFax 24/96 NX fax-modem for sale. It is 2400 bps
data with 9600 bps send and receive class II fax. It has a black
casing, and is completely compatible with the NeXT. It includes the
special NeXT-type cable (for hardware flow control), as well as a
standard modem cable. I have used it for nine months without a hitch,
to log into BBS's, exchange data with Macs and PC's, log into a VAX
university account, and to carry a UUCP-based Mail connection. I've
also used the fax on occasion. Now I'm looking to begin carrying a
USENET news feed, and 2400 bps isn't quite enough for that task, so
I'm upgrading to a V.32 modem. I paid $489 for the InterFax, and as
far as I know the price is still at about that level. I'm hoping to
get $300 for mine to help defray the cost of a new high-speed modem.
If you're interested, please send me your offer.

Thanks,
Jim

Any site that automatically honors newgroup control messages for
alt deserves whatever misfortunes befall it.  This sort of
nonsense has been going for YEARS.  Yes, NewsGrazer is incredibly
poor in the robustness department.  But you're killing the
messenger when you should be dealing with the source.  Wake up.

I am using NewsGrazer since December last year. But now I have a
problem with this program. NewsGrazer dies just after displaying the
message "locating active newsgroups" with the message "bus error". Is
the anybody who has an idea what this messages could mean? The other
TCP/IP services are working without any problem.

There is a tutorial on Interface Builder on the NeXT archives, for example
 sonata.cc.purdue.edu. If you don't have access to FTP, I'll be happy to
mail it to you. It is in PostScript format and rather large, I'm afraid.

Subject:      Re: NewsGrazer (PROBLEM FIX KNOWN)

With the help of a super SysAdmin Jim Murray at our corporate
headquarters, I've been able to identify the problem

that blows up NewsGrazer.

Some idiot created a group with an "&" in its name.

alt.music.pop.will.eat.itself.X.Y.&.Z.electrix.sunshine.mix

If you have your news administrator remove this group,
the problem will go away.


I don't know how to kill it sufficiently to keep it from

coming back, however.  And as soon as people find out that
an "&" in a newsgroup name kills NewsGrazer, I'll bet that other
groups will be malicously created.   The same thing happened a
while back with ":" in names that caused "rn" to die.

Maybe NeXT or somebody will be gracious enough to patch
NewsGrazer.

Hi,

I want to learn how to use the Interface builder to create NeXT frontends for

ships a book called the Development Tools which has a section on the Interface

You cannot instantiate objects with the Instantiate function if the object
inherits from View. Instead, drag a CustomView into the window, select
Attributes in the inspector window, and change its class to Turing.

Hope this helps,

You should rather try Cub'X, (yes that's it, not Co-Xist), because it's *much*  
faster...(Even the pd X11r5 is faster than Co-Xist.) Cub'X  *is* more expensive  
though...

How about Von Ranke? I have the collection at home edited by K. Molkte (I
think) of VR's intro's and a selection from his History_of_the_Popes.
VR started a Universal_History, late in his life.

What I take away from VR's intro's is that we can't expect to be writing
history, as it were, without *motivation* - we write on one topic or
another nonrandomly. But we have do do our best to present it as it
actually happened ...  But efforts to make VR into a positivist (and
so dismiss his views) are charicaturing.

Thomas Zielke said I should put this on the list so here goes. I have four
high school students who are doing research on the Reformation.
They do not have easy access to a college library but can get interlibrary
loans through the public library. They are centering their project on
Martin Luther, John Calvin and Hulrich Zwingli. The end product will be
a student generated play (limited to ten minutes) in which these three
religious leaders will meet and discuss what they have in common and on
what they disagree.

Would appreciate any/all of the following help:
1) Books or periodical article listings they could read that would give
   insight into the characters of these three men. They have had trouble
   finding info about Zwingli especially.
2) Your personal observations about these three men and their impact
   on the religious and political history of Europe.
3) They would appreciate an email interview with any of you who are experts
   on this time period.

Unfortunately these students do not have access to a computer/modem/phone.
So I volunteered to send this message. You may reply to me directly or
on the list.I will print the replies and share them with the students.
Thanks for your help.
