In this case "script" refers to writing script. In other words, this is
code to support non-Roman scripts, such as Kanji, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew,
etc.
The Script Manager provides some useful routines for text manipulation. It
handles details about right-to-left writing direction, 2-byte characters,
word breaks, parsing, etc.
The Script Manager itself is just an interface that talks to a Script
Interface System that does most of the work. The default interface system
is Roman, and there exist interface systems for Kanji, Arabic, and Chinese
(that I know of).
More information about the Script Manager can be found in Inside Macintosh
Volume 5, a draft of which is available from APDA.

Subject: Mac Kermit Configuration Files.
In the last issue of Info-Mac there was a question about configuring Mac
Kermit to use the keypad and arrow keys on a Mac+. We here at the
University of Orego n have already done this, and I'm willing to make it
available to anybody that wants it.
NOTE: Personally, I find the Mac to be a terrible terminal, but it could be
that I just love my beloved battle-scarred 3278c too much. I haven't used
this package very much, but I'm told that it makes a passable setup. No
guarantees from me -- I just give the stuff away. Send all queries to
556@OREGON1.BITNET.

Subject: Question
Hello. I found this SIG on the ARPANET SIGS list and was wondering if
you might be able to help me with a techincal question.
We have a III FR80/A color microfilmer system. We normally use
it via our CDC mainframes by way of 1600bpi mag tape. What we
would like to do is be able to process files from a micro-drawing
program (such as Apple's Macdraw, etc.), transfer
them to our mainframes (using CDC's CONNECT product, which can
transfer a micro file in straight binary), then translate the
micro data format to microfilmer format. The problem is, I
haven't been able to locate any description of how the micro
files are formatted. I presume they are in some sort of compacted
raster format but it's not obvious looking at dumps. Do you or
any people on the list know something about this?

Mac Hangul-III consists of two components:
1) Mac Hangul(III) 3.11 is a DA handling Hangul keyboard
arrangement and Hangul consonants and vowels.
2) Hangul 3.01 has nine Hangul fonts.
Mac Hangul-III is said to work well with nearly all programs running on
Macintosh. For example, it seems to work well with MacWrite and Microsoft
Word. You can try Mac Hangul-III on other programs you have.
Mac Hangul-III is made free by the support of Dr. Byung Woo Kong who
first invented Korean typewriters. He is currently living in PA and his
address is shown above. Those who get a copy of Mac Hangul-III free are
advised (not required) to donate some money to him, *IF* they like Mac
Hangul-III and they want to help Dr. Kong develop more Hangul softwares and
distribute them FREE.
You are advised to get a copy of Mac Hangul-III manual to use it
properly. Although Mac Hangul-III itself is FREE, there will be a nominal
charge for a manual to cover copying/shipping/handling cost. To get your
own copy of a Mac Hangul-III manual, please contact the following people

Subject: Calendar 1.7
This Calendar 1.7, the shareware permanent calendar desk accessory that
lets you associate an agenda with each day. It has scroll bars, help,
and undo.
Recently someone posted to the net a description of a bug that occurs
when a desk accessory puts up an alert: the Macintosh operating system
calls the desk accessory to deactivate and update its main window, but
it doesn't lock the desk accessory's code segment during the call.
Calendar used to have this problem. Calendar 1.7 does not.
Customizing Calendar to start the week on the day of your choice:
German and French speaking users of Calendar will discover that
Calendar automatically uses the correct names and punctuations for the
date, time, days of the week, and months. However, youll have to modify
Calendar to make the week start on Monday or Saturday instead of on
Sunday. Heres how.
Use Apples tool ResEdit. In ResEdit, open the Calendar suitcase desk
accessory file. Among other resources, You will find one resource of
type GNRL. Open it. You will see:
00 00
In this resource, the days of the week are numbered from 0=Sunday to
6=Saturday. To change Calendar to start the week with Monday, change
the resource to:
00 01
Then save and quit as normal. Now, use the Font/DA Mover to remove any
other Calendar you have in your System file, and install your modified
one in its place.

Subject: Presentation materials on Macs?
I'm going to be giving several presentations on the four Macs and would
like to use slides of Macs, screens, & peripherals. Does anyone know where
I can buy/borrow some? I'll need them for about a week.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Subject: Keyboards and Spellers
Hi all!
Just two questions (this time):
1. Does anyone know if there will be a converter that will allow us poor
old Mac+ slobs to use the new keyboards. The smaller of the new keyboards
looks quite similar to the Mac+ keyboard, but the feel of the keys is
fantastic! It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult, but I really
don't know. That would sure make us "mainstreamers" that can't afford the
new Macs feel somewhat benefitted by their existence 8-).
2. Anyone out there use Mac-Spell-Right by the now defunct Assimilation
Process Company? I am assuming they are defunct since their phone no longer
works and Kensington now sells their trackball mouse. Anyway, someone here
where I work found a copy of MSR, purchased long before HFS ever existed.
We installed it, but it hangs when told to check. Can anyone say how to fix
this?
Thanks mightily!

Subject: Re: MS Word 3.0 problems
Folks, before you panic about MS Word 3.0 not being able to do all the
printing tricks you are used to, try holding down the shift key while you
select Page Setup... and Print....
In the case of the imagewriter, there is a choice for Tall Adjusted in the
Shift-Page Setup... dialog box. Printing multiple copies on a Laserwriter
without having to re-image each page can be done by setting the number of
copies in the Shift-Print... dialog box (and having the number of copies in
the normal Print dialog box set to 1). Note: Word 3.0 does not print when
you hit OK after a Shift-Print.... You have to do a real Print... first.
