Subject: complete families of LaserWriter screen fonts wanted
I would really appreciate it if someone would make available on sumex-2060
the Adobe screen versions of the standard LaserWriter fonts (Times,
Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook, etc.) including the bold and italic
versions of those screen fonts. As an alternative to sumex-2060 I would
welcome these truly useful fonts in the anonymous-writeable pub directory
on Internet host panarea.usc.edu [128.125.3.54].
I have Suitcase II which helps setup NFNTs, so for example, the font
manager uses a proper definition of italics instead of an oblique
derivative of the plain style for screen display (without requiring
the selection of a different font).
I obtained a "complete" set of the public domain Adobe screen fonts (on 7
disks) from microPrint, but I found that microPrint gave me all the Adobe
fonts except the "standard" collection in LaserWriter{+,NT,NTX} printers.
Perhaps microPrint assumed that the screen fonts that came with the
LaserWriter adquately suited my needs -- they don't, because they do not
include distinct definitions for italic and bold and bolditalic styles.
In any case, since the screen versions of the Adobe fonts are freely
distributable (and in fact in the public domain), it may help many people
to have them available by FTP, at least the common set of fonts standard
in Apple LaserWriter printers.

Subject: converting postscript files on the mac
I have a text file with Postscript commands in it. I'd like to display it
using Illustrator or some such program on the Macintosh. Is there any
Mac application that can read text files with PostScript commands and convert
them to normal mac postscript files?
Thanks in advance,
larry kolodney
P.S. I'm not on this list, so please reply directly.

Subject: Dialogs in INITs
I rea that some people had problems with dialogs in INIT's.
Someone at our department discovered thet during init-time InitWindows
does'nt clear DeskHook.
Our problems with Inits were solved by doing it ourselves:
CONST
DeskHook = $0A6C;
TYPE
aPtrType = ~LONGINT;
BEGIN
...
InitWindows;
...
aPtr := aPtrType(deskhook);
aPtr^ := 0;
...

Subject: nVIR 10 - A Correction (Mac)
I just received a note from Matthias Urlichs, who tells me that nVIR 10
merely DEACTIVATES the nVIR virus, it does not kill it.
I suppose it's like a DNA suppressor, rather than an antibody.
Sorry if I have caused anyone inconvenience. The nVIR Vaccine program
in the NVIRVACC SITHQX file should still be used to remove nVIR from
applications, and the manual procedure mentioned in the ANTI-VIR SITHQX
stack can be used to clean systems.
I have been receiving a LOT of nVIR removal software lately; I haven't
had time to review it yet. I will be doing so and adding the ones I find
best address the problem to our LISTSERV after January 1.
Happy holidays, all.

This application will update your copy of Pyro! 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 to 3.3. 3.1
fixed problems with printing in general. 3.2 fixed interference with PageMaker
printing, but ran into a bug in Radius ROMs (FPD/TPD/Accelerator). Note: this
Updater will NOT update versions earlier than 3.0.

Subject: Travesty text-masher program
This is a strange program that takes a text file as input
and produces output text that sounds like the input, but is
usually meaningless or bizarre. It is based on a program
originally presented in the November 1984 issue of BYTE.
(Short) instructions are included.
