Subject: Lisa & ANIX?
Organization: University of Hawaii at Manoa

	Recently while cleaning up a file of ftp site listings I came
across "ucr.ucrmath.edu" (something like that) and the note I had next
to it was "Lisa & ANIX".  But I haven't the foggiest idea what these
programs are.  I ftp'd over to the site and found the files for the two,
and gee, they're huge!
	I took a look through some of the ANIX documentation, and still
have little idea that it is.  So my first question: What is ANIX?
The file is a ~130k .SHK file, do I need a hard drive or a 3.5" to use
this? (whatever it is...)

	Second, there's Lisa, what's that?  (besides the predecessor
to the Mac, and my sister's name....)

Organization: The Palmtree BBS - 310/450-9394 - Santa Monica, CA
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1992 03:53:15 GMT

    Someone wanted to know if System 6.0 were faster or slower in accessing
disks.  He said that it appeared to take longer to boot into the Finder,
return from other programs to the Finder, and load other programs from the
Finder.  He also mentioned that he did not notice the QuickLoad file in his
System folder, but had heard that it had become an integral part of the
system, and, thus, transparent to the user (that is, not a seperate file as
it used to be).

    Is System 6.0 actually slower than System 5.0.4 in accessing disks, or
might there be something wrong with his system? Thanks for your help!

Depends on what you consider decent. I bought a second used GS recently, and
I ordered a 52 meg HD and a RamFAST for it Tuesday from TMS Peripherals (I
already have one of their 105 megers), and it arrived the next day, all the
way from Florida (I love TMS -- Great company!!!). Cost me $507.31. That 
one-day delivery was at no extra cost, although it was actually supposed to 
take two days. Guess Federal Express just doesn't know how to move slow.

It looks like I missed some posts that are asking the same question so I will
ask again.  Sorry for being redundant.


1)  It seems that 6.0 takes much longer to load than 5.0.4.  Is this true?
If so, why?

A couple of questions:

1.  Will the Apple Archiver work with a Tape Drive on a RamFast?  I have a
    RamFast.  Do I need the Apple SCSI Tape Driver and or the SCSI
    Manager?

2.  I have a 760M drive.  What are the tradeoffs regarding partitioning?
    Should I have a few 32M prodos partitions and a few large HFS ones?
    What programs will be affected by the limitations?  8-bit?

Thanx in advance...

Personally, I'm particularly fond of (nesting (words [in {sentences}])), the
"lonely? mail me." .sig, the namedropping, and the Matt-like quality of his
messages.  You'd think he'd use a killfile.  But who am I to blow against the

finding plenty of good bugs in the process.  In other news,

I ordered BeagleWorks from Beagle Bros the other day.  

They sent me a sticker!

I was so pleased, I wrote "Hey, where's the ASCII chart?" on the registration

alt.hackers lately?  Plenty of amazing hacks.

    Despite the efforts and suggestions of a dozen people on the net, I
still cannot get Xenocide to run on my system at the same time the RamFAST
is active.  This is my setup:

	Apple IIGS ROM 01
	4 megs on a Chinook RAM4000
	RamFAST Rev. C with v1.11 ROM's
	ZipGS 8/16
	Sonic Blaster
	ProGrappler
	Apple 3.5, no 5.25" drive
	Quantum 105-meg, Conner 120-meg or Seagate 30-meg hard drive

    I can boot right from the original floppy with the metallic blue label
and the game will hang right before it hits the title screen (with Micro
Revelations' logo).  It gets a chance to turn the text screen to a black
background and yellow text, but it dies after that.  Disabling the RamFAST
(by setting slot 7 to AppleTalk) lets the game run.  Nobody believes me.
I think I know how TC Wilson feels now.  ;-)

 I found one in Archiver or the Scsi tape driver.  Atleast it formats tapes now.







However I always get an error from Archiver or Advanced Disk Utilities, that 
an error occurred during initalization.  If I continue with archiver and Eject
the tape and reinstall it, and say no to format tape.  Archiver backs up to the
tape without errors and I can read files off of the tape without errors.  I sus

pect the driver is returning the wrong thing when format is finished.

Wilson Wares and Frontier Technologies announces

The Metal/FV Spring Fling!


You've heard about it, you've called the boards that are using it, and you've
probably even seen the "demo" disk!

And now's your chance to actually use it!

For a limited time (from April 15th, 1992 to June 15, 1992), Wilson Wares and
Frontier Technologies is offering special rates on the Metal/FV program.

Fling number 1: Complete Metal/FV program and documentation files for $90.00
                (this is a $5.00 savings).

Fling number 2: "Half" Metal/FV program and limited documentation (will not
                 work with the modem, but everything else works) for $45.00
                 You can then upgrade after the Spring Fling to the real thing
                 for $45.00 (this is a $5.00 savings, and a really cheap way
                 of checking the thing out).

Fling number 3: "Upgrading" from Acos/GBBS to Metal/FV for $80.00 (savings of
                 $15.00). Requires you shipping the *original* Acos/GBBS disk
                 (no photocopies, duplicates, or reproductions of any kind).

Fling number 4: "Switchover" from Proline (prior to 2.0) to Metal/FV for only
                 $70.00 (savings of $25.00).

Metal/FV is currently the most powerful BBS language a program out for the
Apple // series of computers. Where others only gives you limited commands or
force you to work within the limits of AppleSoft (and thus limiting the size of
your programs), Metal/FV throws those limits right out the window! From the
first, Metal and FV was designed to push the envelope of the Apple //, cramming
as much as possible into the 128k Apple // setup!

As always, upgrading Metal/FV to newer versions costs you nothing but the
standard phone call rates - simply call the TCQ BBS and download the new files
and that's all!

Networking? You bet - FutureNet is a "state of the art" networking software
that allows Email, Message Bases, Files, and Updates to be sent over the phone
lines, automatically - you don't have to even be home to do it!

Growth? Unlimited! Metal/FV is a package that is constantly being worked on,
added to, and improved on a daily basis.

Metal/FV is the one package that is totally customizable - everything can be
changed to your personal tastes. Unlike other BBS systems, we supply YOU with
the programs that run the BBS, so you can go directly in with a standard text
editor and change the way the system runs and looks, giving your BBS your own
"personal" appearance!

For more information on the complete Metal/FV package, call:

	Well, 8 bit programs and any data files you expect to use from
8 bit programs need to be on ProDOS partitions..

	ProDOS is very noticably faster when dealing with large numbers of
files at once (copying, packing, etc).. But running 16 bit programs from HFS
partitions and putting data files on HFS partitions is very usable. I have 
lots of GS specific stuff on my HFS partition. (as well as for some reason 
saving the mac junk that was originally on the drive... which will most likely
be deleted when I find I need more space)

	Unless you doing it to better organize your disk space, there is
no physical reason you need to make "a few large HFS" partitions.  HFS 
partitions can be up to 4 gigabytes. But with so much disk space, organization 
would be very helpful.

	In my personal experience, 2 ProDOS partitions, and the rest HFS 
has suited me well (I have a 105meg drive).

Ummm...you removed the RamFast driver? You won't be able to use the RamFast
without it, otherwise it will crash. Make sure the RamFast driver is installed.
In fact, I had to copy the RamFast driver onto the install disk before I could
boot /install and put 6.0 on my HD. You need the RamFast driver....Also,
make sure you have a recent version of the RamFast driver..Do you have the
Rom 2.01?

Also, don't get too hard on Apple. Apple specifically defines the format
of disk drivers and they adhere to it, else the Apple SCSI card wouldn't work
and many 3rd parties wouldn't work. If the RamFast driver and/or the RamFast
has trouble, don't you think it might be CVTech's problem and not Apple's?
It's possible that the driver has had problem all along, but it took 6.0s
sensitivity or paranoid code to finally break it. I think you're being way 
too harsh on Apple and System 6.0.
