Image alchemy (in the simtel pc archives on archie as alchemy) will do the

There is a PC version there and a unix version exists. The Unix version is
hard(er) to locate, but email me if you have difficulties.

There was also supposed to be a mac version released in due course ( date ??)

we bought an epson lx-400 (9-pin, bottom of range printer), with the RS 232
option, this included 

a) the rs232 interface card, which enables link up to many devices including
mac
&
b) a cable mini-din 9 pin (mac) to 25 pin D plug (rs232 on printer)

we tried some printing from mac, looked very average and l cant remember where
we got the software drivers from. However, since we bought the printer for
another application this was not a major concern.

if you would like the pin configuration for the cable l can e-mail or post
on request

I've just received a rather large electricity bill, and I
was wondering whether having my PowerBook 100 plugged into
the mains all the time might be the problem?

I don't use the PowerBook very often, and so it's 
almost always plugged in at full charge. In that case, I
thought it would draw a minimal (zero ?) amount of current.

                     ********* W A N T E D **********

A LaswerWriter printer driver with either all or a combination of the
following options:

- be able to print one copy only, or an administrator selectable amount of
  copies of a document,
- to be able to set-up groups of users and passwords,
- to be able to give a user a password, and limit their options,
- to be able to keep a log of users that have printed.

Is there a way that any of the above options can be made by modifying an
existing printer driver with Res-Edit? ie. limit the number of copies to one.

Are ther any Public Domain, Shareware, Commercial printer drivers or software
that achieve some or all of the above goals?

I have heard of a printer driver called "LaswerOneCopy." Does anyone know
where I can find it?

This software is intended for use on a school computer network, and any help
would be greatly appreciated!

I am not that familiar with the powerbooks charging system, but I would not
recomend that you leave the battery pack in the unit if it is going to be run
on mains power for a extended period of time.
Doing so can damage some kinds of rechargable batteries.

However this is only a passing comment not owning a powerbook myself I am not
really in a position to give technical advice on the matter, I just thought I
would throw my 2 cents in.

Food for thought from the trouble shooter without any bullets.

(Apologies if this article appeared OK before...)

I've finally managed to pick up a copy of Single Gun Theory's "Exorcise this
Wasteland" CD (Nettwork/Capital CD NTCD-39) and have found two magnetic-tape
type dropouts on two of the tracks (and also two unlisted bonus tracks!!).
Track 7 has them between 1:28 and 1:30 (approx), and track 10 has them between
2:34 and 2:36.  Both dropouts sound very similar and switch "randomly" between
the left and right channels.  There doesn't appear to be any visible defect
on the disk, nor is there any dust/dirt marks or scratches.  Could somebody
please check their copy (I hope someone has a copy out there!) to see if this
is a univeral master tape problem, or if it's just my disk and/or machine.
Please mail/postnews replies to me ASAP.

Much thanks in advance,

I just thought I'd post to see if anyone is getting really sick of how long it
takes for a new album to be released in Australia after its release in the US or
the UK. The 2 I'm waiting on at the moment are The Sundays new album "Blind" 
which was released atleast 1-2 months ago and still isn't available - I have
no idea when it will be out either (especially since The Sundays are on a new 
label and I don't know which one it is) and the new 10,000 Maniacs album "Our 
Time In Eden" which was released yesterday at last (news care of WEA) - again
this has been available for 1-2 months in the US.

Of course I could have gotten either of these on imprt (and paid highly for them
too) but I just want to know why? I think it's pretty poor anyhow...

Annoyed (and doing exams),
Chris.

Is this your "quote-of-the-year" Andrew?????  I remember you saying
exactly the same thing about the KLF in that funny little script you

Notice how all those people who criticised Kylie have now crawled
back into their holes after they saw how popular she was?  Her GREATEST
HITS album, which got the biggest bagging *EVER* on aus.music, debuted
at #3 on the albums chart here in the first week of release!  Now that

Well, 2 weeks ago, it was HUMPIN' AROUND, by Whitney's hubby, Bobby
Brown.  But Indecent Obsession are looking hot, with their current
single (over there), INDIO.  They took KISS ME to #1 just a few
months ago, and INDIO looks like doing the same.  Now, why is
such an internationally successful group ignored back home in
Australia?  They write most of their own stuff, and have proved
to the world they have real talent.  Even ol' Andrew Llyod Webber
signed up lead singer, David Dixon, to star in the Australian
season of JASON AND THE AMAZING TECHNOCOLOR DREAMCOAT (or whatever
it is called!).  It just goes to show how narrow-minded some people
are here, quick to dismiss INDECENT OBSESSION as nothing but a "teen"
group, whose popularity is just due to undeserved public hype,
and has nothing to do with any musical talent they might have.
WRONG!  WRONG!  And WRONG!  There!!!
