If you just want to keep track of the revisions of single files you
could use my shareware program called Revisionist. It can ftpd from
many BBS. It manages any kinds of files and creates space efficient
deltas to reduce disk space needs.

If you look for a full version control tool (multi-user, multi-variant,
multi-components, ...) you could get happy with Voodoo, we are just
starting to bring to the market. It will be commercial, but you can
contatct me to get a demo version.

You can continue to believe, but the reality is that Atlanta will go to

You have to open up the file with Resedit and copy/paste the pictures into
your word processor.  Kind of a pain, but I assure you it's easier than 
actually creating TeachText docs with pictures in them.  BTW, I believe the
pictures are the PICT resources starting at 1000 and proceeding from

Followup-To: poster 
Organization: San Francisco State University
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 20:34:11 GMT

I'm sorry for not crossposting correctly last week. I've pulled
some of the posts, and will never do it again. Promise.

However, I did make a mistake in the Newsletter publication
timeframe -- this will be for the Spring '93 BMUG Newsletter. The
due date for articles is very soon -- October 31, 1992. Here's the
corrected text:

Dear Netters:

Newsletter Articles Wanted! Yes, That means you!

BMUG, formerly the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group and now just
BMUG, is requesting everyone to submit articles for our upcoming
Spring '93 Newsletter. They can be on anything that might be
of interest to a computer user.

The last issue had sections on hardware, software, System 7,
Desktop Productions (dtp+), programming, telecomm, PowerBooks,
computers in society, and commentary. How can there be so much? The
"newsletter" is around 450+ pages!

The articles don't have to be clones of the monthly rags that we
see on the news stands. We want real users, real solutions, and
real life stories!

If your article is accepted, you receive a six month membership in
BMUG, which includes the Newsletter, BMUG Memo (a small publication
that comes out every now and then), access to our BBS (16-lines),
notice of any special offers that developers make to our members, 
and use of our telephone HelpLine. I know this doesn't sound like
much to people that are connected through the InterNet, but you'd
also get thousands of people that don't see your signature everyday
oohing and aahing over your words. 

The deadline for submission is soon, October 31, 1992. The
Newsletter will be sent to our members in late January.

If this sounds like a good idea, please send your articles to 

Tim_Holmes@bmug.org  or         

snailmail on disk (a good way for insurance)

PS: If you sent in an article and think it was accepted -- and
haven't received your copy of the Newsletter yet -- please send an
inquiry to Tim_Holmes@bmug.org including the title of your article,
your snail address, and whatever else you might want to mention...

Subject: AutoDoubler 2.0 vs. GateKeeper 1.2.6
Organization: Syracuse University, CIS Dept.
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 92 02:21:31 EDT

Hey folks.  I just upgraded to AD 2.0 (and CopyDoubler too) from
version 1.0.7i.

What did I find?  Despite the fact that the virus-software README
file on the disk explicitly mentioned how to set up GateKeeper 1.2.6,
I found that both AD 2.0 and CopyDoubler conflict terribly with
GateKeeper.  (Not GateKeeper Aid, but GateKeeper, itself.)

The first symptom I saw was that, when *either* AD 2.0 or CD were installed,
every control panel (with an init resource, at least) set off gatekeeper,
trying to change Res(Self)--something to do with modifying the resource
map.

The first techie I spoke to was not familiar with the problem, but the second
said they were aware of it, that they had notified Chris Johnson of the
problem, and that it was something AD was doing (though it happened when
*either* AD or CD was installed) and that they hoped gatekeeper would fix
the problem in the next version.

Fine.  So I granted Res(Self) privileges to all the control panels, and
went on my merry way.

Then, I was running another app, and started getting repeated Res(Self)
veto messages, more resource map stuff.  Sorry I don't have specifics as
to which application--at this point I was fed up--I gave up, disabled
gatekeeper, and figured I'd just post a note here to see if anybody is
familiar with the problem.

So, any info?


Thanks in advance.

Followup-To: comp.sys.mac.misc

Yesterday I went to a demonstration of this tool called Powerplay.
Powerplay is used to generate all sorts of reports in a lot of different
ways.

At this moment we have a big Sales&Marketing tool written in 4D and we want
to generate reports with the data that is in the 4D database. We don't just
want to generate standard reports, but any information at any time must be
accessable to generate the reports we want. So, the standard report
facility in the Sales&Marketing tool is not sufficient.
Does someone know if Powerplay is the best solution to implement this
problem, or are there other more useful applications?
If someone is using Powerplay at this moment (DOS or Macintosh), can he/she
possible mail me some experiences? (how about building the definition file,
is it difficult?)
Well, that's it for the moment.

Thanks in advance,

Arjan!

If you just want to keep track of the revisions of single files you
could use my shareware program called Revisionist. It can ftpd from
many BBS. It manages any kinds of files and creates space efficient
deltas to reduce disk space needs.

If you look for a full version control tool (multi-user, multi-variant,
multi-components, ...) you could get happy with Voodoo, we are just
starting to bring to the market. It will be commercial, but you can
contatct me to get a demo version.

    I agree that the crossposting situation had gotten a little out of
hand, but I generally get tired of telling people that either they need
to set the Followup-To: line when they crosspost, or when they are
responding to a crossposted article, to make sure that only 1 newsgroup
appears in the Newsgroups: header line.

Well Al, I have used MapInfo, and enjoy it completely. It's no Autocad,
but it does the job nicely. It lets you input dxf files into your map,
and project sites onto it. Specifically we used the product to analyse
bathymetric soundings up north. We brought in the digitized coastlines
to MapInfo, and then overlaid the site files which were the bathymetric
sites. The sites can then be shaded according to their values, and
quite nice results come from this.

    No, your right. I'm sorry. You probably caught the only one of my
articles on this subject that I didn't restrict to c.s.m.hardware. When
I first saw this thread it was in c.s.m.comm and it annoyed my quite a

others hadn't and I realize now that might have been one or two posts of

Well, I have for sale an unused (from a Quadra package) Apple ADB mouse with
the heavy gray ball, made in USA.  Make an offer.

Some folks have discussed going to a local machine shop and getting a heavy
ball bearing of the exact proper diameter to replace the trackball in their
Powerbook; maybe such an approach would work for a standard mouse.  Then again
 maybe not; maybe the coefficient of friction between a steel ball and the
rollers wouldn't be sufficient.

Something I discovered works well:  clean everything thoroughly, then cover
your mouse pad with a piece of paper (tape the corners around on the back of
the pad).  This gives you the nice feel of the mouse pad without all the gunk
rolling up into your mouse.  You can change the paper easily when it becomes
yellowed with the sweat of your wrist.  :-)
