     Does anyone know if QT 1.5 is compatible with 7.0.1?  I have had some
trouble with startup when the QT init is in the extensions folder, it may be
that I just have an incompatible init or two, but for some reason I am
thinking that QT 1.5 is for Sys 7.0 or 7.1.  True?  Thanks...Peter Haber.

better yet - how about a 3-position switch:  Off (Ignore all calls), Query (Interupt user and ask if we want to accept call), and Just Do It (where softwaretakes control and receives the fax)

Try and get a copy of a program called TeX - it's shareware and there's an
option to append files together on it - really spiffy.

Hmmm, all I have to say are two things:

1) I never trusted/liked Sculley and it looks like I dont have to
start now. (somethign he said about only being run by stockholders
sounds like a cop out excuse to me) As someone mentioned in that post,
the CEO DOES have power to "shape" the direction of the company. Besides,
I bet the shareholders with Macs arent smart enough to know what an Apple
II is to say to Sculley to drop it.

2) My next machine WILL be a 486, or if I am lucky, a Sun. I will
never purchase a Mac and any recommendations I make to friends will
have a definite bias towards PC's. This is based not only in my anger
at what Apple Co did to the II, but in a firm belief that PC's ARE
better than Macs.

Interesting. I'm not sure that I would agree that this has generated a 
response from the esteemed high office of His Highness Lord Sculley, but 
it looks like that there are a few people within Macintosh, Inc. that 
aren't too happy about it. :-)

Now comes the very interesting part. Will Apple really be dumb enough to 
start legal action against members of thier own user community? If so, how 
would the trade press (not Apple II or just Mac publications, general 
industry publications) respond if they were to find out? (And just how 
would they find out? hmm... :)

I'm waiting to see the post of Apple's response to see what's coming...

        I am co-chairman of the "PTF Education Committee" (PTF is
Parent-Teacher-Fellowship) for a private, non-profit, Christian elementary/
middle school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We have two known-to-be-working Apples
and one IBM PC. We also have an Apple that I have not looked at yet. The
school's name is Isaac Newton Christian Academy. Money is tight, and
the roof needs repair, so usually fund raising tends to be directed towards
things other than computers. :-(

        We are, right now, working on establishing a "Computer Lab", and have
been talking about soliciting donations.

	We ask that if you have ANY Apple, Atari ST, Amiga or MS-DOS
hardware/ software items, partial systems, or complete systems, you
would SERIOUSLY consider donating these to our school. Even if it is an
item that needs repair, we'd be happy to accept it IF we know the
repair costs involved before it is
shipped to us.

	Even though we will appreciate any donation, here are some specific
	things we are looking for at this time:

		o  EGA graphics card/monitor for an IBM XT
		o  WordPerfect 4.2 for an IBM PC
		o  Educational software for an IBM PC
		o  Additional IBM PC's
		o  Anything to max out an Apple II+
		o  Color monitor for an Apple II+
		o  Educational software for an Apple II+, IIe or //c
		o  Amiga 500 Systems
		o  Atari ST Systems

	REMEMBER... this is a BONA FIDE non-profit organization!

    So this means the StyleWriter driver assumes a resolution of 80 dpi
when rendering images?  Wouldn't this make a 72-point font only 0.9 inches
tall on paper?  72 * 4.5 = 324; 324/360 = 0.9"...  Not terribly accurate...

    Having gone through the previous posts in this thread, it seems (to me
anyway) that surpassing the 255-point limit without breaking the system
software is feasible if you have something like Pointless which will
generate such fonts.  I've had trouble making really big fonts in Pointless
2.0, but the system software doesn't seem to mind > 255-pixel fonts.  I'd
like to know what Alan Bird thinks of all this...

This sounds to me *very* much like a hardware problem.  I don't know of any
changes to the system software from 5.0.4 to 6.0 that would cause this kind
of problem, or any change from 6.0 to 6.0.1-in-progress that would solve
them.

Two suggestions:

  --Contact your hard drive manufacturer to see if other users are
    having similar problems & whether they have any suggestions

  --If you're so inclined, revert to 5.0.4 temporarily and see if the
    problems *really* go away

--> NEW !! -- WOW !! <--

--> HIGH SPEED DMA PERFORMANCE AVAILABLE FOR *ANY* VULCAN HARD DRIVE <--

///SHH Systeme is proud to announce:

  The Turbo IDE Card is now fully compatible with _all_ Vulcan drives,
even with the oldest Vulcan IDE hard drive you can think of. Yes, we can
even tell you that the Turbo IDE Card is more compatible with IDE drives
than the original Vulcan controller. 

  What does it mean? Now any Vulcan user can upgrade his slowpoke hard
drive system with the ultimate high speed DMA controller!! He can get
support for true interleave 1:1 speed. RAMfast speed without throwing away
his system and buying SCSI!

(Have you ever seen your 20 MB Vulcan runnning under GS/OS as
 fast as 500 KBytes per second, 1.0 msec per block? We have!).

  The Turbo IDE Card now comes with a low-level formatter to setup your
hard drive for interleave 1:1 or whatever you want. This is especially
useful when working with the older Vulcan drives which usually needed an
interleave of 7:1 to 5:1 in their original configuration. Even the Turbo
IDE Card formatter runs _much_ faster than the orignal interleaver of the
Vulcan utilities.

Why hesitate? Get the speed you need for your Vulcan hard drive. We can
give you the speed for true interleave 1:1. --> Turbo IDE Card. <--

December Special now available.

I'll follow that up. The dealers round here are not very helpful
unless you are interested in a Mackintosh

 No...The (long) post appeared in the A2RT on GEnie about 2-3 weeks ago.
 There's was some flames about some editoralizing, a few of the Apple
 Computer employees shared their perceptions, and basically ended with
 "no great surprise about the info".  End of story...
 
 It would seem more contructive to be proactive vs reactive in view of
 the developments (which we really knew was going to happen).

Hiya,
	Is there a version of that binscii and shrinkit for the vax/vms?  It
would be much better to be able to unbinscii a prog first, before transfering
it... Alternatively, is the source code for it portable?  Budding programmer,
etc etc, maybe try my hands on it... :)
	Thanx for any info.  Ciao.
