This is the latest version of Clipboard Magician, a DA that let you look at
the content of the scrap and manipulate it in many different ways. This new
version includes FKEYs that would let you use the function directly from

If you use this StartupScreen, please send me some
e-mail or s-mail. My kids would get a kick if I
got some mail from the other side of the world.
This is a startupscreen of my Macintosh Plus taken with a MacVideo
adapter.
It is really a pretty cool picture, not just a Mac on a table,
but a perspective with a neat background and good foreground interest.
It is perfect for a startupscreen for a compact Mac (especially
a Plus). There are several other good startupscreens in the
archives, I like art/cow the best.

This HyperCard 2.0 stack is used to keep scientific reference database
including topical file, title, author, affliiation, reference, and notes.
It has full search capabilities for finding, cross referencing, retrieving,
listing, and printing information in any of the above fields. It is an
updated version of a SUMEX posting scientific-references.hqx, and has
several new capabilities. The new features are: 1. Cross referencing
enables you to search a key word or topic, then further narrow your search
by restricting a second search to the already selected entries; 2. Listing
and printing the search.

AccessPC Review
AccessPC is a single purpose utility that sits in the
background and allows you to mount MS-DOS disks on the
Macintosh desktop (assuming of course, that you have a
drive that can read and write MS-DOS disks). AccessPC
is about as transparent as possible and is much faster
than DOS Mounter 1.0. You even get the extra bonus of
being able to mount SoftPC hard disk documents as
volumes, which makes for much easier transfer of files
in and out.

Subject: [*] Translate 1.0b1
Here is Translate 1.0b1, a dcmd (MacsBug external command), that
displays the translation tree used by the Paged Memory Management
Unit (PMMU) for a given virtual address.
It is in fact an emulation of the coprocessor instruction PTEST, but
gives much more information. Each level of table search is displayed,
with the according flags (Used, Modified, and so on).
The binhex file is a Stuffit (1.5) archive which contains the dcmd
(just paste it in the Debugger's Prefs file with ResEdit) and a small
100% text documentation created by MPW. Any text reader or word processor
should be able to read it.
I welcome all comments about this dcmd : it is now beta 1, and while
all the algorithm of translation is implemented, the output is not
perfect, mostly because my system cannot test every possible case. It
works fine with System 7.0b4 virtual memory on a MC68030. I would like
to know if it works with Virtual, or on a MC68851.

Subject: Dirty Rotten ROMs, T-shirts, 240 volts.
The current MacWeek has the headline "Dirty-ROM Mac owners clamor for
Aplle cleanup", and according to the article, there have been weeks of
on-line discussion on Internet about why Apple should make a clean-ROM
upgrade available to IIcx, IIx and SE/30 owners (for < $200). I seem to
have missed this discussion and the "open letter" that it resulted in.
So far the letter has 300 signatures, which doesn't seem like a lot. Anyone
know how info-mac subscribers can add their 2 cents worth?
The same MacWeek says that System 7 T-shirts are being issued to people
invited to the May 13 rollout. How can "the rest of us" get our hands on
a System 7 T-shirt?
Something completely different: the LC has an international power supply,
which means it can run off 220 volts. When I take it to the UK this summer,
does this mean that all I have to do is get a Brit cable, plug it in and
switch it on? Or are their thingmyjigs inside which have to be appeased
before feeding the machine the stronger brew?

Reply to: Ethernet vs Token Ring
The following person (liane@sbu.ufrgs.anrs.br) needs arguements as to why they
should choose either ethernet or token ring. I sent all the reasons why I
would choose one vs the other (yes token ring does have a place in the world
but for them I figure ethernet is the best choice.) Does anyone know of
articles in magazines that compare the two. Can anyone provide additional
comparisions for them? Without major documentation or good arguements, the
IBM heavy sell to upper management is probably going to win out.
I don't think they see info-mac. If anyone has something they can use, please
e-mail them directly at:

BTW: I have no idea whether their users are on Unix boxes, Macs, PCs, etc but

Note:
Dear Kee
Thank you for your comments on the token-ring x ethernet dilema. I do prefer
ethernet also but there some guys from IBM making a lot of pressure in order
to let us select token-ring. The director of Data Processing Center would like
to follow what IBM reccomends. The LAN users, the engeneering dept, wish
ethernet, so if we find some papers, articles, comparing both it will help us
to argue against token-ring. I know that there are some comparations showing
that when the traffic on LAN is lower than 30% of the total capacity, the
probability of collisiion is very low and in this case, ethernet is certainly
better than token-ring because it is not necessary to wait for the token.
Unfortunately I was not able to find such kind of paper and have asked helped

Subject: How about an Info-Mac bibliography?
Dear Netters and Moderators:
It seems that I frequently find myself wanting to learn about some new aspects
of computerdom which seem too mundane to ask of all you busy people - i.e., I'm
afraid of sounding like an idiot. A lot of the basic information has got to be
available in books; I have seen many referred to on this list. The problem is,
when I see the references, I am usually not aware that I will want to use the
source in the future for some project I haven't even thought of yet. I suspect
that there are other folks in this situation too. So here is an idea:
Why not have an info-mac *bibliography* on the archives? A listing of books,
and maybe people's comments/reviews, as well as useful information on
availability and price. What do you think?
Now for the really tricky part, I am going to put my time where my mouth is: I
am prepared to put some effort into making this happen, starting with some
discussion to figure out if I have the skills and resources and could devote
the necessary time to make it an ongoing project.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks,

Subject: HyperCard won't open stacks
Greetings,
I am having a recurring problem with HyperCard 2.0v2 running under MultiFinder
6.0.7 in a 2000K heap on a Mac IIcx with 8MB of RAM and an 80MB internal
Quantum drive. I have one stack that is always open in a small window. Every
once in a while (2 or 3 days) I can't open any other stacks. I can't go home,
nor can I open other stacks. Checking in the About the Finder... box I see that
HyperCard is only using about half of it's (generous) allocation. The HeapSpace
function returns over 1MB (e.g. 1385748 today). I don't have many other files
open in other applications, I've certainly had more open without this problem.
Does anyone have any clues? When I quit and launch HyperCard again, the problem
is gone.

This is an AppleLink image file, readable by AppleLink 5.0 or above. It is

Subject: PSMathGraphsII for math diagrams
Please include in comp.sys.mac.digest. Thank you.
-----
I recently purchased the program PSMathGraphsII for the Macintosh
for preparing mathematical plots and diagrams for my classes and papers.
I saw a demo of the program at the meeting of the American Math Society
in San Francisco in January and it has just been officially released
within the past month.
PSMathGraphsII is described by its creator as "an easy to use program
for preparing accurate, high quality mathematical and scientific type
diagrams." To use it you first specify a layout size for the diagram.
You can then specify what should be done with the x and y axis, whether
tick marks should be drawn, if numerals should be placed along the axes
and at which tick marks. You can then plot graphs of functions, graphs
of polar coordinate functions, graphs of parametrized curves, direction
fields, vector fields, and histograms. You can combine as many of these
objects as you need. You can also create diagrams with shaded regions
between a curve and the x axis or between two curves, or inside a
polygon. You can specify points to plot along a graph or draw a
tangent line at a specified point. All objects can be drawn with
different colors or gray scales if you want, or at different line
widths. The program will also draw solution curves to differential
equations and to autonomous 2x2 systems of differential equations.
A postscript language description of the diagram is generated when you
save a file or copy the drawing to the clipboard. You can paste the
diagram into a word processor and have it print using the postscript
code for very nice looking output. You can also save the file in EPS
form or Adobe Illustrator form, in which case you can then fine tune
the diagram or edit it using Illustrator or Freehand. I haven't tried
this latter option since I don't own Adobe Illustrator, but apparently
many of the beta testers used the program in just this way to produce
diagrams for textbooks. I've been using it with Word to produce
diagrams for my exams, homework problems, and class notes.
While many of these same objects could also be drawn using a program
like Mathematica, this program only costs $79.99 and is very easy to
use. The program is available from MaryAnn Software, 53 Los Pinos,
Nicasio, CA 94946. Telephone is 415-662-2486. The programmer's name is
John Jacob. I believe a demo disk is available for about $5 which can
be applied to the purchase price. If you call or write, tell John you
read about the program on Usenet.
If you have questions about the program, please email them to me
at riddle@mathcs.emory.edu and I will try to answer as best I can.
Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in this program and only met
John Jacob for 15 minutes at the math meeting in January. I have been a
satisfied user of the program, however, and would like to see John
succeed in this venture so that he will be able to continue adding new
features to the program.

Subject: Serious HyperCard Problem.
My equipment is a IIci with 4 Megs, an 80 meg hard drive using the built
in color. I am writting scripts for a National Instruments IEEE-488 board
that occupies one of the slots. I am using ScriptEdit to do all editing and
using System 6.0.7.
My problem is that when I try to open the stack I have been working on
it either starts to open and returns to the finder, or displays a message box
saying "Can't open stack "name". File is busy." The only way out is either the
OK button presented or when that is locked out, restarting. When I press the OK
button I either go to the finder or home card. There seems to be no pattern.
I have been getting some strange bomb boxs lately, but attributed it
to buggy scripts. The error messages are "Coproccessor not installed", "Illegal
Instruction" or "Heap collision with Stack."
I have run Disinfectent 2.4 and found nothing. Norton Tools and
MacTools both say the file and harddrive is fine. I have tried to reinstall
Hypercard, but the error still happens. I have also tried to go back to 2.0,
but, still errors.
I have also tried to edit the stack script from the home card, but I get
"Can't open Script editor." This remote editing works on other stacks. I have
tried this with and without ScriptEdit.
Is there anyway to say this stack? If anyone has ANY insight into this
please respond directly to me as soon as possible!!! This stack is my grade for
a directed study that I need to graduate.

Since TrueType does not do text rotation, this is a function of your
application, not the StyleWriter driver or TrueType. If applications wish to
rotate TrueType text, they may do so, but they'll have to be aware that with
high-resolution printers, the text must be rotated after it is rendered at
printer resolution. Your application is copying a screen-resolution bitmap of
the previously rotated text onto the page being imaged.

Subject: VGA for SI
There has been a good deal of conversation here regarding VGA monitors
for use with the LC. In this light, does anybody have any
knowledge/comments/experience with regard to VGA compatibility with
the SI? Would I need to buy a special video card to display 256
colors? Also, would it be significantly slower if I were to
substitute, say, an 13" VGA for the Apple 13" color monitor? Finally,
would I still get WYSIWYG?
Thanks very much. E-mail replies are preferred; I will summarize to
the net to reduce bboard traffic.

Subject: Wallpaper for the Mind on Mac+/SE
Unfortunatly somebody discovered the recently posted Wallpaper for the Mind
(v 1.1) doesn't run on the Mac Plus or SE running pre-7.0 software. If you
find it dies with an undefined trap (Bomb #12) on these machines, try the
following patch:
Using a tool such as Fedit, search for the hex number A05D (there's only
one of them). Change this to 4E71.
(Or better yet, upgrade to 7.0! : ))
Cheers,
jp

Hi,
I would greatly appreciate any comments pro or con from anyone
who has either a RasterOps ColorCAD #228 or a Radius #0031/#0242 or #0040
8-bit color display system for the Mac II, as we (Univ. of Colorado) are
trying to decide which of the two to purchase. Any general comments about
the RasterOps or Radius companies, product reliability/user support are
also welcome. Thanks very much.
