Subject: [*] Carol Stack
It is Christmas time again and this stack needs to be reposted. It plays
Christmas carols. I downloaded it a couple of years ago and have added more
control and more sound samples to play the carols with. Included are the
songs Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, O Come, Angels We Have
Heard on High, O Little Town, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Silent Night, We
Wish You a Merry Christmas, Good King Wenceslaus, The First Noel, Hark The
Herald Angels Sing, and O Christmas Tree. Each can be played with any of
these instruments: Bell, Dog, Fart, Fiddle, Flute, Gong, Guitar, Moan, Piano,
Pots, Power Chord, or Space. Granted some of the sounds are questionable, but
then so is a large portion of America's population and even more so on the
net.
Share and enjoy. May the spirit of Christmas live in you all year long.

Well, I got a quick response to my query about 'scrambled' docs for the
ClockAdjust CDEV (Thanks Guys!). The problem was that the docs were
generated by MacWrite II. MS Word just can't hack the format. I'm
resubmitting the package with MS Word version of the documentation added, so
you get the ClockAdjust CDEV, MacWrite II and MS Word 3.01 format
documentation.

SignalEditor is a signal processing editor/analysis application.
Using either pre-recorded signals or recording directly from Farallon's
MacRecorder sound digitizer, SignalEditor is capable of editing and
analyzing the signals in both the time and frequency domains. Signals
can be saved in a variety of file formats, all windows can be printed,
displays can be copied to the clipboard, and computational results can
be exported to 'TEXT' files.
SignalEditor is shareware and guaranteed to occupy space, after that....

1) Ethernet communications do not seem to be supported on 7.0.. or is
it? I have a Kenetics Etherport II card.. and to tell you the truth,
with the new system, I have no idea where to put the stuff. The machine
does it for me if I ask it to (or 'OK' it...
2) We do have an apple ethernet card, which I suspect is more
supported.. updates anyone??
3)GateKeeper boots fine, but then doesn't let you do anything.. no
closing windows, no nuthin...
4) Virtual Memory.. I have a IIx, which unfortunately, has only 24bit
address ROM.. so it has a limited upward mobility for psuedo-RAM, neh?
5) speaking of which, I'm running this system off a Summis erasable
optical disk, and when I try to use VM, it happily puts up the Welcome
mat, then goes into some sort of continuous access of the disk without
ever getting anywhere.. suggestions have come in regarding possibly too
foreign a drive for this to work?? suggestions??
6) I'm going to bed.

System Enhancement:
(PD/SW)
SunDesk - (INIT) 8bit color icons and cursors - Very cool.
SunDeskStrip (APPL) Strips out all unneed icons (icl8s). With out this
your SunDesk will consume loads of memory all by itself.
ColorScreen? (cdev) Full color PICT desktops
Kolor (cdev) Colorizes menus, windows, and controls
IconColorizer (init) Replaces b/w icons with color icons
Solorian II (APPL) Best Color Arcade game ever.
DepthGuage 2.0 (cdev) A cure for the monitors cdev.
($$$)
- ClickChange (cdev) Amazing color enhancements. Adds full color windows,
controls, dialogs, and aninamated cursors. Very nice.
- AfterDark 2.0 (cdev) Best screen saver ever! Even includes c/pascal
interfaces for writing your own screen saver. If you get anything...
- Color SimCity (APPL) loads of fun.

Subject: HyperCard 2.0 scrolling field slow down
When I create a scrolling field with HyperCard 2.0, the speed with which typed
text is processed by HC slows way down from what it is if the field is not made
to scroll -- one types far ahead of the echo. When using an SE (without
Multifinder), typing any but the shortest text entries becomes a major pain,
almost to the point of finding HyperCard 2.0 useless for significant text work.
The speed of scrolling text entry does NOT slow down like this with HyperCard
1.2.2 (the latest version I have in the 1 series).
Does anyone know if there is some way to avoid this slow down with HC2.0 when
using an SE? Could this be a bug in 2.0, or, perhaps, in my copy of 2.0? It's
difficult to believe that Apple would settle for such an obvious performance
problem. If this is the way it's going to be, HC2.0 can really only be a
practical system on 68020 machines and above.

I really HATE Apple for doing this. Two conclusions can be drawn from
it: either Apple's drives are inferior to IBM's or the idea is to force
users to purchase the much more expensive high density disks.
Having used a large number of DS/DD diskettes from reputable manufacturers,
formatted at 1.44 MB, on MessyDOS bonafide IBM machines (PS/30, 50, 55,
70 and 80's) with NO problems and NO data loss, I'm not convinced of the
'data loss when formatted at higher densities' blurb from the retailers.
I really would prefer the decision to risk my information when doing this
left to ME, instead of the operating system or hardware.

We have been refilling our LaserWriter Plus cartridges for a long time and

Date sent: 29-NOV-1990 06:59:05
Friends,
My friends in the humanities, specifically our Modern Languages Department,
have decided to abandon their PCs for Macintosh computers. Their review of
educational advancements in their world pointed to Macintosh and programs
like Hypercard. I wrote to my friend David Herron at Middlebury College
who recommended that I not consider the LC but turn my attention to the SE/
30. The IIsi might also be a possibility but it is pricey. My
understanding from following notes in this digest is that Hypercard will
not soon support color. If Hypercard is the dominant program, then why buy
a color mac? I would appreciate your comments and suggestions. If you
send to me directly, I will post replies on this list. Thanks.

I've had terrible luck with MacProducts. I ordered a non-terminated tape
drive from them last year and was promised delivery in "about a month".
3 months and several (long distance) phone calls later (they wouldn't connect
me to customer assistance if I called their toll free line) the drive arrived -
with internal terminators. It also had the wrong style SCSI connector (I specified
a pair of 50-pins, they said "no problem" - it came with a single 25 pin.)
After returning the drive, it took two months of almost daily hounding to
get them to credit my credit card. I'll never buy anything there again.
Dr. Mac and Mac Avenue tend to be on the expensive side. I don't know how
their support is.
Shreve Systems (I don't have the number or address handy, but they advertise
in the back of MacUser magazine) seem pretty good. I bought a used machine
>From them about a year ago and have been happy with them. The only complaint
I have about Shreve is they don't ship system software with the machine, but
then again, nobody but Apple probably does, for legal reasons.

Subject: Phantom Clock on Mac IIsi?
One of the faculty members in our department just bought a
new Mac IIsi, and is complaining about the small dots that
appear at intervals along the very top of the menu. Upon
investigating the problem I found that by reducing the
number of colors (using the Monitors CDEV) the spacing of
the dots would change and the dots would grow larger, now
clearly visible as small clocks giving the time. Changing
the color setting to black and white made just one clock
appear at the right of the memu bar, now full size and
similar in appearance to clock produced by the SuperClock
CDEV.
But the SuperClock CDEV was not on the Mac! I tried killing all
the inits and still the phantom clock appears. On startup, I
noticed that a very small "T" would appear in the upper right
corner of the screen during the startup sequence, BEFORE any
inits were loaded.
Does anyone know where this clock is coming from (is it in
the new 512K ROMs, or in System 6.0.7?), and better yet, is
there any way to kill it, as the user plans to use the color
monitor and finds the dots distracting? We tried reinstalling
the System and the phantom clock is still there. Any assistance
would be appreciated.

Subject:Re>Jclock remover
easiest way to remove the version of Jclock that has "infected" your friend's
system is to use Font/DA Mover and pull all the fonts and DAs out of the
system file. Boot from the System installer disks and throw away the system
file on the hard disk. Use the installer to reinstall the system and then use
font da mover to re-install the fonts and DAs that were in the original Jclock
infested system. I know, it's low tech but it for sure works.

When I worked at Georgia Tech we had devices that you stuck on the side
of the computer/printer/monitor/etc and had a loop that you could run a
cable/lock through. They attached with some sort of very string adhesive
(I don't belive you could have removed them without breaking the side of
the case). Unfortunately I can't seem to find a dealer here in
Huntsville who knows about them.

Subject: Two Questions...
I have a couple of questions:
Is it possible, using resedit, to alter the font used in the menu bar,
to make it a bit smaller? Resedit allows the STYLE of the fonts WITHIN
menus (cut, copy, paste, for example) to, say, condensed, but when I try
to alter the actual menu name (edit, for example) the style of the text
can no longer be changed (the style menu on resedit becomes disabled).
Any hints?
My second question is this: I own a SE with 1 meg (I know, I know, megs
are down to $39, so what the hell am I waiting for...) and a Quantum 40.
Whenever I copy a file from one disk to another, and sometimes when I
quit from a program, saving the changes I made, to the finder, there is
an excruciatingly long pause while the hard drive flashes a bit and the
wristwatch icon sits there. Sometimes the delay is ten seconds long or
more! It occurs after the finder returns to the screen; it is the last
thing that happens before the arrow cursor reappears and I regain
control of the computer. It might help if I said that it seems like the
