Actually, it's easy. You don't have to put the QuickDraw globals at their
usual position in memory. I put them in the stack and obtained a pointer to
their location to pass to InitGraf. The source code for an INIT that I had
written which prints the name of the startup volume on the screen is below:
It is in Lightspeed Pascal format.

Subject: Find an applicaton
I have a question regarding GetAppParms. Is there anyway for
an application to know the vrefnum of where it is running from?
The "tricky" way is to look at all mounted volumes using the
indexed file calls, but this will fail if the user puts two
disks in both with a copy of the application. Is there any other
way? GetAppParms returns the name of the application, but I really
need the vrefnum.

Subject: Re: Broken keys
I repaired a similar-sounding keyboard break (though not on a Mac)
after my 1-year-old knocked it off a shelf.
I used epoxy glue. In general, epoxy will adhere well to plastics IF
the surfaces are rough and the plastic is rigid. Some plastics, like
soft nylon and polyethylene, just about can't be glued. Most harder
plastics are fine, but if the surfaces are smooth, rough them up with
sandpaper (watch the dust!) or a Dremel tool on slow and a wire brush
(watch the dust, and don't wear away too much material!).
Getting the key on straight and clamping it in that position is
critical, but epoxy cures slowly so you have time to get it right.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: Broken Mac keys
In response to a question concerning the Mac Keyboard and rabid
three year olds breaking keys:
If you take appart your keyboard you will be able to see that its
basically designed as one unit, and the parts that tend to wear
out and break (namely the keyswitches themselves) are soldered into
the board. In addition, to make matters worse, the keyswitches
themselves are basically sealed units, so your only choice
is to replace the entire keyswitch. But as apple doesn't make
repairs requiring a soldering iron anyway, their solution is the
charge you what amounts to a "keyboard logic board replacement",
which amounts to the apple default amount of about $150 ( i think)..
It may be less, but in any case, it's not really cheap. Since
I seriously doubt that in the future you're going to be having
any OTHER problems with the keyboard. (What else could go wrong,
other than chip problems), the best solution is to repair
the keyboard, either yourself, or get someone at the computer
store to help you. It's about a five minute operation to remove
the keyswitch. The only problem, of course, is that you need
a keyswitch to replace it with. I happened to be in luck as i
had just done a MacPlus keyboard upgrade, and my old keyboard
was totally shot anyways, and who really needs that 1 key anyways.
Works super now. A store might also have some extra keyboard/
switches available.
I'm not responsible if anyone trys this and melts down their
keyboard. I had good luck with it, that's all.
The temporary solution is a DA i have that lets you enter key characters
that are broken, If anyone wants i can post to the net.

Subject: Mac Keyboard interface
Well, I too have a broken keyboard, and don't want to unsolder the key
bottom to fix it. But I might almost go for some soldering to attach a
Lisa keyboard to a Mac, if they're even remotely compatible! (It's a
512Ke, so it supposedly could take the Plus keyboard. So the software
would be OK, if the hardware could be made simpatico.)
Anybody ever looked inside both keyboards? Is this guaranteed to lose?
It looks like the Mac has a 4-wire plug, while the Lisa has only 3...
Is the 4th wire in use?
My Lisa is only worth being used as spare parts anyway.

Subject: Kermit for Mac +
I am a new user of the MacPlus and I am having problems running Kermit
on my machine. The Kermit is version 0.8(34) that seems to run very
nicely on 512K Macs. As far as I am able to get - Kermit works fine on
the MacPlus except:
1) The font selected by Kermit to display the dialog of the conversation
is the Cairo pictographic font. ASCII characters leave and enter the
comm port correctly, but are displayed as bombs, telephones, etc on the
Mac screen. This is my major problem because it prevents Kermit from being
a useful terminal emulator.
2) While using MacKermit as a server. The remote Kermit issued a "bye"
command that caused the MacKermit to reboot the Mac and loose all of the
files sent to it during the "server session." This problem can be
avoided.
I have looked at some previous Mac and Kermit newsletters without seeing
this problem mentioned. To the best of my knowledge mine is the first
MacPlus (with a hard disks and a lot of installed fonts) to attempt to
run Kermit in town.
I may have not included sufficient detail for you to answer my question.
If so, please tell me what else you need to know. Thanks, Bob G

Subject: Missing application problems/DataFrame XP20
I've experienced the same problems that Jon (PUGH@CCC.MFENET@nmfecc.arpa)
is having, as I've run into the "Can't Find Application" message too.
MacWrite has given me that problem, but I've also had Excel 1.03,
OverVUE 2.0 and Pagemaker 1.2 act up on me too. The only solution
I've found is to move the document from its directory to the directory
of the matching application. After opening the document, I quit the
application and then moved the offending document back to its original
directory. Things work fine after that.
I didn't have the problem of multiple Desktop files that Jon experienced.
I do agree with Jon that this is a consistant problem, as it has happened
to me numerous times. By the way, I'm running a Mac Plus with a
DataFrame XP20.
This problem is a time-consuming nuisance, and I hope someone out there
(especially Apple) can come up with a permanent solution in a hurry.
Just wanted to add that I love my DataFrame XP20! It is EXTREMELY FAST
and I have had no problems at all. No crashes, no lost data, no boot
problems. By the way, the DataFrame initializer application, Init 2.2
is now out--it replaces Init 2.1. The new version supposedly fixes
a minor bug, but I haven't noticed anything new. If you're in the market
for a hard disk, get the DataFrame XP20 or the XP40 (even faster).

Subject: Standard File Gripes
Since I'm a windbag (or should I say bitbag?) I might as well add my pet peeve
about the SFGetFile call. Whatever happened to the damn prompt!?!?! It's a
pain to have to specify a prompt that never appears and a worse one to let the
user guess as to why he has to select a file.
It is easy enough to add the other suggestions from Dave and Dave (Gelphman
and Oster) about Command-. (QUED uses Command N for cancel) and the Copy/Paste
issues by including your own filter proc. A better idea would be to install
it at the system level, but I cannot find any reference to a hook in The Book.
I imagine it would take some serious poking around (more than I care to do)
to find out how to patch a new routine in. But that prompt would take a lot
more work. Couldn't it be added in a new release of the System software. They
would have to add another item, I guess. I still want to know what happened
to it originally.

[ Updated 29-JAN-1987 19:20 by JIMH to version 1.5. This version has
improved Pagemaker file recovery. If one of the text or picture blocks is
trashed it marks that block as bad in the acta file and continues with the
recovery (a small oversight in 1.0). User interface has been improved and
a few cosmetic bug are fixed.]
This program converts a PageMaker file to an Acta file. It allows the
transfer of pagemaker files from Pagemaker to word processor, drawing, and
other pasteup programs. It also allows the recovery of data from many
crashed pagemaker files. This was originally written to allow the MUGS
online editors to convert their pagemaker files to a format that could be
shared between users groups. The purpose of this program was expanded
thanks to the comments of people like Ric Ford of MacInTouch, and some
local PageMaker users. It is free to all users groups for club activities.

Once again I must recommend VersaTerm PRO, the BEST terminal emulator for the
Macintosh. In addition to VT100, TEK 4014, and TEK 4105 (with color printing),
it also emulates a DG D200. However, since I haven't used it in that mode,
I cannot tell you how wonderful it is. I do know that VersaTerm has proven
itself in my book on the basis of it's performance in it's other 3 modes.
VersaTerm PRO 2.0 has just been released with oodles of new features. It is
available as a $10 update to owners of VersaTerm PRO 1.0 and $195 for owners
of plain old VersaTerm. It goes for $295 suggested retail. It is worth it.

Subject: Common Lisps for Mac
There aren't any REAL Common Lisps available for Mac AT THIS TIME.
I have, and use ExperCommonLisp, but it is very far from being
CommonLisp as defined by Steele. Scoping is different. Big chunks and
gobs of commands are simply non-existent. There are variations from
the standard in what commands are there.
I have used ExperLisp, and the newer ECL is much improved. But it is
not, as far as I'm concerned "Common" at all.
If you treat it as it is, it is okay. Not too many bugs, acceptable
(but somewhat buggy) documentation, some nice features. Toolbox is
supported. There is some form of Object Oriented Programming, which is
similar to SmallTalk's ("Classes" and "Methods"). There is a "file
compiler" that lets you make an application out of your Lisp program.
BUT, to quote the ECL manual, volume I, page 103,
"The file compiler does not support LAMBDA from any part of
your program. If LAMBDA is encountered during a file compile,
an error message will be displayed."
Well, you can decide. ECL is vaguely like CommonLisp, has some good
features, has fewer bugs than ExperLisp, still has bugs, and costs
$995. It is not copy protected.
MacScheme is on its way into my waiting hands. I have heard only good
things about it, but haven't used the newest version. It also allows
file compilation, toolbox access, and has a simplified, high level set
of routines for doing simple things (opening a standard window, for
example). It apparently does not have a built in method of OOPs.
Scheme, of course, is entirely a horse of a different color than
Common Lisp. I include MacScheme because it is (apparently) a working,
winning product.
On the other hand, I know that this situation cannot last much longer.
A company that I happen to know is developing a COMPLETE Common Lisp,
with many nice features. To say any more, I would violate a
non-disclosure agreement. I'll try to get them to post an official
promo for it.

Subject: Re: 68000 C and Assembler (V5 #45)
No doubt, the best 68000 assembler is Apple's with MPW. It
supports the 68000, 68010, 68020, 68881, 68851 and every addressing
mode and operation mode. If Mike wants to write low-level assembler
in supervisor this is probably it.
MPW comes with the assembler. It also include a disassembler
(DumpObj) if you want to tweak your C code.
MPW has an optional C based on the Green Hills compiler, supposedly
a good C compiler. Manx is also working on moving their C (Aztec)
to MPW, though I don't know what the date is. The price of MPW
and MPW C are going up 3/1; APDA is the only source.
Less fancy (and a lot cheaper) is Consulair C's new Mac C Jr.
at $80 (415 851 3272) which includes an inline assembler built in.
It produces MDS-compatible object code and can work with MDS if you
want to buy it.
I've been preaching MPW, but it's not the answer to every problem.
It requires a hard disk and MPW C requires 760k RAM minimum.
Bill Duvall provided a Mac-based C back in 1985 and has a lot
of experience in his software; I hope he's able to remain in business.

well as an "Activity" bar graph indicator (ranges from "idle" to
"busy"!). But most of the screen real estate is taken up by a very

A recent posting on ReadySetGo complained about crash problems

We used RSG3 here to paste up a 2 page 6 column pocket card,
and used extensive cut and paste throughout as well as numberous
font and style changes as we were working on it. Aside from sometimes
not erasing the very bottom of the page when it was on the screen,
we had no problems with it. The whole card went together very
quickly, and as we needed landscape mode, RSG seemed to fill the
bill. No doubt longer documents will surely show problems more
clearly than a short two pagers.
Oh yes, we used 7 pt times and 5 pt courier for the entire document,
so we had a fair amount of text in it. And can you beleive that
if you really want you can actually EDIT at that pt size? For
the heavy stuff i will admit that i resorted to enlarging to 10
pt.
We are very pleased with RSG3, but will keep our eyes out for
