Subject: Mac wedges when AD's Randomizer is active
Date: 5 Oct 92 16:43:56 GMT
Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation


 I'm having some trouble with After Dark's Randomizer.

 I've been running single modules for a while, but recently switched to the
 Randomizer module, using all either Berkeley modules or well-tested freebies.  

 If I leave the Mac for a while (longer than a few minutes), it will be wedged
 when I get back. The screen will be completely dark, and neither the Debugger
 switch nor Command/Option/Escape has any effect. I have to hit the restart
 button.

 This is System 7.0.1tuned, 32-bit on, VM off, and the only relevant inits I
 can think of are DiskExpress 2.11 and AutoDoubler 1.07. After Dark is 2.0v.
 The frontmost application doesn't seem to affect the problem.

 For now, I've switched to ScreenEclipse (comes with Alsoft Power Utilities),
 and all seems fine.

 I know this is really vague, but has anyone else seen this?

 Thanks,

I'm a daily user of Textures, and wouldn't trade it for either Oztex or
a generic tex environment. I hope Bly Sky lives well and prospers.

But... they really do need to update the editor. The shareware
editor Alpha would be a good starting point for some ideas on what could be
done. And I'm still having problems with the printing of extra characters
in Latex pictures on an HP Deskwriter.

I'm looking for recommendations on what kind of paper works best on the 
StyleWriter.  The manual recommends 20 lb. cotton bond, but when I tried it I 
thought the paper was so absorbent that the characters looked a little fuzzy.  
Plain Xerox bond isn't bad, but it's probably more prone to smearing.  I've 
looked in stores for paper designed for inkjet printers, but haven't found 
any.  Is such paper "slick", or fuzzy like cotton bond? Suggestions would be 
appreciated.  Another question- a posting the other day mentioned an 
"Indelible INK Refill" made for the StyleWriter by Graphic Utilities 
(supposedly waterproof).  Any pointers on where to find this?

I use a NeXT at work and have several applications that create EPS files.   
I've tried downloading an EPS file and then opening it in Word5.0a.  The  
file downloads sucessfully and Word appears to open it, but all I get at  
the end is the header.  The file size is large - indicating that there  
should be more their, but when I print, only the header prints.  The  
header states what application created the EPS file (e.g. NXYPlot on the  
NeXT) but that is all that there is.  Is there some utility out there that  
will convert from one computer platform EPS format to the Mac EPS format?
I thought that EPS was universal.  Word says it is reading in the file as  
EPS, but I can not view it in Word, nor will it print to the Personal  
LaserWriter.

Thanks, Krash!

    I tried some special paper from the local office supply store
 (I think Strathmore) which said it was for ink jets, and found it
 worked very poorly.  I have found that for most business and
 casual correspondance that the least expensive laser printer
 paper from PaperRama works fine, at least as good as the ink jet
 paper which was in the StyleWriter in the Mac dealer's when I
 treid it.

    The best results I've ever gotten was on Woodstocks DTP, which
 is an 'exotic' paper (has speckles) made from recycled stock. 
 It's more absorbant than most other papers.  It's more expensive
 than plain bond, so I use it for my best correspondance.

    I've found that I can print on 3x5 cards, plain envelopes, and
 just about anything else, as long as you leave the paper alone
 for a few moments after printing so the ink dries.  (But then, I
 use a fountain pen for my regular writing, and draw newsletter
 covers with india ink, so I'm used to working with wet ink).  I
 even print my checks on a StyleWriter, and don't get smudges.

    If you really want the best results, you can use a paper which
 is made for wet ink (like Sam Flax Ultratec or a similar drawing
 paper) which is a very smooth surface: but it is very
 non-absorbant, and the ink WILL be wet and sitting on the top of
 the paper when the sheet comes out.  You have to let it sit until
 the paper dries.  This is only worth the trouble if you want the
 full 360 DPI for camera-ready copy.  Otherwise, look for plain
 bond paper which is NOT sized (some laser papers are) so it has
 an open absorbant surface, and keep telling yourself "it's a lot
 better than dot matrix and fax, and cheaper than laser".  And how
 many people are you sending documents to who are going to look at
 it with a magnifying glass anyway?

I actually solved the problem after about 6 hours of debuging. Word
5's mail merge field names are not case sensitive whereas WordRef's
variables are. I had something like <<#HIQ:++eqn>> in one place and
<<#hIQ:++eqn>> in a different place. WordRef assigned these two
different values but when Word tried to merge it totally blew up since
it seemed that the same field name had two different values. Not a
very good way of dealing with the inconsistancy.

I believe the current MAZ will work on the new and old card and the 8.24.
However, you might have to reselect the monitor with the Monitors cdev
because MAZ is looking for the scrn resource, which is not installed
into the system, unless you set the Monitors cdev.

I'd think that a screen saver with password locking would provide a good 
level of security.  Most of 'em can be set to kick in immediately after boot 
also, in order to provide better security.  Now Utils used to come with one 
that did the job, but I'm not sure if they're still selling it with version 
4.0.

Another thing you could do is have the server sitting there with no display, 
keyboard or mouse.  That makes it pretty tough for people to do anything with 
it without moving hardware around.

I upgraded the system to 7.0.1 + tuneup 7.1.1 and then POOF!

Now when I read news, I get the list of newsgroups just fine,
but I get an empty list of articles.  The same is true for
my mac with an ethernet card and another mac on a Gatorbox.
Now, if I walk across the room to a mac running 6.0.7, newswatcher
works just fine.  I can run Telnet and Eudora just fine, so my
MacTCP works.  I can even Telenet into the NNTP port of my news server.
I have tried different versions of Newswatcher, I was using 1.0.
I tried 1.3d6, which gives me an error when I try to open a newsgroup
that reads:

	"A server error occurred:
	502 You only have permission to transfer, sorry."

I have posted to this question to this group before, and did not

You're right.  Notice that the documentation that came with your 170 mentioned

it on too long.  I've seen the effect on my 170.

There is a screensaver incorporated in CPU which works just dandy.  I haven't

   Hi.   I'm being driven up the wall with what seems to me to me an atrocious
bug in Word 5.0a.   To explain:
   I recently installed MS Word 5.0a, and went in to the Commands... dialog
under the Tools menu.  For some reason, there was a separator in the Fonts
menu where there should not have been one.  So I scrolled down until I found
the --Separator-- command, then selected the position over the offending
separator from the popup menus, expecting to see the Add button dim and the
Remove button un-dim.  This did not happen.  I tried adding and then removing
a separator from another place.  It did not remove either.  I tried the same
thing again.  Same result.  Now I have THREE extra separators on my Fonts menu
and that does not mesh well with my sense of esthetics.

      Answers would be greatly appreciated!!!
