Subject: [*] cyrillic font submission
Below is a binhex'd, stuffit'd font file that contains a variety of
Cyrillic (Russian, etc) fonts that I collected in response to my request
for Russian fonts. There were name conflicts among the fonts I received
and with other fonts already in the archives, so I renamed some fonts
arbitrarily. I think there is one font duplication, but I did not want
to check it carefully enough to see. Only bitmap fonts were donated; I
did not find any publically available outline fonts.

Subject: [*] ISODE's OSI stub generators
OSI is a set of computer network protocols specified by ISO for
connecting computers together, similar to the TCP/IP and Appletalk
series of protocols. The higher level protocols provide a remote
procedure call facility which can be specified using a context-free
grammar-like notation. ISODE is a publically available software package
that implements many OSI protocols on Unix. Part of the package are
processors for the remote procedure call specifications. These
processors are called xpepy, xposy, and xrosy. Peter Kay ported these
processors onto the Mac. The Binhex'd programs follow.

between Garri Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. The match was
tied 6-6 after 12, with Kasparov (the defending champ) playing
the white pieces in all even-numbered games. In the event of
a 12-12 tie, Kasparov would retain the crown and the $3 million
purse will be split evenly. The games can also be read by
Sargon IV.

which do require an account for a return address, but they don't
have to be on the NNTP server machine. This is shareware.

NetNews Starter Code Package (NNSCP) October 1990
===================================================
If you have picked up this code in hopes of finding a nifty new news reader
you will be disappointed and should probably stick with one of the HyperCard
based readers. If, on the other hand, you've thought about tinkering with a
news reader you may find this a useful starting point. The code requires
Think C 4.0 or later and MacTCP. While this code does produce a perfectly
acceptable new reader (I use it as my sole news reader), it is best viewed as
sample code. The user interface is cumbersome in parts and the code is not
robust enough to be considered a finished product. I call this code a starter
package because it implements a "news reader in the raw", base functionality,
ready to be customized with features of your design.

Subject: [*] Unix SPICE to Mac CricketGraph converter is here
Here is a copy of a Unix spice to Tab-Delimited-Text converter that I
wrote over the summer for Auburn University. This program converts
spice text output files into a format that can easily be imported into
CricketGraph on the Macintosh or into just about any spreadsheet for
the mac or (I am told) for MS-DOS machines.
This program enables you (indirectly) to include graphs from
spice simulations in papers typeset on the macintosh. After converting
a spice file to TDT format, transfer the file to your Macintosh, open it
as a text file in CricketGraph, plot it, and copy the resultant graph
to the clipboard. Then you can paste the graph into your paper using
your favorite word processor.
To compile, save this file as [filename] and type
"cc [filename] -0 chirp"
Any questions about the program before July 1992 should be directed to
gbrown@tybalt.caltech.edu.
Later,

Subject: AppleTalk to Ethernet Query
I need help and suggestions on how to configure our Macintosh networks to
communicate with our Vaxes on Ethernet and go out onto the Internet.
Here's our scenario-
I've got four separate AppleTalk LANs, each with its own server (we're
running a network package called MacJanet). We were thinking of
purchasing a bridge for each of these LANs and connecting the bridges to a
backbone AppleTalk network that then connects to a FastPath (or other
gateway) to access our VAXs. Our rationale here is that we want server
traffic to remain within that particular AppleTalk segment, but we want
users to have the opportunity to access the VAX and Ethernet from any
workstation in our Macintosh labs for e-mail or to explore the internet.
As well, we may eventually want to have a dedicated mail server on the
AppleTalk backbone for all users to access, or maybe a server loaded with
public domain software.
Here's my questions-
1) If user A on LAN A accesses the server on LAN A, will those same
packets travel across the bridge to all other AppleTalk segments? If so,
then bridging these segments will seriously affect performance.
2) Is a router a better choice than a bridge? If so, can you suggest a
manufacturer that you have experience with?
3) If bridges are all I need, can you suggest a manufacturer that you've had
experience with?
4) What network software is being used at your site(s)? Are you
concerned about locking and protecting programs? What about setting
quotas on the maximum number of concurrently running copies of a
program?
Is there someone you know of who I should be talking to
(name/phone/bitnet address)?
Please respond to me directly. Many thanks for all the help.

Subject: External Hard Drive for Original Mac II
Hi everyone,
First of all, I just want to tell you that this is NOT my account -- I
am simply borrowing it because it has gmail privileges. Please send
all replies to ACSLABJNF@DEPAUL.bitnet. Please send directly to me (or
to list and to me -- I don't belong to all the lists I'm sending to).
Here's my question: Is there any way to hook up an external drive to
the original Mac II. The original Mac II did not include a SCSI port.
Is there somewhere where they can install SCSI ports onto a Mac II.
I have a Mac II with a 40-meg drive and almost everything on it is
compressed -- I NEED a way to hook up an external. Don't tell me to
buy an internal and replace my current drive -- I would also like to
daisy-chain more than one peripheral to the computer.
If it's important, here's my configuration:
MAC II w/40 MB Hard Drive
5 MB RAM (1MB 120ns, 4MB 80ns)
Color Monitor
This is important to me. If you can help, let me know -- no idea is
to silly.
BTW, for those people who have read about Compactor, but not used it:
It does work. It compresses (on the average) between 2-20% more than
Stuffit Deluxe (some files up to 50% more).
Thanks,

Subject: Extra diskdrives to Mac
I recently discovered that the external Apple floppy drive seems to have
an the possibility of connecting an extra external floppy drive to it.
To see the connection you only have to remove the small covering plate.
To my disappointment nothing happened when I connected two external drives

I need extra cables?

I want to download IBM programs with my networked Mac and then

speed things up.
Also, has anyone compiled information on the different non-Apple printer
options. I am looking at IW II, DeskWriter, or Grappler and Epson LX-810,
or Grappler and DeskJet 500. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
And while were on printers, does anyone know of a good print spooler. I

Some weeks back I asked for help and info on gcc ports under the native
MacOS. I have gotten a number of replies in return, and all pointing
to the stupidity of Apple which led to the lack of support from the
FSF. Anyway, it seems that gcc has been ported to the mpw platform!!!
It can be found in apple.com in the pub/gnu.mpw directory.
There are two files - one is a 4 Meg and the other is about 1.5 Meg, I think.
Anyway, have fun. And thanks to the folks who actually ported it...
Now how about GhostScript, GnuMake, GDB, GCC++, etc etc etc...

OPTIONS: NOACK LOG SHORT NOTEBOOK ALL X25
Hello,
I am sending out for help on behalf of a heretic IBM-PC user,
who is slowly coming to reason.
He has just been dealing with a Laserwriter II ntx problem:
At startup, the status sheets informs him that he has 3Meg of Ram,
but when he starts downloading Adobe Poscripts fonts, using the
appropriate adobe software on the IBM PC, the program returns
that there is only 1.3meg available.
Where have the 1.7meg gone?
How memory sensitive is the printing process: ie
what can you achieve with 1.3meg, what does the extra memory
really allow you to do?
How much memory does one typical text page uses?
etc...
If anybody has any experience in this domain, please get in touch.
Keep my atempt of conversion alive, save Apple from ridicule.
yours,

Subject: New release of PS-EXPRES
Release 2.1 of PS-EXPRES is now available.
It has the following improvements:
- A new form, equity, is produced by NSFForms.
- The cover page includes the newly required
anti-drug statement.
- A new program, pluck, is provided as an alternative
to psrev which was UNIX-specific.
- The -o output switch was provided for collate
and pssqw.
- A miscomputation of Total equipment on budget
page 1 in the spread sheets was corrected.
- The *** signs in signature boxes were
eliminated, reducing the need for the -s switch in
NSFForms.
- The & style keys can be used in Excel spread
sheets now.
- The & style keys allow the explicit mention of a
form.
- The -d switch will print out the numbers in
pennies regardless of input.
- The Abstract can be included in spread sheets.
- Page numbers can be specified for each form.
- Multiple lines are allowed for
INVESTIGATOR_INSTITUTION
- Title lines on the budget pages have been
centered.
- Spelling and spacing errors have been
corrected.
- The needless notations like APPENDIX III on the
tops of forms have been removed.
- On UNIX and IBM PC systems NSFForms will
look for NSFForms.sps and NSFForms.ini in different
places than the current directory.
There are different ways to obtain the software depending upon your
computing circumstances. In each case, you will receive a file guide.ps
which you should print on a PostScript printer, and read for further
instructions.
1. Macintosh and PC users can request a disk by sending email to
ps-expres@andrew.cmu.edu
or regular mail to
PS-EXPRES
Information Technology Center
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, PA 15213
Be sure to specify Mac or PC and the disk size.
2. People with NSFNet/ARPANet connections can get the code in source
and executable form via FTP. First, connect with a particular
machine at CMU by typing the following commands:
ftp 128.2.12.15
ftp>Name: anonymous
ftp>Password: anythingyoulike
ftp>prompt
ftp>ascii
ftp>cd common
ftp>mget *
ftp>cd ..
This will retrieve files everyone needs.
If you simply want to run the software, copy everything
from the appropriate machine-specific
binary directory below. For example, to retrieve
the PC executable programs type
ftp>binary
ftp>cd pc
ftp>mget *
ftp>cd ..
ftp>ascii
The machine-specific directories are:
mac (apply BinHex 4.0 to files after retrieving)
pc
rt (apply chmod +x after retrieving)
sun3 (apply chmod +x after retrieving)
vax-unix (apply chmod +x after retrieving)
We haven't figured out how to distribute VMS
binaries yet, so VMS users will have to rebuild
the software themselves.
The following directories contain document
processor templates for proposals:
scribe
tex
latex
troff
For example, to retrieve the tex template, type
ftp>cd tex
ftp>mget *
ftp>cd ..
You may also want to retrieve a set of blank
forms used by the processor templates by
typing
ftp>cd blanks
ftp>mget *
ftp>cd ..
If you want to modify or rebuild the software retreive
the source code by typing
ftp>cd src
ftp>mget *
ftp>cd ..
The src directory contains
SREADME: instructions for building
executables
C-Programs and Header files: *.c and *.h
UNIX-specific files: Makefile
VMS-specific files: compile.com, descrip.mms
Macintosh-specific files:
*.r, NSFForms.make, nsfmenus.c,
window.c, nsfwndw.h
PC-specific files: *.MAK

Subject: Save A Tree - Unix version?
Hi,
I have tried recently the utility Save A Tree and was impressed by its capabilities.
Now, I was wondering if such an utility existed already for Unix. I wrote to
its author and he told me that Save A Tree was indeed based an a Unix utility called
enscript. I would like to get it or any other software that has the same
features. Could someone point me out where I can find this?

Subject: Schedule planner
We need to schedule instrument days over a period of a few weeks. At present
we cut up bits of paper the size repesenting the number of days and shuffle
them around on a large calender (cute uh ?). There must be a Macintosh way
to create such a simple schedule.

Thank you,
