Does anyone know if there are any plans to release a new version of
MacTerminal that allows for Multifinder activities such as background
downloading and the like?

Subject: yacc & lex
Greetings,
A client of mine has asked me if there exist Mac equivalents for the UNIX
utilities: yacc and lex. He uses them on UTS (our unixalike) and assumes
they are available for Mac programming. I don't know what they are but I
told him I'd ask. So... do they exist? How can he get them?
Thanks,

A friend of mine needs some info on the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop.
Are there any previous articles about MPW archived somewhere? Please
send e-mail, I will summarize.

I wish to solicit help in using Kermit through a TAC (Terminal Access
Controller) on the Arpanet. I am using Red Ryder through a TAC to a DEC System
20 and am having no luck at all. Some of my associates have experienced
similar problems going through the TAC but could not help me with my MAC
problems.
The problem is that TACs aren't transparent to "normal" characters.
In particular, the TAC intercepts the character @ and everything after
it up to a carriage return. To avoid this, you have to redefine the
intercept character, or disable it completely. Refer to the TAC
User's Guide; I believe you type:
@ i NNN
where NNN is the decimal character code you wish to be the new
intercept character. I expect that setting the intercept to some
little-used control characer like control-] (029) will work. To set
it back to @, you say
control-] i e
There may be further problems with flow control. The TAC has a mode
where it will control the terminal (Mac) if it can't keep up. If the
file transfer program will accept and act on XOFF/XON flow control,
this should be enabled (@f i s). Normal TAC configuration is for flow
control of the TAC by the user, but not vice versa. Since the TAC
doesn't support flow control in both directions at once, you may be
stuck. The other related commands: @f i e (input flow-control end),
@f o s and @f o e (output flow-control start and end).

Subject: New games on Mac
To: infomac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu
My impressions of several new games for the Macintosh:
Crystal Quest: Very good action/shoot-em-up game. Great digitized sounds,
challenging, fast-paced, and in dazzling color on the Mac II.
If any of you have played Crystal Raider, the shareware
version, this is better, especially on a Mac SE or II which
has the ABD mouse which is more precise.
Apache Strike: Great game, probably my current favorite. You're a helicopter
pilot in about 1997 whose mission is to destroy the Enemy's
(ie- Soviet Union's) SDI computer systems. You see a 3-D
view of your helicopter flying in downtown Russian cities,
weaving in and out of skyscrapers with walkways connecting
them, which makes for challenging flying! You're heli is
armed with bullets and missiles. You have to first get past
the enemy helicopters and tanks before wiping out the SDI
computer. From Silicon Beach (makers of Dark Castle, Airborne,
Super Paint).
Falcon: Intriguing fighter flight simulator. As close to realism on
the Mac as you can get. You fly your F-16, trying to shoot
down enemy MiGS. There are 10 missions, and you can be any
of 5 ranks. Fun, but difficult, to play.
Of the above, all run on the Mac+ and Mac SE, while Crystal Quest & Falcon run
on the Mac II.

THERE IS PROBABLY NOT DEMO VERSION , BECAUSE THERE IS NOT DEMO VERSION
FOR ANY SOFT IN JAPAN.
I DO NOT USE EGWORD , BUT I WOULD HEAR THAT EGWORD IS NOT GOOD,AND
DO NOT CONFORM TO APPLE INTERFACE GUIDELINES.
DO YOU KNOW EGBOOK ?
EGBOOK IS JAPANESE DTP FROM ERGOSOFT , IT IS USED UNDER KANJITALK.
IT IS NOT SUPPORTED LASERWRITER.
IF YOU USE JAPANESE , ONCE YOU SHOULD USE MORE UNDER KANJITALK.

HELLO EVERYBODY,
I'VE FOUND AN ANNOYING BUG WITH WORD 3.01 AND THE IMAGEWRITER LQ PRINTER:
EVERYTIME YOU USE THE MATHEMATICAL TYPESETTING FEATURES, IT LOOKS OK ON
THE SCREEN AND ON THE LASER, BUT ON A LQ WORD INSERTS SOME MORE SPACES
BEFORE EACH FRACTION AND THE RIGTH MARGIN BECOMES SCRAMBLED...
IS THERE A NEW VERSION OF WORD AVAILABLE? I'VE SENT IN MY REGISTRATION
CARD, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY UPDATES SO FAR...
MICROSOFT, ARE YOU LISTENING?

Subject: Format of SERD Resource
From: ZAKAR@A.ISI.EDU
I would like to have my own driver controlling the modem port. I assume
this means that I have to write a SERD resource and override the one in
the (128K) ROM. Can someone give me information on the format of a SERD
resource? Better yet, can someone tell me that I don't have to write a
SERD resource and tell me how to use my own .AIn and .AOut drivers?
Thanks
