Subject: [*] AMT-PPI-14400FXSA

November 14, 1993

The enclosed file is a bin-hexed/stuffit archive. I am the
author of this document, which I call AMT-PPI-14400FXSA.

AMT-PPI-14400FXSA is a document that can be used in conjunction
with the Apple Modem Tool v1.5 to add the Practical Peripherals
14400FXSA modem to the tool's list of choices available.

You add these resources by using the Apple Modem Tool itself.
In the pop-up menu of modem choices, you select "Modify this
menu". In the dialog box that follows, select the "Import"
button. Point the file open dialog box at this document,
and you will add four flavors of modem settings for the
Practical Peripherals 14400FXSA modem.  The resources can be
removed in a similar fashion.

The file includes a custom icon of the PPI modem, one of the
most handsome modems around!

This file also contains a custom modem cable PICT resource,
which makes a minor correction to the one contained in the
Apple Modem Tool itself.

You can also use this file as a model for creating others by
using ResEdit to change the resources as appropriate for other
modems.

As always, use at your own risk; your mileage may vary.
If you see anything wrong with the file or the settings,
please let me know!

Best regards,

Jim Hebert.

Subject: [*] AV Speedup 1.0

Howdy,

AV Speedup 1.0 will alleviate some excessive disk drive hits experienced by
owners of AV Macs. A good example of this is Eudora; if you have the
program, try changing something in the Special:Configuration dialog box.
For every keypress, you will hear your drive whirr as the resource fork is
flushed to disk. After installing AV Speedup, your Mac will be nice and
quite as the resource flush is delayed until a more appropriate time.

I have not noticed any problems with this extension after running it for
two days. Matt Gough and Brian Stroud agreed to distribute this extension
as long as:
    1. Only version 1.0 is made available at this time.
    2. There is a short disclaimer about them not being responsible for
    any
       (unlikely) problems caused by it.

So, please understand that holding Matt and Brian responsible for any
problems caused by this extension will be futile ;-)

This archive includes the extension, the AppleLink announcement from Matt
and Brian, and the original "840AV Disk-Thrashing" note.

Enjoy, Igor

Steve Waechter asked for a copy of Blindfold. No sooner said than done,
Steve. Here is the program, from the CompuServe MACSYS forum. The liner
notes for the program are:


  Make files and folders visible or invisible in the Finder. Useful for hiding
  private files or cleaning up ugly desktop clutter. Files are modified
  through an open file dialog, or in Drop Box mode.  Scans all directories
  selected in Drop Box mode, so entire directories or disks can be modified.
  Updated (bug fix) version of Visibility 1.0.
  One more of the Drop Rob-Box family.

Subject: [*] Eclipse 2.1

The latest version of Andrew Welch's Eclipse screen saver.  His description
follows:

Reinstates the ability to display a clock when the screen is dimmed.  So
now you can display a clock or a customizable logo when the screen is
dimmed.  A bug that caused the Eclipse control panel to crash on "classic"
Macs was fixed.  Also, version 2.1.0 supports on-the-fly resolution
switching software.

Eclipse offers several features, the most important of which is the ability
to display any picture you like (such as a company logo or a picture of
your favorite model) when your monitor is dimmed.  No matter how large the
picture is, Eclipse _still_ uses up only 5K of memory and very little
processor time.

Eclipse is a Control Panel that automatically dims your screen after a
specified period of inactivity.  Your monitor can sustain "burn in" damage
if the same image is left on it for extended periods of time, which results
in the ghosting of images and decreased monitor clarity.  Your monitor is a
vital part of your computer system, and often an expensive one at that, so
it only makes sense to protect it.

After Eclipse notices that you have not used your computer for a period of
time, it blanks the monitor and draws the current time at random locations
on the screen to prevent burn in damage.  Background tasks such as
spreadsheet recalulation, database sorting, or printing will continue
normally while Eclipse has dimmed your monitor.

Eclipse offers several unique features that should make it your screen
saver of choice:

  - Your monitor is transparently protected from damage
  - Background tasks will continue unhindered, because Eclipse uses very
little processor time
  - Eclipse has been extensively tested, so you can use it with confidence
  - You can display your favorite picture while your monitor is dimmed
  - Companies can put their logo into Eclipse to have it displayed while
their Mac's are idle
  - Eclipse uses very little memory, approximately 5K, so you won't be
wasting memory for such a basic task as monitor dimming

Once installed, Eclipse uses up 5K of memory.

Subject: [*] FaberFinder 4.1.1

FaberFinder is Yet Another MiniFinder.
Has "a lot" of features, though it is only 3K (the power of
good old assembler). Read the enclosed note for details.
FaberFinder 4.1 and later should **not** need the 128k ROMs
(Mac Plus or later Macs).
It works (at least) on my old, faithful Mac Plus under System 1.1,
2.0, 4.0, 4.3, 6.0.2, 6.0.8; you can use it under System 7.0
or later, but System 7 is not fully supported: you cannot
launch desk accessories from the directory dialog box, for
instance.
FaberFinder may be useful for emergency disks, where space is
at a premium.
Read the enclosed note to learn more.

Enjoy yourself and remember the $5 shareware fee!

Subject: [*] Flash'em 1.0

Flash 'em 1.0
Copyright (C) 1993 by Dan Crevier

Flash'em is a general purpose flash card utility that allows you to create
flash cards with up to 3 "sides" each and then test yourself on those
cards.  This is ideal for languages like Japanese where you might have the
kanji, hiragana, and english meaning, although it's use isn't limited to
Japanese.  Each side has it's own font.  When testing, you mark the cards
that you know, and then keeps testing you until you know them all.

The program is freeware, so feel free to distribute the archive.

FEATURES:
* You can create and edit flash card files from the program or use a text
editor (sides are separated by tabs).
* You can test yourself on the cards in either random or sequential order
until you know all of the cards.
* You can merge several files together into memory to do a test on all of
them at once.
* Plays cool sounds when you get them all right.
* You can paste in words from MacJDic.
* When testing, words on each side show up in biggest font that will fit
in the field on the screen.
* Includes some sample Japanese flash card files

Subject: [*] Gatekeeper 1.3 (yes, two in as many days)

Gatekeeper 1.3 is a set of Macintosh system extensions (INITs)
and related control panels (cdevs) which, when active (i.e.
allowed to install themselves during the boot process) offer
protection against attacks by all known viruses (to the author
at the time of this release).

Gatekeeper also monitors computer activities for what are
considered to be suspicious 'events' or 'operations', in an
attempt to intercept what could be variants of known viruses or
even completely new viruses.

Since its initial release in January of 1989, Gatekeeper has
repeatedly demonstrated its ability to stop the spread of
viruses which were unknown during its design. Like any anti-
virus system, however, it cannot guarantee complete protection.

Of course, no claims or promises are made regarding Gatekeeper's
effectiveness or suitability, and some functions and capabil-
ities of Gatekeeper are non-trivial to use and may require a
careful reading of the documentation.


Gatekeeper 1.3 Release Notes 12-Nov-93
 --------------------------------------------------

Gatekeeper 1.3 was created the day after 1.2.9 was released to fix
a bug that caused all pre-7 systems to hang during startup, and
crashed some System 7.x machines.

For those of you wondering about the story behind the bug, and
why 1.2.9 missed its scheduled release date by three days, it's
pretty simple. When the new viruses appeared, I was in the middle
of work on a new and improved Gatekeeper which was going to be
version 1.2.9 in a couple of months. Unfortunately the work, while
mostly complete, still wasn't quite finished at the time those
viruses appeared. So I had to either (a) try to finish the new
improvements very quickly, or (b) rip them all out and return,
more or less, to the functionality of 1.2.8. I went for option
'b'. Unfortunately, while I was ripping out the nifty new code, I
overlooked one file in one of the ten or so projects that currently
combine to form Gatekeeper. Consequently, some of that new code
which wasn't quite finished was built into one portion of version
1.2.9. Since it was mostly working, it passed all my in-house
(actually "in-office" would be more accurate) tests prior to
release, but failed when it finally met up with the real world.

Why didn't I just go back to the archived 1.2.8 source? Because
there were some bug fixes and various uncontroversial (but
significant) improvements already in 1.2.9 which I certainly
wanted to be part of any new release.

So, here's 1.3; use it in good health. Please delete any copies of
1.2.9 that you may have laying around and spread the word that 1.3
is available.

[Thanks, BTW, go to Brian Price for allowing himself to be
 dragooned into running some last minute tests.]

Subject: [*] MacHistory 11/93 (Excellent Mac Chart!)

Newest Version of a chart I sent before. Here is the readme:

Welcome to Mac History, version 11/93.  This installment features a new
category for date of discontinuation (the biggest request). It also has a
correction for the new Quadra 610 8/160 (no FPU, as Apple incorrectly
stated it did on its product sheets), and introduction of the new
MacintoshTV.  Now on to the standard fare...

Once again, I have constructed the chart in the Times font only and in
PICT format (done in Deneba'a UltraPaint), so most everyone will have it
at their disposal.  I have also found the secret to making the chart
consume less memory, so most graphic programs will open it up with a
couple of megs of memory.  If you are in a low-memory configuration, you
will find Teach Text to work very well.  To print with Teach Text, make
sure that you print it at about 95% its actual size (Teach Text will make
the chart to big because of the way it handles graphics).  If you have a
laser with the capability of selecting "graphics smoothing" (Apple lasers
in the page setup dialog box), use it, as the graphics will lose their bit
mapped look and turn out pretty nice.  Both a black and white
(LaserHistory) and color (ColorHistory) version have been provided.  Each
is divided into two parts.

Please remember what the original intent of this chart was to help inform
those that had questions about how different Macs compared.  I think I
still retain that quality of performance comparisons, while giving a
historic sense (timeline if you will) of the Mac universe.  If you pass
this chart around electronically, please retain this Read Me document with
it so others will have the same benefits as you in knowing how to print
Mac History.  If you have questions, requests, corrections, or would like
to comment about Mac History, you can reach me at the following mailboxes...

America Online - "Toymaster"
Apple Link - "R7103"
FidoNet 1:152/42

I hope it brings as much as help and enjoyment as it was fun to make,

Subject: [*] New version of Bestplace

Dear Moderator,

Please replace Bestplace 1.01 with Bestplace 1.0.2 which fixes a bug in
the version 1.01 which prevented the user from entering non-interger values
in the distance fields. Bestplace is currently in the Science-Math directory.

Thanks, Jim Allison

Bestplace 1.0.2:

Bestplace is program which can be used to find the best place to position
speakers in a listening room.  The program is based on Roy Allison's
research into the effects of speaker placement  on the accuracy of the
sound produced. Allison has been one of the leading figures in the audio
industry for the past 30 years. The program plots a room augmentation
curve for a speaker placed at any position within a room, and so allows
experimentation to find acceptable positions that are also practical for use.

An augmentation curve is a frequency vs. amplitude plot showing how
nearby boundaries affect the power output of a speaker. The curve's shape
is dependant on the location of the woofer with respect to the three nearest
boundaries. The program also plots the power output of some specific
speakers and contains background material on the historical development
of the home Hi-Fi industry over the years. Finally there is information on
Allison's current speaker designs. Bestplace is FreeWare, enjoy!

Subject: [*] Save Princeton 1.9

   This is Save Princeton v1.9. Save Princeton is a text-adventure
game set at Princeton University. Version 1.9 corrects a few minor bugs
>From previous versions, and updates my address.

    You don't need any special knowledge of Princeton to enjoy the game,
which pits the player against mysterious invaders who have taken over
campus. In fact, Save Princeton's off-beat sense of humor and elegant
puzzles should appeal to anybody who enjoys adventure games--or mental
challenges of any sort.

    Save Princeton was created with TADS, and has a highly
intelligent parser. The game has a vocabulary of 981 words, and there
are 52 locations. This puts it at least on the level of the old Infocom
games in terms of depth. ("Deadline" had a vocabulary of 656 words;
"Enchanter," 723.)
    Save Princeton is shareware, with a fee of $10. It should work
on everything from  a Mac Plus on up, with any system greater than 6.0.
It will probably work on even older systems, but I can't make any
promises.

Subject: [*] Tradex (Replacement)

Tradex is a stock market technical analysis and portfolio manager for the
Macintosh.  It has been designed as a sophisticated tool for the
reasonably experienced or expert technical analyst to evaluate stocks with
respect to their historical prices and volumes.

Most of the well-known technical indicators are included, as well as some
not-so-well-known ones, and some unique specimens as well.  These
indicator functions can be applied in any combination.  For example, you
can take a 12-period moving average, a 7-period moving average of that
12-period moving average, the momentum of the 7-period moving average, etc.

A simple but adequate portfolio manager is included that ties in with
historical data and can evaluate the portfolio in terms of profitability

Subject: [*] XLisp 2.1e3 for Macintosh (including source code)

This is the latest version of MacXLisp, 2.1e3.  This supersedes any earlier
version of XLisp you might have, and note that it replaces both "xlispmac"
and "xlispsrc" -- the application and Macintosh-specific source code are
both in this one archive now.

XLisp is a free implementation of Lisp with many features, including object-
oriented extensions and some compatibility with Common Lisp.  This is my port
of XLisp to the Macintosh; it is fully compatible with XLisp applications
written on other operating systems.  Think of this as the "poor man's MCL".

I've added a lot of little bug fixes and enhancements to the interface in
this release, and I'm releasing it primarily so I can make sure they all work
before 2.1f is released.  Please don't hesitate to send me bug reports and
enhancement requests!

Subject: 1984 commercial

Hi everyone,

There may be a way to obtain the 1984 Macintosh commercial on videotape.
A while ago, the BBC broadcast a series of programs called "the dream
machine".
It's a 3 part series about the development of the computer. Part 2 is about
the evolution of user-interfaces (from card decks to Macintosh).
The commercial is part of this program.

Chinese Windows 3.1 from MicroSoft comes with a TrueType font
MingLi which can be rotated counterclockwise by 90 degree. An
article printed in landscape mode appears in columns from right to
left, just the way Chinese is.

Is that satisfactory? I don't know about others but I am not
satisfied. What I want is to be able to read and edit Chinese on
screen in column. Is such a feature difficult to implement? I don't
know but MacHanzi, a program of 10 K, can display Chinese on screen
in column.

I use DEII, myself, and am very happy with it.  I have it set to defrag
my HD every Saturday morning, but you could set it to defrag during any
idle time.  I'm quite happy with DEII, and recommend it wholeheartedly.
Of course, your mileage may vary.

BTW, the Dec93 issues of Macworld and MacUser each has an ad that (I believe)
states that AlSOFT is giving away 100 000 copies of DEII for free(?).

Subject: AV machines and games

I just got a new Centris (or Quadra?) 660AV with the Audiovision monitor and
CD.
To my surprise, I found that half of my games (Hellcats, Falcon MC, etc.)
run ok, except for one thing: NO SOUND. I tried everything in the Sound
control panel, to no avail. It's incredible that a system announced as the
leading edge in Audio/Vision technology can not play any of the sounds of
these games. I know that the cost of pioeneering is some degree of
incompatibility, but this is absurd. Why is that every time Apple releases
a new system, half of the software behaves extrangely?

Are there any patches to make Hellcats and/or Falcon MC to run ok on these
systems?

Any help will be appreciated...

Subject: DiskExpress

On Sunday [e-mail] had a query about DiskExpress.

I am a satisfied user of DiskExpress. I first acquired it about two years ago,
and have upgraded it religiously. The most recent version I have is 2.20,
which
 I believe to be the most recent. I used to have it on all the time, but now
set it to work at night on certain days of the week only. The reason I
switched
 to this more conservative approach was to reduce wear and tear on the hard
disks (it use to come on several times a day!).

I certainly have no hesitation in recommending the item itself, but cannot
comment on the support from AlSoft since I have had very little occasion to
avail of it. I make the latter point in reaction to some recent postings I
have
 seen on Mac-List decrying the quality of support offered (or, NOT offered!)

Cheers.

Subject: French system on the Mac (A)

To all those who responded to my recent query re: World Script - thanks for
taking the time to reply.

I wanted to install the French system on my IIsi simply because I wanted a
French environment (i.e. French dialog and alert boxes, menus, balloons,
etc.) to help me develop some technical vocabulary. I certainly know how to
produce diacritical marks in Microsoft Word, and don't need the AZERTY
keyboard.

I had downloaded the French system 7.0.1 and converted the image files to
disk and had attempted a custom install which was unsuccessful. After
messing around a bit and trying some helpful suggestions from Richard Lim,
I successfully installed the system and now am enjoying l'ambiance
francaise. Unfortunately, I could not get CE's DiskTop Launch to operate
properly, but I'll work that out eventually or drop a line to the company.

I now know that World Script is what I can resort to when I want to compose
my Hebrew text files.

Thanks again to all you helpful netters out there. Your interest was much
appreciated.

I've been using Mosaic on Sun machines for the last few weeks, and,
IMHO, it's the best interface to the World Wide Web I've run across.
The Mac version is also very nice (although it's a little slow
probably due to the connections of the Macs I use).  Anyone who really
wants to browse through the Web to get information or access different
Internet services should seriously consider using this program.  It's
quite amazing.

That bugs, I say, sir, bugs in the plural.

Well, calling their Tech Support number is a waste of time and money
(it's not toll free). Mostly busy signals, when you do get through you're
put on hold, and finally the line goes dead.

I described, in detail, my problems with the Investment portion of
the program in a letter to Tech Support (address in manual) and within
_weeks_ received Maintenance Release 4 in the mail.  Anyone is free
to use the problem I described in last week's digest if they are trying
to get a bug fix out of Intuit.  IMHO, if they wanted just _anyone_ to
get the bug fix, they would have publically announced its
availabilty and made an updater available on-line. So telling them that
you're having problems is probably required.

As I noted in one of my previous posts, Intuit is in the process of
establishing an area on AOL. Wasn't functioning last time I check.
This _might_ be one place to look for help with fixing Quicken 4.0.

Try giving the application that is "unexpectedly quitting" more memory.
I've found that this works in most, if not, all cases. Select the

menu.Increase the preferred size to a size that is suitable to your RAM

I have a similar system.

What I would suggest is upgrading to 4Mb memory (the maximum you can
do without more serious -- and expensive -- alterations) and
installing System 7.0.1.  That configuration works wonderfully on my
SE, running many popular software packages without a hitch.  You could
get by with less memory, I suppose, but less than 2Mb would probably
be unusable.

My SE boots off the HD just fine, but I don't know if it's a hardware
or software change that'll enable it.  A boot device selector is
included with System 7.

Anyway next in line in an upgrade is the HD -- and upgrading this will
have a substantial impact on usability.  HD's start at a bit more than
$200 from discount mail-order houses for a 40Mb drive.  There's little
difference in cost between 40- and 120Mb drives nowadays, and a few
more dollars will get you a 240Mb drive (the cheapest I've found was
$310 from Mac's Place).  This may be out of your price range but
should be considered if possible.

Those kind of upgrades will make the Mac usable for awhile (or at
least I hope so :-).

As far as I know it can only be found with a shareware communications package
called *Communications Lite*, which is available for downloading at SUMEX.

There is an extension called Stretch which not only allows one to resize a
window by draggin any of its edges, it also allows you to drag a window by
clicking on any part of its frame.  The look of your windows is slightly
different, but not dramatically.  I don't use it, but could probably find a
copy somewhere for you if you don't see it in the archives.

Another trick you can use with some applications, is when there is an option
to
tile, cleanup the windows. This will bring all your windows back where they
should be.

It's unfortunate that the applications you are having this problem with,
didn't
program to prevent the behaviour. Send a bug report.
