CEO summary:
Being new to the mac I have a lot to learn about the way things can
be done. What I would like to be able to do with my program is have
the user enter a list of items they wish to display/print. After
they have entered all they want, they should be able to change the
list at will before continuing; something like the selection boxes on
DAMover or Apple File Exchange. Ive used ResEdit to peek at AFE and
other programs only to find that they use UserItems in their DLOGs.
These, currently, are beyond me. Can someone provide some sort of
sample on creating such lists/controls for my own DLOGs or tell me
where I may find something like that? Thanks in advance.

I need some help downloading Macintosh applications. I am using anonymous FTP
to get the files to our VAX - no problem. I am using Kermit 0.9(40)
to transfer them from our VAX down to our Macintosh. I have determined that if
the extension of the file is "HQX", the file must be run through BinHex 4.0.
I tried doing that on GateKeeper-111.hqx and got a file with a "SIT" extension,
which I see from documentation on your system must then be run through Stuffit.
I do not have Stuffit, but I see in UTIL there are Stuffit files (all with HQX
extensions). Can I download them, run them through BinHex and then use them?
As you can see, this is new to me.
I would like to get the most recent version of Kermit running here at Cerritos
College. I have recently had to battle viruses, so I would also like to get
GateKeeper up and running. We have Disinfectant 1.6 and Vaccine up now.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you have
documentation which covers my needs, point me at it and I'll read through it.
At this point things are a bit overwhelming...

Subject: Info-Mac Digest V8 #39
Sorry to clutter the info-mac digest with my letter, but I'm hoping that
someone could help me with some information. I'm relatively new to the
Mac world and find just about everything I run into to be an interesting
experience...so please excuse my lack of familiarity.
I recently ran across a DA named Twelve-C tm which is a simulated
Hewlett Packard calculator (model 12C), which is the business calculator
that they produce. It is true to the actual calculator in just about all
of its functions...(I'm not able to check them all since I am unfamiliar
with most of the business functions). My question is...are there any other
DA's of their other models, more specifically the 11C or *28S*(the
scientific calculators). If so, where are they available? Are they
*freeware* or shareware or just too expensive?
If is freeware or shareware, and someone can show me how, I would
gladly send in the Twelve-C tm DA to be archived. You can respond to me
directly to save the net some trouble and I can summarize it later.
Looking to the future....

Subject: Info-Mac Digest V8 #39 (_Launch 2.0)
There are a few nasty bugs which have been discovered in _Launch 2.0:
Although the Finder appears in the SFGetFile Dialog box, installing the
Finder will cause _Launch to crash.
When installing applications, _Launch may run out of memory. It is
recommended that the _Launch memory partition be increased to 64K while
installing applications, and changing icons.
When changing icons, if the SFGetFile Dialog box overlaps the _Launch
window, the program will crash.
Updating the window may take a long time. Using the disk cache will
significantly decrease the update time.
So far these are the only known problems. If you avoid these
circumstances, you should not have any problems.
Enjoy.

Subject: low-cost printer sharing
I'm trying to find a low-cost hardware/software solution to the following
problem:
We have a Laserwriter which we want to be shared by a
VAXstation, two Macintoshes and an IBM PS/2 model 80. The Macs and the
Laserwriter are LocalTalked together, of course, but if we want to print
>From the VAX, we have to shut down the printer and change the DIP-switch
settings so that it uses the RS-232 serial port. Yes, it's a pain.
There's no shortage of good products which make such printer
sharing possible (most notably PacerLink and PacerPrint, around $3K, or
AsyncServer, which reqires a $2.5K FastPath box). We're willing to invest
in an Ethernet card for the PS/2 (perhaps there exists one with a LocalTalk
port as well?). Is there a way to accomplish this sharing for a more
reasonable amount of money? Any suggestions are thoroughly appreciated.

Subject: MacUser's shiny 80 Meg drives
I can't stand it! In MacUser's Feb "Buyer's Guide" to external hard
drives, they say in "the Bottom Line" that "The best picks for retail
purchases include the Apple Hard Disk 80SC ... Though admittedly expensive,
Apple hard drives are simply the best-designed and -built systems available."
But if you look at the details, the Apple 80SC has "Cons: Expensive. Runs
warm. Noisy. 90-day warranty." Indeed. MacUser selected 18 "finalists"
according to a strange procedure that permits them to "highlight as many
vendor's drives as possible" (i.e., sell the most ads possible?) ... among
the 18 "finalists", the Apple 80SC tied for honors as the noisiest and was
one of the warmest. MacUser notes in the detailed tables that the Apple 80SC
uses an "outdated Quantum mechanism", and rates it as fifth from the bottom
out of 25 80 Meg drives according to its Diskbasher benchmarking software.
And of course the Apple drive has the shortest warranty, 3 months compared to
a year, 2 years, even 5 years.
So how did the Apple disk get picked as a winner in the hot 80 Meg
category? A little Apple polishing, maybe? I've thought MacUser has
published some good lab tests, but when it comes to their editorial
"judgement" ...

Subject: More on floptical disks
Jurgen Botz, JurgenB@UMass.bitnet, recently wrote about "floptical"
drives(Info-Mac V8 #34, 9 Feb 90).
> I just got more information regarding the 3.5" 20MB floptical drive ...
To add a little info (and maybe some mis-info): Mirror Technologies
(800-654-5294, 612-633-4450), a direct-sales Mac hardware company, advertises
a 20 Meg floptical drive for $827, using Kodak technology. Jasmine markets
(or did, it is not in their most recent ads) a similar drive. Verbatim
markets the Kodak drive (at least, here in France). Macworld reviewed 10 and
20 Meg floptical drives (p.119, July 89), and liked the Jasmine best of the
flopticals. I think some of these drives use 4" diskettes, not 3.5", so not
all could handle PC diskettes.
Who manufactures the floptical drive machanisms? Kodak, for one (though
I seem to remember that Insite and Kodak technology is the same, or at least
of was originally). Info has been posted to this digest about Briar
Technology, San Jose, California (also a licensee of Insite?). There are
20Meg and 40Meg models. I noticed a full page ad in Byte a couple of months
ago by a German company offering Kodak 40 Meg 3.5" SCSI floptical drives
capable of reading/writig PC diskettes ($600 or so? OEM quantity prices).
The original floptical drive is the 10 Meg Kodak drive (on the market,
according to the MacWorld survey; not, according to an old network posting).
There were problems reported with flawed media, or with software unable to
lock out bad sectors. Has this problem been solved? Here Verbatim recently
changed their drive software--because of problems?
Originally, the diskettes were supposed to cost $10 or $20 each. But
according to the MacWorld survey, they are more like $90, or 3 for $177 from
Mirror technologies. I don't see much of an advantage for floptical drives
over removable hard drives based on the Syquest 40 (alias 44) Meg mechanism.
With the right software flopticals can read/write PC diskettes, and they
can't experience head crashes. But the Syquest removables are 2 or 3 times,
faster media cost is comparable (down to $90/40Meg cartridge), the drives can
actually be cheaper than the floptical drives ($80 less at Mirror Techno-
logies), and I've read few complaints about reliability. I wish manufacturers
would all install 20 Meg floppies and drive the price down, but until then ...

I am a member of a team designing a 50 node Mac and PC network for our
Journalism and Mass Communication Department at Abilene Christian
University. Campus connectivity issues and managment needs have caused
our design team to look toward the VMS platform as a server.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who is operating an AppleTalk

and the like.
The folks here at UNH have found the ShareWare stuff works the best and is much
cheaper!!! To combat WDEF they use GateKeeper Aid, to keep most others in
check they use Vaccine (it flags ALL devious behavior) and for general scanning
of disks they use Disinfectant 1.6
Just a note to folks going out to BUY the latest and greatest commercial stuff
to combat WDEF, to remove this virus from any disk, just rebuild the DESKTOP
file. This is done by holding down the COMMAND and OPTION keys ANYTIME the
finder is being activated (restarting, exiting a program, etc.).
WDEF only attacks the DESKTOP file, NOTHING else.
NOT the System, the Finder, Word 4.0 or anything other than the DESKTOP file.
There are valid resouces that have the WDEF signature, these reside in
almost EVERY application (key word: APPLICATION). They define the
Macintosh WINDOWS, size, shape, etc.
Sorry to keep rambling on and on, but I had TONS of questions today about
WDEF and the campus AppleShare servers!!! :)
