Subject: Default font on MacWrite II
Date: 16 Nov 92 17:41:14 GMT
Organization: New York University

I have alsways wanted to know, is there a way of changing the default font
on Macwrite II.  I happens every time that I bbot the application and get
document one and there we I go  Helvetica again!.  It's not a font I am
particularly fond of, any way to stop it starting off with it.

A minor irritation, I know but I was wondering if there is a solution.
I'm not using 7 or any of its offspring but 6.08 if that makes adifference
Thank you for your time

[reposted due to news screwup - sorry if you've seen it]

This has happened several times now, so I'm not hallucinating.

At any random time, although very infrequently, my PB170 will play a
glissando (rapidly rising series of tones) and display this in the
upper right corner of the finder bar (to the right of the application
icon): 

                  _     _
                   |   |       (sort of a cup -- magnified 3x)
                   |   |
                   -----

And when I press a key, the little thingy disappears and it plays a
slightly slower glissando *down*.  If I don't press a key, it plays
the sound anyway after about 10 seconds.

I wonder if I've caught something.

******* Anybody have a clue? *******

You need to disable the network extensions (which you probably don't need
anyway unless you're connected to a network).  I believe you can't change
the name of a hard drive when file sharing is turned on.

In Steven Bobker's article in the "Bridges" section of the October '92
MacUser, he says that "what is sold as an ImageWriter II connector cable"
will do the trick. I guess it makes the same pin-to-pin connections as the
LocalTalk or PhoneNet connectors would. 

(Hmm. It can't be _quite_ that simple, I don't think... depends on what's
actually inside the connector boxes...)

Yes you are supposed to be able to view them on an LC with 6.0.8. Apple general
ly recommends as 68020 class machine or above, which means you qualify (barely)
 :)

Lots of RAM is recommended but you can probably get by with as little as 2 megs
.

There are numerous ftp sites with Quicktime movies, but I don't know any of the
ir addresses at this moment.

Try to use QuickTime 1.5. It decompresses faster so you can display larger movi

Just got and sent back System 7.1. Not worth it.

System 7.1 requires you to upgrade virtually all your software, as most
things will not work properly, or are just plainly incompatible with 7.1,
including Publish It Easy 2.9, Illustrator 3.2, Ready,Set,Go! 4.5a,
HyperCard 2.1, Most CD-ROM drivers, Scanner Drivers, Monitor Drivers,
Printer Drivers, (all non-apple of course), MacLabelPro, After Dark, ATM
2.3, OnCue II, Adobe Type Reunion, Adobe Type Align, MacPaint, MacDraw...

...And many, *MANY* more...



Seems Apple does not feel $99 for the software upgrade is enough, and also
wants you to have to pay $$$ for third party upgrades too!  Out of 50 some
applications on our HD, only about 12 of them were "compatible" and of
them, about four were only "sorta" compatible (i.e. may randomly crash....


We called several companies, and found many of them are encouraging Apple
(oops!) Encouraging people to tell Apple what they can do with System 7.1
(and I don't mean lower the price either---)

Not neccesarily; you can still purchase ATM from any number of mail order
firms for $59 or so.  Remember that the $59 ATM package comes with the
PostScript versions of Times, Helvetica, Symbol and Courier, whereas the $7.50
pack only comes with Garamond.

Make sure that you don't have another copy of DiskCopy that is

I had a similar pirating-ethics problem a while back.  I had been using
MacWrite 5.0 legitimately on my school's computers for a long time, and had
many MacWrite 5.0 files and was used to doing things in that program.
Then I bought my own Mac and acquired a legitimate copy of MacWrite II,
but continued to use a pirated copy of MacWrite 5.0 for most of my work 
(MacWrite 5.0 was no longer on the market at this point, I believe.)  So, was
I guilty of piracy?  The point could be argued, but I don't think I was.
I think that owning a newer version of a program legitimizes use of
earlier versions of the same program.

I have switched over to MacWrite II now, which I have legitimately, so
this particular case is no longer an issue for me.

Well, I believe that MACA is the creator code for MacWrite.

As for its "clear and shocking" name, I could care less at this point.

Is it me, or does this seem like a loaded question? The impression I got
from reading this is "well, I have an interesting problem, but I'm not
going to tell you the whole story. We'll get everybody to comment, then
I'll give the whole story."

I, personally, wish people would give _more_ information so we can save
time and effort trying to solve the problem.

I'd recommend re-installing your system fresh (ie, no previous system folder). I installed 7.1 fine, and my stylewriter prints perfect in the background.
So it sounds like a botched up install. As for fonts, the installer will leave
any specially installed fonts (for programs) in the system file itself still.
Strange, but it it did it with my SoftPC fonts. Yes, you have to drag them to
the font folder yourself, or you can just leave them there. no harm done.

Date: 24 Nov 92 05:22:24 GMT
Organization: UB
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]

Hi.  I'm having some problems with using some Mac SE's on an ethernet
netork.  

BKGRND INFO:  Twisted pair ethernet Farallon cards in machines from
Mac II to LC's and Quadra's.  These all connect to the network no
problem.

PROBLEM 1:  Mac SE had external SCSI drive and was used as a server.
It had it's startup disk be the external drive, and it was running
System 7.0 (7.0.1?)  Anyway, it was connected fine to the network.
Now this machine was real slow as a server, so it was replaced with an
LCII, and now we're trying to get THAT SAME MAC SE to connect to our
network.  Now obviously it's NOT a problem with the card.  The System
software was reinstalled on this HD (recall it was booting off of the
external SCSI drive) along with Apple's network installer disk, and
Farallon has a ethertalk installer disk.  All this done, I rebooted,
used the NETWORK control panel to select ethertalk (not localtalk) and
tried the CHOOSER.  Can't see ANY other machines.  Tried LaserWriter,
can't see either of our two printers.  Any clues?  The external drive
it WAS running off of was definitely running System 7.0.  


PROBLEM 2:  We have another MacSE that's connected to the network.
It's running System 6.0.5.  Connects fine to the printers, and can see
other machines on the network.  Problem being, other machines can't
see it, never could.  I presumed this was a symtom of System 6.0.5, so
I wanted to install system 7.0.  (couldn't use 7.0.1 or 7.1 since
they're on HD disks).  Got the system installed, reinstalled the Apple
Network Software (using their installation disk) and then installed
the Farallon network stuff.  Now this machine which only has a new
System on it (the machine booted off of the same HD) can now NOT see
the network.  UGH...this is getting frustrating.  I tried to downgrade
to system 6.0.5 again, but still can't reach the network.  What's up
with this?  These machines NEED access to the network, and seemingly
should be able to reach it.  

Please Help.

One more little question.  Is there a way to get later version of
System 7.x on Low Density disks?  Is there an easy way to get this
stuff on a new machine short of using the network?  Obviously that
won't work in the above cases.

Thanks for all the info.

	To answer some of your questions...Yes, QuickTime 1.5 requires Sys 7.1.
I at this time do not know where you can ftp QT v.1.0....sorry. The reason the
scrapbook also crashes is because it is altered (I think, although altered may
not be the right word...I should say interfered with) QT 1.5. For the new 
feature that QT 1.5 has is that you can cut, past and copy and play QT movies
into the Scrapbook very nice!!!! Although, I too have experienced crashes
initially with QT v.1.5 when I first installed it. I'm still baffled as to
why. I'm running sys 7.1. Regardeless after the second or third startup its
worked fine with everything! If anyone has anything to add on this one go for
it. I'm eager to hear! (By the way I ftped v.1.5 off of Sumex.)

Get AutoDoubler 2.0.  I have 60Mb of stuff on my 40Mb drive.
Word 5.1 is supposed to have special PB installation hacks to save
space.  
Now Utilities (I think) has some enhancements for power-saver
flexibility, but I could be wrong.

BTW, I almost never use the PB170 when it's not plugged in.  It never
seems to be good for more than an hour.
