Subject: [*] Furioso Titling, a Type 1 PostScript shareware font
Furioso Titling is a font I executed & own all rights to. It is a subset of
the font Furioso, containing the capital letters, the numerals, and a few
punctuation marks. I am offering it as shareware to the networld, but
retaining the copyright, etc.
For a small registration fee (see TEXT file accompanying the font), I will
send a disk containing the full Furioso font: cap and lower case,
alternate capitals, all punctuation, foreign & special characters,
etc. Also, a few photocopied pages explaining the history of the
face (originally designed in 1935 by Berthold Wolpe) & other tidbits.
You may distribute this archive to other locations, but you must distribute
it intact. It contains: Type 1 PS downloadable printer font (ATM
compatible); Macintosh bitmap screen fonts; AFM (Adobe Font Metrics)
file for those who need it.
Enjoy. - - Glenn Fleishman, Yale University Printing Service

Subject: [*] LPunch 1.1
Here is the revised version of LPunch (1.1)
The previous version (1.0) did not work on 68030 machines (my
compilation fault). The new version has a nicer interface and
includes a text editor.
LPunch converts a <LISTSERV Punch> formatted file into a text
file. A LISTSERV Punch formatted file is generated by a LISTSERV
mailing-list server. This format is used if the file being sent
through the network is larger than a card image (80 characters).

Are there e.g. cards available to hook up the SE/30 to a VGA/multisync

Subject: Coprocessor for LC
I recently compared the running speed of a Neural Networks application
on a IIcx and an LC. Learning takes place about ten times faster on the
IIcx. Part of this is no doubt due to the difference between an 020 and
an 030, but most of it, I suspect, is because the LC lacks a 68882.
Novy Systems has come out with a QuikMath/LC card, which I have purchased
and will report on when it arrives. However, others thinking of going
this route should be aware that you can get the card from System Technology
at 904-428-0411, fax 0765, for $149 right now, with perhaps a 15% discount
if you give a university address (it works if you give mine!). But from
April 1, the price will be $299.

You cannot protect ideas under copyright; only their concrete form as

use code created by another and does not have look and feel of other

Hi. I am interested to know if there is software that lets you ftp
directly to a remote host from your Mac. Currently, I connect to our
mainframe (running CMS) via ethernet, using tn3270. I then start an ftp
session from my CMS account to whatever site I am looking at. (And of course,
getting the file to my Mac involves starting an ftp session with it, and
putting the files there, via the ftp command.) This method has worked fine,
but I would like to cut out the intervening step of having to download to
my CMS account, and instead ftp directly from the Mac to whatever remote
site there is.
Any help appreciated.

I would like to thank all of the people who wrote to me about the

line turned out to be a 'feature' of the screen and not a fault. The
problem with the sounds is probably due the change in the way the
new system handles sounds. I have passed the info along to my friend, who
is fairly new to computers and was amazed by internet and the response I
got to the questions. He is also very grateful.

Subject: Line on some monitors
As Murph Sewall pointed out, all Sony monitors have a faint line about 1/3 of
the way up from the bottom of the screen. As far as why they were there, I
have been told that it is necessary to hold the shadow mask in place, and that
there is no alternative with the Trinitron design. Also, I believe that all
Apple monitors are manufactured by Sony, which would explain the presence of
the line on Apple monitors as well. I personally am not bothered by the
presence of this line; the other advantages of the Trinitron design outweigh
any distraction caused by the line, in my opinion.

It is a new creation from the father of PASCAL and MODULA,

Since the description of this product sounded very promissing,

Could anybody post it to the archive or send it to me or at least

Subject: Mac Programming Lists
Although I received dozens of requests to pass along information about
Macintosh programming lists, no one replied about any programming lists active
on the Internet. From this I have to conclude that the only forum for Mac
programming is the one on Usenet.
Therefore I'd like to take a quick poll. We've got a Sparc 1+ sitting around
with nothing special on it. It could be set up like the Sumex archives to allow
anonymous ftp along with a listserv or digest distribution scheme. Code
segments could be kept in the archives along with the finished software. So
at the risk of flooding my CMS mailer, please send me a quick note if you'd
like to see a setup like the one I've mentioned. If you have any suggestions
then send them along too. I'd like to get a better idea of the interest out
there in order to sell this idea to management.

As I understand the intricacies of protection legislation (as an
engineer mind you, not a lawyer) copyrights protect specific written
or artistic works (which is why software can be copyrighted) and
patents protect VERY specifically defined hardware mechanisms and
manufacturing processes (which is why software cannot be patented).
Based on the recent look-and-feel suits, copyright protection MAY
extend to interface designs but this seems to still be quite fuzzy.
Other than the above, no other protection is provided by law.
Certainly, no IDEAS are ever protected other than by keeping them to
yourself. If mere ideas were protected, no competition would be
possible since the first company that developed any particular
capability would own it (how many word processing programs are
there?). It seems to me that the guy who wanted to know if he could
develop shareware that duplicated the functionality of a commercial
product and then give it away to people while asking them to pay (the
shareware principle) can go right ahead provided he doesn't use any
code from the commercial product (notice I didn't say he couldn't have
seen the code, only not USED it) and that he steers clear of the
look-and-feel business. After all, taking someone elses good idea and
finding a way to provide it to the marketplace better and cheaper is
the American Way (do I hear the National Anthem starting?) :-)

|ORB MAZEZ

This letter exist because the ones I have tried to send to
Stephen Wilson at "smw@ozone.cbr.dwe.csiro.au" have all been
deemed undeliverable.
Question: DOES THE GAME work on the Mac LC's 12" RGB monitor?
If not, could someone make it compatible (Stephen
Wilson??)? Please.
Two of the monitor requirements for this EXCELLENT game are
640x480 and
256 colors
Problem: The 12" RGB monitor for the Mac LC has no problem
with the color depth, but it only has 512x384 pixel
resolution.
Possible soultions by me...
Spend $999 on the 13"RGB ($599 for 12")
but then I also have to spend more for
the VRAM expansion to get 256 colors
Spend $299 for the 12" monochrome, $$ for the
VRAM expansion, for 256 grays. No color.
Also the above options don't work with the
Apple II emulator. I've got thousands of Apple II
programs.
Why worry about one game (program)????
How many other programs out there requiring, at least
the 13" RGB specs., that won't work with the 12" RGB?
Should I give up 32,000 colors and Apple II compatiblity
for only 256 colors but standard monitor specs?

I remember that in order to use the PP updater, one must have an EXACT copy

Subject: System 7.0b4 Problems
I just installed System 7.0b4 on my 4 Meg SE last night and I am having
a few problems. The more annoying of which is that when I try to set
access priviledges for my server, the Finder always runs out of memory.
Increasing the memory size via ResEdit does no good -- the Finder just
sucks up everything you give it. I've tried getting rid of inits and
fonts and such, but it always leaves me with about 10K free for the
system software. I'm pretty sure this is becuase I have ~ 225 users
and Apple only recommends 50, but I had no problems with 7.0b1.
On another note, whenever I choose Desktop in Open/Save dialog boxes,
the system crashes. This happens in any application when clicking on the
button and when going up the folder hierarchy. I assume the recommended
solution to this will be to reinstall the software, but someone has
my disks at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

should send new copies of there programs in *even* if the only thing different
is their address. But, sumex shouldnt put it in the Info-mac digest--just

the source code as well as X compiled for the mac. Thanks in advance,

Subject: ZMODEM Files (I need help!)
Hello,
I am new to using the ZMODEM protocol and need some help in one way or another.
I downloaded ZTERM 0.85 from the archives in order to allow me to download
some other files on another network. No problems there. BUT, after I have
the Zmodem file on my Mac SE, what do I do with it? Stuffit won't help. Do I
need another type of program to 'decode' this file?
Please send replies to either the Info-Mac Digest or to me at:
jcr0969@sigma.tamu.edu
and thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Some software regularly gets deleted from the archives because there isn't
room to store everything that's sent in. I don't think it a good idea
to archive stuff that's readily accessible elsewhere. You CAN ftp the
TN3270 package from BrownVM.Brown.Edu (anonymous login, etc.) OR you can
get LISTSERV to send it to you at your leisure (message from BITNET only
or email from just about anywhere)
email to LISTERV@BrownVM.Brown.Edu
(subject ignored)
GET TN3270 PACKAGE
There's an MS Word doc in the binhex'd StuffIT 1.5.x archive.
Address inquiries to Peter DiCamillo <CMSMAINT@BrownVM.Brown.Edu>
