Subject: Keyboard Mapping for English Keyboards
For those who only have an American version of the new Finder/System (6.0,
4.2) and only have an old English keyboard (like me) these resources may be
some help.
It includes a new KCHR resource, with the English Keyboard's key-layout,
and as an extra for dutch people, it includes the INTL and itl0 resources
to give you the date in the Dutch format. April-9-1988 will be displayed
as 9/4/88, not as 4/9/88.
This is my first posting to INFO-MAC, so I hope it got there.

From: singer@harvard.harvard.edu (Jon Hueras)
Subject: Red Ryder and macget/macput
There has been some talk recently om comp.sys.mac about Red Ryder's
incompatibility with macget/macput. It is all quite true, and it is for
that reason that I undertook quite a while ago to modify macget and macput
from its sources to make it compatible.
Here's what the problem is. It has nothing to do with XModem, which both
MacTerminal 1.1 and Red Ryder are equally capable of handling. It has to
do with the protocol used on top of XModem by each to effect binary Mac
file transfers. Red Ryder uses the fairly widespread MacBinary standard for
this, a standard that either didn't exist when MacTerminal 1.1 was written
or was not so widespread. I suspect that some nascent version of MacBinary
must have existed at the time because what MacTerminal 1.1 does is almost
exactly the same. However, what is accomplished in a single XModem transfer
in MacBinary is done in three separate XModem transfers via MacTerminal:
one transfer for the file's "header", one for the data fork, and one for
the resource fork. MacBinary accomplishes the same thing in one XModem
transfer by letting the header information determine how to separate the
data part from the resource part. It was thus fairly trivial to modify
macget/macput to merge the three transfers into one.
So, anyway, here are slightly modified versions of macget and macput that
do MacBinary instead of MacTerminal style file transfers. [Enclosed in
two separate messages to follow.] Two other features that I tossed in were
CRC handling and the <ESC>B auto-receive feature. I have renamed these
programs mbget and mbput to avoid confusion with the original macget and
macput.
Many thanks are due to Dave Johnson, the original author of macget and
macput, for writing this stuff in the first place and for blessing the
release of this version of it. Please note that these programs are still
copyright (c) 1984 by Brown University and may be used but not sold without
permission.

This is ScaleFonts - a Control Panel Device that enables you to
switch font scaling (which is done for sizes that are not available
in your System file) on and off. Switching font scaling ON shows
text in its real size (even if the application would normally
disable font scaling, as does WriteNow). Switching font scaling
OFF results in a better readable and faster text display on screen.
This cdev replaces DA-SCALEFONTS-HQX.

For those of you coming in late, "ToMultiFinder" is an application that
you set as your startup application, and when you boot, it gives you a
choice between the normal Finder and MultiFinder. It's ideal if you use
MultiFinder occasionally (as I do) - you don't have to remember to

don't have to dive into the System Folder and command-option-double-click
on MultiFinder when you want to run it.

Subject: SCSI Accelerator
This posting contains SCSI Accelerator, an INIT resource written by
David Denowh. SCSI Accelerator is a patch to the Mac's SCSI-dispatch
code; the author reports that it substantially increases hard-disk
throughput (especially if the disk is subsequently reformatted with
a lower interleaving ratio).
SCSI Accelerator is definitely a "use at your own risk" tweak. It was
designed to be used on a Mac Plus under System 4.2, and may not work
in other configrations; it performs some sanity-checks when patching
itself into the SCSI dispatcher, and will not install itself if it
can't find the appropriate hooks. Mr. Denowh strongly recommends
backing up your disk before installing SCSI Accelerator (or any other
modification that may affect disk access). He's willing to assist
people who use System files other than version 4.2, and is interested
in hearing from people who have tried SCSI Accelerator.
I have not tried to install this resource myself. Caveat hacker!

Subject: New scroll-bar resource
This is a posting of Scroll2, a CDEF (control-definition) resource written
by Mayson G. Lancaster. This CDEF enhances the standard Macintosh scroll
bar; it places "scroll back" and "scroll forward" arrows at both ends
of the scroll bar, so that you can scroll in either direction without
having to move the cursor back and forth between the ends of the scroll-bar.
Scroll2 is delivered in the form of an Installer script that will add the
CDEF resource to your System file, and also install three ROM-override
resources so that the Mac will use the new disk-based CDEF rather than
the one installed in your Mac's ROM. Mr. Lancaster has also provided
an Installer script that re-installs the standard Apple CDEF; if you
don't like Scroll2, you can deinstall it and then restore your System
to its original state. Instructions for installing and deinstalling
Scroll2 are included in the StuffIt archive.
Scroll2 is shareware.
