Subject: [*] A Type 1 Font with recycling symbols
Enclosed is a bihex'd stuffit (1.51) archive of a PostScript Type 1
outline font with accompanying bitmaps. The font consists of several
versions of the international recycling symbol (the one with the three
arrows forming a triangle). It includes the basic symbol in several
variations as well as special versions for each of the seven classes
of recyclable plastics.
A sample document showing how they look and the key combinations used
is included.
The symbols will not show up in the Font/Da Mover sample window, and are
pretty unreadable in the keycaps DA, so print the sample to see how they
look.
This font was downloaded from America Online. I have no connection
with or knowledge of its creator.

Telex is the simplest network message system. It allows anyone
to send messages to other users attached to an AppleTalk network.
These messages appear on screen without any user actions.
I wrote this funny program while learning AppleTalk interfaces,
and I didn't test it intensively - only on Mac Plus, Mac SE and
MacII - all that I have. I have no internet routers, so I HOPE
that it will work with AppleTalk zones.
Please, email me, if you find any bugs - I'll try to find time
to fix them.
If you are interested in the source code - please, offer me
anything interesting (not money).

There is supposedly a program called "Aspects" that's supposed to be one of
the first real-time conferencing programs available for the Mac. I've heard
that it allows as many as 16 networked Mac users to work together,
simultaneously editing the same text and graphics on screen and viewing the
changes as they occur. It's supposed to have been beta-tested in a number of
American universities. I'm interested in hearing comments from these beta
test sites. Will it work across internetworks? Also, information regarding the
software developer/distributor and pricing would be greatly appreciated.
Please mail comments directly and I'll summarize to the net.

Subject: Final consensus on MPW/MacApp/C++
Last week I posted some interrogations concerning CFront premature ter-
mination while compiling sample programs using MacApp. It seems that
4M of RAM and running under multifinder is simply not enough. At least
3M has to be allowed to MPW itself. I've done that simply by closing
every Inits I had as well as running Finder. The results were not very
good. Only very simple programs got through the CFront and C tools.
So... I think a memory upgrade to 5M (even 8M) is necessary in order
to take advantage of C++ and MacApp.

Does anyone know if there are problems associated with this
configuration?
I have an SE, which came with two floppies, and now it has a 40 meg
quantum installed above the top floppy. I.e. I did not remove any of the
floppies. Is this dangerous? It's been this way for quite some time now
with no problems yet, except for some slight jittering on the screen (I
was told that was a result of the voice coil head movement system in the
drive sending magnetic interference into the crt, but that this was not
a problem unless it was bothersome). I was told that the drive could
cause a heat buildup in this configuration, and that the power supply
and other components may not last as long as usual.

Subject: Info-Mac Digest V9 #10
The Graphic Services department at Corporate Headquarters received permission
to have an Ethernet cable run directly into a MACIIci. The main purpose of this
would be to download text files from internal customer's 6085's directly
without use of a DAYNA file which takes an MS-DOS formatted 51/4 floppy that
has a viewpoint doc which has been converted to ASCII on it. We currently need
documents in ASCII. If we ask our customers to turn their files into ASCII on
their end, would the MACIIci be able to make the handshake and pull in the
document via a software program such as White Knight? I would prefer not to
have to use a terminal emulation program on the MAC although I doubt there is
one for ViewPoint. Your responses will be dramatically appreciated, my usual
MAC friends are not familiar with ViewPoint many thanks

Subject: Language of the Mac
Hello netters.
I got a query recently about BASIC in the Macintosh realm. It's been quite some
time since I worked in BASIC (back when there were still line numbers... and no
compilers)... but I was wondering if anyone had any in depth info about
Microsoft's QuickBASIC for the Mac. Namely... how good is the compiler (results
in clean object code??), how well are the Mac's GUI features supported (menus,
windows, buttons, etc.), how well are the new processors supported... and, of
course, will the package run on the later Mac's (cx'es, ci'es, fx'es, elsees,
Classics, si'es... etc. etc. etc.).
Thanks,
Carl

Subject: Lefties
In reply to Michael Everson...
Actually, I'm left handed and find that I work much better with the
mouse in the standard right hand position. Why? Because it keeps my
left hand free for writing. I mouse much better with my right hand
than with my left, and I'm EXTREMELY left handed.
I don't much understand what the need is for an arrow cursor that
points the other way just for lefties...especially when you consider
the different functions that left and right pointing cursors have in
a program like Microsoft Word. I think that reversing the cursors
for lefties would only make using any other Mac more confusing.
Moving the mouse I can see, reversing the cursor I can't...it would
be to me like reversing the keys on a piano for a left handed player
(and I do have a left handed guitar).
I believe that this issue needs to be thought over more carefully.

Subject: Mac IIsi and System 6.0.7
Don DeMaio asked about problems with the Mac IIsi and printing under System
6.0.7. I've been using an si since November, and have never had any problems
with printing. I use two printers; a LaserWriter located in a different
part of the building, and a locally attached ImageWriter LQ (no flack please,
you work with what you have).
I have had an intermittent problem related to the keyboard (or something),
however. Every once and a while, my keyboard gets locked into something that
looks like a CAPS LOCK condition. I had once case where Word interpreted each
individual keystroke as keyboard combination shortcuts. I use NCSA's TN3270
for communication with an IBM host (CMS). This condition exhibits itself by
putting me into the APL character set, rather than just shifted keys.
I'm able to get out of this condition by repeatedly pressing the shift key.
I've swapped keyboards and cables, but still replicated the problem. My
motherboard has been replaced (really!), and the problem still crops up.
Have any of you heard about anything like this?

Subject: Sticky Mouse Syndrome--one more trick
Just one more quick-fix for a misbehaving mouse--
The mouse on my SE (not quite a year old) decided at one point it would not
move DOWN except when used at *very* slow speeds. Vertically, it would simply
oscillate between heights on the screen--horizontal motion was uneffected.
Having recently watched a friend on mine be told by an *authorized* Apple
dealer that a new mouse would cost nearly $100 and there would be a 3-5 week
waiting period, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
First I did all the things mentioned in the previous "sticky mouse" letters,
i.e. checked the rollers and the cavity--they were fine. Frustrated, I took a
small Phillips screwdriver and opened up the mouse. It's a very simple
mechanism really, all the more reason to be embittered over $100 replacement
costs. Anyway--inside, there are two devices called potentiometers attached to
the rollers. They're in small black casings just beyond mouse-ball cavity.
These devices are theoretically sealed, and use electrical contacts to keep
track of the mouse's motion. They're the same thing you'll find in volume
knobs on your stereo.
On my mouse (one of the newer ones), there was some obvious gunk hanging from
within the *sealed* vertical potentiometer. It's not all that difficult to
carefully pop the thing out of the mouse, open the potentiometer casing (which
is designed to snap open and shut) and spray the contacts inside with some
contact cleaner to remove access garbage. Contact cleaner should be available
in most electronics stores, although I suppose isopropal alcohol would do about
as well. Just snap the potentiometer back together, put it back in place (make
sure to get the little spring-loaded wheel back in there too), and put the
screws back. Might solve some problems. Mine has been working like a dream
ever since, and this was three or four months ago. The procedure really isn't
beyond anyone who's done a bit of soddering (or assembled any Christmas toys
recently!), and it might save some $100 mouse replacement costs.
I imagine Apple service centers are just as capable of doing this as anyone
else (in addition to being *authorized*), but a quick check of the service
available here revealed they'd not have opened the potentiometers, thus
not solved my particular problem. I don't know if opening your mouse violates
any warrantees.

Subject: Suggestions for moving a Mac IIsi & 13" monitor
I just sold my SE/30 and bought a IIsi. I really miss the portability of the
SE/30. I still find it necessary to move my computer from time to time (about
once a month) and was wondering if there was anything like the Targus nylon
SE case for any Mac IIs. The IIsi CPU is really light and can be move fairly
easily. My big problem is the bulky 13" color monitor. It is quite heavy and
has no real "handles" on it. If anyone has any suggestions that would make
these trips easier I would like to hear from you.
Won't it be nice if Apple comes out with a portable with 030/040 power?

Hello all,
I have a few quick and dirty XCMDs that I'd like to write but the only compiler
I have available to me is an old copy of Borland's Turbo Pascal. This is ok
with me but my problem is that I have no way to glue my routines to Hypercard.
I know that the Info-Mac archives used to contain a library of routines that
helped Turbo generate XCMDs but I guess it was purged as can no longer find it.
Is there anyone out there on the net who has this file (I believe it was called
"turbo-xmd.hqx" or something like that) or knows where I can still find it?

From: ENGLISH@northeastern.edu
Subject: Two things...
Netfolk,
Two things, slighty related too. Does anyone out there dislike the
dialog boxes for printing. Do you dislike the way that its represented,
graphically ? Especially in PageMaker ? or like applications ? You know
what I would love to see, is a program/init/cdev/rdev that does what
norton utilities does when it is running an application. It tells you
HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE ! I would love this in my system. The same function
also appears in On Location, when it is cataloging your disk. It also has
an elapsed time monitor. Surely the masterminds of programing could whip
such a program, but alas I haven't programed in eons, so I couldn't do it
for myself, but I could design its interface, if need be. Anyone wanna give
it a whirl ?
System 7.0 The mere flash of those words on your screen make you
cringe with fear, trepidation,...naseau ! Aren't we all just a little
tired of hearing when it'll be released ? What it'll contain ? Haven't
we all heard what it can't do, why it won't do it, and by now 3 million of
you are devising a way to add on to sys 7.0 to make it do what you want it
to do.
Well here's more ad-naseaum. I just got a look see for myself at
the FINAL version of 7.0 (yeah, right, sure...that's what they said 2 years
ago), and here is the report card from the average users standpoint.
As far as interface goes...it looks and feels much like a NeXt. There the
similiarities end. For shear processing power you'd be better off going out
and buying a NeXt machine (I'm loyal to the core about Jobs). It has great
little icons, much more detail that what we're used to. It can do some neat
tricks, like the bit about dropping a DA/INIT into their respective folders and
viola! DA/INIT. But we've know about that for ages. The thing I found rather
impressive was the fact that apple has divided up its control panel documents
so that each can be individually controled, and set to stay that way by
removing the file in question. Neat. Another little fascinating trick was
the icons, the desktop, the windows all appear to have been custom designed
by the user. It's almost as though, per chance, someone at apple were
actually listen to their product users, and watching what people were doing
with Layout 1.7, or Personality, or Kolor, or SunDesk...or any of the myriad
of software packages propriatary or not, that change the look and feel of the
machine. But again, we've known about this...for AGES.
So what else can it do. Not a whole lot. I was reading in MacWorld that with
7.0 you have to 'publish' and something else that I forget now, in order to
move a graphic, or document from place to place. I saw no evidence of such
a device, or software presence.
As to shear memory power, I know the company that produces 'Virtual' will
be very happy to know that apple has matched them at their own innovation.
Nice steal.
Lastly, the thing that I found most interesting, if not confusing was how
the sys file was set up. Several different folders holding several different
things for several different purposes. Strange. For instance all the control
panel documents, were in their own folder, the inits/da...their own folder.
Strange. All in all, I've said nothing here about what it does for printing.
Or what it does to applications. I have all the latest software and you'll
be happy to know that every major piece of software RUNS like a charm, with
no malfuntions. So not to worry. I've said nothing about 7.0 that we already
didn't know. For all its touted power, I'll wait to see what the developers
do with this tool. That's when the real game begins. If your looking for
flash, 7.0 has got alot of that. If your looking for substance, look to your
nearest developer. I know I will.

I would like to know this as well. Sometimes the remote command
facility doesn't work for a period of time and then mysteriously
resolves itself. When it doesn't work, there is no obvious evidence of
any rejected login attempts on our sun server. If I knew the protocol used for remote commands, I might be able to trace the problem.
