Open up the clock and disable the alarm to stop the blinking. I converted my MacPaint picture enlarger into MacForth; If anybody wants a copy of either the Basic or the Forth version, send me a Macintosh diskette. My address is: (Please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope.) John Howard Palevich 175 Calvert Drive #F211 Cupertino, CA 95014 It took me about eight hours to write the Basic version, and about twenty hours to write the Forth version. The Basic version takes about 35 minutes to process a file, while the MacForth version takes about 5 minutes. One misfeature of both MacBasic and MacForth is that neither support the choose-a-file dialog box, which means that, in order to open a file on a disk other than the one the application booted from, you have to: 1.) Eject the application diskette 2.) Insert the disk you want to use 3.) Type RUN, or a Forth phrase. 4.) When asked for a file name, type <name-of-application>:<name-of-file>. Jack Palevich

It has to be manually reset by selecting the alarm clock, prying it open, and flicking the lever off.
