This is a response to a post about using Kolor 2.0 with System 7.

When Apple designed those fancy 3-d shaded windows and scroll bars
(with those cute color tinges selected in the color control panel)
for System 7, they changed the way the system stores its coloring
information.  I believe that the "Kolor" control panel was designed
to work with the old System 6 color information.  As a result, even
if you could get Kolor to work with System 7, you'd revert to the
old System 6 style monochrome windows (except those windows would
now be drawn in the colors you specified).

Another utility to colorize windows/menus/etc. is a shareware program
called Colorize.  I don't think it's on SUMEX, but I think you might
find it on mac.archive.umich.edu.  It lets you colorize each application
individually, which makes sense considering that some applications don't
like it when their windows are colorized (for instance, the Finder
insists on erasing things to white).  Colorize suffers from the same
problem as Kolor in that it uses the System 6 color information.

If you want to colorize your menus, dialog boxes, and Finder windows,
you could try out my shareware ($10) control panel, "Greg's Buttons".
It doesn't disturb the System 7 color information, and it gets around
the problem I mentioned above about coloring the windows in the Finder.
Yes, this is a shameless plug, so I won't waste any more bandwidth...

Hi,

I'd like to hear from people who use MacroMedia's MacroModel 3D package.
I'm especially interested in it's rendering speed, what external rendering
packages are recommended, and if and how it is possible to create
animations with it.

I'm planning to use it in a broadcast video production environment.
A Truevision NuVista board will be used to export the results to 
videotape.


Please reply via email or cc: me if you post.


Thanks

I use both WP5.1/DOS and Word 5.1/Mac.  IMHO, the key advantage of
WP5.1/DOS on a DOS system, e.g., speed through function key commands,
have essentially NO value on the Mac, where Word seems much more
versatile, anyway.  One reason you may find so many books on WP/Win is
that it is a real PITA to use, a problem that does NOT plague Mac users
of either WP _or_ Word.

Regardless of the ratio of WP/Win to WP/Mac books, I doubt that your
mother will find the need for either with a Mac, as both program's
manuals are pretty good.  Myself, I've never even SEEN a WP/Mac book.

While it still has some improvements in the printing department, I am very
pleased with DayTimer 2.0, by Pasterl Development Corporation. It gives you
the maximum flexibility of keeping track of contacts, plus a to so list,
calendar, recurring scheduling functions, etc. Version 2.0 has a limited
version of Dynopage, which allows you to print your info into Daytimers,
etc. Very handy.

Both Retrospect and FastBack Plus will do that. I'm kind of partial to
FastBack Plus. It's easier to use than Retrospect and seems to work well.

A couple of years ago my department bought 7 or 8 copies of a program called MacSPICE
from a company called Deustche Research.  These were to be used in an undergraduate
lab.  Time passed and it came time to re-format the hard drives in the lab.  Now
however the MacSPICE can't be reinstalled... even with a virgin install disk it 
complains that it requires the master disk (remember it _used_ to work)

I've gotten it installed on our one removable hard drive by using an old IIx which I
didn't reformat.  This isn't much help.  We have approximately 15 students in the lab
at any given time.  

I've contacted the company and the only solution they would offer is to sell us a new
version of the software at full cost that uses a dongle.  

Does anyone know of a solution for this problem?  We are trying are hardest not to
ever deal with Deustche again for obvious reasons.  They do however seem to have a 
better interface than PSPICE IMHO.

I just installed FileMaker Pro 2.0 (v1 9/92) on my 8MB IIci running
6.0.7.  When I use my normal large complement of INITs, launching FM
Pro 2.0 causes it to freeze during the initial splash screen.  When I
cut back to a minimum set of INITs, FM Pro 2.0 launches and runs fine.
Before I embark on a series of experiments where I turn off individual
INITs and combination of INITs (I recommend a binary search), I thought
I would check the Net.

Has anyone experienced INIT conflicts with FM Pro 2.0?  If so, what
INIT(s) were the culprit(s)?

Please email, I'll summarize.

can be imported to other FreeHand files, Illustrator files, Quark pages, etc. with 
no problem. 
    However, if I try to open the EPS file in Adobe Photoshop, it looks like a

either missing, randomly scattered about or distorted into new shapes.
    My FreeHand 2.0 never gave me this problem. Anyone know why this is 
happening, and/or how to stop it?

That's interesting. I wonder why Tax Cut is being bundled with

    BeHierarchic was a little slow at startup, as it updated its data file,
    but I don't recall it taking that long, even on my LC, although I never
    used it on a PowerBook. If you've already got the latest/last version of
    BeHierarchic (1.0.5, I think), it might be worth looking at the commercial
    version which replaced it, called Kiwi Power Menus. In this, according
    to the blurb, 'the startup slowdown has simply been designed away'. I've
    been using KPM for about six months now, and I haven't had any
    problems with it. When it first came out, registered BeHierarchic users
    could buy it for $12, but I think that offer's expired now. The normal
    retail price, quoted in the introductory letter to registered users, is
    $39.95 (which I think's a touch on the expensive side - but as I only
    had to pay $12 I wasn't bothered). There is a demo version available,
    which I could send to you if you like; it's restricted in that it only
    expands the Control Panels folder, but I suppose you could dump a load
    of folder aliases in there temporarily and time the startup sequence, to
    see if it's worth buying for you. The main enhancements to KPM, apart
    from bug fixes and the performance improvement, were custom font/size in
    the Apple menu, plus 'DeepLevel' menus (ie. no practical limit to the
    number of nested folders); it also checks for recursive use of folder
    aliases, and tags them as 'Redundant Menus'. Kiwi's 'phone number is
    1-800-321-5494.

As several folks pointed out here and in private messages, the answer
lies in having the same image size. I thought they were the same, since
I could overlay one image on the other, but I guess I must have been
off by a pixel or two. I finally managed to get things to work by
placing a frame (transparent rectangle) around each object (using
Canvas). There are, of course, other ways to do this.
