Subject: [*] DeSEA 1.0
Enclosed is a utility that I've written to convert self-extracting
archives to their non-self-extracting cousins. Currently,
DeSEA is configured to recognize Compact Pro and StuffIt SEA archives.
DeSEA will convert either single files, or an entire directory,
by first stripping the resource file, changing the type/creator,
clearing the finder flags, and renaming the file.
This should be especially useful to those Sysops who have users
uploading .sea files or to those who routinely download archives
>From one site and forward them to another. DeSEA is freeware.
Compact Pro archive.
Enjoy!

Subject: [*] Diamonds 1.5
Finally here is my promised version 1.5 of Diamonds.
I've inclued all announced stuff. I've also rewritten a
large part of the game, so now it should work on most color
Macs. Minimal Configuration : 2MB Ram, 4-Bit Color Video and
at least 640*480 screen resolution.
I have also included a Level Mover, so that all those people
who got the Level Editor can publish their new levels.
When I've got enough Shareware fees, I will also publish the
Editor as public Domain! So keep on sending me checks or cash!

Subject: 2 FileMaker Pro questions
>X-Envelope-To: INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU
>X-Vms-To: MAC
Lausanne, Switzerland, April 27, 91, 10:10pm
Hi Mac Info Netters,
I have 2 questions about FileMaker Pro...
I'm actually importing Reflex databases from the PC world into FileMaker
databases. The Import function does a good work. But, I would like to know
2 things...
1) I'm appending 3 databases into 1. So I have names repeated in
my database list. I have added, in FileMaker, a field containing
the origin of each name: 3 boxes where I click in, named "File 1", "File 2"
and "File 3".
For example, if a person was in File1 and in File3, I'll have it twice,
in two separate records, one with the Box "File1" marked on and the other
one with the Box "File 3" marked on. I would like to know if it is
possible to copy the information of the second record into the first in
order to obtain only one record with that person, and both "File 1" and
"File 3" boxes marked on ?
Example:
Jordi Steve xFile 1 oFile 2 oFile 3
Jordi Steve oFile 1 oFile 2 xFile 3
must give
Jordi Steve xFile 1 oFile2 xFile 3
(where x is a marked box)
2) I also have a field named "Record number". I only put here the number
of the record. But, is it possible to renumber it automaticly from the
1st to the last one with a step of 1 (or 2, 10, ... ) ???
I would like to use this when sorting the records by name. As a
result of the sort, the "record number" fields are not sorted anymore !
Thanks for excusing me the way I speak English (I'm very tired!), and thanks
too for any help.
And remember: Don't Worry, Be Apple !

Hi again netters,
I would like to know if it is possible, in Word 4.0 to force the
speller to ALWAYS suggest words ? I know there is such an option
in Word for Windows (on PC), but can we do the same in Word 4.0?
It is boring to click on the button each time we want a suggestion...

Subject: Apple ][e card for the LC -- disappointing?
The Apple ][e cards to go into the LC have finally shipped, so I took a
look at the instruction manual that comes with it to see how it was going
to solve my problem of porting my Apple ][e world onto my mac. I was
disappointed to see, however, that the manual says *nothing* about the
much vaunted sharing of the LC's hard disk: the manual speaks only in
terms of your having inside your LC an Apple ][ that you can run off
floppies.
If you are like me, this is going to help you not at all. I've got literally
years of work on a hard disk from my Apple ][ days, and am no longer set up
to run off floppies at all. If I can't get my whole Apple ][ world onto my
LC's hard disk, the Apple ][ card is pointless: I may as well just try to
get the textfiles onto the LC with Apple File Exchange and treat them as Mac
files (just what I intend to do).
Since there was a thread about Apple ][ --> mac transfer running on this net
some while ago, I thought I ought to mention this little bummer. It may be,
in fact, that there *is* a way to partition the hard disk so the Apple ][e
card can share it with the mac, but the manual doesn't mention it, and on
the strength of that I see no reason, after all, to buy one.
The usual disclaimer: this is just my stupid opinion, subject to correction at
any time by those wiser than I. matt neuburg = neuburg@campus.swarthmore.edu

Subject: cleaning floppy drive heads in public lab
Hello netters,
I haven't seen this kind of question up here before, so I don't feel too guilty
for asking. Are any of you using any kind of cleaner floppy with solvents
to clean floppy drive read/write heads on a routine basis? Are these kind of
cleaners to be trusted? Do they ruin heads?
If this kind of disk is good for cleaning heads, can you recommend good brands
to look at?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Microphone II Confusion. $65 or $85
Concerning my previous note a few weeks ago about Microphone II being offered
for $65, well not quite. I was told that over the phone, but when I later
talked to the sales rep, he stated that $65 was for Universities Computer
not us regular students. He did state that I could have the software sent to
me directly for $85 plus shipping. This is still under dealer cost and
allows you to upgrade for free to 4.0 in august. Also this is a full standard
working copy, not limited. I think this is a wonderful deal and I plan on
pursuing it as soon as possible.
Sorry about the confusion.

Subject: Software for pre-school age - Summary
Howdy again, all.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for help in locating
software suitable for use by a pre-school age child. I have included a
summary of the responses I received below. A couple of notes:
1] The software available on the net seems to come from the
hypercard stack directory at sumex. I tried to get Puz'lings
via FTP and then a kermit download to my Mac, and something
went wrong. The Mac file I ended up with would not unstuff
due to file corruption. Has anyone successfully downloaded
this stack? I'm guessing I did something wrong somewhere in
the transfer.
2] My 5 year old enjoys playing with Superpaint and a game I
found on sumex-aim, Toxic Ravene.
Happy Macing.

Subject: Standard ReadMe documents, another plea, MountImage
I download MountImage, but when I un-stuffed it I found the ReadMe
<bullet> MountImage file was of type SIMA and creator GEOL. Not even
QUILL can read it. So how am I supposed to read the stuff that is so
crucially important it's put in the ReadMe document?
I add my voice to the chorus of requests that all ReadMe documents be
plain ASCII TEXT (I don't care what creator since I can patch that or
manually select the file from inside any TEXT editor), and that all
regular documentation be in something that can be read by some freeware
program (i.e. somebody should publish the data representation of Microsoft
Word and MacWrite so that somebody else can easily write a WordReadonly
program and a MacWriteReadonly program and make them generally available;
and SIMU/GEOL etc. shouldn't be used at all for documentation).

Subject: StyleWriter, Mandelbrot, Book Printing
I would appreciate any help on the following:
1) Has anyone heard of a way to use non-water-soluble ink cartridges
with the StyleWriter. I remember people going around the DeskWriter
problem by injecting ink into the used cartridges. Is there any
solution to this problem?
2) There used to be a program called Mandelbrot in the archives, which
allowed for exploration of that set. It had fairly extsenive online
help and excellent color picking tools. I believe it was shareware
$35. I've looked in several archives, including the one here at
Brown and it seem to have been erased everywhere I looked. How can
I get it?
3) I need to print pages onto paper which will later be bound into a book.
I therefore need a way to print pages, not in their sequential order,
but in such a way that by binding them folio, they will appear in their
sequential order. Is anyone getting me? For example, a book bound with
2 full letter sheets will have 8 pages, 2 on the inside of each sheet
and 2 on the outside (one page per half piece of paper per side).
One paper will be numbered 2,7,1,8 and the second paper will be numbered
3,4,5,6. Take a look at a bound hard cover book to see what I mean.
So, my question is: What reasonably priced software/hardware combo
will allow me to do this.
Any help would and will be appreciated. Thank you, Paul Devalier PAD@BROWNVM

A/UX has a slip implementation....works fine for telnet and ftp, but

Check out the program MacNet which is available on the archives at

This program uses an implementation of the SLFP protocol for FTPing, not
SLIP. If they're totally irrelevant, then please ignore my ranting. :)

Subject: SLIP for Mac
At MIT I, as a client, use a SLIP implementation to access our POP3 mail
server via telephone. I don't know the details concerning distribution
rights, and I don't know for sure whether it works for other network
applications, but would guess that this is the case.
You should contact the network services group at information systems to
get more info about this software. Try (617) 253-4101 (their usual help
line). I'm pretty sure that SLIP is sold very cheaply as a component of
a communications toolkit within MIT, and it may be available via
anonymous ftp at a suitable network server (with a name something like
net-serve.mit.edu) but I can't give any details now because I don't have
that info at hand here at home. If you want to access this software,
and can get no help from the phone connection, send me a note and I will
try to help you further.

The only one I have heard of is in TCP/Connect II (or something like that) from
Intercon Systems. It has many parts, including mail, news, telnet, ftp, etc.
all in internet network form, and it also comes with SLIP capabilites. The
price is in the multiple-hundred-dollar range, but I believe that you can get
only the parts you need for less than the package price.
If you hear of any other alternatives, let me know if you would. Thanks.

Subject: System 7.0 Upgrades
Just wanted to vent a frustration. System 7.0 is supposed to be released May 13
>From what I've read in MacWeek. Of course, Apple is saying nothing. Here it is,
almost the end of April, less than three weeks from the expected release date,
and Apple still is giving no information regarding upgrades, pricing,
availability, etc. Even if System 7.0FC is still too buggy to release by that
date, and things are delayed until June (...or July...or 1992...), Apple should
decide immediately how upgrades are to be handled, and get the information to
dealers, service providers, and - perhaps far more importantly - end users and
system managers. I've called Apple's Customer Assistance number, only to be told
that the only information that Apple has released regarding System 7.0 is that it
will be released during the first half of 1991, and that pricing and availability
information will be released when the release date is determined, with shipping
shortly thereafter.
As the unofficial manager of a small (~20) Macintosh network -- not alot of 'em,
but enough -- I need to be able to plan purchasing and installing the upgrades
for budgeting both money and time. Apple's delay in getting such very important
information to the people who need it shows just how little they really care
about customer service. MacWeek has claimed that the individual upgrade price
(which, by the license included in Apple's more recent System software, can only
be used on one unit, and cannot be copied except for backup purposes) is supposed
to be $99 (up from their original report of $49), with the site-license upgrade
kit, which allows unlimited copies of the software at the site, should run $250
to $350. This group upgrade kit reportedly (from the original MacWeek story) will
ship only on CD-ROM. If this is the case, I need to know so that I can purchase a
CD-ROM drive, and expect to buy the group upgrade. Even if not, I still need to
know what is coming, when, and what it will cost.
Apple seems to believe that secrecy is their best weapon. Not a very effective
weapon when you consider the number of sites planning to hold off on System 7.0
until next year. True, many are waiting to see how well it works, to plan
training for the new System, and so forth. But would as many be waiting if Apple
had been willing to give out more information sooner? Probably, but would they be
waiting quite as long?
Sorry, I've been ranting awhile here. If you think Apple should release upgrade
and shipping information now, you should call the Apple Customer Assistance
Center at 1-800-776-2333 and tell them to pass a message on up the line stating
your dissatisfaction with Apple's lack of information on this very important
subject. If you work at Apple, how about getting the OK from on high to send in
an official or semi-official statement on the topic? If anyone has any
information at all, please respond to me or to the net.
Thanks for putting up with this...

Subject: Zaum Gadget problem
I downloaded "Zaum Gadget" but can't get it to work. When I try to
press any of the three buttons "Zaum Bother," "Zaum Wound," or "Zaum
Sound" I get the message "That tool is not available at the current
user level," and when I quit HyperCard (the only way to exit from the
stack that I have found), I get the message "Can't find menu item
'compact stack'." What--if anything--am I doing wrong? I'm using
HyperCard 2.0.

Open the MacPaint document with any paint program that supports
color and colorize it. All versions of SuperPaint do this, for
example.
