Document name hack for Microsoft Word 4.0 and LaserWriter 6.0

This information is hereby placed in the public domain.


The name will appear where the paragraph following the PostScript code appears.
That paragraph should take up enough space for the jobname to fit mainly, you
should make sure the paragraph is tall enough for the font you've chosen.

The document name is derived from the jobname, which is of the form username;
Document: documentname.  We search for the rightmost colon in the jobname and
print everything to the right of it.

  0 eq { $jn show } if
} for


The document name should appear above this paragraph when you print.

In the footer, we use the .pic. command instead of .para., so the name will go
into the first graphic block in the paragraph following the PostScript code.
This allows arbitrary placement, and is good for footers and such.  Select Show
Paragraphs to see the empty graphic block.

This being Monday morning, just to clarify a point I've been trying
to make to Jimmy, I've asked him for the place where the Second Wave
advertisement can be found.  I would rather be able to quote that
information so as to sound legitimate.

Since I have seen on the net where another has called and has been told
the card does NOT work with Jimmy's configuration, the assumption can be made
that Second Wave has 'wised up' and won't be sticking their wang out
where someone can chop it off.

Also, the relative in Austin that I indicated could help has declined to
get involved.  

For this reason, I don't believe I will be effective in helping Jimmy.
Due to his posting my name on the net, (and the assumption that someone
could see it and Second Wave might well be waiting for my call...
which would make the whole thing moot since I won't call under a false name)
I'll make this apology both to Jimmy here and by email and to the net
as a whole.

The best bet remains for Jimmy to get in touch with the State Attorney
General's Office as this one agency has the power to bring the parties
involved to court.

Does anyone have the number to the Consumer Fraud office?

Be careful about DateBook.  I just returned it (to MacZone) after
using it for under an hour.  I got it mainly because I wanted to print
datebook pages, and I was severely dissappointed.  It can display in
several handy formats, but printing is brain-damaged.  It can't print
one month across two pages; instead the best you can get is one month
sideways on each page.  It insists that it can print three pages worth
of DayRunner filler on one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, even though it
comes out way too narrow.  It can't print any view other than "list"
in weekly fillers (see below).  The advertized "network" features
aren't there: you get a little note in the box telling you that it
will be sent to you for free as soon as it's ready.

I took a quick look at DayMaker, at it seems to have the following
well-developed features:

Handles schedules
Handles addresses
Keeps track of contacts
Views are highly customizable

The big missing feature in my eyes is that it only has one graphical
view of schedules:  Gantt charts.  You can't seem to set it up to
display and print schedules in the same format as a normal DayRunner:

8:00  _________
9:00  _________
10:00 Coffee___
11:00 Donuts___
12:00 Lunch____
1:00  _________
2:00  _________
3:00  Meeting__
..etc.

Instead, you get either a compressed list format:

10:00 Coffee
11:00 Donuts
12:00 Lunch
3:00  Meeting

or the Gantt chart, which I won't attempt using ASCII.

So far, the best I've found for printing is Now-Up-to-Date, with the
caveat that it doesn't handle double-sided printing very gracefully at
all--the manual just tells you to tape pages back to back if you want
double sided stuff.  The printout is much better than DateBook, and I
think better than DayMaker as well.  Also, the Now-Up-to-Date
networking features are really handy for dividing your calendar up
into groups and categories, even if aren't really networking with
anyone else at all.

Subject: Word Eqn Editor: Fonts Don't Print
Date: 28 Aug 92 16:17:30 GMT

A coworker of mine wants to use some script characters (J and H to be exact) in
a Word 5.0 document.  The particular font he's using is called Venus, I think. 
He got hold of it at least 2 years ago.

Problem:  A LaserWriter II correctly prints the script characters that appear
in the text of the document but NOT those that appear in equations created with
the Equation Editor.  That is, unwanted font substitution occurs ONLY for those
script characters in equations.

Other info:  A QuickDraw printer (a DeskWriter) prints all correctly.  We've
tried turning off Font Substitution in the Page Setup box and also turning on
the Unlimited Downloadable Fonts feature.  No luck.

So, is there another font out there that contains script characters and does
not suffer from this problem?  I'm not fully conversant in all of the types of
fonts (TrueType, Type 1, Type 3, what-have-you), so please bear in mind that my
colleague uses System 6.0.7.  I'm not sure if that limits the possible
solutions.

Please, e-mail suggestions to me or to the actual victim of this problem,
xm_song@dal.mobil.com.  Of course, if you feel that there is general interest,
you can post your answer and I'll see it.  Thanks much.

Yes, I've been following the threads already on this, but let me throw
my own request out in case it strikes a common chord.

I'm looking for something to manage my activities.  I have People,
Actions, and Time, and I need to manage each in a somewhat
hierarchical fashion.

For example, I look at individuals, and also groups of people.  Both
have meaning.

Also, I have actions, and projects (collections of actions).
Sometimes, these are even nested multiply, like subtasks of subtasks
of tasks, with expected or promised due dates at each level.
And priorities for each.  Wheesh.

And, of course, time. Year/month/week/day/hour/minute at a glance.
Everything I'm doing, or just by project, or juest by person.

Joe calls me.  I'm talking to him on the phone.  He wants to know when
we can do lunch.  I've got to be able to pull something up in a few
mous-ings that shows me this week and next, preferably just lunchtime.
:-)

Fine... next thursday.. but he wants to know if I can have Mary there
too.  Now I need to put a task in to call Mary and get back to Joe
before next thursday.  IT'S GOOTTA BE FAST, cuz I'm talkin' to Joe,
and he wants my attention.

Oh, now Mary called me.  What were *all* the things that I had to talk
to her about.  Quickly.

Oh, she says the video is now due on the 18th instead of the 25th.
Gads.  Gotta call the crew and get it moved up for shooting now; can I
make it, she asks?

My day is *filled* with this stuff... and I can't be the only one in
the world that does this.

I'd gladly pay $500 for something that worked *well*.
I've got my powerbook... now lets make it powerful!

I'm a good enough hacker (20 years now) that I could write this if I
knew enough about programming my recently acquired mac.  But I'd
rather take an off-the-shelf package that someone has put their time
into.

Yes, I have Thoughtminder.  No, that won't do.  Yes, I have considered
writing up what I need in Hypercard. No, that won't do (wayy too
slow).  Excel macros don't cut it either.

Someone must have made a program for the busy people like me. (I'm
writing my second book on Perl, handling clients for network
administration, Perl programming, and teaching, and also producing
videos.  And that's just the tip of the iceberg!)

Just another new powerbook user,

Yet, inside, it is just yet another notice trying to talk me into

upgrade notices actually eventually make them want to upgrade?)

So either there was an error in the printing of the envelopes, or
T/Maker (makers of WriteNow) considers the deluge of WriteNow upgrade
notices to be a "subscription". So if I don't get the upgrade, the
"subscription" will run out! Of course, if I were to take the upgrade,
I assume they'd stop the "subscription" anyway... :-)

Anyway, I think I'll wait to upgrade when they add some significant
features like drag-drop text editing...

I recently tried to print a Freehand-generated EPS graphic into word 5 via the

Condensed font in the graphic reverted to Courier and print monitor claimed 
that there was no outline font.

This was untrue and I was able to print the graphic in Freehand.

I called Microsoft and they told me to first use the font in the document with 
some text and then make it invisible.

Ok, a doable workaround (which actually did not work I gave up and remade the 
graphic with a font in the printer). So is this a bug? An "undocumented 
feature?" Or are their claims of eps compatibility "Documented Unfeatures."

I have been using Thought Pattern for storage of random thoughts and data

Boston last month and saw that they're adding a "to-do" and a "calendar"

upgrade. In any event, I spoke with the owner at length and he was a very
nice and helpful man. The demo of Version 2.0, which will support these
new features was really cool and it should be out sometime this fall.

That also seems to be true for System 7 File Sharing, but it also happens on a

Sounds like they haven't properly implemented publish & subscribe. It seems to
me that if it were done correctly, it wouldn't matter if it were on a network

I hear a lot of accolades for Canvas.  But before I push for this program

Special concerns for me are memory (my poor, anemic IIcx has only 5 meg
