REF: Shareware Aladin In response to the above Ref, I think that there still a relatively large market for Pit's Shareware Aladin. For instant at the School of Architecture, National University of Singapore, I am teaching computer graphics course to the 1st Year (98 Students) and 4th year Computer Electives (15 Students) each year. One of the program I demonstrate in the classes is SCHEMA by Mark Van Norman (I bought from Harvard Graduate School of Design). Since we have only 5 ALadin (Version 1.3e) and 1 Magic Sac (Version 6.1) for student to use. The shareware will be inexpensive enough for each student to buy one for their own use. There are 20 Atari 520STs with 1MB EZ RAM upgraded and 6 Mega 4s for these 2 courses. I myself own 1 each of MagicSac 6.1, Spectre 128, Spectre GCR and Aladin 1.3e. Forget to mention that SCHEMA is a Mac 3D Modeling Prg selling to the Harvard's students at US$20.Please release your shareware quick,Regard.

REF: Message ID 5236@BGSUVAX.UUCP, The mouse switch. I have changed the switch for my mouse. I bought 2 switches for about $0.25 each from a local electronic part dealer. Just looking for the one that has 4 pins and selecting the one that has softest action. Check it contact assign- ment with Ohm meter before replacement as not all of them have the same contact as the Atari mouse switch. I have to bend up 1 pin (not connect) and soldered only 3 pins to the pc board. It may require some filing of the button to adjust it to the correct height. Mac using micro switch for its mouse. I also found suitable size micro switch that could be used for Atari mouse but you will have to cut the stems underneath the mouse buttons. I am still not keen to do that yet. Micro switch is much higher than the square button type switchs used in the original Atari mouse. Althogh it has 4 pins connects to pc board but it is only on/off actions therefore the 2 pin Micro switch will work. Sujarittanonta

Jan Ameij <AMEIJ%vax.oxford.ac.uk@NSFnet-Relay.AC.UK> mentioned that he had been having problems using Uniterm with VAX Kermit-32 when transfering binary files. The problem is on VAX Kermit-32. If you select file type binary, it insists of changing the binary file's record length. As you have discovered, the fix is to set file type to fixed in Kermit-32 and set Uniterm's file type to binary.
