Subject: SENDING OF LARGE FILES TO INFO-MAC
I just spent about 1 hour saving the current digest's postings
from the bitbucket. The problem was that a very large file was sent
to info-mac and our mailer here can only deal with a total mail file
of <350k. Normally this is no problem but since 5 files of more than
100K each were sent, I ended up with a mail file of >900K total. This
caused enormous problems and meant quite a bit of work. This is a plea
to those who want to post programs larger than 150K. Please coordinate
with me on these postings so I can handle the load without the mishaps
which occured today. Thanks, David

Subject: Followup to Strange, Evil MacFortran 2.2 Bug
Sender:
Reply-to: ngp!wmartin@ngp.utexas.edu (Wiley Sanders)
This is followup to a previous net.nicro.mac message about a "strange,evil"
bug in MacFortran 2.2. The problem concerned a
line that, in spite of being an IF statement that was never executed (ie
the condition was never true), resulted in trashing values passed to an external function, *regardless of whether the parameters were touched
(equated) in the function*. The problem disappeared when the line was
commented out.
The problem has been traced to the use of an 'execute' statement. For
example, in the following program the values la,j, and m are trashed upon
returning from the external function 'bugger', even though they are not
changed in the external functions:
C This program does not work
C remove or cooment out line 6 (the if/execute stmt) and it will work
program tst
real la
integer j,m
do 20 m=1,4
la=480./3600.
j=24
if (m.EQ.-1) execute 'v2:MacFortran 2.2'
write (9,fmt='(a,f14.2,2i20)') 'Bef Passing:',la,j,m
write (9,fmt='(a,f14.2)') 'Val of bugger:',bugger(la,j,m)
20 write (9,fmt='(a,f14.2,2i20)') 'Aft Passing:',la,j,m
pause
execute 'v2:macFortran 2.2'
end
real function bugger(lambda,i,m)
C just passes the factorial of the third parameter
real lambda
integer i,m
write (9,100) 'bugger:',lambda,i,m
100 format(a,f14.2,3x,2i20)
bugger=real(ifact(m))
return
end
integer function ifact(i)
C Compute Factorial
C Param - i Returns - i!
integer i,k
ifact=1
IF (i.EQ.0) return
do 5 k=1,i
5 ifact=ifact*k
return
end
If line 6 is changed from
if (m.EQ.-1) execute 'v2:MacFortran 2.2'
to
if (m.EQ.-1) stop
the bug disappears and everything is OK. The moral? 1) Someone should
fix this bug. 2) Don't use the 'execute'
statement. (Or at least don't embed them deep in the body of a program.)

Keywords: MACINTOSH WORD 3.00 ANNOUNCEMENT PRESS RELEASE
This is the long-awaited press release announcing Microsoft Word 3.00 for
the Apple Macintosh. One feature this press release doesn't mention is
that you now have an option to keep any combination of the program and/or
the document in memory. More info will be available soon.

- MICROSOFT WORD VERSION 3.00 FOR THE APPLE MACINTOSH -
NEW YORK, NY -- October 27, 1986 -- Microsoft Corporation today
announced Microsoft Word Version 3.0 for Apple Macintosh systems, with
revolutionary new features that make it the best document processor or
any personal computer. Microsoft Word advances word processing on the
Macintosh in the way Microsoft Excel advanced financial analysis a year
ago.
Microsoft Word for the Macintosh is extremely fast. In addition,
features unique to Microsoft Word for the Macintosh include flexible
menus, Quick-Switch, Page Preview, and the ability to place graphics
and text side by side. According to Microsoft chairman, Bill Gates,
"Microsoft Word for the Macintosh has lightening speed. I think this
is the fastest word processor ever on a personal computer."
This new version of Microsoft Word offers an impressive list of
features in a graphics-based environment which are accessible even to
the novice user. Word's functions work together, are consistent, and
can be easily accessed by someone without dedicated word processing
experience. When combined with an Apple LaserWriter, Microsoft Word
Version 3.0 produces the highest-quality output available from any
personal computer-based system.
"Our four years of intensive experience with developing software for
the Macintosh gives us the technological edge to produce fast,
sophisticated applications programs," said Gates. "Microsoft Word 3.0
uses the superior graphics capabilities of the Macintosh to give users
the flexibility to easily generate a great-looking document from start
to finish."
Microsoft Word 3.0 for the Macintosh combines features of high-end
personal computer-based word processing programs with the ease of use
and graphical user interface of the Macintosh. The result is
high-speed software that makes it very easy to prepare
professional-looking documents ranging from memos to long reports that
combine text and graphics. The new version of Word for the Macintosh
includes such advanced capabilities as:
Faster Execution-- Most commonly used functions like scrolling,
saving, and printing are significantly faster than previous versions of
Microsoft Word.
Flexible Menus-- Short Menus list only the basic word processing
features, very similar to MacWrite. The learning process is
accelerated, because the more sophisticated functions are not apparent.
As novice users progress, one keystroke offers access to Full Menus and
more advanced functions, including outlining, style sheets, and
Quick-Switch. Finally, the ability to customize menus gives
experienced users the power to build the menu of choice for a valuable
shortcut to their most-used commands.
Compound Documents and Quick-Switch-- Microsoft Word 3.0 for the
Macintosh supports documents that include data in the form of text,
but-mapped graphics, object-oriented graphics, formatted numerical
tables, and equations. Word makes it easy to edit these other types of
data using Quick-Switch. the users need only remember one command key
to access and return from other appropriate software. Word performs
the necessary data manipulation. Users can change text, draw lines,
formulate equations and resize or crop graphics from within Microsoft
Word 3.0.
Page Preview-- To eliminate surprises at final output, users can
view on-screen headers, footers, margins, and page breaks of two entire
pages, exactly as they will be printed. These then can be
interactively adjusted, which saves time and effort by eliminating
repeat printings.
Page Layout Flexibility and Desktop Publishing-- Microsoft Word
allows text and graphics to be laid out in multiple snaking columns or
in independent (side-by-side) columns. Graphics can be moved with text
within the same paragraph. Embedded PostScript gives the user the
ability to tap the full potential of the Apple LaserWriter. Microsoft
Word for the Macintosh is designed to work seamlessly with Aldus
PageMaker for those individuals requiring the advanced features of page
layout program. All character and paragraph formatting in Word is
maintained when the text is "poured" into a page layout.
Integrated Outliner-- A integrated outliner allows writers to
organize ideas, get a fast overview of work-in-progress, and reorganize
lengthy documents. When headings are restructured in Outline view, the
accompanying text is automatically moved.
Integrated Style Sheets-- Documents can be formatted quickly and
consistently using integrated style sheets, which make it easy to
maintain a consistent look throughout all documents. Styles can be
defined or modified as thent is created to effect changes
instantly throughout the document.
Data Exchange-- Version 3.0 includes a conversion utility for the
IBM Document Content Architecture (DCA) format. It also supports
built-in two-way data conversion with other leading software packages
or standards in other environments including Microsoft Word for the PC,
Rich Text Format (RTF),ASCII files, MacWrite, and Microsoft Works.
Column Manipulation-- Microsoft Word 3.0 includes traditional column
manipulation functions such as column move, delete, five function math
(=,-,%,x,/), and sorting.
Spelling Corrector-- An 80,000-word spelling corrector is integrated
in Microsoft Word 3.0.
With its increased graphics capabilities and flexible formatting,
Microsoft Word 3.0 for the Macintosh complements today's desktop
publishing systems. Version 3.0 integrates many of the formatting
features traditionally found in desktop publishing systems and, with
PostScript support, provides users with more sophisticated features
required for complex page layout designs.
The advanced document processing capabilities of Microsoft Word 3.0
help position the Macintosh on the desks of business users by providing
a powerful program designed for serious business tasks. The increased
power, graphical user interface, and improved keyboard of the Macintosh
Plus combined with Microsoft Word 3.0 produce the highest-quality
professional documents possible on a personal computer.
Office environments that utilize both Macintosh and IBM personal
computers will benefit from the data conversion capabilities of Version
3.0, as well as complete utilization of the Macintosh Plus keyboard.
Microsoft Word 3.0 users can perform cursor movements and selection
from the keypad.
Microsoft Word for Apple Macintosh systems requires a minimum of
512K memory. The program is delivered on an 800K disk, but owners of
the 512K Macintosh who have not upgraded to an 800K double-sided disk
drive can obtain a copy on two 400K disk free of charge by completing
the coupon included in the Word 3.0 package and returning it to
Microsoft.
The product is expected to ship in January 1987, will have a
suggested retail price of $395, and will not be copy protected.
Current registered users can upgrade to Version 3.0 for $99. In
mid-November registered users will be notified by mail of the upgrade
process. Users who purchase a license for Microsoft Word 1.05 after
October 1, 1986, and submit proof of purchase, will receive the Version
3.0 for $50.

Subject: MS Word ver. 3.0
For those of you who haven't heard yet, Microsoft has announced a new version
of Word, version 3.0, for the Macintosh. The announcement was made on Oct. 27
and the new product is expected to ship in January, 1987. Here is a list of
some of the new features, taken from Microsoft's press release.
1. More speed (Bill Gates claims it will be the fastest word processor for any
personal computer.)
2. Flexible Menus -- "Short Menus" for novice users and "Full Menus" for power
users. Also has the ability to customize menus, offering a low-level macro
building facility
3. Compound Documents and Quick Switch -- Word allows users to draw lines
right in the text window. Also has math capabilities and ability to place
text and graphics side by side. Quick Switch is not clearly explained, but
seems to be the Switcher-like ability to suspend Word, leaving it in mem-
ory, and launch another application which when quit will return the user
to Word. Graphics may be cropped as well as resized within Word.
4. Page Preview -- like Excel's
5. Multiple columns may be contiguous or independent, allowing film or
video scripts to be edited with ease. This gives Word some simple DTP
abilities.
6. Word generates its own PostScript, implying that the PS may be editable.
7. Built-in outlining. Text blocks may be linked to outline headings, so that
when a heading is moved the text is moved with it.
8. Style Sheets -- Formats may be stored in style sheet documents so that
standard formats may be created and used easily. Entire document formats
may be edited at once by modifying style sheets.
9. Import/Export abilities: IBM's DCA, Word for PC, RTF, ASCII, MacWrite,
Works
10. Entire columns may be moved or deleted.
11. Sorting.
12. Built-in 80,000 word spelling checker.
To be shipped on 800K disks, 400K available by mail at no charge. Requires 512K.
Price: $395 NOT COPY PROTECTED!! (Is this a Microsoft product???) Upgrade
policy: $99, except for copies purchased after October 1, 1986, which can be
upgraded for $50. Anybody seen this? Please let us know what you think...
Also! SuperPaint (Combining Bitmap and Object Graphics) is in late beta and
is really incredible. Keep your eyes open. Cricket Draw is even more incredible
and is also in late beta. Watch out, graphics power users. Here they come!
Any other new product news? Please let us know!

Subject: New machine rumors (again)
Some disparaging news: Heavy money is riding on a bet saying that the new 020
machine will not be out in March and probably will not make it out in 87.
Apparently demo versions of the machines have been very buggy and crash prone.
Some insiders think that the problems run fairly deep in the machine and will
take quite some time to fix.
Of course, this all comes from people unwilling to be quoted, although I can
say that they are affiliated with Team BMUG. So, anyone interested in
starting a pool?

Subject: Questions about Apple documents, version numbers, and more
Date: 10 Nov 86 06:20:06 PST (Mon)
A few questions from across the Atlantic...
1/ I have seen messages talking about manuals like "Inside Appletalk"
or "Inside Switcher", or whatever. Are these available from Apple?
Any external source, as for Inside Macintosh?
2/ What are the most recent versions of MacsBug and ResEdit? BTW how do
you get the version number of MacsBug?
3/ Can anybody give me a summary of the keywords used in ResEdit templates?
4/ Is there an equivalent of MacTools for HFS disks?
5/ In several occasions, I have seen MacPlusses (real or upgraded) come
up with the wrong keyboard routines when booted from an official System
disk (either 3.1/5.1 or 3.2/5.3). It can happen at random with the same
Mac+ and the same disk!! It looks like it decided the keyboard was the
old model, or maybe the US one. Has anybody seen that in the US? Maybe
it's something to add to the long list of translation-to-foreign-
language bugs...
6/ I've been playing with the Printing Manager in LightSpeedC and
AztecC. It looks like the generic printing routines don't use all
the memory available to image pages to print. So I end up printing
small bands one at a time, with long pauses to redraw the page for
each band. Are there any well known techniques around for optimizing
printing? (Please no printer specific hacks!)
Thanks to all for any answers.

[ note from moderator: contact APDA for information about documentation from
Apple. They sell inside LaserWriter. Inside Switcher was part of the March
1986 software supplement and should be available from APDA (Apple Programmers
and Developer's Association, 290 SW 43rd St., Renton, WA 98055 ). Version
6.1 of CopyIIMac includes a version of Mactools which is HFS compatible. I
believe it has only limited file recovery tools for HFS disks however. DAVEG ]S\11-Nov-86 15:31:53-PST,1387;000000000001

Subject: Spread Data program
Here is a program to help Multiplan and Excel users convert an ordinary
data file into a format that can be loaded into the spread sheet. It's
called Spread Data.
If you have data files (or reports) that contain spaces between fields,
and if you try to load these files into a spreadsheet program, all the
fields go into the first column - not very useful.
With this program you can specify up to 24 columns of data, and convert
those columns of a data file into a format that is 'expected' by Multiplan
or Excel (the format requires 'tabs' between fields instead of 'spaces').
This program allows output to a disk file or the clip board or both.
We don't claim to support this program, but we are open to suggestions.
It's public domain, use at your own risk, source available upon request.
Regards,
Jim Logan (loganj@byuvax.bitnet)

This is being posting for the author:
This posting contains the latest, fully tested and debugged version of FzzPlot.
FzzPlot is a shareware ($15) utility that lets you do quick and dirty plots
of nearly unlimited amounts of data, and do some analysis (least-squares) on
that data. FzzPlot is also free of some of the more annoying quirks found
in Cricket Graph and Microsoft Chart.
The release notes (a MacWrite 4.5 document) and a test data file are enclosed.
Download the file, then use BinHex 4.0 or later to convert it, then Packit
I, II, or III to unpack the file. the FzzPlot application has its own icon, so
if you use your favorite file-munging utility, set the creator to 'FZPT', and
set the bundle bit.
Enjoy!!

I need to print disk labels for a project and created the design using

OKAY - So I've spent the past several months convincing upper, middle, lower

tool. I've even got them to agree to purchase three. But then the problem.
Here in the land of "BIG BLUE", printing is done to HP laserwriters. Since
the three Macs are part of a multi-PC buy, a laser printer is also going to
be purchased. From what I've heard there is an industry standard for laser
printers called POSTSCRIPT. Could anyone out there on the net enlighten me
as to what laserprinters use this format AND will also talk to IBM PCs.
Thanks in advance !!!

Hi everyone,
This may be old news in other parts of the country, but a new computer
store along Mass Ave here in Cambridge ran an advert over the weekend
where they were selling a Mac+ for $1399 and a Mac 512KE for $999. I
suspect this is a loss-leader to get people into the store (maybe they
make up for it with printer prices or something), but those seem like
good prices. Just thought people might be interested. It'll be
interesting to see if this produces a new price point in the area or
whether they'll run into trouble due to lack of profit margin.
