Subject: .z files and .Z files NOT the same thing

    Following recent discussion about downloading from the
src.ic.doc.uk archive, I would like to add the following:

    This archive uses gzipped files (.z suffix) which should be
decompressed with the Mac version of Gzip.  Previously, the files at this
archive were compressed (.Z files, that's a capital Z) and could be
decompressed with the UNIX utilities or with the Mac version MacCompress,
but this no longer works.

    Another workaround is the use the + character as the FIRST
character of your password when you log in, that way all you see are .hqx
files which you can download as ASCII.  The disadvantage is that this uses
greater bandwidth.

    Personally, I have has trouble getting gzip to work, but that's
because its interface is axkward, to say the least.  Something a little
easier to use would be most welcome.

Subject: 2MB SIMMs in a IIci - it works!

Dear Netters

I read a lot of opinions about plugging 2MB SIMMS into a IIci. I don't want to
be the one destroying some of Your theories, but I am running such a
configuration and it works pretty well.

About one year ago now I upgraded my IIci from 4 to 12 MB, keeping my 1MB
SIMMS
and buying four 2MB SIMMS. A few weeks ago I read in Info-Mac Digest, that in
a
ci the higher value SIMMS always have to be plugged into bank A. So I removed
the 1MB SIMMS from bank A, plugged the 2MB SIMMS into it and mounted the 1MB
SIMMS in bank B. After starting my Mac instantly recognized the memory and is
running perfectly. In July it will be one Year now running this configuration
without any problems and I use the machine several hours a day.

I'm not a Mac specialist concerning hardware, I just use it as a tool, so I
can't explain why and how that works.

I am looking for a version of Basura that will work under 7.1; until I
switched over from 7.0.1, it worked without a hitch. For those who don't
know what it does, if you have an item selected in the Finder and hit
cmd-opt-del, it will throw that item in the trash and empty it right away.
It is hard to appreciate how convenient this can be without trying it for a

This is a second attempt at finding out this info, I hope this time some

Two New Text Editors for the Macintosh(R)

Natick, MA -- Rich Siegel, author of the critically acclaimed text
editor "BBEdit", has announced the release of two new
high-performance text editors: BBEdit 2.5 and BBEdit Lite.

BBEdit 2.5 includes support for integrated software development in
tandem with THINK C(TM) version 6.0 from Symantec Corp., as well as
the rest of Symantec's development tools for the Macintosh,
including THINK(TM) Reference 2.0 and THINK Pascal (TM) 4.0. BBEdit 2.5
provides the ability to browse and search source files contained
within THINK C and THINK Pascal project documents. In addition to
support for Symantec's tools, BBEdit 2.5 provides integrated
support for MPW(R) ToolServer(TM) version 1.0, and the "411" reference
system, both from Apple Computer, Inc. BBEdit 2.5 includes other
developer-oriented features, such as an integrated utility for
comparing differences between two text files, extensibility via
"drop-in" code resources, and powerful "grep" searching and
replacing.

Michael Kahl, the creator of THINK C, says "BBEdit complements
whatever programming tool I'm using. I particularly rely on its
powerful searching abilities." Leonard Rosenthol, Director of
Advanced Technology for Aladdin Systems, says that "BBEdit is well
worth the price. I highly recommend it to anyone doing Mac
programming."

As a general-purpose text editor for engineers, on-line service
users, and other Macintosh users who need to edit plain-text files,
BBEdit 2.5 offers integrated translation of foreign file formats
via Claris XTND(TM) translation; a disk browser for easily viewing any
translatable file on any mounted volume; high-performance searching
of entire directories of text files; and facilities for
transforming text in a variety of ways.

The suggested retail price of BBEdit 2.5 is $99. A discounted price
of $49 is available for users of previous versions of BBEdit, as
well as for current owners of THINK C, THINK Pascal, MPW, QUED/M(TM),
Vantage(TM), and the shareware editor Alpha. For more information, and
for information on quantity pricing or site licenses, contact the
address above.

BBEdit Lite is an improved version of the popular free text editor
BBEdit 2.2. It is free, and available for downloading from most
popular on-line services and Internet archive sites. BBEdit Lite
provides some of the additional text-transforming functionality
found in BBEdit 2.5; however, in order to better serve the needs of
the on-line community, some functionality has been removed in order
to make it easier to download, and to lower its memory and disk
footprint.

BBEdit Lite is also available directly from the author; users
wishing to obtain a floppy disk should send $5.00US to the address
above. Users of BBEdit Lite can upgrade to BBEdit 2.5 at any time
with payment of a $49 upgrade fee, as described above.

Both BBEdit 2.5 and BBEdit Lite are compatible with system software
versions 6.0.7 and later, including system software versions 7.0
and 7.1; both programs are also compatible with A/UX(R) version 3.0
and later.

InfoMacFolks--can you forward this, please; Bill's Compuserve Number is
76703,1027. I do not know how to get this message to him, however; feel free
to return comment to me on the contents of this letter. Thanks

To: Bill Steinberg,

Your Bootman 1.1 (original, and APS version) has been an *education* and a
*lifesaver* more than once! (Setups: SE/Plus/IIcx; Systems
6.0.5/6.0.5-CHInese/6.0.8; Finder = max 400K memory or less; NO System Seven
thus far...; Desktop Manager; DiskExpress II [optimizing]; DiskDoubler 3.7.7
[compressing]; 1.5 Gigabyte Micropolis with 9 partitions, smaller to largest;
323 Megabyte Micropolis, 4 unequal partitions; 40 Megabyte Quantum, no
partitions; 80 Megabyte IIcx-internal Quantum; each setup always using 10 to
15 or more INITs, 147 fonts, many files [e.g., 10,000+ on 323 Meg
Micropolis], etc.)

Thanks much for such an elegant product.

Two Questions:

* Where might I find a Bootman more recent than version 1.1 (one point one)?
* Under what conditions might a user of "System 7.x.?" benefit from any
version of Bootman?

Subject: Brilliant Eudora hack wanted (again) (Q)

    Sure enough, I de-lurk, and I've got a question instead of an
answer. Oh well. Here's my question: a while back, someone posted an
extremely clever way to use Eudora by hijacking the spool file over
>From your UN*X account and setting Eudora to point to it as one of its
files. I remember the gist of the hack, but I can't remember the
specifics of it, and I can't remember the method the original poster
used to send outgoing messages (I remember them saying that it was
tricky, though (big help, eh? ;))).
    Since my (admittedly somewhat brain-damaged) search of the
digest archives yielded not what I was looking for, could somebody
(hopefully the original author) repost the hack (I read the digest
religiously) or e-mail it to me? Or, better yet, make it into a report
and submit it to the archives. I know I'm not the only one who can
make use of this.

I also recommend Easy View's built-in section clipping feature. I now can
clip any section (such as this message) I wish to keep and place it in one
of various chapters such as _Clips-New Software_ or _Clips-Misc._.

These chapters are then filed in their own **Info-Mac-Clips** folder, which
Easy-View organizes into my own ~personalized~  Info-Mac archive.

As some of you can see, I also appreciate the Styles_ available; esp. when
they're used with the restraint shown by Mr. Engst.

What I wish to know, though, is why only ~some~  Info-Mac quotes display in
the correct style. For instance, I transferred this message into one of my
existing Digests; all the styles work correctly, except quotation. Any
ideas?

Subject: Excel 4.0 & Arrow keys...

Microsoft strikes again...

As some of you may remember, I was having the problem in Excel 4.0 that, when
I hit the down arrow key, instead of moving down a cell the spreadsheet would
scroll down a line.  As I learned today from Denis Gauthier of Quebec, the
solution is to hit the F14 key (as should have been intuitively obvious to all
:-).  Needless to say, I am VERY grateful to Denis Gauthier for revealing this
mystical magical secret (which he told me he got from a friend who uses the PC
version).

I would like to point out that AFTER I had this solution I decided to look in
the manual to see the documentation on this (ok, so I'm lazy- I should have
looked first, but as you'll soon learn, it wouldn't have done me any good
anyway).  Did I find anything in the index under F14? No (though F1 through
F12 WERE documented!!).  Did I find anything in the index about scrolling
relating to the arrow keys?  No.  Did I find anything in the Appendix "Using
the Keyboard w/Microsoft Excel"?  No.

In other words, the Manual was TOTALLY useless (or am I just so incompitent
that I didn't know the "right" place to look???).  I defy anyone to find the
documented reference to this "feature".  Anyway, the only reason I mention
this is to provide SPMS (Society for the Prevention of MicroSoft) with a
little more amunition...

Hope this interests someone...

Subject: Extension to turn on 32-bit addressing automatically?

Hello everyone!!
    Okay, I use both 7.1 and 6.0.8 on my mac with 9 mb ram.  Anyways, when
    I
run system 6.0.8, I turn off 32-bit addressing from system 7 before rebooting
into 6.0.8.  However, when I switch back to 7.1, I have to boot into 7.1
first,
turn on 32-bit addressing and then restart, thus waiting again for my
extensions
and controls panels to parade across the bottom of my screen.  So, is there a
way to turn on 32-bit addressing from system 6.0.8, or is there an extension
out
there which can automatically set your computer to 32-bit addressing upon
booting into system 7??  If there isn't, wouldn't this be a nice little hack
for
someone to make??  The extension would be the first init to load, checking to
see whether 32-bit addressing is on, and then turning it on if it isn't.

Subject: file organization

I see that the recently submitted After Dark FAQ has been placed in the /ad
directory, but on deeper reflection, it seems as this file might be also
suitable for the /help directory. This is only an example of many other such
files, and I think that these should be cross-listed in all of the directories
that apply (usually only two). If Sumex is a unix box, it shouldn't be a
problem. I suggest this only as a temporary solution to the directory
structure chaos(?); a complete overhaul is definitely needed, but that'll take
some time.

Subject: Folder Capacity Limit (R)


 Hello netters,

 I was worried about exceeding the number of files that Mac folders
 can hold.  [I have some 5000 text files on a 240 mb drive.]

 To summarize the responses:

 I did not find the actual technical limit that a folder can contain.
 The integer 2 to some exponent??  [Anybody know which?]
 Exceeding a couple of hundred of files slows down access considerably.

 Especially helpful answers are paraphrased below.

 Tom Lane and Jonathan Baker both suggested that I was under the
 limit, and not to worry about the depth of nesting but to pay
 attention to the total number of files on the volume/partition/disk.
 Use the archived "info-mac/util/disk-bug-checker-11.hqx" to check
 how full your catalog and extent files are.
          ([e-mail] and [e-mail])

 Harald Herchen attests to having upwards of 1400 files in one folder
 and gives the nested folder limit at about 20-21 levels deep.
 Disk access is slowed after 7000 files are reached, so he spreads
 the load around with 5 partitions [total 19,000 files] on a Quantum
 Quantum 240mb drive.
          ([e-mail])

 If anybody has anything to add to the above,please let me know and
 and I'll repost a fuller answer.

 Also if you know of good grep, egrep, or awk tools outside of Nisus
 or the archived utilities [MacGrep, egrep, and MacGawk] please let
 me know and I'll summarize that too.

 Thank y'all.

Can anyone out there help me out with accessing a gopher internet site via the

difficulty accessing the site.  Do you need any special software to
successfully
pull this off?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Humor in the Digest

Let me add my 2 cents worth to the discussion generated by the "Clinton"
and "Limbaugh" postings.  I agree that humor and poking fun at public
figures are legitimate things to do.  My objection to the "Clinton" posting
is its lack of recognizable humor.  Humorous criticisms of Clinton's
policies are legitimate, but I see no sense (even metaphorical) in which
those policies can be compared to "holding America for ransom".  Having not
forgotten the Khomeni regime and the hostage taking in Iran, I find that
phrase offensive.  It is almost like accusing the Jews of persecuting the
Nazis!
So my recomendation for the Digest is:
Humor - Yes.  Humorless politics - No.

I work for a consulting firm that has four major partners almost always in
four different parts of the country. I want to maintain close ties with each
of the partners by computer, with a system that easily allows e-mail, file
sharing, update and read access to a calendar (?) and conferencing (?). All
four
partners have portable computers, two powerbooks and two pcs, and the home
office has a pc and (soon) a mac.

I need some advice on what kind of setup allows the applications listed above
at a reasonable cost (for a five-person operation). Do I set up a BBS? If so,
what kind? Can I tweak ARA to meet our needs? What kind of mac at home should
I get? I am reasonably technically savvy, and would be prepared to customize
systems, but I don't really know what to use. I've had a look at First Class
a little and it seems nice, but it looks like it might turn out to be
expensive
to put the whole thing together.

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Not completely satisfied LW Select 300 user

So, I opted for the Select 300, thinking:  it will be better to have
GreyShare, FinePrint, and PhotoGrey, than PostScript level 1.  Was I
right?  Not clear:

Yes, vanilla text prints just fine.  It's pretty speedy.  Speedier than
my HP Deswriter.  Crisper than my LaserWriter NT (at work).  I can print
nice greys (somtimes).  Works fine with FoP (via QD) for my PostScript
output.  Prints (simple) drawings from Freehand very nicely.  But, ...

Doesn't work with Adobe TypeAlign.  Adobe:  "Apple knows about the
problem and is working on a new version of the driver".  Apple:  "You
should check with Adobe to make sure their product is compatible with
this new driver".  Well, I don't use TypeAlign that much any more, but
it's disappointing to think that I can't print any of my old docs where
I did.

Makes a big mess (i.e., non-uniform, blobby, line widths, curves turn to
straight lines, etc.) out of freehand curves in a PICT I cut an pasted
>From MacDrawII.  Apple:  "You should check with your vendor".  Well, I
don't want to upgrade MacDraw, I don't use it now that I have Freehand.
One would think that a QD printer ought to be able to print a venerable
old PICT file!

Worst of all, in both foreground and background, on drawings of any
complication exits with "error of type 1", or "unexpectedly quits".
Shades of the HP drivers!  After 18 hours of verifying installation,
sorting through inits, etc., etc., 2 hours on the phone with Apple Tech.
Support, no joy.  I think to myself "I thought only DOS users had to put
up with stuff like this?"

Oh well, I guess I have to learn to stop buying version 1 of anything!

I have been shopping around for a protable printer for my new powerBook and
am not having much luck - until maybe now.

Here's what I HAVE found:

    1) I don't want to have to deal with "The Grappler" or some other 3rd
    party device to get a printer to work.  So I need one designed for a
    Mac

    2) The GCC WriteMove II LOOKS good, but is a dog on closer
    inspection.
    It can only print about 15 pages per battery charge, and a single
    thermal ribbon is used up in 25-35 pages.  Yuck!

But I have stumbled on an item of interest and was wondering if any of you
knew anything about it, or had used one.  Here's the scoop:

    MobileWriterPS Portable Page Printer
    6ppm
    PostScript Compatible
    Apple LaserWriter IINT Emulation
    AppleTalk I/O
    Built in 80 page Sheetfeeder
    Battery or AC operation
    has a built in parallel port for DOS & Windows w/ auto-switching
    150 pages per battery charge
    Will do transparencies (it's a thermal transfer printer)
    Same size & color as a PowerBook, weighs 8 pounds
    Ribbon good for 150 pages
    35 resident PS compatible fonts
    Cost: $999.00 list

Any comments?  I appreciate all info - this sounds pretty good!

My collegue owns a Quadra 950, using system 7.1 operating system, german
version. After upgrading the operating system with the Hardware System Update
1.0 he noticed that the program after-dark, star-trek version does not
function properly: the screen saver elements do not move on the screen,
everything stands still; but when oerating the screen saver from the after
dark program directly by operating the demo button the program behaves
normal.
Question: Are there any problems known using the 7.1 patch? Could the problem
be traced back by a possible incompatibility of the german version of the
operating system and the english version of the patch?.

Subject: Protest IIvi cancellation! Call to arms

After purchasing about 100 Macs and associated products for my place of work
plus four Macs for personal use, over the years, I've become inured to the
fact
that no matter when you buy one, a better one will be available for less money
within a month or two.

However, the recent introduction and cancellation of the IIvi within the space
of 6-7 months is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. People like me
who bought a vi have been sold an Edsel, and I think we should protest in the
strongest possible terms.

Although I ordered my vi not long after it was introduced, Apple Canada's
shipping schedule didn't deliver it until four months ago. Yesterday a
colleague
across the hall bought one (at my suggestion) for $1000 less than I paid,
because it was now a discontinued model. ($250 per month depreciation!). Of
course the money hurts, but even worse is the principle: when you buy a Mac
you
ought to be able to expect to have a current model for at least a year or so,
not 6-7 months!

(Please spare me the arguments that I got use out of my Mac before it was
dicontinued ($250/month worth???), and that the machine is still as functional
as it ever was, etc. I've read this list for several years, and I think I've
heard al the arguments. What I'm talking about is depreciation of a business
expense.)

If you purchased a vi, I hope you will join me in protesting in the strongest
possible terms to Apple. The only way in which I think Apple can make this
better is to offer IIvi owners an upgrade path at a cost greatly reduced from
the current one. Perhaps a lobby will have some effect.

Canadian vi owners can write (as I have already done) to

 ------------------------------------------

Apple Upgrades QuickTime Multimedia Architecture

Dateline:  CUPERTINO, California--April 21, 1993

Product Description
    The latest upgrade to Apple's QuickTime multimedia architecture
software, version 1.6, is designed to improve performance, and the
use of sound and graphics.
    QuickTime 1.6, an extension to System 7, contains all the features of
previous versions of QuickTime, including the ability to cut, copy,
and paste dynamic data, such as video, sound, and animation with the
same ease-of-use the Macintosh has always provided with graphics and
text.  The features of QuickTime 1.6 will be implemented on the
Macintosh platform first, and later on Windows and UNIX platforms.
    The new upgrade includes Sound Manager 3.0, an enhanced version of
system software for recording and playing digital sound on Macintosh
computers.

Significance
    Apple believes the new upgrade will enhance customers' use of
dynamic data types by significantly improving performance, sound, and
graphics support.
    Performance: With QuickTime 1.6, movies play back more than 10
percent faster than QuickTime 1.5 movies, giving customers smoother
and better movie playback.
    Sound Manager 3.0: The new Sound Manager provides customers using
third-party sound cards with the ability to input and play back CD-
quality 16-bit sound from QuickTime movies. Apple intends for the
Sound Manager 3.0 to be licensed to and distributed by third-party
hardware and software developers, who need or have products that can
benefit from high-quality sound. In addition to support for high-
quality sound, customers will be able to import sound from CD sources
directly into QuickTime 1.6 movies.
    Graphics support: By supporting Apple's color-matching technology,
ColorSync, QuickTime 1.6 will ensure that colors in a movie played on
one color monitor will be the same when played on any other color
monitor. QuickTime will support the full range of colors, from 1-bit
black and white to 32-bit color, allowing customers to play QuickTime
movies on a wider range of Apple computers, including the 4-bit gray-
scale PowerBook and Duo computers. In addition, QuickTime 1.6 will
enhance the text-track feature introduced in QuickTime 1.5 by
supporting smoothed, TrueType text. This enhancement means that when
a QuickTime movie that includes text is re-sized, jagged edges of the
text will smooth out.

Memory requirements: Finally, QuickTime 1.6 will require almost 90
percent less memory than QuickTime 1.5 when installed, giving
Macintosh customers with entry-level machines more flexibility when
installing QuickTime.

Availability
    QuickTime 1.6 will be available in May 1993. Apple plans to bundle
QuickTime 1.6 into the System 7.1 upgrade kit and with all new
Macintosh computers. In addition, Apple plans to distribute QuickTime
1.6 through a variety of bulletin boards and user groups. QuickTime
1.6 will also be available with many Macintosh third-party
applications. Customers can call 1-800-769-2775  ext. 6596 to get
QuickTime 1.6 shipped directly from Apple for a U.S. $10 shipping and
handling fee.

Pricing
    Bulletin boards, user groups and resellers may charge a nominal fee
for materials, labor, and connect time. Apple also offers developer
licensing programs.  Pricing for these programs may vary.

System Requirements
    QuickTime runs on Macintosh computers equipped with a 68020 processor
or better, 4MB of memory, and versions 6.0.7 or later of the
Macintosh operating system.

Subject: REPLY TO FILE SHARING QUESTION

To be able to determand what computer on the network is what login you must
do one of two things:

1.  turn off GUEST access and set up a group called GUEST.  Create users
    for each computer on the network.  If you go around to each computer
     and setup each one with a special name and set it up for AUTO login,
    you will have a 90% chance of knowing who it is...  if you turn off GUEST
    each user whould have to have a USERNAME and if you wanted a PASSWORD.

2.  another way is to setup the system like above and purchases a program
    like radar, interpoll, or some other network managment utility that
    will show the devices on the net and there network Identity.  remember
    in the sharing control panel, you setup the NETWORK IDENTITY for each
    computer and that one Identity MUST be different than any other one on the
    net.  You can see who is on and what machines they are using.  Some of
    these utilities allow you to DISCONNECT users from there not from the
    file sharing status control panel.

We run a 5 lab (60+ machines) network.  We are running appleshare 3.?? and
the display we get showed GUEST for all users.  we wanted to be able to send
messages only to special numbers (different rooms have different sets up
#'s).
and disconnect only certain users.  we TURNED OFF  GUEST access and set up
a group called PUBLIC .  we then created 409 users named mac # 1, Mac # 2,
Mac # 3, Mac # 4.  In a Student lab we can ID these macs this way.  You may
want to name the mac the name of the User or the department where it is
located.
This works good since the user cannot ! get to the finder (we are using ATEASE
as a security program.)  they cannot change the login and its set to AUTO
login
anyway so we have no real problem with that and we can (with a great
confidence)know that we are sending the message to the right users and or
disconnecting
the right user.

Powerless is what you want.  A svelt, 20K application with cool, clean
interface, Powerless lets you schedule an unattended system shutdown
*or* restart at a specified time each day.  It has a special feature
that makes it perfect for the Startup Items folder in that it can
quietly start up and stay in the background without coming to the front
and making you dismiss it.

It can be set to shutdown or restart in two ways: 1) at a specific time,
or 2) after so much time has elapsed from the present.

Powerless lets you customize it to run just the way you want with
features such as advance notification and warning beeps.  It remembers
your last setting for future use so you don't have to set the time again
unless it changes.  It remembers its window position on the screen.  All
these and more nice features (like auto-repeating of digits when you
click and hold the mouse button down when setting the time), sets it
apart from other programs.

There is a demo version on sumex in the utils folder as power-less-10b3.hqx.

Give BBEdit a try. It's fairly lean (the upcoming BBEdit Lite is
even leaner), and does what you need. It defaults to Monaco, but
you can change that to Courier (or any other font or size). There's
also a bunch of other useful stuff in there, such as multi-file
searching.

It's free. You can find it in /info-mac/app on sumex.stanford.edu,
or in /ftp/pub/bbedit on world.std.com, as well as on most other
popular Internet archive sites.

Subject: Slight Mixup

Sorry about this but the small application I just uploaded
called "Linear Regression Pro version 2.0 should have REPLACED
the file weighted-xy-fits.hqx.
Could you please remove weighted-xy-fits version 1.1
but keep LinearRegressionPro.hqx on your sites.
Thank You

Subject: Still looking for Buffy sound...Anyone?

Well, if you remember my first posting I am looking for the quote from
Buffy the Vampire Slayer that was during the credits and went something like
this..."They were animals.  They had evil in their eyes.  I think they were
young Republicans."  I have searched numerous ftp sites and still cannot
find it.  If anyone has this quote, orows where I can find it, or ahs
the equipment to record it for me (prefereable in System 7 format) I would
really appreciate it.

    Thanks (again) in advance...

    I have a MacIIci (i.e. no microphone-that's why I cannot do it
    myself.)

Subject: Test Bank Software (Q)

Does anyone know of any sources for Test Bank software for the Macintosh?
(That is, software for generating multiple-choice printed tests?)
I am aware of LXR-Test and MakeTest, and I want to know if there
are any others.

For the past 5 years we have been using MS Word (via Print Merge) but this
is rather klutzy, and we are seeking something better.

In particular, we need test bank software that will (a) accept graphic
PICT images like drawings and equations from MathType, (b) randomly select
the question variation, randomize the answers, randomize the question order,
(c) permit a "prelude" to a group of questions, which are then kept together
as a unit (for example, "The following drawing pertains to questions 12-15."
--Of course the "12-15" would be changed to reflect the new numbers each
time.)

Experience and advice appreciated!

Subject: Times 11 points bitmap

Hello!
Does anyone have a 11 points bitmap-version of the Times font?
I dont think the truetype version make a good mapping in 11 point size,
but hope a bitmap version would look better on the screen.

Subject: TurboGopher Bookmark Longforms

I'm curious if there is a long form of the TurboGopher bookmark (i.e., a
complete address) that can be extracted and transferred to other machines.
I've found several neat things in GopherSpace that I'd like to pass along
to others, but in most cases, I don't recall the search strategy that I
used to find them in the first place.

What's the best way to do this?  I e-mailed (via EUDORA) the prefs file
>From my office Mac to my Laboratory Mac and that worked fine.  There must
be a better way, though.

Re: keeping track of Guest users on personal filesharing....

I suspect that others may have replied...but...there is a commercial
product around called 'Nok Nok' that does just what you seem to be asking
for, by determining the Guest(X)'s machine name...available at your usual
MacMailorder places....dunno its cost...

Hope this helps,

Subject: Ziffnet-mac

I was prompted into writing this while reading the messages about where to
find HideAlways, and the fact that it is ONLY available on Ziffnet.

It seems to me that creatinga shareware/freeware product but then limiting
its distribution to one online service is a tad strange.  Please don't flame
at me - I do not begrudge Ziffnet to run their business as they do.  I just
am of the opinion that wide distribution of freeware/shareware is a better
option for all parties included.

So what does one call such software?  It's obviously not "free"ware, since you
must subscribe to their service.  Neither is it "share"ware since it can't be
shared outside the service.  Perhaps it is subware - you must subscribe to
their service to get it?

What do y'all think about this idea of limiting distribution.  I know it is
one thing that has kept me from joining Ziffnet.  The last thing I need is
to belong to a "private" club.

Subject: Zmodem

I have used both Kermit and Zmodem.  Not only is Zmodem more easier to use
(you
only have to tell one side to send) but it is faster and more reliable than
Kermit. (In my opinion.)
