Subject: Administrivia
Well, Bill is gone for a week, and I have the digest all to my self. What
sort of mischief can I come up with? Well, none I guess, but I do have an
announcement. I have taken a new job, so my email address will be changing.
That means all my software will be wrong. It may also mean that I will no
longer be able to help Bill. His request for a co-moderator is sincere.
Info-Mac isn't a lot of work, although I sleeze by without doing many
archives, which is only a few repeated script invocations.
I took over when there was no one to do anything. I didn't do nearly as well
as Bill is doing now, but I was there. The ultimate reason I started
moderating Info-Mac was because I couldn't be the techno-stud that I am (whoa!
ego check limit exceeded. Resume.) without it. With me gone, there will be no
one to take over if Bill is suddenly hit by a stray Lotto winner.
Ask yourself, where would my Macintosh skills and knowledge be without
Info-Mac?
I didn't like the answer that I got when I found out what it was like with no
Info-Mac. I volunteered. Now someone else needs to volunteer.
The work is simple. You just just use the mail editor to put a bunch of
messages into a file, then run a program which munges them. Finally, you type
the sendmail command. Tough stuff. There are a couple more commands if you
are going to archive a file. It's not hard. In addition, you get the
Info-Mac password, which is a lot better than trying to FTP in as anonymous.
So volunteer, please.
OK, enough begging. Now for the good news. I am joining Apple's System 7
effort by contracting to them as the AppleEvents coordinator. It is a
renewable six-month position, which means I could be tossed, extended, or
bought. It's a foot in the door, y'knowhatimean? As AppleEvents coordinator,
I will be moderating the creation of AppleScript's roots. Sounds like fun to
me.
So I will probably be pugh@apple.com sometime in the future, but that's only a
guess and not to be construed as Gospel. I don't really recall reading the
Book of Jon in the Bible(tm) anyway.
Enough rambling. I hope to remain on the net somehow. If not, it's been fun.
If so, I'll see ya tomorrow. I start at Apple on the 2nd. Wish me luck.

Subject: [*] Digit factory
This is a free HyperCard 1.2 stack created by Mike Miskowski, editor
of MaLLife magazine and Bomb Shelter Props. It's similar to Miekal
And's Zaum Gadget stack, which I am also uploading, but reflects
Miskowski's fascination with consumer machine culture. It's fun to
play around with and as a demonstration of what you can do with
HyperCard.
Note: Stack is almost 800K, and should be run off a hard drive for
the sounds to play correctly.

If you had been terminated, how did you have access to the
free area? For your information, though, the 800 number is
in the help files, which you can get at through the "Help..."
Menu under the Apple.

As I understand it, you have to pay to have your 800 number
listed there, and 800 numbers are expensive enough as it
is.

Hasn't been my experience or impression, nor apparently
has that been the experience or impression of the hundreds
or even more users on Compuserve/ZMAC who keeo on asking
to have ZMAC moved to AOL due to nicer interface, better
Macintosh support, both hardware/software and Customer
Service wise, and lower rates ($5/hr v $12.95/hr)
Now, Prodigy did what you mention, which is why I cancelled
my membership there 20 days after activating it. That
was on an IBM. Now they keep sending me info for their
Mac version (Mailing list looks like it came from
MacWeek), and I just laugh....

As far as I understand, if you buy a font you are entitled to do with
it what you wish, for your own personal use. I use Metamorphosis Professional
together with Fontographer to modify my fonts to handle strange and
weird languages with amazingly bizarre diacritic requirements; these
tools are available to enable me to make such modifications, for my own
personal use. Of course it would be illegal for me to go and sell, or
even give away, a TrueType version of Garamond, for instance. I don't
know whether dull standard fonts like Helvetica and Times have this
restriction. When in doubt, consult your lawyer, or at the very least,
Jiminy Cricket, who will remind you to let your conscience be your guide.

Why does my Kyocera KM 1200S Full Duplex Direct modem work fine
with a 512KE, but not at all with my new Classic? When I hook up
the modem to the Classic and turn on the modem, the TM light
(which is always lit when it's connected to the 512KE) turns on,
then off in half a second. No terminal emulation program then
can work with it on the Classic, so it seems like a hardware
issue. Both serial ports on the Classic work perfectly with my
printer. Do I need to reset dipswitches on the Kyocera (if so,
which ones? - I've lost the manual) - or buy another modem?
Thanks, in advance, for any advice.

Hmmm... We've got 10 NTXs with non-Apple hard drives on them - SuperMac,
CMS and Micronet, in sizes from 20 Mb to 40 Mb. Maybe they haven't
been told yet :-)
Seriously, the main restriction is documented in the back of the NTX
manual. Something about the drive responding to a particular SCSI
command. Some of the early SCSI hard drives for Macs were really cheap
PC drives with slap-on SCSI controllers that didn't do everything
right. These drives did not work on NTXs, but worked fine on Macs.
I think all currently sold Mac SCSI hard drives will work - but surely
some exception exists!

Try using Icon view for your windows. When in the list view, the Finder wants
to assign a kind to each file. If it cannot resolve the file kind from the
startup disk's desktop file, it looks on all mounted volumes until it
determines that no application is available. When in the icon view, there is no
need to go through this process.

This HC virus lives in the DATA fork and until now the data fork of files
was thought to be immune (or at least no one have found a data virus before).
I know that the other virus protection software developers have to do a
similar radical change to check for this kind of virus.
In fact, Disinfectant and one other shareware anti-virus program choose NOT
to upgrade to fight this virus because the Hypercard commands responsible for
this virus can be EASILY changed to make it difficult/impossible to check for
every variant of this virus.
The answer is: The developers of SAM are not trying to rip you off and as
a user of SAM I am sending in for my upgrade now!
Note: I have no connection with Symantec except as a happy customer.

I don't think this is the case, since I know some friends of mine have used a
DataFrame 20 meg drive on their IINTX. Actually, I'm not absolutely positive
that it's a DataFrame 20, but I do know that they don't own **any** Apple

Subject: Unix Volumes: In defense of Intercon.
We have few complaints using a Shiva fastpath and NFS/Share from
InterCon Systems Corp. I disagree with an earlier posting to the effect
that it is buggy and poorly documented. The documentation is concise (a real
pleasure when it comes to network documentation), and a simple drag to the
system folder and a reboot put us on our way to mounting UNIX volumes to
our hearts content. We also run CAPS, but this took days and the aid of
several CAPS/UNIX gurus to get it functioning. The resulting appleshare volumes
are much slower than NFS/Share volumes. I must admit that CAPS is
performing our printing service from the UNIX machines to the laserwriters.
All in all we are quite happy with NFS/Share's performance and I look forward
to them providing me with printing service in the future.
No, I don't work for Intercon, but I am a pushover for good technical

according to their previous claims (Someone
could really take them to court for this) Anyways
the catch is that you can get it 'free' from CompuServe
or America Online (they probably get a percentage of
CompuServe's online time charge).
So if you have downloaded this from CompuServe, please
upload it to internet (sumex-aim.stanford.edu is probably
the best place) and send me a copy
Thanks
