Subject: [*] Almanac 1.91
Almanac 1.91 is the 1991 version of the Alamanc Stack, replacing
version 1.85. Aside from the correct yerar data, there is little
change. This stack calculates positions of the sun, moon and
planets, as well as a lot of other astronomical data. The stack is
$5 shareware to X Systems, 1789 Brandy Dr. COnyers, GA 30208. So
far I have ten (10) shareware payers. I am currentyl working on
version 2.0 which will be year-independent and do much more
calculations.

Subject: [*] Cassette Labels 1.1
Included below is Cassette Labels 1.1, a HyperCard 2.0 stack for printing out
track-listings suitable for stuffing in a cassette case. It can also be used
to catalogue your cassette collection.
Cassette Labels 1.1 is the successor to Cassette Labels 1.01, a HyperCard 1.2
stack. It is NOT related to a similar stack called "Cassette Labeller 2.0" by
Shad Ahmad.
New in version 1.1 is support for HyperCard 2.0 (version 1.0x dies horribly if
you attempt to create a new card under HC 2.0) and vastly improved printing
quality on LaserWriters and non-Apple printers (a consequence of HC 2.0's
improved printer support).
Like Cassette Labels 1.0x, Cassette Labels 1.1 is freeware.

Some of us out there are still using a FatMac! My mother is one of them..
She is still using an old standard Apple keyboard which is malfuctioning
a lot. I think I once saw an ADB adaptor being sold, which enables the
use of ADB keyboards with "old" Macs.
I would be very greatful if you can refer me to the company selling such

Thank you.

The APDA Asynchronous (i.e serial RS232) LaserWriter Driver will let you connect
directly to your LaserWriter with a serial cable by selecting Direct.ACL in the
'Connect via' field in the Asynchronous LaserWriter dialog (which you get by
clicking on 'Modify' in the Chooser dialog).
We used to use the driver, and the speed factor is no problem: 'Document
printing at *9600* baud is accomplished at speeds similar to AppleTalk' - from
the manual.
I must make one serious caveat however. We *used* to use the driver. We stopped
because it stopped. It just decided one day that it wasn't going to work anymore
and that was that. Booting from the distribution floppy - no joy, re-installing
the system on our MacII - not a sausage! Just 'Application cannot print this
document due to an unkown error'.
We have tested the cable. We have ripped apart the cable. We have replaced the
Mac's motherboard in case it was a serial port problem. We have reset our PRAM
and pulled our hair. Zilch.
Anyway, why don't Apple give us an updated serial LaserWriter driver in the
standard system distribution? The version of the system on the APDA disk is 4.0!
Why are there no commercial serial LaserWriter drivers? With spooling? Anyone
got any ideas?

Subject: Apple File Exchange won't run
I am having a maddening problem with my copy of Apple File Exchange. It
doesn't work most of the time. I have just tried to start it eight times,
each time getting an error with ID=02. Once in a while, it will run after
only a few bombs. This is not the norm, however, and many times I have
had to give up (as I did today) and try again at a later time. I have tried
running AFE from my master disk, with the same results.
I'm really stumped. It loads up what seems to be most of the program, and
then crashes with ID=02. Unfortunately, I cannot determine when this
problem started, as I did not use AFE with any frequency until a few
months ago. It's possible that it's always been present on my system.
The setup: Mac SE w/FDHD, 1 MB RAM, 45 MB HD, System 6.0.4, Finder 6.1.4;
FunKey, Fruits of Passion, SfScrollInit, Disinfectant INIT. I have also
installed a graphic as my Desktop with DeskScene Install. The problem
persists even when I have uninstalled the DeskScene and removed all
extraneous INITs and CDEVs.
As always, thanks in advance for your advice.....

Subject: Ascii characters & sorting/MS Word dictionaries
I am in the process of making the latest in a series of Hungarian language
fonts. To date I have learned much from each try. I am now using Resedit to
create a keyboard for each user and one font. I wish to find an appropriate
ASCII character to use for o with double accent (sort of like an umlaut with
accents instead of dots). I am already using the characters generated by the
dead keys option/e and option/u (umlaut and accent). I wish for my font to be
used with MS Word dictionaries and any one of a number of databases. I wish
for them to sort properly (i.e., o w/ 2 accents before p, preferably after
o with umlaut). I wish for word to recognize that the two different characters
are capital and lower case of each other for use in dictionaries. I could
change o with a ^ (option i/then o) or o with tilde (option n then o) but I
was hoping for some insight from users. Thanks! --Pete

Subject: Binhex .hqx files and Binhex 4.0/Stuffit Decode binhex
Well, it seems that my assumption that BinHex 4.0 should be the
program of choice for decoding binhex files. Thanks to all who
responded and told me that BinHex 4.0 has a problem with
decoding files with long file names. Sure enough, if I give a file
a name over 27 characters, BinHex 4.0 chokes on it. Easily solved
by simply renaming the file to a shorter name. It turns out that
now that I directly FTP files with their names intact, instead of
using Macserve and having to rename the files myself from the
mysterious numbers that they are sent as, I have never before had
a binhex file with a very long name. Mystery solved.
Thanks,

Subject: Chooser and 6.0.7
Does anybody know how I can pre-format a document if the peripheral I intend
to be using is not available? e.g. I have an Imagewriter, and want to set
things up so that it would print on a Laserwriter. Previous to my upgrade
I would select the Laserwriter and the chooser would not find any printer
on the non-existent network, and it would say to ensure document page setup
is the setup for that of a Laserwriter. I would do so, and if need be,
I could generate a postscript file, using option-k or option-f. Or, if I was
feeling sneaky, I'd set background printing on, and print, and then grab the
file from the Spool folder and copy it to disk. But now, thanks to
Apple's new friendliness, I am told 'Sorry, the Printer Cannot be Used',
and then I can't get out of anything, I can't print using an Imagewriter
driver, nor can I print using the older 5.2 driver, I'm just left there
stranded, with the only option of closing everything again, and restarting.
What am I doing wrong? Better yet, why is Apple doing this to me? Is this
an attempt to force me to get a Laserwriter IINTX? How can I avoid this entire
mess? Any answers would be *greatly* appreciated. Please mail me directly.
Thanks
P.S. previously, I was operating using 6.0.4, and the corresponding
drivers, and *everything* worked fine. No bombs in system 6.0.7, but this
new feature is RATHER ANNOYING.

Subject: Encoding folder-heirarchy for net?
Does anybody know of a program (shareware preferably) that will encode a
complete heirarchy of folders, including desktop layout, and any files if
any that are within them, for network transmission?
I have a cute way to use Finder to organize information in a combined
heirarchial and geometric way: I simply create a bunch of nested
otherwise-empty folders. The name of each folder is the title of the
information, and the Get Info remarks have any details that won't fit in
the 31 character filenames.
I want to send such a folder to somebody on the net, but none of the
programs I've tried work correctly for this task:
BinHex 4.0 won't handle anything except a single file, no folders at all.
PackIt handles multiple files, but no folders at all.
Compact Pro handles folders but ignores any that don't have actual files
in them. Since all but my toplevel folder are empty, virtually the whole
structure is lost.
StuffIt 1.5.1 almost works correctly, but discards the desktop layout of
folders (it converts all folders to large-ICON view, and it rearranges
all contents into cleaned-up rows&columns).
Does anybody know of a program that does what StuffIt does, but also
encodes the desktop layout and Get Info remarks for each folder?

Hmm. The person who told me that the card only works with the 12" monitor
was an ENGINEER employed by Apple who's assignment is the K-12 market. He
was responding to my question about whether it would be possible to make
a NuBus adaptor for the //e card so I could put one in a IIci. No, said he
because the card won't work with the 13" monitor and the 12" monitor won't
work on a IIci.
The LC has more video flexibility than any other Macintosh. Perhaps it can
do something truly strange with the scan within the //e window on a 13"
monitor?
Maybe one of the technical gurus on this net can tell us which version of
Apple's story is the right one?

Subject: IIsi Compatibility
Hi All,
A friend of mine just purchased a IIsi. I took a load of my software
over to show him (he had never used a Mac prior to this). Unfortunately,
some of the software didn't work (I use a 1Mb plus). We had problems
with CheapBeep. It hung the machine when we clicked on the icon. This
is a pity, because I think CheapBeep is better than the sound cdev that
comes with the system. Another one that gave us problems was finder sounds.
Actually, it didn't really give us problems, it gave us nothing at all!
The icon didn't appear when we booted the machine. And there were no
sounds. I definitely copied all the right files into the system folder.
I also tried to load up studio session. That hung when we tried to
run it. Again this is a real bummer. My friend has no idea of the
sound capabilities of his new toy! Is it any coincidence that all these
problems are with programs that use sounds?
Another problem is with his monitor. He has the 13" colour monitor. It
looks great, apart from a faint line that runs horizontally across the
monitor about one third of the way down. The dealer said that all the
monitors were like that. Mind you, this was a Computerland dealer!
Thanks in advance

Tom, why is your description so cryptic and uninformative? I wish you

actually does, so people don't have to download and unpack it in order

As far as I can tell, it's an INIT which maps the whole qwerty

for people who cannot or prefer not to use the whole width of the
normal keyboard for typing.
If so, it's even more important to *identify* this software to make it

resource fork with Resedit & then the file opened OK. Several people mentioned
that MS Word does not look in a file's resource fork, which appears to be the

Subject: StyleWriter
In response to several queries about the new StyleWriter printer from
Apple: For personal use (i.e. not on a network or in situations where
print speed is important) the StyleWriter is probably an unbeatable
deal. I've seen them advertised locally (central NY) for about $500
and they are available through my college's purchase program for $360.
I was able to play around with one last week and found it to be a bit
slow; text output was indistinguishable from LaserWriter output; solid
black areas (thankfully) appeared solid with no annoying little lines
running through them. I would highly recommend it for students, small

anyone know an internet address for him or the internet formula to send to
GEnie?

Hello from Paris !!
Could some one tell me where I could find Macintalk ?
Does there is a protection software who add rights (user,group,others) to files
and folders "a la" Unix ?
I need a cross-compiler for the 8051 micro-controller on the Mac, does anyone
knows one ??
Thanx your answers and many excuses for my poor english !!!

Hi!
I have been trying to track down the creators of Kalidegraph, a
scientific graphing package. I've plowed through past issues of
MacWorld, but I haven't found anything about them. The lab that I
have been managing has been using Cricket Graph (gag!) but I would
like to try something better, and I've heard that Kalidegraph
blows Cricket Graph out of the water. Has anyone used Kalidegraph,
and if so, how did you like it? Have you also used Cricket Graph, and
how does it compare to Cricket Graph?
Thanx in advance!
