Subject: powerbook screen inversion
Reply-To:  ()

Date: Tue, 6 Oct 1992 19:12:37 GMT

I have a PowerBook 100, and I recently read somewhere in comp.sys.mac.hardware
that using a black background would reduce battery drain a little, by having
fewer pixels activated at any time.  A logical extension of this would be
something that could just invert all the pixels on the screen, so all the
normally white open windows would be black (off) with very few white (on)
elements, reducing the power draw.  Are there any programs/system hacks
out there to do this?  Any help would be appreicated.

You cannot directly connect a LocalTalk node into an Ethernet network. However
you may want to use a router or half-router to indirectly connect to ethernet.

A software package from Farallon Computing called "Liaison" can serve as a 
router.

I transfer them from the PC to my Mac. My Mac reads the disks

Subject: Mac LC II - What is going on??
Organization: Computer Science Dept, QMW, University of London
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 09:48:49 GMT


Hi,

I have purchased a Mac LC II 4/40 a month ago, and have
experienced some strange problems. I would really appreciate if
somebody could throw some light on these..

These problems happen with and without extensions/cdev/inits
loaded (I have pressed the shift key to disable them). They
also happen whether the monitor (a 12" color) is in b&w or
color mode.

I also have been unable to repeat them consistently (i.e. they
happen at no specific way, I mean, they may happen any
time, whether I have just turned the machine on or have been
using it for hours).

I must say that it does not happen very often, but just enough
to get worried.

problems:

1) Quite often, I get the message "application unknown
unexpetdly quit. Error of type 1 has occurred".

What does it mean? How to solve it? (once I got the same
message but with a 90 instead of 1).

If I run the same application again, it usually run ok. This
problem happened with the shareware game Susan and with the
comercial game Mutant Beach (among other applications)

2) This problem really worries me. When using an application,
sometimes the screen freezes up. When i move the mouse, I can
see it (the mouse) on one portion of the screen and on the
other portion it just disappears. For example, it happened to
me yesterday, and at about half of the screen I could not see
the mouse.

When this happens, I have to restart the machine.

It happened to me using the game Mutant Beach and (gasp!!!!)
using Microsoft Word 4 (and I lost some typing on that).

What is going on?

We have a similar problem with connections timing out when someone tries to send
a large file. (Large to Eudora appears to be anything over 30K). Our network is on
a campus LAN, but sub-netted so that traffic is not a problem. The subnet supports
Macs & Suns and is served by Decs. Try sending large files as attachments. If the
problem is with receiving, then I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree. Hope this
helps !

Hello, Netters !

	I am a member of a small user group here in Kristiansand,
Norway. Since I have direct Internet access, I am the main distributor
of new exciting software from all those free/shareware authors. 

	However, our main problem is to get all this wonderful
software distributed, we do have a scheme of a quarterly user diskette,
but somehow that can't incorporate as much as we would like to. 

	So, I have said I am willing to give access to my machine at
home (some 60 kilometers away) for some hours per week. I can borrow a
modem at work, and we have 3-4 modems which people in our user group
can borrow.

	Well, I need your help/suggestions/hints, what is the best
software for making my hard disk available to the people in the user
group:

	 FTP ? FileSharing ? Telnet ? UUCP ?


I am really not sure how this should be done, Finder-like interface
would be the best, but I realise that that could be difficult. Obviously we
would prefer share/freeware since we do not have that much money in
the group (and we are also saving to buy some more hardware).

	So, come on folks, there must be someone out there who have
been in a similar situation. Please respond with email, I will summarise
and post the results.

	
	Thanks ...!

Hi y'all.  Has anyone gotten the NCSA Telnet 2.5 built-in SLIP driver
to work on a Powerbook 100 yet?  I just can't get it to work, and the
documentation is remarkably unhelpful.  On startup, telnet paints the
NCSA greeting, then complains "Could not initialize hardware level
network driver".  It then complains about not being able to open my
config file even if I open it from the specify-another-config-file
dialogue.  I can open a serial connection, but the Session menu item
remains gray, preventing me from switching to SLIP mode.  The config.tel
is setup with hardware=Serial and host entries for default, my gateway,
and my nameserver.  I've tried stripping all extraneous items (blank lines,
comments, even extra whitespace) but to no avail.

I know my cable setup is fine...on the corresponding port on the NOS-
box, "tip" lets me receive and send bytes from the Mac without any problem.
KA9Q (alias MacNet) has no trouble talking SLIP over the same connection.

I'm running a PB100 6/20 with System 7.0.1+tuneup1.1.1 the system network
extensions and cdevs disabled via Extension Manager.  The serial port is
configured for 19200, 8n1, printer port.

Help!

David:

I've been using MacIntercomm for almost a month and a half now.  They were  
showing pre-release copies at MacWorld, and then started shipping I think.

It is an absolute dream to say the least.  Despite the fact that every  
other comm program crashes or aborts a file transfer when you do anything  
during it, MacIntercomm does not.  It has a special option called  
"Pre-emptive Multitasking" where it makes it impossible for it to not get  
enough background time for your transfers.  This means that I can now play  
a game, format disks, boot applications, or anything else that I would not  
have wanted to do before for fear of it aborting my transfer.  Also, I  
have found the transfer protocols to be better in the first place.  They  
have Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem.

The emulation also blows away everything else I've used.  It has all 16  
colors of PC-ANSI instead of the normal 8, and supports VT102, VT220, and  
PC-ANSI.  Their emulation is some of the best I've seen, and is the only  
program I can use on the systems here without frequent problems.  And,  
probably my favorite feature is the scroll bar.  Instead of a normal  
scroll bar, the thumb on the bar makes the text move as you move it  
instead of moving after you let go of the thumb.  This has made scanning  
my scrollback buffer a lot easier.

Anyway, the number in the about box is (310)553-0881.  Also, I saw ads for  
it in this month's (November) issue of MacUser and MacWorld.  It think it  
was Mac's Place that was selling it.  It's made by Mercury Systems.  I  
called them recently and they said they were shipping a major scripting  
language upgrade in 2-3 weeks free to all users.

Does anyone have a listing of the Hayes command set?  I have come into
posession (temporarilly) of a v.32 19.2 modem (Hayes Compatible).
Unfortunately, it didn't come with any documentation.  I can use it from
programs that use the communications toolbox (with the Hayes modem tool) --
that works fine.  But I can't get it to work with any of the p.d. terminal
programs I'm used to working with.  I suspect it's that the hayes
connection tool puts the modem in a specific mode using some at command set
command that I'm not familiar with.  The upshot of all this is that if
anyone has a listing of the Hayes command set for v.32 compatible modems,
could you send it to me?  Thanks!
