Subject: [!] Double Binhexed files
Howdy,
Recently, a number of files submitted to Info-Mac have been Binhex4 encoded
more than once. In most cases, the author or originator encoded the binary,
and then their mail client or gateway encoded it again. The most common
culprits are Eudora and Pine. These two clients automatically encode attach-
ments unless supressed.
Double encoded files waste our disk space, as in the example of the following
file before:
-rw-r--r-- 1 macmod 524354 May 25 10:09 app/commodore-64-emulator.hqx
^^^^^^
and after:
-rw-r--r-- 1 macmod 360791 Jun 6 16:04 app/commodore-64-emulator.hqx
^^^^^^
Double encoding also confuses some extractor programs and users of our
archives. It also unnessarily lengthens download time (especially for those
who pay per kilobyte or per hour).
Sometimes, we catch double-encoding, and at times we do not. If you download
a file that is binhexed twice, please let us know at
info-mac-request@camis.stanford.edu. If you are submitting a file, please
take care not to encode it twice.
While I am at it, our preferred format is Binhex4. Lately, we've been
receiving files in UUCode, base64, and a variety of other formats. While
we can deal with most of these, the extra steps take up time and often
require transfers between distant machines. Submitting binhexed binaries
will greatly conserve our human, network, and CPU resources.
The following three files were recently fixed:

Subject: [*] Mac-2-MIDI-interface; a schematic
This is a binhexed version of the schematic I have created for a Macintosh to
MIDI interface that derives it's power solely from the serial port (No external
power is necessary). It is configured for 1 MIDI In, 1 MIDI Out, and 2
switchable MIDI OUT/THRU's. You can configure the outputs as Outs, Thrus, or
switchable Out/Thru. There in 1 gate not being used which can be used
to add an additional output if desired.
The only problem with powering it from the serial port is when you just want to
use the MIDI Thru without necessarily using the Mac sequencing S/W. The TXD
lines on the Mac are only powered when a program has opened the serial driver.
So even if you have the Mac turned on you will have to load either your
sequencing software or a terminal program. The only part of the interface that
is of any use without sequencing software is the MIDI thru, so most of the time
you want to use the interface, you`ll have sequencing software loaded anyway.

MacCubeView 1.5.0
Daniel W. Rickey
#22-550 Platts Lane

CANADA N6G 3A8
drickey@irus.rri.uwo.ca
Description
MacCubeView is designed to display a texture map image of three-dimensional
(3-D) data.
In this release, three simple ray-tracing techniques have been added. The data
in mind is
typically generated by medical imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, and nuclear
medicine.
Some geophysics techniques also produce suitable 3-D image data.
Hardware Requirements
MacCubeView will probably run on any Colour Macintosh Computer that is running
System
7 or newer. The software will be at its best when used with a large eight-bit
colour monitor.
The Macintosh should have at least eight megabytes of memory installed. It will
not run on a
Mac Plus, SE, Classic, etc. Two versions of the programme are supplied - one
for
machines
with a FPU, the other is for machines without a FPU, such the LC475 and Quadra
605.

unzips .zip archives in search of the same), a THINK C port of glib
(from the xgrasp 1.7 distribution), GL documentation, and sample
images. MacAnim Viewer was built presupposing a 68020 and 32-bit
QuickDraw and works best with an 8-bit color monitor. This version
runs faster than its predecessor, and fixes problems with unzipping
and displaying FLC files. It also permits animations and still images
to be scaled to fit within a specified screen size.

Subject: [*] PwrSwitcher 1.1.3; cycles through running applications
PwrSwitcher is a System 7 control panel that lets you cycle through
running applications using your keyboard. This package includes
PwrSwitcher 1.1.3 with documentation and PwrSwitcher FAQ 1.5.
PwrSwitcher 1.1.3 is a bug fix release. Keyboard activity after
PwrSwitcher loaded but before the Finder started would crash
earlier versions of PwrSwitcher.
Q: What is the most recent release of PwrSwitcher?
A: The final release is 1.1.3 - there will be no more.
Q: The power key on my Mac doesn't trigger PwrSwitcher. Why?
A: Many new Macs handle the power key using special hardware, rather
than treating it as just another key on the keyboard as with the
original ADB keyboards. The Duos and all of the newer Macs that
allow you to shut down using the power key can't use the power key
to trigger PwrSwitcher.
Freeware.

SWIIPrintUseMon version 1.3
This application keeps track of the number of pages printed on your

SWIIPrintUseMon examines the Log file, which is updated
by the SWII driver. This utility will therefore also work
with SW1 printers provided that you have the SWII driver
installed.
You can specify the maximum number of pages to be printed
before SWIIPrintUseMon outputs a warning. Version 1.3 can
also tell you the number of pages printed so far and the
average print rate.
Version 1.3 will work with English, French and German log
files, and also outputs it's messages in the same language
as the Log file. Version 1.3 is identical to version 1.2 but
has a nice new Icon and version info.

installing it, the TrueType Monaco font I use in Alpha sometimes gets
munged (selecting a different point size of the same font will be fine, but
returning to 11pt restores the mangled display). Also, the font used for
icons in the Finder (the system default of Geneva) sometimes gets
clobbered. Plus, the DVI previewer, MacDVI in DirectTeX sometimes crashes
when displaying a font created by ATM (like Times, at a peculiar point
size).
When are Adobe going to fix these problems, and give us some stable
software? I much prefer the ATM renderings of Times at small point sizes to
the TrueType equivalent.
This is running on a Centris 650 8/500, System 7.1, System Update 3.0.

Subject: Aldus Support (Followup)
This is a follow-up to my post last week about Aldus' upgrade fees
(incorrect sales tax, taxing shipping, etc.) and poor order tracking,
leading to them sendin me an upgrade order I had cancelled.
After that post I went through five days of pure *!&$@ (insert appropriate
vulgar term of preference). I was passed from person to person, most all of
which were either unhelpful (only about two ever asked my name, serial
number, etc. for looking up my records) or downright rude (the supervisor
of Aldus' Denver Customer Support office hung up on me--twice). I was
completely frustrated but remained as polite as I could. My credit card
company did not help much either, just making a conference call to the same
number I had been calling and being satisfied when I was told that someone
would call me back (never did).
I was about to give up and do things their way--send the package back UPS
Ground (they did finally issue a pickup order) with it taking a week or two
to get back to Denver followed by 3-4 weeks for my card to be
credited--when I received a call from the main office in Seattle.
Apparently my posts on AOL had sent the Seattle staff swarming to pick up
the banner dropped and trampled by the Denver group. I was told that the
incident was not being viewed lightly in Seattle and that a meeting had
been held with those involved (their database tracks who accesses each
record, whether it is a change or just a lookup) and that things should
improve (or jobs will be involved).
While I wish the incident had not happened, I am glad to see that Aldus has
not been affected by its close proximity to a certain other Seattle-based
software giant. It remains to be seen how well they correct the problems at
the Denver office, but at least they are working on it.

Subject: EUDORA Zone Woes.....
Dear MAC-Info,
Considering the ready help I got with my last query, I would like to
throw out another. I apologise before hand for the long-winded
explanantion. Here goes:
We are working on a 16 machine LocalTalk LAN that has two zones, a
LocalTalk zone and 'Phase 2 Zone'. We use the mail package EUDORA
to send & receive mail from the MAC's - the LocalTalk LAN is
connected to the campus backbone via a GatorBox. We use MacTCP
to set up the machines with IP numbers etc. etc. - you probably know
the setup routine better than I. New mail comes into an HP mainframe
account, which EUDORA then searches for new mail.
Now, as new MAC machines come into the department, the older
machines get shuffled about ('senior' people get the new ones!) and
change their places in the Mac LAN. So far, this hasn't been a
problem. Recently, a LCII was shuffled into one of the labs closeby. I
installed EUDORA, set it up for the person with the routing info
through MacTCP to get to his HP account. Upon accessing EUDORA,
it would start up OK, then stop (with the characteristic pendulum)
giving the error:
"Error involving Domain Name System.
None of the known name servers are responding."
After many hair pulling sessions, I have tracked the problem down to
the fact that the LCII now resides in the Phase 2 Zone and not in the
LocalTalk Zone it came from (this persons mail account works fine
when accessed from any other machine that lives in the LocalTalk
zone). No sweat, I thought. Just setup the machine for the other zone.
However, MacTCP does not offer me the choice of setting up the
machine for the other zone.
In a very fleeting discussion with the previous Mac LAN supervisor, he
explained that the LAN had these two zones because the Apple
LaserWriter could not be the last machine in the LAN.
So, what can I do to bring EUDORA back to life on this guys machine,
w/o having to redesign / rewire the network so that the printer lies
after the LCII, thereby restoring the LCII back into the LocalTalk zone.
Again, sorry to bother you people with this rather long winded
explanantion, but I have been $@#&$%%^$%& around with this for quite
a while now!!!
Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions offered!!!

Subject: IIvx CD-ROM mystery [Q]
[Note: this was lost in the mail problem of 6/1 and is being resent.]
I have a friend, a well-known music critic, whose IIvx CD-ROM drive has
begun refusing to recognize Macintosh CD-ROMs. It recognizes audio CDs
just fine, but whenever a CD-ROM goes into the drive, it is rejected with
a "This is not a Macintosh disk" alert.
We have done a clean system install several times (7.1, with and without
the latest hardware system update) and installed fresh copies of the Apple
CD-ROM software each time with no success. We have hooked an external
CD-ROM drive to the machine and have been able to mount Macintosh CD-ROMs
in the external drive. This suggests to me that the CD-ROM software is not
at fault. But if THAT is the case, then the problem must be hardware
related; however the selective nature of the failure is very peculiar...
Is it possible that a hardware problem can cause a CD-ROM drive to only
recognize audio CDs? It seems unlikely to me, but I can come up with no
better explanation of the machine's behavior. If anyone has experienced
this phenomenon, or can suggest an explanation for it, my friend and I
would appreciate your comments. Many thanks.

We are in the process of aquiring a PowerMAC 6100 with an external

My supervisor mentioned that we should look into getting some sort of
"network supervisors software", that is capable to doing the backups
at predetermined times, and also be capable of doing 'fault-checking'
along the LocalTalk network.
He mentioned that there had been a review of this type of software in
either MacWorld and MacUser. Could you possibly direct me to what

article itself?

Subject: Q: selecting SW&HW for LAN with PowerMacs
Hi,
I'd like to get some advise / tips on the following subject(s).
In the next weeks, some PowerMacs 7100/66av systems will be installed
in at several sites in my company. Some sites will have two or three
while others will get as much as 13-18 of them.
Apart from the daily business of their users, these Macs will be used
in some experiments in CSCW and networking.
Some questions I have are:
- Do you know of any groupware packages to e.g. work together on a document,
generate ideas together, etc. How do you like them?
- Are there cheap camera's available that I could connect to
some of these Macs? I'd prefer a camera that fits on top of
an AudioVision 14 display.
- Do you know of an Video conferencing tools? Can it be used over EtherNet?
How many people could use this type of application simultaneously before
the EtherNet becomes too crowded.
- How can I connect printers to each EtherTalk LAN? What would a
EtherTalk-to-LocaltalkPrinter or EtherTalk-to-HP-Printer cost?
Isn't there a piece of software that lets someone publish the
printer connected to its LocalTalk port to the EtherNet?
- Each site will have itUs own LAN. These LANs will in the future
be connected with ISDN. Could you advise on hardware and software
for this layout? Should/could each LAN be a zone in the AppleTalk
network?
I realize this is quite a list of questions, but I suspect I'll run into
these questions soon, and any suggestion would be of help.
Thanks for your time.
Stan.

conjunction a SMTP gateway. I would prefer to use a mail program like
Eudora, and skip the whole QM thing, and the complexity and necessity of
a QM server/gateway host, but since we don't support POP here, only SMTP,
I need a mail program that supports SMTP coming in as well as going out.
Any suggestions? Freeware preferred, but Commerical will do (It's not my

Jack,
You can find the latest version of AppleTalk from Apple's "Network
Installer" series. The latest version of the "Network Instatller" is
v1.4.4. It is available at ftp.apple.com.
I hope this helps!

When a user send a message in Eudora to another user who does not
have Eudora, sometimes '=' '20' and '09' appear in the message.
I have tried different versions of Eudora ie 1.4, 1.4.1 & 1.4.2
Also tried dumping the settings files
It only happens on certain macintoshes
I have notice mail from other sites have the same problem
The POP3 program on UNIX host is UCB popper ver 1.831b
has anybody got any answers to this problem ?
I suspect I am not the only with it
Thanks Roy
