[net.micro.mac] Questions

The net link to Minnesota has been down for weeks so forgive me if I am
repeating things.

I have a programing question. How can one draw text side ways. The way most
programs label a verticle axis? I'm wrighting a scientific graphing package
that I will post, (if that is still being done), when finished.

Are things still being posted ? I have a couple of small programs, with code,
that I would like to post.

One more thing. There is a file server for Unix to the Mac that I believe
comes with the SUMAC tape? Can someone who has this send me just the file
server? Is that legal?
                                               Thank You

I'm fairly certain that I've seen some of these questions asked before,
and of course I never paid attention to the answers.  At the risk of
upsetting some people

When using MacTerminal
1.  How do I generate a break?  The manual says to type "enter", but
this doesn't work.

2.  How do I type a "delete" character?  A can (of course) type a
backspace, but on VMS for example, it's not always what I want.

3. When using Manx's Z editor (the vi look-alike), how do I get a
backquote into my file?  Z uses the backquote instead of an escape
character to end insert mode.

Please respond by mail.
