Subject: [*] Genoa & TechPhonetic fonts
This posting contains a convertion into TrueType format of the Genoa
font. What follows is a StuffIt 1.5.1 archive containing the Genoa
PostScript font as it was originally received by me (bitmap, downloadable
PostScript file(s), and perhaps documentation and/or AFM files). I've
added a suitcase file which contains a TrueType version of the font,
created by FontMonger 1.0.
The PostScript version of this font is actually two fonts... GenoaRoman
and GenoaItalic. In the TrueType version, I've merged these into a single
font... Genoa... with both plain and italic styles.
Generic statement: I am not the author of this font; I'm simply
converting it as a service to the Mac community. I believe that it's
legitimate for me to convert and redistribute this font... if you feel
otherwise or have information to the contrary, please contact me via
email. If this is a shareware font, please honor the author's shareware
request if you use either the PostScript or TrueType version of the
font.

and subsequently received vendor information on a new Math/Stat/Graphics
application called InterPlot [Scientific Visions, Silver Spring Md - (301)
593-0317]. Features which have attracted my attention include built-in
error analysis options [including error propagation], X and Y error bar
display, FFT and linear/non-linear curve fitting to user-specified functions -
all for only $99.00. A demo version [ip.sea] has been posted to both AOL

Subject: Before you install system 7.0
I am now the happy user of the final international release, which was
presented by Apple Denmark the 6th may 1991 for the supporters at the
danish Apple Centers.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INSTALLING SYSTEM 7.0
If you are going to install system 7.0 on a system which already contains
an older system folder, then I recommend the following steps:
1. Backup your harddisk. If you do not do this, then follow the next steps
very closely.
2. Boot from a system 6.x floppy. Open the system folder on your harddisk.
3. Create a new folder in your system folder, and name it 'old finder'
4. Drag the file 'Finder' from the system folder on the harddisk to the
folder created in step 3.
5. Rename your system folder on the harddisk to 'old system folder'
-- At this point your harddisk does NOT contain a system which is recognizable
by a macintosh, and as such you will get a clean installation when you
install system 7. You can then move/copy all the stuff you still need to
the new system folder. Quite some INITs are incompatible, and the
DiskDoubler INIT makes the system crash when you click the menu bar.
SWITCHING BETWEEN 6.0 AND 7.0
This is no problem. Just create a folder named 'old finder' in the system 7.0
folder. When you want to start up under system 6.0 then just drag the finder
in the system 7.0 folder to the 'old finder' folder.
Then open the system 6.0 system folder, and the 'old finder' folder inside it.
Drag the Finder here to the system 6.0 system folder ('old system folder' if you
used same names as I suggested in the above steps). Reboot, and you are running
system 6.0
You should then update the system 6.0 LaserWriter driver to system 7.0 to
make sure that printers will not restart all the time.
Good luck in your installation.
I am not responsible for the consequences of anything you do, even if you
think I made you do it. But I know the above process worked fine for me with
all the versions from 6.03 to 7.0, and that a friend of mine spoiled his
system file by just hitting the Install button.

I too am interested in refilling my DeskWriter cartridges, I know there are

I recently installed the upgrade kit from HP, and I am still awaiting the

I have a related question about the DeskWriter: I understand that it is not
a PostScript printer but I thought I read somewhere that you can buy a
software program that would allow you to use PostScript fonts. Does anyone

You may be experiencing a new feature of the (some manager). If a text item is
too long to fit in its allotted space, the letterspacing is compressed a bit to
see if it will fit. If it will, it is dislpayed with the reduced letterspacing.
If not, it will be truncated and maybe displayed with ellipsis.
I'm not sure if this is it, but it might help...

That's the same gateway they've been "considering" for more than two
years :-( I wouldn't hold my breath (I'm told Genie's administration
is awaiting a clammoring of their paying customers <after all the gateway
will cost them something> for the service - economically sensible if

What GEnie wants is assurance of enough volume to be able to spread what
is largely a fixed cost (running a gateway) over enough uses and users
to keep the charge per mailing small enough to be acceptable. Most
marketers know that potential customers would LIKE products and services
to be available, the difficult part is figuring out how many of them
actually will PAY for them. If GEnie puts up a gateway they need some
confidence that there'll be a CONTINUING demand (and concommitant willingess
to pay).
If the volume going throught the Compu$erve gateway is a clue (last week
that gate got so overloaded it was 50K messages behind), there'll be
plenty of demand.

Mark, are you sure it is not just because Apple wrote their Laserwriter
driver that way? I mean, the only real trick to page size on a Laserwriter
is to start printing at the top left corner of the page. The only problem
here is that when you feed the paper into the Laserwriter, you place it
against the RIGHT side of the feed tray instead of the more logical LEFT
side. Now, since the Laserwriter driver wants to start printing at the top
left corner, it is up to the higher level software to set up the left
margin to start at the correct indent. Fortunately, many higher level
software packages will set this up for you, An old package I like is
SCOOP from Target Software that supports any user page size and sets up
lots of custom printing options for book interleaving, etc. What ever
happened to them anyway?
Alas, I ramble... Back to the original problem. The "TRICK" I always
use is to print "WIDE", "LANDSCAPE", I hope most readers know these terms
by now. This will work if your page length is less than 8 inches and your
page width is less than 11.5 inches. Then feed your paper in sideways.
This is one case were two wrongs make it right !-) I use this trick all the
time to print 5*7 cards from Foxbase for Labels in two columns. Works great!
Hope this helps...

Hi fellow LabView users or C-programmers out there,
We at the physics department of our university are doing some analysis on
speech with our students of the second grade. We are using now the LPC method
( Linear Predictive Coding ). After analysing and/of processing the signal,
we would like to send it back as a analog signal to a speaker.
Is there anybody who used the internal sound manager or sound synthesizers
of the MAC. I now you can make a C-language routine and use that in LabView,
bud I don't now how to program in C.
I looked in the Inside Mac V for the sound manager. So is there anybody who
has made some VI's for those routines like "SndPlay", "SndNewChannel",
"SndAddModifier", "SndDoCommand", "SndControl", etc., or VI's that control
those various synthesisers like ID 1 "note synthesizer", ID 3 "wave table

Subject: Token ring and ethernet
The recent postings on token ring vs. ethernet only begin to scratch the
surface of the networking problems likely to be encountered by Mac users.
MacTCP, for instance, does not support the standard Internet protocols
TCP/IP with Apple's tokentalk card (or any other T'ring card at the moment).
In practice this means that the encapsulated T'ring packets produced by
a dedicated mac running MacTCP with tokentalk can only be understood by
another Mac with the tokentalk card. Not very useful in the kind of
computing environment likely to be found at a university with an IBM
mainframe. To get on the token ring, a Mac must send tokentalk packets
to a router (Gator Box, etc.) which cost nearly $20,000. PCs with
a token card can get to the T'ring with nothing more than an inexpensive
bridge.
When the T'ring backbone goes through my building, our dean will
probably ask us what are the benefits of networking and how
much does it cost? The copper to fiber connection together with the
bridge is likely to be inexpensive enough to justify the cost since
we probably have 100 pc's in the building. How will I justify a gateway
or expensive router for a couple of Macs?
My only real hope for networking at the moment is that a) Apple will
improve MacTCP to support native token ring packets, or; b) Computer
Services will decide to go with ethernet instead of tokenring.
