Subject: [*] Free Text v1.02 files for archive
Please post the following file, approx. 258kB long, to the archives.
I would suggest the file name "freetext102.sit.hqx". The file includes
version 1.02 of my "Free Text" indexer/browser "real-time high-bandwidth
free-text information retrieval system", plus complete source code to
the external functions used by the HyperCard stacks to do the indexing
and browsing functions. See the earlier postings of "Free Text" (versions
1.0 and 1.01) for descriptions of the system. Please remove copies of
those earlier versions from the archives. The new version fixes several
typographic errors in the documentation, and updates my mailing address,
but does not include significant functional changes from version 1.01;
users who are happy with that version need not bother downloading the
new version 1.02. Thank you for your help in maintaining the archives
and in sharing my software. "Free Text" is free, in the GNU/Stallman/FSF
sense of the word.

Subject: Cache cards, disk labelers, accounting, backup systems, etc.
This posting contains responses to messages from a few digests:
RE: Disk Labelers
Ideaform has a great disk labeling utility called Mac Labeler Plus.
I can print to either ImageWriters or LaserWriters. You can buy
labels from Ideaform, or for use on an ImageWriter, you can buy
the Avery brand 3 1/2 inch disk labels (stock number 4241).
Mac Labeler Plus lets you customize labels with icons, you can
place file names just about anywhere, use borders, patterns, and a
lot more. I like it and it works on all Macs (at least I know it
works on a IIci).
RE: Backup Systems
On the subject of backing up large hard drives, I have a Quantum
105 in my IIci, and I also got very tired of backing up to
floppies. Even using 1.44 mb floppies, backing up took over an
hour (about 48-58 mb). So, after considering a tape backup
system, I decided instead to purchase a Syquest removable hard
drive. I can now backup to 2 Syquest cartridges, finishing a
complete backup of 60 mb in less than 10 minutes using DiskFit
1.5.1. BTW: I own the Mirror Technologies RM42, which I feel is
one of the best (if not the best) Syquest drive available,
considering price, quality and support. Current price is $677.00.
Besides speed, using a Syquest drive to backup has one big
advantage...you have another hard drive that acts like a big,
fast floppy disk drive! In addition, if my internal HD dies, I can
use the Syquest as a spare drive. It makes a lot of sense to use
a Syquest drive as a backup system.
RE: Accounting Packages
Quicken is not an accounting package. It DOES NOT perform
General Ledger or Accounts Receivable/Payable. It is more of an
"computer checkbook." As a checkbook program, it is fantastic.
RE: IIci Cache Cards
I know of people who like the Daystar card. It has 64K, and
performs well. It is the most expensive of the bunch, however.
I bought the Micron card from Mac Connection for $589. It has
128K of SRAM, and performs just as well (if not better) as the
Daystar card. I believe that Dove and another company also have
64K cache cards.
I have heard rumors of problems with the Apple cache card. It has
32K of SRAM and is cheaper than the 3rd party cards (surprise!).
Unfortunately, I don't know what the problems are. I have heard
that the cards causes the IIci to bomb on occasion. That's all
I've heard.
RE: Mouse Cleaners for Mac II's
The newer Mac II's come with smaller mouse balls. Curtis makes
a mouse cleaner just like the old Ergotron cleaner, and it comes
with two balls, one to fit older mice as well as a small one to
fit newer ones. Perhaps Ergotron sold the rights to the product
to Curtis??

Subject: How to detect color monitors in HyperCard?
Greetings:
I am currently in the process of updating a HyperCard stack for our public
Macintosh network that details a few tricks for using Word 4.0 effectively on
that network--things like printing, resident fonts, etc etc. Yesterday, I had
a horrible thought, though--none of the snazzy frivolous visual effects I put
into the stack will function on a color monitor! This is a problem, as
roughly half our public and administrative Macs have color monitors.
Admittedly, some of the aforementioned effects ARE frivolous, but a lot of them
are also intrgral to the pacing of the stack and might be crucial to users new
to Word or the Mac.
I have seen commercial HyperCard stacks that somehow detect whether or not
there is a color monitor and, if so, whether that monitor is in two-color mode.
I assume this is accomplished through an XFCN or XCMD, but a quick perusal
through Sumex-aim and a few other archives did not reveal a nice freeware (or
even shareware) version of what I would like. So, my question:
Does anybody out there know where I can find a HyperCard XFCN or XCMD that
tests whether a color monitor is in use? Please send replies to me, and I'll
summarize to individuals or the net if someone asks me to...
Thanks in advance--

Subject: Mac Batch Language ??
Yo, NetFolk:
I run a departmental lab with a small mac-laserwriter network. Two of our
Macs have hard disks, and general access to apps on these is controlled by the
Oasis menu system.
Every so often, though, I need to make a small interactive program for
various users to do such things as copy a file to a predetermined directory,
or similarly simple things. For this kind of thing I'd like a rough Mac-
equivalent to the DOS batch language--i.e., simple, small, and capable of
handling user responses as variables for various operations. Oasis doesn't
support macros, nor have we a copy of any of the commercial Mac macro
programs.
Suggestions?? (preferably freeware or shareware) Reply to me and I'll
summarize as needed.

Subject: Mainframe-style Editing
Hello Murph and Netters,
I think you will be most happy with an Emacs editor. The Emacs available
for the Macintosh (at least under some Finder-variant OS) is MicroEmacs.
The latest version is 3.10, but this is VERY buggy (last time I tried it
at least) and I would recommend using 3.9 which is very stable.
The reason to use Emacs? I can think of two. The first is that some form
of Emacs runs on almost any machine you can think of. I have seen Emacs
programs running on PC clones, the Mac, every unix machine I have ever
heard of, the Cray X-MP, and VAXes running VMS. Most of the flavors are
quite similar, and all of them have a method for changing which keys run
what functions so if you have two different flavors on your different
machines, you can fix the keydefs to be the same on both.
The other reason is that the grandaddy Emacs, GNU Emacs, is arguably the
best editor in existence. It has an extensive programming language (I
have seen programmable calculators, spreadsheets, and the Towers of Hanoi
game running in Emacs buffers using this feature), column editing, smart
search-and-replace, an online help facility, and editing support for C,
Fortran, Lisp, TeX, and several other languages (i.e. it will automatically
indent as you code, and check for syntax errors.) Emulations exist to
make it run like the other popular mainframe editors, vi and EDT.
To summarize, Emacs will do what you want because it will run on any machine
you are likely to encounter, and if you can run GNU Emacs you can do almost
anything already, and if not you can program it.

I'm thinking of making two purchases and was wondering if anyone has had any
positive/negative experiences with these (unrelated) topics.
1) Mind Your Own Business - My wife has her own tutoring service that she
runs out of our home. I've sent $5 in to get a demo disk, which will give
me an idea of how the program works, but I'd like to know if anyone has
used it long enough to determine if it is worth the cost.
2) iDS PRO or Wip 100 - My IIcx's internal 40Mb hard drive has filled up
quickly, and I need to expand. I like the looks of the 105 Mb Wip drive,
which iDS says runs great on a IIcx (pulls power from the floppy port).
I know the Wip is not available until mid-October or so, but in general,
how are the iDS drives, and how is their support?
Thank you for your replies. Please send them directly to me and I'll
summarize to the net, if there is interest.

Gary:
I have had no problem with the production version of OnCue (1.3) and
Multifiner 6.05. Perhaps you need to use a production, rather than a
demo version.
Also, I'm not sure I understand the nature of your problem. I wasn't
aware that you could attach individual desk accessories to OnCue.
Could you please explain a little more.
I have, however, had a problem with OnCue and MS Word. It seems that
OnCue under Multifinder uses the same key sequence for moving between
applications that MS Word uses for a non-breaking hyphen...command-`.
I solved this problem by changing OnCue's key sequence to something I
don't believe anyone uses...command-space.

Subject: Possible HyperCard 1.2.5 bug
In Info-Mac Digest v8 n153, you asked why your visual effects don't work on
your Mac II. This is not a bug, but a limitation of pre-2.0 HyperCard. The
visual effects work only when the monitor is set for black & white. Use the
Control Panel's Monitors icon to set your monitor to black & white mode
(called 2-color mode on old versions of the Monitors icon). Then your visual
effects will work. You'll have to use Monitors again to get back color.
Alternatively, you might want to get the Switch-A-Roo FKEY, which is very
likely in the infomac archives.

I use MacFlow 3.5 from Mainstay. Unlike most other drawing programs, this is a
virtually modeless program, which makes drawing charts blindingly fast. You
don't have to select tools, such as pointer, line tool, rectangle tool, text
tool. MacFlow is excellent for drawing flow charts, but it is also superb for
organizational charts, network diagrams, concept maps, and many other types of
schematic drawing.
What you have instead of a tools palette is a symbol palette. In addition to
the standard flow chart symbols, you can create your own, or purchase special
palettes, e.g. for electrical circuit symbols, mathematical set symbols, office
furniture, etc.
To start a chart you select a symbol, e.g. a diamond from the palette and click
anywhere in your chart--and the entire diamong is already drawn in the default
size.
You can resize it, which makes the new size the default. Just by clicking in
several more spots, you can insert additional diamonds of that size, or click
on another symbol in the symbol palette to start adding squares, circles, etc.
To connect the symbols with lines, you simply click inside the first symbol,
draw the line to the second symbol and release the mouse (no need to select a
line tool first!).
You can create lines with vertices by briefly stopping, releasing the mouse
button then holding it down again before continuing where you want vertices in
between symbols. There is an option you can select from the menu so that lines
will automatically be drawn at right angles, or your can convert a line to a
bezier curve, to give it a smooth curve or even let it take a loop.
To label the symbols, simply click in their center an start typing the text (no
need to select a text tool!).
To label a line, click on the line and start typing. You can use multiple
styles, fonts, and sizes. There is an option for symbols to grow automatically
to make the text fit inside them. To draw lines or place text independent of
symbols, hold down the option key before clicking with the mouse anywhere in
the chart.
To rearrange your chart, grab a symbol by its edge and drag it (no need to
select an arrow tool!). Lines stay connected and at right angles if that option
is selected. Clicking on the edge of a symbol also gives you handles for
resizing.
The built-in symbol editor lets you customize the behavior of symbols, e.g.
initial default size, how lines will connect to them, where text labels will be
placed, etc., and it even lets you install into your savable symbol palettes
such things as PICT images and PostScript graphics created in MacPaint or in
Canvas, for example.
To any symbol you can attach a nested chart, a comment (text window) or another
application. Menu selections let you highlight the symbols that have a comment,
a nested chart, or an application attached.
Double-clicking such a symbol to open the nested chart, the comment window, or
to sublaunch the application. This neat feature is useful to darw flow charts
of office procedures, for example. A clerk may then study the chart to
determine how to handle a special case, and, after finding the correct answer,
double click it to be transfered right into the application that handles it.
MicroMacFlow, a utility from Synergistic Applications, takes advantage of this
feature. It lets you convert your MacFlow documents into standalone executable
documents, that anyone who does not own MacFlow can view, print, and use to
navigate through nested levels and comments, and to launch applications. This
makes MacFolw also suitable as a simple authoring tool for self paced
tutorials.
I have no relationship or interest in Mainstay or Synergistic Applications
other than being a very satisfied customer and Beta tester.

1- does anybody on the net know of a Bulgarian system on the Mac. A Bulgarian
font otherwise. The script is cyrillic but contains fewer letters than Russian.
2- I now have towo systems on my hard-disk: one is English and the other one

way that the Arabic Interface System works with it. Alas I've not been able
to find anything in the TN's about it. My experiments with resedit to add

Is there a place from which I can get International resources?
3- I have a problem with my hard-disk: I get write errors. The problem started
after having taken the diskdrive to hook it up to another computer. It's
supposed to be auto-parking, it's a Seagate ST-257-1 orso. The problem is in o
nly one partition. When I try SUM II to get the system configuration I get
an Id=11 ( hardware error :=( ) . Who can tell me what the problem is?
4- I'm looking for a program to calculate loudspeaker enclosures and filters
for loudspeakers. Is there such a program on the market and where can I get it?
thanks for the reading, answer me directly please I'll summarize to the net
