Subject: [!] Info-Mac CD-ROM II

Dear Fans of the Info-Mac Archive!

The second issue of the Info-Mac CD-ROM has just been completed, and should
be available in about a week.  This latest version contains 576MB (compared
to 112MB on the first issue), has an On Location index for the entire disc,
and has indexes for the digests.

For those of you who have the first issue, we're offering an upgrade for
$29.95 (plus S&H).  After a lot of hard thought, we've decided to set the
price of the disc at $49.95, a price which we do not intend to raise in
the future.

We will continue our policy of giving out free copies to authors of new
programs or major upgrades that are on the disc.  As always, we're not
planning to check up on people, so if you believe you deserve a free disc,
just tell us and we'll send one out to you.  I don't think that too many
people abused this policy last time, so we'd like to keep it.

If anyone has any suggestions about how we could get more publicity, we'd
sure appreciate it.  Someone suggested a while back that we get the disc
put in the Apple Developers publication.  Does anyone know who to contact??

In the next couple of days, I'll be posting a new "info-mac-cd-rom_2.txt"
file that should appear in the "Help" directory of the Info-Mac archive.
It will contain a list of the programs on the CD along with one-line
descriptions of the programs.

Many thanks to Bill Lipa and the others that help out with Sumex-Aim, as
well as to the many people who gave us suggestions and help!


Cliff

Amy's Recipes 1.0 )
December 1992 by Tim Bobo
Image Works Software.)

Introduction
This stack was created especially for my wife, Amy.  She is a wonderful
friend, wife, mother, cook, and much more.  Amy, I hope you enjoy this little
program.  I will try to learn to be a better cook myself, and this is kind of
a scary thought since I mes
sed up macaroni and cheese before.

Advantages To Using This Program
% Never loose a recipe again!
% Easy to browse through all your favorite recipes.
% Print out your recipes and take them to the store to use as a shopping
list!  Don't worry if you loose them, you always print out another copy.
% Oops, got spaghetti on that recipe?  Don't worry, you can print out a clean
copy later.
% So 65 of your friends are dying to have a copy of your "Meat Loaf & Yogurt"
Surprise recipe.  No problem, print out a few copies for them.
% Now what was that recipe named? No problem, just do a word search and find
that recipe by a key ingredient.

Shareware = Send Me All Your Money
If you like this little HyperCard program, please send me $3.  This money will
be given to Amy as a bonus gift in addition to this program.  Three dollars is
not a lot, but if 100 or so people are honest enough to send $3 it will be
great.  (Actually if a
 million or so people send me $3 it would be even better.)  If you include a
 blank floppy and a SASE, I will send you some of my other useful programs
 with the Shareware fee waved. (Font Library - great cataloger , Five Dice -
 fun game, Shapes - kid learn
ing stack, probably an upgrade to this program, and more!)

Subject: AppleField 1.0 release (FreeWare)

AppleField is my personal re-interpretation of a well known game.
This is my first freeware release of the program, created using a very
widespread pascal programming environment for the Mac.
Being this my very first decent application, I hope that if the
program contains any bugs (shouldn't it ?), you'll give me another
chance by reporting it, together with any suggestion you like.
AppleField requires System 7.0 or above.

Subject: [*] AppleGlot

A while ago I submitted a request for a Resource detective that would allow me
to edit resorces so that I could easily localize a piece of software.  I found
this utility on AppleLink and so far as I know, it is freeware.

What is Localization?

Localizing means adapting a file to a specific country and/or a specific
language.

So localization may consist of:
-       Translating program resources
-       Translating documentation
-       Adapting the file to country specific units of measure, currency sign,
date formats, etc.
-       Adapting the program to language specific writing rules
-       Other file specific localization needs

Fortunately, Macintosh programs are (or should be!) written to minimize the
efforts of localization.  The Macintosh OS is built to provide both language
independent procedures to aid in supporting different writing rules, and to
give the application access to country specific symbols, formats, etc.
Therefore localizing a Macintosh file will generally consist of just two
distinct steps:
-       Translating documentation
-       Translating file resources

While translating documentation can be a lengthy process, it is a fairly
straight forward step, typically using a single word processor.  Translating
resources however can be a cumbersome time consuming step in the localization
process.
AppleGlot has been designed to make the job of translating resources easier
and more time efficient.

Subject: [*] DarkShutdown 1.0

DarkShutdown is a Darkside 3.2 module which will shutdown your Mac
instead of darkening the screens after the given time has elapsed.
The Finder or At Ease must be running, because I issue a shutdown
by telling them to do it (with Apple Events), so that all open
applications are closed correctly.
There is even an option for responding automatically to the
"Do you want to save..." dialog boxes, useful if the Mac is unattended.

Enjoy yourself and remember the $5 shareware fee!

DART (Disk Archive/Retrieval Tool) is an application that
enables you to duplicate Macintosh, Lisa, Apple II, or MS-DOS
disks, save disk images, and create disks from image files.
DART 1.5 can read disk image files in DART, DiskMaker, or Disk
Copy format.  DART 1.5 image files are compressed, approaching
a reduction in size comparable to that obtained by using a
commercial compression utility.  DART 1.5 is System 7.0
"savvy", and implements a custom Apple event mechanism to
automate the conversion of older DART or Disk Copy files to
1.5 format.  The conversion process can be run by "remote
control" (even across a network!) using the accompanying
HyperCard stack. (For more information, please refer to the
DART User Manual.)

Disk Charmer 2.0 is a neat utility that lets you conveniently
initialize (or verify) floppy disks.
It *requires* at least System 7 to run.
It has a nice, modeless interface.
It supports drag&drop (with the required Apple Events).
It is able to create larger disks: you gain 8.5K on a 800K disk,
18.5K on a HD disk (if you keep one large file filling the disk,
such as a Compact Pro segment).
It is the first disk formatter supporting the handy "Undo" feature
we all know and love.
It is the first disk formatter able to initialize and verify disks
(hold your breath) *in background*. To access this feature, you need
the Thread Manager Extension from Apple Computer.
It has even more features... but I am sure you are already impressed!

Subject: [*] EasyTransfer v2.0.0 (1/2)

Hello everybody!

Here is the latest update of EasyTransfer which is currently in
/info-mac/comms. EasyTransfer has progressed to version 2.0.0
and has undergone significant changes. Because of of a complete
re-write of the transport layer, EasyTransfer v2.0.0 is
incompatible with earlier versions (1.0 and 1.1).
Briefly, EasyTransfer does the following. EasyTransfer allows you
to set up an ftp-like service on your Mac. The major difference is
that it uses native Mac file formats, ie there is no need to convert
(BinHex etc) files before sending/receiving. Once connected to a Mac,
you can put/get files in a fashion similar to the standard "Open File"
dialog one sees. The enclosed Readme file explains things further.


New features in version 2.0.0 are:

* server and client are now merged in one application

* new transport protocol means it runs up to 50% faster than
  ealier versions

* an optional daemon runs entirely in the background and alerts
  you when there is a connect request and EasyTransfer is not running

* you can test data transfer on a single machine by connecting to
  'yourself'

* the user interface has changed (for the better, I hope :-)

* set up of user accounts has been simplified and may be tested
  immediately

* you may get multiple files at once by making an extended selection

* clients may create folders (if permission allows)

A collection of tiny applications (not INITs, DAs, or FKeys) to
set the monitor depth/system volume of your Mac - without having
to bother opening the relevant control panel. Sound switchers
beep once at the new volume, and then quit. Colour switchers
switch to the desired colour depth by default, or gray scale if
the command key is held down. All come with ballon help, and are
free. For info-mac/util.

Guilty, guilty, guilty.
Actually, I didn't upload this program (which I believe is my port).
Somebody else did.
I had a README file with my version. It read (in full):

For further information, "gzip -h".

Couldn't be clearer than that!
You Mac users are all spoilt.
Whatever happened to the pioneering spirit?

For those interested,
here is the diff file from the original gzip-1.0.7 distribution
(available from prep.ai.mit.edu, directory pub/gnu).
As will be evident, the number of changes required is minimal.
I have to confess that as it stands this requires
the ThinkCPosix library I wrote
(available from ftp.maths.tcd.ie in pub/Mac).
However, I don't think anything vital is required;
it should be easy enough to delete references to it.

If someone would like to add a nice user interface, please feel free.

There is one point I wasn't clear about,
which you Mac gurus could assist me with.
With my version, if a file is compressed or uncompressed on the Mac,
it keeps the same FileType.
This is clearly wrong;
but I couldn't see any other way of ensuring eg that a 'TEXT' file
remains a 'TEXT' file after compression and decompression.
Any suggestions?
I suppose one ought to have a "gzip" CreatorSignature,
so that "gzip -d" starts up if one double-clicks on a gzip-ped file.
With a nice icon?

--Boundary (ID 5LooLqnqrULZXs81N0dBQQ)
Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII

This file should replace HyperBibTeX095 on all archives.

HyperBibTeX (version 0.9.7, 3-May-93) is a Macintosh
HyperCard stack for  managing bibliography databases
compatible with BibTeX, the bibliography system  used by
the TeX typesetting language. HyperBibTeX's features
include:

* entering and editing bibliographic entries using
  BibTeX's entry types  (Book, Article, Proceedings, etc.),
* checking data integrity and consistency against a set
  of authority lists,
* sorting cards on various fields,
* searching the database,
* marking cards individually or with the search function,
* importing entries from a BibTeX file,
* exporting cards to a BibTeX file.

HyperBibTeX requires HyperCard version 2. It should run
fine under system 6, but  the Balloon Help facility
requires system 7. It also runs under HyperCard Player.

Version 0.9.7 is an upgrade that fixes bugs (including a
serious bug in version 0.9.5) and adds some new features
(such as an Index window that lists the Keys of the cards).
If you are presently using an  older version of HyperBibTeX,
I strongly recommend that you upgrade to version 0.9.7.

OVERVIEW
 --------
QuickNotes is a System 7 only system extension that
allows you to quickly and easily jot down notes on your
Macintosh saving them for later perusal with the
TeachText application or any text editor.

QuickNotes was inspired because I normally bring a
Transport Disk with me everyday to work. As I come up
with ideas or remember things I need to do that night I
would create a folder on my Transport disk and type in a
short message to myself as the name of the folder.
Something like "Call Marty tonight." When I get home I
could open my Transport disk and look at all the folder
names to remember what I needed to do.
If the idea was longer than 31 characters, I would create
a TeachText file and keep that on my disk. When I get
home I could read the text in the TeachText file.

Creating all these folders and TeachText files can get
tiresome quickly...so QuickNotes was born to help
automate the process.

Subject: [*] Sokoban 1.1

Sokoban 1.1 is an update to Sokoban 1.0.  (Not to be confused with
MacSokoban, another implementation of the same game).

Version 1.1 adds many new keyboard and mouse control options
(making mouse navigation easy, keyboard navigation even easier),
improved graphics, and is faster than version 1.0.

Sokoban is a game, or maybe a puzzle.  You push treasures around a maze.
Sounds simple, right?  Wrong!  There's not much room to turn around,
and you have to be careful not to get a treasure stuck in a corner
(you can't pull, just push).  And the treasures are too heavy to push
two at once, so don't get one stuck against another.  Fortunately you
can undo the last 500 moves and save your position.

The game is easy to play, but hard to solve.  But all 85 levels are
solvable, and once you solve them all, you can always make up your own.

Sokoban has been available on Unix machines for a long time; this
version is a rewrite for Macintosh.  It's FreeWare and works under any
system from 4.1 up (including system 7) on every Mac I could find to
test it on, from the Mac Plus to the Quadra.

Subject: [*] System 7 friendly Dove FastNet III drivers (1/2)

Hello macland,
I'm enclosing System 7 friendly drivers for Dove's FastNet III ethernet
boards. Initially these cards used an AMD chipset, but these were replaced
by National ethernet chips in a redesign. A quick inspection of the board
will reveal which driver to use
AMD chips: Dove FastNetIII.800K.sit.hqx
National:  Dove FastNetIIIn.800K.sit.hqx
As the filenames indicate these are images of the 800K Dove installer disks
which have been compressed using StuffitDeluxe 3.0.5. Instead of supplying
a disk image, I probably could have just sent an archive with the install
script etc, but I wasn't 100% certain of getting everything needed. NB most
of these disks are occupied by a cut-down System 6.0.7 including old
versions of AppleTalk etc. I can't remember whether the installation
includes these old network components, so watch out! It could be the time
anyway to upgrade with Apple's NSI 1.3 which includes AppleTalk 58.

PS These drivers were released soon after System 7, but I'm sure there must
be some people like me who'll find them useful. The following email also
attests to Dove's continued existence with the potential to supply driver
updates for other products. I only recently changed to System 7 and
initially these drivers wouldn't work because they conflicted with the old
driver I had *manually* installed into System 7. While that old driver
wouldn't work with AppleTalk, it worked fine for MacTCP. Before I worked
out the cause of the problem I did fresh System installs and verified the
new drivers work OK for System 7.0, 7.0 tuned, and 7.1. I have since
upgraded to AppleTalk 58 and MacTCP 1.1.1 without problem, though the card
isn't as fast as a Quadra 950's built-in ethernet!

cheers,
Danny Thomas ([e-mail])

Subject: [*] TwiLight 7.1.4 screen saver update

Hello moderators,

please find enclosed the latest update of the free screen saver for
Macintosh computers. This version (7.1.4) replaces the earlier releases
and is the first version that can work on all macintoshes.
This package includes the TwiLight control panel and an installer that can
install a screen brightness driver on the computer.
People using a Macintosh Classic or Classic II need not upgrade, since
the screen saver still has the same functionality.

Description:

This is a screen saver for macintoshes. It dims the screen to a user
brightness level that the user can set via a user-friendly control panel.
It uses almost no memory, runs completely in the background and uses little
CPU time. While dimmed, programs continue to run, so print-jobs are not
interrupted. As a bonus, it allows the setting of the screen brightness
using the numerical keys 0-9 with some user-definable modifiers.

Full balloon help is implemented and documentation is included in the
package (a TeachText document).


Needed:

A Macintosh computer running system software version 7.0.1 or higher.

A postcard of your home town, since this software is postware.


This version replaces all previous versions. In particular, it replaces
the version posted a few days ago (May 13, 1993) that had a little bug
in the installer that caused it to think that a machine with the Apple
Screen Brightness driver installed in its system file had a ROM based
driver. This is now solved. Please remove older versions from the archive.

A B O U T  Z O N E R A N G E R

ZoneRanger provides detailed information about each heap zone that is
currently
active on the Macintosh. This information includes both the counts and total
sizes of the free blocks, pointers, handles, locked handles, purgeable
handles,
and resource handles in each heap zone.

ZoneRanger also provides windows in which a heap zone can be displayed
graphically, with the size, type, and attributes of each block clearly
defined.
The user can control the resolution and zoom factor of this display, as well
as
click on any individual block to view its contents.

===============================================================================

F E A T U R E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 6

There are no new features in this version.

B U G   F I X E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 6

ZoneRanger will center all dialogs and alerts on the monitor that contains the
mouse. Similarly, it will position a Zone window that does not have a position
saved in the preferences file at the top of the monitor that contains the
mouse. On machines that do not support Color Quickdraw, these dialogs, alerts,
and windows would be positioned at some random location offscreen. In general,
any machine that uses a ROM from a 68000 machine will not support Color
Quickdraw, and would have exhibited this bug.

The Find dialog allows the user to find those blocks in a Zone window that are
of a certain type, certain size, or contain a certain pattern. An attempt to
find those blocks that contain a case-insensitive ASCII pattern with one or
more non-alphabetic characters would sometimes fail.

F E A T U R E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 5

Added support for 24-bit addressing.

Added a preferences file. ZoneRanger will now save the size, location, and
configuration of all windows.

Added ability to find blocks in a heap zone according to their type, size, or
contents.

Added ability to control the rates at which the windows are refreshed when
ZoneRanger is in the foreground and when it is in the background.

Added popup menu to Overview window.
Added more detailed balloon help.
Added more status information to Zone window.

Enhanced memory management.
Enhanced stack usage.
Enhanced segmentation strategy.
Enhanced drawing speed in Zone window.
Enhanced error handling.

B U G   F I X E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 5

ZoneRanger uses a single offscreen drawing world for all open windows, which
is
sized to accommodate the largest of the windows. When the largest window was
closed, the offscreen world was not reduced appropriately.

If an application name contained characters that are meaningful to the menu
manager ( "(", "-", "/" ), then strange things would appear in the Zones menu
for that application.

It would sometimes be difficult to bring a window to the front by clicking on
the title bar of the window.

The scroll bar in the Zone window for a particularly large zone would
sometimes
behave erratically.

The maximum size to which a Zone window could be grown was the size of the
main
monitor. This proved to be a bad assumption if the main monitor were the
smallest monitor on the system.

The Zone window did not refresh properly when it detected that its heap zone
had increased in size.

A bug exists in the Window Manager of the Macintosh Toolbox in which the grow
box for a window, which includes the outline of the scroll bars, is drawn one
pixel too low if the window is resized while the left edge of the window is
off the screen. To minimize this unsightly problem, ZoneRanger will redraw the
outline of the horizontal scroll bar in its proper position.

Subject: Act!, PowerTrax, Contact Ease (R)

In response to the person who needed excellent tracking of past contact
activity, you should take a look at Contact Ease by WestWare, Inc.
You can call them at 619-660-0356. It maintains a very complete log of
past phone calls, letters, and other activities. It also displays this on
the screen, not just on printouts. Some of the other programs can display
their REPORTS on the screen, but this is not anywhere near as useful as
Contact Ease's interactive tracking.

One of Contact Ease's strengths is the ability to assign plans. A plan
is a "flowchart" of steps that Contact tracks for that contact. For
example, one plan might be:
1.  After meeting someone at a meeting, immediately send "Nice to Meet
    You" letter.
2.  In one week, send brochure of services w/custom letter.
3.  If a response is received (any type), go to the "Interested" plan.
    Otherwise, schedule a phone call reminder in two more weeks.
4.  If phone call response is positive, go to the "Sales" plan.
    Otherwise, in six months, return to step 2.

Of course, you would have a plan for "Interested" and for "Sales."
They can be as complex as necessary, branches at every step. When a
previously scheduled step is due, you will see it in your "IN" box
if it is a phone call or meeting reminder. Letters and Envelopes
automatically appear in your "OUT" box, where you can print all
or some of the items. Each letter can be set up for a different
type of stationery, or you can scan your logos in and print each
one with each letter or envelope.

Many more features, such as synchronization of multiple files,
which are too numerous to list. It does dial through a modem.

Subject: Antediluvian Imagewriter and Powerbook

We have a student who is using a Powerbook 145 running System 7.1.
She has it attached to a "first generation" Imagewriter (the model
number is A9M0303), from the "printer icon" port on the Powerbook
to the printer through what seems to be the appropriate adapter
cable.  Through the Chooser we have tried the Imagewriter and the
Imagewriter LQ (the latter was grasping at straws...).  The "printer
icon" port is selected.  Appletalk is set to inactive.

The printer will not print.  The operating system gives the error
message "Printer is not responding".

The way I see it, either

1)      The printer is incompatible with the Powerbook and/or the
    operating system.
2)      The cable is not the correct type.
3)      The cable is bad.

Or maybe something else has been overlooked.

Any help/advice/etc would be greatly appreciated.  Please mail responses

this to the list if it seems appropriate.  Thanks!

Subject: Connecting PC to Appleshare (A)

On page 23 in the book MacUser Guide to Connectivity" by John Rizzo
I found the following:
LocalTalk cards are available for AT-bus and Micro Channel PCs from several
vendors. Daystar and Farallon are major suppliers of LocalTalk cards for PCs,
with their LT200 Connection and PhoneNETTalk products, respectively.
Apple left the market when it sold its technology to Farallon.
The TOPS FlashTalk card from Sitka is also a LocalTalk card for PCs.
AppleTalk is not limited to LocalTalk, and can run on faster network
hardware, such as Ethernet and token ring. The same is true for PCs
running AppleTalk software. The most advanced AppleTAlk software
for PCs is Farallon's PhoneNETTalk PC, which works with Ethernet
and token ring cards from most manufacturers.

What you need is Alert Init. It will move your cursor to the default button

Thanks to all who had suggestions, including:

My Duo went back to Apple last week, for yet another logic board and the

"if in doubt, replace the logic board."

I wonder if Apple has actually made any money off the Duo's!

Hi netters
Here is a (short) edited collection of responses I have got.
It seems a delicate subject, so I can not disclose my sources  :-[

One wrote:
To be quite honest, Micro$oft products are extremely poor pieces of software
engineering. They're big, they're slow and they don't conform to Apple's
guidelines (e.g. some of the translators with Word 5.1a are still not 32-bit
clean!). Many of them have bugs that would shame a novice programmer.

Another one wrote:
So, why I hate Micro$oft....
1)  Poor product design.
2)  Incompatability.  Micro$oft has the WORST record in the industry
    when it comes to compatability.  MS products are almost sure to "break"
    with each System upgrade.
3) Micro$oft isn't a Mac company.  I wouldn't REALLY care about this,
   except that if one compares Micro$oft's equivalent products for
   the Mac and Windows, it becomes obvious where the development $$
   goes (look at Word for Windows and then look at the features that
   Word for Mac doesn't have).
4) Disk space.  Excel is around 12 Mb of disk space
5) Power. where is Word's scripting language?
6) Company Policies.  This one was the final straw.  Upgrades for
   MS products are not priced according to any change in power/ease of use.

Summary
 ------
Micro$oft is accused of:
1.      Poor product design - does not confirm to Apple's Guidelines for
    MAC software.  Uses non-standard programming methods which cause
    INIT conflicts and Incompatability at system upgarde .
2.      Programs are NOT user friendly.
3.      Waste of resources - Programs are big (use a lot of disk space) and
slow.
4.      Company Policies - support is lousy, upgrading expensive.
5.      Micro$oft isn't a Mac company - and is "guilty" of creating MS-DOS

Excel --> Claris Resolve

You won't find a better technical text-processing system than TeX (or LaTeX).
And OzTeX is free.
PowerPoint--> Aldus Persuasion seems to do a better job.
For novice users, I suggest ClarisWorks. It does 90% of what anyone wants in

1. Translate the PC file with Apple File Exchange (the default
   translator works fine!)
2. Using a file editing utility (e.g. SUMTools/MacTools/MacSnoop etc)
   change the file type of the mac file to: Midi
3. "Open" file from within almost any MIDI sequencer/notation editor.

Although I haven't tried the following, it's theoretically feasible :-)
Link a PC and a Mac via MIDI intefaces for each. Play the MIDI file
on the PC and record on the Mac.  But seriously, the three steps listed
above have worked for  me every time.  Btw, if you are getting the .MID
(that's the pc MIDI "file type") files from an ftp host, remember
to "get" in binary mode.

MiniTrax, a public-domain sequencer/player is the least expensive

Hello again!

With the advent of the new LaserWriter Driver (v8.0), which supports
PostScript Level 2, I've been looking for an Adobe PPD file for the
(relatively) new DEClaser 1152 printer.  Not only will the new driver
take advantage of the PPD (from what I understand--I don't have it yet...),
but programs like PageMaker, FreeHand, etc. use the PPD to provide better
printer support; thus, these files are pretty useful.

I've checked the Adobe FTP site (ftp.adobe.com), but the closest I could get
was the "DCD11501.PPD" file (/pub/adobe/PPDFiles) which corresponds to the
DEClaser 1150 (which was not PS Level 2).

Can anyone help me out, or do I have to throw myself at the mercy of Adobe

Subject: Slot Machin (No Answer yet)

Dear Netters,
I have yet to receive an answer other than a mention of MacBandit, but it
can't be found on any newsgroup (internet) or bulletin board.  I am looking
for a replacement or upgrade of the 1984 MacSlots game that will work on a
Macintosh LC or other non-compact macs.  The newest machine MacSlots works on
is a vanilla SE.  All newer machines when it is started will give the sad mac
startup.  It is as copyprotected the Macintosh software ever got, as you could
only load it by starting it as a startup disk, and it has a built in shut
down with no quit.
What I would like to see in a Slot Machine:
1. odds of winning as in VEGAS, or Atlantic City.
2. A multiplier winning that multiplies the amount put into the machine by a
template of winning combinations.
3. An increasing amount of money allowed to be bet according to how many
minutes you play.
4. 3 Wheel combinations are fine, and winnings from $2-$500 in template.
5. Borrowing from casino manager
6. 12" RGB Screen sized windows, so I can run it on my current hardware.
7. Ability to see template at any time
8. Doesn't matter if it is Black and White or 8 bit Color.
9. Doesn't ask an LC for any StripAddresses.
10.  Also you start with a bankroll of $100, and can see a nice graphic of all
the coins in your bank roll  in $1, $5 or $20 coin increments.

Where in the world of internet might I find such a beast?
Or could someone who is developing a newer "MacSlots" please e-mail me a
message when they are through?  If someone knows what is the model of creating
an odds table for VEGAS or ATLANTIC CITY, maybe I could program this for
myself with Think-C.  Otherwise it would be a simple random number generator.

Thank you.

Subject: WWDC impressions

The WWDC Netter's Dinner was a success.  We had about 75 people show
up and we all drank lots of beer and ate good food.  I enjoyed the
conversation at my table.  We had an excellent discussion on the current
theories of

MUCH THANKS to Jon Pugh and Leonard Rosenthol for introducing everyone
in the whisper quiet Gordon Biersch.

And some off the cuff observations on the past week.

PowerPC Mac is real, is fast, and is cool.  A good quote I heard
was some Apple person saying that they are already stockpiling 601
chips to satisfy demand when they ship.  Either they will sell a million
PowerPC based Macs next year or they will have a huge pile of chips
out behind the Apple R&D campus!

The PowerPC Mac is a tremendous opportunity for Apple.  They view this
as a mainstream machine from day one, unlike the Pentium which will
show up only in servers and highend machines for some time.  If they
can get it out in quantity early next year they could gain a lot in
the marketshare wars.

The software for the PowerPC is excellent too.  Mixing and matching
68K code and PowerPC code is easy and seems to be well architected.
Compatability is excellent.  Expect to see Centris 040 class performance
with emulation and X2-X4 better for native.

Newton is real too.  It's also cool.  If they can price this thing
low enough they, or Sharp or Panasonic, will sell millions of them too.

There were a number of "its about time" system fixes coming soon.
The sound manager (3.0) is finally something they don't need to be
embarassed about.  Likewise for the new SCSI manager (4.3).

There seems to be about 1000 new Script languages.  Let's see: HyperScript,
AppleScript, NewtonScript, ScriptX, WorldScript, etc.  Come people!

Casper isn't quite reasy for prime time, but they are making good
progress.  The text-to-speech stuff is pretty good. It's not human
like, but quite easy to understand.  (Side note: there was a guy at
the ATG session who sounded just like Macintalk II.  Wierd!)

QuickDraw GX is getting there.  The best news is that they aren't
going to try to turn it into a profit center.  Expect to see it distributed
much like they do with QuickTime.

ScriptX looks VERY promising.  A very rich environment for MultiMedia
development.  I hope this is release to developers soon!

QuickTime 1.6 is cool.  A nice incremental release - it's good to
seem the releasing coming at a pretty good clip.  1.6 addes excellent
support for 4-bit monochome - perfect for PowerBooks.  Sound manager
3.0 support.  The coolest thing is that it can import 16-bit stereo
directly off an Apple CD-300.  Look out for massive copyright infringement!

Bedrock worries me.  I would never base any commercial product of
1.0 of any framework.  And even 1.0 of Bedrock is probably a year
off.  I still think that if some company picked up MacApp and provided
support for it into the future, they would make some good money!

I thought the ATG "extravaganza" was a bit weak.  SK8 was OK, but
the agent demos they showed were mostly stuff we've seen many times
before.  I expected more WOW from ATG.  I remember being blown off my
feet seeing prototype QuickTime at an ATG session or seeing Casper
for the first time.  I didn't feel that way last night.

Subject: ZiffNet/Mac Software (c)

disclaimer:  my personal opinions follow, not a legal opinion.

My $.02 in agreement with Steven T. Jones and Colin McLaughlin and in
strong disagreement with Adam Engst, in particular with Mr. Engst's use
and juxtaposition of the words "illegal and unethical" with respect to
distribution of "Ziff exclusive software."

First: IMO Juxtaposing "illegal and unethical" is inappropriate.
Example-dismissal of a case against a culpable criminal on the grounds
that the arrest resulted from a stop and frisk without probable cause may
be within the law ("legal") however it may also be 'unethical,' depending
on oneUs understanding of ethics and morality.  Or-the uploading of *Ziff
exclusive software' to ftp sites _may_ be illegal, but, again depending on
one's views, it may well be ethical.

Second:  IMO it is a presumption for Mr. Engst to declare that because the
Ziff licensing agreement forbids distribution of Ziff software other than
on Ziffmac it is therefore illegal to do so.  I know of no judicial
determination that the Ziff license agreement has any legal effect
whatsover.  Has Mr. Engst? I agree that further distribution violates the
license agreement (based on his description of it), and it _may_ not be
worth the
bother to challenge it, but I do not agree with his apparent conclusion
that the licensing agreement itself is lawful.  One alternative view could
be that anyone downloading the Ziff software from a source other that
Ziffmac owes Ziff some analogy to a royalty, in addition to any shareware
fee that may apply.

The copyright clause of the Constitution states that: "To promote the
Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to
Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and
Discoveries;" (U.S. Const. Art. I, Sec. 8, cl. 8.)  One court has
interpreted the copyright clause to the effect that the only purpose of
granting a copyright to the author of computer software is to promote
progress in that field. (_qad. inc. v. ALN Associates_ 770 F.Supp. 1261,
NDIll. 1991)  Ziff is not an "author" and even if it was, does limiting
the *distribution* of software promote progress in the field?
Furthermore, financial reward is merely an incident of the copyright
clause, the objective being to promote the progress of science and the
arts.  _Berlin v. E.C. Publications_ 329 F.2d 541, 2nd Cir. 1964,
certiorari denied, 379 US 822.  Does Ziff promote progress in science and
the arts by creating exclusivity of access to software?

Third:  Mr. Engst makes the analogy between distributing Ziff software on
the Internet to distributing commercial software on the Internet (and
characterizes this as "software piracy.")  IMO his analogy is inapposite.
Commercial software is distributed through the community of resellers (the
free market economy, so called), so that anyone who wishes may purchase it
at the best price they can find. It seems to me that the Ziif strategy is
more closely analogous to the 'fair trade' practices common ten or fifteen
years ago (in which companies would only sell to one retailer within a
particular geographic area) and subsequently found unlawful as restraint
of trade and competition.

None of the above is to say that the author of any software should not be
paid, or that Ziff should not receive a royalty, if it deserves one, quite
the reverse.  The important issue is whether or not it is in the interests
of the community of computer users and software developers to create
exclusive arrangements where only members of a particular club have
_access_ to particular software.  One final remark.  A business practice
might be good marketing, but that does not mean it is automatically legal
or socially desirable.  One commentator has noted that "if our legal and
social institutions fail to adapt, access to electronic media could be a
privilege, rather than a right." (Mitchell Kapor, Civil Liberties in
Hyperspace, Scientific American, v. 265, #3, page 158-164.  Although Kapor
was writing primarily about governmental censorship and intervention, I
submit we have just as much to fear from corporate and other private
institutional control over access to software and services.
