Subject: BBS ?
Anyone out there recommend any decent bulletin board packages running on Macs?
It has to run on a Mac, 'cos it's for my local AppleCentre (who aren't allowed to have any other CPU's under the same roof!). I'd only envisage one phone line, so need only be single user. I'd want mail, up and down loading, all the usual stuff.
As usual, post direct and I'll summarise ..

Subj: Context-specific "beep" sounds
I'd like to know if/how anyone has implemented a context-specific beep sound
for the action, "clicking outside a dialog box." All of the beep-changing
programs I've seen use the same category for this as for any other basic
alert beep; I've been told it's in the OS that way--has anyone written a
patch specifically for that?
Example of desired result is our old favorite, HAL: (User clicks outside
modal dialog box) "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that."

Subject: DA printing to DeskWriter under MF
I have been running into problems printing to my DeskWriter from various
DAs like Easy Envelope + and McSink. The problems range from the mac or
printer locking up and needing a reset to various cdev/inits losing
resources and the directory getting so mangeled that needed to reformat
and restore from backup.
I have tried on various configuration and the problem traces down to the
DeskWriter driver v1.00 under MultiFinder 6.03 while printing from DAs (with
or without DA handler). All testing was done with my SE/30 with most recent
versions of software said to be comaptible with the DeskWriter.
Any1 else had similar problems or found a way to work around it?

Is it just us, or are there others who have flaky FDHD drives? In our IIx,
IIcx, and IIci machines (none over 15 mos. old) we're having a devil of a
time getting them to format HD diskettes, even right out of the box or bulk-
erased. (I know about the probx with previously-MS-DOS-formatted disks.)
ANYBODY have an idea of what's going on?

Subject: Font/DA catalog program needed
I'm looking for any information on the existence/availability
of a catalog program that can list multiple DA's and fonts
inside suitcase files. I like to keep my fonts and DA's in a
few large files instead of single suitcases but at catalog time
this leads to zero information on the contents.
Does anyone know of a program that will look inside the suitcase
to find out the contents? Are there any programmers out there
looking for a new project? For DA's it may be possible to catalog by
reading the names of the individual DRVR resources. For fonts
it would probably be a little more complicated to include the sizes.
Please e-mail responses to jdb@po.cwru.edu and I'll summarize
the voluminous results later. Thanks!

This comes up often, the 12-C DA is NOT freeware or shareware. It is a
commercial product, formerly published by Dreams of the Phoenix. When DotP

Subject: LCD Projection, etc.
We use a Kodak Datashow HR/M (that is, Macintosh model) with fair success
for PowerPoint. I haven't tried it with MacroMind Director, but animation
might present some problems if the LCD's don't "track" (switch from full
white to full black) fast enough. It partly depends on how demanding the
animation is.
The Kodak we use has a relatively small screen area (that is, the "original"
size of the screen image on the pad is about the same as the SE screen).
Therefore, even in a large hall with a large projector, you may be
disappointed in the image size (maybe a little more than half the projected
size of an 8.5x11" transparency).
Typically, large screen video projection of computer screens is TERRIBLE
(TV just doesn't have the resolution). Of course, if cost is not an
object, you might try the audio-visual company SIGGRAPH hired for their
last convention -- they had HDTV all over the place...

From: Joel Bender <joel%memory.uucp@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu>
Subject: Meander 1.0
A simple game from the archives of Joel Bender.
Description
The playing is an NxN square board with pieces that slide around, similar to
the Boss-15 puzzle. Each piece connects two pairs of its sides:
Top to left and bottom to right.
Top to right and bottom to left.
Top to bottom and right to left (called a "bridge").
When you start a new game, you specify the size of the board, the kind of game
(2-person, person against the computer, and person against the computer
advanced mode), and how many bridges (2 or 4). For play against the computer,
the user is always the first player.
When play begins, the "hole" is in the center of the board. Any set of pieces
can be slid into the hole. On a 5x5 board, clicking the top center will slide
the two pieces above the hole towards the hole. You'll get the picture...
After the pieces slide, a meandering line f
orms. The object of the game is to
be the first player to connect any two sides of the board with this meandering
line. Note that the corner pieces already connect two sides, so the meandering
line must go through at least two pieces. In the case of the bridges, the line
goes over or under and continues on to the next square.
You can undo a move, but note that you will always undo a pair of moves. If
you "goofed" and the computer won, selecting undo will still leave it your
turn.
One further restriction: To keep you from running a game indefinitely, you
cannot make a move that is the direct inverse of the computers move.
History
This game was shown to me by my friend and boss Foster Schucker while I was a
student at SUNY Fredonia. I believe that he got it from his friend and boss J.
D. Eisenberg while they were at the University of Delaware, some where. J.D.,
if you're out there, send me a letter, will you? Last I heard you were working
on Apple ]['s.
The old version ran on an ADM3A te
rminal with a graphics expansion card,
connected with a high speed (2400bps) RS-232 line to a Burroughs B6810. Any
ALGOL fans out there? You gotta love them 48bit stack machines...
After "porting" it to the IBM-PC when it first came out, I rewrote it for the
Mac, added the computer opponent, and (in a brief moment of inspiration) added
bridges. That addition makes things much more difficult, as you will see.
I have also mapped the game on a Rubik's Cube but couldn't figure out who won!
Neat paths though...
The future
Version 1.1 will tell you who won (rather than just the beep you get now).
Version 2.0 will be in color, show you the winning path, and play other people
over a network. I have another game in the works called "Crossroads" which is
based on a similar concept.
If you have any other ideas, let me know!

Subject: RedRyder and MultiFinder
Some time back, I guess I helped initiate a round of RedRyder/White Knight
bashing by posting an inquiry about WK and its alternatives. In that note, I
said RedRyder wouldn't work under Multifinder. I got a lot of varied opinions,
but no one contradicted my complaint.
But, since I'm writing this very note through RR 10.3 under MultiFinder,
obviously I was wrong. This came to my attention due to a recent posting by
Tom Coradeschi (tcora@PICA.ARMY.MIL).
I don't know why it didn't seem to work once upon a time, but when I tried
again tonight things seemed OK. At first. Then I noticed some screen updating
problems when I use VAX EVE. Ah well -- nothing as insidious as the problems
Zterm has with VT100 emulation (I think... if I'm not wrong again...) and
nothing a REFRESH command won't fix. Maybe RR 10.3 works well enough under MF
for my purposes. Certainly it doesn't fail utterly, as I originally said.
Apologies to anyone I may have misled, and to Scott Watson and Freesoft.
Incidentally, I STILL think the RR 10.3 manual is about the worst piece of
documentation in the business.

Subject: Shareware Fees (how to pay them)
I have been in favor of a system like the royalty payment system used
in the music business -- the American Society of Composers, Authors,
and Publishers (ASCAP) and a rival organization, BMI, sign up authors.
Users of royalty material send a lump-sum check to the society with an
itemized list, and the society redistributes the money (less operating
expenses) to authors on some periodic basis (like quarterly).
This kind of system would make it very mcuh easier to pay shareware
fees in our environment (a state university), where it can cost as
much as $35 just to write a check (not to mention the back-and-forth
paperwork). I avoid using shareware today, because the effort involved
in making the payment is so great. If I could make one lump-sum
payment to a society, there are quite a few items I would use.
By the way, I hear that ASCAP sends people around to bars to check the
juke boxes and make sure that owners are paying the proper royalties.
If that's true, it might be part of the model that a ShareWare Coop
might want to *skip*.

frequencies and intensities. Calls to SndDoCommand with various
combinations of waveTableCmd, noteCmd, ampCmd, phaseCmd, freqCmd,
etc., never produce an error result code, but often don't work. In
particular, specifying the frequency in the low three bytes of
param2, instead of a note value in the lowest byte, never works.

You seem to be quite confused... TokenTalk is the name of the Appletalk
PROTOCOL that was adapted to Toklen Ring. Apple's TokenTalk board is
merely a NuBus card with a 68000 processor, 512K of RAM and a small
INIT file that provides Appletalk services via Token Ring.
A Macintosh II with a TokenTalk card can (with MacDFT) do 3270 terminal
emulation (including multiple sessions) and SMB file transfer via
the Apple File Exchange Utility (directly from network to Hard disk).
The Apple TokenTalk card is a 4MB/sec (4 million BITS per second) implementation of Token Ring. IBM's newest cards also support a superset called 16MB Token Ring... Apple does not support 16MB Token Ring, you need to go thru a bridge
(like a Novell file server with two Token Ring cards in it) to access 16MB Token Ring with Apple's TokenTalk cards....
Hope this helps... BTW, this card has been available for 6 months...

* How well does E-mail work? (I am told that TOPS will

reliability (does it bomb, can recover, ..)

Subject: WindowShade/Rumors
Fellow MacPeople:
I have two questions, maybe three:
1. Recently, here at work we have downloaded WindowShade to test on an
SE/30. However, a problem arises frequently using Excel. When one
clicks the active windows title bar to have it disappear that works
fine. When trying to restore the window by clicking again sometimes
only parts of the window reappear. (in Excel sometimes just various
cells reapear) Any clues as to what could be the problem?
2. Second question: Are network consist of approximately 20 Macs connected
via PhoneNet boxes and utilizes TOPS for file transfer. We are
currently in the process of purchasing 15 SE/30's to add to this
network. Recently my boss has read of a new Apple product that will
out-perform an SE/30 for less money. As a government agency purchasing
Macintosh over IBM this would not look good if our purchase went through
and then Apple would release a cheaper and better product. Anyone
hear any similar rumors???!!??
3. Third question: We are also in the process of connecting the above
network to an existing IBM Novell network running on EtherNet. I
would appreciate any suggestions in connecting our Macs. We do not
have any file server for our existing network. Also we are prepared
to connect each Macintosh individually via some type of EtherNet card.
The existing Novell network uses WordPerfect Office as the primary
means of network navigation. The only large requirements that need be
met are to insure the Macintosh would be able to communicate via an
SNA Gateway (already exist on the Novell network) to an IBM 3090.
Is this possible?????? Currently we are using IRMA cards to emulate
3270 terminals. But we do not wish to buy 15 additional cards if
connecting to the EtherNet will provide a better path.
Thanx in advance. If there is sufficient interest I will summarize
for the net.
