Right-on!  There's a couple of folks who seem to find fault with just about
everything that RightBrain does.  What's wrong with a little surprise fun in an
app?  If you don't agree with the price, don't buy it.

And Jeff's recent complaint about sexist ads seems pretty weak also.  I really
don't find a woman with a green right eye and brown left eye holding a French
horn in Chromagrafx' PixelMaster ad in NeXTWORLD to be a particularly sexist
ad.  Maybe Chromagrafx was just demonstrating how PixelMaster could change eye
colorings :-)

This is documented somewhere in the Mathematica Bible (what isn't?) but
you could easily miss it.  I frequently have notebooks with variables like
amatrix, bmatrix, etc. (it's less a matter of enjoyment than one of giving
clear variable names) and get tired of the messages as well.  Put the following
at the top of your notebook 

Off[General::spell]
Off[General::spell1]

and the messages will vanish.  Another good trick is to bring up the style
inspector and make the cell which you put the above commands into an 
initialization cell, then it will be automatically executed when you open 
the notebook (well, you have to set that option in Preferences) and you'll
never see the messages.

Hope this is helpful -- Tom

As  promised  in an earlier post, today I called Total Systems 
Software to check on the status of the long-overdue DFax software, 
which is supposed to provide Send/Receive capabilities for NeXTs using
Supra v32 and v32bis data/Fax modems (as well as support features like 
"silent answer" and eventually voicemail).  

I got the famous "emily@tss.com" on the line, and after identifying 
myself and my mission she said, "Well, don't drop dead or anything..."
("Uh oh, here it comes," I thought, "they've gone belly up") "we're 
shipping."  

"You're what?"

"We're shipping.  The discs are here and when I leave this afternoon 
I'll be dropping a load off to go out. We expect to have all of the 
original orders out in the next 3 days." 

After all this time it was more than I could handle in a single sitting.
I asked her repeatedly if she was sure and she said up, down and sideways 
that she was (I then had her recheck my address and phone # just so some-
other poltergeist can't get in the way).  So..... I'm going to be camping
by the old mailbox for the next few days.  Will post a review of the soft-
ware once it arrives, by Emily says it does everything that was promised, 
(which means it's dynamite!) and all of the testers thus far have loved it.

Can it be that sometimes things do work out?

Hope this cheers up a few people out there  ---- tom

I asked this a while ago, but havn't see any answer:

How can I get NewsGrazer to save a ruler setting (tabs, margins, etc) and use  
that same ruler as a default for all articles?  I have no problem setting up  
the ruler and using it during a single session of reading news, but if I quit  
and restart NewsGrazer, I have to set up the ruler all over again.  While this  
may not be a problem of great significance, it just keeps on being somewhat  
annoying.  Any ideas?

Hello!

I am looking for informations about soft- and hardware for the
production of a CD with my NeXT. Because I'm Flamencogitarrist
I need to record acoustic guitar, voice and handclapping. So the
Midi-stuff is not very interessting for me.
As far as I know, I need a lot of space on my harddisk (about 1 GB),
a stereo A/D converter like Sony PCM 501, ProPort 656, Irkem Board,  
HolsteinA/D and a Streamer to save the songs.
The sofware should have minimal 16 to 2 tracks and effects should be
included (I heard that Metrosoft is bringing a new one (Metrotracks)
out) but I got no more informations.
I have very small ideas about getting out a mastertape (I think I need
another converting thing to get the song as normal industrial CD format
on a DAT player).
If you got any information about this or other stuff for the professional  
producing of CD's or any systems you have developed I would be very glad  
to here about them (also prices would be very interesting (inclusive  
shipping) cause here abroad everything is very expensive.
I wish you a happy new year from Berlin

Jess,

We've implemented the McGill X package over here on our Mono Nextstations.
I've been able to generate Xwindows on other Xclient machines.  However,
not all the software I use runs clean - Xv being one example.  I can't 
tell you a lot more, since I use another machine for my primary Xwindows
environment, however I can recommend the McGill X distribution as one 
which works for me for basic things.   Stop on over if you wanna take
a look, or FTP it from your favorite site.

Scheme is available from altdorf.ai.mit.edu.   Schematik is a front-end to  
MIT
Scheme for NeXTs;  it comes complete with MIT Scheme, so that installing  
it is in
fact also the simplest way to install MIT Scheme.  
 
 It is available from ftp.gac.edu and ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de  
(European users).

There is also a commercial Scheme implementation that supposedly conforms

I corresponded with the original poster, and this was indeed the problem.
This comes up often enough that I have a couple of little utilities I like to 
use, and I post there here for anyone who is interested:

First, to remove the control-M line endings

Save the following to a file called "undos", set the executable bit on it, 
and put it in you path, either /usr/local/bin or your personal Apps folder
is best

#!/bin/csh
if (-f /tmp/undos.foo) then
rm -f /tmp/undos.foo
endif
tr -d '\015' < $1  >/tmp/undos.foo
rm $1
mv /tmp/undos.foo $1

this will then allow you to type 
"undos name_of_file" in a shell and hte ^M's will be gone. (see man tr to 
understand how it works).

You can make something similar to take out the ^Z's which often cause troubles
as EOF markers.

Hope this is Helpful --- Tom

PS:  I also have a "todos" script, but (1) I almost never need it and 
(2) I honestly have forgotten how it works.  If you need it write me and
I'll take the time to remember what I did way back when.

Once again you must run across the monster's head.  Try this.

run right to the base of the short step latter that the moster will land  
beside.  The monster will (we hope go the other way)  When the monster  
approaches you, move left and climb the ladder.  From the top of the  
ladder run across the monsters head.  Sounds like fun hey.

Great game -- I know of no way to finish level seven without cheating.  If  
you want to cheat I will tell you how.

That depends on what application is active - it has to accept the grabbed

If you use Stuart and keep a window miniaturized, the shading on
the window icon will change when the contents of that window
change.  Hence, make all your login windows writeable by only
you (do a 'mesg n' in them) and keep one miniaturized (do a 'mesg
y' in that one).  Just to make sure talk requests don't go to the
console, you might want to do a 'chmod og-w /dev/console'.

Uhhhh..... I might not be the smartest person is the world (might?  I *know*
I'm not) but your solution only makes me want to re-ask the question. All of
the Grab services are turned on in my preferences (as a check, I turned them
off, checked them, turned then on again, checked them,etc.) and no 
matter what I do they're still greyed out (if I turn them all off then
the Grab entry under Services vanishes).  Can *you* get them to blacken?
i.e. become active.  Can anyone?  or is Grab just "services impaired"?
