If you can get a hold of one of the old Macintosh Developer CDs, you might
want to look at the Satelite Image Workshop program. It comes with a number
of satelite pictures (raw data) and does all sorts of image enhancing on it.
You'll need at least a Mac II with co-processor; a 256 color display and a
large harddisk. The program doesn't run under system 7.x.ATE1 V1

Because DarkSide is an application rather than an extension, it has
very few conflicts.

DarkSide 3.1 is in beta right now and does include a randomizer.

Subject: CANVAS 3.0: object manager question
Date: 13 Apr 92 07:16:56 GMT
Organization: Telecom Paris

I recently tested CANVAS 3.0. It seems to be a quite
powerful and flexible CAD application. But I have
a question on the Object Manager my dealer couldn't 
answer :

The CANVAS Object Manager has some tools that can be
loaded, i.e. a star-tool, a parallel-lines-tool etc.
What I need is a tool to CREATE this tools, since I 
need to draw lots of similar objects with different
parameters (so the macros don't work). There should
be something easy-to-handle, it would really improve
the usability of the program.

Another question: has anybody experienced unprecise
drawing in CANVAS 3.0? Lines that are matching on 
screen don't match on the printer, or I even had
problems to have horizontal/vertical lines on screen,
i.e. with the measurement-arrows.

Thanks for any reply, mailed or posted

Terry:  I bought Smart Alarms and Appointment Calendar last summer and have
already trashed them.  If you're a technoturnip who doesn't want anything other
than programmed alarms for your mac with a free-form "note pad" for your
appointments andnotes, fine.  But I couldn't get anything done with it.

I bought DayMaker a couple of months ago and it is working better.  It's
version 1, so I hope version 2 contains some major upgrades.  It works
muchbetter than Smart Alarms did, but lacks ability to schedule regular or
repeating items.  Also, you'll put about 5,000 miles on your mouse in making up
your daily schedule.  

The bright side is that it's a good base to start from and v2 should include
many of the improvements that have been suggested.  Whenever it comes out...

I had the same problem, only I copied from Unix directly to a Mac via
AppleShare. This did not work! I'm in a position where I can download
the files directly to the Mac from the unix machine via FTP. It seems
that the Unix system somehow corrupts the macBinary files. Maybe you can
try this: 1. You could binhex the files on unix (using mcvert for
instance) and then download them as a ascii file and unbinhex them on
your mac. Or 2. You could try and run binhex 5.0 (MacBinary) on the .bin
file on your Mac. (this didn't really work with, but then again, maybe
i'm wrong).

Do not forget DiskDoubler archives, they are also emerging.  While I do
not yet unpack SD 3.0 archives (never have seen one), I do most DD archives
routinely.  But I think it is better to press the people involved to make
methods to decompress their archives public.  I think this is to the
benefit of all.  First for the user, when he sends a file he has not to
worry whether the other end can decompress it properly (and mind: the
other end need not be a Mac user).  But also for the companies that sell
their archivers.  People are more likely to buy one when they have not to
worry about such things.  It is also beneficial for those people that
maintain fileservers for Mac's.  It is a much less trouble when they
can unpack archives on their server (which need not be a Mac).

I called Claris this week to check on versions of software, and see how

may vary.  And wasn't it our new-ex-moderator of Info-Mac who said you

Oliver:

If you are using Master scripts, there is a known problem in 
that Retrospect will not Shut Down Remotes. There are really 
two work-arounds right now: 1) Re-work your scripts so that you 
are not using a Master script. Then your remotes will shut down 
fine. 2) create a separate "Shut Down" script which does not 
back up anything which scans each Remote and then shuts it down. 
Schedule this outside of the Master script to run just after 
the Master script and all your Remotes will be shut down. We 
will be fixing this in the next version. Sorry for the trouble 
you've had trying to work this out. 

Secondly, regarding a complete backup of all files from your server, 
this probably has to do with what we call the "AppleShare Time Translation" 
which occurs twice a year when we change our clocks for Daylight 
and Standard Times. AppleShare performs a time translation for 
all over the network access of your server's files. When the 
time different between a workstation clock and the server clock 
crosses a boundary, the server translates all the create and 
modify dates of all files to a new time zone. To Retrospect this 
looks like all the files have changed. I suggest that you back 
up your server either through the Remote or by mounting it, but 
not by doing it both ways. If you back it up using the Remote, 
you'll never have this time translation problem. With AppleShare 
2.0.x we recommended that you not use a Remote on a server. With 
Appleshare 3.0 there are no problems - you actually should install 
a Remote on the server. It would tend to give you slightly faster 
backups and it would not ever suffer from this time translation 
that is built in to all AppleShare. 

Our e-mail address is: "dantz.tech@applelink.apple.com" . If 
that does not work for you, you may reach us at "dantz@igc.org"

About "disk eating":
Size depends on how many groups you read and how long your server
keeps the articles. Shouldn't grow for ever, but is usual 1M - 3M.
I'm going (in 1.2, but most is done in 1.1) for sharing 90% of
the data among several people. So the size should not be a problem
for most people in the future. I can't reduce the space needed.
As Peter Cohon wrote, Nuntius needs theese files to be speedy
when updating groups. Otherwise it will have to start from scratch.
The type and names of the folders are different in 1.0 and 1.1a2,
the latter has the .newsrc separated from the database to make it
able to share the files.

I have to drop development on it for 1-2-3 months, but I will come
back and get 1.1 final.

Hi !

  just thought I would try to turn people's attention from all this praise
of Microsoft !  ;-)
  I installed the upgrade from version 11.12 to 11.13 of White Knight last
night, and have since had to return to using version 11.12 !  The new
version would NOT work in the background very well - and in fact made
using any application impossible !
  With White Knight 11.13 downloading a file in CKermit, I switched to
the Finder and attempted to copy some files to a floppy. The ONLY way the
Finder would continue to copy was if I kept clicking on the Copy dialogue
box everytime the drive stopped writing.  Next, I tried to decompress a
file using StuffIT - the same thing.  I had to keep clicking on the
progress indicator to keep things going. I have since tried this with any
other tasks, and the new White Knight just does not want to "share"
processor time without continuous mouse reminders ! I re-installed the
Finder and System and the White Knight - to no avail !
  Anyone else seen these problems ? I get the same thing even with
extensions turned off. I am using an 8 meg IIcx with Sys 7 and Tuner 1.1.
  Any help appreciated !  (and no, 32-bit was NOT turned on)

Two solutions I found.
1. You should be able to ftp from your Unix machine back to your Mac.
Send the files in a binary form. It works, if you have defined the appropriate 
username and password.
2. Much better: get Fetch from Sumex, and you bypass the Unix level and
download direct to your Mac. It even unpacks files (binhex and other Mac-
packing systems. It uses ftp, you define your Unix box as host.
Once you have your pc-files (transported in binary form) on your Mac,
you can just drag them to a PC disk if you have a superdrive and Access-PC.
This works smooth, quick and reliable.

Public Folder does work with system 7. The most common mistake people make it to place their public folder on the desktop & expect it to work like before. Under system 7 anything thats placed on the desktop is actually moved into a folder called the "Desktop Folder".

Solutions:

1)	Select public folder in the chooser and click on the customize button.
	A dialog box will come up, insert :Desktop Folder at the beginning of the
 	path name.

2)	Move your folder called public from the desktop & place it in the Hard
	Disk's window like other folders.


After that, reboot & everything should work fine.
