Subject: "server" for scanner, CD rom
I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there is a way (some type of device)
to let a number of macs share a device like a scanner or CD rom. I'm thinking
of something that would act as a "scanner" server, in effect. We have a number
of mac IIs that we would like to connect to our CD rom and scanner.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Subject: Cal 3.02, a network calendar part 1 of 3
This is Cal 3.02. It is a calendar desk accessory suitable for
solo use or for shared use over a Appleshare or TOPs network.
It is a permanent calendar, for any year covered by our
current calendar. It handles the fact that 2000 is not a
leap year but 1900 is (the division by 400 rule.)
You may associate up to 32k of text with any day.
Cal has on-line help, just press the Help button in the
About box. It also tells you which day of the year this is
and the number of days remaining in the year.
Text is stored in a calendar database consisting of one
master folder. Inside the master folder is a separate
folder for each year, inside that up to 12 folders, one
for each month, and inside that are up to 31 text files,
one for each day. Since each text message is any separate
file, people can change different parts of the database
simultaneously without fear.
You may have many calendar databases, just use the Open
button to select the one you want to use. Cal remembers
it, so you start up using that one next time.
Cal periodically checks to see if other programs have
changed the calendar database, so it can be used on a
network.
If you write protect a calendar database in the Finder,
then only you will be able to change that calendar database.
Also in this posting is a companion program, "Calendar Tools",
which can convert calendar files from my earlier "Calendar"
program. It can also pack an entire calendar database into
a single text file for maintenance. In fact, it can convert
>From any of the three formats to any of the three formats.
Calendar Tools can also set Cal's week to begin on any day,
for you users outside the U.S.
Cal is shareware.
Don't pay if you don't use Cal. If you do use it, but just don't
like it, pay and complain, and I'll do my best to resolve your
complaints in my next version. If you use it, and like it, please
send money and praise.
CE Software's Calendar Maker program can import old Calendar
data files, so you can print with that, for the moment.

Subject: Ethernet Problems -- Dove Board Recall
For your information: Dove has asked us to return our FastNet/SE boards
for an "upgrade" which they believe might be related to the intermittent
Ethernet problems we have been experiencing. My understanding is that
Dove is recalling boards that were shipped to others, too (but I didn't
personally talk to Dove, so I might have that wrong).
By the way, the problem affected NCSA Telnet as well as Brown tn3270 --
which is not exactly surprising, since they share the same network
interface drivers -- but then, with so many different pieces of software
sharing memory, problems with just about anything can masquerade
as problems with just about anything else. (That's the kind of sentence
one writes after struggling with intermittent network errors for weeks).
If anything else interesting comes up, I'll let you know.

Subject: laserwriter page limiting and such
In Info-Mac #170, Bob B. Funchess asked about some postscript code to
limit the number of pages in a doc. Richard Silverman from Wesleyan
university posted an ftp site for this some time ago on the net (I
can't remember where). I liked the code very much, but had two
questions for Richard. I tried to e-mail him and got no response. A
programmer hacked a solution to the first thing I will ask, but I'm
still trying to accomplish the second.
The first was that my supervisor loved the idea of a modified laser
prep file, but wanted to be exempted from the page limit or copy
limit.
Although probably not the most graceful solution in the world, the
programmer set up a string in the program to look for various user
names, and then exempt them.
My idea was to just check for maybe 2 spaces at the end of a chooser
name, then exempt them. If anyone knows how to do this, input would
be appreciated.
The second was to change the text file I got from Richard (originally
probably a DeRezed LaserPrep file) back to a LaserPrep to have the
LaserWriter download it automatically. I thought MPW could do a
build, but I really don't have a clue as to how to use the thing.
Again, any input would be appreciated.
As for the location of what Richard Silverman called modlprep, it is
available via annonymous ftp from annas.wesleyan.edu. I just tried to
ftp to there again, but am having difficulty (as I did when I
initially tried to get it) connecting to it. Chances are the problem
is on that end.
Sorry to give the ftp site last, but if I had given it first, noone
would have read my problem. If anyone is interested in the modified
modlprep I already have, I can be reached at the mail address
above/below this posting.
Thanks in advance,
and Hope this helped,

Subject: Macintosh Passwords
I am currently looking for a program that will make it possible
to have a "password" system on a Macintosh SE. We have a problem of people
using the Mac that should not be, and are looking for a program that will
not let anyone to the desktop without typing thier account/password.
Has anyone ever heard of something of this nature? Is there a PD
program like this, or one that we could purchase?
Also, recently I saw a program called "VirexGuard" that would check
a diskette for a virus no matter what program you were running (MicroSoft
Word, Excel, PageMaker, etc...) or even from the desktop. This program cost about
$100 and I was wondering if there was a PD program like this. Someone
mentioned Gatekeeper to me, but I was not sure if it would run when you
were in a different program.
Any suggestions/ideas would be of great help.

Subject: Measuring Reaction Times with the ADB
I'm writing a psychology experiment that measures reaction times (RTs) to
various stimuli by measuring the time it takes for a person to type a key
on the keyboard. I remember reading somewhere that the ADB keyboards had
a +/- 16 millisecond random error between keypress and detection by the
mac.
Questions:
1) Where did I read about it? Is there a tech note discussing it?
2) If the ADB is not suitable (I would like +/- 1 millisecond timing accuracy
if possible), are there any relatively inexpensive IO boxes (i.e. around
$100) that would allow me attach a few buttons? I have a National
Instruments catalog, but their cheapest starts around $600.
3) How about hooking some switches to the SCC (the modem or printer ports)
and using the handshaking lines as 1-bit inputs...where do I find the
documentation for sensing this in software?
4) If you have any other suggestions...please mail me. I will summarize
responses and post it.

Help!
I've got another MacProblem that I can't handle.
I have a numerical model I've written in QuickBasic and then compiled.
I'm running on a Mac Plus with 2.5M RAM. I have DiskLock on standby so
that I can leave the Mac unattended without fear.
Unfortunately, the model takes awhile to run, so I left it overnight.
When I returned the next morning, the HardDisk was locked OK, but the
application (the numerical model) had paused or suspended execution.
I suppose that when the DiskLock DA executes, it puts *everything* on
pause. Is there any way to disable this, or do I have to pull off the
DiskLock to do it? And is the same thing true of generic screen savers
like Pyro? That is, do executing applications suspend even though
calculations are being performed?

Subject: Review of NIST anti-virus paper...
Recently, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST,
the successor to the National Bureau of Standards) published a short
paper entitled: _Computer Viruses and Related Threats: A Management
Guide_. I have had a chance to read through it, and here are my
comments:
NIST Virus study comments
First and formost, the NIST paper is an excellent, broad summary of knowledge
of prevention measures for "electronic threats". It does not deal with the
specifics of protecting this system, or that system, but rather looks at two
classes of systems (multi-user and single-user) in two different environments
(stand-alone or networked) and discusses six aspects of the security issue:
General Policies, Software Management, Technical Controls, Monitoring,
Contingency Planning, and Network Concerns.
As much as I want to say this is an excellent paper, I find two flaws that hold
it back:
1 -- The paper is not always consistent in its tone and advice
2 -- Some advice presented in the paper is based on false assumptions
Inconsistency --
The authors of the paper appear to have a problem accepting that any successful
policy to deal with electronic threats must rely on the cooperation of the user
community. At certain points, it explictly states system managers must
*prevent* users from performing actions of questionable risk altogether, and
later on it states that users can do the same thing under controlled
circumstances.
The problem of electronic threats is *everyone's* problem, and *everyone* must
be part of the solution. The underlying attitude of the authors seems to be
"users cannot be counted on". For better or for worse, users *must* be counted
on, and when that is not possible, made accountable.
Other examples of where the authors make one statement, and then back down from
it elsewhere in the paper exist; this is the one that I happen to have picked
up. By the same token, there are only a few instances of this type of hemming
and hawing.
False Assumptions --
The paper forwards the myth that programs obtained from public sources
(bulletin boards; public network libraries) are inheritely tainted, and that
shareware/freeware/etc. should really be avoided. Certainly applications
obtained from these sources are riskier, but these risks can be minimized
through careful selection of sources, (i.e. public sources with a large pool of
experienced users feeding from it), by judicious testing of software obtained
>From these sources, and by maintaining an internal library of these
applications. This last step (completely overlooked by Wack and Carnahan) of
providing users access to shareware from a corporate-sanctioned libraray can go
far in ensuring that applications from riskier, public sources are not brought
into the corporate computing environment.
By the same token, the paper forwards the myth that commercially obtained
applications are inheritly untainted. The Aldus Freehand infection (among
others) demonstrates that this is clearly not true.
Summary --
Summarizing, I would say this paper is a very good source for technical users
looking to gain information about how to go about addressing the virus problem,
and a good source for corporate managers looking at the same question. The
paper's inconsistency on the role users must play in a successful anti-virus
strategy, and it's partial reliance on a false assumption hold it back from
being excellent on both counts.
Copies of the NIST paper can be obtained for $2.50 from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, 202.783.3238. The document is NIST
Special Publication 500-166, GPO #003-003-02955-6.
The opinion expressed in this review is mine, and does not in any way reflect
the official policy of the MITRE Corporation, or any of MITRE's clients.

this question come up in the last couple of months, but don't have
