I don't know whether the 2.0v updater was ever released on the net,
but it was _DEFINITELY_ part of the More After Dark (MAD) package
which Berkeley Systems is _SELLING_...

It could just be that the updater 'messed things up.'  I would try
again...

Get Disinfectant 2.7.1, and then you can check again for viruses...
Old anti-virals are _worthless_ except for things like GateKeeper and
SAM Intercept which are "access limiters," not letting a program make
changes which are not expressly allowed.

There currently isn't any support for speeds faster than 2400.  They have
discussed adding 9600 baud service, but apparently 9600 baud service
isn't available via their carriers in all service areas yet, so they're
somewhat loath to do it.  They will add a surcharge for 9600 baud users.

Actually, the Memory Manager behaves badly enough that the system will start
paging rather soon; memory relocation has the same effect on paging as
'touch *' does on compiles :-). Can't give you anything in the way of specifcs

Hi,

I have a small problem involving 6 superpaint files that I cannot trash. I 
have an LC running system 7 (superpaint won't work unless I switch the monitor
to black and white). When I trash these files I get the message 'cannot trash 
files that are in use',......but they're not. The said files are not locked, 
and I previously had no trouble trashing several other superpaint files from 
the same folder. 

Any suggestions? They're only 60k but it's annoying.

Well, I've seen a commercial product called Metamorphosis that converts
between font formats--it handles Type 1 (both Mac and NeXT flavors), Type 3,
and TrueType.  I'm not sure if it does Windows-flavor TrueType (yes, they
are different--Mac fonts are stored as resources, which is a concept foreign
to Windows.  I expect that the font data is exactly the same, but it's
stored a little differently), but I was looking at this about 8 months ago.

Metamorphosis' Type 1->TrueType conversion (at least in the version I saw)
was not too great--it worked all right, but the results were abominably
hinted (if at all), so they tended to look rather ragged on screen at any
size below 24 point.  They looked fine on laser printers, though.

As far as FTP-able fonts go, mac.archive.umich.edu has a good selection of
free- and share-ware fonts, both Type 1 and TrueType.

Good luck,

UNLESS your intention is to share the DB across a network.  If that
is your goal, FM Pro is a bad choice, unless you have the resources
to dedicate a machine to FM PRO as a server.  This is Claris' only
solution to the instability of FM Pro on a network, and it IS unstable

Is there such as thing as a PowerBook-aware screensaver which does sensible
things on PowerBooks (as opposed to turning all the pixels black)? Turning
off the backlight would be a good idea, in order to save battery power while
keeping the machine at full functionality. Also, I hear rumours about ghosting
when running a 100/140 LCD display for long periods, so perhaps some kind
of screen saving (all pixels white?) would be a good idea in addition.

Alternatively, is there a NukeBacklight trap in the PB ROMs? Just wondered.
If so, I could probably knock up a DarkSide module to do the above.

Nick.

I don't have an immediate bug fix for this problem, since it doesn't happen

should have a new version out fixing this problem by the end of the month.
In the mean time, turn it off (by holding down the mouse button when it loads
or using any of the usual extension-disabling techniques) when you are going
to be initializing disks.  After all, you don't do it THAT often, do you?
Otherwise, it should be pretty stable.  And now back to my senior thesis...

Well, I'm not sure about this init, or why you'd want it, but
Spectre I know a little about. Spectre requires a 68020 or better
to run, *not* a 68020 specifically (sp?). That means it'd run on
a Quadra as well. 

I rented Spectre and played it on my IIsi for a while. Cool game,
but a bit dull after a while without any networks to play on.

cut and paste same into a new version of the scrapbook, and applications which

QuickTime is available free from ftp.apple.com, and is a great marketing
