Subject: MacTCP driver and V7.0.1 conflict?
Keywords: can't save IP number, etc after upgrade
Date: 9 Oct 92 21:04:57 GMT
Organization: UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Has anyone encountered a problem with running the ethernet
driver MacTCP version 1.0.1 under system 7.0.1?

We just installed the new system versoin (went from 7.0 to 7.0.1) and
are having problems getting our telnet programs (MacTC from NCSA and
MacIP)to work.  After we copy MacTCP from a floppy or over the network,
we can set the IP number.  If we reboot, the information seems to be
lost and the and doubleclicking on the MacTCP icon gives the error that
the application that created the document could not be found.

Does this ring any bells?

Thanks,

MacTCP 1.0.1 is not supported and not supported under system 7.0.1 the
correct version to use is MacTCP 1.1.1 which is available from APDA.

Well, I'm flattered.  Now, it's time for The Big Disclaimer.  I'm the 
author of Homer, and while I'm glad Homer's working out for some people,
I feel that I should point out that it's nowhere near completion (and 
hence the reaon for it not being available at real archives, like sumex).
Before you even bother FTPing to zaphod, I can tell you that the 
currently posted versions of Homer (there are separate serial and TCP 
versions) require System 7, and probably won't work if you're using a 
"little" Mac.  I'm working on the little Mac problem.

Even if you meet these requirements, you might stumble across some bugs.
Er, scratch that.  PROBABLY will is more like it.  See, Homer started off
as a little utility that I thought would be useful for myself.  I never
thought that it would become public.  I'm glad others are finding it fun,
but I'm still struggling to make it compatible across platforms.

Also, at this point, Homer doesn't come with a user manual, per se.  There's
a small READ ME file, but I've been assuming that the people getting Homer
would already be IRC-savvy (since the only way to find out about its 
existence was through IRC).  It looks like that's no longer the case.
I've been working on yet another version (I'm forever working on upgrades/
bug fixes), so when I post that one, I'll include a small user manual that
explains some IRC basics.

Finally (finally!), if you do decide to try out Homer, please let me know
of any bugs you find, or if you use it a while, any suggestions for 
improvement that you might have.  I'm trying to rid Homer of bugs as
quickly as possible, but I can't fix the ones I don't know about, so let
me hear 'em.

Anyway, I'm happy to hear that some folks are finding Homer useful, but 
if you take a look, don't expect a finished product, because it's not.

I'm also wondering what I need to do to call somewhere at 14,400bps...
Zterm has no 14.4 setting and neither does QuickLink II (the software

We have many Macs on the Internet and usually LaseWriters on their
LocalTalks.
It seems natural to try to write on these printers from anywhere in the
net.
A simple approach would be a lpd program that would sit in background,
receive files on the lpd port, check if postcript or ASCII and print them
locally (much as any Mac program would do). A print queue might be
managed on a Unix host if needed.

Does such a program exist?

Or is this approach wrong?
I know CAP can be used instead. But it needs a Unix host nearby. And  a
bridge between LocalTalk and Ethernet. We use many PCROUTEs instead,
doing IP routing only, but much cheaper.

Well, I found the answer to this question after a lot of trial and error.
It turns out that AIFF files expect the sound data to be in two's-complement
format, so one has to turn that on (SetDeviceInfo('twos'...)) in order
to record directly to an AIFF file.  The gravelly noise is a result of
the sign bit being interpreted as a place value of 128.

Also, although the 'qual' selector doesn't work with GetDeviceInfo(),
it does work with SetDeviceInfo().  You can set it to 'good' ('MAC6' compression),
'betr' ('MAC3' compression), or 'best' ('NONE' compression).  Setting the
compression directly seems to always return an error.

Still don't know why the 'chac' selector fails.

So it would seem that you are supposed to set the 'qual' first, then
muck with other settings later.

NEW QUESTION: Can I use 11 kHz (or lower) sampling rate with 'good'
'qual' ('MAC6' compression)?

Anybody else playing with this?

   There aren't.  Even if there were, code you wrote to support System 6

   No, it won't.

Very good suggestion.  This got the compilation rolling.  After 
compiling most of the code, it tried to compile Pascal.p in the 
PInterfaces folder, at which point it gave the "Sorry, but you 
don't have Pascal!" message.  But, it later tried to find Pascal.p.o 
in the target folder, and aborted when it couldn't find the file.  
I again applied the dummy file approach and created a dummy file for 
Pascal.p.o and MPW was able to complete the compilation and build 
the sample program.

I guess Apple is still trying to get people to move to the Pascal
"standard".

We need to have four applications finished about a month from now, none of

the image and it brings up a still picture or a QuickTime movie.

2) An application to display RTF that's been extended to allow for hypertexting
and the inclusion pictures and movies. We already have Pascal code that can handle
the text and equations we need from RTF, but it hasn't been converted to C
and put in an application.

3) An application to allow visual navigation through a hierarchy that represents
a document composed of many files.

4) An application with which one can do text searches on the aforementioned
