Subject: Booting AppleShare volumes
Matt,
I'm sorry that you did not succeed in "booting" from your AppleShare volume.
I have had success, as I mentioned, using the technique I described under
TOPS and MacServe (and the Keeper -- remember that one?) I have never tried
this on an AppleShare server. AppleShare may have a mechanism to prevent
the server from being the startup volume. OR, it may simply be that your
AppleShare volume was READ ONLY. Remember, the startup volume must be
read/write.
Good Luck, and let me know how you make out.

Subject: disk drive enclosures
We have replaced 80-megabyte Quantum drives in four MAC IIs with larger drives.
Now we have these drives that we would like to use as external drives. Does
anyone know where we might be able to purchase off-the-shelf enclosures that
already have the power supply, connector, and internal cable?
Thanks,

Subject: How to send PostScript output to a file?
My question is the same as that of Dan Ellison in this Digest, Jan. 5: How
does one send PostScript output to a file? He requested an e-mail direct
reply, but I suspect that the answer is of more general interest and ask that
it be posted publicly.
I have seen some discussion related to this matter here and elsewhere. The
gist seems to be to print to the laser printer, but immediately after clicking
OK on the Print dialogue box, press command-F to get the PostScript file (or
command-K to also get the laser prep file). I have tried this in MicroSoft
Works without success (except once, and I don't know why it worked that time).
I was able to get the PostScript file (with laser prep) when I was already
directly connected to the laser printer, but of course this defeats the
purpose. But then I ran into another problem: Even with the laser prep file
prefixed to the PostScript file for my document, I was unable to get the laser
printer to print anything.
Any ideas?

Subject: Imagewriter LQ spacing woes
Yes, from all I've heard, the LQ is a dog. But it is actually worse
than you say in one instance. The problem with spacing (all words running
together) also occurs with the Imagewriter II. It happens when (at least
in WriteNow when) you don't check "Use Printer Spacing" in the Page Setup
dialog. T/Maker claims that this is an effect of screen chars vs printer
chars - "...widths of characters for the printer are slightly different
>From the widths for the screen." So you can take your choice between looking
nice on-screen (don't use printer spacing) or looking nice on the page (use
printer spacing) but not both.
And they told me it was a WSYWIG machine!! NO!! It's WYGD

Hello technican interested people,
I remember a discussion about a year or one and a half year ago
here in the INFO-MAC digest about the connection of an extra -- larger
than 9" -- monitor to the MAC by using a special prepared "video
connector". But at that time I had no interest on the discussion
because of having no access to a MAC. Now I have an own MAC and
I feel that I need a larger screen...
Can anybody tell me that cheep solution to get large screen access?
Does anybody have experience with such a solution -- not a full page
screen?
If you can give me any comment, please send me better direct than
via the digest because not all digests are sure distributed here.
By the way, if anybody remember the discussion and can tell me how
to get that old INFO-MAC, I would like to know how I can get it from
the archives from BITNET.
Thanks

Subject: MSWord questions
Hi, is there MSWord 3 wizard out there? I need some help...
[Saga Part I: Cross referencing -- Introduction to the maze of Word 3]
Now I'm working on about 120 page of thesis. Since I need cross referencing
on figure, table, equation numbers and such, I'm using "Print merge" facility
of Word by creating a separate file in which all fields are defined by
something like;
<<SET Fig-1-1a=Fig.1-2>>
As the number of fields approached to its ceiling of 125, various problems
appeared as though Word approached its memory limit. (I'm using Mac II with
8MB RAM and I have increased MSWord's memory allocation to 1.5MB(!), BTW.
MSWord is 3.02, System is 6.0.2 and running under Multifinder.) For example,
if it hits the unknown field name, AND the number of field names are around
125, AND the size of the text is more than 100kB, it cannot merge the text
anymore! (Program is loaded into the memory through the "Preferences..."
menu and files are tried both on and off.) This is a pain of neck since
there's no convenient way other than creating "New Document" file as an
output of the merged file to tell which part of my text is the offending
field. (If, and only if Word would point out the offending field
name...! :-<)
[Saga Part II: Solution as a practicalist]
To avoid this memory limitation, I had to split my thesis into three files.
This works out very well, although I have to delete white spaces which are
produced by the <<INCLUDE filename>> statement each time I "merge" the text
files.
[Saga Part III: Table of Contents and sections]
Even though I split files, "Table of Contents" works just fine, as long
as I set "Next File" dialogue in "Page Setup" menu properly -- there's
one cavity, though. "Print Merge" automatically appends a new section at
the bottom of the original text. As a result, there's one page of jump
in page numbering of the table of contents. If I simply delete the appended
section, the setup of the previous section just resets (another Word bug,
I might say...). I have to build the header, footer, page number positions
and such section-related definitions, from all over the scratch again.
[Qeustions]
1. What is the best way of cross referencing in MSWord 3? Should I switch
to FullWrite or else...?
2. Is there any patch to raise the limit of 125 in different field names?
3. Will/Has the seemingly limitation of memory in "Print Merge" be/been
fixed?
4. Why in the world Word should append another section to the original text
when merging?
5. Is there a handy way to 'copy' the settings of a certain section to the
section appended by Word?
Please reply directly to me since I don't read the network news regularly.
I'll summarize them to the net if there's enough interest. Thanks in advance.

Subject: Overhead projection devices for Macs
We are looking into the LCD screens that are used with an overhead projector
to project a computer screen. I was wondering what experiences folks with
them, good and bad. We have a PC Viewer and the appropriate attachments for
a Mac SE, but are not overly pleased with the display. I have seen one
which does an excellent job, but I am not sure of the vendor - I believe it
was a Panasonic.
I am interested in input specs, screen type, projector restrictions
(some require low-wattage overhead), and a rough price.
Thanks much in advance. I will summarize if there is an interest.

Subject: Problems with NCSA telnet version 2.2.
I have problems getting NCSA telnet to work. Whenever I try to
open a connection, be it to a name in the config file, using the
nameserver or giving an absolute (numerical) IP address, it
returns the message 'cannot connect to <hostname>' (or some such),
here <hostname> is the name of the attempted connection, following
up with a message box saying
"ERROR: The conflicting machine is using the same IP number
Conflict with Ethernet hardware address 8: 0:20: 1:e1:68"
What gives here?
My configuration is
MacII w. 5 MBytes running Multifinder, system 6.1
Kinetics Etherport II
Subnetting mask ffffff00, local host IP address 129.177.16.43
SU-MacIP works fine (as a matter of fact, that is the software I'm
using right now).
Any help would be appreciated.
