SAM Intercept can also prevent infection by the ZUC virus (at least
version 2.0 with "standard" or higher protection turned on). The
information below was provided by the author of SAM to the Virus-L
list and comp.virus.
- - - - -
For SAM 2.0 users:
A new virus has recently been discovered (now named ZUC). If you
happen to run across the ZUC with SAM 2.0, you can expect to see the
following.
1) If you are running in standard, advanced, or custom levels, SAM
will alert you to ZUC's attempt to change CODE resources within
applications when ZUC is trying to spread itself. Denying this attempt
with SAM keeps the infection from spreading.
2) If you have previously inoculated your applications with Virus
Clinic 2.0, then if ZUC has infected any files since inoculation (if,
for instance, you had SAM Intercept turned off or set to basic level),
then SAM will alert you to an inoculation discrepancy when you try to
launch the infected file.
3) SAM Virus Clinic will also alert you to a checksum change to any
infected files if you have turned on checksumming in the Virus Clinic
scans.
4) You can configure SAM (both Virus Clinic and Intercept) to find ZUC
during scans and application launches with the new virus definition
feature. Using the Add Virus Definition option in Virus Clinic, create
a new one with these fields:
Virus Name: ZUC
Resource Type: CODE
Resource ID: 1
Resource Size: Any
Search String: 4E56FF74A03641FA04D25290 (hexadecimal)
String Offset: Any
You can then add this definition to both Virus Clinic and SAM
Intercept.
One other note: SAM 2.0 also repairs files infected with multiple
viruses.

Subject: Any MUSICIANS out there?
If there are any musicians among the Macphiles out there,
particularly those of you who are using the Mac in your musical
activities, maybe you can help me.
I have a two inquiries:
First, I'm looking for music-notation/playback software. I need
something that will generate publication quality output (as, say, from a
PostScript printer), handles all reasonable notation requirements (e.g.,
slurs, the various rest symbols, connecting staves, etc.), properly
alligns lyrics with their associated notes, has useful limits (e.g., will
handle at least small orchestral arrangements), and will play the scores
back through the Mac's internal speaker (within the voice limitations of
the particular Mac in use, of course).
The last requirement above is crucial, because I frequently need to
travel while I'm working on a project, and lugging my Mac is burden enough
without also having to tote a synth with me. MIDI control permitting
input from a keyboard and playback through a synthesizer would also be
nice, but the above requirements are more important.
Any *hearty* recommendations?
Second, a friend of mine has an E-mu Systems Emulator II+
"workstation" (combination sequencer, sampler, synthesizer). He inherited
a number of program diskettes for the Emulator I, on standard 3-1/2" disks
(just like the Emulator II uses), but they are not compatible with the
Emulator II (apparently the music industry does not believe in upward
compatibility).
If anyone knows a way to convert Emulator I programs to Emulator II
format, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks to all those who responded to my query about the DeskWriter/DeskJet

Subject: Developer's Sampler on ci?
I have a Mac IIci, running the Apple color monitor on the internal
video. I'm frustrated that many (if not all) of the color demos on the
Developer's Sampler CD do not recognize the fact that I have a color
monitor, presumably because whatever code is checking uses some other
mechanism than, say, the Monitors CDEV does. (I haven't decided to
grovel around in Macsbug yet, on the hope that someone already knows
what is going on).
Does anyone know of a way to fool the Developer's Sampler demos into
believing that I have a color monitor?
Any ideas appreciated.

Subject: Edit application crashes on Mac II
The application EDIT, which used to be the standard editor for program
development seems to consistantly crash my Mac II now that I have expanded
>From 2 to 5 Mb. The computer is a Mac II, 68851 PMMU, 5 Mb memory, and
the Apple color adapter and screen. (Ready for System 7.0) Running system
6.02 with the SADE compatible version of MultiFinder. Under MultiFinder
the screen goes blank and the computer ceases to respond to anything; under
UniFinder the screen gets diagonal lines and a color display similar to one
Mac+s used to produce along with buzzing noises on a crash. No other program
or combination of them has ever done this to the computer.
Is this the end of using EDIT? Not that it was a good program or anything,
but it did work and could be used for printing MPW programs on machines
without starting up MPW. I see no reason to suspect the memory.(?)
Thanks to those on the net endorsing the Technology Works, I bought my memory
expansion from them. The price and service were fine.

I have recieved quite a few requests for my Escher macpaint files, so I figured
it best to the public to put them somewhere accessable to all. This is a print
I have had on my hard drive for quite some time now, M. C. Escher's 'Bugs'.
I'm sure it has a fancy name, but I don't have the time to look it up in my
books. This is a macpaint file that has been stuffit-ed, and the binhexed.
This print is composed of a varity of staircases, with salamander-like creatures

Stefan,
Disinfectant 1.7 does indeed require GateKeeper privs to scan files. Earlier
versions only require privs when repairing files. I didn't realize this until
after I had released 1.7, or I would have put it in the doc.
Just grant Disinfectant all six GateKeeper privs. Then it should work fine.

To: Karl Berg in Sweden,
I had a similarly nasy bout with the 80M internal Apple (Quantum-made OEM)
drive which came in my Se/30, purchased 9/89.
There was a batch of Quantum drives shipped to Apple with faulty lubricant
on the bearings. The lubricant is not the correct viscosity, and depending
on the humidity/temperature, etc, your drive may or may not boot.
The experience you're going through is living hell. It was a problem for
many people (incl myself) who bought Apple 40M and 80M internal drives
in the past year. Apple has finally acknowledged the problem, and notified
dealers. They will replace any drive with this defect, at no cost, until
some date in 1991 which I can't remember offhand.
If I were you, what I would do is: the next time your drive DOES manage to
boot, IMMEDIATELY do a full backup of all of your files. Don't trust your
hard drive! Don't save anything important on it until you get it replaced.
If you're drive's LED lights up when you try to boot it, and it takes more
than a few nerve-wracking seconds for the happy Mac startup face to come on,
your drive is borderline working. My solution wasto run the air-conditioning
overnight, pray before I went to sleep, and allow the drive lubricant to
thicken overnight. BACKUP next morning!
If the green (or red) drive LED light's when you power up, and you hear the
drive faltering, but it fails to boot up, here is my suggestion: order a copy
of SUM II file recovery utility if there are still essential files on the HD
which you don't have backups of. SUM II (and maybe also 1st Aid Kit Deluxe?)
will get those files for you, although you may have to re-furnish their
Creator and File types.
Bring your drive to an Apple dealer, and makes sure they are aware of Apple's
special replacement policy before you sign it over to the dealer. My local
dealers were all ignorant of the policy, but I insisted that Apple would
honor the replacement. They confirmed this on AppleLink, and replaced it.
Good luck, Karl, and toodle-doo to all you people who put fancy text
around your disclaimers.

A while back, I asked if it was OK to use 1 meg X 9 SIMMS in a Mac
SE/30. I got several replies saying it _was_ OK, so long, of course,
as the chips are fast enough. The student for whom I was asking now
has 4 1 X 8 SIMMS in one bank and 4 1 X 9 SIMMS in the other and it
all works perfectly.
(BTW- the speed of the chips is given in a suffix to the number

Subject: Summary: Roll-your-own CP-340 Disk & Conner 200 Meg Drive
A little while ago I asked about the Conner CP-340 disk (for a "roll-
my-own" disk project), as well as the new 200 Meg Conner disk. To
summarize the response:
Several people reported favorably on the CP-340 itself. It is/has
been used by Ehman and La Cie. Most software will work to format and
initialize it (I think my own MicroNet software will work too). Rich
Akerboom (boomer@eleazar.dartmouth.edu) told me how he assembled his:
the drive from Hamilton-Avnet, a big electronics distributor from whom
I've also bought in the past ($400 last summer, probably cheaper now),
and it came with a manual (an important consideration, I'm finding out);
and a La Cie case with Silverlining software from a dealer (about $180).
La Cie also sells the software alone for about $30-50. He said the
"case is small and comes with a padded cordura carrying case" and "the
whole thing is about 1/4 the size of your average briefcase."
For myself, I want to bring out an extension from the Mac power supply,
since my disk is to shuttle between two Mac IIs. So I'll do without the
usual case and power supply. My cables will eventually arrive, and when
I figure out the remaining problems ...
In my posting I also asked about the new Conner 200 Meg drive, a mail
order house Hard Drives International which is advertising it, and the
UniMac Storware software they provide. There have been various strong
attitudes/reports about the Hard Drives firm in these digests, I won't
repeat them.
Brad Hathaway (bh11@andrew.cmu.edu) bought the UniMac Storware
software from MacWarehouse a few months ago for $69--the used drive he
intended to buy turned out not to work, but he tested Storware on the
the drive he wanted to replace and it worked fine. Bob Kaynor sent
me the UniMac phone number (800-422-2115 or 415-581-3442) and said
it does do hard partitions. So it should probably work for A/UX.
Regarding the 200 meg drive, in an recent digest posting
> Subject: 200Mbyte Conners not sighted
> From: elroy!grian!alex@ames.arc.nasa.gov (Alex Pournelle)
reported that the CP-3200 drive isn't available in quantity greater
than samples. He also said
> Great drive when you can get it. Quite a technical marvel, too--16
> heads in a case about 2" tall!
Conner Peripherals ignored my inquiry about getting a technical
manual for my CP-340 :-(. But, kind souls, they did mail glossy spec
sheets for their drives all the way to Paris. The CP-3200F does seem a
marvel. Only 1.63 in (4.1 cm) high, and they got their 212 meg
(formatted) with 4 disks, 8 heads and surfaces. They manage that by
boosting the recording density 50% and the track density 70% higher
than in the CP-340. Other specs: 16 msec average access, 64K RAM
buffer, 56 bit error correction code.
There were some other technical marvels on their glossy spec sheets.
The CP-3040 (replacement for the CP-340?) uses the same high density
techniques to put 40 Meg on a single disk in a one inch thick, one lb
package (the CP-340 uses both sides of two disks, is 50% heavier and
thicker). There are also a bunch of even tinier disks for PC portables
which aren't available with SCSI interfaces. If I remember, Conner was
among the first, along with Newbury Data, to come out with small 40
Meg disks like the CP-340. They seem to keep pushing the technology.

I don't know how to connect it but connecting and controlling it isn't
the problem. The difference between a CD player and a CD ROM drive is
the CD ROM is built for heavy duty use that is it can handle all the
seeking required that will wear a normal music CD player out very
quickly. If you want to use it just on ocassion you might get away with
it but heavy duty use will probably wear your CD player out and cause it
to die early.
I don't remember the actual tests but it was something like a CD ROM
drive could hold up to continuous seeking for an extended period of time
(I believe on the order of months) while most CD players tested under
continous seeking didn't last a day.

Conference, to be held in San Jose, CA, on May 7-11.... a month
AFTER the MacWorld SF Exhibition. Below are few selected, more
juicy bits; those in quotes verbatim. Each entry refers to a
single session, though many more sessions are scheduled. [My
own comments like this].
Monday, May 7th
System Software Overview - 90min
System 7.0 and its features. `A prelude to more technical sessions
and so important that no other competing sessions are scheduled'.
Getting More from MPW - preview of an 'integrated help system that
lets you slip straight to Inside Macintosh information without
leaving the confines of the editor'. [Mark the use of _confines_].
Virtual User: An Automated Testing Tool -- 'simplifies testing of
complex application software' (script-based). [The Gorilla DA -
the Real Bad Behaved Monkey DA ;-)]
Tuesday, May 8th
Interapplication Communications Overview -- a 6+3/4 hours' session.
Whole IAC Architecture, 'for techies and marketers that will whet
your appetite'. PPC Toolbox calls across AT networks. Apple-
Events[tm], AppleScript[tm], Edition Manager 'which allows your
applications to share data dynamically with other applications'.
Much more.
Graphics File Formats -- the 'chance to see the new graphics file
format that we're developing. Learn why it's a better format for
conveying and sharing graphics information among applications and
how you can prepare for its debut'. [Let's hope for one that is
broadly PC- and X-Windows-compatible].
N&C Event -- 90 minutes -- `Hear an announcement by our networking
and communication people on a matter that is of importance to all
developers'. [Introducing the AppleTalk Telepathic Communications
Superset, no doubt ;-)]
Wednesday, May 9th
Designing for Apple OS Independence -- 'Tired of rewriting
applications with each new System version? Now you can learn design
practices that will ensure that your applications run on Apple
operating systems, current and future, including A/UX'
Apple, The Interface and Everything -- 'Bruce Tognazzini, Apple's
Human Interface Evangelist, will discuss the intergalactic
importance of interface integrity. In this context, the importance
of the number "42" will also be discussed'. [Smells of Ted Nelson's
projected XANADU servers in orbit around Mars].
Truth About TrueType -- '...we'll look at the variety and state of
the art of the tools available for creating TrueType fonts'.
[Tools? What tools? Where?]
A Glimpse of the Future of the Macintosh Graphics -- 'see directions
Apple is taking in graphics [...] a peek at new graphics
capabilities as well as the integration of the line layout manager
and new printing architecture'.
Thursday, May 10th
HyperCard Surprise - 135 minutes -- 'Shh! It's a surprise. Don't
miss it'. [The long-promised Mr.Coffee interface, multiple cards on
screen and the incrementally compiled HyperTalk II, the Sequel. Not
available until Boston in August. The second longest session,
after the IAC one].
HyperTalk and New Debugging Tools -- 'see HT's latest commands and
syntax additions, as well as demos and the use of new debugging
tools'.
Extended XCMD architecture -- 'we'll provide sample source code'
Using the Help Manager in System 7.0 -- `Learn how to use and [..]
incorporate its features into your applications'.
Using the Alias Manager in System 7.0 -- `Overview and tutorial
[...]; allows your applications to track the locations of files'.
Friday, May 11th
Macintosh OS vs. Everyone Else -- 60min -- 'We'll show you why we do
what we do, how we do it and why we're ahead'
..............................................
So much the schedule. We're also told that due to Apple's "doing
their part for the environment" all conference materials will be
distributed, for the first time, "on a compact disk", that all
attendees will receive afterwards [video or CD-ROM? --if]. Could
be Apple's way of telling us all to read-their-lips and get those
Apple CD-ROM drives. Audio and video tapes will also be available
after the event though.
General: a beautiful brochure; all insights gained at the conference
fall under non-disclosure clause, "not to be used for any article or
news story without the express permission of the Apple Corporation's
Public Relations Departement"; US$ 195.- per day attendance fee; hotels
from US$ 56-135/ single/ day; registration form offers choice of

meals. Also a mysterious "I checked in early gift" is mentioned,
twice. Ie, no small-T-shirt-size, non-vegetarian, late check-ins
