-- Multi-language compatibility

Now the folder (Eudora Folder in English) and file (Eudora Settings) to change
are stored in the resource fork of Autograph (STR# 100). If I don't have a
version of Autograph in YOUR language, you can make one! I currently have only

-- Random signatures

Yes, that feature we've all been waiting for:

If you drag a FOLDER over Autograph, it picks a random file in that folder to
be
your signature. Be careful. Make sure all your files in that folder are
acceptable signature files.

** WARNING Autograph only works with Eudora. If you don't have Eudora, give
up.
If you don't know what Eudora is, give up. You also need System 7.

** WHAT IT DOES Not much. It changes your signature in Eudora. You can drag and
drop a text file onto Autograph and it'll change your Eudora signature to
that.
If you tell it to make a TEXT file into a signature, the next time you
double-click on the file, the signature in Eudora will be changed to it. The
idea is to have a folder of signatures, any which one can be double-clicked on
to change your signature. Drag the whole folder over Autograph if you want
Autograph to pick a random one. Oh yeah, if Eudora happens to be running when
you double-click one of the signatures, it'll switch back to Eudora.

** DAVE-WARE If you use it, drop me a line (or smile).

Merchant! v0.50b1 was finally released by Delphic Software.

All registered users who wish to have their free upgrades should contact
Michael Marshburn of Delphic Software either at:

PUMA BBS - Aeolus/Delphic Software Support BBS - [phone]
    <2 lines, both at 14.4 - Automatic Rollover>

Internet:  [e-mail]

He will check his records and follow "any procedure he wishes."

On to *my* review of the wonderful new upgrade:

    Seems bugless, unlike previous versions of the external, much
faster, more efficient, and generally "worth buying." Previous versions
were plagued with mass amounts of bugs, inefficiencies, etc. This great
external is definitely worth checking out. Lots of fun with the TW-2002
theme.

    Price was bumped back up to $20. Oh well. :)

    Internet services. It should be read by anyone wishing to post

Archive-name: internet-services/faq

INTERNET SERVICES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Version 1.8 - 13 April, 1994

*** CHANGES IN THIS VERSION:
2.1: added NVN (National VideoText Network)
2.2: added NVN (National VideoText Network)
2.2: can now telnet to CompuServe!
3.4: updated List of Lists
3.4: updates Surfing the Internet
???: lots of random little fixes
3.6: removed the section 3.6: "What's a good book to read for more
information about the Internet?" and created a new periodic posting (see
below).

*** PARDON OUR DUST
Ok, kids. This FAQ is about due for a major overhaul. The Internet
changes quickly, making maintenance of this particular FAQ a chore. So,
as soon as I finish my book at the end of April (well, give me a week to
sleep. As soon as I wake up...) I plan to raze this FAQ list, update it
and give it new life. Among my planned changes: removal of info re dead
and dying Internet documents, addition of info obout sleek new 'net
documents (like the Big Dummy's Guide version 2), info on how to fax
>From the 'net, better explanations of 'net tools (like Archie/ Gopher/
Netfind/ Veronica/ WAIS/ WHOIS/ WWW...) and lots of other good stuff.
This list will revert to its task of being a pointer to pointers rather
than an answer source itself.

The changes have already started: I have removed the question "What's a
good book to read for more information about the Internet?" Quite
simply, that question outgrew this FAQ list. I've started a new periodic
posting, "The Unofficial Internet Book List", listing lots and lots of
'net books, many with descriptions. It is (or will soon be) available
via FTP from:
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services/booklist
For further information, or to automatically receive updates of the
booklist, send mail to "[e-mail]".

Hi!

This package contain updaters to the Myst game. I created them
with UpdateMaker.

On a local BBS I found version 1.0.1 of the Myst application. It
seems to work OK, and may help those who have problems with the
game. There is no documentation, so I don't know what was fixed.

I have no connections with Cyan or Broderbund, and these updaters
are not official. Yet I want to share this update with others.

Subject: [*] Pictify 1.5 (resubmission); a screen capture utility

After I first uploaded this I discovered that I had binhexed the
 archive twice. I resubmitted it but I may have done that incorrectly.

I was recently informed by someone about a problem with the file at
 the Sumex-Aim archive. I downloaded it and it is indeed binhexed
 twice (I think I should take up something easier than email but I
 don't think I have any skill with snail-watching). I don't know which
 of the archives still have the 2x binhex file so I am sending it off
 yet again. *sigh*

For those who don't yet know here is some info from the readme:

PICTify by Scott A. Johnson

PICTify is a control panel that provides you with screen capturing
capabilities and is provided FREE of charge.  You may capture the
entire screen, a selection that you define, the frontmost window, or
a pulled-down menu (including popup menus) to a file or to the clipboard.
If you choose to save the snapshot to a file, you have the option of
saving it to a TeachText* PICT file or to a ResEdit file which will contain
a 'PICT' resource and a couple of other resources which define the
dimensions of the PICT.  I find the latter option essential for capturing
pictures I've drawn to include in about boxes or other parts of my programs.

Print Juggler is a simple utility that allows:
% Monitoring of several printers and their status.  The user is shown
  whether the printers are idle, busy, not connected, or in some error
  state.  This is done with special icons that the user creates on the
  desktop.  More detailed information can be obtained from the Print
  Juggler menu at any time.
% Bypassing the Chooser by allowing the user to select a printer by
  using the Print Juggler menu or by double-clicking on one of the
  desktop icons (this method is disabled in the demo)

Subject: [Q] Seeking better terminal and modem tools

I'm looking for replacements to the Apple Modem Tool and Apple's VT102
Tool terminal emulator that fix some or all of the following problems.
Suggestions of free/commercial/shareware replacements would be greatly
appreciated.  I've looked in the info-mac archive, on Apple's ftp
server and used archie with no luck, but I may have overlooked
something.

Just so you know where I'm coming from, I'm used to ZTerm 0.9, which
has none of the following bugs/lack-of-features, but now I need to use
the Comm Toolbox for various reasons.  It's possible that some of
these problems are caused by the application that uses the Apple Modem
Tool and VT102 Tool; I don't know.

(1) There is apparently no way to set a terminal size other than 24x80.
(2) There is no ability to simulate a shifted meta key (as opposed to
    using ESC, which is not a shift key).
(3) The application using these tools frequently "unexpectedly quits"
    when I try to highlight text with the mouse for Cut and Paste.
(4) There is apparently no pre-dial initialization string.
(5) The beep sound (as set in the Sounds control panel) is not
    respected.  The Simple Beep is always used instead.
(6) Limited window output history (scroll history?)
(7) When telnetting to another system, typing control-Z breaks the
    connection rather than just suspending the process.  (I can't
    imagine what this has to do with the Apple Modem Tool, but I note
    that ZTerm doesn't have this problem.)
(8) While dialing, it's impossible to switch to another application
    to get useful work done.  If the phone is busy this can take a
    while.

Configuration:
  Mac IIsi with System 7.0
  Apple Modem Tool 1.1.1
  VT102 Tool 1.0.2 (from Basic Conn Set 1.1.1)

Thanks for any help.  -Carl

Well, four people (oops, 5 now) mailed me DiskCopy 5.0d1, so I'll admit
that it exists. However, we got into this discussion by talking about
MountImage, and the troubles that were caused by people using leaked beta

been paying attention?

FYI, I will not be posting it and I don't recommend that others do either.
Wait for the release version.  Also, not one person remembered where they
got it from although one person was almost certain it was from a Developer CD.
Just remember that's where the buggy versions of MountImage came from too.  ;)

I'm speaking here as one who has been burned before.  Heck, I even

Keep in mind that Archie servers aren't updated all that often, perhaps
as little as once per month. This keeps them from bogging down the
network by transferring directories all the time, but makes them useless
for recent files. In addition, the archie.internic.net server that
I use seldom returns more than about five of the mirror sites - hence
if you use Anarchie, it ends up being easiest to retrieve a file from
Sweden, inefficient as that is, since there are seldom any closer
mirrors listed. Sigh.

From: [e-mail] (Johan Solve)
Subject: Color StyleWriter Pro brief review/speed test

I received my Color StyleWriter Pro (CSW) a few days ago. It is replacing
the ol' StyleWriter II (SWII) for me, so this review is partly a
compararison between these two printers.
First of all, I want to say that I'm only a happy amateur when it comes to
color printing. My need for a color printer is strictly hobby related. I
have no need for (or knowledge of) an exact color proofing system. Please
don't make any purchase decisions based solely on this brief review.

After playing with the CSW some days, the impression is beyond my
expectations.
It is only a little bit larger than the SWII (about two inches more on
width and depth) and it weighs 5 kg (2 more than SWII). It has a compact
design, yet not as slim as the SWII. It is more silent. It has the same
paper handling. It is fast, compared to my expectations after printing
grayscale photos on the SWII. And best of all, it has nearly no striping
thanks to the overlapping printing technique. Ink jet printers are
otherwise infamous for their stripy output.

The colors are bright and vivid even on cheap photo copier paper. I haven't
tried those glossy coated papers yet, but the manual claims these give
significantly better output. BTW, the printer comes bundled with two
transparencies and two high quality glossy papers go give a taste of what
can be done (special ink jet transparencies are needed.)
Compared to the $3000 NEC Colormate PS thermo transfer printer here at the
department, I'm willing to say that the CSW's output is more sharp, has
higher resolution and (thanks to ColorSync that comes with CSW) better
color balance. And ColorSync probably makes it possible to calibrate the
colors to match even better if you make your own ColorSync profile, but I
have too little knowledge of ColorSync to know what can be done.
I haven't had the chance to compare the CSW to any of HP's color printers,
but I surely think the design of the CSW is better than that of HP's.
Further, the CSW driver appears to be very stable and rigid, which is not
what I've heard about the HP's drivers (but that is only hearsay).

I'm only disappointed that plain black text output is up to three times
slower than the StryleWriter II. See the speed test below for further
details.

The cost for printing plain black text on CSW is actually slightly lower
than the cost for SWII. A cartridge should last for about 300 pages at 5%
coverage, the corresponding figure for SWII is 500 pages. As the color
cartridges for the CSW are half as expensive than those for SWII, the cost
for CSW is about 80% of that of SWII.
The CSW has separate ink containers for each color. The 9 ml containers are
transparent, so it's easy to see when a color is near replacement. I only
wish the black ink container would be larger than the other colors, as the
black will be much more used. However, there is unused space next to the
black container, so perhaps they are planning to release a "high capacity"
black container.
I haven't calculated with the replacement of the print head (a separate
unit on the CSW). According to the manual, it may need to be replaced after
"thousands and thousands of pages" but I haven't been able to find the
price for it.

Another plus in the record is that the printer shuts itself off after some
minutes of inactivity, and better yet, it turns itself back on when it
hears something coming on the serial port. I like that!

In short: a heck of a printer.

---

Speed comparison between Color StyleWriter Pro (CSW) and StyleWriter II (SWII)

  Test conditions:
One full page of black Palatino 10p text (2700 characters) printed from
MacWrite Pro 1.0 on a Duo 230 full of extensions and Print Monitor 7.1.
The stopwatch was started when the Print Monitor window showed up in the
background, and stopped when it disappeared (the Print Monitor was set to
show its window when printing). Print Monitor remained in the background
during printing. The printer port was used for both printers. Standard
photo copier paper (ink-jet savvy) was used.
Note that there are no gray-scale or color images involved whatsoever. This
is a strictly a black text printing test.


  Results: (view chart with monospaced font!)

                    ***  Color StyleWriter Pro 1.5
                    ===  StyleWriter II 1.2
Best quality:
  ********************************************************** 155 s
  =================== 51 s

Normal quality:
  *************************************** 104 s
  ============== 37 s

Draft quality:
  ******************** 54 s
  ============= 34 s
                    (shorter is better)

The figures represent printing with grayscale/color for both printers. B/W
printing was only mariginally faster (1-2 seconds better on each test).


  Conclusion:
The Color StyleWriter Pro is up to three times slower on plain black text
printing than the StyleWriter II. Further, the ink on the SWII is much more
black. The CSW black is more like gray and somewhat grainy, probably a side
effect of the overlapping printing technique used to minimize the striping
we're used to when dealing with ink jet printers.
Interestingly, the SWII prints in "Best quality" faster than the CSW prints
in "Draft quality"!

The specifications for the printers claim equal printing speeds. This was
an important factor in my purchase decision, and now I'm very disappointed.
What happened here, Apple?

To balance this test, I want to say that I'm very pleased with the
grayscale and color printing capabilities of the CSW. But as an average
home user I want decent text performance as well, which I don't get with
the CSW. When can we expect a faster driver?

To sum up, the text printing performance on the CSW is poor, in terms of
both speed and quality.

I think I may have found a problem with PageMaker 5.0 and Common Ground
1.0.  It seems that if you have more than one PageMaker document open and
print to a Common Ground .dp file, _both_ documents that you have open will
end up in the Common Ground file, even if you only print one of them.

Also, PageMaker's Print... dialogs do not let you use some of Common
Ground's functions, like creating a self-viewing file.

Let me know if you have experienced this.

It doesn't make sense since the emulator identifies itself as 68020!
(that's not 'compatable')  The emulation doesn't provide FPU, or MMU
functions (a 68CL040 it ain't), it's merely the same instruction set
running at '040 speed (well they did build in one '040 instruction, but I'm
not sure what the implication of that one is).  Presumably SoftFPU works
with a 68020.

I am told that SPSS CV running with SoftFPU (on 68K series Macs) is
considerably slower than SPSS NCV (the No Coprocessor Version).  That
suggests there's a market out there for a native code 68K FPU emulator that
calls the floating point processor of the PowerPC directly.  Such a thing
sounds plausible to me; I wonder why Apple doesn't emulate FPU by using the
PowerPC floating point logic?

Subject: Graphic Simulations U Turn

Several weeks ago I had some not so nice things to say about
Graphic Simulations' copy protection scheme for Hellcats and F/A-18
Hornet.

Basically, my complaint was that it was taking a l-o-n-g time for
GSC to send back the unlock code.  That forced users to either
patch their software, or sit with the 256 page manual at their
side whenever they launched Hornet.   It took nearly ten weeks
for me to receive my unlock code--and some folks have waited longer!

This story has a happy ending.  Today, I received my unlock code
and the following message from Jon Blum of Graphic Simulations:

JB> We are sorry for the delay, but we have decided to make up for it
JB> by getting rid of copy protection for all of our future products.
JB> You might want to pass that along.

Removing copy protection from a game (okay--I mean simulation!) is
a really gutsy move.  GSC is to be admired and thanked for putting
their users first.  I sincerely hope that the user community will
honor this move and not take advantage of GSC's generosity.

Since GSC has done a 180 degree turn, I feel that I should also.
I said earlier that future purchases of GSC software with my personal
dollars were very much in doubt.  I am happy to say that this is
no longer the case.  I *will* be purchasing future software releases

Way to go, gentlemen!  :-)

Subject: How to get data out of a Rocket board onto the network, fast???

We have a Quadra 900 with a fairly expensive graphic system and a built
in Rocket board (33 MHz). The Quadra 900 has 20 MB RAM, the Rocket 16 MB.
Both Macs run System 7.1.

Recently we wanted to turn the Rocket into a network server that would
peacefully hum in the background while the host Quadra could still be
used as a workstation. We installed an external Harddisk directly to
the Rocket board via the SCSI-2 daughterboard. When the Rocket starts
up from the System on the external drive it and the host Quadra really
do not get in each others way very much,

except for I/O tasks!!!

Too late did we realize that in order to access the motherboards EtherNet
the Rocket had to go through the 68040 of the Quadra (possibly even
its RAM) and this did not exactly accelerate the performance as a server,

au contraire!!!

The overall performance of the Rocket server currently lies between
30 and 50 percent of the Quadra, even though the Quadras chip is slower
(25 vs 33 MHz).

Has anybody out there encountered similar problems? Are we the only
ones that came up with the idea of using a Rocket as a server? Any
suggestions, if one might install a NuBus-EtherNet card as they might
communicate faster via the NuBus? How about one of these new Mini
EtherNet-SCSI adapters? Might it be possible to install one of these
in the SCSI-chain of the Rocket?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, ;-)

This is not true, at least not from what I've found out using my Color
StyleWriter. When printing mixeed black/color text from MacWrite Pro, Color
StyleWriter defenitely uses only the black cartridge for black text. There
is no trace of color in the black text.

This is Apple's cheap solution to make the printer networkable. The CSW
itself doesn't support AppleTalk, but if you hook it up to a Mac's modem
port, the ColorShare software makes it possible for others to access the
printer over the network, via the Mac the printer is directly connected to.

In other words, CSW has to be connected to a powered-on Mac in order to be
reachable over the network.

My experience with my PowerBook 100 is that it MAY be OK to
connect/disconnect the SCSI
cable while the PowerBook is asleep. From what I have heard over the years,
the danger with
unplugging the SCIS "live" is that all pins in the connector may not
disengage at the same time,
possibley leading to "back currents" which may destroy senstive components
(although I have
sometimes unplugged SCSI "live" on desktop Macs by mistake without getting
burned - lucky me!)

Since (I assume) all power to the main circits are off when the PowerBook
is asleep, I can imagine
it is safe (electrically-wise) to unplug a SCSI device from a PowerBook in
sleep mode, providing
the SCSI device is also powered down. However, if the PowerBook assumes
that a SCSI device is
available while put to sleep, it will possibly hang up when awoken wihtout
the device connected.
At least, this is what happens if you disconnet a hard disk while asleep.
The solution to this, of
course, is to drag the hard disk to the trash to un-mount it, and re-mount
with SCSI Probe or
similiar solutions when re-connected. I have done this succesfully with my
own PowerBook a
number of times, but I would still hesitate to this on anyone else=B4s compu=
ter...

The story with the Ethernet adapter may be different, since it may not be
possible to "unmount"
this kind of device easily.

In short, disconnecting a SCSI device from a PowerBook in sleep mode does
not *always" fry the
machine, and may very well work without any problems. Depending on the
device and its driver
software, however, it may still be necessary to restart the Mac to make it
work as intended.

Of course, I do not assume any responsiblity for this advice. You have to
take full responsibility for
using this information...

Subject: info-mac inclusion

Photosizer, my Freeware DTP utility has reached version 1.2 recently. It
has a record of being compatible with any Mac model since its release in
'86. Fixes were only for performance & cosmetic. I recommend though for
everyone to update to the current version, as it is the most elegant in
terms keyboard equivalents. It can be driven entirely from the keyboard.
Following is a brief description what it does:

In DTP there is often a need to scale images, either from negs or
positives, if manual stripping-in is required. Photosizer replaces very
effectively the Proportion Wheel traditionally used. Apart from giving you
the new dimension & percentage of reduction, it allows to save the
information to a tab delimited text file including a brief description,
such as page number/image description. The list can be printed from your
word processor & supplied to the typesetter/printer, allowing them to
efficiently identify & strip in the images.

Typically Photosizer is used on-the-fly while you work on your layout.
Using Quikeys to activate/hide the small Photosizer window & using its
keyboard commands is very efficient indeed. I have been working with some
of my clients (as a Mac consultant) to polish Photosizer and although it
looks "bare bones", it represents the "minimal-effective" solution.

I welcome suggestions for future releases. Please forward via e-mail or fax.

Photosizer 1.2 can be found in the info-mac archives.

Depending on your router, you may be able to just let the Mac folks
dial in via ARA. Use the router to assign IP addresses to them, install
MacTCP on the Duos and it should work. ARA makes a remote Mac appear
as though it's on the same AppleTalk network as the host Mac, so if
you can add a Mac to the network like that, you should be able to
get the remote Macs connecting via ARA.

Oops. Rather than just copying individual new files from a folder

I had just made, having just blown away all the old documents
in the floppy's folder. So much for backup.
None of the documents on the floppy had been directly sent to "Trash."
My question... are the "old" files on the floppy now toast, or
might Norton or Public Utilities or the like be successful at
resurrecting them. Suggestions/recommendations welcome as I
currently do not have file recovery or disk maintenance software.
But I will, real soon now.

    I have a situation where a Lan has both Macs and a DOS

PC's, therefore it cannot backup those up, only the Macs.  Does
anyone have any ideas??
    One solution I came up with, although not very elegant,
I think will work.  Use Farallons Timbuktu Pro for Windows along
with Quickeys and something like desktape(allows tape drives to
act like disk drives, mountable).  And then have quickeys go out
and "mount" the PC drives and copy them to the desktape drive.
With this scenerio, the backup schedule would heva to be split
so that the Mac backups occur on a different night than the PC
backups, but that would be OK.
    I hope this made some sense, and I would appreciate any
help!!!

Subject: Nisus 3.4 problem - please help

First let me thank the kind souls out there for the advice I received
after my earlier enquiry about speech.

Now I've hit a problem that is driving me mad. I use Nisus 3.4
(Limited) a lot. Since I did a memory upgrade I find that it won't run
under 32-bit addressing. I start it up, see the Nisus logo panel, then
before the application proper begins to run I get a box on the screen
saying "The application (unknown) has unexpectedly quit because an
error of type 1 occured."

A type 1 error is a bus error (if I'm not mistaken) i.e. hardware.
Funny thing is that I can switch to 24-bit addressing and the thing
runs fine, only, of course, I can't address more than 8 meg of memory,
which is a waste of money. And I need that memory for other things,
and would very much like the ability to word process while these other
things are active (Photo-CD is one).

I have talked with the Nisus support people over here. They pointed
the finger a) at an INIT conflict and b) at the adaptor I have
installed carrying a co-processor (Apple's own Nubus adaptor for the
IIsi). So I booted with extensions off and 32-bit mode on. No
different. I spent ages messing around with Conflict Catcher, too,
which also showed no problems with the INITs. And I took the Nubus
adaptor out. Nisus still wouldn't run and some of my drawing software
fell over for lack of the co-processor (low end CAD package, so I
wasn't surprised).

Which leaves me wondering if I have a hardware problem lurking in the
bowels of my Mac, or I should get a different word processor package.
Having been a Nisus user since 1990 and with the only viable
competitor I know of coming from Hackrosoft I am VERY reluctant to do
the latter (no flames, please, I know I'm bigotted). So does anyone
out there have any clue as to what might be causing this, PLEASE??

Well now that I have recovered from listening to Apple's music on hold, I
have both Applescript and Powertalk running on my PowerPC-upgraded Quadra. It
turns out that Applescript 1.1 came with a recently delivered 7100/66 so I
installed it on my Quadra (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to install it on the
7100/66 at the same time). With some additional help from James of
1-800-SOS-APPL I had already installed PowerTalk as follows:
    Easy install a new System 7.1 onto a hard disk with no system.
    Easy install System 7.1.2 over it using the PowerMac upgrade card
    disks.
    Install PowerTalk by using custom install with the System 7 Pro install
disk and chosing ONLY "Install PowerTalk for any Macintosh".  I guessed that
the right answer to the "its already installed" dialogs was to chose newer
for everything except the finder.
    In the new PowerPC upgrade card Control Panel select PPC on.
    Shut down, wait 10 seconds, Start up with shift key held down.
    Using the PowerTalk Install-Me-First from ftp.apple.com chose easy
    install
to install PowerTalk for Power Macintosh. You will also need your System 7
Pro Tidbits, PowerTalk, and PowerTalk 2 disks. Note that for a 6100,7100, or
8100 this last step is all that's needed to install PowerTalk.

Subject: SPSS 6 vs PowerMac

I had an interesting message on my answering machine from SPSS Technical
Support. It confirms what has been reported earlier:

SPSS 4.x CV does NOT run on PowerMac (CV=FPU Coprocessor Version)
SPSS 4x NCV not only DOES run on PowerMac, it's faster than the CV version
on most 680x0 Macs

Does anyone know wheter SPSS 4x CV PLUS SoftFPU will work on a PowerMac
(the bug that prevents SoftFPU from working with the 68CL40 shouldn't be
applicable to the PowerPC--I assume Apple didn't bother emulating a bug :-)
??

SPSS 6 will NOT run on PowerMac.  One thing I'm REALLY curious about.  What
attributes must a program have that makes it incompatible (for sure) with a
PowerMac?  I can understand if SPSS isn't ready to compile in Native
PowerPC code, but what can they be doing to version 6 that makes it LESS
capable than version 4 NCV?

The other interesting contribution in the phone message is that SPSS
marketing and product development is aware of the problem.  Of course, that
doesn't mean that the suits will comprehend that it is imperative that the
product run on the PowerMac even if it takes a little longer to offer it in
native code.

The missing piece is what do they have in mind for upgrade pricing (from
version 4 to 6).  I'd be VERY reluctant to pay (very much) to upgrade twice
(from 4 to 6 on 68K architecture and again for PowerMac).  So, if they plan
to intice me into upgrading to 6, they'll need to include a coupon for 1)
free upgrade to a native code pruct, and 2) a firm release date for said
product (and even then, it'll still be vaporware).

Does anyone know whether Systat's latest runs ok on PowerMac and whether
they have a native code version in the works (were I Systat, I think I'd

I've duplicated this problem using InterSLIP with Northwest Nexus,

I just don't know enough about what's happening at a low level here.
I almost wonder if the box used to give you the PPP account (a Livingston

these programs work with PPP for my provider, but not for yours.

As unpleasant as it sounds, I'd suggest trying the commercial InterPPP

Hello netters

Quite some time ago I posted a request for Turkish Fonts along with a
promise to summarize the results - I did'nt get many replies, but some
arrived and were indeed of use.

Akif Eyler of Bilkent University <[e-mail]> sent:

> the Geneva (TrueType) for Turkish. For screen fonts,
>you should use the utility BitFont. A complete set of fonts can be found in
>>ftp.apple.com under international systems.

Prior to my Internet-request I tried ftp.apple.com/international systems
but I didn't seem to be able to find what I was looking for.

John M. Mansfield ([e-mail]) suggested that I tried ftp.apple.com
and also gave the e-mail address of Akif Eyler. John also suggested, that I
tried to use Postscript codes:

>I study ancient Greek inscriptions, and so I very often have to
>deal with modern Turkish place-names. My word-processor is MSWord 5.1a
>(U.S. version). In Word, you can use Postscript codes to create, view and
>print special characters

I looked in the Word manual to see what the folks at Microsoft said about
Postscript in this respect, but there were no direct description along the
lines John mentions. Ill probably have to read more Postscript-specific
information when I get the time - any info/hints from Netland will also be
appreciated.

Thanks once again to all of you, who replied. Ill compile a folder
containing all of the fonts I got and upload them to the archives. They'll
go in a folder called Turkish Fonts and will all be found in the Fonts
directory.

What's the deal with File Sharing? Why does it take so long to start up? Is
there any way to speed up the process?

Subject: What mail programs handle internet mailing lists?

Has anyone had experience managing internet mailing lists from a Mac?
Which of the common mail programs support distribution to a manually-
created list?  Which of them can send out a file in response to an
incoming mail message to a specific address?  And can any of them
carry out listserv or archive server functions?

Replies will be summarized, of course.

A couple weeks ago, I sent the following message to info-mac:

The following are the two kind replies I received about the disk cache
setting:

- - - - - - -
...it all depends on how you use your machine.  The best way to find out
for yourself is to get Speedometer from Info-mac and try out your machine
at a variety of settings.

- - - - - - -
     ... I think the most accurate answer to your question is that it
     depends on your system. I've searched references trying to answer the
     same question and no specifics have been offered. I use at least 254kb
     as a cache and have used as much as 500kb or so. I'm pretting
     confident that using more doesn't really help. Keep in mind that the
     higher the setting, the more RAM your system file will consume.

Thanks to Rob Shaw and David Lohrentz who provided the above
information.  Guess there is no surefire way to determine the disk cache
setting.
