Subject: AppleTalk->TokenRing->Internet ???
I am seeking some advice from communication experts. I am setting
up an AppleTalk LAN with AppleShare file server. I will need to
connect this LAN to campus network (CAN) in order to get to Internet.
As all the signs on the sun show, CAN will be a TokenRing network,
thus I need to have a bridge from AppleTalk to TokenRing which
supports TCP/IP protocols. TokenTalk does support that I hardware level
(so I was told) but Apple has no software to go in pair. Liaison does
support TokenRing but not TCP/IP (Infosphere tech rep told me that it may
in the future but it is not sure yet). Will Kinetics or Cayman box do
the job? Anybody has seen such a connection in action? Any ideas/info/
help welcome...

This tool "blesses" the specified folder, making the folder's disk
bootable with the system in the folder. It was made as a part of a MPW
script that erases and copies down new contents to student's macs from
a file server. (MPW's erase doesn't remove the boot blocks from a hard
disk. It seems.)

Burning Fuse is a little startup document that does nothing until you

hope to improve the sound effects. (There aren't any!)

Subject: Cmd key equivalents in Versaterm
I've been having a problem with my copy of Versaterm (version 3.2) on my Mac
II with its extended keyboard. Versaterm is not consistently recognizing the
extended keyboard, and therefore allowing me to use the normal command key
equivalents (Cmd-C for Copy, Cmd-R for Receive file, etc.) Can anyone out
there offer a suggestion as to what the problem is? I can tell you that the
Keycaps DA (for instance) is correctly recognizing the extended keyboard.

In order to help my wife organize her multitude of diskettes (mainly backups of
files on our hard disk) I wrote a HyperCard stack that does just this. I'll be
glad to post it if there's interest. It'll take me a few days, though, as I'm

Subject: Duplicate-file-finder utility needed
None of the program you mention does not have the capabilities
you want. DiskTop would do the job if all files were in the
same folder.
I am not aware of any program which would do exactly what you
want but... you should try DiskLibrarian to display on the
screen all the information you want to see sorted either
alphabetically by file name or by disks. Version 1.7 is
available from Sumex and its Bitnet shadows. 1.8x was the last
shareware version before they went commercial. You still have
to do deleting by hand, but if you have DiskTop around or use
MultiFinder this shouldn't be a problem.
BTW, Steve, is abbott a Bitnet node? Our mailer doesn't seem
to know about it.

Subject: Electronic Paper annotator for grading
Does anyone know of a shareware or free annotator along the lines
of Deneba's Comment? Comment has a lot of bells and whistles
that we really don't need. It also is a DA and takes 123K on
a disk with very little room, not to mention all the problems
involved with protecting it from unauthorized use.
The instructors would like to collect instruction disks from
students and check the homework on the disk, annotate it and
return it to the student. They would need to correct MS-Word
documents and True BASIC source files.
I would greatly appreciate any leads that anyone can give me.
Please send all responses directly to me at hebey@ucsd.edu;
I have little time to read news right now.
Thank you.

Attached is MacHumaine, the best calligraphic laser font that I have found
in the public domain. The author (Bill Horton) not only gives away his
finished product, but also includes his Fontographer file so others can
alter it to suit their tastes. That is true public domain. I found it on
the latest release of the Club Mac cd, which has the best collection of
pd and shareware laser fonts that I am aware of. You can judge for yourself
it it is worth more than its price.
The next issue of PUBLISH magazine (October) was scheduled (and hopefully still
is scheduled to have an article telling what is now available in PostScript
typefaces.
Another good source of info about the typeface scene is PERSONAL PUBLISHING
magazine. It has a monthly column called "Type Drawer" which illustrates six
new typefaces. In the last issue they showed an Adobe font called "Cheq." It
is a chess typeface, and the column said it was freeware. Has anyone seen it?

In the mean time, you can patch TMON.
Use ResEdit to duplicate the monI and monC resources in TMON (not sure about
the capitalisation, but you'll see it) number 2 into a 3. That is all.
(The 0's are for 68000 macs, 2 for 68020, and 3 (identical to 2) for 68030).

I want to partition my hard disk into several virtual disks. It is my

partitions, the distinction being that hard partitions each have their own
desktop/driver whereas soft partitions have a single desktop/driver. I am

We have used Alsoft's MultiDisk partitioning utility for precisely this
purpose. The partitions can be password-protected from modification, but
set to mount automatically on bootup. Alternatively, the partitions can
be mounted from a DA. The software which comes with the Symantec Utilities
is not recommended. The partitions created with SUM do not allow concurrent
password protection and automounting. They also have some problems with
selective backing up and restoring.

I received a copy of SuperHuman RAM Disk by Paul Mercer with my (in)HumanTouch

Subject: StipBitz 1.0b0
This utility was written by me on request by a needing Mac user in
comp.sys.mac. It works OK on my SE/30 with MultiFinder (and a few
INITS) and does nothing untoward whatsoever.
This utility first asks for three values, an AND, an OR and a XOR
value. This should be between 0 and 255. In then repeats the
following cycle:
Prompt for a source file
Prompt for a destination file
Read the source file (1k at a time)
Convert all the text in the source file:
AND with the AND mask
OR with the OR mask
XOR with the XOR mask
Write the destination file
until "cancel" is clicked instead of giving either source or
destination file. If you have LARGE files or work with floppies, this
may take a while, so the program CAN background.
It's shareware (if a few bucks is too much - send me a postcard with
a smiley face or something...) and the author is me:

Subject: Textures and a Marathon 020 accelerator card
I recently installed an accelerator card (Marathon 020 with a floating
point coprocesser) in my Mac SE (with 4Mbytes on the card and 1Mbyte on the
motherboard). I have fond that while every other application seems to run
fine, when I run the program Textures 1.01f, I run into problem when I try
to print the typseset results. Specifically, in sending the bit maps of the
CM fonts to the laserprinter, with the accelerator running, the postscript sent
to the printer tells the printer the bit map is to be interpreted at six pixels
per inch rather than the usual 300, causing huge magnifications. The character
origin to origin distances are also incorrect. Turning the accelerator card
off causes the postscript file to be correctly generated (at least when I don't
generate a system crash).
It seems there is something wrong in the floating point computations, but I
dont get any problems in any other application that I have tried. With the
floating point coprocessor turned off, whenever I try to run Textures I get
a system crash. I have talked to Barry Smith about the problem, but he can
think of no reason for why Textures should be incompatible with any
accelerator in printing the typeset files (in every other respect, Textures
works well with the Marathon board). Dove (makers of the Marathon board) also
have no explanation for the moment.
Has anyone had any similar experience with the Marathon accelerator giving
problems, or with Textures not fully working with other accelerator boards?
Any help/comments would be appreciated.

Subject: Thanks For help With HD Probs
I would like to thank everyone who sent replies to my plea for help on
how to get a new driver installed on my HD. The Hard disk is an internal
disk with no switchable power supply so it wasn't as simple as just
turning off the drive, booting, launching the updater, and turning on the
drive. After exhausting all other routes I had to go with a risky method
similar to this though. I was forced to open my mac II, disconnect the hard
disk controller cable ( Excuse my terminology if that's not what it's called
in Mac's, It's probably called "DeskTop" somethin or other :-) ), boot,
launch the updater, wait for it to make its first scan of SCSI devices,
then carefully plug the controller cable back in, and have the updater do
another SCSI search. It worked fine, didn't loose a thing, though I hope
I never have to do that again. Thanks to everyone for the help.
BTW. Is there a resource editor that can copy portions of picts into cicn's?
I can't find any way to make resedit or anything else I have do this.
Thanks Again,

Subject: UUPC Project for Macs
I'm being inundated with mail on this subject, and it certainly looks as if
there's a lot of interest in this, so I have put together what I have with a
short file explaining what I've done, and what you need to get it going. If
you can't get to the networks, send me a disk + return postage (international
reply coupons from any post office will do nicely). You might also want to get
in touch with the author of the original (see below). You will need StuffIt
1.5 to unpack this as it has embedded folders.
The uupc distribution has been around for a while, and I don't deserve any
credit for it. All I did was to convert the srcs to Think C so that it could
be built as a standalone application (the original had to be run under the
Aztec C shell). As I said in my previous msg, the port is only half-complete,
but it doesn't look as if I'll be able to spend much time on it, so I'll post
what I've got. I can't get mail to Stuart Lynne, and he hasn't approved my
changes.
The user i/f is pretty flaky, but it does xfer files as a good rate: I get
over 2100 bps over a 2400 baud link talking to a System V mail host running
HDB uucp.
Here is Stuart Lynne's original Q & A file:
---
August 9, 1987 uupc Questions and Answers uupc Development
The following is some commonly asked questions about uupc and, of
course, the answers to these questions.
1. What does "uupc" stands for?
It is an acronym for "UUcp for PC's", but it is also a pun on
uucp, which is in turn an acronym for "Unix to Unix CoPy".
2. What does uupc do?
It gives a personal computer the capability to become a
"node" in the UUCP (or a similar) network and exchange
information such as electronic mail and USENET news with
other computers on that network.
