Subject: Binhex Problems
<<<< Failure in Decode Binhex >>>>
There occurs errors when I decode HQX from Macserve.
I decode it by Stuffit 1.5
The error message is CRC check error both resource and data fork.
would you give me some help for this problem?
[First off, ditch 1.5 and get 1.5.1 from the archive (switch that,
reverse it). 1.5 has some nasty bug in it. Then check the file for
line lengths. Any long or short lines means a bad transfer. Pull the
headers off the mail message so the the binhex header is the first line.

Subject: CD-ROM Drive for Mac and PC
Greetings all,
I have been assigned to research the purchase of a CD-ROM drive for our Faculty
Lab. I've checked up on those available, and had pretty much come to a decision
when an additional requirement was made. The CD-ROM drive has to be usable on
either a Macintosh or an IBM-PC system.
I'm fairly ignorant of the IBM side of the world. Can IBM-PC's use SCSI devices
directly? Is there some way to set up a switch to swap the drive between
systems, or would it be necessary to physically hook/unhook it each time we
needed to change it over? Are there any units that are particularly suited to
this sort of configuration?
Any and all suggestions and information are greatly appreciated.

Sometime ago (at least a year or two) a very nice two page chart

Subject: Errors when decoding .hqx files
Hello David,
Read your message with interest, and felt I just had to respond to it...
The problem you described has happened to me a lot...
The reason is: Lots of times the actual file will be sent to you in a number
off smaller parts, just because the original file is too big to handle...
The file you want may also be uploaded to the archive in more than 1 section,
in which case you even have to ask for more than 1 file...
Well, normally these files should be glued together before one can actually
un-binhex them. This usually means you have to start up an editor, try to
find out in which order the sections should be glued together, load the
first file, insert the others, remove all mail-headers etc...
The best way to upload a long file to the archives is (at least that's my
opinion):
1) Make a StuffIt 1.5.1 Archive containing the files to be uploaded
2) Use StuffIt's 'Set Segment Size' option under the 'Other' menu to set
the segment-size to let's say 50K, then select 'Segment' under 'Option'.
The archive (.sit) will now be broken into as many segments as needed
3) Use (again under the 'Option' menu) the option 'Encode BinHex File' to
create a binhex-file out of each and every segments
4) Upload all binhex-files
This way, when someone downloads a file, each and every segment.hqx can be
(StuffIt, Option menu, option 'Decode BinHex File') un-binhex-ed
independently,
and no CRC-errors will occur... Whe all segments have been received and un-
binhex-ed, one will end up with a number of StuffIt segments, that can be
glued by the 'Join' command. Join will regenerate the original archive out
of all segments, and eventually, you may choose (File Menu) Open Archive to
unStuff it all.
I wish all uploaders would use this method... It would save the rest a lot
of time, and anger!
[Personally, I prefer to encode the file and then break it up. That way
we can run some programs we have here on the file to verify its
integrity and repartition it up into our "optimal" size pieces. -- Jon]

Adam van Gaalen.

Mike,
You may want to have a look at SUM II's "SUM Tune Up" program. It
includes an option for writing a series of 1's and 0's to your volume.
You can specify all 0's or random 1's and 0's, and how many times you'd
like it to repeat the cycle.
I don't know if the NSA has signed off on it.

It can take a MacPaint image and write it back out as a MacII - style startup

I was just wondering if any of you Mac gurus could tell me how to solve this
simple problem:
I'm working in a genetics lab and I want to devise a program to make all the
calculations for me for each generation, etc. To do so, I just want to enter
the data (after scoring my flies) and let the program run. I want to know the
gene frequency, viability, and some percentages.
To simplify what I'm trying to say, I want to know if there's a program out in
the market which will let me "program" objectively, without knowing Pascal, C,
or other languages.
I want Excel features, but specified for a certain procedure, so I can just use
the mouse to click on a certain cross and find the results and interpretation
(which I can, with the help of the program I'm talking about, "program" via
mathematical expressions). Excel is just to broad of a program for me to use,
and it's too messy, too. I want statistical features, too, or at least the a-
vailable math expressions so I can calculate the statistics myself.
Thanks for the help, and I hope I got my point across clearly enough.

Hi Macxperts,
I'm considering buying a low end laser printer, along the lines of the HP

a priority now, but I would like to be able to upgrade in the future. I'm
not aware of there being an option for the GCC to do this currently - the
other two I know can. I'd like to get recommendations from people who've
actually used these with a Mac. I'm using a Mac II, and the printing I do
will be mostly text, with some MacDraw stuff; not a high percentage of
graphics right now.
I'd appreciate any comments people have about these and other printers.

>From what I have read about MacinTalk, the two main problems are:
a) Apple doesn't have the source code for it, and
b) it breaks the Sound Manager.
If you use Macintalk with the newer System software, you lose your beep sounds,

Seems to me what we really need right now is a MacinTalk *replacement* that
uses the Sound Manager. With the proliferation of digitizers, it shouldn't be
that big a deal to record the basic phonemes ("s", "th", "n", etc.) and put

Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)
Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse
fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a
ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this
procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by
properly trained personnel.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining
the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and
harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ
depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be
replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced
using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static
sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden
discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be
used immediately.
It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls
for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any
customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of
removing these necessary items.
To re-order, specify one of the following:
P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls

that text entry is what I do most when away from my desk. An Outbound or a

Subject: Strange behavior
Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this behavior. My Mac keeps
forgetting things. At first I couldn't believe it, since it was my wife who was
complaining that she had made some change to a document (WriteNow 2.0) only to
later find the change no longer there. I scolded her about her multiple copies
of files, and thought she was opening up an older version, etc.
Then we had some problems with HyperCard. I wrote a text file importation
script that reads a text file, line by line, and if the first character is
either a "$" or a "~" then that line gets put in a field on a card. Again, it
seemed that the script was skipping some lines, and I attributed it to my
wife not being careful enough about entering the "$" or "~" tags. But then I
tried importing the file into the same stack, on a different Mac, and it didn't
skip any lines!
More recently we've had changes made to a HyperCard stack disappear, either
when the stack was closed or compacted, we're not sure which.
We're running a Mac 512 with 2MB Human Touch upgrade (also 12MHz accel.),
System 4.2, Finder 5.3 and Hypercard 1.2.2. I've disabled all INITs, but still
seem to have the problem. We have an old HD20 which we leave on continuously,
though we shutdown the Mac at night to keep it from overheating (it does have a
system saver on it - more of a superstitious shutdown than one based on
reality). We have notice NO file corruption, only things missing, which is what
made me believe, I'm still not convinced otherwise, that this is an example of
operator error.
Any insights you might have would be most appreciated.

Digitizing of artwork was recently discussed in Info-Mac. It was
generally (not unanimously) decided that this was an infringement of the
copyright law, and all such artwork, and possibly some sounds, were
removed from the archives. Please tell your friend that the original
posters will probably look much better, and, of course, they are
definitely legal to have. Thanks.

Subject: UUdecoding utility for Macs
hello! i'm trying to download some (text) files via a ftp mail server, and
they're coming in UUENCODED format. <Is this a file-compression scheme on
Unix?> Does anyone know of a Mac utility to UUdecode these files?
thanks,

Subject: VPI BITNET address
Is there anyone listening from VPI who could give me a BITNET
address there which I could use as an e-mail depository for a grad-
student in the Department of Clothing & Textiles? I need a faster
method of exchanging files than snail-mail and would appreciate it
greatly if someone with an account there would be willing to act as
a conduit for files. The volume would be moderate, mostly WordPerfect
files & simple notes. If anyone can help in this area, please
send responses to me direct. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Mark Edward Toomey
