I have a problem with an Asante EN/SC box. The software (EN/SC EtherTalk
Installer 1.25) refuses to install itself on my powerbook 170/6Mb RAM with fax
modem. Toward the end of the istallation it says "there was a software problem,
your original system software has been restored". I'm running System 7.01.
I tried to disable all inits and extensions, but nothing changed.
I send twice a fax to Asante', and they did not even care to answer!

Can anybody help me? please answer by mail, since I have some difficulties in
accessing the news. Thanks

The Technician has been doing some work with University of Texas' Kermit for
the Macs and is somewhat impressed. He has been named to a campus task force
(farce? ;-) ) to come up with a standardized package and has done some
ResEditing to make it fit. Who's the contacts for this kermit? Posts have
been made to comp.protocols.kermit, but that group has been 'dead' for
months. The latest version .99(97) represents a lot of work by somebody, and
is a real good effort.

Best regards, G.

I am using WhiteKnight 11.12 to talk to a VAX mainframe ("8650")

I would like to strip line feeds from a file stored on the VAX without
transmitting it to my Mac, It there an y easy way to do this ON THE
VAX?

I tried the VAX line-editing command "s/<LF>//whole" but when I try to
put the line feed into this line with control-J, the VAX executes the
delete-from-cursor-to-beginning-of-the-line command.

Thx in advance for any suggestions,

Both of you are correct (isn't that annoying?)

System 7 filesharing has the disadvantage that it only accommodates
10 concurrent users and does not have print serving software. It is also 
limited
in the number of possible users as well - much more so that Ashare.

I have found Ashare 3 to be heaps faster than 7 Fsharing and invaluable in
that it can set the maximum no of users for a particular piece of software
(simple copyright protection)

There other things that I can't recall just now - but of the top of
my head these are the most important.

    Configuration: MacTCP (1.1) on a PowerBook 170 (7.0.1ball, Tuneup
1.1.1), connected via a DaynaPort E/Z-T (printer port to twisted pair)
to a Farallon PN507 StarController (and then via  AUI, baseband, fiber
controller, fiber, and repeater to an Ethernet in a building 100 meters
away).
    Problem: MacTCP won't do anything --- MPing won't even see the
workstations connected to the same StarController.
    Curious: DECnet for Mac works fine: I cana use CTERM to access hosts
in the other building. EtherTalk is clearly also working OK: I can
select other zones and send print jobs to them OK.
    Have already tried: restarting after trashing MacTCP DNR and MacTCP
prep; configuring with AdminTCP, muttering and cursing (bilingually).
    Has anybody seen any problems with MacTCP with the DaynaPorts or
StarControllers on PB's? Any other clues?

Check out ZTerm. It's Shareware, supports everything you want but 
programmable buttons, and can have a viewing area as big as you want. It 
also supports Z-Modem, Y-Modem, and batch versions, color ANSI, and is 
pretty fast.

For some reason, MacTCP doesn't seem to work when I try to access
machines that are non-local (outside our subnet?).

This goes for MacX, NCSA Telnet, and various FTP programs.  MacX gives
a message saying that it could only set up half the connection.

This used to work when I was running under appletalk (at least for
NCSA Telnet).

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know of a similar reader that can be used when you

No, not quite right.  MacX uses rexecd.
If you have your passwd file in the Hesiod database,
getpwnam is going to fail.  Hence, the login incorrect.

Hmm.  That's news to me.  MacX prompts the user every time a X client
wants to connect to the server.  I don't think most people are so
naive that they will allow any unexpected clients to connect.
I admit, it would be better if MacX showed more info on what type of
client is trying to connect to the server.

I have a 68040 accelerated Mac. My problem is that I have no floating point
exception handling for 68882 emulation. I have earlier asked here about this
but the only answer I got was that I have to have system 7.01 which is the
only system that handles 68040 correct. Now I have installed system 7.01
but I still get "Bad F-Line Instruction" when I start programs that execute
floating point instructions. This may mean that the floating point exception
handling is done in the Quadra PROMs.

Does anybody know where I can get a program that installs this exception
handling? I would also be glad if I just got a hint about where I can
find a program that can install the exception table in a proper way in
the Mac environment, because I have the 68882 emulation routines already.
I do, however, know nothing about programming in the Mac environment.

Well my suggestions range from the very easy to the *very* hard...

A fix to the option click on project flags update bug.

Saving the 'Uses extensions' preference along with all the other
preferences.

How about double clicking a project from the Finder when you've already
got a project open asking you whether you want to close the old project.

Make Application/Code Resource/Driver not asking you *ever* time whether
you want to replace the previous version.

The ability to communicate with ResEdit via AppleEvents.

Tool and SourceServer compatibility.  OK so Apple haven't released them
yet but I'll bet that when they do only Think C will support them.

Built in assembler.

Better compatibility.  Symantec do a great job of bringing out updaters
for new Macs (like 4.0.1 for the Quadra) but that shouldn't be necessary.
Away with the evil way Think does its integrated debugger.

Better code generation (but this is a bottomless pit into which one
could hurl programmers for ever so I'm not that worried).

Updates for compiling to PowerPC code (which I'd lay good money that
only Think C (or its replacement) will get).

A decent language!  This would include (again easiest to hardest)...
o Inlined procedures
o Fork structure control structures (ala Algol, Modula 2, Ada etc)
o Exceptions
o Aggregates (or even structure constants if true aggregates are too hard)
o Multiple inheritance
o Overloading
o Dynamic messaging in objects (like Objective C or indeed SmallTalk)

Wow, that should keep Symantecs Think Pascal team busy for a while.

Basically I want to tools to be able to say to the C++ programmers of
this world "go suck a neutron star".  The sooner that Mac programmers
give up the Pascal language and move on to something that, while
following in the tradition of Pascal, is a little more modern the
better.

if you run the following program in tc (and i assume in mpw), the
