I've uploaded the following to cco.caltech.edu, in pub/apple2/uploads/.
The usual applies, I will -not- post to cba2 even if you beg/plead/feed me
after midnight.  

sprite.shk  -  Sprite compiler and demo by Jawaid Bazyar of Procyon, Inc.
               Source is included, but you'll need Orca/C 1.3 and Orca/M 2.0
               to rebuild.

tinytoons.shk- synthLAB version of the theme song to the best show on TV.  
               Converted from an IBM Roland MT-32 MIDI file; includes .BNK 
               needed to emulate that sound module.

subdiv.shk  -  synthLAB version of Rush's 'Subdivisions' from the _Signals_
               CD.  Also from an IBM Roland MT-32 MIDI file; also includes
               custom .BNK file.  Not the greatest arrangement, but it beats
               nothing by a large margin :)

...Enjoy!

Apple itself only reimburses dealers for entire mechanisms... Not just
pieces.  This stinks because you end up buying an entire new drive for
one little bent spring or something.

When my head got damaged, I bought an old, cheap Mac 800K drive.  If you
are careful, you can open it up, pull out all the little screws, etc...
(Don't stretch out those little springs!!!!) and remove the heads. Although
the ROMs don't work in the newer drives, the heads sure do!  You might
need to lightly bend the flange (that moves the head back and forth as
the spindle turns) until the heads can accurately center on- and read
the tracks of existing disks.

I performed this operation over a year ago, and my drive is still healthy.

The question is: Can you use those IBM 720K heads in an Apple drive?

Re: uEmacs

Well, it's certainly powerful.  It has zillions of functions built-in.
The problem is that they're all assigned to nonsensical key combinations,
some of which are three or four keystrokes long.  If I knew how the heck
to change the keys to use, say, the AppleWorks keys, I'd probably consider
using it.

As it is, I use **ugh** Stevie and the Orca/1.2.1 Editor

That is a bug in the ROM 03 version of StatusTextDev.  It caught me
out in an earlier version of my ABOUT program, which was using
StatusTextDev to see if the printer was online.  Whenever trying to
print on a ROM 03, it always brought up a dialog box saying the printer
was offline!  I fixed this in version 1.5, about a year ago.

I seem to recall that this function doesn't work properly on a ROM 01
either, but it has a DIFFERENT bug (I don't remember the details).

In the end, I just used FWEntry to call the Pascal firmware's STATUS
routine directly (by looking at the appropriate location in $C1xx to
find the address, etc.)

Date: Thu, 05 Nov 92 22:42:41 MST
Organization: Edmonton Remote Systems #1, Edmonton, AB, Canada

Earlier this week, someone suggested that I re-install ProTERM 3.0 to
see if that would solve my problem. I tried it and am still running
into the same problem. I've even tried re-installing System 6, but no
avail. ProTERM will just lock up after a while of use, when I'm
online, accessing the editor, or reading the scrollback buffer.
Sometimes I get strange inverted characters, sometimes lines will
overwrite each other, sometimes I get strange message, mousetext
charaters and so on. But no matter what, when ProTERM acts up I can't
do anything but re-boot. Very distressing. I've lost several messages
while composing them in the editor. Now I have to resort to writing
my responses and messages with a word processor and hope when I use
ProTERM I can send them. I've read that a few people with
accellerated TWGS have had the same problem, but I'm still running at
7 MHz. Help.

Yo, back...

The issue isn't whether you're ten years old or fifty years old.  The
issue is wasted bandwidth (the wastage is comprised of fluff and what

I am assuming the two grammar checkers are TimeOut Grammar and Sensible
Grammar.  TimeOut Grammar only works within AppleWorks 3.0 while Sensible
Grammar will check the grammar of text files from a variety of Apple II
(8 bit) word processing formats.  Note that TimeOut Grammar does not work
on older versions of AppleWorks.

TimeOut Grammar and Sensible Grammar check grammar in the same way, by
looking for commonly misused phrases, and common punctuation mistakes.
Both programs will not check to see if you have accidentally changed the
tense in the middle of a sentence, unless it's a common mistake that is
listed in the grammar lists.

TimeOut Grammar is a bit more up to date because it is a newer program.

Both programs allow you to pick what kind of phrases that they will check
for.  If you notice that you make a common mistake and you want the grammar
program to flag you each time you make it, TimeOut Grammar has grammar lists
that are user definable.  Sensible Grammar may, but I don't remember.

Finally, TimeOut Grammar barely works on an Apple with the minimum recommended
memory configuration (64k).  I think you are limited to a document about 12k
or so.  This is a problem because as TimeOut Grammar checks your grammar, it
loads the grammar lists into memory.  If there is not enough memory to load
all lists, the program checks your document with the lists in memory, dumps
them, and loads as many more lists as memory allows.  Since some lists are
large, you need to make sure you have enough free memory before invoking
TimeOut Grammar.  If you don't have enough memory, the program will lock up.
Fortunately, you can take advantage of the TimeOut patch to AppleWorks, hit
control-reset to return to the main menu.

I hope this comparison helps.  I am a registered owner of Sensible Grammar,
and I "beta" tested TimeOut Grammar while I was working at Quality Computers.

There was an upgrade to the Thunderscan software.  (It had to, to support th
IIGS' new graphic resolutions).  There was both a P8 and a P16 version. (I like
to use the P8 version.  It's much faster, and often offer higher quality.)
Both supported 360/620 B/W resolution.  I don't think there is much
improvement in the basic hardware.  All you need is to get the software
upgrade (which might or might not be offered by the company, as they are 
concentrating on Mac/IBM products).

As for OCR, I don't know.  I don't even know why it doesn't support Lightning
Scan GS (which is fairly similar to the Quickie).  There is a lot of talk of
an upcoming upgrade to Inwords.  Perhaps these two scanners would be supported
then...
