Subject: Color Printing on Mac+
After reading an article in the recent _Scientific American_ about the
Mandelbrot set, I wanted to write my own version to examine the character-
istics of the set. What I want to do is draw the area of the set I'm look-
ing at on the screen(in pattens), but also have the option to print it in
color (with IW2) without the patterns. Is that possible having the program
draw in patterns but print in solid colors? Would I have to draw patterns
to the screen, then when I print, redraw with colors?
I also need some info about the printing techniques in a program. If
someone has some Pascal source available showing the print Mgr calls, I'd
appreciate receiving a copy.
Send any replies to: BPB9204@TAMVENUS (BITnet)
By the way, I'm writing it with these intentions on a Mac plus.

Rob-
I have a DataDesk 101 connected to my Mac Plus. I'd say it is a
definite improvement over the standard Mac Plus keyboard all around.
I haven't used one on the Mac SE/II/SEx/IIx/IIcx. I would venture to say
that it is comparable to the Extended Keyboard and the choice is yours
since it only depends on the feel you like from the keyboard. I also
like the DataDesk on the Mac Plus since it has the extra keys and I find
myself using the keyboard more than the mouse through macroing. The
keyboard comes with a macro program but I strongly suggest QuickKeys since
it is the best around. QuickKeys comes with an init for the DataDesk
keyboard.

Subject: hard disk
I'm looking for a fairly fast, reliable hard disk in the 20-45MB
size. Should be under 40ms, hopefully pretty quiet and stackable
(rear or side ventilation) and under $700. It will be used as an
AppleShare file server, connected to a MacPlus.
Any suggestions? I have priced the CMS SDU-30, which is within
our budget, but I've heard they are unreliable. I've also gotten
pricing on a MicroNet NS30 and a MacBest 30MB. Any one of these
might do, but I can't find spec sheets or one in stock. Anyone
know about reliability and noise on these units?
Thanks.

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone out there in netland has come across
a student version of PSPICE (circuit simulation program) for the MAC.
If *ANYONE* has heard of such a program, please send mail to 602FOSMOE
@gw.wmich.edu on the internet. I would also appreciate any information
regarding any simulation program similiar to PSPICE.
Thanks

There is both a screen verison and postscript version of the lower
case script "ell" (the one with a loop in it) in both the Bartholomew
and Bellsley fonts. They are located in the info-mac archives as:
/font/belsley-bartholomew.hqx; 67K.

I am also considering putting my II under the desk. The most
convenient way to do it is place it in a rack on its side. The unit
was clearly not designed to be mounted this way. Is it safe to do
so? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: se/30 80 partition
I just wanted to know if anyone has used any partition software with the
se/30 80meg drive from apple. I really need to use a password partition
that will work with the se30. I tried the software that came with my old
jasmine 20...but it wouldnt recognize device 0. Any suggestions would
really be welcome.

Subject: TMON 2.8.1 and 68030s
An incompatibility exists between TMON 2.8.1 and 68030-based machines such as
the Macintosh IIx and the Macintosh SE/030. The problem is that the TMON
loader does not recognize the 68030 as one of the processors it knows about
and, therefore, refuses to load the Monitor. This can be easily fixed using
either MPW or ResEdit as follows:
If you have MPW, use the following script. Change all <d>'s to the Macintosh
delta character (option-d) and then run the script.
Directory {Boot}'System Folder:' #...or whatever directory TMON is in.
Echo "include <d>"TMON<d>" ;" <d>
"include <d>"TMON<d>" 'MonI' (2) AS 'MonI' (3) ;" <d>
"include <d>"TMON<d>" 'MonC' (2) AS 'MonC' (3) ;" <d>
| Rez -a -t APPL -c TMON -o "TMON"
If you have ResEdit, do the following:
Open the TMON application and find the MonC resources. You will find two
resources numbered 0 and 2. Duplicate resource 2 using Duplicate in the Edit
menu; this will produce a copy with a random number. Use Get Info to renumber
the new resource to the number 3. Repeat the above steps for the MonI
resources in TMON. Quit and save TMON.
You now have upgraded your TMON 2.8.1 to 2.8.2; you may change the version
numbers if you wish.
The above procedure works *only* for TMON 2.8.1. If you have an earlier TMON,
contact ICOM Simulations about upgrading it to version 2.8.2.

Subject: Word processing bibliography builders?
Is anyone aware of a word processing program available on the Mac
with the ability to build a bibliography or reference section using an
outside database file of sources? For example, in Scribe one simply
has to reference the source by its "tag", as defined in a separate
bibliography file, and it will automatically construct the reference
section for printing in the appropriate format. Such a system of
cross-referencing is not available in MacWrite or Word.
Any suggestions of how to make developing a bibliography in Word a less
tedious and painful process?
