- They are not edited; all articles included in this digest are in their original
- posted form. The only articles that are -not- included in these digests are
- those which didn't receive any replies (except those that give information
- rather than ask a question). All replies to each article are concatenated
- onto the original article in the order in which they were received. Article
- threads are not added to the digests until the last article added to the

- Here's the Think C code I came up with to read/write my prefs; it appears
- to work fine under 6 ot 7. Thanks to all who gave helped out! This
- code could have more error checking, andprobably should if it were going
- to be a commercial app, but in my case it's just a little point conversion
- utility to save me some time whenformatting/outputting to an imagesetter
- (yes, I'm a graphic artist, not a programmer... at least this is the
- case today... this programming stuff isa blast!). Please post if you
- have any comments/suggestions, or see any obvious bugs.
-
- Also, thanks to Jamie McCarthy who sent me his TLC prefs class that I'll
- definitely use next time... live and learn! :)

- I only know of the following commercial products:
- 1. Language Systems Fortran 3.0, runs in the MPW Shell. I use this compiler.
- 2. Absoft MacFortran II, runs in the MPW Shell too.
- I don't know if the standalone Absoft MacFortran/020 is still supported.
- 3. MacTran, standalone compiler/editor/...

- Here is the report I sent to my boss that was kind enough to let me go
- to the WWDC despite our group's financial situation, so its kind of watered
- down and not to technical. Unfortunatly I lost my notes so this was all from

- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Trip report of the World Wide Developers Conference
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
-
- There is a lot of new stuff coming out of Apple in the next few months.
- Below are the key technologies. This is just a quick report off the top of
- my head. I will try and put together a better one when I bring in all the
- material I collected.
-
- Hardware:
-
- CD ROM drives will be an internal option on new CPU's.
- More Macs with 68040 processors with DSP chips.
-
- Power PC and a RISC based Mac. They showed a stock LC modified by adding a
- RISC chip and emulation software. The demo was running Microsoft excel.
- ( you know it works if it can run any Microsloth Application) :-)
-
- Hardware based DiskArray capable of transferring 80 megabytes (not bits!)
- per second (software based arrray was slower but still impressive). That is
- the equivalent of transferring the contents of two full 40 meg hard drives
- in one second. Of course, this data transfer rate overpowers the CPU bus so
- they had to come up with a new way of getting the data into the machine.
- Hence the release of QuickRing . A new data bus for Nubus cards cabable
- handling this data overload.
-
- Wireless AppleTalk network was demoed. They transferred a file via
- applefileshare from a powerbook to the demo Mac.
-
-
- WorldScript:
-
- Support of all languages including 2 bytes per character scripts like Kanji
- and Arabic. This will allow world wide release of system software without
- the normal delays in localization for the specific countries.
-
- QuickDraw GX:
-
- The new version of QuickDraw based on vectors and objects instead of
- bitmaps. Its designed to image to any resolution (not just 72 dot per inch)
- and to any device. Everything is an object and all kinds of transformations
- can be done to object like stretching, skewing, perspective and rotations.
- Text is an object like any other object in GX and all the transformations
- can be applied to text as well.
-
- Line Layout Manger & New Fonts:
-
- A typographer dream come true. All fonts are handled properly (TrueType and
- Type 1). Line Layout Manager handles all the details of vertical or
- horizontal text. Also handle text on a path or rotated in any direction.
- Any Font and any Script system. Real small caps. Optical centering.
- Automatic handling of ligatures. Drop Caps. Multiple baselines , ascenders
- and descenders. This stuff was amazing.
-
- New Printing Architecture:
-
- Based on QuickDraw GX, the new print manager will finally make printing as
- easy as its supposed to be. All transformations and transfer modes that are
- available to QuickDraw are now available on ANY printer.
-
- Drag and drop printing. Desktop printers. No more print monitor. Background
- printing to all printers not just LaserWriters. A special folder in the
- finder for spooled print jobs. To cancel a print job, just drag it to the
- trash. To move a print job, just drag it to a different printer.
-
- Printer drivers can be written within hours. Special extensions can be
- written to handle the print dialogs or any part of the printing process.
- One example shown was an extension to put light gray text behind the image
- to be printed. Also, another extension was mentioned that could take the
- print job and print thumbnails or N-up pages. Support for different paper
- type in one document. (i.e. First page is envelope, second page is letter
- head and third page is 2nd sheet.)
-
- (I can't believe the Tom Dowdy and company kept this printing stuff
- so quite for all these years.)
-
- Open Collaboration Environment (OCE):
-
- This was the one of the biggest things at the conference. The stuff in OCE
- are:
-
- Standard mail interface for all applications.
- Mail in every application just like printing is.
- Digital signatures.
- You can sign a whole document part of a document of just one cell of in a
- document.
- Encryption.
- Standards for DES encryption.
- Directory services.
- Finder is enhanced with directories for network services like a fax
- machines,file servers, ISDN and TCP/IP or whatever devices are attached to
- the network. Cellular phone. Telephony. Video conferencing integration with
- telephone services like voice mail.
-
-
- AppleScript:
-
- A hypertalk like language for the Mac. Can be written in any language and
- translated on the fly. Fast, compiled code is stored on disk . Uses apple
- events to work. Applications must be rewritten to take advantage or the
- recording of scripts. (apps must send an apple event for everything that is
- done in the application so that the recorder can see it). Applications that
- are not system 7 savvy will not benefit from AppleScript.
-
- QuickTime:
-
- Improvements in speed, capabilities and media support. Speed is really
- impressive. Support for black and white movie playback. Better
- compression,dithering and movie playback speed. Neat-o video effects like
- blue-screening and free form rotation of a playing movie. Also added
- support for a generic media handler. Can handle anything stored in it.
- Showed a demo of a movie, with text as the media type, was used to show closed
- caption text. Also used text to show time code (pseduo). Text was used to
- create movie titles. Now you can make your own home movies. Better movie
- editing with cut,copy and paste with selected frames. Also support for MIDI
- data. You can either select a software MIDI synth or you can select an
- external MIDI device for sound output.
-
- BENTO:
-
- New industry standard on cross platform document sharing. Did not see this
- technology in action.
-
- SoundManager:
-
- Support for 16bit CD quality sound. Changed the 22khz sound to the industry
- standard 22.05? khz( apple was off by a few hz's) Entirely rewritten sound
- manager for better performance . Cost on CPU time is now down to about 20%
- CPU usage instead 60-80 % it is now. I think this is at 22khz stereo sound.
- MIDI was mentioned in the same breath as Apple Corp. so I think Apple solved
- the legal problem with the former Beatles record label. Not to much detail
- about MIDI was given though. :-(
- Support for external hardware like the DigiDesign's audiomedia card.
-
- Speech and Voice recognition:
-
- Show a demo of Casper the speech recognition technology. It was demoed with
- a mock VCR programing application. The user asked Casper to start taping
- channel five at 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Casper then opened the VCR program and
- entered the spoken command into the edit field.
-
- Casper was then asked to pay some bills. The user said "Casper Pay PG&E
- 123.18 and Casper opened the checkbook application and wrote out a check to
- PG&E for that amount.
-
- I can't remember but I think the user called the Mac and asked Casper to read
- him any email messages that he had.The then read out load using the new text
- to speach manager, the mail messages.
-
- Macintalk has been replaced with Macintalk II. There is a low quality
- version that takes about 100K of memory or so. Then there is a better
- quality one that takes up about 1.5 Megs of memory. Both versions are very
- impressive. They can tell a lot about English and can tell the difference
- between Dr. Who (doctor) and Rodeo Dr. (drive) when used in context.
- Also punctuation effects inflection.
-
-
- Pen Based Computing:
-
- Showed a demo of pen technology and its pretty amazing. Check mark an item
- to open it. There is a compatibility mode so the pen will work in any
- application. Just write on the pad and the computer translates the writing
- into text. (it uses a dictionary to correctly guess what you are writing).
- Open paren and close paren on a chuck of text selects that text. Write a
- delete gesture and the text is cut. Write a insert gesture and the text is
- pasted in at the insertion mark. This was a demo in a standard
- Mac write II application it think.
-
- Then they brought out the guy who wrote the equation editor that FRAME
- bought and used for their Word Processor. He took the pen technology and
- wrote the most amazing equation editor ever seen on ANY computer. The crowd
- went crazy while he was demoing his software. (he got the only standing
- ovation in the entire week) He would just write an equation as you would on
- a piece of paper and the computer would first translate it into the proper
- typographical symbols and then solve the problem. He could move things back
- and forth across the equal sign and the computer automatically did the
- right thing. Same thing with a divide line He would select an equation and
- write the letter g and would get a graph instantly.

-
- Nah, you just haven't memorized the Six Volumes. :-) Seriously, check out
- the note near the bottom of IM-IV, page 121. I quote:
-
- NOTE: Bit 7 of ioPosMode is the newline flag; it's set if read
- operations should terminate at the newline character. The ASCII
- code of the newline character is specified in the high-order byte
- of ioPosMode. If the newline flag is set, the data will be read
- one byte at a time until the newline character is encountered,
- ioReqCount bytes have been read, or the end-of-file is reached. If
- the newline flag is clear, the data will be read one byte at a time
- until ioReqCount bytes have been read or the end-of-file is reached.
-
-
- As to why this isn't referred to by the index...

- One thing Inside Mac won't tell you:
- Newline mode is only implemented in the file manager. It will not work to
- try to read the serial port in newline mode. This is really stupid, since
- if it did work, it would make PBRead similar in behavior to a normal unix
- read() (which returns one line from a serial device.) And it would be
- consisttent with Newline mode read from a file, but that is the way it has
- been since the beginning.
- (Caveat, the last time I actually tested this was a few systems back. Apple
- may have fixed it and not told anyone.)

-
- TextEdit is not a text editor. It's a simple text handler for dialogs
- and other small text areas. It was never meant to be used with large
- chunks of text and degrades rather swiftly when given more than small
- amounts of text.
-
- There are a number of third party solutions for text editing (Word
- Solution Engine comes to mind). Many programs impliment their own
- text handling - yes it's work, but not all that hard...

- Does anyone have suggestions on the best (by whatever standard) text

- /**********************************************************************
- CPEditText.c
-
- Methods for text editing class for the THINK Class Library
-
- SUPERCLASS = CAbstractText
-
- ---- DESCRIPTION ----
-
- CPEditText is a class for version 1.1.x of Symantec's THINK Class
- Library that implements a simple text editing pane. It can be used as
- a direct replacement for the standard TCL CEditText class. However,
- since CPEditText does not use the standard Macintosh TextEdit
- routines, it supports fixed-width tabs and can be used to display and
- edit more than 32k of text.
-
- ---- LIMITATIONS ----
-
- CPEditText is designed to implement an MPW-style text editor, and as
- such it supports only a single font, size and style for text. The
- code also does not use the Macintosh Script Manager routines, so it
- may not work properly with certain international versions of System
- software. This initial release of CPEditText employs a less-than-
- optimal approach to buffer management, and consequently performance
- may be somewhat sluggish when editing large (>100k) text buffers.
- Some or all of these limitations may be addressed in a future release
- of this source code.
-
- ---- VERSION HISTORY ----
-
- o 1.0b1 (27 April 1992)
- - Initial public release
-
- o 1.0b2 (30 April 1992)
- - Fixed cosmetic bug in DoClick that caused insertion caret
- to not get erased when selection range changed

-
- Actually, TextEdit's limits are even lower than that.
- I think there's a tech note about it.

-
- I can understand TextEdit having a 32K limit, but the fact that

- I believe the latest versions of MPW have been including an installer utility which
- puts everything in its place; if not, the manual should describe it all. In brief,
- create an MPW folder at the root level of your disk, copy the shell and the scripts
- which aren't in any folder into that folder, and copy all the folders into that
- folder. Note that if you bought more than one compiler and/or assembler, you may
- need to move the subfolders of :MPW:Includes: and :MPW:Libraries: together -- I
- think it will become clear as you do it. Then start MPW.
-
- There's a pretty good book on MPW which describes MPW 3.x. There used to be a book
- describing MPW 2.x that also might be helpful, if it hasn't gone out of print. MPW
- is a very powerful environment, but much less intuitive than some other development
- tools for the Mac; familiarity with Unix is helpful.

- Hmm? I think what you need is the MacTCP developer's kit, available from apple.
- It lists detailed descriptions of the MacTCP calls and how to make them. If, on
- the other hand, you've seen this and want something simpler and easier to use,
- I'm writing a library for an easy-to-use event driven interface to MacTCP; if

- help with that too, great! ;).
