To work with .Z files, get MacCompress-3.2 from the archives. Easy to use --
just make sure the file names end in .Z. Decompression often results in a .tar
file. For these, use tar-2.0 from the archives. Both are in the /info-mac/util/
directory.

Subject: 8*24 GC card Problems
Hi there!
I had experienced the following incompatibility with the 8*24 GC on a Mac IIci
Configuration Softwear-----> (System 6.05, finder, 8*24 GC init cdev)
Hardwear-----> Nec MacSync, pluged in the 8 bit card from apple
(Yes, three cards...the built in card, 8 bit card, and the 8*24 GC card)
1) Virtual memory dosent work
2) I have a MacCache card from UR*MICRO. If the card is on the slot, I got the
welcome message, but the mac stops working there.
So in order to make it work I have to take away the Cavhe Card and
turn off Virtual memory.
I'd been doing some tests with claris cad and i didn't found any
diferences with or without the 8*24 GC card. Are there any
softwear now, that takes advantage of the card?
Any comentaries,sujestions ?
Thanks in advance! Carlos Reed

> ....
This problem is NOT inherent in the 680x0 architecture. The 680x0
processor has 32-bit address registers and 32-bit data registers (eight of
each). An addressing mode exists (address register indirect with index)
which uses as the address the sum of three items: the contents of an
address register, the contents of an index register (either an address or
data register can be used as an index register; it is treated as a signed
32-bit integer), and a signed 8-bit displacement. This instruction is
capable of addressing an array of 2,147,483,648 (2~31) bytes (assuming that
the base address is contained in an address register and the offset is
contained in an index register). Any limitations on the array size are
either in the Macintosh operating system (the memory manager routines?) or
the language compiler.
It is the 8086 and 80286 architecture which has the inherent 64k
limitation. The 80386 has major architectural changes which have remedied
this problem.

I think the bug is that this works AT ALL. Tom's programmed an endless loop by
sending a message (doMenu "Message") which he also has a handler for, which
ends up sending the message again. Messages sent from a stack script go first
to the current card script, then to the background, then the stack, and then on
to Home and HC. This is a useful and important feature of HyperCard, not a bug.
A correct way to implement his design is:
on messkit -- this is in the stack script
beep -- for effect...
send "DoMenu" && quote & "message" & quote to HyperCard
end messkit
This will prevent the message from going through the background script again.
As far as Apple being unresponsive goes, I agree completely. It's too bad that
they don't respond better. Still, their response is better than a lot of
companies.
Hope this helps.

The FTP SITES list which appeared in number 188 of the Digest is an old list

Macintosh files. For example, arisia.xerox.com lists nothing in its mac

a number of sites such as doc.cso.uiuc.edu, in the pc+mac directory, under the

re - Script bug in HyperCard 2.0
I'm sorry to say that it's not possible for us to respond to all of the
bug reports personally. The charitable assumption, of course, is that
we're spending our time fixing them and implementing our next new features.
Let me suggest that in the future you send bug reports for HyperCard to
HYPERBUG$@applelink.apple.com and SNOWBUG@applelink.apple.com. This will
ensure that you bug report is filed in the HyperCard bugbase, and that one
of the members of our test team will become its champion. Sending them
directly to one of the engineers is risky -- you're relying on diligence
that goes far beyond the call of duty. I know that Steve, Martin, and I
have been doing our best to respond to bug reports that come to us via
e-mail, but it's really easier for all parties concerned if you go through
the channels that our test team has established.
Steve and I looked at your bug report and classified it as serious but not
fatal -- therefore, we didn't fix it for 2.0v2, for which we were given just
enough time to handle the fatal bugs. Until we fix it, you can use the
following workaround:
In the background script:
on doMenu what
if what is "message" then
-- do the messkit stuff
beep
send the params to HyperCard
else pass doMenu
end doMenu
Thanks for sending us the bug report. We'll fix it, I promise. In the
meantime, I hope this helps.

Subject: Macps problems
Hey ho....
We have a LaserWriter II NT hanging off of a SUN 3/50 running
SUN OSv3.5. We use the spooling kit lwp from LWkit. When trying
to print PostScript files created on a Mac (by using the infamous
clover-F), we use the well-known macps facility (on the SUN) to
tack the LaserPrep file on the front (people having done this will
understand all this stuff).
Our problem is with the resulting output from macps. The file
contains some strange '\435414' characters at the beginnings of
certain lines in the LaserPrep portion of the file. Oddly enough,
I can't find any such beasts in the original PS file, in the LaserPrep
file or anywhere in the source code (or .h files) of macps. So,
my question is: Where is this coming from, why are they included by
macps and why does my laser printer not like them ("undefined: 414")?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Programming Q: shifted fill?!
If I create a region by drawing four lines of width 3 in the
shape of a rectangle, and then use the FillRgn command, the top and left
lines will be drawn over by the fill pattern. This is caused because
regions are created using 0 (or 1, depending on how you look at it) line
width whenever a lineto is issued, even though what appears on the
screen is the actual line width to the right and beneath the line being
drawn(IM I-150). The references to an x line width is a PenSize(x,x) --
a square.
I want the fill to occur within the frame, as all fills should.
So why don't I fill it and then frame the region? Because if I only
want 3 sides (frames) of the rectangle, I won't get it.
The only thing I can come up with is to shrink the region by a
pixel number of half the line width and then offset it by the line width
amount. This raises the problem of odd line widths, in which case I
cannot shrink lines by half pixels.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and will receive a personal
thank you note. Or if you don't understand the problem, but still want
to help out, let me know, and I will try to re-phrase it.

Just thought you would like to know that I did some further experimenting,
and that the 'Option-Copy' trick DOES work to convert FreeHand graphics
into EPSF files that can be pasted into Word. If your graphic contains a
TIFF file (and, I presume, some other formats), however, you must convert
the graphic into an EPSF file FIRST, as described in my last message.
Intuitively obvious, wasn't it...?
Thanks again to those that responded.

Subject: uEmacs Manual
I have Micro Emacs 3.9e July 10 1988, by Lawrence, Horton, Bernard and
Brecher. I find it very good---especially for search and replace, and
because of its macro facilities, and because it can read files written
by some other applications easily ... though it's a bit un-Mac like in
its interface.
However, I've never had the manual---so if anyomne has the manual (or
for that matter a newer version of Micro Emacs for the Mac), could
they please email it to me.
Donald Peterson.
