We got ATM-J for $185 from SystemSoft, phone (407) 582-5106, fax (407)
582-5107, AppleLink KANJI.SALES, address 521 Lake Avenue, Suite One,
Lake Worth, Florida 33460.

BTW, one caveat.  ATM-J has a copy protection feature that prevents you
from loading your PostScript Japanese fonts onto your LaserWriter's
hard disk.  You have to leave them on your Mac.  

Latest rumors say that System 7.1 (which will be able to handle all the
two-byte systems:  both Chineses, Japanese, and Korean) should be out 
by the fall of '92.  I'm frankly not personally convinced that TrueType 
fonts are The Way To Go right now for the two-byte systems.  I understand 
that the font being developed currently at Apple for Japanese is on the 
order of 7 Mb.  That is also something I would rather not have cluttering 
up my Mac's hard disk.  I can imagine what the size is for a TrueType  
font for traditional Chinese.  :-(

Yes, MountImage can be the cause of numerous problems.  If one version works
better for you, use it.  Note that: (1) MountImage is a hack; (2) none of the
released versions are final, thus bugs are a given; (3) 1.1 may work better
than 1.2 because 1.2 has new features, so more ways to blow up.

That said, here's where things stand.  I'm working on a new release (hopefully
really stable).  A lot of it is done, but there's still a bit to do yet.  I
haven't really had the time or inclination lately to work on it since I've
been staring at a monitor at work enough hours each day that I don't have a
great desire to stare at my monitor at home.  As soon as things cool off at
work, I'll get back on it...

Subject: THANKS & Superdrive Question
Date: 6 Apr 92 21:39:50 GMT


The following is posted through a gateway to comp.sys.mac.apps,
comp.sys.mac.system, and comp.sys.mac.misc.  Since I can't do a
"normal" crosspost, this serves as warning: if you see an article
with the same subject/name and author as the one you are now 
reading, it is an identical post; you need not read it twice.

I received approximately 40 responses to my previous posting
entitled Mac to DOS-NEED HELP (or something like that).  That's
a tremendous response.  Thanks!

Virtually all folks said "Buy an FDHD drive."  Some added,
"and get PCAccess".  

One person suggested that I could do what I wanted (save
MSW 5 files as WordPerfect 5.1 DOS files) with my existing
equipment by formatting 800K diskettes as 720K DOS diskettes.
Not enough detail on this was given, but mail to that 
individual was returned by the demonic Daemon.

NEW QUESTION:

The Apple Upgrade to my Mac II would cost $400 through the
university.  An ad in MacUser (MacWarehouse ad) lists an 
"AE Superdrive" for only $219.  Can anyone tell me if the AE
drive would suffice?  I really don't have much money.  I also
want to know if I could save all the files either straight to
the DOS diskette, or maybe in a folder so that later I could 
transfer them all at once to the DOS floppy.  Finally, I think
I might have neglected to mention that I need to also provide
hardcopy.  Does anyone know a way to send all those files to
a Laserwriter Plus?  Do I have to first make them MS Word files
and send them one at a time? Or could I somehow "batch print"
them? even after they are saved in WP 5.1 DOS format?

Normally I save all reports in ONE MSW 5.0 document, and just
send that one document to print, then go have coffee.  I'm 
worried that if I have to type one report (some are shorter 
than a page, some are possibly 4-5 pages), then print, then
save as DOS WP 5.1, then transfer, etc., that I will lose so
much time that it isn't worth it.  Any ideas/experiences 
concerning this worry?  

Thanks again,

  A few days ago while working in an application, I got a too familiar 
alert, "Application unknown has unexpectedly quit, etc," but this one was 
different!  It contains language that seems to come from someplace else.  
The language is typical of that which would be used in an April Fool joke.
  I had tried out one of the INITS that were passed along as examples of 
April Fools's jokes, but had trashed the file.
  The language is quite particular and sounds (reads) familiar and I am 
hoping to discover if anyone can tell me the source from the brief snippit 
of text.
  I will point out that this has caused me NO problems, other than a 
curosity to discover where it came from.  I have examined the alerts for a 
variety of application that I thought could provide the source without 
luck.  I believe that if I rebuild the desktop, it might go away.
  The text that is the mystery follows:
 .
         The application *unknown* has unexpectedly quit,
         because WARNING: DO NOT DO THIS AT YOUR OFFICE 
         UNLESS EVERYONE HAS A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR!

   Any clues as to what contained this originally.

I am trying to get a TIFF file on a DOS disk imported into FrameMaker 
on my Mac.  I tried using the Default Translator in Apple File Exchange
but the file is not recognized as TIFF when it shows up on the Mac desktop.

I know the file is not the problem because I downloaded the file and it
looks fine...the problem is the Apple File Exchange application.

1.  Do I need a different translator binary?  Is it ftp'able somewhere?
    I did check around at ftp.apple.com with no success (maybe I didn't
    see it?).

2.  Is there some postprocessing I need to do on the file after it hits the
    Mac desktop?

Sorry if these are dumb questions...I've never tried to use File Exchange to
do anything useful before.

Yes, but GEnie has a reputation for doing this all the time - they put
stuff up, when somebody complains they take it down. In the meantime
everybody's already grabbed it. The administrators at GEnie ought to be
well aware that they don't have permission. One of the concerns Neil
Shapiro has expressed is that behavior like that might eventually cause
Apple to stop distributing their software to BBS's.

Help with Mac+ MacBottom HDD is needed.
Previously, the computer would startup from a startup floppy
which contained the 'Electric Start' utility and then transfer
control to the finder on the HDD.  After some experimenting
(my fault) the system starts up the MacBottom but the finder
from the Floppy stays in control and I have to go through a

Anyone able to give me some clues as to how I can fix this

Subject: Notification Manager STOPS printing, sort of
Organization: Yale CS Mail/News Gateway
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1992 21:09:52 GMT

Hi.

The closest LaserWriter is fairly far away, and I have to insert a
VendaCard.  When I print, it spools to printmonitor, and then I wait until
the printmonitor gets unhappy (everyone else on campus still uses system 6)
and so I bring printmonitor to the foreground, tell it Yes, it's okay to
restart the printer, and let my document roll while I sprint across campus
with my VendaCard.

Only last time, it stopped halfway through my document.  I walked back to
my room, to find that printing had STOPPED because Eudora had lost
connection with the POP server, gotten unhappy, and had the Notification
Manager put up its box that said "Excuse me, but Eudora could use some
help."

This isn't Eudora's fault, of course.  My point is: shouldn't printing
continue even though there's this dialog box up, especially if this is the
standard Apple accepted Notification Manager box?  

So, I have three questions:

1.  Would printing have continued if the printmonitor was in the
background,
    as it usually is?  My gut reaction is to say no, but I haven't tried.
    (The printer is _far_ away...)

2.  Isn't it Bad that the Notification Manager would stop printing, and
    presumably other stuff that might be unattended long jobs?

3.  Is there any way for me to stop this from happening now, before
    Apple (hint) fixes it?

Thanks.

I don't know about the update, but the following paraphrased is from
Larry Pina's book Macintosh Repair and Upgrade Secrets:

1. When idling in the Finder: Press the rear intrupt button. If you don't
   have the little plastic thing on your machine, use a wooden toothpick.
   The buttons are on the left side of the motherboard near the rear and
   can be reached through the holes in the case.

2. If you get a system error, you have 64k roms. This will only happen
   on a 128k or 512k. You should get a dialog box with a greater than ">"
   prompt. Type "DM400000" and press the return key. You should see
   a hex display of the rom similar to:

   400000 4d1e eee1 0040..........
   400010 xxxx xxxx xxxx

   For our purposes the only significant numbers are the first 6:

      Version 1 ROMs  4D1E EExx
      Version 2       4D1E EAxx
      Version 3       4D1F 81xx



The problems were fixed in the version 3 roms.

Normal programs, including the system, won't be able to use your
extra 1MB in 24 bit mode.  However there is an extension called 'RamDisk+'
that claims to allow you to use any sort of memory as the RamDisk,
even in 24 bit mode.  This would mean that you could reserve the 1MB
(or more) as a disk - loading frequently used programs onto it.

I tried RamDisk+ out, but didn't continue to use it for this reason:
When I told RamDisk to verify the memory it was using as a RamDisk,
it would always throw up an error (saying part of my RAM was bad)
in 24 bit mode, but not in 32 bit mode.  I find it unlikely that
my RAM is actually bad, since MacTestII MP checks it all - with
no errors.

Anyway, you'll find RamDisk+ on the archives - give it a try.  I'd
be interested to hear if someone else notices the same problem.

Never had any problems. On the 6.0.7 Mac, when I put something of my 7.0

You can use ResEdit to make 64x64-pixel 'cicn's. Just create a new 'cicn',
select Icon Size... from the cicn menu, and set it to 64 by 64. To draw it, use
the GetCIcon and PlotCIcon routines described on page 76 of IM-V.
