Subject: [*] bio_ess HC stack

Dear Moderators

Included is the result of my first attempt at creating an
HyperCard stack (HC version 2.1). It aims at demonstrating simple
computer simulations in the field of evolutionary biology. The
concept of evolutionarily stable strategies (or ESS) is introduced
with a few simple examples, the results can be presented in a
graph. It could help teachers at universities to introduce game
theory and its applications to students who are no computer or
maths wizards.
This file includes a binhexed  Compact Pro archive
with a text file (TeachText) and the stack itself.

Calculator II v1.08
Copyright 1992 Joe Cicinelli

This version of the calculator fixes some display problems with
floating point values, some problems with the use of the clear key,
and now correctly supports Virtual Memory and AppleEvents under
System 7.

I wrote this calculator as an application to be run either under
MultiFinder under system 6.x or system 7 or later.  The calculator
has a pleasant color face on color machines, but it still capable of
being run on a B/W machine.  Unlike Apple's standard calculator, this
calculator has a number of features such as a built-in memory,
Balloon Help or a Help menu under system 6.x, trigonometry functions,
and makes extensive use of the Extended keyboard.  The best part of
all is it FREEware, so give it a try!

Subject: [*] Carpetbag 1.3

Carpetbag is a shareware ($5) control panel extension that makes
resources such as fonts, sounds, FKEYs, and keyboard layouts
available to your programs without installing the resources in
the System file.  You specify certain folders, and Carpetbag
opens all resource files therein at boot time.  It works under
System 6, but is smarter about keeping track of folders
under System 7.  It should even be able to use a folder on a remote
Appleshare volume.

This file is in StuffIt 3.0 format.  It can be decompressed with StuffIt
Expander (freeware) or anything in the StuffIt 3.0 family.

Since 1.2.3: Ability to open and close files without restarting, subject to
certain restrictions and warnings.

Here is a Software tool to design and build HELP files. These can be
made into a stand alone "HELP" application. Also - for developers -
the files can be activated from your own application with a proper
"Engine", thus creating a help system for the application (not
included here).

As I could not find this demo on FTP sites, I got it by Snail mail.

Here is the BINHEXed auto-extracting contents of this diskette,
checked for viruses with SAM and DISINFECTANT 2.9 .

This is a DEMO APPLICATION, so I guess it belongs to the /demo directory

All I know about this kit is from the info in this demo kit. So please
forward questions to the vendor.

Here's a demo of Diamonds 2.0 containing four out of the thirty levels in
the full package.  Diamonds now has slate-grey buttons (if you care for
that sort of thing) and the ability to use any PICT as the backdrop (but
you could have hacked that with ResEdit!).  This version finally offers
support for 512x384 monitors but I'm not sure if it will support Classic-

Subject: [*] dmm-lw-56-stuff-13.hqx

DMM LW 5/6 Stuff version 1.3 is a FREEWARE supplement to the DMM LW 7.x Stuff
package tailored to users of older System 6 LaserWriter drivers.  The included
goodies and documentation explain how to get the most out of these older
LaserWriter drivers and allow you to incorporate many of the features that
DMM LW 7.x Stuff makes available to System 7 LaserWriter driver users:

    - Non-conflicting drivers that work in harmony with other versions of the
      LaserWriter driver--eliminating the dreaded "Printer Reset" wars of
      incompatible driver versions.

    - Generation of safe, portable, and embeddable PostScript code that is
      suitable for printing without modification even on non-Apple printers.
      Throw away that outdated macps!

    - The ability to build Serial LaserWriter drivers which talk
    asynchronously
      through the Modem or Printer Serial Port rather than using AppleTalk.

    - N-up thumbnail printing support built right into the driver.

    - A PostScript file checkbox right in the Print dialog.

New at version 1.3:

    - Serial port driver variants are now really functional by enabling flow
      control and allowing baud rates other than 9600 to be specified.

    - Various bug fixes, particularly for using driver variants with old
      LaserWriter printers and for embedding Mac-generated PostScript code
      in other applications.

DMM LW 5/6 Stuff is distributed as a Compact Pro self-extracting archive.
Uncompressed, it requires 222 KB of disk space.  Don't forget to pick up the
DMM LW 7.x Stuff package as well!

Subject: [*] dmm-lw-7-stuff-13.hqx

DMM LW 7.x Stuff version 1.3 is a FREEWARE package of goodies and
documentation
that explains how the System 7 LaserWriter driver works and what you can do to
overcome some of its more annoying anomalies.  It includes the ability to:

    - Build LaserWriter 7.x variants which do not conflict with other Laser-
      Writer drivers, ending forever those annoying "LaserWriter Reset Wars".

    - Build Serial LaserWriter drivers which talk asynchronously through the
      Modem or Printer Serial Port rather than using AppleTalk.

    - Generate safe, portable, and embeddable PostScript code that is suitable
      for printing without modification even on non-Apple printers.

    - Incorporate N-up thumbnail printing support built right into the
    driver.

    - Incorporate Adobe's error handler dictionary right into the driver to
      eliminate the "I sent it to the printer but nothing came out" syndrome.

    - Understand certain aspects of how the LaserWriter driver operates and
      modify its behavior to suit your needs with the detailed documentation.

New at version 1.3:

    - Support for LaserWriter 7.1.2 shipping with System 7.1.

    - Serial port driver variants are now really functional by enabling flow
      control and allowing baud rates other than 9600 to be specified.

    - Various bug fixes, particularly for using driver variants with old
      LaserWriter printers and for embedding Mac-generated PostScript code
      in other applications.

As a whole, DMM LW 7.x Stuff resolves various grievances leveled against the
Macintosh System 7 LaserWriter driver:

    - Why can't the LaserWriter 7.x driver coexist peacefully with earlier
      LaserWriter drivers so I don't have to play printer reset wars all the
      time?

    - While the LaserWriter 7.x driver conveniently lets me generate
      PostScript files, how come they're so darn huge?

    - Why don't these PostScript files ever seem to print when sent to any
      PostScript printer other than an Apple printer connected to a Mac?

    - What can I do to prevent the driver from including the Mac dictionary?

    - What can I do to prevent the driver from including the TrueType engine?

    - What can I do to prevent the driver from including TrueType font
      definitions (e.g., for printer-resident PostScript fonts)?

    - What can I do to prevent the driver from including PostScript font
      definitions (e.g., for printer-resident PostScript fonts when using the
      Adobe Type Manager)?

    - Is there a way to reduce multiple document pages onto a single sheet of
      paper like I've seen on Unix systems?

    - Can the driver be modified to print via the modem or printer serial port
      without requiring AppleTalk, so I can easily print when networked via
      EtherTalk?

DMM LW 7.x Stuff is distributed as a Compact Pro self-extracting archive.
Uncompressed, it requires 1.2 MB of disk space.  A supplemental package of
goodies for older System 6 LaserWriter driver users (DMM LW 5/6 Stuff) is also
available separately.

DoubleScroll 1.1.2
An ISYS Development Corporation Product

This shareware ($7.00) control panel adds bi-directional

you change window colors with the Color control panel.

You can turn off DoubleScroll for incompatible applications.

When you listen to our political, military, and academic leaders,
do you say to yourself, "Golly, I wish I sounded that important"?

If the parameters of your response reaction were positive and
affirmative, you'll want this upgrade of "Hypergobbledygook,"
the HyperCard Random Jargon Generator.

Press a button and presto-change-o, quick as a prioritized revenue
enhancement, out comes a phrase ready to use in a journal article,
office memo, or collateral damage report. Billions of combinations
are possible -- you'll never see the same gobbledygook twice.

In keeping with the spirit of the election season, I've striven
to keep the changes cosmetic and superficial -- tighter code,
custom dialog boxes, and some utterly arbitrary color and sound.

Subject: [*] LaserUser v2.5

This is a posting of LaserUser version 2.5.  It is a utility
that "asks" for a user name after every print dialog box.  The
name that is entered in the dialog box then replaces the "Owner
Name" in the flie sharing setup control panel for system 7; for
system 6 it replaces the "Chooser Name".  LaserUser will also
allow you to limit people to printing only one copy per
print job.

It was written by Philip Brandenberger and is free for
non-commercial use.  It is supposedly compatible with
all Mac II's, SE, SE/30, and Plus.  It should also work
on the Classic, Classic II, LC and LC II, but has not been
tested on those machines.

It was compressed using Compact Pro and contains a user
manual in Word format.

One small note, when I tried using it users had some problems
with MacDraw II v1.1.  For awhile, some objects would dissapear.
They would only reappear when I removed LaserUser.  I am going
to send a note to the author about this.

It trains you against a 6 deck "shoe" common in most casinos.

It provides on-line help, statistics and hints.

A basic introduction to card counting is presented.

You have the option to order the DELUXE version, which offers a plethora of
additional features.  Some of these include:
	- peeking at the dealer's "down" card
	- the next card to be dealt,
	- or even the whole "shoe."

A complete table listing the statistically best play in every possible
hand is included with the deluxe version, as well as a comprehensive
look at the "Plus-Minus" card counting system.

It also has excellent graphics.

Subject: [*] printer-maze.ps

This unusual submission is for those mac users near postscript printers.

After I put my after-dark maze screensaver on the archives there were many
requests for a way of producing maze hardcopies.  If you have a postscript
printer, this is a cool way of doing it.  Just send this postscript file to
your printer, and it will randomly generate a maze and print it out.  You

having trouble getting mazes out of the file, use the program SendPS, in

If you fiddle with the options at the top of the file, you can get multi-page

Space - The Control Panel

When I originaly wrote space, a lot of people sent me mail saying
that they liked it, but the pre-defined activation keys I used
conflicted with other operations on their system. This version,
via. the control panel, let's you custom set these keys.

For those of you who dont know, (probibly most :) ) Space is a
handly little utility which gives you critical statistics on
all online volumes at the press of a key, and the click of
a mouse anywhere, anytime.

Just hold down your preset keys and press the mouse, and a handy
window pops up showing you the space used, space free, total space
and percent usage for all volumes on your system. Release the
mouse button, and it disapears! (Like magic, yea... :) )

Yes, space is System 7.0 Compatable. If you like it, drop me a line!

You can use one of the ready-made ones, or create your own with
its handy built-in editor.

Version 1.2 adds some new functionality to the control panel, and fixes
some cosmetic flaws which occurred in 4 color mode.  Thanks to Lloyd Wood
for his helpful suggestions.  I also added another new image, which was
sent to me by Bob Andris. (Send more! :)

Note, versions later than 1.1 changed the format used to store your images
slightly, so you should use the "Import" option to ensure that any images
you created in version 1.0 will be displayed properly.  The Import option
will automatically detect older images and convert them to the new format.

Zipple works with any Macintosh running any version of System 6 or 7.

I have placed a new movie on ftp.apple.com in my /pub/pugh/quicktime

last executed murderer which he misquoted on his way to the gas chamber.
I just happened to be watching Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey again while
sitting at my Mac and digitized it for posterity.  It is the Grim Reaper
saying, "You might be a King or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later
you dance with the Reaper."

This is a good one for those of you without much diskspace as it is only
357K.  It is stored in MacBinary format and must be retrieved accordingly.

I plan on adding more MacBinary files, since I have a large collection of
scans, particularly in the 832x624 size (I've got a 16" monitor) at 32 bits
with QuickTime compression.  These don't compact or stuff well, so just
uploading them in MacBinary is about the smallest I can do, plus it's the
easiest.  I already spend too much time playing with the net as it is.

The question I wonder is, how many people can shrink a 16" picture to 13"?
I don't think it's that many.  I don't really want to be deluged with requests
to shrink them and I _really_ don't want to shrink them all.  They're better
at this size, IMHO. ;)  I'm serious, I have _a lot_ of these scans, and
Mark said he wouldn't get upset until I took up more than 100M on
ftp.apple.com
so I'm going for it.  ;)  Maybe someone with some extra time could write a
free PICT scaling program.  I'd love to be able to post one with my scans.

Subject: Apple inviting OS competition?

In info-mac #239 Ted Weverka suggests that Apple is intentionally charging for
System 7.1 upgrades to invite competition from other software designers,
notably MicroSoft...

>It is clear to me that the charge for system 7.1 is a similar
attempt by Apple and we can expect Microsoft to announce a
Macintosh operating system soon.

I would have to disagree very strongly.  A parallel is drawn between Apple's
change in policy years ago by not bundling MacWrite and MacPaint (not MacDraw)
in order to encourage third party developers.  The difference here is, Apple
will continue to bundle System software with new machines (how could it
not?!).
It will only charge for System 7.1 *upgrades*.  Very different...And the cost
of the upgrades will be nominal (for disk only copies) from all indications
that have been seen thus far.

Secondly, the idea that Apple would want other developers to create another
OS for their baby is insane.  Apple has worked far too hard to keep control of
the OS and the nature of the machine to let someone else come in and try to
replace it.  Moreover, if MicroSoft was able to come out with a Windows for
the
Macintosh (a terrifying, if not horribly silly idea)...well, who in the WORLD
would choose to buy a more expensive Mac, and then Mac Windows, rather than
do Windows on the cheaper IBM clones?  And who, once given the opportunity to
try a Windows vs. Mac OS would choose Windows, given both ran on the same
machine, anyway?

I can't think of any reason in the world that Apple would want to encourage
third party OS development, let alone why any developer would choose to take
the task on.

Greetings From Nacogdoches--

I am planning to set up a new AppleShare 3.0.1-based server and need a bit
of advice--
I have a choice of two hardware platforms: an SE/30 with 16mRAM or an LCII
with 5m original RAM (more can be added, I suppose).  A few CD drives and
an external 240m HD will be hanging off the server.

I'm leaning towards the SE/30 because of its large amt of RAM, and it's B/W
built in monitor.  I'm assuming that the video portion of the SE/30 would
take up less resources that the color video of the LCII.

Which CPU would you choose--and why ?

Does anyone have any experience and/or ARA scripts for using AppleTalk Remote

familiar with this setup, we do have specific DID numbers assigned to the TAUs
using ARA.

The really frustrating thing is that I had it working with the 2400bps modems
that were originally in the modem bank using the straight Smartmodem 2400 ARA
script, and they were a mismash of various types.  The 9600bps modems are all
Ventel.  I don't see why this won't work from the dial-in while it seems to

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I recently posted my experience regarding a dead mouse. There was one

micro switch inside the mouse. I also received some private responses. The
gist of these may be of interest to all.

If the cursor still moves on the screen but the clicker doesn't click,
failure of the micro switch is a likely cause. It is (as one respondent has
demonstrated) possible to replace the switch for a small cost. It is necessary
to be capable of soldering in small places to do this. There may also be a
problem tracking down the appropriate switch. You might find one at Radio
Shack.

Some Mac Mice are covered by an extended warranty running into 1993. These can
be identified by serial number. The dealer has assured me that I had neither
the right (wrong?) mouse nor the right problem. It would be worth looking into
this if you have a problem. (I did not find out exactly what is covered.)

    From: ed@titipu.resun.com (Edward Reid)
    Subject: Fat Files (C)
    Moving the space from one partition is a big
    hassle, because you need to make TWO backups (for safety), reformat the
    disk, and reload.  So you probably move some files instead of moving the
    space.

Actually, with Silver Lining, at least, moving the space
isn't nearly so hard as that.  You don't need to reload.
Just make sure your backups are current, defragment, and
then adjust the partition sizes.  And then wait; it takes
time to move all that data.

    So in the general case,
    partitioning can cost you either space or time.  Or both.

But let me emphasize, that while it's not as expensive as
you portray, it does indead cost you space, time, or both.
    If your
    files are of random lengths, you will waste about half an allocation block
    for each, on the average.

This assumes an equal distribution, which is not a good
assumption at all!  In fact, in every circumstance I've
ever seen in real life, there is a strong skew toward
lots of smaller files, and fewer large files.  This
means that your space savings is likely to be larger than
your estimate would yield.

The larger the allocation blocks, the more likely it is
that this skew will be substantial.

      maxwaste   = #forks * allocblksize

      wasteguess = maxwaste / 2

On the other hand, this fails to take into account the
waste you'll have after you resize.

I'd suggest:

 oldmaxwaste   = #forks * oldallocblksize
 newmaxwaste   = #forks * newallocblksize
 wasteguess = (oldmaxwaste/1.5)-(newmaxwaste/2)

The 1.5 instead of 2 is a fudge factor to allow for the
skew.  If most of your space is taken up by huge image
files, it should be 2.  However, I find you end up with
an amazingly large number of tiny files.  Lots of applications
come with vast numbers of tiny files.  At 8K per, these
tiny files can quickly eat up a disk.

This 16-bit nonsense is one more example of Apple's old
lack of foresight, in the days when hard disks were 20Megs.
32 bit addresses in a filesystem structure isn't going to make a
noticable difference in filesystem size!

One issue you didn't mention is that if the allocation block
size is smaller, then large files can be more thourougly
fragmented, which can hurt performance.  To the extent that
it's feasible, you can help prevent fragmentation by keeping
large files in a large partition, and small ones in a
small partition.

Ideally, the allocation block size should be purely a performace/
space tradeoff, rather than forced by 16-bit fields in the filesystem.
Oh well, maybe in the next OS.

Subject: Fat Files (C)

In issue 239, ed@titipu.resun.com (Edward Reid) gave us a very nice
explanation of issues related to partitioning and volume allocations.
However, he mentioned that the wasted space is roughly equal to:

  #forks = #applications + #plaintextfiles + 2 * #otherdocs

and then said, "Now I don't know of an easy way to make this count."

I do, and it will require a shameless plug for one of my programs, ShowSizes.

ShowSizes II (available on ftp.apple.com in /pub/pugh/showsizes.cpt.hqx)
displays the sizes of folders in the form of a bar graph on the folders
themselves, with text for precision.  You can set the display to be the actual
size of the folder, its percentage of its parent folder, its wasted space (the
calculation mentioned above), the percentage of total wasted space or a couple
of other similar views.

I added the wasted displays after getting a 600MB drive a couple of years ago
and going through this same experience when I realized that my minimum
allocation block was 9K.

fan before and had no idea where it could be gotten from.  I pleaded
with the HDI rep on the phone, she consulted with her supervisor, and
they graciously condescended to sell me a fan for $10 as a special
favor.  It came quickly, and worked; but now it's beginning to get
noisy again.  Generally speaking, the smaller the fan, the noisier,
so you pay a price for compactness.  I wish someone would market a
more reliable and quieter fan for these drives.

By the way, the other problem that was deleted from the Digest
version of my note was that the PowerDrive uses internal SCSI
accessible only through a tiny whole in the case that makes it
impossible for my normal-sized human fingers to reach in and grab
them.
Otherwise I like the disk fine.  It's a great bargain.

Subject: Long delete times with Netware and System 7

Our setup is a mixture of Macs and PCs on an ethernet network, running Netware
for Mac version 2.0 and System 7 on the Macs. The problem is that deleting
files from the network discs causes the Mac to twiddle its cursor for about
four or five minutes, before putting up a message to say that it "couldn't
create the wastebasket (trash) so is it okay to delete straight away?" The
delay is extremely annoying, as one might imagine. Will upgrading to Netware 3
help? This is planned, finances permitting. Or is there anything else I should
try? Under System 6 there was no problem, of course, but the new behaviour is
getting to be a right pain.

Subject: NCSA Telnet 2.5 problems in a Quadra 900

Hello net,
	We received a Quadra 900 about 2 months ago, and it was the first
member of the Apple family we have dealed with.  Our "Appleculture" was
resumed in some MacUsers, MacWorlds and generic gossips.
	As the machine came with no software but System 7 we started looking
in the Academic networks for software and information, and we successfully
installed Disinfectant and BYU NCSA Telnet 2.5.  Everything worked fine until
last week, when all of a sudden NCSA stopped working.  The message was  "could
not find drive E".  Everything came to mind, from hardware bugs till virus.
But neither Disinfectant nor Gatekeeper gave any sign of virus.
	Making experiments we found that the problem repeated consistently
when the tune up version 7 was installed: if you remove it from the Extensions
folder and restart the Quadra, it works.
	The questions are:
1. Why NCSA worked so nice for weeks and then it began to be disturbed by
the tune up?
2. We did have a dead Mac experience before the NCSA problem, but
reinstallation
of the system produced an apparently sane machine.  Could it be that such an
incident would produce this latter misfunctioning? (The crash of the system
has
no explanation till now, it just happened).
	Any help is very much appreciated. You may as well answer directly
to me and  I'll sumarize to the netters.
	Thanks

Even though all the salient details leaks well in advance, there still

before hand.  If you've got a cooperative dealer, you might arrange for
your order to get fax'd in first thing on the day of announcement, but

Subject: Now Utilities 4  - Nisus conflict (A)

In Digest #238, Graeme Forbes reports two conflicts with NowMenus 4.0.
He writes:

> Here are two (more) ways in which NU4 may conflict with your system.
> If you use Nisus, NowMenus breaks the Page Break command. There is no
>                                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^
> workaround, other than going back to NM from NU3.
 ^^^^^^^^^^^

Here is a (temporary) workaround for the conflict.

# In Nisus, select the menu  'Tools:EditTools:ASCIITable'
# (or, press "command-option-AS" or something, if you've assigned the key).
#
# Click on the line  "0C 012".   The line becomes selected.
#
# Command-C (Copy).
#
# Go back to your document window, and Command-V (Paste).  The ASCII 0C
# character is inserted, which is interpreted as the 'Page Break' character
# by Nisus.   You're done.

Although Nisus' 'Format:InsertPageBreak' menu item is dead, if NowMenus 4.0
is running, the direct insertion of the ASCII 0C character is not
affected   (at least on my machine).


The second conflict, with PopChar...  This sounds bad, too, but you can
always use some DA ASCII insertion utility, which are not affected by NOW
Utils.   I'd recommend Jon Wind's 'ASCII Chart 4.0 DA', but any others
would do.   (If pressing Control key saves PopChar, that's fine, too.)
(In Nisus, you can use the Nisus' 'ASCIITable' window, of course.)

Another NowMenus trouble, reported by some other person, which disables
typing of _any_ accented "a" character...  This is also worked around,
by use of 'ASCII Chart DA', or such.


Of course, they are just temporary workarounds.   NOW should fix these
troubles, as soon as possible (as well as Super Boomerang 4.0's inablilty
of keeping 'Permanent' files/folders in the menu)!

Subject: Powerbook 100  Screen problem.

I noticed on my new Powerbook 100 that the windows appear to have slight
"shadows" under them.  At first I thought that maybe, somehow, some images
got burned in, but then I realized that when i moved the windows, their
shadows moved with them.

It is difficult to describe the shadows.  They are like faint shading
differences.  For example, in a normal window, for about 2 inches under
the window name the screen is slightly lighter then the screen under the
rest of the menu bar.  This problem becomes less noticable (or even
invisible) when I make the screen brighter, but then the screen seems a
bit washed out (too light).

Has anyone had this problem?  Is there a cure?

Subject: Synchronizing Mac Names

I help run a student lab at the Kennedy School of Government.  This lab has
about 42 PC's and 3, soon to be 5, Macs all connected to a Novell Netware 3.11
server via ethernet.  All works well except for our system for charging
students for printing.  We have set up a system where the print server
discerns from the information passed to it the name of the student sending the
print job.  It then records the number of pages printed and later we add it
all up and term bill the charges.  (Virtually all of this is done in
software.)
For PC's this system works fine.  We had some trouble getting the name passed
to the printer and the name used when the person logged in to be the same, but
that has been resolved.  Unfortunately, the Macs present a bigger problem.
(I will confine my description now to System 7 since that is what we are
using.)
On the Mac, the name that you use to log in to the server (the name that you
enter using the AppleShare chooser item) is not the same as the name that is
sent to the printer when you print from the computer.  The printing name seems
to be the owner name of the Macintosh that is in the Sharing Setup desk acces-
sory.  Does anyone know of a way to ensure that these are always the same?
I know that ChooserUser will allow you to ensure that they are the same at
boot time, but I need for them to always be the same.  I thought of writing
a small application to do this, but I can't figure out how to get at the owner
name.  It seems to be in the Users and Groups Perference file, but I don't
know how to pull it out since that is all data.  Any ideas on how this might
be written if there are no ready made solutions?  How do others ensure that
a user is who she or he says she or he is?

Well my favorites are:
- BeHierarchic 1.0.5 , it makes folders in your Apple menu hierarchichal
		       this lts you get at control panels directly
		       you can also add an App and DA folder with aliases
		       to the actual apps etc.
-DFaultD 2.22, it remembers the last used folders for quick access in your
	       Standard File dialogs
	       it also provides a popup of all mounted volumes
	       you can create new folders from any app
	       the best feature is that you can create sets which have
	       permanent folders for each app
-Extension Manager 1.7, INIT picker for System 7
			it works by moving items to a disabled folder
			instead of changing their type
			it also lets you create set for differrent purposes
-DarkSide 3.2, a freeware screensaver app which has lots of faders
	       it doesn't patch any traps and is very stable

Handy little drag and drop apps:
-DeHQX 2.0, just drop downloaded multisegment HQX files on it and presto
	    you don't have to edit out headers etc.
-StuffIt Expander 1.0.1, handles StuffIt, Compactor and I believe AppleLink
-FileTyper 3.2, will change the type of file or whole folders
		lets you create custom ones that will always change to your
		favorite type

worth a try, so I ordered a copy and will post my impressions of the pre-
release when I get it.  Disclaimer - I have no affiliation with (I forget the
company name) that publishes Tax Cut, I'm just a pre-user.

Thanks for everyone's help. Graf-term is a VERY basic VT100/TEK4014
emulator. It's very old (1986), but works on my IIsi w/ Sys 7.0.1.
Exorbitant shareware fee of $50 for what you get, if they are still
collecting.

NCSA-Telnet 2.5 (/info-mac/comm) has VT100/200/TEK4014/4105 emulation,
it's freeware (at least, I did not see any shareware notices),
and has ethernet, MacTCP, and serial port (modem) capability. There
is an excellent manual at ftp.nsca.uiuc.edu in /Mac/Telnet.

This is the first time I've asked for help over the network, and am
really pleased with the response. I'm glad all this fooling around
turned out to be worth a lot.

Subject: Telecom on 128K Mac (reply)

Last time I checked (back when I set up somebody's Mac 512), the 0.834
version of MacKermit will run on 128K Macs. Or so they claimed.

ftp watsun.cc.columbia.edu
login anonymous
cd kermit/b
get ckm834.hqx
get ckmkey.hqx
get ckmvt1.hqx

I think those are the relevant files. ckmkey is the keymap-customizing
application for MacKermit.

I use a CI with an external HD.  It uses 7.0.1 with the tuner installed.
I needed to use the external drive  to transfer files to a mac classic
running 6.0.7.  while it was attached to the classic, I put some files
in the trash, but didn't empty the trash.  When I reattached it to the CI,
the trash would not empty.  Does anyone know what is going on.  It gives
me the error message -171.

I'm interested in getting hold of a PostScript emulator to use with a
Mac LC/Stylewriter combination.

Can anyone tell me the difference between TScript (the basic one) and
Freedom of Press Lite? At the moment, all I can see is that one is 10
pounds cheaper than the other...

Subject: Uncompress .Z on a Mac & Mac->IBM graphics

Two questions for the NetWorld

	1. I am working on converting many HyperCard stacks over to a DOS
ToolBook format using ConvertIT. I must say I am satisfied with the
performance
of ConvertIT so far. The scripts definitly need to be fixed a little, but most
of it translates and it will comment the scripts it doesn't understand. Some
of
the graphics however never make the translation over. So, how do I translate a
graphic Mac file over to the DOS machine? I thought of GIF first but Toolbook
will not import GIF format. It will however recognize:
		1. Bitmap
		2. Device Independent Bitmap
		3. Windows Metafile
		4. Computer Graphics Metafile
		5. Encapsulated Postscript
		6. Micrograpfx DRAW
		7. TIFF Graphics

	I tried using the "export graphic..." menu command in HyperCard.
Opening the image in Image Studio. Saving it as Encapsulated Postscript,
translating it over using Apple File exchange in the no-translation mode and
opening it in ToolBook, but I got an error stating there was no graphic in the
file. I must be missing something. Any ideas?

	2. I was interested in getting into the Mac programmers digest at
ftp.cs.uoregon.edu but all of the files are .Z type. I know I can uncompress
them on the unix side, but I use Fetch, and I like using Fetch, which means
the
files end up on my Mac and I have know way to uncompress them. Or do I? Does
anyone out there know of a program that will uncompress .Z files on the Mac
side?

Thanks
Troy

Subject: upgrade problem

i have recently had by mac classic 2/40 upgraded to 4 Mb ( 2 x 1Mb SIMMS )
 since the upgrade i have found a problem - the machine has a habit of
restarting at inopportune moments - no system error is given, just
a couple of seconds lock-up then beep and welcome to macintosh.....

i am running system 6.0.7, and the only difference in software is that
i am now using multifinder instead of finder. the problem usually occurs
when i am using Word 5, and when i have just finished typing in large
amounts of important text (sod's law)

has anyone else had this problem ? is it most likely to be the new SIMMS,
 and if so is there a pd program available to check memory

i have also had a friend run norton - disk doctor says there are problems
with the volume buit

bitmap, but these can be fixed - i don't know if these problems are
related - but speed disk says there are no bad blocks

the hard disk seems to be making more noise than is did, but this may
be my paranoia setting in !

btw i did take my machine to a registered apple dealer - this is not the
upgrade equivalent of a back street abortion !

can you please reply directly to me, i dont always have time to check
the info-mac digest,

thanks in advance

Subject: Upgrading an *Old* Mac

 Someone I know has just inherited a 512K Fat Mac.  I don't know if it's
 a 512e, with HFS ROMs, or just an upgraded 128K mac.  I would like to
 investigate his options for upgrading to a Plus.

  1.  How do I determine if this mac has HFS ROMS? (The disk is 800k.  Does
 that tell me?)

  2.  What is the cheapest upgrade path to a Mac Plus-class machine?

 On a related note, he wants to be able to print letter-quality documents.
 He inherited an Imagewriter I with the Mac, but that printer is inadequate
 for his needs.  What printer shall I recommend?  He is interested only in
 text printing.

 Thanks.

I find it very hard, but not impossible to believe that Microsoft would get
into
the Mac OS Market.  Really, what does Microsoft have to gain with Apple
packaging
7.1 with new Macs and NO 3rd party hardware out there.  If you have any proof
of
this thoery I would love to hear about it.  I am not trying to shot down your
theory though because anyone who has been around the Macintosh as long as I
have
knows that anything can and will happen.

Interested in hearing more from anyone!!

Subject: NCSA problems in a Quadra 900
From: Rosa Perez (rmvperez@fox.cce.usp.br or rmvperez@bruspvm.bitnet)

Hello net,
	We received a Quadra 900 about 2 months ago, and it was the first
member of the Apple family we have dealed with.  Our "Appleculture" was
resumed in some MacUsers, MacWorlds and generic gossips.
	As the machine came with no software but System 7 we started looking
in the Academic networks for software and information, and we successfully
installed Disinfectant and BYU NCSA Telnet 2.5.  Everything worked fine until
last week, when all of a sudden NCSA stopped working.  The message was  "could
not find drive E".  Everything came to mind, from hardware bugs till virus.
But neither Disinfectant nor Gatekeeper gave any sign of virus.
	Making experiments we found that the problem repeated consistently
when the tune up version 7 was installed: if you remove it from the Extensions
folder and restart the Quadra, it works.
	The questions are:
1. Why NCSA worked so nice for weeks and then it began to be disturbed by
the tune up?
2. We did have a dead Mac experience before the NCSA problem, but
reinstallation
of the system produced an apparently sane machine.  Could it be that such an
incident would produce this latter misfunctioning? (The crash of the system
has
no explanation till now, it just happened).
	Any help is very much appreciated. You may as well answer directly
to me and  I'll sumarize to the netters.
	Thanks

Pararena Demo 2.0 Read Me

This is a demo version of Pararena 2.0 available from
Casady & Greene, Inc.  It consists of two parts: the
Pararena Demo 2.0 application and a Para Sounds file
(optional).  The sounds file contains extraneous and
incidental sounds (like, "Ladies and Gentlemen....").
Pararena 2.0 runs in color, b&w, all Macs from the
Macintosh 512KE on up to the Quadras, Powerbooks, etc.
It supports System 7 and System 6 (specifically 6.02 and
more recent).

To play, simply double-click on the Pararena icon.  (If
you wish to get the extra sounds, the Para Sounds file
needs to be in the same folder as Pararena 2.0.)  When
Pararena comes up with the splash screen, select New Game
>From the File menu (or command-N).  If you are new to
Pararena and would like some assistance, see Pararena's
online help (with System 6 you'll find the Help menu
under Options, with System 7 you'll find the Help menu
under the Balloon Help icon on the right-hand end of the
menu bar, a shortcut with an extended keyboard is to hit
the Help key on your keyboard).

Casady & Greene can be reached at (408) 484-9228 (during
typical business hours and days) for ordering
information.  I think Pararena 2.0 is running about $60
retail.  If you wait for the warehouses (like Mac Zone)
to pick Pararena 2.0 up, it ought to run about $34 or
something like that.

Enjoy!

[For those of you familiar with Para 1.2, this version
support full screen color, and network play against a
variety of opponents.]
