Remember, you must power off the IW prior to flipping the switch (nasty
things can happen otherwise)  You must use a "straight thru" cable from the
box to the printer (two reasons, two printer cables in line will not work,
and if you ever have to disconnect and hook up the IW directly to the GS or
the PC, you simply remove the other cables/box from the circuit...

Switchboxes and cables are available from CompUSA for about 19.50 for the
two mac to IW configuration, which consists of a box, two straight thru
cables, and one printer cable.... all you need to buy extra is the PC to iw
cable.... about 14 bucks most places....

Subject: Need IIgs app. to unpack Mac archives WITH resource forks
Organization: Ord High School, Ord, NE
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 1992 20:22:08 GMT

I have a friend who has a Mac LC II who needs some help.  He needs the
Mac equivalent of BinSCII, called BinHex.  Unfortunately, even with the
varied Mac archive formats, I cannot seem to get a program to an
HFS volume in a form that the Mac will recognize as other than a
"document".  Due to problems I don't want to get into yet again, I must
download as text files only, and I only have uuencode and compress
available.

I need a program which can extract .hqx files directly to an HFS volume,
keeping them as Mac files (with a Mac resource fork) so they can be
executed on the Mac.  (I am running on a IIgs with System 6 with the
HFS.FST installed.)

Yes, this message heavily focuses on the Mac platform, but I am looking
for a IIgs application to do this, and no-one in comp.sys.mac.misc was
able to help.  Apparently a Mac doesn't have an equivalent file to an
EXEC file.

#1: I agree. I have over 100 TT fonts available... Making bitmap fonts out of
all these could turn into a REAL headache!

#2:  I have several fonts that are things like "Times/Roman Italics Bold."
The problem I run into is that it makes a bitmap called Times.Roman.xx or
something like that, saving over the STANDARD times/roman.  This is a problem
if you use the program (Don't know the name offhand!) that shows the fonts
in the FONT menu as they will be printed.  The reason is that it has to keep
generating fonts for these off the wall ones, KILLING my memory card!  I
unfortunately don't have 4 meg yet, and 1.75 just isn't enough!  Any one know
a kludge to get around this?

#3:  To: Apple II System Software!
     Is there any way that system 6.1 or greater could have support for true
     type fonts built in?  This would be a HUGE boon to those of us that want
     lots of varied fonts for DTP and the like!

PS: Anyone want to go with me on getting bulk Qram cards for the GS?  I've

    /-\ctually, there _is_ a roundabout way you can set things up to
 get the same effect as this.  Follow these steps:
 
    1) Create a "dummy" text file with little or nothing in it.
       (NDA text editors are great for this.)  Save it as "Copy.II.Plus"
       somewhere.
 
    2) Load your Copy II Plus icon into an icon editor and make a copy
       of it.  Edit the icon "attributes" of that copy.  Set the file
       type to $04 (ASCII Text file), set the file name to "Copy.II.Plus"
       and set the Application path to /HARD1/APPS/UTIL.SYSTEM.  Now
       save that icon.
     _
    |_
    |rom this point on, whenever you double click on that text file
 called "Copy.II.Plus," Finder will launch UTIL.SYSTEM for you!  You
 can put the text file anywhere you want -- it doesn't even have to
 be on the same drive.
    ___
     |his simple form of aliasing can be quite useful, but it's also
 very limited due to the amount of work required to set one up.  Also,
 certain applications will actually load that "dummy" text file when
 you've double clicked on it, and present it to you when you get to
 the application.

This is due to a bug in the GSCII+ extraction routine: it writes too
much data to the output file, rounding the file up to the nearest 48
byte boundary.  The same bug is in SSCII (ORCA shell utility) by the
same author (Derek Taubert).

The original BINSCII program (ProDOS-8 SYS file) extracts the archive
correctly.  Use this if you have it.

Actually, I don't see a read/write DOS 3.3 FST as being anything more
than marginally useful.  DOS 3.3 is yucky and obsolete.  I can't imagine
there are very many people that even think about writing to DOS 3.3 disks
from GS/OS except to say "wouldn't it be neat if..."  I can imagine that
someone at Apple decided it was more worthwhile to have people working on
things that are of benefit to some significant percentage of the IIGS user
commuunity, such as it is, than to work on a read/write FST that would be
little more than a nifty toy.

Actually, I've got a question about how FSTs work.  Say I copy a regular Mac
file, a Word document, for example, to a my ProDOS hard disk.  GS/OS sees
the file as type $00 (I think) on the Mac disk, and gives it that filetype
on my hard disk.  If I then copy the file back to the Mac disk, has it lost
its Macintosh file type, as well as its Finder flags and its creator signature?

My ZModem transfers have been acceptable but not spectacular -- as long as
I was _not_ communicating with someone else using ProTERM.  Sending to my
friend's ProTERM setup, I get the same symptoms described in the previous
posts, including ZRPOS errors and retries of huge amounts of data.  The
default init string for the SupraModem 2400 Plus (my modem) forces DCD to
always be high, and also forces DTR to be ignored.  I may try removing the
&C from the init. string and see if allowing DCD will help.

inCider/A+.  All it said was, TurboREZ was awesome, but not compatible with
QuickDraw II.

How about now?  Someone please post more info about it.

Hi folks!

Subject dependent: I wrote such a 'family tree' program for the GS.
                   It offers most of the above described features.
                   But it is written for the GUI and is GS/OS
                   compatible. The number of records depends on the
                   amount of RAM available, it can print and so on...
Subject INdependent: I'd like to upload it on cba2 so I shrunk it with
                     ShrinkIt 1.06 and binsciid it with BinSCII.
                     There's one point I need help. BinSCII asks for
                     lf -> UNIX or
                     cr -> Apple.
              >>>>>> Now what? BTW I ftp'd BinSCII, mailed it to a Mac,
                     saved it on a HFS disk, carried it home, tried to
                     ECEC it, got SYNTAX ERRORS, replaced all lf by cr,
                     EXECed it again and it works! Whew :-)

Thanks for any help!
