Subject: A Few Questions about SilverLining and Partitioning
I just got La Cie's SilverLining software for formatting disks. I have both
Ehman and Mass Micro SyQuest drives. I'm not real fond of either's formatting
software. Has anyone got anything good or bad to say about SilverLining on
either of these SyQuest drives? I am also getting a 600 MB (yes, I know I'm a
pig) drive and was thinking about using SilverLining to partition it. Any
comments on their partitioning software?
I'm not keen on partitioning. I prefer one big volume. The only reasons I
see for partitioning are:
1) Keeping smaller desktop files. I am using the Desktop Manager, so
this may be less of a concern. Anyone know of a limit for the DM?
2) Larger block allocation sizes. Larger volumes waste space by
allocating bigger minimum file sizes. A floppy uses .5K, an 80MB
uses 1K, a 150MB uses 1.5K, a 600MB probably uses 3K (my VAX does).
Does Silverlining's partitioning change this? I tried the SUM
partition INIT and it didn't affect this, which wasn't surprising.
It would need to reformat the drive to affect this. SilverLining
might be able to. Does it?
3) Software crash protection. Since a hardware crash will kill the
entire drive, and Norton or SUM can recover from software, I don't
really see this as a good reason.
Thanks for any comments you wish to make.

Well...
The reason I switched is that I use a color monitor and programs that can
utilize specified fill patterns as well as color. When printed on an HP
PaintJet everything looks fine. Printed on the LaserWriter with the
color/grayscale set, all the colored objects are different shades of gray.
This means that specific patterns set within the program are not recognizable
in the LW printout and the solid borders around filled objects appear gray
instead of solid black. In addition, text in colors on the screen look
terrible when printed in gray.
Since most users do not have true color or grayscale output capabilities,
the default should be B&W, not color/grayscale. Perhaps the value set by the
user should remain until it is reset?! Then, if I set it to B&W, it will
remain B&W until I change it.
Incidently, the "skanky app" I am running was just developed using MPW
object Pascal and MacAPP.

Hi...
I have a question...I know this probably was asked before but I've
never seen it (I only read this list when I have spare time). What I'm
wondering is if there is Hard Drive lock that is public domain or shareware.
The reason I am asking this is because we have a 20-meg HD on an SE at
the computer lab...and we want it only to copy files and check disks.
We want to be able to control people writing to the hard drive (students).
If you would, please respond directly to me -- 34ZEF4M at CMUVM.

Subject: HyperCard 2.0 and System 7.0...
Hi y'all,
Oh. I'm sorry if this has already been discussed here... but...
I got a philosophy question here (thought it up in the trudging through the
snow this afternoon). IAC (inter-application communication) is comming with
System 7.0. Thus one app can send commands, requests, etc. to another. This,
among other things, makes a command language (or scripting language) possible.
I have heard that some future release of HyperCard is going to take care of
this. This, I think, is a very good idea. I think that HyperCard is a great
plattform for scripting. For one thing, it means we don't have to learn a new
language (just use HyperTalk) -- or at least those of us who know it. Besides,
HyperTalk was aimed at non-programmers.
What does this mean for HyperCard? Well, it seems to me that this ties
HyperCard to the Mac system more closely than ever; it will become an essential
piece of software for the very existance of our Macs. "Fine!", "Great", you
say.
What about this upgrade policy? 50 bucks for 2.0? Will it cost me more when
I want to get the HyperCard that can do scripting? What about developers who
write scripts? They can't be sure that their software will be running on a Mac
with HyperCard 2.0 -- because the person (or company) didn't feel like
upgrading at 50 bucks a pop. One of the great things about the mac is its
stability accross hardware plattforms. I think it will be a pitty to lose this
accross software bounds.
On the other hand, I could be completely missunderstanding this upgrade
policy!
Gordon.

If you're using a recent (>= 2.0) version of AppleShare, you can set up
each application as 'execute only', which will forbid copying it out of
the mounted volume. I don't have a server nearby now to check, but this
option appears on the 'Get Info' window for the file, when running the
Admin application, if I remember correctly.
No sense in filling up your server with dummy resources, if the server
already has this protection scheme built in !

Subject: Misc Questions: SIMMs, H.C., Upgrading, Accessories and more
Hello,
I have a number of questions, which I have broken down into categories. If
you can help me with answer any of them, please do. I would much appreciate
it.
My configuration is the following: Mac SE 2Meg Ram/40HD, ext keyboard,
standard mouse, EMac MD2400 modem, HP DeskWriter. Software applictions include
Microsoft Word 4.0B, Microsoft Excel 2.2a, SuperPaint 2.0a, and DeltaGraph 1.5.
I am currently running under System 6.05, using Multifinder 1.2.5. Also, my
Hypercard version is 1.2.5.
Hardware:
---------
I am currently considering upgrading from 2 to 4 meg Ram. The primary
purpose is to increase Multifinder's capability. I believe it to also increase
speed in general, including printing time (according to HP). Mac Connection is
selling 80ns SIMMs 2 Meg for $99.
1. Is my assumption correct about multifinder and speed?
2. Are these SIMMs a good deal?
3. Is 80ns a good SIMM? My campus store sells SIMMs at twice the price
but didn't know off-hand what the ns was on them.
I think I will have my campus store install them for the whopping price of $40.
High, but I want my warrantees in tact and that is what thye charge to open up
the machine.
Software:
---------
Product upgrades.
1. How does anyone keep up with upgrades? I don't have a magazine or
other subscription - do I need one to keep up to date? Which ones?
2. Is system 6.07 worth the the trouble to get?
3. How do I get 6.07?
4. I have heard about hypercard's upgrade. Could someone please give me
information on how to get the upgrade? Perhaps the co. telephone #.
5. Have there been any upgrades in Multifinder beyond the one I have?
If so, what are the changes and how do I get it?
Accessories: (Mac Mobility)
------------
I make a about a 6 or 8 long road trips per year - each in excess of 300
miles. Bringing my Mac with me would be very useful.
1. How transportable is this machine?
2. What risks of damage do I run, especially to internal mechanisms?
I have looked in a couple places for carrying cases and found three different
makers, all within $10. Mac Connection's catalog lists Targus and I/O Design.
Their sales help was suprising not very helpful in deciding between them.
Features were sited, but the features were not the same (ie...this one is
double stitched and the other ?) I looked at the one by Linebacker in my
campus computer store. Didn't seem all that protective and perhaps they will
all appear that way. The only advantage I can see is that Targus has a
seperate Keyboard carry case for added protection.
3. Ok, so how do I decide? Is there a "best" cushion material to be
looking for?
4. Recommendations anyone? Does anyone have one and want to let me in
on how they feel about it?
As I mentioned above, I have an HP Deskwriter. I would like to order
additional fonts and also a dust cover.
5. Where can I get hold of an HP Sales rep? Telephone # anyone?
Well, that's it for now. I would sincerely appreciate any help you can
give me in gaining information about any of the above questions.
Sincerely,
Chuck Lyons

Does anyone out on the net have experience using Apple EtherTalk NB cards
in Mac IIsi's with the Apple NuBus adapter? I'm trying to get just such a
configuration up and running on DEC LanWORKS (oh, okay -- PATHWORKS!) and
have had no luck thus far. When I click on AppleShare in the Chooser, I
see no services or volumes available, yet the processes are running on
the VAX. Unfortunately, I have no other Macs on which to test any of the
questionable components, so the problem could well be the EtherTalk card,
the NuBus adapter, the IIsi PDS slot, or the configuration of LanWORKS on
the VAX. I have tested all the cabling and have confirmed that it is
possible to initiate an Ethernet connection from the Mac's location to
the VAX. Any thoughts? Any interest on starting a LanWORKS list? If
anyone out there can simply confirm for me that they've had luck (or a
lack of luck) in using EtherTalk NB cards with the IIsi and NuBus adapter,
I'd be very appreciative. Thanks!

Greetings,
We're looking for an easy-to-use and inexpensive way to allow any Mac in an
AppleTalk network to view the screen of any other Mac. This is for use in a
writing lab which will be set up this summer. We don't need to be able to
control the Mac (ala Timbuktu), just display the screen. It would be most
helpful if the instructor could control the entire process from her Mac. The
idea is to be able to show one student's screen, or the teacher's screen on
any or all other Macs in the class, and to show any student's screen on the
instructor's screen (which is projected).
The student's as well as the instructors require a system that is as simple and
quick as possible.
Thanks for your help.

The easiest way to combine them probably is with your mainframe's editor
(then download the resulting approximately 500K file).
There are three programs in the archives that can do the job.
the BinHQX DA will join (or segment) and is MUCH faster at BinHex conversion
than StuffIT (worth the shareware fee if you use the archives much).
I've used the Unify utility to concatenate 500K data files. It works fine.
Finally, if you haven't taken a look at McSink, I recommend it (especially
if it's inconvenient to use your mainframe's editor to get rid of the

Is there a relational data base for hypercard to be used in a network with

I need a powerfull one. Is there someone with experiences who can report us

to developp an application with a database? In my opinion, software like 4D,
Omnis-5, Fox-Base, etc... are too difficult to implement and maintain in
comparison with HyperCard (the interface, etc), and we are too dependant of the

See? Your son leaps to the conclusion that Laser printers are for gray
and color images.
Most of what I print is text or text with straight black line "clip art."
I use a LaserWriter because it's quiet, fast, prints nice sharp multiple
fonts and generally makes the output from HP printers connected to MeSsy DOS
boxes look (comparatively) like it was pounded out on Andy Rooney's
beloved Underwood.
On those occasions when I DO need to put out a grayscaled graphic (mostly
statistical charts and figures) I do (manually) select the 'color' option.
The printer manual's solution is to recommend using the older LaserWriter
driver (Apple's System disk offers the B/W LaserWriter driver and has the
grey/color version hidden in the "color folder" -- if I haven't got that
exactly correct it's because I'm at home and haven't the disk handy to
peek into to verify). I'd rather simply flip the default option because
occasionally I DO want to print a graphic in grayscale.

Subject: Wordstar file format
Is it just me.....?
I've been doing some shifting around of files among various computers
recently. Getting files from the Guthenberg word processor format on the
Apple ][ was fun :-), but *nothing* that I have seen seems to take
Wordstar format files and translate them into any Mac format, including
the format information. I can get the text across, of course, and most folk
want to use the better capabilities of the Mac from scratch. However given the
widespread use of WS, why is there no AFE translator, MWII translator, etc.
......or am I missing something obvious?.

Subject: ymodem and versaterm pro 3.1.1
Hello,
It appears that Chuck Forsbergs "sb" program (unix version 3.03 ) dated
5-09-89 breaks Versaterm Pro v 3.1.1. All text ymodem receives to the
Versaterm are prematurely truncated with no error msg. Xmodem appears
to function normally. I dragged out an old version of sb (unix 1.44 ) dated 3-03
-88.
and it appears to work ok with Versaterm. With the old version of "sb"
the "progress" indicator bar does not appear. I initially thought that "sb"
was munged but I have been able to batch download with another program and
also batch download to A/UX using the same rb/sb programs.
Has anybody else had similiar problems? Is there a later version of the x/y/z
modem program available?
...Jerry
