I didn't see the original question, but if you are looking for unattended
power up/power down, then PowerKey and PowerKey remote does what you want.  It
is only available for North America power (120VAC/60Hz) and they have no plans
to add functionality for other power systems (I work in an engineering center
that recommends this kind of thing worldwide to our field organization - if
you discover something similar that works outside North America, I'd
appreciate being informed of it).  PowerKey consists of a "power-strip" type
thing with 4 AC outlets and an ADB connector.  When you push the mac's power
on key, everything on this strip is activated.  It also has a builtin line
conditioner/spike filter.  It comes with software (QuicKeys2 Lite) to let you
schedule the startup/shutdown stuff (that's right, you can schedule a
startup!).  If you add PowerKey Remote, you get the capability to startup your
mac with an incoming phone call.  I have more info if you want it.

Open the System Folder on her startup disk.  Inside that open
a folder called "Extensions."  There should be a file there
called "System 7 Tuner."  If there is, select it then hit
clover-I (official docs call it the "Command" key but it
looks like a 4-leaf clover to me) for a get info box.  Just
above the comments box will be a version number line.

Subject: IIvx vs. IIci and DeskPicture (NOW Utilities)
Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.misc
Organization: University of California, Irvine
Date: 26 Jan 93 07:24:17 GMT

I installed DeskPicture 3.0.2 on a IIci and IIvx under these conditions:

Images stored as PICTs by GIFConverter 2.2.10, formerly GIFs.
Used PICT Compressor (Quicktime) to shrink them, default compression.
IIvx running 7.1, IIci running 7.0.1/1.1.1, both 8-bit internal
video.

When running with DeskPicture active, and very similar INIT sets,
there is a NOTICEABLE lag on the vx when you move a window, and
in screen refreshes in general. So much so that one would think 
it's an LCII or IIsi. This lag is NOT there on the IIci; window-
filling and refreshes are all as quick as one would expect.

I originally thought that this was a *visible* manifestation
of the vx's 16Mhz motherboard, but then I remembered that the
vx has dedicated VRAM, the ci system RAM.

What gives, o net gods?

	GifConverter (shareware) can indeed do this.  One thing to make sure to
do with your image  is change the palette from "apple icon colors" to "standard
256 colors", or whatever your system supports.  Otherwise you picture looks 
pretty strange.

	As for putting it on the desktop, I used to use 'DeskPict' (freeware) 
but I have recently switched to 'ColorDesk' (shareware).  Colordesk allows much
easier switching of pictures, and the 'stretch to fit' is an optional setting
where DeskPict does it to the picture, like it or not.

good luck,

I've received three replies, and the situation remains confusing.
 
I'll summarize and then end with a question --
    Is there an ftp'able Photo-JPEG decompressor available outside 
    Quicktime 1.5?
 
Two replies, from Craig Steele (steele@vlsi.cs.caltech.edu) and Maynard
 Handley (maynard@lynx.msc.cornell.edu), explained that Quicktime 1.5
solves  the problem, and that QT 1.5 runs for them under System 7.0.1. 
 
It seems that 20 of the photos are in Quicktime PICT format, for which 
Quicktime 1.0 is sufficient. The 5 that I can't see require both
Quicktime  and a Photo-JPEG decompressor (which is apparently in QT 1.5). 
 
The third reply muddied the waters again.

Moreover, Maynard Handley, who sees all the images with QT1.5 under

I myself have not been able to run QT1.5 under 7.0.1.  It refuses to
load  (even with no other extensions around except tuneup 1.1.1). 
Could this be because I run the Icelandic version of 7.0.1?
 
So, is there an ftp'able Photo-JPEG decompressor available outside 
Quicktime 1.5?

I'd have to look a little at your stack before I could help you with
the first problem which is figuring out where the cursor is.  The
second problem seems easy - but the scripting level must be Authoring
or Scripting to have it work - select (before/after//) chunk
e.g. select after char 1 of line 3 of card field x.
That reestablishes your insertion point, and so TYPE will now work, if
you choose that route.

Hi.

I got a message from the hypercard usergroup regarding deprotecting
a stack. The following is the code the guy sent.

         -----------------

Try this. Create a stack containing a button and the following script:
on mouseUp
  put filename("STAK") into fname
  if fname is empty then exit mouseUp
  deprotect fname
  if the result is empty
  then answer "Deprotect Successful" with "OK"
  else if the result is -49
  then answer "Sorry, that file is busy."
  else if the result is -44
  then answer "Sorry, the disk is locked."
  else answer "Failed: unexpected file system error: " & the result with
"OK"
end mouseUp
 This is a script I found someplace, and I've usually been successful with it.

                ------------

I tried this. But it did not work properly. My debugger did not understand
the word "deprotect". Is there anybody who knows about the deprotecting 
stuff?  It will be very helpful to me, if anybody lets me know.

Thanks in advance.

Jin.

Question: do you get a message like "QuickTime and a Photo-JPEG codec are
needed to see this picture", or do you just get a blank image?

If it's the latter, it sounds like the same sort of problem I've hit. The
QuickTime 1.5 documentation indicates that a change was made to the way
QuickTime-compressed data is stored in a QuickDraw picture. I assumed from
my quick skim of the description that the change was done in a backward-
compatible fashion, but it appears this is not the case.

The result is that compressed pictures created under QuickTime 1.5 are not
viewable under QuickTime 1.0. It does work the other way, though.

In the meantime, the way I've done this is to create a transparent
button that covers the width of all (3) fields, and is the height
of a single line. When you want to hilite a "row", you simply set
the topleft, or, rect, or loc of the button so that it's in the
right place, and set its hilite to true. 

Here's sample code:

on mouseup
  global currentRow
  put word 2 of the clickline into currentRow
  put (currentRow * the textheight of me) + B
  item 2 of the rect of me - 10 into theVloc
  put item 1 of the rect of me into theHloc
  set the loc of bg btn hiliteRow to theHloc,theVloc  
  set the hilite of bg btn hiliteRow to true
end mouseup

You'd then want to add code that would deal with the cutting,copying,
and pasting (i.e. trapping cut and copy so that it puts all 3 pieces
into a global, and paste so that it uses what's in the global, rather
than what's on the clipboard, and puts stuff in the right place.)

hope this helps.
