contact them about it but so far have received no reply. If you receive extra

Subject: [*] * Essence of Ives (sound)

This is a sound file featuring a snippet of music by my favorite
composer, Charles Ives (1874-1974). Specifically, it's the last three
measures of his second symphony. To me, they sum him up quite nicely. I
hope you enjoy it.

This file is in compacted Audio Image File Format (AIFF) (requires Sample
Editor 1.0.2 (one kick-butt AIFF editor!), Wavicle 1.0, or a similar sound
editor); which has been binhexed with Compact Pro (requires mcvert on the
UNIX side, or a BinHex 4-compatible program on the Mac side).  The AIFF format
allows inclusion of copyright information and is multi-platform compatible.
Sample Editor (and maybe some of the commercial sound utilities) can convert
"AIFF"s to "sfil"s so you can use them as system sounds or with Sound Mover.

Subject: [*] 3D-Rubik's pyro's module

This program is a PYRO module , which displays a RUBIK's CUBE and solves
it.

Convert the above file with Stuffit using Decode BINHEX file to obtain the
executable code.
It has not been compressed.

Like all PYRO modules, it must be put in the System folder, in order to
work.
Then call PYRO, and click to select the module called Rubik68000.

The program was compiled in 68000 code without coprocessor and tested
on Mac + , Classic , SE/30 , II/si , II/cx , II color (but the animation is
still b&w).

If you have problems with this program, please send E-mail to

Subject: [*] 4d-access-resources-11.hqx

Here's the second, most recent and (hopefully) final version of my
externals to 4D which allow you to read and write from/to any resource
>From within 4D. We use this to create/access preferences files.

This version fixes a "bug" in the previous version whereby writing a
resource to a non-existent file (or an existent file with no resource
fork) returned an error. Now, I create the file you specify if it doesn't
exist or give a resource fork to an existent file without one prior to
writing the resource.

Subject: [*] Alias Director 2.7

Alias Director by Laurence Harris ($7 shareware) is the best of the various
alias management tools I've seen. Some special features include the ability
to make aliases without icons (so that many can be put on the desktop),
drag and drop capability, pull down location menus that remember the recent
places you put your aliases (Apple menu, desktop, etc.), the TrashEmAll
feature which moves all aliases and files for a given alias/file (on all
mounted disks) to the Trash when the alias/file is dragged over the AD icon
with the command key held down. Version 2.7 of Alias Director corrects the
following bugs:

Sets the locations of files moved to the trash by TrashEmAll so they would
appear together in a neat column instead of all over the place in the
trash. Also insures you can "Put Away" an original in the trash, even if it
was in the trash when you used TrashEmAll.

Implements AD's drag and drop TrashEmAll, move-to-desktop, and add-to-menu
features without requiring the user to remember their key down
requirements.

A few people noticed that some aliases created on the desktop wouldn't
support drag & drop. This has now been fixed. As a part of that fix, the
desktop is now a permanent choice on the menu.  Also, a bug that could
result in a freeze when creating a blank icon has been fixed.

The New Location  file directory box has been modified to be a little
friendlier. And it won't jump any more.

Subject: [*] AutoDoubler1.0.7PatchKit.sea

Here's the new AutoDoubler patch kit, bringing all versions of AutoDoubler
to version 1.0.7. (I got it from the Salient board on AOL.) Salient says:

>This self-expanding file contains the AutoDoubler 1.0.7 patcher. It patches any previous version to version 1.0.7. It is a single patch for all versions, so the same patch kit is used no matter which version you have.
>
>New read me files and other information is included with this patch. Please read the read me files, especially users of Dove Marathon accelerator boards.
>
>We recommend that all AutoDoubler users use AutoDoubler version 1.0.7.
>
>Included in version 1.0.7 is a fix that would cause a crash if you opened the PC Exchange control panel. Also included is a fix that would cause AutoDoubler to complain it was unable to verify a file while compressing in the background.

There's some documentation included which supplements the manual; don't
overlook it!

Subject: [*] CCI-Courses.hqx: Kodak's Summer Workshop Course Listing.

The enclosed file is a (huge!) course listing for summer workshops at Kodak's
Center for Creative Imaging in Camden, Maine, USA.  Eastman Kodak was
recently announced to be the #1 US Corporate Mac User in a poll by MacWeek,
and the orientation of the coursework described in this list strongly
reflects this fact.  Almost all the courses involve intensive use of very high
powered Macs in digital art/photography/typography.  Some of the courses
are being taught by highly recognized artists.

I think this might be worth archiving as a report, or maybe under /misc.
The course listing was downloaded from America Online, and is just TEXT,
but it's about 115Kb, so I made a Compact Pro archive out of it and then
binhexed it for an end result of 58K.

Subject: [*] Communion samples (part 1 of 3)

"Communion" may have been the worst film I've ever seen, yes, even worse
than "Plan Nine from Outer Space," "The Blob," and "Robot Monsters."
Really.  It was just unbelievable.

But I rented it _twice_, so I could capture these samples from it.  They're
all taken from a group psychology session of people who think they've
been visited by these alien beings.  Two are from the same guy, who's an
atrociously bad actor;  he's talking about how the media ignores and
laughs off stories of UFOs.  The samples are "It may sound like a
cliche, but [awkward pause while he swallows] these visitors do come in
gigantic ships," and "But, um, [awkward pause while he swallows] the
joke's on us."  The third's from a ditzy woman who's been, like
everyone else, examined by the aliens:  "I didn't ask for a rectal probe,
Laurie!  It's not funny!"

In these nine seconds, you get the best parts of the film.  Save
yourself a dollar--don't rent it, just download the samples.

Subject: [*] Disk/Desk Icon Replacements

Enclosed with this message is an archive called robincon in
"sit" format. The archive contains two instruction files, a
folder with a modified icon and a ResEdit resource file.

Rob's Icons are icons that can be used to replace icons in
system 7. On every disk that contains it's own icon, there
is an invisible file system 7 uses called "icon". I've
provided instructions to do it yourself with resedit and
the instructions are in word 4 and text formats. A resource
file containing a set of icons is included. This will make
up volume 1. I thought it would make your desktop or disks
more interesting like the way some shareware did, but at a
freebie price.

Subject: [*] FileTyper 3.2

The author of FileTyper 3.2 (shareware $10), Daniel Azuma, says in part:

FileTyper is a small application that allows you to edit file types,
creators, and Finder flags without having to open a large program such as
DiskTop or ResEdit.  Just put FileTyper in a handy place  (I ususally keep
it on the Desktop just above the Trash).  Drag files and folders onto it,
edit them, and click "Change."  FileTyper 3.2 offers many features not
found in other commercial or public domain programs.

Also included with FileTyper is a utility with which you can create and
edit custom "AutoTypers," which are very small applications that
automatically make a specific change to files dropped on them.  For
instance, you can create an AutoTyper which changes the creator of TEXT
files to the creator of your favorite "GIF" program.

Version 3.2 is a bug fix upgrade from version 3.1.  Here is a list of
changes:

     Fixed a really stupid bug introduced in version 3.1 that caused an error
-35 when using "Change All" with folders.
     I think I've been able to fix the nasty problem that often caused drag
and drop to fail on newly created AutoTypers, usually making it necessary
to rebuild the desktop.
     Took out the MacWrite II docs because the FileTyper package was starting
to become large.  MacWrite II users can still view the Microsoft Word docs
via the Microsoft Word 4.0 translator.

Subject: [*] FTP Server

The demo of Advanced Software Concepts FTP Server available in the
archives expired at the end of May.  They've just sent me a new demo of a
much rewritten FTP Server.  Its better than ever.  I particularly like
its support for aliases and the 'owners' ability to launch apps and even
reboot the Mac remotely.  For many Mac users with direct Internet
connections this is a must have.


About FTP Share
 --------------

FTP Share is a set of communications applications which allows a
Macintosh computer to be used as a FTP file server. It can be
connected to by any computer with an FTP client application over
a TCP/IP network.

It provides a user access scheme similar to that of Apple's File
Sharing in System 7.0 and it allows :
    - Files to be transfered between a Macintosh and FTP Clients,
    - Up to 20 clients to connect at the same time,
    - An access profile to be given to each user,
    - Guest users to connect to the file server,
    - Support of Aliases and many other featuresI

As the File Sharing, FTP Share comprises four components :
    - FTP Share Setup : an application to start, stop and
      configure the server,
    - FTP Share Monitor : an application to monitor the server's
      activity,
    - FTP Share Users : an application to define the users
      profiles,
    - FTP Share Extension : an INIT to install in the System
      Folder.

FTP Share works in the background of the Macintosh leaving it
free to be used as usual. It also provides a monitor which allows
you to see who is connected to the file server and which folders
are being accessed.

Although FTP Share supports some special System 7.0 features such
as Aliases and Balloon Help, it can also be used on System 6.0.4
machines.


About this Demo Version
 ---------------------

This FTP Share package contains a Demo Version which is fully
functionnal, except that the server stops running after 8
minutes. Then, you have to restart your machine to activate it
again. If this limitation prevents you from performing extended
tests, please contact ASC : they can send you a Demo Version valid
for a period from 15 to 30 days.


Installation
 ----------

For further informations, double-click the "Read Me First !" file
included in the FTP Share package.

Subject: [*] Graf 1.4.2

This file contains the latest release of Graf v1.4.2, a Scientific
X-Y plotting application.

This version has Publish and Subscribe when run under system 7.
A non-standard, automatic pulshing feature allows Graf to
add interactive plotting facilities to any app that can publish and
Subscribe.

Many of the user interface elements have been changed on the basis
of user's comments and some of the new features are the direct
result of user email conversations. This version fixes many 'features'
in the  Graf 1.3.1 release and some long standing omissions,
like coloured symbols have at last been implemented.  The interface
makes better use of a colour display if present.

Graf will work under system 6.0.2 or newer on a 1MB MacPlus or
better.  It has even been tested on a Quadra 950 with A/UX 3.0
(sigh) for ~ 5 minutes until it was taken away from me!.

This software is Freeware.

Enjoy!

Subject: [*] home-brewers.hqx

The following file contains a record keeping system for home brewers.
It was designed primarily for Wine Makers, but works equally as well for
Brewers of Beer.  The system is comprised of a HyperCard stack that
maintains information on the brewing cycle and includes a Brewer's
Calculator for determining mixtures for certain specific gravities and
other such calculations.  It also includes a support stack with some
label art for bottles, a label layout format for SuperPaint and the
ubiquitous README file.

The entire package is contained in a CompactPro Self Extracting Archive
which is encoded in BinHex 4.0 format.  After decoding from BinHex,
double click on the .sea file which will then execute to extract the
four files it contains.

The stack was designed in HyperCard 1.2 for use by the largest audience,
and converts well to HyperCard 2.1.  Follow the instructions in the
README file.

This is a shareware product with a $25.00 license fee.

Sound Reverser 1.0

* Freeware *

Here is the Sound Reverser program, a "useless-ware" System 7
Drag-and-Drop application which takes a sound file containing a
digitized sound and produces a new file with the sound reversed.  It

Subject: [*] SpaceTag.hqx

This is a mac version of the classic arcade game spacewar.  Possibly the only
game that came before this is pong.  Lately people on comp.system.mac.games
have been asking for a game like this, so here it is.  The date on it is 1988,
but it seems to be fully system 7 compatable.  If your not familiar with
spacewar, in this game you control a small ship in a manner similar to
Asteroids.  You score points by shooting another ship, and loose points
whenever you are hit.  There are options for gravity, friction, wrap around
wall, wheather shots are effected by gravity, and wheather there is a
hyperspace in the middle of the screen.  Unfourtunately, there is no 2 player
mode.  It does not explicitly state that it is shareware, but I assume it
it.  If it is discovered that this is not shareware, remove it from your
archives.  b&w.

Subject: [*] Submission - Key Tools

Key Tools - Version 1.0

Key Tools is a collection of useful functions that may be
performed by typing a special key sequence. By typing a
command key in any application, or the Finder, you may
execute any of the following:

Button Keys - You may click a button in a dialog box by
holding down the command key and typing the first letter
of the button's name. This has the same effect as if you
had clicked on the button with the mouse. You can toggle
a radio button or checkbox by holding down the command
and shift keys and typing the first letter of its name.

Type Date - Types the current date, as if you had typed
it on the keyboard. You may specify a long or short
format for the date.

Type Time - Types the current time, as if you had typed
it on the keyboard. You may specify whether to type the
seconds as well.

Echo - Retypes everything you typed since the last time you

You may select any key to control any function and you may
require that the option, command, or shift keys be pressed
to call a function. For example, you may decide that the
time function will be run when you type the letter while
holding down the option and command keys. Now, the time
function will run any time you type these keys. In the

Subject: [*] theTypeBook v2.37

This is a .sea copy of theTypeBook v2.37, freeware downloaded by a friend from
CompuServe.  It fixes a bug in 2.31 (now posted on  SUMEX) which prints a row of
random characters in some instances.  Regarding this bug, Jim Lewis, author of
theTypeBook, wrote to me recently when I described the problem to him:

The problem you described was just discovered this week. The eleven 2's you are
seeing have been placed into the Page Comments text by a bug in the "Color
Sample Specs" section of the program. That is, when Page Comments are empty and
you select Color Sample Specs random text is added to the Comments. Of course
this is not supposed to happen and has been corrected in version 2.37.
Thanks for the bug report!  Jim

theTypeBook is a Mac utility which aids in the creation and maintenence of a
typeface reference book. This type of reference is extremely popular in the
Graphics and Typesetting industries. It helps people (both clients and
employees) select typefaces by demonstrating the various artistic attributes of
each face on a printed page. theTypeBook is compatible with virtually all
printers. All current Postscript and Truetype fonts are supported.  In the past,
users of Mac DTP have had to generate typebooks themselves via the layout of
each individual page in their favorite DTP application. Even when using a
template strategy it is still necessary to select the Font and the FontStyle for
each page, then edit the text so overflows and holes are controlled within
reason. All this adds up to a significant amount of non-billable hours required
to produce a typeface reference book.  theTypeBook eliminates the need for
operator involvement in creating each page.  Selection of the desired typefaces
and issue of the Print command is all that is required. In fact there are no
other direct functions available.

I'm surprised that you don't have the AppleTalk driver already. I

Subject: Finder bugs?? (Q)

Two interesting notes about Finder behavior.
Any one else seen these phenomena?

1  The hardware setup is PB170, Sys 7.0.1(Tup 1.1.1), and a Syquest44M
   removable (with terminators as proscribed by Apple).  I dismount the
   Syquest from the desktop (via the trash), remove the HD platter and
   turn the power to the drive off.  The Finder's menu freezes (the SCSI
   cables are still attached).  I  turn the power to the drive back on,
   and the menus come back to life.
   Is this normal?  Something special about the PB170 SCSI connection?
   Something the matter in which the SCSI is being mounted?
   BTW, the removable (formatted by Apple utilities) does not need
   any manufacture-supplied extensions to mount at bootup.

2  Occasionally, when I try to copy a folder (floppy <-> HD),
   the finder alert - "The command could not be completed, because it
   cannot be copied into itself." with an Ok button comes up. The folder
   is the culprit 'cos when I copy the enclosed files without the folder
   every thing is fine; when I try to copy the folder without the files,
   the same alert box shows up.  I don't think I am trying to copy any
   thing "into itself".
   Seen it happen with Sys 7.0.1 (Tup 1.1.1) on a IIcx and
   a PB170 (no unusual extensions, only Extension Manager 1.6, InUse 2.0
   Disinfectant 2.7.1, SuperClock 3.9.1, Apollo 0.8b3 and a few Apple
   System extensions).

Any ideas, Mac gurus?

Subject: Floppy drive security...

I am looking for a product (shareware or commercial) that does the following
things (ideally):

        1)  Secures the floppy drive by prompting for a password when ANY
        disk is inserted.  I am having trouble with students illegally
        copying software.  No amount of talk on principles & ethics seems
        to work, so I have to "lock it up".  Too bad.

        2)  Is easily disabled by the password owner.  A control panel such
        as MACPASSWORD (which I use & recommend) would probably be best.

        3)  Protection of the floppy drive is all I want.  I don't want to
        spend $100+ for a ton of features - I just want one feature.

        4)  I don't want a hardware solution.  The locking covers for the
        drive would work, but I would lose the key within a week.

I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks in advance!

Subject: Here's how to search files,file info,and both digest subject and content worldwide

   Sorry for the last specialized subject title. I took some time and thought
up a better one for the digest. I was tired when I wrote the original.

   To look for a file in the whole world, ask archie:
        Telnet archie.sura.net
        and log on as
        archie
   I found out about this by reading digests saying "ask archie". I thought tha
t was a euphimism for readers of the digest. Not so! What I did was to ftp to
 sumex and check out the cumulative abstract (listing all the subjects of the
digests only). Then I got the digests that had that subject.
   You can also mail your command to archie, here is an example:
   mail [e-mail] (ack)
   prog Print2Pict
   It is less frustrating. If you ftp to archie you can get a unix program
that your host can run to interact with archie in a way "he" prefers.
Telnet logon stuff will tell you about that.
   dxf format might be trickier. First off try the abstract to see if you can
catch leads. Next try telnet info.cern.ch to access supercollider project
world wide web. Thru them access WAIS, wide area info service.
This explodes electronic digests so you can get at the contents as well as
the subjects. I haven't used it. Contact [e-mail]
he told me alot about it. It sounds tremendous way to get privy to all
the worlds conversations. Hope this helps. Paul M. Sheldon

I can't say whether a PB 100 will run anything older, but it WILL run
6.0.8 (or 6.0.7 which really is the same thing).  You might not find
System 7 so bad on a PB 100.  Even though it's also a 68000 CPU it

Whatever works (the engineer's solution ;-) grab the original File

Well Fergus, it is always good to be critical. The fix for the multiple
reference in Word 5 does not work under system 6.

It should work under system 7 (another reason to switch, but defintely
not until I completely finished and printed my thesis!!!).

Under System 6 you can copy the footnote number, but is is not updated.

Another drawback is the fact that the copied footnote number (after the
'paste special/picture' does have a different format (much more space
between the number and the next character. But perhaps this can be fixed
somehow...

Nevertheless, I am not satiesfied with this solution. In addition to
citations I also have footnotes in my texts. So I can not use footnotes
for references. (Almost) too bad...

I really miss the ability of word to number and label tables, figures and
biblios automaticly. With the help of the heading styles Word can make
a list of tables and a list of figures. Why isn't it able to number them?
It can also number pages, is it so much more difficult to count tables
than it is to count pages??

Perhaps I really ask too much, perhaps there are not so many Word users
who ask for this. On the other hand, when poeple ask me if Word is a
good tool for writing scientific papers or a thesis, I tell them about
these drawbacks. What do guess how many new customers Microsoft gains
due to that discussions????

PLEASE, Microsoft, give me a PIM for labelling/referencing whatever I
want...

says everydisk I put in it is "Not a Mac disk - Initialize?", including
the System 7 installer disk. (No - I didn't say "Yes") I spoke to

I have Super Laser Spool 3.0 installed on an unaccelerated Mac Plus with 4 Megs
RAM running System 7.0 and the latest  System updater. It takes about 15
minutes to print a page of text in Best from Word 5.0 to an Imagewriter II if
Word is left in memory. Little change occurs if I continue to edit or not. If I
quit from Word, the print time will drop to just under 5 minutes a page. I had
thought that the spooler operated by processing and sending the file to be
printed to my hard drive from where it was sent to the printer. I can
understand the slowdown it I continue to edit since the CPU must divide its
time between the two jobs, but if I'm not editing, why the long print times?
Also why does the job get done in small sections of several lines with pauses
in between if the print job has already "left" Word and gone to the spool file?
These pauses seem longer then one would expect from emptying and refilling the
printerUs RAM.

Also can someone tell me how to reach Fifth Generation via the Net?

System 7. It is a system extension, but it is not an "INIT." Rather, it
is a background-only application that launches when you start or
restart your Macintosh computer. Since it is a background-only
application, it need not include any provision for interaction with
you, the user, so it can be a very small file; because it is a true
application and not an "INIT," it is very unlikely that it will
conflict with other system extensions.

What it does
The purpose of AlphaSound is one that has traditionally been done by
"INITs"---it plays a sound when you start up your Mac. AlphaSound
requires the new Sound Manager and the new FileManager in System 7.
Since it is not an application in the traditional sense, you will find
it hard to launch under previous systems, yet, even if you do manage to
do so, AlphaSound will politely check its operating environment and
silently quit. AlphaSound plays the sound asynchronously-that is, the
sound plays while your Macintosh computer continues to do other tasks.

(1.0.1) version, and fixes a bug.
