Subject:      Last puzzle of TIM demo

Enough caffine and sugar and you can solve anything...
If you want to solve the last puzzle of TIM by yourself then delete this
message now!  You have been warned!   :)





*******SPOILERS********






Ok, here goes.  If you have a hard time following my directions send me
E-mail and I'll try to be a little more coherent...  :-)

Place both sprockets, one above the other, halfway down the "well" where
the baloon on the left is located.  Put them on the right side.  Connect
the top mouse to the top sprocket and the bottom sprocket to the lower
treadmill with the pullies.  Place the teeter-totter over the small
basket (slightly to the left so the basketball can fall into the basket.)
Attach the rope to the middle balloon -> the bottom of the balloon
should be on the same level as the bottom of the teeter-totter.  The
second teeter totter should be placed just below the brick wall (the
top one).  The mouse in the middle is connected via pulley to the treadmill
with the bowling ball.  Last thing -> the treadmill should be placed just
to the right of the middle mouse so the balloon (when it is pulled free
by the teeter-totter) hits the mouse cage...

Here's what SHOULD happen (hey it worked for me, play with it some or your
mileage will vary...)

The balloon to the left rises and starts the basketball treadmill.  The
basketball should roll up the teeter-totter and then go into the small
basket (positioning is important for both getting the ball in the basket
and pulling the balloon free...)  The teeter totter yanks the balloon out,
hits the treadmill which you placed, and starts the mouse running.  Now
the bowling ball runs off the edge to the right, rolls over the teeter totter
and drops into the large basket.

I didn't use either of the bottom sprockets and had one pulley left when
finished.  Oh, the password when you finish is JTP.

Good luck!

Hi gamers!

I am considering buying Infrogames 'Alone in the Dark' I wondered
if anybody has had good or BAD experiences with it? I have seen a
playable demo and this looked extremely good, however really good
graphics do not necessarily mean a really good game. Anyone got
any comments on the gameplay, and if the storyline lives up to the
PVR (pseudo-virtual-reality) graphics.


Anyway any comments will be most welcome

Some people run SIMWARE on their mainframes so that plain vanilla telnet
can be used from telnet clients that are unable to implement tn3270.

Is there something I don't understand here?  I thought the deference between
Telnet and TN3270 was that TN3270 consisted of 3270 terminal data streams
inside of IP packets.  All the mainframe has to do is unwrap the IP packets
and deliver the 3270 stream to VTAM or what ever.  If that is the case no
protocol conversion is going on in the mainframe.  There is a lot of over
head with the TCP/IP protocol itself, which is no where as efficient as
VTAM and SNA.  We have found this overhead to be acceptable for the vastly
increased flexibility that TCP/IP gives you.

All of the 3270 data stream creation is taking place on the PC, UNIX box,
or whatever.

Hi all, hope you can help me on this...

I'm using TN3270 (specifically: CUTE:2.2TN/TC-D) to link a PClone to
a mainframe.  In order to FTP between them easier, I'd like to know how to
disable the FTP password?  It is just a parameter in the CONFIG.TEL?  If
so, which one?

I know about using Alt-T to start a FTP session, but I'm trying to FTP from
a removed terminal...  As it is now, I have to 'fake' a login to the
mainframe using Alt-W so I can read the password when it errors out.

Thanks for any and all help,

    The American Women's Trans-Antarctic Expedition (AWE)

 Hello! As you read this, four women are preparing to walk 1500 miles across
Antarctica, in a four-month culmination to a project now several years old.
The American Women's Trans-Antarctic Expedition (AWE) is anxious to have
students and teachers around the country follow their trip as it happens.
These four women (aged 35-45, none bigger than 5'4" and 120 lbs) will be
pulling sleds weighing as much as 200 lbs across the continent under their
own power, without the aid of dogs or machines.

 They hope to draw attention to several themes: the fragility of the
environment and the importance of treating it with respect; the capacities of
people who work for their dreams; the potential of women to accomplish
difficult tasks; the importance of research in women's health issues; and the
power of education. The team will set out in November 1992 and hope to
complete the journey by March 1993.

On behalf of the team, I invite you to join in the mission, to read and think
and explore and share with students and teachers around the world. To receive
regular updates via telecommunication, send a message of request with your
        e-mail address to:

Subject:      Software to format documents

I know there are software packages that will format documents for a particular
style.  However, I have never seen a software package for APA style.  Does
anyone know of such a software package?

Could someone provide the address and phone for Asymetrix.  I would
like to request information from them regarding the purchase of toolbook.

Also, does anyone know if there is a discussion group for Toolbook?

Thank you for your assistance.

The American Psych Association distributes a software package (Mac, Pc or
AppleII format) which will foramt documents in their style. This is
included in a wordprocessing software.

Yep, that's the way we did it. So we have a laserdisk, a tv, a PC and a
PC screen. We hooked the laserdisk to the PC with a serial cable and
send commands to the laserdisk with a very simple quickbasic program.
