What program do you need the font for?  Different programs use different
kinds of fonts.  There are IIGS fonts, which can be used with Appleworks+
Timeout, and there are Print Shop fonts, and hi-res bit map fonts, and
Applesoft shape table fonts, and probably a number of others I've forgotten
to mention.

Aside from IIGS fonts, the only //e-compatible kana font I know of for sure
is a hi-res bitmap katakana font that was on the "DOS Toolkit" disk way back
in the Olden Days.  The fonts from that disk were copied by a number of
other programs...the most recent place I've seen it was on Beagle Bros'
"Beagle Graphics" disk (a double-hires paint program--I believe it's now
one of the "Beagle Oldies").

Which is the correct suffix for GSCii and BINSCII files? I've seen both
myFile.bsc and yourFile.bsq used in the past...bsc makes more sense (sounds
more like "binscii") but bsq seems popular as well (on FTP sites or
whatever. Though I think ftp.apple uses bsc).

Anyone have an answer, or is this just a personal-preference thing?

This problem was recently brought up in the "Apple Clinic" section of the
August 1992 Incider/A+.  (page 17)  I quote the response:

"According to the tech-support folks at Zip Technologies, the error message
is normal. It seems that when the engineers at Apple Computer wrote the
GS' internal-diagnostics code, they didn't predict the use of an accelerator
system such as the Zip Chip or AE's TransWarp board....."

So, check and see if this computer has an accelerator card.  If so, remove
the card and replace the original CPU chip and re-run the diagnostic.
According to Incider, this should solve the problem.  If you don't have an
accelerator, well ..... then in this case the error code is probably legit.

Good Luck,

You should buy it now.  Nothing anyone can send you will come close to the
information you require from the official references.  (Remind me to post
my classic Matt vs. Dave example of "prescriptive" vs. "descriptive"
someday if it's not clear why you need the Apple manuals.)

I just called Resource Central and asked -- if you order something and ask
it to be shipped regular surface mail, _they_ pay for shipping.  It might
take a week or so extra to get there, but it won't cost you anything more.
Toolbox Reference 3 is a thick book -- airmail shipping of it would cost
US$37.41.  I'd go for surface mail if I were you.

I would certainly be willing to contribute to such an endeavor.  If enough

Hey, Apple PR guys, if there were X number of Woz LEs, how about printing up 
X number of that certificate, and offering them to people who still have the
Wozs? It would do a lot to lift Apple's esteem in the minds and hearts of
every Woz owner, as well as in the overall IIgs community. You guys built a
fine computer there. Don't be ashamed to be proud of it, and please give some
thought to honoring the Woz owners with a certificate. Someday we will want
Macs, but right now we still are learning and growing at comfortable speeds
with our Woz LEs.

Hi!

I'm trying to change the font used by the Menu Manager in a system menu bar.
The problem I'm running into is that once I change the font, FixMenuBar doesn't
seem to know about the size of the font and so all the menu items and titles
have th tops cut off.

Question: how do I tell the menu manager that the new font is taller and wider
than what it's used to and have it adjust itself to those new parameters? or do
I have to create a custom menu definition just to change the font?

Thanks for any info. Please send your response to my email address since I am
not here as frequently as I'd like to be!

It seems this 'Finder needs xxxK' message is more common than I

Teach or my own TextEdit-based editor.  It is always a once-off.  If I
choose to 'Return' to the previous application, I end up in the System

    This is a limit of the Teach format.  There is some upper limit on
the length of a single Teach file (either 64K or 128K...)  TeachReader
probably stores the file internally in Teach format (and thus the limit).
If you just want to view files, get the File Manager NDA.  The view
function lets you search for text and page through multiple files.

	Call your local Digital sales office and order a copy of the VT220
Programmers Guide/Reference Manual.  Also contact ANSI and order a copy of the
standard (You will need to know the number, I don't have it offhand)

I have received these errors.  It was only when I was telnetting to another
host and tried sz from there.  If I logged in directly to that host sz worked
fine.  So, it had something to do with telnet (either dropping bits or
control bytes).  This tells me that somewhere, your connection is getting
hosed, and is probably neither sz's nor rz's fault.
