Subject: Administrivia
New additions to the archive:
/help -- new directory to contain all sorts of
administrative stuff. For example:
/help/recent-files.txt -- lists all of the files added or modified in
the past two weeks. Similar to 00dir.recent
in the old archive on sumex-2060.
/virus/virus-rx-14a1.hqx -- the latest version. Finds Hpat and Init 29
viruses.
/tn/sound-docs-part1.hqx -- three part MSWord document from Apple.
Replaces Sound Manager chapter in IMV.
Is anyone out there in Bitnet land able to access new files like these from
the Bitnet servers?

Subject: 3D graphing program
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.

Subject: ASLEdit+ V-1.0/a3
Here's a tiny text editor, ASLEdit+ V1.0a3 written by Mr.Hiroo Yamada, which I
downloaded from NIFTY serve. Both standalone application and DA version are
included. There's nothing fancy as an English text editor. However, it's the
*first* freeware editor which is capable of editing Japanese two-byte
characters (Kanji Code). It also comes with ASLFont+, a fixed width character
set like the Monaco font. Probably its optimal use is the communication in
Japanese. By using ASLFont+, Zenkaku (Fullwidth) and Hankaku (Halfwidth)
characters properly appears on the screen. Needs BinHex 4 and StuffIt to
decode.
I've got an explicit permission from the author to post this code here.
Here's some excerption from the packed ReadMe document. Enjoy!

Subject: Guardian, Disktop and Autoblack incompatibility
Following up on my claim that the Autoblack screen dimmer is
incompatible with SUM Guardian in a recent digest, John Salmento pointed
out to me that it does work OK. I just went back to check my claim.
The problem I described actually requires AutoBlack and the DiskTop INIT
**together** to cause Guardian to fail. Neither one alone seems to
cause the problem. I'm glad to find this out because I can live without
the DiskTop INIT, but do find AutoBlack and Guardian to be very useful.

Subject: SE/30 info
I saw on the cover of the latest issue of MacWeek a stack that's being
distributed by Apple at MacWorld that describes the new features of the Mac
SE/30. I was wondering if there was any way that I could get this stack. I
figured that it was something that you could post. I'm sure that there are
alot of people who would be interested in it. Thanks.

Subject: XCMDs for CD-ROM drive
The "Audio CD Demo" stack contains 10 XCMDs for controlling the play of
audio CD disks from HyperCard using Apple's CD SCSI drive. In addition to
playing audio CDs, you can randomly access any point on the disk, play a
specific, small section of the disk, retrieve detailed status and addressing
information, etc. The XCMDs are fully functional, but will only work in this
demo stack. Information for purchasing the unprotected XCMDs is included.
Comments, bug reports etc. can be passed directly to me.
