I have a friend who is need of a joystick for her Apple //e.  It should
be $10-$15, and be Apple-compatible (in other words, plug directly into
the joystick port in the back of the //e).

She is NOT interested in an Apple-brand joystick, however (for obvious
reasons :).

Please reply to the "Followup-To:" address, and not to me.  (A good news
reading program will do this automatically. :)

Thanks!

Set 'Translation' in Control Panel to 'Standard' (or whatever pleases you,
depending on how heavily your Sys.Resources is hacked, but don't chose 'None').
After that, you can access the Nifty Symbols (tm) via Option-Key.
There are several NDAs that display the actual key-mapping, but none of them
handle altered key mappings (e.g. German). It's a shame ;)

That's definitely the problem.  The tools you're using on a ROM 00 IIGS
are ancient, and no new versions of the operating system will know what to
make of them.  For that matter, no new software will either.  Once you've
gotten the upgrade, you'll run as best as WordPerfect will ever run.

It's still going....  (Boing, boing, boing, just like the Energizer

It's a very complex project -- the card is more complex than a IIe, almost
as complex as a IIGS.  It just takes time to get things working right and
then tested on a reasonable variety of systems.

First, what kind of file are you trying to unpack--ShrinkIt (.SHK) or
StuffIt (.SIT)?  Big difference...StuffIt is a Macintosh compression
algorithm that hasn't been ported to the Apple II.

If it's a ShrinkIt file, any recent version of ShrinkIt should be able
to unpack the file.  The amount of RAM in your system is irrelevant;
what matters is the amount of free space on your HD.

a straight connecting of one wire to another?  I've no experience with

I seem to remember that someone on this newsgroup/interest list recently
asked about the size of the Internet.  (Not that it has much to do with
AppleII's, but I'm sure it was here, because it struck me as being a
strange place to ask.)  Anyway, in going over some notes from the recent
National Computer Security Conference I ran across the information.
Within the last few months (the numbers are constantly going upwards at
an accelerating rate) it was estimated there are 1.3 million host
computers on the Internet, with an estimated 4.5 million total number of
users.  Note that the low ratio between those two numbers implies there
a lot of hosts with one or two or three users, e.g., individual
workstations.

Here is what I have found to be an easy way to transfer disk images
from apple to the .DSK format on the PC.

1) Use shrinkit to compress the Disk into an archive on your apple.
2) Transfer the the compressed file to the PC using a comm program on
   each end, such as ProTerm and Telix.
3) Use nulib to extract the compressed file into a disk image file on your PC.
4) Run the mapper program listed below on the disk image file, it reorders 
   the prodos sectors to DOS sectors.

Both shrinkit and nulib are available at cco.caltech.edu.

/* Code starts here: It's not pretty, but it works.

      printf ("Converts ProDOS sectors to DOS 3.3 sectors\n");
      printf ("Mapper Usage: \n");
      printf ("mapper <inputfile> <outputfile>");
      exit(1);
    }
    i = fopen(argv[1],"r+b");
    if (i == NULL)
    {
        printf("Error opening file %s for input\n",argv[2]);
        exit(1);
    }
    o = fopen(argv[2],"w+b");
    if (o == NULL)

        exit(1);
    }

Avatar, on the PC side of the world, is a terminal display
system, much like ANSI, as used on a communications program.  The
advantage of Avatar is that instead of sending every character
of, say, a bright cyan block of display (such as ANSI does),
Avatar will send the starting block and tell the receiving
terminal how many to make.  This gives Avatar a slight
performance advantage over ANSI--or even ProTERM Special.

What do you have in mind when you refer to wordprocessors (sic)?

There are certainly freely distributable text editors out there - 
FReDedit is the one that first comes to mind, followed by the newly freed
version of AppleWriter 2.1 (that's the ProDOS one isn't it?  When is
one of our Aladdins going to make it available for us?).  Either are

Is this kermit for the GS (ie, a s16/exe) or kermit for the //e (sys)?  If

The 65265 is not "a Cray on a chip". It is a microcontroller version of the
65816 -- meaning it has a 65816, some memory, and a bunch of built-in
peripherals. Every IIgs has something similar, but based on the 65c02; it's
the ADB microcontroller.

John,

I do remember Vitesse claimed their scanner is the "only" one that 
supports WestCode's InWords.  I also remember for the ThunderScan to be 
InWords compatible, you'll have to purchase a "update" kit from Vitesse, 
which gives you a new controller and software.  It went for about $80.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

A few more details would be useful:

- which version of the ORCA/C compiler are you using?
- which version of System Software are you running?
- is this an EXE file or a S16 file?
- if it is an EXE file, which version of the ORCA Shell do you have?

The above error message is usually generated by the Control Manager's
CMLoadResource call, which is used to load all resources associated
with windows, controls, menus, etc.  In this case it is looking for a
Pascal String (rPString) of ID 1, which would usually be the title for
the Apple menu.
