Fetch does require KSP or MacTCP. KSP is an INTERNAL communications
extension that is required on the AppleTalk network at Dartmouth College
and its related sites. MacTCP is a commercial Apple product that many
sites have a site license for, your mileage may vary. Your local support
staff (if you have one?) should be able to tell you if MacTCP is available
at your site or can be used at all.

Comp.sys.mac.misc is an OK place to start if you are unsure of the proper
comp.sys.mac.* group to use. In this case comp.sys.mac.comm would have
been OK as well. 

In the case of Fetch (like many other freeware/shareware apps) there is
also an email address to send to.

According to System Error Table 3.1, an error 25 is a dsMemFullErr - out

Perhaps you should try increasing the amount of memory that the program

Ive seen a demo at my school of some picture of a wooden pencil (the yellow
kind) that was on some kind of wet surface... nice picture... and it came
out pretty good... Its dithered pretty badly, but all in all, good for the
cheap price... NOT just color bars....

Jeannie,

May I suggest looking into an Apple StyleWriter, an inkjet printer?

While not as high a resolution as a LaserWriter, they do print very
solid and black. The HP inkjets are very good quality, but I shy away
from non-Apple printers just because I want assurance that I'll always
have current print drivers, and because they all support both text and
graphics.

There are also a number of _lower_ priced non-postscript "personal"
laser printers on the market. Apple has one, as well as GCC and others.
Be absolutely sure if you go non-Apple that you understand whether or
not the printer supports graphics (if you want graphics ability). Some
will ONLY do text output, and not true WYSIWYG (what you see (on the 
screen) is what you get).

    Hopefully never.  It's abominations like this that make people refuse to 
take non-sexist language seriously.  It is possible to write 
non-sexist English without making up words noone understands or using 
ear-grating phrases like "mail person."   Normally the easiest away 
around the difficulty is to use the plural (and non-sexist) pronouns.  Check 
out "The HandBook of Non-Sexist Writing" for some sensible approaches that 
don't destroy the English language.  I believe one of the authors is Kate 
Millet, but I don't have it in front of me.

Organization: Canada Remote Systems

Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1993 13:20:12 GMT

Has anybody managed to get mcvert running correctly under SCO Xenix?  It
compiles okay if you #define NOBYTEORDER and also #define NOBZEROCOPY in
mactypes.h, but then doesn't work correctly to binhex/unbinhex files (it
returns errors about writing too many bytes like this:


Input file     test.cpt.hqx               
Converting     test.cpt                       type = "PACT", author = "CPCT"

	Modified Sun Jan 24 08:12:07 1993
hqx_to_bin_fork: writing 170 too many bytes

last perror (may not be relevant): Error 0
mcvert: exiting


And the resulting file is  considered to be "Damaged or in a format that this
version of Compact Pro does not recognize."  And when I try to binhex the
Macbinary file, I get this:


Input file     test.bin                   
Converting     test.cpt                       type = "PACT", author = "CPCT"

	Modified Sun Jan 24 08:12:07 1993
fread failed on binfile

last perror (may not be relevant): Error 0
mcvert: exiting


It would be nice if I could get mcvert running on my unix account so I could
reduce the size of the .hqx files before I try to donwload them, but so far
I've not met with what I would call overwhelming success.

Anybody have any suggestions?  Oh-- I'm using mcvert 1.89, I believe.  At any
rate, it's the one most-recently posted to sumex.

I work on setting up the computers for a small grade

Encyclopedia. They don't need a particularly fast
or fancy drive, so I'm leaning toward a NEC 74 
because its so cheap.

I'm wondering about encyclopedias that come on CDs.

   Are there good/bad ones?
   Is the Toolbox (or Toolworks) one any good?
   Can you print articles from these CDs?
   Are there monitor requirements? (Color, 13 inch?)
   
I'd appreciate any info or guidance in this area.

Thanks in advance.

Files created with newer versions of Stuffit Deluxe and Stuffit

obtain a copy of Stuffit Extractor which is freeware, and can

This is the purpose of one of my posts over on comp.sys.mac: Unchecking
the "Warn before emptying" dialog will NOT stop the countdown dialog from
appearing! Doesn't Apple think that if you don't want the one dialog, you
don't want the other?

The option-key when trashing does work; there are a few products, such as
CopyDoubler and SpeedyFinder7 (I think) that will bypass both dialogs.

I just bought version 1.0 of the American Heritage, which includes
Roget's Thesaurus II.  It defines 116,000 words, and it's OK for the
MacConnection price of $55.  WordStar (800-227-5609) will upgrade to
the "professional" or "college" (same thing) edition for $49.95 plus
shipping.  Weirdly, WordStar's subsidiary, The Writing Tools Group
(800-843-2204) will do the same upgrade for $39.95 plus shipping.  You
figure it out.  The small one needs 3MB disk space.  The big one needs
11.5MB after installation, but an extra 2MB or so during installation
for temp files (in other words, about 14MB free for install, 11.5MB to
live in).

MAJOR CAVEAT: I got bitten by this.  Version 1.0 (the small one
defining 116,000 words) insists that its database files be found in
the System Folder *of the boot volume* and NOWHERE ELSE.  I'm booting
my PowerBook from a RAM disk, and thus cannot use the dictionary.
This filepath problem with the desk accessory (which is what you use
to access the dictionary) is fixed in the big version.

it's not overloaded... from what I can tell, it's a problem with 
sendmail and not with the mail server itself.  I don't have access
to the machine the mac.archive mail server is run on, so I'm going
to try to recompile a new version on my local Unix box and run it from

Look around for "Okey Dokey". It does exactly what you want it to do.

We have a folder that we put in the trash but it won't
go away!!

We have Sys 7.1 on a IIci and the system puts up a dialog
that says that the folder contains an item that is still
in use!!  When we trashed the folder, its contents were
successfully deleted (I haven't figured out how to look
for invisible files so there may be some of those!?).

Oh, this may be very important: The folder was designated
for file sharing.  The application folder was for the 
program "Statistica/Mac"

Any ideas anyone?
