TidBITS#174/26-Apr-93
=====================

 Lots of little bits this week, including comments, corrections,
   and tips about System 7. Mark Anbinder covers the malicious
   INIT-M virus along with an excellent offer for a
   MS Mail/Internet gateway that expires at the end of the week.
   On the lighter side we have Ian Feldman's intriguing list of
   fiction set in computer or programming environments. Finally,
   a look into the future at the PowerBook 145B, the next cheap
   PowerBook, and what it means for Apple.

MailBITS/26-Apr-93
------------------

**UnMountIt Availability** -- George Headley <[e-mail]>
  writes to tell us that UnMountIt, the free utility from Apple that
  aids in unmounting shared removable volumes, is available on
  <ftp.apple.com> for anonymous FTP. Look for /dts/mac/hacks/fsid.hqx
  which contains several utilities in disk image form (use DiskCopy
  to read it).


**Quadra 700 Comments** -- Brian Hughes <[e-mail]>
  writes to tell us that Glenn Fleishman's editorial on the Quadra
  700 had some incorrect information. The LC and LC II max out at
  512K of VRAM, which is enough for 16-bit color on the 12" monitor
  only (8-bit color on the 13"/14" monitor), and the LC III tops out
  at 768K VRAM, which will handle 16-bit color on monitors up to
  13"/14".

  Michael Peirce <[e-mail]>, author of Smoothie,
  which smooths jaggies in on-screen presentations, comments that
  Apple might be throwing a bone to the video card manufacturers,
  who would otherwise lose customers who have 24-bit internal video.
  Otherwise, Apple risks losing these manufacturers to the Windows
  market, where fast, high-quality video is an absolute necessity.
  Michael also notes that many people doing high-end 24-bit color
  work also need big monitors, and even the 24-bit color on the
  Quadra 700, 900, and 950 only works up to 16".


**Damaged Fonts** -- Lloyd Lim <[e-mail]> says that a
  good check for bad font files, along with other files with
  resource forks, is to run John Norstad's excellent virus fighter,
  Disinfectant (now at version 3.2, see below), which checks for and
  reports damaged resource forks. It may not catch all types of
  damage, but it is a useful troubleshooting tool.


**More System 7 Answers** -- Brian Jewett <[e-mail]>
  adds another thing to check for when experiencing Bad F-line
  errors. After much trouble, he discovered the culprit was an old
  ROM in his RasterOps video board, which was apparently not 32-bit
  QuickDraw-friendly. So consider older hardware in strange
  troubleshooting situations.

  Quinn <[e-mail]> chimes in that if you experience a
  weird system error while running on a 68040 machine, it's worth
  testing with the caches off. There are utilities to shut them off
  flexibly, but you can also open the Cache Switch Control Panel,
  hold down the option key, and click the More Compatible button. If
  your Cache Switch Control Panel is missing, look on your System
  disks; it usually ships on the Tidbits disk.

  Jon Pugh <[e-mail]> supplies additional answers that we
  hadn't known. You can get 8-bit icons for floppies by setting the
  Custom Icon bit for the floppy by dropping it on FileTyper 4.0.
  Also, we mentioned AppleScript as a reason to upgrade to System
  7.1, but Jon says AppleScript runs fine under 7.0 and 7.0.1.
  AppleScript is shipping from APDA, although they may not have
  disks in quantity yet.

  Todd Hooper <[e-mail]> comments that reformatting your
  hard drive to retrieve that extra bit of space may cause the HFS
  bug we discussed last issue to appear. If you do reformat your
  hard disk and change partition sizes, run the Disk Bug Checker
  before you rely on the disk heavily.

  Alex McCormick <[e-mail]> notes that zapping the
  PRAM as a troubleshooting measure is a good idea, but will require
  some work to reset your default settings (time and date and all
  that). The most important thing to watch, though, is that zapping
  the PRAM will also kill a PowerBook's RAM disk, which may contain
  information you don't have backed up.


**HFS Clarification** -- Dave Camp <[e-mail]> of
  Central Point Software and author of the Disk Bug Checker we
  mentioned last issue, wrote to clarify that Central Point Software
  wrote the free program as a service to their customers who may
  have experienced the problem. Thanks to Dave and Central Point for
  making this useful utility available to the Macintosh community.


**PowerPoint Problem** -- We found out more details about what may
  have caused the problem Andrew Nielsen reported in TidBITS #169_
  with launching PowerPoint from his Duo. It turns out that
  launching PowerPoint 3.0 will crash any enabled Mac if you use a
  version of the Shared Code Manager earlier than 1.0.5. The Shared
  Code manager is an extension that allows OLE (object linking and
  embedding) to work with PowerPoint. You can fix the problem in the
  short term by trashing Shared Code Manager and in the long term by
  using an updated version of the Shared Code Manager.

**EndNote Upgrade** -- Niles & Associates released new versions of
  the $149 EndNote and $249 EndNote Plus that work with Nisus and
  FrameMaker, should you need bibliographic features in either of
  those programs. Upgrades cost $19, and moving from EndNote to
  EndNote Plus is $99. Niles & Associates -- 510/649-8176 --

**America Online Cheapened** -- America Online now boasts lower
  access rates of $9.95 per month, which includes the first five
  hours of usage at any time of day (starts 01-May-93) and $3.50 per
  hour for usage after those first five hours (starts 01-Jul-93).
  AOL still lacks 9,600 bps access, but rumors hint that it won't be
  any more expensive when it appears real soon now.


Malicious Virus On The Loose
----------------------------
  by Mark H. Anbinder, Contributing Editor -- [e-mail]
     Technical Support Coordinator, BAKA Computers

  Gene Spafford of Purdue University yesterday released a joint
  announcement for the various antiviral utility publishers,
  describing a newly-discovered virus (dubbed INIT-M) and a suite of
  new versions of the popular antiviral utilities.

  INIT-M is a MALICIOUS virus and can result in irreparable damage
  to your files, folders, and file systems. It is different from the
  INIT 17 virus announced on 12-Apr-93.

  INIT-M rapidly spreads to applications, system extensions,
  documents and preference files under System 7; it does not spread
  or activate on System 6 systems. The virus spreads as the
  application files run, and is likely to spread extensively on an
  infected machine. The infection is accomplished by altering
  existing program code. Besides this incidental damage (that may,
  because of bugs in the virus code, cause more severe damage), the
  virus also does extensive damage to systems running on any Friday
  the 13th - NOT just booted on that day. Files and folders will be
  renamed to random strings, creation and modification dates will be
  changed, and file creator and type information will be scrambled.
  In rare circumstances, a file or files may be deleted. This
  behavior is similar to the previously announced (Mar-92) INIT-1984
  virus. Recovery from this damage will be difficult or impossible.

  Note that the next three Friday the 13ths are in August 1993, May
  1994, and January 1995.

  The virus, when present on an infected system, may interfere with
  the proper display of some application window operations. It will
  also create a file named "FSV Prefs" in the Preferences folder.

  John Norstad has released version 3.2 of his free Disinfectant
  utility to detect and remove this virus. It is available via
  anonymous FTP from ftp.acns.nwu.edu (stored as a BinHexed self-
  extracting archive) or rascal.ics.utexas.edu (stored as a binary
  self-extracting archive), and from other usual sources.

  Recent versions of Chris Johnson's free Gatekeeper utility (the
  current version is 1.2.7) and Symantec's SAM Intercept (in
  advanced and custom mode) are already effective and should
  generate an alert if the virus tries to infect a file. Gatekeeper
  1.2.7 is available from rascal.ics.utexas.edu and other FTP
  archives, as well as other usual sources.

  The other major antiviral utilities have new versions ready.
  Contact your utility's vendor for update information.


PostalUnion Unites MS Mail, Internet Mail
-----------------------------------------
  by Mark H. Anbinder, Contributing Editor -- [e-mail]
     Technical Support Coordinator, BAKA Computers

  Information Electronics announced that it is shipping its fifth
  gateway to the Internet, PostalUnion/SMTP for Microsoft Mail. In
  celebration of its fifth Internet gateway product (eleventh
  gateway overall), the company is offering a pre-release special
  price of $695 for its unlimited-users package linking Microsoft
  Mail to the Internet via SMTP, instead of the full price of $995.

  This new gateway fits into IE's family of PostalUnion gateways,
  which take advantage of the company's rich, modular PostalUnion
  mail interchange system. The company develops a single PostalUnion
  module for each mail system, and combines these modules to create
  the needed gateway products. The PostalUnion format itself is an
  intermediate storage format that includes all mail attributes and
  capabilities of the supported mail systems, as well as a number of
  attributes and capabilities not available in current mail
  products. This ingenious approach helps the company take most of
  the drudgery out of developing each gateway, and, they say, allows
  them to pass the savings in time and expense to the purchaser.

  To date, the company has developed PostalUnion modules for
  FirstClass, Microsoft Mail, QuickMail, Internet via SMTP (Simple
  Mail Transfer Protocol), and Internet via UUCP . Available
  gateways include FirstClass to Microsoft Mail, FirstClass to
  Internet (both SMTP and UUCP), FirstClass to QuickMail, and
  QuickMail to Microsoft Mail. The company has a wide installed user
  base of its SMTP\QM and UMCP\QM Internet gateways for QuickMail
  (using pre-PostalUnion technology), and plans to provide an
  upgrade path for these users at a future time.

  The PostalUnion/SMTP for Microsoft Mail gateway offers an
  unlimited-user license (including support for multiple Microsoft
  Mail servers), a POP3 feature allowing users of both Microsoft
  Mail and a POP3 client to combine their mail into one mailbox,
  direct MacTCP support, support for the full Microsoft Mail user
  name and custom aliases, UNIX-style .signature files, automatic
  word wrap in outgoing mail, automatic support for uuencoded
  AppleSingle or BinHex enclosures, and a character translation
  table to turn the Mac's extended character set into readable text
  for the rest of the universe.

  Orders for this gateway at the introductory price of $695 must be
  pre-paid by check (New York State customers must add sales tax.
  Credit card orders are not accepted, and purchase orders must be
  accompanied by check). Canadian customers should add $15 for
  shipping, and all other non-U.S. customers should add $30. U.S.
  customers will receive second-day UPS Blue shipping where possible
  at no extra charge. The offer expires at the end of this week, as
  the software is being released on 01-May-93. Send to:

Fiction in Computer Science
---------------------------
  by Ian Feldman -- [e-mail]

  Some time ago I asked in the rec.arts.books group on the Usenet
  about preferably-non-Science-Fiction books set in academic
  Computer Science or _programming_ environments. Judging from
  results of that survey there don't yet seem to be many such works
  that deal with the everyday dilemmas faced by programmers
  (technical and moral). This is why you'll also find below a number
  of cyberpunk, rather than strictly-programmer, titles. Unlike the
  rest of TidBITS, this list has been formatted _primarily_ for
  paper printout and, at 69 lines in length, should therefore fit
  easily on a single page. Enjoy!

PowerBook 145B & Apple Strategy
-------------------------------
  After all my yammering about what a wonderful idea the PowerBook
  100 suddenly became after Apple dropped the price, it looks like
  the powers-that-be at Apple listened. Or, should I say, that's
  what those of us doing the yammering would like to believe. On
  June 15th, Apple will announce the PowerBook 180c (active matrix
  color screen on a PowerBook 180) and the 145B. I don't know what
  that "B" stands for, but I suspect "budget" or "bare bones" or
  perhaps something totally nonsensical like "brillig." That's
  right, we're going to see another cheap PowerBook. Rumored prices
  currently range from $1,300 to $1,500.

  The 145B, according to one source, will replace the 145, but it
  won't differ significantly from its predecessor. In fact, the only
  technical difference that I'm sure of is that the 145B will have a
  slight daughterboard modification to will provide 4 MB of RAM
  soldered on. The RAM slot will remain the same, but don't bother
  putting a 6 MB card in since the 145B will still only address 8 MB
  of RAM total.

  So how else will the 145B differ from the 145? It won't ship with
  System disks (but it will come with a backup program that I
  suspect will be the one that comes with the Performas), it won't
  have a microphone, and it may ship with ARA Client and a bunch of
  software demos on the hard disk. Those are small changes, but when
  multiplied over many thousands of machine they may make a
  significant difference to Apple's bottom line. I wouldn't even be
  surprised to see the 145B ship with documentation on a diet.

  The immediate response, especially from tech support people who
  get their jollies from having troubleshooting-challenged customers
  boot with the Disk Tools disk, will undoubtedly be an outraged
  squawk. But think, folks. How many people would buy PowerBook
  145Bs as their only Macs? I'm willing to put money on that number
  being low. And, to further lower the number of people affected,
  how many of those PowerBook 145B-only users would be sufficiently
  inexperienced to fail to realize they can get System 7.0.x for
  free? So everyone should already have or can easily get a set of
  System disks (and please do, folks, if only to appease the
  overworked tech support therapists). I have at least three sets of
  System disks right now, and a number of sets of documentation,
  none of which I ever read.

  [I suppose Adam is right, but I hope Apple sells that 145B with a
  warning right on the box - "This Macintosh does not come with a
  set of System 7 disks. Proceed at your own risk." -Tonya]

  Oh, and the microphone? Neat idea, but the support for sound in
  Macintosh applications has generally been abysmal. I'm not talking
  about sound for sound's sake, but sound for productivity's sake. I
  doubt many people will miss the microphone.

  I think the 145B is an excellent idea as I currently understand
  it. This isn't say that some little detail won't appear later on
  that will change my mind, such as learning (and this is
  hypothetical!) that another missing feature is the one-year
  warranty. That would bug me.

  Apple has shown that dropping the price on soon-to-be obsolete
  machines works well; it increases market share and customer
  loyalty, although it probably doesn't affect the large corporate
  accounts much, and they exert an unfortunately disproportionate
  level of influence. But can this sort of price drop work on a
  machine that isn't yet on the endangered list? The concept of
  stripping a machine down to the bare minimum is certainly not new.
  The technique originated in the computer industry with the no-name
  PC-clone manufacturers who would put together a customized system
  for you or let you buy only those parts you wanted. And, those
  prices that were so commonly batted around for extremely cheap PC
  clones often didn't include DOS or manuals or even necessary
  cables at times. Hmm, pre-format the hard disk and don't include
  the operating system and some other package stuff. Sounds like the
  145B.

  This technique serves the picky power user perfectly. When I buy
  my next Mac, I will want a minimum of 20 MB of RAM and a lot more
  hard disk space than I have now. The Apple monitors are nice, but
  I've heard good things about NEC's recent entries, and frankly,
  I've never liked the feel of Apple's keyboards, especially the
  el-cheapo one that came with the Classic. So why should I pay for
  Apple memory, hard drives, monitors, and keyboards when I can buy
  equipment more suited to my work style for less money elsewhere?
  Support isn't a big issue; I know what I'm doing. So, for
  instance, I'd like a Quadra 800 with no hard drive and only the
  motherboard memory. Nothing else. If you're like me, machines like
  that 145B are just what you want.

  The negative aspects of this technique are obvious. Many don't
  wish  to make lots of choices from the Macintosh buffet. They want
  to give someone money and have the system up and running out of
  the box, plain and simple. And, equally as clearly, Apple earns
  less money which could affect the company negatively and result in
  less or slower innovation. But still, I think there is room in
  Apple's product line for stripped models of certain Macs.


Another view
  In his first column for Macworld (Jun-93), Guy Kawasaki (what does
  he really _do_ in the industry these days, other than push
  TouchBASE and Norton Essentials for PowerBook at user group
  meetings?) suggests that Apple bless three models of the Macintosh
  and discontinue the rest in order to make it easy for people to
  decide which model to buy. Guy's suggestion has some attraction,
  especially for the indecisive and for those poor tech support
  people, who are having trouble keeping up with the Macintosh of
  the month since they have to know every model. And, from the
  perspective of Guy, a man who left Apple just after the
  introduction of the Macintosh SE and Macintosh II, it's not in the
  least bit surprising.

  However, Guy carefully ignores some basic marketing issues. Back
  in the spring of 1987, when Guy left Apple for ACIUS, there were
  far fewer computers, far fewer computer users, and most notably,
  far fewer Macintosh users. It's easy to keep a small number of
  people happy with a small number of choices, but as your audience
  increases in size, so does the number of different viewpoints and
  desires expressed therein. Combine that with the concept of
  filling shelf space, and you see that the SE and II could exist on
  their own because they had far less immediate competition from PC
  clones (they weren't sold in the same places, for one). Even
  still, Macs always looked outnumbered whenever they were displayed
  with other computers. That's what having 15 models of Macs does
  for you, and discontinuing all but three Macs (Guy suggests the
  Color Classic, PowerBook 160, and Centris 650) would significantly
  shrink Apple's presence in stores. Small presence, small sales.
  See TidBITS #171_ for Marc Kossover's article on shelf space wars.

  This isn't to imply that Apple is correct to keep ramping up the
  number of models at all times. For instance, the IIvx has never
  excited me, and with the quick introduction of the LC III below it
  and the Centris 610 and 650 above it, I can't see much reason to
  keep it around. And, as much as I like the Duos, there isn't much
  difference between them. Pick one, discontinue the other.
  Judicious weeding and the introduction of some stripped models for
  the budget-conscious power user could be the combination Apple
  needs, although with the Star Trek project at Apple putting the
  Macintosh operating system on PC machines on top of Novell's DR
  DOS, all bets are off as to what Apple's crack (or cracked?)
  marketing team will do next.
