PANIC - WOE IS ME!

I have just upgraded from DREAMS 1.0 to DREAMS 1.1...
and when diagrams that were created in DREAMS 1.0 are printed using
DREAMS 1.1 then unwanted lines radiate from the top-left-corner of
the picture to many of the objects in the picture!
The unwanted lines do not appear on the screen - only when I print it

Has anyone out there any experience of this.. or better still, know 
of a fix or work-a-round?

I recently downloaded some 832x648 color graphic screens from apple.com. 
Only 
when I open them in Teachtext do I get to see them in full 24-bit color. 
Here's
a question (possibly relateing to the problem: one of those 24-bit images
takes
up only 95k of disk space, while another Pict (converted from a Gif) of
the same
size, but only 8-bit, takes up nearly 900k of space.  While the large PICT
functions normally as a startup screen, the one from apple.com displays a
9" 
picture of b&w garbage centered on the screen.  I have tried to convert
the
image to a larger PICT, but have failed.  One conversion program could
not even
display the image, even though it has the smae type and creator as the
functional
startup screen.  My question is:  what the hell is going on?!?! ---> Why
won't 
they work as a startup screen?  Why are they so small compared to other
PICTs?
Programs used:  GifConverter, Giffer, TeachText, Image, PixelPaint,
Imagery &
Imagic.  I don't have access to Photoshop.  All I want to do is use the
24bit
color 832x648 images from apple.com as startupscreens.  Can anyone help
me????
Please email me ANY help you have... Thanks  :)

Hi my friend needs help!
He wants to record an animation on his mac

I don't know much about this subject.

He has a Quadra (no kidding :D) and a Video Spigot

audio in and out and video in, but no video out.

He says that he wants at least vhs quality output.

Does anyone know which products offer this feature?

Also, for what it's worth, the invisible "key" files also reference their
physical location on the drive, so simply copying them won't work. At
least, this is my theory from OpCode's warnings to be sure to de-install
their programs before performing a defragmentation on a drive.

I have used Times Two and it does work, but there are a few problems. By using its driver
it does double the capacity of a drive but it slows down the writing. On my
Apple internal 40MB
(Quantum), which is no hot rod to begin with, the FWB index went down from 2.1
to 1.3. Times Two will give capacity at the expense of speed. It will install
onto a drive-in-use but if you have any locked files, it WILL trash your disk.
The manual points this out and they are not whistling Dixie!!. Backup first
and then let Times Two "reformat" the drive! Other problems are that it will
not work with DataFrame drives abd will not automount Syquest carts. It does
work but you will have to consider the problems.
Good Luck
Wayne

 I've just upgraded from Word 4 to Word 5.1, and while it was fairly painless,
 I have a couple of questions:

 * Word 5.1 seems to have carried over my 4.0 custom spelling dictionary; it
 auto-opens it from the word 4.0 folder. However, it didn't auto-merge my 4.0
 Standard Glossary, to which I had added entries. I ended up merging it by
 hand, but should the installation have done it?

 * Is there a way to get Word 5.1 to pick up all the entries that are in my
 Word 4.0's "Work" menu?

 The manuals are oddly silent on these points. Thanks for any help!

Well, I WAS leaning towards getting a Deskwriter, primarily because of
its multiple speed advantage over the Stylewriter and Imagewriter
and print appearance improvement over the Imagewriter. Sounds like
I should reconsider?

IF I do decide on the Deskwriter, can anyone recommend a reliable
mail order vendor at a bottom price?

Here's a hint, although I don't have all the pieces.  A friend
of mine can copy virtually all protected music (and other)
software by using Alsoft's "MultiDisk" partitioning utility.
In essence, you install the software onto a small disk partition,
then copy the whole partition.  Since everything is in one
place, the copy protection code is happy, and you can copy the
partition onto other backup media, using Compact Pro or Disk
Doubler.  There is a trick to it, though.  What you actually
copy is the numbered Multidisk partition file (i.e. 0000012),
not the whole partition as a disk icon or opened disk.  I
haven't quite figured out how to execute the whole process,
but I know that it can be done.  I'd be interested to know
if anyone has done something similar.  

P.S. MultiDisk is a great utility; you can password-protect
partitions, make them auto- or manual-mounting etc.  I put
all my data files into a partition which mounts at boot time
if you supply the password within one minute.  Without the
password, nobody even knows your data exists.  (Great for
PowerBooks.)  You can drag the partition to the trash at any
time if you want to let someone else use your computer; you
just remount it later.  Within limits, the partition size
is expandable too, so you don't have to erase and create
partitions as your data expands.  Check it out!

Please post the answer to the net.  The original ClarisWorks came with XTND
translators for other formats, but not for the native format.  So EndNote
can't work with it directly (we support XTND).  If there is a ClarisWorks

There is a box called "Mediator" which converts to PAL, NTSC or S-VHS from
MAC or VGA. You lose a little resolution but single pixel flicker is
eliminated. It costs about $4.5k here so you would probably get it for less
than half that.

Therefore, you must constantly keep a copy of the Laserwriter file in the

Subject:     IIx has problems finding hard disk 
Organization: University of Washington, Seattle

==============================================================================
	I have a Macintosh  IIx  which has problems finding the hard
	disk.  Sometimes when I turn it on  the hard disk makes some
	cliking sounds and then it does not start, and just shows the
	icon with a diskette and  a question mark.   When I start it 
	with a floppy it  does not acknowledge the hard disk existence.
	Sometimes after displaying  the icon  with a diskette and a 
	question mark for about 15 minutes, it suddently starts.
	It is frustrating. 

	I would like to know if somebody had this problem.  I am inclined
	to think there is a faulty connection somewhere between the 
	machine and the hard disk.  But I have checked the connections
	and nothing has changed.  Any suggestions no matter how wild
	will be appreciated.

	Ron
