WorldScript is the system extension which will simplify the job of
making multi-script systems (e.g., with English, Hebrew, Chinese, and so
on).  Since I'm not at Apple, I can't say whether it will come with
*fonts* for Chinese and Japanese, since those can be huge--the HonMincho
TrueType font is 7 Mb.  Judging from past experience, Apple will
probably ship WorldScript with the resources for all the supported
languages, including certain ugly (and small) fonts so that you can at
least display something.  Prettier fonts will likely be available
separately.  In the past, Apple supplied a Font Option Kit for
Traditional Chinese that included several megabytes worth of
nice-looking fonts.

He said that they were seperate products; he didn't say that they were

More info:  I have never used 32-bit addressing.  I do hope that someday
soon Apple will require 32-bit clean apps for system compatability,
but I am not holding my breath to be able to use 32-bit addressing for
everything.

Also, I found that when I tried to turn on VM, my machine crashed,
and the next few reboots got me bus errors and bad F-line errors.

I urgently need to convert some PICT (line art) files to something
I can read on the PC, e.g. CorelDRAW, Micrografx Designer, or EPS.

The Mac people here say, they don't have such a converter.
So, where can I FTP such a utility from?

The next revision of the FAQ will include an answer to question [5.2]

Subject: MacX -- Remapping Screen Numbers
Followup-To: comp.sys.mac.comm
Organization: The World Bank
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 17:46:59 GMT

I'm working on "timesharing" DOS by means of DesqView-X as an X-client and
X-servers on our Mac's.  DVX has the unfortunate limitation of only sending
to screen 0, and doesn't seem to recognize the subscreens that would let it
send to a MacX color window, e.g. 0.2 for the rootless.

I'd like to find a way to remap the screen to screen-number designation in 
MacX.  The facility isn't there as a feature, but if the screen-to-number
was in a resource, ResEdit should do the trick.  The idea would be to remap
the color screen (normally 0.2) to 0.0 so that the incoming session came
into a color rootless window.  The requirement isn't just cosmetic -- our
target application requires color.

BTW, Exodus does not have this problem, but we are already heavily invested
in MacX and don't want to repurchase lots of servers.

Does anyone have any ideas how to remap the screens, or other approaches. 
Mail is welcome, I'll summarize any successes.

Originator: willdm@pmax1.cis.pitt.edu


Has anybody had any problems with using the 2.1b4 version of Fetch?  I've
just been given a brand new Mac IIci 5/80 with Apple Ethernet card, running
System 7.0.1 and MacTCP 1.1, and I've been loading it up with all my favorite
software.  After I'd configured everything, I wanted to ftp some stuff that
I hadn't been able to use with my previous machine (Mac SE).

I invoked Fetch, and supplied the connection dialog box with the appropriate
logon info to connect to sumex.  I hit return and waited.  And waited.  And
waited.  The dog just continued to run and run with the "Connecting" message
under the Status area.  Puzzling.

The kicker is that when I use it to connect to one of the university's local
machines - any of them - I have no problem.

I don't think it's a problem with connecting to sumex, because I tried other
sites including rascal and umich.  And I have no trouble when I connect to
these sites using NCSA/BYU Telnet 2.5.

Thanks.

The problem is not the aggregate transfer rate.  Ethernet is a fast link, as 
far as MacTCP is concerned.  I'd go into more detail, but I'd be disclosing a 
trade secret of InterCon, and then I'd have to kill you :).

Suffice it to say that MacTCP was not designed for use with high-speed serial 
links.  There are a number of workarounds, but most of them impose 
performance problems of their own.

the specification "hardware=serial" (No, it's not hardware=SLIP)
is used in Telnet 2.5, and it doesn't work.  It consistently produces the
error "Could Not initialize Hardware level drivers" and then gets real
confused and asks you to find a copy of config.tel, which it was just using.

They're not, its just that they dont work at all.

Okay, I'm running SE's (Asantes) and Apple's ethernet drivers as installed by
the 800K NPI disk do not operate the card.  They have sys 6, so no tuneup.

Installing MacTCP (manual), Asante 4.0P, and NCSA 2.5 will lock the machine.
Occasionally flipping the TCP LAP to localtalk and back will make it work, but
rebooting will cause the problem to return.  This is a new subnet with NO
traffic on it.  Load is not a problem.  I'm about out of ideas.

Even that won't work (unless Jim has been really devious) becuase the LIST
command expects a seperate data path (TCP connection) to be created which
you can't do.  But I can't say I understand why you want to use the Send
FTP Command menu anyway... Fetch will show you directories in the window,
double click a directory entry and it will show you that directory, double
click a file and it will fetch the file.  You should never need to use the
Send FTP Command menu.

You could, if you really feel you must try out every menu, and Send FTP
Command is next on your list, use it to change directoris by issuing a
command like:
CWD /randomly/selecterd/directory
You can also use it to get at site specific features, sure as:
MACB ENABLE
in Telnet's or FTPd's server, as well as other random things that should be
describe in the docs of the ftp server.  The help command:
HELP
or
HELP CWD
may be useful to you if you like finding out arcane things...

Have fun,
   Peter.
