Subject: Appletalk - Ethernet linkup
A Fastpath or Gatorbox appears to be the best way to get Appletalk
LANS to communicate with Ethernet. However, our Apple network Rep
tells us we can hang a Gatorbox (or Fastpath) off our Ethernet backbone
and route all our Appletalk packets from our various Appleshare networks
to that one (or more depending on Appletalk traffic load) gateway. This
saves having to buy a gateway for each Appletalk LAN. Another thing
to consider is if you even need to be encapsulating the Appletalk packets
in IP at all. If you are just sending Appletalk packets from one Appletalk
network to another Appletalk network, I believe all you need is Apple's
Internet Router software and no Gatorbox or Fastpath is needed.
We are also just beginning the adventure into Appletalk to Ethernet land,
so if anyone knows where I may have a misunderstanding of these concepts,
please set me (us) straight.
Also, TOPS 3.0 is now AFP compatible, although it still uses its TOPS DA
interface instead of the Chooser.

The "*70," command should work with Touch-Tone phones, but if you don't have
access to Tone or your modem only dials pulse, you can use "1170,".
ICL8's

To create (or edit) ICL8's, you'll need a custom ResEdit Template -- There's
a PD template available in the System and Finder file section of America Online.

Subject: Charging for Lab Printing
We had very good sucess with a punch card system sold through our
computer store. We put 16 little apple icons on a card and sold it
for two bucks, then crossed out one icon for each page printed.
This method requires that users not be able to get at their printouts
themselves, so the monitor can make sure the icons get crossed out.
This system met our need not to have money-handling in the templ... uh,
computer lab. Our printer was in the monitor's "office" (off the lab).
I put this in the past tense since our micro lab is now changing
function (I won't bore you with the details) -- however, the new
lab that is replacing it (under another organization) is using
essentially the same method.

Subject: Color Desktop Pictures
I'm looking for a utility to put a color picture on my desktop. I know
there are several out there. ColorDesk in particular has been recommended
to me by a friend. I've played with it on his machine, and I agree that
it's great. But there's one problem. I was used to Backdrop on my old
Mac SE, which randomly chose a picture from a particular folder. I agree
that ColorDesk's ability to get a file from anywhere makes Backdrop's
selection ability look a bit limited, but I really liked getting a different
desktop picture every day. Do any of the other color desktop picture
utilities allow for this? Does any one know where I can get in touch with
Paul Mercer or Microseeds Publishing (the author and publisher of ColorDesk,
respectively). As a last resort, are any of the PD utilities available in
source? I'd be willing to do the necessary modifications myself if necessary.
Please reply directly to me and I will summarize to Info-Mac. Thanks in
advance for any information.

What exactly does this init (and it's cousin, ADSP) do? I understand
you need it for certain AppleTalk file transfer operations (both Oscar
and SingleShare require the Desktop Manager). It appears to create two
additional Desktop Files Desktop DB and Desktop DF. However, whenever I start
up with Desktop Manager, I always seem to lose a lot of my icons,
especially for documents on my one hard drive for applications on the other.
Can anybody out there fill me in as to what is going on?

Subject: Desktops & big hard drives
I have a Desktop/Resource Manager question in which many of us might
be interested. Apple Tech Notes 141 and 210 both indicate that
the maximum number of resources that can be included in a file is
2720 and this limit applies to the Desktop file as well. We have
an SE/30 with an 80 meg drive which currently has 2291 files.
Since most of the applications have bundles with FREFs, BNDLs, ICN#s,
and version resources, we might very easily be pushing this 2720
limit.
Our problem is the fact that some applications (namely Word 3.02 and
4.0) are periodically crashing when they are launched, the initial
empty window is closed, and you attempt to open an existing file
>From the File menu's Open... command. The programs die when you
select the Open... command. You never see the standard file dialog.
I have scanned the entire hard drive for viruses with Disinfectant 1.7
(the latest version as of this date) and viruses are not the problem.
I get the impression from the tech notes that the System does not provide
timely warnings when you are nearing the outer limits of the Desktop file
but rather you simply start experiencing odd problems (kinda like the
ones I've described :-) ). Does anyone (maybe someone at Apple) feel
qualified to explain what symptoms (other than slower than normal folder
openings) are likely to accompany bloated Desktop files?
BTW: I already know what the solution to the problem is (you need to
partition the actual hard drive into smaller "virtual drives"). I just
want to know how one can definitively know when one is experiencing
a Desktop problem or just buggy software...

Subject: Event Drivers with Lightspeed Pascal - ???
Hi, I am trying to write a program with Lightspeed pascal
that will work sort of as INIT, and run in the backround.
The best way for this program to go about running, is
to be able to respond to event queues. I remember that
there is a way to tack a little routeen on the end of
one of the event drivers, (like WaitNextEvent, or
GetNextEvent,) but I do not remember how to do it.
This process was illistrated in an INIT called
ONE-SPACE, that has recently dissapeared from the Info-
Mac Archives, although this INIT was written in
Think C.
Any help of this would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Net:
I'm interested in knowing a little more about the HP LaserJet III ...
It has different sized dots which effectively enhance its resolution.
Is there any kind of driver software for the Mac which will allow it
to utilize this capability? It's a 300 dpi printer, but since it can
vary the size of it's dots, is the resolution effectively enhanced?
(that's what's implied by the ads, but who knows ...)
If there are multiple drivers that will work with the printer, which
is best and why?
Is HP planning to create (or has already created) a driver for use
with the Mac?

Yup, Apple invited some of us higher-ed folks to a demonstration of
System 7 (no non-disclosure!), and this feature, which Apple calls aliasing,
is very, very cool. You'll have an item called "Alias" that works exactly
like "Duplicate" on your file menu, and you can place an alias of a document
anywhere -- on any volume. Double clicking the alias will then open the
document. The coolest part is that (Apple claims -- I didn't actually see
this) you can put an alias on a floppy disk, go over to another Mac on
your Appletalk network, double click on it, and open the document or
application on your own Mac (assuming you've allowed access over the
network). Very slick, or as they say where I live in Lawrence "Es Muy

Subject: MS Word Search & Replace Font Sensitive
Glenn Sowell <sowell@hoss.unl.edu> asks about global search & replace

There are a number of keyboard shortcuts which have this feature for
both searching and replacing. A good reference is "The Word Companion"
by Mynhier and Cobb, published by the Cobb Group. See pages 192 through
209.
The most powerful way to tackle this problem is to convert your document
to RTF. Then all the styles and formats are clearly visible as ASCII
text. Use your favorite editor to make any style and format change you
want, then have Word convert the RTF back into a normal Word document.

I have a problem and a request:
1) I have a Mac SE/30 with a 40 megabyte hard drive running Sys 6.0.4
Sometimes, I want to switch systems in order to run older software
which is incompatible with the new system. I cannot switch launch
to another older system folder, and if I boot off a floppy, the
system changes to the newer system on the hard drive because the
application I need is on the hard drive. Trying to fool the Mac into
using the older system folder is a huge hassle. Any ideas? What can
I do?
2) I am also looking for children's software (preference for Hypercard
stacks) that are public domain or shareware (cheap shareware; I am now
seeing shareware products in the $100 range. I'd rather pay my limited
funds on a commercial product). This would be for a five year old
Japanese learning English from her older brother (That's me). I'd like
to find some educational stacks, spellers, games, etc. I've looked at

Subject: Problem installing 8 MB in an SE/30
Does anyone have experience installing 8MB of third party memory in and
SE/30? We have a new SE/30 (40 MB Apple internal hard drive, running
System 6.0.4 which came with it) in which we installed 8 MB of low profile
80 ns chips which we bought from South Coast Electronics. The system
failed the Video RAM test in Apple diagnostics with the 8 MB installed,
but passed with either 4 MB. We also tried the same memory in another
SE/30, and the same thing happened. The company claims the memory
exceeds Apple specs and that it has been tested with 8 MB in an SE/30.
We also had them replace the chips and had the same problem.
Thinking that it might be a bug in Apple Diags, we turned the system
over to its owner. After using the system for a short time, it crashes
with black and white horizontal lines on the screen, and will not boot
either from floppy or from hard disk. If he waits a while, it will boot,
but the same thing will happen again. He has not been doing anything in
particular when it crashes -- usually just copy stuff onto the hard drive
>From floppies.
It sounds to us like a design problem with the SE/30 and/or the 3rd party
memory, since two different SE/30's failed diagnostics with the same and
different batches of the memory chips. It seems like a heat or power
supply problem which only occurs when 8 MB are installed. The logical
thing would be to try 8 MB of Apple memory and see if that works ok,
but we'd prefer not to get stuck with it since it costs twice as
much as third party.
What I'd like to know is whether anyone has ever had similar problems, or
successfully installed 8 MB of any 3rd party memory in and SE/30 without
problems. It also would be of interest if anyone has had similar problems
with Apple memory.
This is kind of a pressing problem, so if you can send mail directly to
me, I will summarize if appropriate.
Thanks.

This may sound strange, but I'll mention it anyway. Apparently isf you're

work. Set the monitor to 4-colors (2bit planes) before booting, then boot
