Subject: MultiFinder, OS extensions
Thanks to Philipp Oster for enhancing my MultiFinder suggestions with
the implementation details (info-mac digests vol. 5 #123 and 124).
I'm not sure if his extensions for protecting data in use are well
suited for a networked environment:
if any client of a file server intended to move or delete a file on that
server, the server would have to dial up any other clients to collect their
votes. This would mean
- to change the server into an active node of the network,
- and to increase network traffic.
I think that Apple's suggestions for protecting your application's data
(see "Software Applications in a Shared Environment") solve the problem in
a better way: just leave an access path open to any file that your
application still needs. The file system (local or network) will not allow
anybody to delete the file, and renaming or moving the file will not
invalidate your access path.

Subject: SysEnvirons Interfaces for LightspeedC and Lightspeed Pascal
Following this message is a BinHexed compressed PackIt III file containing
interface files and glue libraries so that you can use the SysEnvirons call
described in Tech Note #126 from LightspeedC or Lightspeed Pascal. The
"Environs.h" and "Environs.Lib" are for LightspeedC, and "EnvironsIntf.p"
and "SysEnvirons.Lib" are for Lightspeed Pascal.
I don't know what the copyright restrictions are on the distribution of
these libraries. I asked once, and never got a response. Given that these
aren't being distributed for profit, it may be fairly safe to post them,
but if there's going to be a problem then I shall withdraw the posting (or
have the moderator or maintainer remove the message).

Subject: Hypercard Spelling/Dictation Stack
This is an interesting free HyperCard dictation spelling application
for students. You can enter a spelling word list, hide the spelling
words, and have the Macintosh read the spelling words to a student.
As words are read the student types the words from the keyboard.
Misspelled words are recorded for more practice.
The developer, John Robertson of the BYU Linguistics Department,
is receptive to comments and suggestions. I'll be happy to forward
any email I receive about this.
This file requires about 43K of disk space, and the unhex'd stack
requires about 42K.

Subject: FreeTerm 2.0 now available
This posting contains FreeTerm 2.0, a "dumb" glass-TTY emulator
that supports XMODEM and MacBinary II. Full documentation is included
in this Packit III package.
Basic features and improvements over FreeTerm 1.8:
- FreeTerm 1.8 was limited to operation at speeds <= 2400 baud, which
limited its usefulness to dial-up connections. FreeTerm 2.0
supports connections at 4800, 9600, 19200, and 57600 as well; it
uses XOFF/XON flow control to prevent buffer overruns at high line
speeds [this feature can be disabled].
- FreeTerm 2.0 supports the new extensions to the MacBinary file-
encoding standard, as described in a document posted several
weeks ago.
- FreeTerm 2.0 is capable of unpacking any file that was packed by
PackIt I, II, or III, or any other utility that produces a
packed/compressed file in PackIt format.
- FreeTerm 2.0's window can be resized (24*80 down to 4*15).
- FreeTerm 2.0 remembers the most recent 20 full 24*80 screens;
you can scroll back through the saved lines in the usual fashion.
- You can send all 128 ASCII characters (and "break").
- "Fast-track" XMODEM is supported, for those of you who use
Compu$erve and have clean, error-free transmission lines.
FreeTerm 2.0 is still free, as its name implies... noncommercial
distribution is encouraged; commercial distribution is prohibited
without written permission of Dreams of the Phoenix, Inc. FreeTerm
2.0 is copyright 1987 by William Bond; portions are copyright
1986 by THINK Technologies, Inc. (which gives you a pretty good
idea of the development system that was used ;-)

A few issues ago, someone asked about a black line
about 2/3 the way down the screen on a Sony multi-
scan. This is a featre of _all_ Trinitron products.
The line is the shadow of a wire which holds up
part of the grid, whatever that means. Anyway,
Trinitrons have the best sharpness and color of
any color monitors around, but I agree that this
is a bad thing for a $900 monitor, esp if you

Subject: Mac memory upgrades
I have just prevailed upon our service people here (who are Apple-
certified and very by-the-book) to upgrade the memory of a Mac+ and a
Mac II to 2 Mbytes each in what I had thought to be a clever way. In
fact, it is clever: it saves money, it is cognizent of the limited num-
ber of memory configurations possible for the Mac+ and Mac II, and it
works. However, in so doing, I stumbled upon two disturbing Apple
policies that could stop people less insistant than I was in pursuing
this issue.
1. According to the APDA draft of the Macintosh Family Hardware Manual,
both the Mac+ and SE can be populated with just two 1 Mbyte SIMMS. On
the logic boards for either, there are two positions for level-
determining resistors to be added or removed. On the Mac+ they are
labeled R8 and R9. R8 is factory-installed and signals that the default
256 Kbyte SIMMS are present. R9 is not factory installed, but when
installed, it signals that only two SIMMS, and not the normal four, are
present on the board. In order to upgrade my Mac+ to 2 Mbyte, then, we
reasoned that we could remove R8 and place it in the R9 position and
place the two new SIMMS in a position closest to the 68000, as described
in the APDA draft. This should have been simple stuff that any Apple
trained technician should have known about and been able to do, right?
Well, Apple did not tell our service people, during their training or in
their service manuals, that this is a possible configuration because it
involves SOLDERING ON THE LOGIC BOARD. Apple is forbiding their level 1
service personnel (is there a higher level?) from soldering. Apple
expects people who buy the 2x1 Mbyte SIMMS to upgrade to 2.5 MBytes,
which only requires cutting R8 from the board--no soldering. I had to
promise that I knew that I might be loosing my board-exchange privileges
in insisting that this be done. (Boy, am I scared! I think that in the
future, I will go back to just fooling around with the boards of my
PDP-11.) I did not want to leave two of my old 256 Kbyte SIMMS in the
Mac+ as I wanted all four of the perfectly good 120 nsec parts for an
upgrade of the Mac II to 2 MBytes as well. That's when I found out
about policy #2:
2. The old SIMMS are not mine; nor are they Apple's or my employer's
either. In fact, they are supposed to CEASE TO EXIST. Apple does not
want service people to return spare SIMMS to customers--too much danger
of static damage. So, they become a non-rebatable, non-resellable,
confiscated part that is supposed to be of no use to anyone. I was
okay, as I had an immediate home for them, as has any customer for half
of them who is having the 2.5 MByte upgrade done to a Mac+ or SE. I
think that logically and legally these two cases are identical.
There seem to be a lot of caveats involved in upgrading memory and
Info-Mac has covered most of them in recent weeks. At our University,
one person was burned in buying a single set of 2x1 MByte SIMMS for a
Mac II--you need two sets. (Unless there is an undocumented 2 SIMM
resistor on that logic board, too. Does anyone know?) There are a few
150 nsec SIMMS in Mac Pluses that cannot be used in Mac IIs. If you
buy third-party SIMMS, you are free to install them yourself--which can
have warranty consequences. If you buy Apple SIMMS, which are
price competitive and of assured quality, you MUST have them installed
by a certified technician and accept all the rules that they play by.
Finally, because Apple SIMM prices have just nose-dived, anyone now
buying memory should check that they are getting the most current
prices.

Subject: Big Files in MS WORD 3.0.1
Welcome to the group. I reported that bug to Microsoft Canada
(who in turn reported it to Microsoft US) when I first got 3.0.1. The
exact problem is as follows: Given a text file 64K (i.e 64 * 1024) or
larger, if there is a CR (which equates to a paragraph mark in internal
Word format) at any exact multiple of 64K, Word 3.0.1 will go absolutely
screwy. Microsoft US claims to know of the problem, but I haven't heard
of a fix as yet. The problem is trivial to reproduce using your
favourite programming language, generate 1024 lines of 63 characters and
a carriage return, and read it into Word.
If it isn't a text file, then the problem returns at the same
point but it is harder to produce given Word's internal format.
The only solution that I found was to read my file first into
Word 1.0.5, save it, and then read it into Word 3.0.1, or using some
text editor replace the CR (or the paragraph mark) by something like a
space and get it later once you are in Word 3.0.1.
The symptoms of the problems are that repagination goes on
forever, or the save increments up to a certain number and cycles back
to 68% and up to that number; or you can't scroll past the offending
point, or you can scroll but start getting internal code from MS Word.
If you pass this information on, please state my name and that
of Gavin Hemphill's as having found the bug, and researching it to
completion.
