Subject: 3D graphing program (fixed)
The version of this program posted a few days ago had a
problem in the toaster Mac version, now corrected (it would beep
and exit). This is to replace that entire posting. It consists
of four parts, mailed seperately.
The following is a program to generate three dimensional
graphs of mathematical functions. The graphs can be displayed
>From any angle and shaded. It was originally written several
years ago to demonstrate the number-crunching abilities of the
Mac, but I've updated it since. There are two versions, one of
which uses the 6888x. This is freeware; do anything with it but
sell it.

Here are the screen fonts for Bodoni, a font that's not built in to any
printer -- this is a downloaded font. This file is a BinHex of a StuffIt
1.5.1 file of a Font/DA Mover file. Bodoni is a nice font for both body
text and headlines. These screen fonts include styles for plain, bold,
italic and bold italic, as well as a super-bold "Poster" style.

Subject: Finder LAYO Resources
Use physical Icon replaces the normal icon of a floppy disk that is used by
the finder with a small picture of a macintosh (either a Mac II or an SE) with
an arrow pointing the the drive that the floppy is located in. This is
especially useful on a two floppy drive machine so you can tell which disk is
in which drive.
Copy Inherit and New Folder Inherit are properties related to Appleshare File
Servers. They have to do with the priviliges that folders get when they are
created or copied. (if these options are NOT selected, new or copied folders
will receive the default priviliges for the user creating the folder, if they
ARE selected, a copied folder will have the same priviliges as the original, and
a new folder will have the same priviliges as the folder that it is contained inin).

Here's part 1 of the screen fonts for Franklin Gothic, a downloadable
Adobe font. This file is a BinHex of a StuffIt 1.5.1 file of a Font/DA
Mover file. Plain, bold, italic and bold italic versions are included
in this file. There is also a "heavy" font, which is bolder than bold.
Franklin Gothic is a very nice sans-serif font for headlines. It's
similar to but a lot more interesting than Helvetica.

I haven't actually seen either of them on the Mac, but on checking
through some things I brought back with me from a trip to the U.S.
at the end of this year, I found this:
"Kim Leeper, in London, has announced completion of a SIL-based
SNOBOL4 interpreter for the Macintosh. This version of MacSNOBOL(tm)
uses a C-based library for its I/O. For more information about
MacSNOBOL, write or call:
Kim Leeper
Technical Director
Giedrys Enterprises
10 Rudloe Road
Balham, London SW12 0DS
United Kingdom
(01) 673-3584"
and
"A Macintosh version of Macro SPITBOL is in progress. The expected
release date is Fall, l987" (from Catspaw, see below)
That came from the SNOBOL4 Information Bulletin, summer l987, so
the information is a little old. I've been looking for a SNOBOL
myself, so I want to know how the two efforts worked out.
General information for those who don't know: SNOBOL4 is a text
processing language, written a long time ago by some people at
Bell Labs. The language itself has extremely powerful pattern
matching capabilties. It was first written in a macro language (SIL)
which has been ported to dozens of machines. SPITBOL is a somewhat
extended implementation--it is also transportable, runs much faster
than implementations of SIL SNOBOL4, but is not in the public domain
as is the SIL implementation. SNOBOL4 (and as far as I know, SPITBOL)
are interpreted, but in a batch mode so you dont get the advantages
you would expect from an interpreter. The language also has archaic
control structures. But even with its disadvantages, nothing is as
simple to use when you need to massage text. It has a small but
devoted following, from people in humanities to NSA code breakers (who
run it on Crays, if rumors can be believed).
Information on SNOBOL4: SNOBOL4 Information Bulletin, free but
published rather irregularly, from
SNOBOL4 Project
Department of Computer Science
Gould-Simpson Building
University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ 85721
(602)621-2018
Also, Catspaw, Inc., who has 680x0 SPITBOL and is supposed to have
brought it up on the Mac. They also publish a newsletter, and run
a bulletin board for SNOBOL4. My info is all old, but here it is:
Catspaw, Inc.

Salida, CO 81201

(303)539-4830 (BB, Fido address 15/22)
I'm going to check on the SNOBOL4 from England. If the Catspaw
SPITBOL is out for the MAC, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Subject: MacInHebrew
If you have recently successfully installed MacInHebrew
on a Mac SE, I need your help!
I obtained MacInHeb version 2 (or thereabouts), and the
fonts and DA appear to install correctly, in that they
show up in the DA & font lists. The CapsLock key
does move the cursor to the right, but to get a Hebrew
font I have to hold down the Option key. The fonts look
strange (can't be more specific).
All this on a SE with an internal 20MB disk (from Apple),
running System 6.0, Finder 6.1, 1 MB memory. I tried
it on fairly minimal system, with only rudimentary
DA's around, and no fancy CDEVs, standard fonts only.
Please reply to

since I do not have regular access to the BBS.
Thanks,

This little stack takes segmented .HQX files and puts them together

"Disk subsystem for Macintosh is announced" - Nashville 'Tennessean'
Northern Telecom announced yesterday what it said is the tele-
communications industry's highest capacity single disk subsystem for
Macintosh networks, the Memorybank 940E.
The new product, with a suggested retail price of $17,900, offers
a 24% increase in disk capacity over previous models in the company's
Memorybank line.
Officials said it is a hard disk/backup tape subsystem consisting
of 940 megabytes of disk capacity and 2.3 gigabytes of tape backup storage,
plus support software for disk management, data backup and restoration.
They also said the company has reduced list prices for its entire
Memorybank product line, effective immediately.
The 940E provides the same features as other Memorybank products,
Northern Telecom said, including:
Backup of AppleShare networks without shutting down AppleShare.
Ability to backup 2300 megabytes onto one small tape cartridge.
Support for time delay, volume and time backup, as well as a
variety of disk management routines.
The product line also consists of of 261,485 and 761 megabyte models,
officials said.
Just thought it might intrest Mac users out there.

Subject: Stars 1.8
Recently I got a copy of David P. Oster's Stars 1.8 from macserve@pucc,
which said that it would work on a Mac II. I installed the accessory using
Apple's Font/DA mover, went under the apple and started it up. Instead of
Blacking out the screen and displaying stars (like 1.3 which sort of works on
the mac II), it blacked out the top inch of the screen and proceded to draw
stars all over the finder screen. In the top inch it just diplayed garbage.
Does anyone out there know what the problem is or know of a new version that
works properly. Also does anyone know of any other good anti-screen-burn
desk accessories out that work on the mac II
