Urgh. I see what you mean. Well, you've got me stumped. It might
be time to go and find the Novell admin and hit him repeatedly

Sorry, I misled you slightly there -- you don't actually need
anything on your end. NetWare for Mac is actually a NetWare
Loadable Module (is that the right terminology?) which runs on
the PC end. I don't think you need anything at all on the Mac
end, other than the usual Mac networking stuff. I certainly don't
have any Novell stuff on my Mac. I think the most recent version
is 3.11, but don't quote me on that.

There's got to be a better way!!!  (I hope)....



I have a set of files that I regularly copy onto a floppy disk to 
shuttle between home and work.  The files are rightfully stored in 
different directories on my disk.   I had the bright idea that I could
keep a folder of aliases so I could speed up the daily find and copy 
process.  Only problem is,  copying the folder only copies the _aliases_,
not the files themselves.   I guess this is the "logical" thing to 
expect,  but...

What I _really_ want is a way to tell the finder to copy the object the
alias points to,  not just the alias.  


{Right now,  I manually go to each alias, do a Get Info, click on
"Find Original", then drag the resultant file....  but this is very
tedious, and makes me wish there was a command shell on the Mac!!}

Now that I've explained what I want to do,  and why I want to do it,
does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this feat?

 Thought this might be of general interest...

 Here's a couple of ways:

 . Use something like either MasterJuggler or Suitcase (or the shareware
 CarpetBag) to open the FKEY file. 

 . Install the FKEY directly into the System file using Resedit (copy the FKEY
 resource from the FKEY file, and paste it into the System file). Always work
 on a copy! 

 Remember that the FKEY's resource ID determines what key combination is used
 to invoke it. For example, if the ID is 0, Command/Shift/0 would be used to
 invoke it.

 CE's Quickeys can assign other key combinations to FKEYs, which lets you get
 around the ten FKEY limit imposed by the Command/Shift/0-9 keys.

The Laser Prep 7.0 file is include on the System 7 Group Update CD and
the "Printing" disk so that an AppleShare Print Server 2.0 may be upgraded
to support the LaserWriter 7.0 driver. The AppleShare Print Server 2.0 has
it's own LaserWriter driver built in and all it needs to print is a Laser
Prep file. In fact, the AppleShare Print Server completely ignores any
LaserWriter driver that may be installed into the System Folder of the
server.

Page 49 of the "System 7 Group Upgrade Guide" states the following
procedure for upgrading an AppleShare Print Server 2.0 to support the
System 7 LaserWriter drivers:

     1. Shutdown the print server software.

     2. Install the printer driver update as described in the previous
section.

     3. Drag the LaserPrep icon from the Printer Update folder to the
Server 
        Folder of the print server Macintosh.

     4. Restart the print server Macintosh and the AppleShare Print Server 
        software.

In actuality, the "System 7 Group Upgrade Guide" adds an extra step,
step number 2, that is unnecessary. Installing the printer driver update
will have no effect on the AppleShare Print Server software.

Note: AppleShare Print Server 3.0 uses the LaserWriter installed on the
system it is running on.

You definitely should be concerned about the RAM -- I wouldn't try
running sys7 on a IIsi until I upgraded to 5 Mb.  (BTW, 4 1MB SIMMs
costs about $100, less if used)  You can do it w/3Mb, but you won't be able
to run more than one big app at one time.

VM isn't too bad on speed, but it takes a lot of disk space -- which
would be a concern with a 40Mb drive.  Obviously things will run a bit
faster w/o VM running.

No, it won't be a problem.  You'll just be missing a bit more than you

I believe 7.0.1 was just an upgrade to support the Quadras, you don't
need to use it on a IIsi.  But there's no harm in using it -- the
differences between 7.0 and 7.0.1 are minor.

You're wrong.  :)  I think it even works with System 6.

But I think Apple's doing a bad thing by not putting it into 7.1.
Sure, it can be ftp'ed for free, but your average Mac-owner doesn't

That's the way VM works in System 7.  It uses disk space equivalent to
the total memory size, not just the difference between real memory
size and virtual memory size.  I can't help with the other questions,
except to say that I run VM on my IIci and haven't seen anything like
that.

I don't think 7.0.1 changes VM, but the Tuneup package(s) might.  At
any rate, you should have Tuneup 1.1.1 installed for other reasons.

Hello,

I just installed ChineseTalk II v1.1 on my IIci and everything works fine
except that the word "Trash" underneath the trash icon comes out as a bunch
of weird characters.  This also happened to the words "items" , "on disk",
and "available", which appear across the top of each window you open.
I have already taken out all the items not originally in system 7 from 
 the extensions folder and the control panels folder.

 I also tried installing ChineseTalk on my friends' IIsi, and everything
 comes out beautifully .  (Everything is in Chinese, even the word "trash").
 I didn't even have to remove anything from the extensions folder or
 control panels folder.

 Also, on my computer, the alarm clock desk accessory doesn't seem to work
 right when I am using the Chinese system.  For some reason, parts of the
 numbers don't show up.  Hence, a zero looks more like half a zero.

 Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do now?
 Or maybe someone knows what the problem is?

 By the way, I am running system7.0 with TuneUp 1.1.1

Organization: Doctoral student, Mechanical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA

We have an original LaserWriter which we have been using for years as a
printer connected to a Sun by a serial line.  In this mode it works
fine.  The problem arises when after properly connecting and switching
over to Appletalk.  In this case, the Chooser locates and allows me to
select the printer and to print to it.  However, almost every file I try
to print (from word, etc...) will not print.  I get a postscript error
making reference to the command exitserver.  The only files I've been
able to print have been using SendPS to print a text file.  No
postscript files generated with command-f or command-k work, no other
applications, etc...

This suggests to me a problem in the version of Postscript in the
Laserwriter roms.  However, I can't believe that Apple leaves people
hanging,  shouldn't the LaserWriter driver work for ALL laserwriters. 
(BTW I've tried Laserwriter 5.2 and 7.0)

Any ideas for correcting this problem, or about what is going on?

   The reason I'm asking this is that we're setting up a large FirstClass BBS

Can the software store messages in sub-folders of the main

The idea is to use the board as a switching mechanism for video signal.
[I DO NOT WANT TO DIGITISE THE SIGNALS.]

There will probably be say 5 - 10 input video signals which must be

As I suspect that no board like this exists, if anyone has an input/output

This is on a IIfx with System 7.0 plus Tune-Up 1.1.1, LaserWriter 7.1.1,
QuickTime 1.0, Wild Magic 2.0, and a bunch of other stuff. I was doing the
printing with TeachText 7.0. The images themselves were from various

Hi there.  System 7 lets you use graphics from applications such as
MacPaint to replace the normal icon for any file.  To do so, you copy
the picture you want to replace the file's icon with to the clipboard,
Get Info on the file from the Finder, click on the file's icon in the Get
Info winodw (a small box will appear around it, indicating that it has been
selected), and choose Paste from the Edit menu.  My guess is that you've
pasted a blank picture into your file's Get Info window, replacing its
icon.  Try choosing Get Info; then click the mouse in the place where
the icon should be and press the Delete key.  This will clear anything
that you've pasted in and replace it with the file's original icon.

Probably the best prolog available for the Mac is LPA Mac-Prolog; this is
