The man said he had a PowerBook 170 in his original post. I wish
people would read more carefully before they respond.

I am having slightly different problems, and they occur both on my Mac
II at home and at my PowerBook 170 in the office. Word always took
about half a minute or so to start up, but since I upgraded to System
7.1, MacTCP 1.1.1 and AutoDoubler 2.0 it takes more than twice as
long.

Fetch is another application that suddenly takes two or three times as
long to start up. ResEdit exhibits the same kind of problem.

Since I upgraded all three pieces of software at the same time, I
don't know which (if any) is to blame. Also, at home I don't run
MacTCP, but Word and ResEdit still take forever and then some to start
up.

Has anybody else noticed this?

Fullwrite Professional 1.5 will support this type of printing along with some 
other unique modes such as printing double up, doulbe sided pages so you can 
make 5.5 x 8.5" books with left right page numbering etc. just by center 
stapleing and folding the pages in half. However, it does this by modifiying 
the LaserWriter dialog box, and wouldn't help you to print from other 
programs. You may even be able to still find this program at a good discount, 
it faded from view a bit after Borland bought Ashton-Tate.

(I took a look through the FAQ list and didn't see this addressed.)

Where can I get system 6.0.8L (I think the L is correct)?  I read
something about it in MacWeek, and to the best of my recollection, yer'
honor:  This version was supposedly available in Canada but not in the
US, and could be used on the PB 100.  I poked around a bit on
FTP.Apple.Com with no success.  We have a utility that won't run under
sys 7, but will under 6 and I'd like to try 6.0.8L on a PB100.

If responding is a waste of bandwidth (if this issue has been covered

1) Thanks everyone for responding to my question re: free system

2) Only one response as to whether I should upgrade to 7.0 He said do it
One person (oops that makes two) did say it would slow me down. I dont
like being slowed down

3) The discussion re: pricing on system software and apple's lack of
support is beginning to sound like the olden days when Apple II programmers
were grumbling about lack of apple support. Look where the II is now.
Maybe Apple is following an IBM example.

4) I HATE what I've had to go through to find out about system software.
I am angry at the way I was treated by this apple dealer. What if I
knew nothing about this bulletin board?

P.S. Should I upgrade. I've got some pretty old software. Will it be
compatible. How MUCH will 7.0 slow me down? Is it worth it?

Hi everyone,
	    Sorry to be such an ignoramus. I have both Adobe (bitmap and
PostScript) and Apple (bitmap and TrueType) versions of certain basic
fonts such as Times and Helvetica. I've actually found that I prefer the
bitmapped 10 and 12 point Adobe fonts to the Apple equivalents, but the
problem is not there. I know that if there's a TrueType and a PostScript
version of the same font, System 7 will use the TrueType version. I guess
I'm thinking of removing the TrueType versions entirely. What I don't
understand is the multiplication of fonts in the Adobe family of
bitmapped fonts. Until I acquired some Adobe fonts, I never saw such
things as "B Times Bold," "BI Times Italic" and "BI Times BoldItalic," at
least not in the bitmapped format. If I chose a word in Times and type
command-I in Word 5 to make it italic, it remains "Times." I can also
convert it to "BI Times Italic" which manifestly is not the same thing to
the system. My question is this: if the basic Times font includes italic,
bold, and bold italic, do I need the above mentioned variants? "B Times
Bold" seems bolder than making something bold in Times.  Are these minute
differences only for DTP people? Is there any reason for me to hang keep
the TrueType version of Times in my Fonts folder? 
	      Please reply to me directly so that this doesn't seem too
embarrassing.
	      Yours truly,
	       Marc Bizer (mlbizer@bongo.cc.utexas.edu)

P.S. Has anyone else noticed that TrueType fonts do seem to draw on the
screen more quickly than PostScipt fonts under both ATM 2.0.3 and 3.0.

	   Standard Nisus (3.05) does *not* handle Arabic. Like many word
processors (MS Word), it will display the Arabic, but does not allow
editing the text once typed. E.g. a full sentence is considered a single
word, and the cursor does not know where it is, mixing up left-to-right and
right-to-left directions. There is, however, a special version, Nisus
International, that does accept non-European scripts and adds some features
to handle them. It costs about $450, no rebates (and is copy protected with
a dongle).
	   Another option is WinText of France, a simpler and slower (and less
expensive) multi-script word processor. There are also some older ones like
AllScript (sold under the labels of RavK'tav (Hebrew) and Nousous
(Arabic)). Same price level as WinText, rather less features.
	   WordPerfect, MacWrite, MS Word, WriteNow are all non-Arabic compatible
with the same sort of symptoms as described. Evidently, the problems for
each script is different (The problems with Arabic is basically its
left/right direction change), so a program that works with Japanese may not
work with Arabic and vice versa.

FWB has announced a new CD-ROM product. In its first release, it will
only support 1 ROM, so it rather limits the usefullness of a 6-disc
drive. FWB@AppleLink.Aplle.COM

Trantor has a driver that is suppose to work. It can be purchased from
Phetheans 800/362-3766 for $59 I think.

Optical Access International has a driver, but it crashes on Quadras.
800/433-5133

Casablanca Works (Drive7) wants to support the DRM-600 (and the 4x
successor), but they have not been able to find a contact at Pioneer
that will work with them.

Reply-To: sek@rigel.cc.bellcore.com (Spencer Kantor)

Date: Thu, 12 Nov 92 14:05:54 GMT


Is there any way to force a file to launch a particular copy of an
application if there are copies of that application on more than one
mounted volume?

For example, if I have a copy of Word on my internal hard drive as 
well as a copy on an external drive (or netowrk volume) and I double-
click on a Word document the copy of Word on my internal hard drive will
load.  This happens regardless of which copy of Word was used to create
the file.  I suppose this is due to the Mac searching the internal hard
drive first to see if an application matching the creator type can be found. 
If so, that's the copy of the application that's loaded and no other volumes
are searched.

What I want is to control which copy of an application will be launched if
multiple copies exist.  Is there any way I can modify the search routine
so an external or network volume is searched first.  

Yes, removing the copy of the application on the internal hard drive will
force this but that's not an option in this case.  And yes, I can alias
the copy of the application on the external or network volume and place 
the alias in the Apple Menu Items and/or Startup Items folders but that
doesn't handle the situation when a file created with that application is
clicked and the application is not already loaded.  That's the situation I
want to be able to control which copy of an application is loaded.

Thanks for any help/suggestions offered.

I've been having that problem with my IIsi for a year and a half, under systems

Many others have reported the same thing.  No explanation is forthcoming from

Malaysia is to blame.

Please e-mail a report to Liam Breck (breck@ganzer.ecs.umass.edu.

While that "feature" was "in" Suitcase II 1.2.x, I could never get it
to work correctly.

Suitcase 2.x.x (currently 2.1.2) has implemented the feature in a
working fashion now.  It isn't a terribly expensive upgrade (only 
about $25) and worth the money.
