You're correct about System 7 Backgrounder.  However, the System 7 Laser
Prep file is a dummy, which is only installed to keep the Appleshare Print
Server happy, since said server was written under the assumption that There
Would Always Be A Laser Prep File.  Since the Laserwriter after version 7
doesn't use a separate Laser Prep (even under System 6), well...

Organization: Stanford University
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1992 21:47:45 GMT

I only need to print raw postscript files occasionally, so I only just
noticed that SendPS 2.0 does not work with System 7. It gives an error
message saying it cannot get the name of the Laserwriter. There is a 
note posted in the rascal archives suggesting that making an alias of the
Laserwriter file from the Extensions folder, putting it in the System
folder, and naming it Laserwriter, will work, however I have had no success
with this - SendPS gives the same error message. 

I know I could work around by putting the file into Word as postscript, but
this is a lot of extra fussing. Ditto for Pagemaker or other large hammers
for what should be a small nail.

So, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I don't think that really has anything to do with it (I had my calculate

try using menuchoice instead, the restarting time of finder is far far

Hello everyone, I wonder if anyone could help me with a small problem.
We have several powerbooks (100s and 140s), some Classic IIs, and a
Laserwriter IIf.

Problem:  The powerbooks cannot "see" the IIf when I try to select it
in the Chooser.  The machines are connected direct via a simple
Localtalk cable.  The powerbooks are running system 7.0.1 with
Tuneup 1.1.1.

If I try the same setup with the Classic II, all is well - the
IIf appear in the Chooser menu as expected and all works fine.

Anyone got any idea why this is?

It isn't. You can just copy the files. Make sure to turn off file sharing
before you copy the new file sharing extension, or you will get an error
message saying that the file sharing file cannot be replaced because it is
in use.

The problem with making the icons "float to the top" of any other windows
is ambiguity.  Is the icon a part of that window, or is it on the desktop?
Also, just where is the desktop?  This would suggest that the desktop is
hovering somewhere above the Finder, so any icon moved should be copied
to the desktop.

I want something better.  If I ever have time perhaps I'll program an INIT
that supports pop-out icons.  Whenever you moved a file to the very edge
of the screen, icons would "pop out" and appear under your cursor.  If
you let go of the mouse button there, it would be just like you drag-and
dropped the file on top of that icon.  Takes up no screen real-estate,
conflicts with nothing currently in the Finder, and certainly cleans up
my desktop!

I hope Apple beats me to the punch, as I haven't the foggiest what to
patch to get the system to do this now.

I beg to differ.  

First:
The phrase "until someone changes the laws, that's
the way it's going to be", seems to me to be bc's indication that he
no interest in changing the "stupid and crazy" state of affairs.
Sounds like hopelessness (on his part) to me. Although he did not
explicitly state that "there's no need to fight" he would seem to me
to have abdicated all responsibility to resist the "stupid and crazy"
situation. 

>In fact, Bill invited you to get the laws "fixed."  Or at least he did in the
>posting that appeared on my screen.  Why the knee-jerk reaction?

Second:
I do not consider his stating that he doesn't like the laws an
invitation for me to fix them.

Finally:
I do not consider my reaction knee-jerk (implying autonomous?).  I
consider it a measured response to a poor argument.

No, SE/30's have Color Quickdraw in ROM, and SEs don't. System 7 doesn't

Sorry, but this isn't entirly true.  Speed Beep 2.0.5 would work with

  If you watch the elevator box as you scroll up or down, you might
notice that it accelerates up to a point.  This was done back when
the fx was introduced because someone thought people would have
problems with high speed scrolling.
  Portables and PowerBooks have square menu bars, instead of the rounded
ones all the other Macs have.

You can get two postscript Kanji fonts by buying ATM-J from
Adobe.  They also have other fonts available at a rather higher
price.  I don't believe that Apple provides the postscript
fonts that come with the NTX-J separate from the printer.

A volume must be mounted before File Sharing is started in order to be shared.
If any of your volumes or partitions were mounted after you started File Sharing
(or booted your Mac, if you have File Sharing on as the default) then you would
not be able to share those volumes or anything on them.

If that's not your problem, then I'm at a loss...

Anyone who runs a disk optimiser should know by now (no matter if you

In fact the best steps I always take are:

  Run disk first aid.
  Run Norton Disk Doctor as a second opinion.

  Run a backup of the whole disk.
  Run the disk optimiser.

Norton 1.1 is/(seems to me) better at handling disk problems.

possible to create them from virtual memory?  If the latter is the case,
how badly does performance suffer in comparsion?

2) Are there any shareware/freeware programs out there for creating non-

Hi,
I thought I could be smart, and make my system folder leaner by
replacing some of the stuff in there with aliases.
For example, Aldus needs a huge Aldus folder in the system.
So I figured I could make an alias of the Aldus folder, leave
the Aldus folder with the Aldus applications, and dump the
alias into the system folder.  
But, helas, it doesn't work.
I found similar problems with other applications that use files in
the system folder.  So, I assume that applications don't see
files the same way, 'we' see files through the Finder.
Is there any way of fooling applications into using aliases in
such a way as I described?
Any ideas appreciated.
Please leave also email when replying.
