	Dunno about that, but probably the next best thing is Baseline
Publishing's I Like Icon, which I picked up while at MacWorld Expo.
It's capable of playing a 32x32 QuickTime movie (with optional audio) in
lieu of a Finder icon, when one single-clicks on the icon. It even
plays multiple Quicktime icons when selecting more than one Finder
icon. Even niftier is that if your file is a Quicktime movie, and if
you've attached a custom icon to the file (under System 7), single-clicking
the file begins playing the entire movie. Pretty cool.

 I'm using Excel 4.0 under 7.0.1* and printing to a Laserwriter II (no extra
 letters). When I print a chart, sometimes the title text gets truncated. For
 example, if I'm trying to print the word "Connect," I'll get "Connec."
 Everything appears fine on the screen. Anyone else seen this?

Users that are using SuperATM and are considering using Spacesaver (or are
using SpaceSaver and considering SuperATM) should be aware that an init
conflict exists between these two (fine) products. If both products are
installed at the same time, you will be presented with a dialog box, at the
end of the 'init march', indicating SuperATM cannot load. According to ADOBE
technical support, they are working with Alladin on a solution. At this time
the only workaround (if you want to run Spacesaver) is to run a previous
version of ATM.

True Basic is a very nice BASIC development system from the company of
the same name.

Besides being a nice Mac Basic, it includes libraries of interface and
graphics code that can be cross-compiled to DOS, SUN, and a few others.
And it creates true compiled applications.


I haven't used it myself for more than some quick graphing and matrix
applications, but I would recommend it over MS Basic for anyone
who needs to program in Basic.  And they do have a very cheap
student version as well.

If you're running System 7 (or at least using the LaserWriter 7 driver)
you can print just about anything to a PostScript file... I'm pretty 
sure that you can use the driver without a connected printer. Under
System 6 drivers, I vaguely remember a command sequence you held down
while printing to generate postscript, but I have no idea what it was.

Or, you can check out the Print-to-PICT package (on sumex and probably
umich as well)... it'll let you print the individual pages as PICT
files that you can print with just about any object drawing package
available today. The only other thing you may need to transfer are 
individual fonts.

You should have the Reminder control panel installed; this should have
happened when you installed NUTD. Open the control panel and make sure
Reminder is turned on and that the calendar you are using has been
selected.

(See Chapter 8 "Troubleshooting", Reminders, p. 141 in the manual for other

Reply-To: howie@intermec.com ()
Distribution: usa
Organization: Intermec Corporation, Everett, Wa.

Just received a new copy of SuperTetris and discovered it has a
"head-to-head" mode of play over Appleshare or via modem.  I am running the
game primarily on my new IIvx.  I have experienced no problems in the single
play mode.  I thought I give the "head-to-head" mode a try with my SE before
I sell it.  

The setup is not exactly user friendly, but it does work.  My problem is the
sounds on the IIvx seem to get interrupted when playing in this mode.  The
result is the music sounds scratchy or has dropouts.  The SE does not have
any sound problems in "head-to-head" or single play modes. The IIvx is
running 7.1 and the SE 6.0.7.

Anyone out there with any ideas what might be going on?  It seems like the
Appleshare hardware/software is taking away processing time form the sound
system.  I would think the faster IIvx would have no problem with this.
Maybe the SE is so slow the network stuff doersn't interfere with the sounds.

I guess it also could be a design flaw in the IIvx.  I have seen some stuff
about sound and midi problems.  Maybe this is related.  It also may be a
problem with the way SuperTetris handles the sound and network software.

Howard Kaplan

P.S. - My original copy of Tetris had problems playing sounds on the IIvx
also.  It was a similar situation with the sound having dropouts.  I seem to
recall that when I turned off all inits etc. the problem went away, but I am
not sure.  I haven't tried turning off all inits on the IIvx to see if the
"head-to-head" sound dropouts go away.

Count me in as another satisfied (registered) user of SF7.  I run
AutoDoubler and SpeedyFinder7 without any problems.  GateKeeper and the
background copies disagree a bit.  However, I do not like the potential
cataclysmic effects of a non-Finder background copier anyway; so, that
feature is inhibited on my setup.

About the only problem with the BH menu that I noticed is that MS Excel
4.0 with definitely crash if the menu is hidden.  It does not matter who
or what hid the menu, Excel will simply crash.  I wish the dweebs at
Microsoft would get their act together and stop cutting corners to save a
nanosecond per day at run time or two hours of development time.  Ahh,
but I digress.  Anyway, SpeedyFinder is worth the $20.

If anyone is interested, I ran copy speed tests between CopyDoubler and
SpeedyFinder's optimal memory allocation copying (I did not use the
background copier).  CopyDoubler was consistently 20%-30% faster on a
local Mac and across the network.  My guess is that the speed difference
is due to the fact that Finder waits for a copy
confirmation/verification, whereas CopyDoubler just lets it go.  It
appeared that the lag was most noticeable after the copy thermometer was
filled, i.e. after the actual transfer was finished.

John,

Aren't you referring to SigmaPlot from Jandel? StatView is a statistics
package from Abacus Concepts, and it works fine with System 7 TuneUp
installed.

What improvements has Jandel made to SigmaPlot over the last year? I looked
at the program when Jandel demoed it at the Neuroscience meeting just after
its release. Besides the fact that I managed to crash the program within
two minutes, it was by far the slowest graphing package I'd ever used.

From some discussion I had with Victor Tan at about version

v1.5.8, then the bugs are probably fixed.

Here's an idea: how about one of the registered users posting
the revision history for versions 1.5.5 -> 1.5.8 so we can see
just what _has_ been fixed and added? It might give more
incentive to people to register it perhaps.

BTW: I saw a review of SF7 in the latest Macworld Australia, and
they loved it. They thought that it might soon  go commercial.
Yet another reason to register, if it's true. I'm registering as
soon as I can get to the bank and get some A$...
