Subject: A Great Netter's Dinner!

Well, I have 45 places reserved for the Netter's Dinner at the Hunan in SF on 
Wednesday 11 April after MacWorld.  We will be meeting in the lobby of Moscone 
Center by 6:30 on Wednesday.  We will walk to Broadway and Sansome where the 
Hunan is.  We will have a banquet style dinner of approximately $15 cost, 
drinks extra.  We will eat until we are bloated and our ears have turned red 
>From the spices (well, some of us anyway).  We will then sit and talk until we 
are ready to waddle off in search of parties.

Some have requested that I explain the origin of the Netter's Dinner.  It all 
started when someone said, via email, "We ought to get together for dinner at 
MacWorld so we can meet and see what each other looks like."  Well, one thing 
grew into another and now it's an open function.  If you want to meet others 
whose signatures you know, come along.

It is not too late to RSVP and attend.  I will be phoning in a final count 
Wednesday morning.  Send me a note or call me.  I know there are some DELPHI 
folks who have always attended in the past and I imagine that they want to 
continue, but there is currently no way to get email from Internet to DELPHI.
What follows is the list of RSVPs with body counts and email addresses.  If 
you are not on this list and wish to attend, let me know.

Subject: Anyone using Oracle with Hyper/SuperCard?

I am working on a database project that uses SuperCard as an interface,
Mark Zimmermann's TEXAS (now "FreeBrowser" 1.0) as a large-
text-search-engine, and is dedicated to the work, life and
times of a painter (which means that it will show the 5,000
paintings, drawings and prints in his "oeuvre" - scanned for
now in 16 gray-levels with the Apple scanner). The documental
material is highly correlated, comprising circa 25,000 documents:
letters, newspaper clippings, exhibition catalogs, Oral History
recordings, epoch photographs, etc.
It was recently decided that, in order to increase connectivity
*and* get the benefit of SQL, we should use ORACLE.
I am just starting, everything seems to work fine, including the
fact that SuperCard accepts to convert the stack that has the
XCmd "execsql" (loaded into SharedFile) with no problem at all.
But, as a beginner both in ORACLE and in SQL, I would appreciate
receiving any hints from our net gurus:
Publications, books, user-groups, lists, etc., on ORACLE for the
Macintosh (or ORACLE "tout court").
Has any of you folks worked with ORACLE&Hyper/SuperCard?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Color printer selection problems

We haven't actually received our color printer yet, but we *HAVE* used this
method for regular laser printers before:

Use the PrintShare software from Apple (or something similar) to allow spooling
but NOT bypass or printing.  Run the color print jobs in batch by going to the
server and deleting unauthorized jobs, then turn off spooling and turn on
printing (from the spool).  It's a little bit of a hassle but at $1.00 per page
it's probably worth it, particularly if you are getting a lot of improper use.

Of course this may not be a reasonable solution if you have a LOT of color
printing by many different people and you want them to have unlimited use of
the printer (not our situation *at all*).

Subject: Connecting a PC Harddisk to a MAC

I do not know if this has been answered before, but I am considering
to buy a 49MB Seagate SCSI harddisk, which is designed for use on a PC.
I would like to get this instead of one of the expensive drives
designed for the MAC, as I can get it for less than half price.

A local technician says that the problem is that the Apple-driver
does not support this type of disks, but he has once tried to get
it up and running by using a Tallgrass driver. Unfortunately the
Talgrass driver is not available for sale without there harddisks,
so my question is :

Has anybody out there written a driver for PC-type harddisks ?
or do you know where I can buy one ?

(Great shareware software if it exists, if I can save $200 then
I will not hesitate to send $25-$50 to a shareware author)

Subject: Daystar Accelerators

I have one in my Mac II. I love it to pieces; it's a 40MHz board with
an FPU, and it's aboslutely great. Connectix is working on a version of Virtual
which will work with the accelerator, and then you can be one of the first on
your block to have 14MB at 40 (or 50) MHz....

My only connection with Daystar is as a satisfied customer.

Subject: FDHD Formatting

Ever since I upgraded my reliable Macintosh SE to a Macintosh SE/30, I've
noticed how I get an unusually high number of bad disks when I try
to reformat them in my internal FDHD.  I brought this up to my local
Apple technician, and he tested the drive with the result of it passing
just fine.  We supposed it must be a software problem, but no.. it happens
even when using the new System 6.0.5 with no startup inits.
--
Looking into it further, I realized that I was not the only person who
experienced this problem.  We checked the technicians drive, and it had
the same problem.  Being curious, we decided to test a brand new FDHD
>From the service stock.  Surprise!  The same disk formatted fine in the
new drive!  Test again, and yep it still fails in both my computer and
the technician's, but if we try to format it in the new drive, it
works fine.  Hmm.  What could be different between the good and the
bad drives?
--
Well, when we examined the logic board of the drives, we discovered
that the good drive had a different chip on it than both of our
"defective" drives.  The bad drives had a chip: CXD1094A, and the good
drive had a replacement chip: CXD1603Q.  We couldn't believe it.
We also noticed that the serial numbers of the bad drives end in P1, but
the good drive serial number ended in a P2.  One last thing to check..
The revision of the FDHD logic board on the bad drives was 1-625-896-13,
and on the good drive it was 1-625-896-19.
--
The same types of errors occur using both HD and 800k disks. They format,
but as soon as the drive starts to verify, it kicks out and gives a
bad disk error.
--
Has anybody else noticed any problems with the FDHD original drives?  Has
Apple announced any upgrade/replacement for the old drives with this
unusual problem?  If you are experiencing any of these types of problems,
please send me the information from your drive (serial#, chip#).
--
I'll summarize responses for the net.

PS:  There are two readily visible chips on the FDHD logic board, but
     the second chip: CX20185 appears on both the good and bad drives.

Subject: MIDI and Hypercard

I am interested in manipulating extensive musical examples using
a stack -- I will be using the Apple Audio CD drivers to run
an Audio CD, but need to supplement what's on the CD with things
>From Hypercard. As I understand it, my options are these:

1) Write the examples using Hypercard's musical language -- argh!

2) Digitize the raw sound, and store it as resources --
very costly in disk space, at CD quality.

3) Manipulate MIDI information in some form using XCMDs --
presumably more compact than digitized CD, although not as nice.

This last one may be a nice comprimise, but I don't know whether
in fact it's possible!  I have noticed some discussion of MIDI
and Hypercard in the past, but have unfortunately ignored those
messages, so here's my plea -- have you already dealt with this
issue? How did you solve it? Have you heard rumor of a solution?

Thanks in advance for any help --

If he has FTP Enable checked in his File menu you should be able to
establish an ftp connection using your mainframe as the client and his
NCSA Telnet Server.  Since the Macintoxh is a single user system it
does not have user accounts.  Don't use the command
user anonymous
as soon as your client ftp reports that the connection is established
you may begin the file transfer process in either direction.  If you
have him set the transfer directory (using Command-D) you will be in
the right folder on his Mac.  Otherwise, you can use the change
directory command "cd" to navigate the Mac Hierarchical File Structure.

SC> I even went to the trouble of getting him to make a password and new user

I have never established an ftp password on my machine so I cannot
help except to refer you to the manuals if you want password
protection.  Your friend should be aware that without a password set
and with FTP Enable enabled his machine is accessable to anyone on the
network for ftp transfers so long has he is running NCSA Telnet.

Hope this helps.

        The newStack XCMD creates a minimal HyperCard stack. It takes
a single parameter, the path name of the new file. Its syntax is:

        newStack "myDisk:aFolder:<etc.>:myStack"

    Both the XCMD and the ARCH resources must be present in the parent
stack, home stack or HyperCard for this external command to function
properly.

Subject: Postscript on non-Apple printers

We have a problem sending postscript files to another site.  They
are unable to get them to print without some unusual procedures.  They 
have a Sun with a Sun laser printer running TransScript.  I first sent a     
postscript file generated with a command-f.  That didn't print.  Then I
sent the laserprep stuff generated by command-k and that didn't work
either.  Then I tried the program AddLPrep from the archive and that
didn't work either.  Then the people at the other site found a strange
procedure (see below) that works under some cases.  Surely there must
be an easier way for them to print postscript.  I would appreciate any
help understanding what is going on, and how we might set this up so
it is easier for them to print our postscript files.  thanks,

-- Doug

(Note received from other site)
              

I tried using showpage, and that still did not cause anything to
print.  In the TranScript manual, I found an "ehandler.ps" file that
causes an explanation to be printed for an error, rather than just
failing to print.  When I downloaded that, and then downloaded your file
that included the definitions for non-Apple machines, the file
*printed* perfectly.  But when I tried again to make sure it was
repeatable, I got an error message printed instead of the file.
I then tried printing the original file without the Apple definitions,
and the file printed successfully.

It appears that the following steps are necessary to get your PS
files to print here:

   1. download the ehandler.ps (I don't understand why)
   2. download your function definition file exactly once
   3. download your text file

Subject: Problem with HD drives

Hello,

I've been reading recently about the problems occurring with Apple's 800K drive
and the resulting INIT that helps with this problem ("800K-eject").  Here at BC
we have been having massive problems lately with the performance of our HD disks
in FDHD drives (configuration = Mac IIcx, FDHD internal, 800K external, no hard
disk).  Could this be the same problem as the aforementioned 800K drive head
problem?  Any ideas anyone?????

Thanks for the advice

Subject: running UNIX, MacOS, DOS and Windows on one machine. which? 

	[ check out InfoWorld of April 2, page 106 ]

in the regular weekly column "Q&A: Quindlen and Alsop" the title reads:

answer:  a 68030 based Mac-II with A/UX 2.0 and{a 32-bit clean version of

hey, a lot of slowly condensing vaporware here, I know, but by late summer

Subject: seeking opcode vision users

I'm considering various MAC sequencing packages that support
composing, editing, and printing musical scores that have been
input via MIDI interface.  A couple of people have recommended
Opcode's product called Vision, but I have not yet spoken with
anyone who has used it firsthand.   If you have experience with
Vision I'd appreciate hearing your feedback about it.

Thanks,

Subject: SimCity crashing system files?

  I have just purchased SimCity for my Mac SE/30. It is a great game but I
think it is creating some problems with my printing ability. I used the print
option in SimCity and printed a map of my city. Worked fine. But, a few days
later, I went to print a document in MSWord 4.0 and I was told that I couldn't
open my printer. I went to the chooser to reselect the ImageWriter and I got
another error from the system. So, I thought I might have gotten a virus. I ran
Disinfectant 1.6 and I was told that the ImageWriter system file was bad. I
replaced it and everything worked fine.
  Now, I printed another map from SimCity and once again, my printer file is
bad. I have never had this problem before and the only thing I can think of is
that SimCity is causing this. Anyone else have this problem?

Subject: Single Monitor Patch for Pyro! 4(tm)

The following patch is supplied via the Technical Support team at Fifth
Generation Software.  It is only to be used if you are having difficulty
finding the Sleep Now and Sleep Never corners using Pyro 4.0.  The
symptom is that the corner is only sensitive 1 pixel out.

According to Fifth Generation the patch need only be applied for the
Plus and possibly an SE.  It will work on multiple monitors but will
change the sensitivity of the corners for Pyro 4.0.

Working with A COPY of the ORIGINAL UNALTERED PYRO 4.0 and RESEDIT 1.2,
open the INIT 128 resource.  Using the FIND HEX menu item, set the Find
edit box to 0010670E and the Change edit box to 0010671C.  Find and
change only the first occurrence of the string.  Quit and Save this
new version of Pyro 4.0.

Replace the copy of Pyro 4.0 into your System Folder, and Restart the
Mac.  You will now have to redo all your Pyro 4.0 settings as per the
Manual (the modules don't need to be reconfigured).

Subject: Spreadsheet file Xfer

      I have a user with what on the surface seemed to be a rather simple
problem.  He has a floppy with some Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets on it.  Excel is
supposed to be able to read and write 1-2-3 format files.  

      The user wants to get these spreadsheets on to his Mac+ to manipulate
with Excel.  Both the Mac and the PC have dial-up access to a VAX, and I was
going to use that as a transfer medium (Upload to the VAX from a PC - Download
>From VAX to Mac).   After transfering the file to the Mac I tried to open the
file using Excel, it correctly identified the file as a WK1 type file, but
after reading 1% of the file it failed with an error of -39.  Does anyone know
a way to do a relatively easy way to do a one-time-only transfer.

      							-Thanks
