The latest version of Gatekeeper can always be obtained via
anonymous ftp to the microlib/mac/virus directory of 
microlib.cc.utexas.edu.  It can usually be found on other
major Macintosh archive sites, but is always available on
microlib (I put it there personally).

	If you haven't found it already:  ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu then cd

And there you go.  BTW, I don't guaramtee that I have the directories correct

We called the company that makes AHED, and just received version 1.0A,
which
IS 32 bit clean.  Works fine now on my Quadra, running with 20M RAM.

They wanted $9.95 to "upgrade", even when they admitted that the product
they are currently shipping has this problem!!  A bad policy, but,
otherwise, a great program!

Reply-To: galanter@nyu.edu (Philip Galanter)
Organization: New York University
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 23:53:00 GMT

Announcing a new mailing list discussion group for those interested
in hardcopy computer art.  Here is our initial charter:

     "The PAPER-L electronic bulletin board is designed to provide
a place for artists and technicians to discuss the use of hardcopy
media for computer art, and other issues related to such art.  This
would include, for example, discussions of various printers, papers,
and related photographic processes, archival issues, esthetic
issues, the announcement of computer art shows and gallery openings,
and market issues relating to computer art. This bulletin board is
an outgrowth of the "works on paper" birds-of-a-feather meeting at
the Siggraph '92 meeting held in Chicago."

We hope to meet again at Siggraph '93.  We also hope to gain the
e-mail participation of artists on other networks (e.g. CompuServe)
via internet gateways, interested printer and imaging companies
(e.g. Iris, Kodak, Tektronix), and related service companies and
galleries (e.g. Nash Editions).  So please pass this along!

To join in, send e-mail to:

listserv@acfcluster.nyu.edu (internet) or listserv@nyuacf (bitnet)

and as the body of the message include this line with _your_ name:

subscribe paper-l John Smith

Once your subscription has been processed you will be sent a
response.  From that point on you will be able to send mail to all
subscribers via the address:

paper-l@acfcluster.nyu.edu (internet) or paper-l@nyuacf (bitnet)

If any of this proves to be problematic, send direct e-mail to me
at the address below.  If direct e-mail also fails please consult
with your local network administrators.

Thanks for your interest,

 Phil

I use GK 1.2.7 with StuffIt SpaceSaver (1.0.3--whatever, it's the
latest version) and I don't have the disappearing Apple Menu Icon
problem you're having.  Maybe it's some other combination of your
extensions/control panels.  I have a IIx with Radius Rocket 33,
17MB of RAM, System 7.1, 32-bit mode on, VM off.

Colin,
I have an HP Deskwriter at home which I use alot.  A couple friends who 
have Stylewriters were over once and drooled at the output speed and 
quality of the HP as compared to their Stylewriters.  I have heard that 
Apple has new drivers available and are there may be Stylewriter II coming 
out soon with dramatically increased speed. 

But I still love my HP.

The American Heritage Electronic Dictionary is not 32-bit clean. My department
chairman could only run it on his Quadra if he turned off 32-bit addressing.
The tech support people said they knew about it but didn't know when it would
be fixed.

I've got a Kensington Turbo Mouse, too. I must say, that it's
beginning to
hurt me a lot, too. Once, it was much better, but now, it seems just
as bad
as anything else that I've ever used.

Actually, it's an indoor soccer injury that started both my wrists
hurting.
I was flipped through the air and landed my whole weight on both
wrists
simultaneously.

What I think that Kensington should do is to make a
"downward-sloping" front
Turbo Mouse, similar to what Apple did with the ADB mice. Remember
that
one? I tried turning the trackball upside down and adding the
"april11 init"
to reverse the directions, but it wasn't quite right. Oh well. Just

Actually your formula sounds pretty good. Printing colour TIFF
scans at 150 lpi should do it. Most offset presses can't handle
anything higher than 150 although I've heard of some that can
handle 200 lpi. Scanning higher than 300 dpi will only increase
the file size and slow down the Lino with little or no gain in
output quality.

I have one and think it does an excellent job of printing color scans - much
better than I thought it would. However, everything is relative, and I am
factoring in the price and the fact that prior to this I had no way to print
color scans except through an expensive service bureau.
It's not photographic quality by any means, so if that's what you are looking for,
then keep looking, but if you are prepared to accept a little less than that,
then it can be great fun!

I can't answer all the questions but I can answer some.

>How is the Quicktime playback off of CD?

I'm not a quicktime expert but things play well off my external CD300.  Any
quicktime movie that's any good will have to be pretty large, so a CD is a 
good place to leave them.

>Have you played around with sampling a standard Audio CD? From the

Define 'sampling'.  You mean playing one?  See below.  As far as getting clips
from your favorite RUSH album into 'snd ' files, you can't do it with the 
standard Apple CD setup package (that I know of).  I imagine someone will
write something to do it soon enough.

>Any weird conflicts? (Other than MIDI)

Yes!  The audio CD init seems to conflict with AccessPC.  You have to make a 
choice - listen to tunes or read MS-DOS floppys, sometimes the choice gets made
for you.
