"Find Script Sensitive" is only in the International versions (versions that 
allow you to toggle between different language scripts). 

Current International Versions: 

 Arabic, Czech, Hebrew, Hungarian, Polish, Russian - Nisus 3.24
 Finnish - Nisus 3.25
 Japanese - SoloWriter 1.22
 Korean - Nisus 2.17

All of these versions give you the "Find Script Sensitive" option.

Find Script Sensitive is related to foreign script searches. This is useful if 
you are using a foreign script, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, etc. (I am 
not referring to FONTS, I am referring to SCRIPTS. There is a big difference.)

When using foreign scripts, typing certain characters may use a key or 
combination of keys that are also used in English to get different characters. 

Example:
You are looking for the English character "A" and you also have a Russian 
character that you typed "A" to get (looks like the Greek letter "Phi"). You 
only want to find the English "A." Turn ON the "Find Script Sensitive" command 
in the Search Method menu. This sequence will find only the "A" characters 
that were typed in the English script.

You can also use this for PowerSearch and PowerSearch+. 

Example:
You want to find all Arabic text in your document. Switch to the Arabic 
script. Choose "Any Character or " from the PowerSearch "Wildcards" menu and 
"1+" from the PowerSearch "Repeat #" menu. This sequence will FIND ANY ARABIC 
TEXT in the document.

I just cracked the Intellidraw box today and spent about an hour playing with

Intellidraw (and again, remember this is early) is incredibly easy to use, very
intuitive and my biggest impression is, "What took them so long?" I'm having
the same kind of fun with it that I did when I first started using XPress in
1987, having previously struggled with Pagemaker. My impressions then, as now,
are "Ahhhhh.... this is what this experience SHOULD be."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe MAZ takes advantage of the Toby

Find out if your UNIX box has a utility called 'mcvert'.  'mcvert' will
convert
from MacBinary to BinHex and vice versa.  If you don't, check the
sumex-aim
ftp site for it (it should be /util/unix/mcvert... or something to that

I doubt that that's your problem.

Neither cr nor lf are significant are are silently ignored by RTF
readers.  Space, on the other hand IS significant.  If your mailer
drops trailing spaces at the ends of lines you might experience this
problem.

Possibly your mailer wraps long lines and drops the space between
words.  RTF writers often write very long output lines, and many
mailers don't handle arbitrarily long lines very well.

	Words of warning on the outbound:
	My girlfriend has one, and I've used it extensively. Outbound's 
support is quite good so far, and there's been only on bug, which was 
fixed with software very quickly. 
	BUT

	For me, I find it uncomfortable to use. I prefer the keyboard 
placement of the Powerbook, with the wrist-rest. For >1/2 hour of use, I 
felt much more comfortable with the PB (my advisor has a PB170).
	The Outbound's "cursor-bar" is awkward, in my opinion. PB's track-
ball beats it hands down, I think. Girlfriend says she got used to it after
a couple days. You decide.
	The Outbound's screen can't get bright enough for me, and more 
importantly, has moderate to severe ghosting. Again, I found it annoying
over prolonged use. The PB170's active-matrix screen is beautiful, just 
like a Mac+'s. I have not used the other PB screen.

	Personally, I'd save up the extra $ and get a PowerBook. But 
I *can* reccommend the staff at Outbound. They've responded to queries 
quickly and honestly, and I respect that, even when the answer isn't what
you want (i.e. there is no current or planned support for driving a color 
external monitor).  

	Hope this helps.

Date: 30 Sep 1992 19:19:26 -0700
Organization: University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
NNTP-Posting-Host: aludra.usc.edu

First of all let me say that I don't normally pirate software, and that Mac's
Place already has my order for Leyte Gulf.  I really don't mind supporting
Graphic Simultions.  But, when a differently moral friend told me he had a copy
and asked if I wanted it... I had to say yes.

This isn't the official release.  It came with it's own copy of hellcats, and
the Gulf file won't work on my real copy of the game.  I also get a list of
debugging information in the mission status window.  When I land on a 
carrier nothing happens.  So, anything I report here could have changed 
in the released version.  And also realize this is coming from about 20 minutes
of play from someone without a list of what to mission goals are.

First of all, the frame rate is much better on my LC than in the old game.
This surprised the hell out of me.  How DO they do it?  The carrier is
longer, and it's moving, and has a wake.  When you hit 't' durring takeoff,
instead of showing an image from the tower, you get a sweeping view of the
whole carrier.  Great!  I tried one mission from an airfield.  Durring takeoff
there was a truck driving around the base.  And buildings at the base were 
more detailed, they had windows and doors.  On one mission I saw a pair of
small boats on the shore, with tiny dots moving out of them.  You've got to be 
real close to see that they are tanks, but they are really cool.  The dialog
that lets you select the missions has some new items.  There is a check box
to let you take 6 rockets.  You get six or none.  They fire 2 at a time with
the 'n' key, and it looks awsome.  I don't think their guided, but I'm not
sure.  Also, instead of taking 1 or 2 bombs, you can leave them behind and
take 1 or 2 torpedos instead.  These look really cool.  After they hit the
water you can still see the wake it leaves.  They do explode if you drop them
on land, just not very big.  

There are 8 new missions:  Big Bang, Mission X, Lighting Strike, Scramble 2,
Tank Invasion, Mission 6, Mission 7, Mission 8.  I assume the latter 3 will
be named in the release version.

Well that's all I'v noticed in 20 minutes.  I heard there are new planes too,
but I didn't see them yet.  Maybe I'll post more after I play some more.  I 
don't know what the goals of the missions are, since I have no docs, so I 
can't really do anything constructive, just fly around and blow things up.

Well, if you have solved the underwater area, then you should use the gift that

give it to someone with a fairly high rate of movement.  Taht way he can run
away from the party and engage the dragons before they can blow everyone away
with their breath weapons.  

Another thing to try would be resetting the play level.  Next time you get a
chance to encamp, to the Alt menu and change the level in there.  I have it
set to the easiest level.

My guess is that the additional status display is there in color and not

I programmed the music driver used in Lemmings.  It's *not* the Bogas
driver, as an earlier posting to comp.sys.mac.games suggested.  The Lemmings
driver can support as many voices and as much sound quality as possible
depending on the available processing time.

Let me explain why you weren't getting sound while you had a QuickTime
movie open.  QuickTime allocates a sound channel for performing the sound
track of open movies.  Lemmings, because the music/sound effects driver 
accesses the sound hardware directly, will avoid playing sound if any
regular sound channels are open.  Once it starts, it will prevent other 
applications from playing sounds until you pause or quit.  This is all 
done to prevent the Sound Manager from freaking out.

Other versions of the music driver (Prince Of Persia, Carmen Sandiego
Deluxe edition, and SimAnt) used the Sound Manager, but Lemmings needed
even better performance so it accessed the sound hardware directly.

Now that I'm employed by Apple and am improving the Sound Manager, I'll do
what I can to make sure the Sound Manager will always be the *best*, not
just the "correct" way to pump out sound.  Although current models of the
Mac all have hardware support for emulation of the Mac Plus sound hardware,
that may not always be the case in the future.  With future versions of
the Sound Manager, we'll be taking away any reason developers may have
had to bang on that hardware to improve performance.

The music driver used in Lemmings and many other current Mac games is 
available for sale by Halestorm, Inc.  Interested developers can contact
Steve at (510) 449-5297 for technical questions and licensing terms.
