Subject: Applications will not launch properly
Date: 5 Jan 93 02:11:45 -0600
Organization: University of Northern Iowa

I have a friend that is having problems with his MAC.  It seems that any Word,
Excel, Hypercard, etc. documents that are in a higher folder level than the
respective application fails to launch the application.  Giving an error like
"Unable to find the application that created the the document"  Documents at
lower folder levels launch the application.  He also has noticed that all of
the documents just have "Document" listed as the file type and not "Microsoft
Word document" or "Microsoft Excel".  He has tried everything short of
re-formatting the hard disk and re-installing all of the applications.  He has
tried rebuilding the desktop, Norton Utilities Disk Doctor, re-installing the
system software and optimizing the disk.

Any suggestions?

Now that system 7.1 is out, what's is coming from apple this year and
years to come? System 7.2, System 8.0? What these systems should be?
At least, a Font Picker will make its debut in one of these? Something 
else (better help support a la Windows, etc...) What do you think?

Organization: Indiana University

Dear netters,

        I was trying to create partitions using Apple HD SC setup in vain.
I can create partition for Aux or other misc type but it won't show on
the desktop. I would prefer not to use 3rd party formatting software. Is
it possible to create partitions using Apple HD SC Setup?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I'm most probably going to buy a Mac-System, but I've got a whole lot of questinos:

First: Hardware

1. I'm intrested in the new DUO-System. Has anybody informations about and experiences 
   with this Hardware?
2. Is the harddisk manufractured by Quantum or better, or is it a low price one?
3. In a prospectus there are many unclear datas. Why do the displayable resolutions 
   differ with the type of the monitor? (640*400 with a 13" MAC-Monitor, more with a   
   16" one)
4. A Mac DUO system can display 256 colors or grayscales, or, with enhanced VRAM, more 
   than 32000 colors. May one choose out of 16.7 mio. colors in each configuration? Is 
   VRAM enhancement really only an addition of Ram?
5. Is it possible to use a NEC 4FG with the DUO-System's docking station? Are there
   any restrictions of the resolution (question 2)?
6. The displayment of graphics slows down the CPU. The RAM is splitted into fast- and 
   video-Ram, isn't it?
7. Is there a MMU on board of a DUO-System? Can one put it in?
8. How long can you work with the battery and how long does it take to repower?
Second: Software

1. How much is a good C++ Compiler with Sourcelevel-debugger?
2. How much is a D-Base like data-processing language?
3. I know it sounds kiddy, but are there good (complex) strategie and simulation games 
   available? (especially: Civilization)
4. Is there a good public-domain scene?

Third: Future 

1. I wasted time & money with the Amiga system. I know the Mac is an established 
   business-computer, but I've heard rumors that Macintosh has financial problems. Is 
   this true? If yes, are they serious? Do you think the system is also endagered by 
   the masses of MS-Dos computers?
2. The MAC-system is best in desktop publishing. But are there many systems in smaller 
   buisness (doctors, lawyers, retail dealers and so on)? This is the target group 
   which I want to develop comercial software for.

I hope, someone has time to answer my questions. If so, thanks in advance.

yours,

	Andreas Hogrefe

P.S.: please excuse my horrible English...

I'd like to have my mac start up silently when my kid is sleeping. I

caps lock key when starting up, the startup sound won't play. 

That's true, but he's talking about an _additional__ startup sound,
not the original mac beep.  That pesky noise is still there....

I've got an SE/30. I know about sticking a mini-phone jack in the

   I believe if you read the docs in the Superclock program (or do they come
with it when you get the ftp package?), you'll see that the nickel-cadnium
(sp.) batteries of the PB140 and above do not follow the same drainage curve
that the PB100 batteries do.  As a result, when your battery is dead,
Superclock shows it to be only half dead.  I'm hoping there's a fix for this in
version 4.0.  I believe that the PB100 batteries follow a linear drainage curve
and the batteries for the PB140 and above follow a log curve....

Subject: spurious 'This is not a Macintosh disk'

I have been getting spurious alerts. The alert is the one you get when
you insert an unformatted disk, or a non-MAC disk into the machine. i.e.
    This is not a Macintosh disk:
    Do you want to initialize it?

It doesn't happen very often (a couple of times a week); sometimes I am
using the machine, sometimes it is just idling with a screensaver. There is
no disk in the machine, and I am not using any extension that supports
non-Mac diskettes (though I have use Dyna Dos Mounter on this machine at
other times).

The machine is a Quadra700 with 7.0.1+tuner.

Any ideas?

It's probably a Stuffit Deluxe/Stuffit Lite archive; they have the same
file type code as a Stuffit 1.5/Stuffit Classic archive, but use a
slightly different compression scheme or something. In any event, ftp a
copy of Stuffit Lite and replace Stuffit 1.5.1 with it (Lite will open
1.5.1/Classic archives)

I ran into this a while back; it is gatekeeper running into the new
internal resource compression scheme used by autodoubler on inits, 
etc. (The autodoubler cdev contains this internal compression, if I
recall correctly.) If you don't want to disable gatekeeper, then 
there is a way to remove the internal compression.
I received the following instructions from Salient; the instructions
were in response to a question about AD 2.0, I personally have no
idea as to whether the same technique will work on 1.0.7.

are considered monochrome Macs, their ROMs have QuickDraw routines for
displaying eight colors- red, green blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and
white.  The ScuzzyView software allows you to assign these eight colors to the
Finder and to applications that support them.

Regardless of the product touted by MacW, the ROMS still have those color
routines, even if they do not have Color QD.  So if one can access them, you
have color, albeit only eight of them, and hardly the most desirable.  Of
course, I do have a 100, and would like to see color...

Hope this helps...
