Hello,
I have a question about ileMaker Pro speed.
Actually we run this application on a 20 Mac network. The server (where we
store the database files) itself is a Mac Quadra 950 running AppleShare 3.0,
and connected through Ethernet.

We always work on the same 4 major databases. Actually, the first user turning
on his Mac starts FileMaker. Then every user is a client to his database.

I've heard that letting start FileMaker on the server itself instead of a 
user's Mac with the requested databases is faster.

Is it true that we access the dabase faster when running on the server ?

Thanks for your help !

Sincerely,

Steve Jordi

My brother in law is a Spanish linguist.  He can make his
Mac use/produce the diacritical marks he needs.  But his
publisher insists on his translating his Word files to IBM
(wordperfect, I think).  The text translates with McLink+.
The diacritical marks do not.  

Is there _any_ hope for him.  This is making him crazy and
pushing him into MSDOSdom.

I use FrameMaker on both my NeXTstation and Powerbook 170 primarily  
because of its equation processor and ability to handly longish technical  
documents populated with figures and tables as well as equations. The  
equation processor is especially spiffy because it is also a symbolic  
processor so you can edit, rearrange, and transform equations...or do  
derivations. (But it can't plot the equations.)

I think you mean MSWorks *3.0* not 2.0.  I've used MSWorks 2.0, 3.0, and
ClarisWorks, and ClarisWorks is by far the best.  In many cases, dealers
are now trying to "push" MSWorks onto their Mac customers--that may
change the market share figures a bit in the short term, but the quality
of the products will ensure that CW keeps a large market share over the
long term.

I have to add my name to the list of once happy but now dissatisfied MacInTax
users. The first year I used it I was completely shocked at how easy it was.
Took me about 15 minutes to do what normal took a few days. But last year was
completely different. The program was difficult to install and I had constant
problems with crashes. I would not recommend MacInTax to anyone.

Reply-To: tabron@binah.cc.brandeis.edu
Organization: Brandeis University

hello, folks..

3 small questions that I don't think are FAQ's (I hope)

1. Could someone tell me just what the hell MacTCP is and what it's good for?

2. (This one is more important to me) I am using DiskDoubler on my ClassicII
running 7.0.1+1.1.1 and I LOVE it, but I occasionally find that when I open a
compressed document, it uncompresses (apparently fine,) but then it _doesn't_
open it -- it just recompresses it! I'm doing it _right_ -- i.e. I start the
application _first_, or I make sure the application isn't compressed (btw I
wish someone would work on that for future versions -- why can't I open a
compressed document that can send its launch command to a compressed app which
will then uncompress and launch and open that document?? it does make DD a
little more cumbersome for me.) It only happens occasionally, and I've always
assumed that there was something else wrong (not enough memory, or whatever)
but I've noticed that it keeps happening, even when nothing else is running. I
don't notice any rhyme or reason to the things it refuses to open -- i.e. this
happens with docs, with apps, etc.
It's a pain because I have to select the item and go to "Expand" under the DD
menu -- and if I don't remember to select it and compress it again when I'm
done, DD won't automatically recompress it.

3. We've just noticed here that the office copy of MacLink Plus/PC (6.0 I
think) doesn't have a translator for QuarkExpress. This is only mildly
annoying, as we don't get much call to translate Quark files, but I'm curious
as to why. As my boss pointed out, it's got PageMaker, Ventura Publisher, and
FrameMaker -- but no Quark Express? What's the excuse for not providing
translation for such a popular program?

The AIC is a standalone application.  AutoDoubler is NOT required
for it to function.  ANY application, CDEV, or INIT compressed with
the AIC will function normally WITHOUT AutoDoubler installed.

An example of a system without AutoDoubler installed:

1.	System is booted
2.	AIC'd app is launched and the copyright dialog appears.
3.	Another AIC'd app is launched and NO copyright notice appears.

Only the FIRST AIC'd application, CDEV, or INIT that launches will
produce the copyright notice.

If you can get your hands on it, Stuffit Deluxe (and maybe some of the Share
Ware versions) can perform this job for you.  They have a translator that does 
just what you ask.  It can also decompress arc tar and can convert unix 
text to mac.  You can get it bundled with SpaceSaver from Mac Zone.  I enjoy
it.

If you want to know the expanded size of all files on your disk, use
the 'Savings' command in the AutoDoubler control panel. Then hit the
'Details' button. You'll then have to add two numbers: the expanded
size of the compressed files, plus the size of the uncompressed files.

Is it possible with QuickKeys or Frontier ?

Over a period of about eight hours, My SE got to the point where it simply
not boot at all - not even a re-boot belltone when I tried pushing the
reset switch on the side.

It started with an occasional lockup of the screen; a re-boot cured that.

It then progressed to screenlock _with_ a random pattern of black or white
pixels across the screen.  I could still get the machine to re-boot.

Finally, it would lock up, dead cursor, and when I tried to reboot, the
SAD MAC icon would come up with the following code sequence:

            00000005              or           00000004
            15001F00                           00003F00


Multiple tries at re-booting would bring up the same icon with changes in
the code sequence and the random across-the-screen pattern of pixels.

If anyone would be so kind as to post or E-mail to me directly a list of
sad Mac error codes, I would be most appreciative.

Hi! netters,

I am using Microsoft Word for Mac 4.0 at office while using Word for
Windows 2.0 at home. The problem I am having is that I need to make a
crossreference in my document to a footnote. It can be easily done in W4W
2.0 using Insert-Field-crossreffootnote. The crossref mark will be updated
when the referenced object being moved. HOwever, when I laod my doc in W4W
format in  to Mac I found W4M 5.0 have no crossref function. The crossref
mark was displayed as a common text and will not be updatd if I move the
referenced object to somewhere else. I'd like to ask,

1. What is the newest version of W4M? is v5.0 the latest one?

2. Is there any way to have W4M created a crossref?

3. Is there is Word version which fuctions in the same way on both Windows
and Mac, and even shared the same format for document files, like what Excel
4.0 does?

Please e-mail if you can help

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I just had the same experience with the MacInTax Geneva font and Word 5.0,
5.0a, 5.1 and 5.1a. The text in the Font Box (in the ribbon) and the text
in the Style Box (in the ruler) would become corrupted (an overwrite with
different spacing between letters) rather frequently.

After trashing the MacInTax Geneva fonts, and reinstalling the Apple 7.0.1
Geneva fonts all is well.
