> Am I missing something or do you just hate NeXT hardware?

Actually, speaking as someone who felt that NeXT should decide whether to be a
hardware or a software company, I wish that NeXT had decided to go the
hardware route.  NeXT hardware was nice, if rather conservative, back in 1988.
Unfortunately, they got all gung-ho on their one-of-a-kind proprietary
software and ignored the necessary to evolve the hardware.

Neither the slab nor the color offerings were terribly exciting; the best
thing about that was the bargain basement 8/105 machine (which you could make
into a real computer quite cheaply with third-party add-ons).

Of course, I speak from the point of view of someone whose commercial software
purchases for the NeXT have been: co-Xist, SLIP, SoftPC, and Executor -- all
packages aimed at getting the NeXT to play ball with the other machines in the
Panda computer zoo.  People who actually care about NeXTSTEP may feel
differently.

Well, a couple of reasons.  Here is the full story:

69929 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.Z
53937 ModPlayer_V2.5.zip
53447 ModPlayer_V2.5.lha
50854 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.lha
44327 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.squfile
38663 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.zip
38541 ModPlayer_V2.5.tar.z

As you can see, zip acting on a directory doesn't really do a very good  
job.  On a single file yes (gzip always seems to beat it slightly), but on  
directories no.  In general, lha always does better than zip on  
directories with large numbers of files. (don't get rid of lha just yet)   
Always the *best* compression can be had by tarring everything first, and  
then using either zip or gzip.

So, if you have to choose between file.tar.z and file.tar.zip, I would  
easily choose file.tar.z instead.  Aside from it having two fewer letters,  
gzip is totally gnu, incredibly easy to install, and will undoubtedly  
replace the unix compress/uncompress. (it works exactly the same way,  
though with some added options)  It is a utility that will be on everyones  
system very soon.  I can't say the same of zip.

Assuming NeXT doesn't change it's hardware line and pricing, which

I don't understand why everyone wants NeXT to drop hardware. NeXT turned a 
profit.  As long as they can sell the hardware at a profit why drop it?

Several people have suggested that the software ports will take all of their
resources but there are two problems with that argument.

1) If the software ports are going to create so much revenue for NeXT then
they can just hire more programmers. After all they will have all the new
found money right?

2) If they abandon a profitable hardware line then what will they use to
finance all the programmers working on software?  If they drop the hadware
then they will just have that much less revenue.

Am I missing something or do you just hate NeXT hardware?

I'll give it a shot, and let Glenn correct my mistakes :-).

A template is simply a document that contains only master pages,
and is saved and then made read-only.  Double-click on it to start
up PasteUp, and use the Save As command immediately.  To be extra
safe, place the template inside a directory that doesn't have write
permission (you'll temporarily have to turn it on to move the .pub
file in there...).

As for placing text, cut and paste from Edit.  For some reason
(Glenn?) Edit's Service->Replace Selection menu item is dimmed out,
which is what I would normally use for putting text and RTF inside
of another program.

Auto-growing of pages is simple - simply have your text columns as
auto-link columns in the Master Layer.  That is, go to the Master
Layer, and drag out a text column.  Go back to the pages layer and
start typeing in that column.  Since it's auto-linked to the next
page (by drawing it in the master layer and leaving it unlinked),
you will also have a page added automatically when you get to the
next page.  If you've not been using master pages, you should learn
a little about them.

Personally, I've found PasteUp to be the most intuitive page layout
program I've ever used (have you tried alt-arrows, and
shift-alt-arrows for kerning?).  And it'll only get better...

This reminds me of something that crossed my mind some time ago.  As more  
and more people have computers at home and more and more have modems it  
would be nice to have a program that would call somebody and send them  
e-mail.  As an address you would have a phone # as opposed to an internet  
address.  The mailed would actomagically know to use the modem to send  
that person e-mail.  It would keep trying until it got through.  The one  
drawback that I see is how to get around the need for a dedicated line.   
Is it possible to determine if a cal is voice, modem. or fax before the  
off-hook signal is sent?  If so then all the program would have to do is  
pick up the call if it was a computer, otherwise just let it ring through.   
Any thoughts on this?

Contact:
	Phone: 301/405-7534

The EDUCOM Software and Curriculum Innovation Awards Program is
accepting entries for the 1993 competition.  The deadline for
submissions is February 26.  To request that an entry form be sent to
you, send e-mail to awards@cristal.umd.edu, or call 301/405-7534.

There are two categories in which submissions can be made:  the
Product Division, for original software designed to enhance student
learning, and the Curriculum Innovation Division, which focuses on
the use of technology by rewarding excellence in teaching with
computers.  There is no requirement that original software be
developed by the submitter to enter an application in the Curriculum
Innovation category, just that the computer be applied in ways that
meet an important instructional need. The innovation might be the
creative classroom use of existing commercial software packages; it
might be the adaptation of existing packages for educational use; or
it might be built around new software designed by the applicant.

Entries will be reviewed in the following disciplines, all of which
are at the undergraduate level except Law:

* Natural Sciences, which can include Astronomy, Atmospheric Science,
Biology, Botany, Ecology, Forestry, Genetics, Zoology, Chemistry,
Geology, or Physics;

* Humanities, including Area Studies, Communications, English
(Literature or Composition), Journalism, Foreign Languages, or
Philosophy;

* Engineering, including Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Computer
Science, Electrical, Mechanical, or Nuclear;

* Mathematics, which can include Algebra, Calculus, Geometry,
Statistics, or other;

* Social Sciences, including Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics,
Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology,
Statistics or Research Methods; and

* Law (Graduate level), which can include any area of specialization.
