Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 1992 13:32:44 GMT

   This is probably a really silly question, but I picked up some files off
   an archive with the extension .jpg. My question is, is there some way I can
   get Quicktime to recognize and uncompress these images. So far the only 
   way I have been able to view them is by converting them to a gif using
   the utility imagery, but you lose information doing this ( from 24-bit down
   to 8-bit ).... Any ideas, all you Quicktime gurus!?!?     

	Any help would be appreciated...

I have problems generating at postscript-file form MacWrite II that is printable
on an imagen printer (unix).

I've tried using prepfix and macps but it won't help. One thing about prepfix is
that one is instructed to hold down command-K in the print-menu when genrating 
the laserprep-file. In the print-menu I'm using command-K is not accepted and
there is a option for generating postscript files. I belive it's LaserPrep5.2.

Does anyone know how to gererate an universal postscript-file?

I'll echo the good words on the TI MicroLaser. I bought it when it was still
rated at 6 ppm, and just barely missed qualifying for the free upgrade to the
9 ppm model. So they sent me a free upgrade from my model PS17 to PS35 to
compensate. 

They're pretty good about firmware revisions and tech support in
general. Great little printer at a great little price!

By the way, if you own a Mac IIcx/IIcx/Quadra700, and purchase a Kensington

I have one of these beasts as a pet, unfortunately the hard drive bought the

Hyperdrive Software that have been in the back of my disk box for the past
5 years no longer work!

I can no longer find any information on distributors etc.
Is there anyone out there that could mail me a couple of image files of the

This is sort of an emergency!

System 7.0 dynamically allocates the system heap, so there isn't supposed
to be any need for heap tools. Nor will they work for any longer than it
takes to launch your first app.
The size of the system partition can only change when an app launches or
quits, however. If you run out of memory while quicktiming, using a huge
clipboard, or printing (or whatever), either launch or quit an app and
try again.
If you can't do this, BootMan's Purge function is still useful in System
7 to recover what memory you can from what's already in your system heap.

Hello Netters,

Is there a program like QT Batch or PICTPixie, but instead of compressing
each individual pict file to another file, it compresses many pict
files into a QuickTime movie?

I use unix machines to generate Ray traced raster images of molecules
which are trivially converted into PICT files by Unix utilities. The Unix
file system is accesible to the Macintoshes, so a long series of Ray
traced images generated by the UNIX machines could be dragged and
dropped onto such a utility.

Any help would be appreciated

My $.02 on the LC II:

1.  The LC II is a replacement, not an upgrade.
2.  Apple is standardizing on the 030, and all non-030 machines,
    incl. the classic and LC, are being dropped.
3.  Making the LC II 32-bits wide would have required a MAJOR design
    revision and a cost of FAR more than $20 to the user.  Wonder why
    it's $700 more for the Classic II?
4.  The LC II is aimed at those who would buy an LC.  There *is* no
    competition for the LC if you want a Mac.  IBM's problem with the PS/2
    line, contrary to what you said, was that they went to MCA.  People 
   would have flocked to them if they could have still used their old
    expansion cards.  Corporate users could not justify the PS/2 as an upgrade
    until a faster machine came along.  Likewise, there is no real
    reason why the average user would *upgrade* to the LC II.  Its niche
    is first-time purchasers, which is not what IBM was trying for.

Is it better to connect the HP DeskWriter to my Mac Classic via a direct

a slower Mac->DeskWriter interface but allows the DeskWriter to have a
bigger buffer.  The AppleTalk inteface is faster but the DeskWriter buffer is
only half as big.  Also, I am running 7.0.1 with S7 tune-up installed so if I
use the AppleTalk interface I'll have to spend several K of RAM to run the

I think others have explained what Apple File Exchange is.  I just wanted
to mention that MacWrite II will do the conversion you want in a very
easy way.  It will let you open AND save files in lots of Mac and DOS
formats directly from within the program.

I don't really use MacWrite II, but we got a copy awhile ago here at work
and it comes in handy sometimes for doing this kind of conversion.

how then do I make a movie?

My only guess so far: put each image on a separate card of a SuperCard

This is, of course, not real slick.  Anyone have a better idea?

I don't know about OmegaSANE, but MMInit is EVIL. Burn it
immediately! :) It was something that some people at Apple were
working on to fix a bug in the Memory Manager, and it somehow got
leaked. It was never officially released. System 7 fixes the bug
that MMInit was designed to fix. MMInit patches out the System 7
fixes, nullifying them completely. Expunge it from your hard
drive and repent your sins! (Oops, sorry, got a little carried

I have some of those wonderful .image files from ftp.apple.com,
but what is the program I use to get them onto disk?  And which
ftp site can I get it from?  Thanks.
