Subject: ABC: New language sources and binaries posted
The source and binaries of a new programming language, ABC, are being
posted this week to comp.sources.unix and comp.binaries.{ibm.pc,
atari.st; mac}. This posting gives an overview of the language and
some examples.
THE LANGUAGE
ABC is an imperative language originally designed as a replacement for
BASIC: interactive, very easy to learn, but structured, high-level,
and easy to use. ABC has been designed iteratively, and the present
version is the 4th iteration. The previous versions were called B (not
to be confused with the predecessor of C).
It is suitable for general everyday programming, the sort of
programming that you would use BASIC, Pascal, or AWK for. It is not a
systems-programming language. It is an excellent teaching language,
and because it is interactive, excellent for prototyping. It is much
faster than 'bc' for doing quick calculations.
ABC programs are typically very compact, around a quarter to a fifth
the size of the equivalent Pascal or C program. However, this is not
at the cost of readability, on the contrary in fact (see the examples
below).
ABC is simple to learn due to the small number of types in the
language (five). If you already know Pascal or something similar you
can learn the whole language in an hour or so. It is easy to use
because the data-types are very high-level.
The five types are:
numbers: unbounded length, with exact arithmetic the rule
texts (strings): also unbounded length
compounds: records without field names
lists: sorted collections of any one type of items (bags or multi-sets)
tables: generalised arrays with any one type of keys, any one type
of items (finite mappings).

Subject: Apple Warranty
The following is an excerpt from an Apple Press Release on Thursday,
March 8, 1990:
--
CUPERTINO, California--March 8, 1990--Apple Computer, Inc. today
announced that all Apple hardware products sold in the United States
after January 1, 1990 will be covered by a one-year limited warranty.
The limited warranty provides coverage around the world for U.S.
customers, who can obtain warranty service from any authorized
Apple reseller in more than 80 countries worldwide. Previously,
the U.S. warranty covered a 90-day period, and warranty service
was available from only U.S. resellers.
The company also announced that customers who purchased hardware
products in the U.S. prior to January 1, 1990 are eligable for a
special promotional price on AppleCare, Apple's extended service
plan for out-of-warranty products.
{...}
The promotional AppleCare price, which is available from March19
through May 31, 1990, offers an additional six free months of coverage
when six months are purchased.

Subject: Command file for MACLPS.PS (MAC to VMS postscript)
I have noticed a few users on INFO-MAC inquiring about printing MAC-generated
postscript files on the PrintServer 40 laser printer on a VAX. I have sent the
file MACLPS.PS to the archives. This postscript file serves as a prep file so
that any MAC-generated file will print on the PrintServer 40. I can not take
credit for the file itself but I am also sending the command file (MACLPS.COM)
which will print the prep file (MACLPS.PS) in front of the mac file.
Hope this helps!

allowed non-technical people to stay out of Unix. Does anyone know what

Subject: DeskWriter Spooling
More than once people have asked on the net about spoolers for the HP Desk-
Writer. MacWeek for Feb 27 reports the release of SuperMac's SuperLaserSpool
v. 2.02, which supports the DeskWriter. Upgrades for registered SLS owners
are $30, free if you bought SLS after Dec.1, and registered SuperSpool owners
(the ImageWriter spooler) can get SLS for $50. The article says that the
spooler ships with version 2 of HP's driver, which seems to mean that it now
comes with the printer. SuperMac: 408-773-4498.

Subject: Do you take requests? [for snds, that is]
Oh, what joy to have Finder Sounds! Now I hardly have to look at the screen
to know what I'm doing!
Yeah, like I EVER know.
Now that we have this wonder, I would like to request from any digitizing
fiends on the net, or anyone who happens to have such a creature, a few
DeskTop sounds.
In particular, I would LOVE an old file cabinet drawer opening (& closing)
and/or a window (sash type) doing the same. A flourish of strumpets... errr
TRUMPETS for "About the Finder" may be appropriate too.
I recall having a few of these on old "Sound Effects, Vol. 1-24" albums that
have long since disappeared. If someone has these (I understand they are
now on CD) to record from, it would probably be easier than standing by a
window with a mike.
By the way, am I the only one to think home Audio CD players should be
able or adaptable to read CD-ROMs into a computer?
As per standard:
Replies, if any, will be sumarised & posted to InfoMac.

DiskExpress II places your system files and recently used files near the
center, and your least recently used files (in the past 5 days) on the
outside. Furthermore, it does it all automatically when your Mac isn't
busy. It works like a charm, I'm really pleased with it.

Subject: Gatekeeper vs. m0ire ??
Interesting subject line eh?
For some reason there seems to be a conflict between M0ire 3.02 and Gatekeeper.
With Gatekeeper running, m0ire can be installed and will run fine on the first
start-up, but thereafter willnot run. If I go to the Control Panel, and try to
open the m0ire config, I get and error saying the CP could not access needed
resources. I have tried loading m0ire both after and before gatekeeper, I
have granted m0ire full authorization under gatekeeper. The drive was
thoroughly checked for viruses. So what's the deal??

Subject: Grammatik Mac vs. MS Word
The problem of Grammatik Mac not being able to re-read the corrected file
unless it has been "save-as"ed sounds like it can't deal with Word's fast
save files. Turn "fast save" off, and that particular problem should go
away. (Look in the commands dialog for the command Fast Save
Enabled/Disabled). This may not help with the other reported problems,
though.

Subject: Image 1.26
Image 1.26 is a public domain program for the Macintosh II for
doing digital image processing and analysis. It can acquire, display,
edit, enhance, analyze, print, and animate images. It reads
and writes TIFF, PICT, and MacPaint files, providing compatibility
with many other Macintosh applications. It supports many standard
image processing functions, including histogram equalization,
contrast enhancement, density profiling, smoothing, sharpening,
edge detection, and noise reduction. Spatial convolutions, with
user defined kernels up to 63x63, are also supported.
Image can be used to measure the area, mean density, center of
gravity, and angle of orientation of a user defined region of
interest. It also performs automated particle analysis and can
be used to measure path lengths and angles. Measurement results
can be printed, exported to text files, or copied to the
Clipboard. Results can also be calibrated to provide real
world values.
It provides MacPaint-like editing of color and grayscale
images, including the ability to draw lines, rectangles, ovals
and text. It can flip, rotate, invert and scale selections. It
supports multiple windows and 8 levels of magnification. All
editing, filtering, and measurement functions operate at any
level of magnification and are undoable. It uses digital
halftoning to print images on PostScript printers and
Floyd-Steinberg dithering for printing on non-PostScript
printers.
It supports either the Data Translation QuickCapture card or
Scion Image Capture 2 card for digitizing images using a TV
camera. Acquired images can be shading corrected and frame
averaged.
Image is written in Think Pascal from Symantec Corporation, and
the source code is available. The program can be easily ported
to other Pascal compilers for the Macintosh, such as MPW Pascal
or TML Pascal.
For full operation, Image requires a Mac II(x, cx, ci) with at
least 2 megabytes of memory, but 4 megabytes, or more, is
recommended for doing animation, for simultaneously displaying
more than a handful of pictures, or for running under
MultiFinder. Image also requires an 8-bit video card capable of
displaying 256 colors or shades of gray.
A 47 page manual in MacWrite format, a HyperCard reference stack,
and Think Pascal source code are also available.

Dear Netters,
We have been using two Imagewriter LQ's on an Appletalk network, and have had
