It say's it's a document because it is.  Mac files can not be transfered over
data lines because of the two diffrent forks(data and resource).  You must
encode them into text in order to transfer them.  This is almost always done
by hqxing a file (hexidecimal encoding).  You need to decode the file, that
will restore it to a ses file. Binhqx was made for this, but compactor pro,
stuffit and any compression tool that's any good will do this.  My favorite
is dehqx because ti does 'batch' dehqxing.

If you've already done this *thwap* to me for assuming and *thwap* to you
for not being more spceific.

CPU shows you percent charge left and estimated time left. The manual
says CPU is smart and as it learns your battery's power curve, gets
better at this time estimate. It also distinguishes between when your
PB is plugged in and charging and when it's just plugged in.

It'll save you battery life as well because you can tell it to turn
down the screen brightness after x amount of time, as well as resting,
spinning down the drive, and sleeping.

CPU has a spin down hot key, and a preference to NOT spin down the hard
disk when you restart, but that's all in this regard. It also has a
spin up cursor so you know why your PB suddenly stopped doing stuff.

CPU has tons of other features (menu and dialog selection via keyboard,
graphic or password security, LCD screen saver, the ability to create
different sets of all these features for different environments (home,
office, work, travel, etc.)) and I've been quite happy with it. It's
enabled me to chuck several other sys extensions and given me some
capabilities I didn't have. There are at least two other competing PB
utility packages that offer other features but CPU's advantage was that
it's shipping now.

Hope it helps.

I had the same problem a while ago but I had to unplug the monitor

   I had problems with AliasMaker in that it didn't create a correct alias
file. I think it's resources were bad or something - I forget. Hopefully,
they've released a bug fix for this.
   Personally, I just assigned a keystroke to the Make Alias menu item.
It's just as easy. It's not like I create SO many aliases on a daily basis
that I need an app to do it for me.

 Many kind folks have replied via e-mail, telling me to put aliases of the

 should have been more clear initially.

 What I want is a way to set startup of the currently RUNNING applications and

I must be showing my age, but one of Microsoft's early products was a

CP/M (remember that). It was a big hit in its time (pre IBM PC).

The subject says it all (almost).  Is there any way to send a ^C
over the PowerBook 170's internal modem?  It seems that the modem
always wants to interpret it as a "break" character.  I can recover
by typing "ato", but it's annoying and, more importantly, it doesn't
send the ^C down the line.  Since I use the modem to log in to
UNIX systems, sending a ^C can be quite useful (as an interrupt,
for emacs, etc.).  Is there any way to reconfigure or disable this
part of the modem's operation?  It doesn't seem that "at y" will
work.

 Hi
 
 I've got a SW with a refilled cartridge (I use Sheaffer Skrip Jet Black with
 about 10% of isoprophyl alcohol). Since I use the refilled cartridge, the
 print quality seems to degrade from top to bottom of the page. I've tried
 printing 50 times the same line and I could clearly see that the top lines look
 much better than the bottom ones. The top of the page is "laser quality", but
 at the bottom, letters are unclear, sometimes with little spots on their edges.
 I've never experienced this before refilling the cartridge.
 
 Any ideas what the problem could be ?

The above is true only if the fonts (bitmap and TrueType) are
both installed in the System *File* (at least if one is using
the TrueType init with Sys 6.0.8).  If a util such as
MasterJuggler is used to install the fonts, the TrueType init

The simplest way to change the order of inits is to rename them --
INITs are loaded in alphabetical order, under System 7, this is
complicated by the multiple folders and each folder is sorted
seperately.

The best way however is to get a startup manager like Extensions
Manager (shareware) or Startup Manager (in Now Utilities).
