Subject: Boomerang, Sys7, etc.
Two questions regarding System 7 problems.
1. For those of us who have neither Boomerang nor Super Boomerang but want
the latter, given all those who say they can't live without it, where can it
be gotten?
2. Is there any clock program that puts the time above the menu when using
Word4? On my Mac SE/30 under Sys7, Superclock 3.9 no longer shows up when
using Word4? Any suggestions?

The 1st Annual Conference on Scientific & Engineering Applications
of the Macintosh (SEAM 92) will be held January 15 to 17, 1992 at
the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco, California. The
technical conference will provide a central forum for discussions on
the use of Macintosh computers in all fields of science and
engineering. The meeting will focus on practical applications of
Macintosh technology in scientific and engineering environments,
and will serve to stimulate the interchange of real solutions to
current problems.
SEAM 92 will overlap one day with MacWorld Expo and will present
an opportunity for interaction with Apple Computer, vendors of
scientific and engineering software and hardware, and other, more
general users of the Macintosh. SEAM will also include its own
table-top exhibition where third-party developers will demonstrate
their latest products.
SEAM 92 is organized and sponsored by MacSciTech, the Macintosh
Scientific and Technical Users Association, an independent,
professional association whose charter is to enhance the effective
utilization of Macintosh computers within the scientific and
engineering communities. The conference is open to all scientific
and engineering users, but members of MacSciTech will receive a
registration discount.
Technical Sessions & Keynote:
The SEAM 92 technical program will consist of 2 and 1/2 days of
technical sessions and will include invited talks, contributed
papers, at least one poster session, short courses and panel
sessions. The plenary talk will feature Dr. Clifford Stoll, author of
RThe Cuckoo's Egg.S

The key is not to drag the SUITCASE file, but to open (double-click) the
suitcase and drag the DA out of it, into the "Apple Menu Items" folder which is
in the System Folder. You can also drag the DA anywhere else, and it will
create a stand-alone application (which I assume runs only under system 7.0)!
So I have my less frequently used DAs in a folder ("Other DAs") which has an
alias in the "Apple Menu Items" folder. NEAT!

Because you host is NOT on BITNET (note, that's BITftp). There's a copy
of the note from the folks at Princeton in the HELP-NET archives on
LISTSERV@TEMPLEVM. The short version is there was simply too much of
a traffic load from UUCP and other hosts not on the Internet proper for
Princeton and BITNET to continue to underwrite the cost (what appears to
be "free" costs somebody).
>Does anybody know of an alternative e-mail oriented server?
Pardon? I'm getting old, I guess. I regarded the advent of BITFTP (only
2 or 3 years ago) as nothing short of astonishing (also that a PRIVATELY
funded institution would underwrite it -- the inevitable was entirely
predictable). I'm almost certain Princeton would be happy to provide
the code at no charge to any "Daddy Warbucks" sufficiently well heeled
to pick up the tab.
Our institution is about to connect to the Internet proper. I sit on the
relevant committeess and, as a consequence, know that the cost of the
Internet is about 60 (yes, SIXTY) times the cost of BITNET. The Internet
is faster and provides more service (ftp, telnet) and we can no longer live
without it, but what you're asking for ain't cheap. The solution is hard
currency, nothing less.
BTW the folks at Princeton are VERY UNHAPPY about cutting off the service,
but you can't repeal or ignore economic reality. They had no choice; I'll
be happy to supply an address where you can send compensation for the
services already consumed to date (if EVERYONE pays up, you might expect
service to be restored).

Two partitions really aren't necessary, but now that you have them, the
simple answer is the one that works for multiple system folders in a
single partition (or on multiple volumes, however...). Download:
System-Switcher-11.hqx from your favorite info-mac (sumex-aim, wuarchive,
ricevm1, MACSERVE's -- all the usual suspects :-) It'll work and you'll
like it MUCH better than the Startup cdev (which I long ago pitched).
Is there an echo in here (haven't I heard about System Switcher at LEAST
five times in the last 10 days? not including the replies saying, "you
know you're right; it works terrific!)?

Subject: HyperCard 2.1 Network Communication?
I am trying to get multiple HyperCard 2.1 stacks to talk to each other by
passing events via the network. If anyone has had any luck with this type
of program or knows where I could get some more information I would love
to hear from you.
I have been running HyperCard 2.1 under System 7 for about a week now and
can't figure out how to use the network features. The documentation that
comes with the 7.0 Personal Upgrade is introductory at best and does not
address any of the new features. However, with ResEdit 2.1 and a few other
vague "hints" that I have come some clues have been found.
1) If file-sharing is on, a command like
put the programs in field "FieldName"
will display a list of active applications much like ProcDoggie or the
Application menu.
2) High-level messages can be sent between active programs with SEND.
ex: send "YourMessage" to program TeachText
or, send "OtherMessage" to "HyperCard"
3) Also appleEvents can be dealt with using familiar HyperTalk constructs
on appleEvent myString
put myString
beep
end appleEvent
4) Also I was sent some mail tempting me to try these commands
answer program "myPrompt"
reply error "myErrorMessage"
request appleevent data
set the itemDelimiter to colon
But, I have not been able to get a HC21 stack on one machine to be able to
control a HC21 stack on another machine across the network. I am trying
some of the events from Inside Macintosh VI against other programs to see
if I can learn anything that way. If any solid information is out there
and available I would love to see it.

Subject: I/O error with Macwrite II
A user came to me today with a rather important file which he could not
open. He had a data disk containing only five files, all of which were
created with Macwrite II. He is able to open all of the files except one,
which of course is the only one he really needs to complete the last course
of his college career. When we attempt to open the file it gives an error:
I/O error. Unable to read or write to disk. The file is 125k in size. I
got out my box of utilities and repair disks and did everything I could think
of and had no luck. Norton Disk Doctor for Macintosh came up with two minor
errors near the end of the run, but said they were successfully fixed. I tried
to open it again and got the same results. Next I did a bit copy to a new disk
and used Mactools to verify the file. I came up with the following error:
-36 at block offset 251. This came up two more times, at block offsets 252
and 253 also. I also used SUM II on it to try to recover the file. Initially,
this seemed to work, but error -127 appeared just as I thought the file was
going to open. I do not have a lot of experience with handling problems of
this nature, but I do have several utility and repair programs available to
me for attempting to remedy situations such as this. If anyone has experience
with a problem similar to this and could send some useful information for
recovering all or part of the damaged file, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Shareware
Just to talk about something besides System 7... ;^)
I disagree with Chuq about people using Boomerang without paying for it. As a
Shareware author (I have received more checks than 5) I don't think you should
even consider releasing something as Shareware without agreeing that people
can and will use it without paying. This is called an understanding of human
nature. There are two ways to "combat" this and get people to send in your
money. The first is upgrades, a proven technique, while the other is prayer,
and all I can say is that it hasn't worked for me. ;^)
I see Shareware as an attempt to justify your need to hack and to perhaps
altruistically provide something to this electronic community of which we all
belong. If I am to be viewed by others as merely a consumer to be plundered,
then I'm not sure I want to play here anymore.
I'm an old Boomerang beta tester and I still prefer an old beta that replaces
the SICN next to the volume name in the file boxes sort like a mini-Facade. I
never liked that Hiro took that out, and I really don't like SuperBoomerang.
Give me back the little popup! It would pop right up at the thing I used
last, be it a file or folder. I get none of that with SuperBoomerang. Of
course, none of this has anything to do with the Shareware issue.
Anyone who expects people to not use a Shareware product is both deluding
themselves and making criminals. Giving something away for free and then
demanding payment is against the law in most states. Making unenforceable
laws is unethical and bad news, and I think _demanding_ money for Shareware is
akin to this. You are a guest in someone's computer and you should be polite
and ask, not demand. It just rankles me to get these dialogs boxes that spout
on like I am doing now. Sorry.
Final words, if you have a Shareware program that you want to sell, then sell
the damn thing. If you want to give it away, do it as Shareware. You can
make money on it, but you have to be good. I think anyone who creates decent
Shareware deserves everything they can get, plus some. I just don't think
they have the right to demand it. I would be making millions on my Shareware
if there weren't so many pirates out there among you! ;^) It sounds like a
stupid argument to me too.

Subject: Summary on Ram Checker
I posted a note asking for a program to test memory. I had mentioned
that ProVue's ram-checker (Archived as .../util/ram-checker.hqx) had
only tested the application heap. I was not thinking, nor did I
take the time to read the instructions in the letter attached to the
hqx file (What! read instructions,...Me? :-) ). Anyway several
people noted that if the ProVue Ram Checker is run under Finder
that it can test most of the memory (I would reason to guess that
it doesn't test memory to which the system is loaded on, but what
do you expect for nothing...). If it is run under system 7. I
guess you could give it a really big application size (and turn
VM off) (I havn't tried it.)
Anyway, I wasn't able to find a problem with the SIMM's I had.
Maybe they just by coincidence weren't properly seated in their
sockets (but enough to make them pass the system startup test).
Because I got no errors, I don't know if this memory tester would have
told me which SIMM was bad or not, but I guess it beats random crashes.
No other program was mentioned.
Thanks to all who responded.

Subject: SunDesk to system 7
SunDesk is a shareware program. Immedium Design (which markets this in the
U.S.) has a complete set of icons for system 7--and this is available on
America Online. I believe that there are also some notes on adding the color
icons to individual applications.
One last note: Immedium Design is slated to release a new utility which will
automate this process and make it unnecessary to use ResEdit for this type
of bulk resource job.
To get the color icons (I assume that you mean the ic18/ic14's from your
SunDesk file) into your system 7 desktop, you need to use ResEdit to copy the
ic14/ic18's from the single file and then paste them into the individual
applications to which they belong. Renumber your resources to match the
ICN#'s in the apps. You can also create the small b/w and color icons
with ResEdit 2.1 by dragging the large icons into the small icon boxes. You
will need to edit these somewhat for a more pleasing effect. If you have
files in the cicn format, get a copy of Explode Cicn!, available through this
FTP (I think).
One other way you can get instant color is to get a document with bundle info
for particular applications. One such freeware version is called "Icon Vaults."
Icon Vaults have the same info as the apps do, and keep the color icons
separate from the actual application. This way, when you have to replace your
application, you won't have to reinstall color icons with ResEdit.
(I use "the same info" loosely, of course--I mean a file ref, a bundle, an
owner resource, and the icons--list, ic18, ic14, sicn, etc.) Set the Bundle
option in the doc if you're starting from scratch.
If there's any interest, I'll upload a sample.

HELLLLLP!!!
It was just recently I seriously thought about Upgrading my "simple"
Macintosh SE to use System 7. Knowing that I Could get it from Ftp.apple.com I
promptly went into the phase of finding info on the System. I was rather
shocked! Please, kind people, help me to clear up a few misconseptions (?) I
have about System 7:
A) If a owner of a "Lower" Macintosh (Classic,Plus,SE,SE/30,LC) is to use
System 7, they will not gain the "Virtual Memory" and "32-Bit addressing"
features of System 7. It takes 2 megs of RAM to *think* of running
System 7, so a Macintosh Classic (expanded) and a Mac SE, would have 2
of it's 4 maximum megs of RAM tied up in the system alone. Am I Correct?
B) If this is true, this would not serve to better the machine, but rather
to hurt the preformance of the Macintosh.
C) With this advent of System 7, new programs which use the "Virtual Memory"
option of System 7, would not be able to run these programs. Wouldn't
that be really bad in light of Apple's slogan, that "It does not matter
which Macintosh you get, because a Macintosh is a Macintosh.." It seems
like that idea would be blown out of the water then. Does anybody think
that the "New" versions would be very "downward" Compatible with respect
to a system's capabilities?

everything seems dandy. Trouble is, the dialog box isn't coming up! If I tell
the XCMD to beep, I get a beep, but no dialog box. This XCMD fits my needs
perfectly so i'd really like to be able to use it.
What am I doing wrong? I'm new to this, so forgive me if this is a FAQ.
The details: System 6.0.7, HyperCard 2.0, Mac Classic 4/40. This problem
occurs both under Finder and MultiFinder.
Please respond directly to me. Thanks in advance!

Wow, not only was Aladdin (Stuffit Deluxe) the first to respond to my flurry
of "Please send me sys7 compatibility upgrade info" letters, they sent me the
latest version *free*! No $5 handling fee, even!
Now that's what I call service!
