I downloaded and unbinhexed and unpackited the tech notes regarding the installation of SIMMs (#176?). What I got was four files: one general, and three specific for the Plus, SE, and II, respectively. The problem is that the specific files are in a format that I can't read. Neither MacWrite, nor Word or even Teachtext can read it. The general file came through as a MacWrite file. Could the person who posted these files please tell me what format the three specific files are in or repost them with the files in a popular format such as MacWrite? Thanks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Howard Moskovitz AT&T Bell Labs @ Liberty Corner, NJ ihnp4!io!howard

Does anyone have a p-d program that can read MacDraw format files?
I don't think I want to spend $270(Cdn) just to read part of a TechNote..

The format of those mystery files is MacDraw, as the note in part 1 says, and it would be quite impossible to put them out in word processor form because they are multi page pictures. A hint for those who want to print them in reasonable space: Use 50% reduction and do not select 'no space between pages' It's a ribbon drain, but it looks real good.

They are diagrams in MacDraw format. You need MacDraw to look at them. -- Roger L. Long FileNet Corp {hplabs,trwrb}!felix!bytebug

The other files are in MacDraw format (which you would have discovered
had you read the MacWrite file). I don't know exactly why they
weren't just pasted into the MacWrite file as figures.

You should be able to get someone who does have MacDraw to cut them to
the clipboard and paste them into MacWrite. I'd do it for you except
that I'm pretty far away.

The problem (we have the same 'problem' with many of our MacDraw pictures here, too) is that the drawings are printed with LW 50% reduction. Trying to shrink these types of drawings to half size in MacWrite (or Word) has always produced less than optimal results -- mostly because the text doesn't shrink with it. Also, isn't there a limit on the size of PICT you can safely paste? These things are large, one of the TN176 drawings is 2400 objects, taking about 35% of memory (MD's estimate) on my 512KE (Sys 3.2). +----------------+ ! II CCCCCC ! Jim Cathey ! II SSSSCC !

I just printed the pictures out on my ImageWriter II in 50% reduction mode (from MacDraw), and everything was hunky dory! Yes, each drawing did fit on one sheet of paper. -Ted
