Subject: AppleEvents & HC 2.1
I was playing around last night and managed to create a
stack that let's me experiment with events from/to HyperCard
on two machines across a net.
The stack is simple ...
One Background containing three fields and one button.
fld "Program" - This is a simple 1 line field, into which I
can enter a program name. This can be on
the same machine or across a net.
ie. ZONE:Macintosh Name:Program
fld "Command" - This is is a multi-line field where I can
enter a series of HyperTalk strings that will
get sent to the program one at a time.
ie. go stack "Addresses"
find string "Willie" in fld "FirstName"
fld "HomePhone"
fld "Result" - This is a mutli-line field that ends up with a
log of Events, Programs and Results. It is a
scrolling fld.
bg btn "Send Event" - has the following script
on mouseUp
set cursor to WATCH
put ", " into CM
put RETURN into CR
if fld "Program" is EMPTY then
answer program "Select a remote Program"
put it into fld "Program"
end if
put fld "Program" into aeProg
repeat with i = 1 to number of lines in fld "Command"
put line i of fld "Command" into aeCmnd
send aeCmnd to program aeProg
put the result into aeRslt
if aeRslt is EMPTY then
put aeCmnd &CM& aeProg &CM& "Success!" &CR before fld "Result"
else
put aeCmnd &CM& aeProg &CM& aeRslt &CR before fld "Result"
end if
end repeat
end mouseUp
Usage - I create a new card, click the button and a browser appears
that allows me to pick a ZONE, Host and Program. The resulting
program spec gets returned to the "Program" fld Then I
enter one or more HyperTalk lines in the "Command" fld and
click the button again and watch for the results.
I'm just tossing this out as a way to get started. I have NO
documentation on AppleEvents !what-so-ever! at this time. Perhaps
a few good AppleEvent hackers can share there power with us.

Subject: ATC Support Policy again
Like Jeoffrey, I disagree with Bill. We are a large state university and
we do have decent number of computer support people BUT none of them supports
Macintoshes. You may guess what they support -- IBM stuff. Indeed.
I have been filling the gap semi-officially for a couple of years.
I guess we are fortunate to have Apple Campus Rep in town, but he can't
provide support on a daily basis. Just in my department we have over
60 people using close to 50 Macs plus a bunch of other network devices.
I managed to convince the department to foot the bill for my AppleLink access,
but in the wake of recent budget cuts I may loose this. I even didn't hear
about ATC program until now, but I surely would like to participate. I agree
with others that Apple just benefits from us -- I doubt whether there would
even half as many Macs in my department if I wasn't here.

I have System 7.0 in both of my machines. The configurations:

MacPlus ('85) SE/30
4M RAM 5 MRAM

20M Jasmine drive 40M Apple Internal

THE PROBLEM:
Ever since upgrading to 7.0, I now get a sporadic "beep" from the system.
There is no detectable fixed time period, and this beep occurs during no
specific activity. In the office, it has 'beeped' while I was not doing
ANYTHING, i.e. inactive.
Realizing that this is very incomplete information, has anyone on the net any
idea what might be causing this? Perhaps something with AppleEvents manager?
I am just guessing! I could probably "live" with this mildly annoying sound,
but who wants to? Thanks in advance.

Hello netters,
in our research group we are conducting experiments with reaction time
measurements on Apple Macintosh computers. As we had problems in using the
Macintosh keyboard as response keys, we are looking for ways of connecting
external switches
to the Macintosh. We think this could be done either via the serial ports,
the SCSI port, a NuBus card or ADB-port. Has anybody already solved this problem
and
can help us? Perhaps it would be useful to connect the external switches to
an external millisecond timer to obviate the problems with milliseconds
timing on the Macintosh. The Macintosh would then just initiate the timing
and later collect response and response time.

Just for everybody's general information. There are now both

Subject: MaxAppleZoom
In INFO-MAC V9 #146 JMUELLER%PPL.ESNET@esnmrg.nersc.gov (Jiim Mueller)
asks about possible time bombs in MaxAppleZoom.
There has been a great deal of discussion of this on Compuserve. Almost
everybody who was running MaxAppleZoom found it dead one morning. Some
people have engaged in long experiments, moving video cards around and
such, which seems to change the date on which MaxAppleZoom dies. Others
still seem to be running it fine.
People who have looked at the code see no obvious time bombs, so speculation
is that this is some sort of latent bug. If you want a few months more
use out of this software, then move your video card to a higher
numbered slot. Or set the date back on your Mac. If you're paranoid,
and think that this is an intentional time bomb of some kind, you might
wonder what will happen next and take the software away from your
system until there's some definitive answer as to what's going.
As for sending in one's shareware check and asking the author, many, many
people report sending a check and never having had it cashed. And no
one seems to know where to find the author these days.
Unfortunately, it's incidents like this that gives shareware a very
bad name.

I work for an employer whose penny ante foolishness often drives me up

vouchers for shareware, we even pay IN ADVANCE (unheard of!) when we

Hi Fellow Netfolks!
First the good news: I am using a 2si with 6.07 and MacTCP, and am having
reasonable success using NCSA Telnet 2.3 (the BYU version that includes the FTP
client), LeeMail, and TheNews 1.4 for Telnet/FTP, SMTP mail, and news reading
respectively. I highly recommend the first two.
Now the bad news: (1) is anyone aware of a version of Telnet that
implements a VT200 series terminal emulation, or PD/shareware equiv. and (2) A
more stable PD/shareware news reader than TheNews? TheNews 1.4 crashes _a_lot_
on my system, and TheNews 2.0 is even worse - it will launch and then bring the
whole system down in flames. I also have NewsWatcher, but I haven't been able
to get it to work. Finally (3) does anyone know of PD/shareware NFS client
software for the Mac?

Capsule review of Termulator:
vt100 emulation is good but not perfect.
[seems to] lack a method for sending a "break."
scripting language is very nice and user interface is good.
zmodem works well for binary files, but I can't get it to convert

Subject: System 7.0 32 Bit Problem
Prior to yesterday, I thought only MS-DOS users had to confront memory
issues. However, yesterday I ran into a dandy with system 7.0
I expanded a IIci from 8 MB to 20 MB (4 - 4 MB in bank A and 4 - 1 MB
in bank B). The IIci is running System 7.0. With 32 bit addressing
turned on all is fine. The system takes up a little over 2 MB as
expected and there is plenty of application memory. If I turn off
the 32 Bit memory, the system grabs nearly 15 MB of my 20 MB in the
machine (well, maybe it doesn't grab it - the About This Macintosh
display just reports it). But clearly I run out of Application memory
after 5 MB is loaded.
This rather strange behavior is somewhat understandable. After all,
I believe that without 32 bit turned on, the system can only use
up 8 MB of memory. Apparently, it doesn't know what to do with the
other 12 MB so the system soaks it up. (I'm sure there is a more
technical explanation!).
Here's the problem. If I leave off 32 bit memory, I actually have
less memory available than if I dropped back to 8 MB RAM. If I leave
it on, I have to contend with applications that may not be 32 bit clean.
I'm curious as to the experience of others on the net who are running
in excess of 8 MB. Which applications, extentions, etc have given you
trouble? Lastly, is this weird soaking up of memory a normal part of
how the Mac deals with the situation or a problem that Apple must
address?
Comments are welcome. (By the way the same problem occurs on a IIsi when
loaded with 17 MB).

Subject: TidBITS issues, MaxAppleZoom questions
Couple of things:
First off, my apologies for forgetting the special characters to make
the TidBITS#68 snnouncement show up at the top of the last Info-Mac
posting.
Second, my apologies for the mangling of TidBITS#67, which Mark H.
Anbinder sent out for me. He has almost exactly the same paths and
mailers as I do (we have the same uucp host), so the fact that the
files were all mangled (lots of extra CR's in them - which when stripped
produced a good file) was really strange. Mark will be helping out
even more when I'm off the nets temporarily in late July and August
during our move to Seattle, so bear with him. He's doing a good job.
Third, would someone please summarize what's happened with MaxAppleZoom
for me? I use an Apple 13" color monitor on an SE/30, so I never used
it. I gather that it was shareware and expired on Friday 6/21. Had
anyone who sent in the shareware fee gotten a new version that works
correctly? You'll have to admit, it's an interesting shareware 'gotcha.'
Wait until the people have gotten really fond of the utility for a
few years and then pull out the rug. Of course, it's only excusable
if the people who paid really do get a working update. Please send
me email, and if you don't want to be cited in the TidBITS article,

and gives an error msg. You can fix this by using ResEdit to copy all of the
Resources from Word Finder and pasting them into your copy of Word. Once this
is done you remove Word Finder from you System Folder/Control Panel folder.
Word Finder will only show-up under the Apple when Word is executing in the
forground. This works for me and I have not seen any problems with it.
Don't blame me if you thrash your only copy of Word doing this!
(i.e. Use a copy!)
