Subject: About Temperament 2
Info-mac,
A while ago I ftp-ed a copy of John Rotenstein's
excellent little CDEV "Temperament 2" (archived as
"temperament-2.hqx"). Shortly thereafter I had occasion
to rebuild my desktop. Much to my surprise I found that
all of my "Microsoft Word 4" files had become "About
Temperament 2" files in the directory listings, and a double
click on such a file gave the infamous "application missing
or busy" dialog (monolog?) box.
A bit of checking (with some unexpected interruptions
>From Gatekeeper Aid) revealed that the "About Temperament 2"
file (type MSWD) had the entire resource fork of the CDEV
attached! This is what had confused the desktop! A bit of
careful fiddling with the desktop file in ResEdit fixed the
problem, but this probably would really perplex someone who
didn't know what to look for or do about it if found.
I suggest that someone replace the "temperament-2.hqx"
archive with one that has a more normal about file.

Subject: analog-digital software & I give up!
As to some very friendly software for this purpose, I suggest
Labview Software. I don't know if you're familiar, so I'll describe a bit:
It lets you essentially *design* your own instruments. the end result looks li
ke any other instrumental panel, escept the graphs/dials/indicators/whatever ar
e whatever you code them to be. the whole thing is built from little modules,
that you "wire" together inside. rather than being gimmicky, as I know it must
sound, it really comes accross as a rather effective programming language. an
other plus is that you aren't limited to the modules than come included, you ca
n program your own, in think c or pascal, bmw, and one or two more. if you are
further interested, I will get some pertinent addresses for you, and/or phone
numbers.
next: I give up. even the garrentied risk of sounding like a fool doesn't mat
ter: where or what or how do I find whatever it is for de - .hqx'ing files!
I can't take it any more. I looked and looked, so that I could avoid this. so
meone, anyone please! pity! tell me, let me in on this (I haven't been llokin
g much on ftp sites before this for mac software, and thus am still in the dark
)

APPLE OPENS NEW TOLL-FREE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE LINE
FOR HANDLING SALES QUESTIONS AND USER CONCERNS
CUPERTINO, California, October 29, 1990 -- Apple Computer has created
the Customer Assistance Center, a new toll-free customer relations
telephone line.
The Customer Assistance Center opens today and will be available
Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time by dialing
1-800-776-2333. All Apple customers are eligible to use the service.
The new toll-free line is not designed to be a technical support
hotline, but instead is an extension to the comprehensive Apple
customer relations effort. The Customer Assistance Center is a backup
system to the many existing forms of customer support and service
already available from Apple resellers and others. In the U.S., Apple
sells and provides support through a network of authorized Apple
dealers, higher education sales consultants, on-campus support
centers, user groups, systems integrators and consultants.
"Apple doesn't want to circumvent the reseller relationship with
the customer," said Jackie Whiting, Apple Assistance Center manager.
The Customer Assistance Center can answer questions about Apple
sales programs and policies. Owners of Apple products should call the
Customer Assistance Center when they believe their problems or
concerns are not being adequately addressed by Apple resellers or by
regularly designated support or service providers.
When customers call the toll-free number to discuss a sales or
support concern, they should be prepared to provide basic information
including a description of the problem, a list of products being used,
support sources previously contacted and the outcome of the contact.
"The Customer Assistance Center will provide an important
feedback loop for Apple, enabling us to enlarge our knowledge base and
speed our responses to customer concerns. We also want customers to
understand that Apple stands behind its sales, service and support
infrastructure. We want to address all individual complaints and
concerns effectively," said Morris Taradalsky, Apple Customer Support
Products and Services vice president.
The Customer Assistance Center includes individuals with Apple
product knowledge and diverse business and computer experience. This
team is backed by a state-of-the-art call tracking system which will
ultimately drive a report system designed to give Apple resellers
fast, detailed feedback on customer concerns.
Apple Computer, Inc., founded in 1977 and headquartered in
Cupertino, California, designed and manufactures a broad line of
personal computing products. It has sold more than 7 million personal
computers, more than 2 million printers and hundreds of thousands of
networks.

Subject: Cooperating Macs & PCs at home
I have two questions on how to effectively share resources between a
Mac + and a PC in a home environment. The situation is that a friend
has a Mac + with a 60 MB hard disk and will shortly be getting a new
PC with a large (> 300 MB) hard disk and tape backup. The questions:
1. If he gets an appletalk card for the PC, can the Mac's hard disk
be backed up on the PC's tape drive? What's the best means of
doing this? It doesn't really matter if the back up is relatively
slow.
2. How easy is it for the Mac and PC to share a good, cheap laser
printer? What's the best mechanism/printer for doing this?
Thanks for your consideration.

Subject: Hypercard locks, Pascal blanks
1] Hypercard -
Does anyone know of a way to have hypercard lock the external files
that it creates. Reason : an astromony class uses hypercard for a lab, the
results of their calculations are written into a folder on a server. The world
must have read and write access to this folder for hypercard to write to it. A
student was playing and trashed the folder. All results, grades, were lost. A
simple solution would be to have hypercard lock the text file after it writes
it. Thus giving an alert if someone tries to trash it. Any suggestions?
2] Pascal - Spreadsheet Revisited.
Using LSP 2.03, I have a 2-D array of real. Is there a way I can
represent a blank in the array, or some value that is not a number ? I need to
look at this value in an if statement to decide weather to do calculations.

Subject: Large scale text analysis
Hi Netland!
A researcher at our site has come into > 100,000 pages of text that she would
like to analyze. Without reading and digesting every single word we would like
to be able to characterize the general flow of the content and then zero in on
specific passages that relate to concepts that interest us.
My question is, what software is available that will assist in such a task?
Either commercial or PD is welcome. We are aware of the (excellent) stack
Texas and the successors released by Mark Zimmerman and have used those in the
past. But, we're wondering how it'll do when fed 20 megs of text so we're
curious to know what other tools are available. Oh, I should say that this has
to run on a Mac Plus. Our funds allow a large hard drive and a RAM upgrade but
no new CPU.
Our feed for Info-Mac is a little spotty so please reply directly to me and
I'll summarize to the net should anything turn up.

The Latest Word.
A little known research and development company has
announced a major breakthrough in speech recognition
software. Emerson & Stern's "Soliloquy" uses a method based
on the way the human vocal tract produces spoken words.
With this new approach, Soliloquy can recognize voices of
children and people with accents or colds. The method is
CPU and RAM intensive, and Emerson & Stern recommend the
minimum processor should be a 68040 running at 25 MHz. The
demonstration code is in the form of C routines written for
the Macintosh. On a Macintosh IIci the software has a
vocabulary of about 200 words. Experts say that a
vocabulary of 1,000 words would be sufficient for 95 percent
of most people's everyday conversation and 2,000 words would
be adequate for 99 percent of ordinary conversation.
Soliloquy offers a real possibility of conversing naturally
with computers within a few years. - PC Week 1 October
128 Mbyte 3.5 inch Drive.
Most Inc., a subsidiary of Nakamichi Peripherals, will
market a $2,500 magnito-optical disk drive sometime during
the Winter. The rewritable 3.5 inch media is expected to
sell for about $128. The drive's average seek time is 35
milliseconds and average data access time is 47
milliseconds. The drive will be fully compatible with the
emerging ANSI standard and future versions are planed with a
capacity of up to 512 Mbytes. - InfoWorld 24 September
True "Notebook" Computing.
NCR will bring a four pound pen-based notebook PC to Fall
Comdex for private showings. The pen-based system promises
to automate such paper intensive tasks as field data
collection and inventory management. NCR's active digitizer
is said to be more "paperlike" than the glass surface used
by the Grid pen-based system. If NCR decides to put their
"Handwriter" into production, it should be shipping by
Spring Comdex. - PC Week 8 October
Flash Cards.
Volume quantities of Intel's one and four Mbyte non-volatile
Flash Memory IC cards should be shipping by Christmas. The
cards can revise and store applications and sequential
files. At present, the cards cannot rewrite data at the
file level (one file per card; revising requires rewriting
the entire file). The cards should be a boon to laptop
users; no battery backup is required for code retention.
- InfoWorld 8 October
Apple II Compatibility.
The "no compromises" Apple II card for the Macintosh
promised by John Sculley appears to represent a substantial
compromise. The under $200 NuBus board has been announced
as an Apple //e card which will not support recent Apple
IIgs applications. The card isn't expected to ship until
next March and will have a connector on the back for a 5.25
inch disk drive. - PC Week 1 October
50 MHz i486.
Intel expects volume production of the 50 MHz version of the
i486 CPU sometime in the second quarter of 1991. The speedy
processor will be offered in a highly integrated module that
will include an internal 256K static RAM cache with a cache
controller. Performance is expected to exceed that of the
33 MHz version of the i486 by as much as 50 percent.
Anticipated prices for most 50 MHz i486 systems are expected
to be in the $8,000 range. - PC Week 1 October

New Windows.
An upgrade to Microsoft Windows 3.0 may ship during the
first half next year (recall that this product, first
announced in 1984, helped to popularize the term
"vaporware"). Windows 3.1 will feature True Type scalable
fonts, but difficulty developing this technology have been
reported. Version 3.1 will also have shell improvements,
greater network support, and "richer imaging." Chairman
Bill Gates predicts more than 1,500 applications developed
for Window's graphic environment by next year.

Macintosh System 7 Delayed Again (What Else is New?).
The good news is that System has gone from alpha to beta.
The bad news is that beta testing typically takes six
months. Apple has announced another postponement of the
product until "the first half of next year." It appears the
product will miss it's originally planned shipping date
(last summer) by about a year.
- PC Week and InfoWorld 24 September
Windows Under OS/2
OS/2 eventually will run Windows applications code without
modification using a binary compatibility layer to map
Window's into Presentation Manager. The extra layer of
software will cause some loss of performance. OS/2 version
3 will be designed to run Windows applications directly from
OS/2 without performance degradation (which raises the
question - is PM necessary?). Microsoft chairman, Bill
Gates, also says that the plan is to include both Adobe Type
Manager and True Type in OS/2. Also in the works is
"portable" OS/2 (also known as OS/2 "New Technology") which
will be designed to port to multiple processors including
Motorola 68000 and 88000 families (OS/2 on a Mac?).

I believe Brainpower of Agoura, CA, at least once marketed an application
which would read a PICT file (and possibly also MacPaint and TIFF) and
convert a line graph to X/Y coordinate points.
MacWeek reviewed this some time ago, and said it basically worked, with
some rough edges.
Unfortunately, I don't have Brainpower's number at hand (here at home),
but if you can't find it any other way, let me know and I'll try to locate
it for you. They marketed Abacus' original StatView program, so their
ads should litter old Mac mags :-), although I suspect calling Directory
Information might be quicker.
Good luck!

Subject: pads
If you want a really cool super-huge pad, check out Wacom. I don't
know if they sell Mac software, or perhaps it can emulate one of the
other pads. Another guy in my lab has been using it on a unix
workstation, and it's pretty cool.
Subj: digitizing on the Mac
I use FlexiGraph to digitize graphs on the Mac (using the mouse)
that I have scanned in with a scanner. FlexiGraph is currently
being improved and the digitizing feature is being enhanced.
Still at $149 (ComputerWare) it is already worth the price, if
you have a scanner.
Subj: Tablets
We have a Summagraphics tablet (MacTablet -- I think it's out of date by
now), with which we're extremely happy. We use it mostly to digitize
measurements made through a microscope.
I have a program a buddy wrote called "fromplot" that creates a file of
points from the tablet. Frankly I haven't used it, but I know that it
comes from a program written by an excellent programmer. I think it's in
basic. It's definitely a hack, but if you don't run across anything else
let me know.
I have IGOR, but I just got it and haven't had time to see if it has this
feature. If it does, it would be in one of the custom XOP's they provide.
Wavemetrics is reachable on the net as WaveMetrics@AppleLink.Apple.Com, and
they've been quite responsive via EMail.
-Bill Williams
I have been using an application called FlexiGraphs
[TreeStar, Inc., 1802 Hillside road, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
(805)682-4096] to digitize (using the mouse) graphs that are
scanned in using a scanner. FlexiGraphs ($149 @ ComputerWare) was
originally aimed at the business graphics market with the ability
to digitize scanned images a quickie add hacque (according to the
author). The product is current being revised and upgraded to aim
more at scientific and engineering graphics with an improvement
in the digitizing feature; the developer found more technical
types bought the product for the digitizing than did business
types for the graphing.
I think this is a better solution than a digitizing tablet,
because you can also use a scanner for other tasks, but
digitizing tablets are pretty dedicated pieces of hardware.
