Subject: Remote Macintosh file representation
For those of you who don't normally follow the INFO-APPLETALK newsgroup,
Apple has made an important proposal that affects all Macintosh programs
in hetereogeneous computing environments. A copy of the proposal
is being included for the INFO-MAC archives.
Apple proposes two file formats, AppleSingle and AppleDouble, which
represent a file on another file system (e.g. UNIX or MS-DOS) as
either one file, or two files, respectively. In the two-file mode,
the data fork is in a separate file that should be locally readable.
Further comments should be sent to INFO-APPLETALK@ANDREW.CMU.EDU.
If you want to be added to the mailing list, of course, send
mail to INFO-APPLETALK-REQUEST@ANDREW.CMU.EDU.

Here is our first attempt at a proposal for representing Mac files
on other file systems. Please circulate it freely. I welcome
comments and suggestions, with the following caveat:
PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS BRIEF AND CONCISE. I EXPECT A LOT OF
FEEDBACK AND I CAN'T POSSIBLY WADE THROUGH A WHOLE LOT OF MATERIAL.
I CANNOT REPLY TO EVERYONE PERSONALLY.
Please send useful comments and suggestions directly to me. Look to
this bulletin board for further drafts.

Subject: FzzPlot Purchasers Please Read!
Attention all FzzPlot purchasers:
I am almost ready to release a new version of FzzPlot to registered
owners. The problem is, my database was accentally destroyed (not my
fault). I have a few letters from people who sent in their
registration fee, but by no means do these letters represent my entire
user base.
Therefore, I need anyone who has sent in their registration fee
to write me a letter, and enclose some proof of registration -- a
Xerox copy of your cancelled registration check will be fine, or send
me the cover page of your documentation. (There are some people
who have not recieved the documentation; I apologize for that; it was
lost along with the database.)
If you can't find proof of registration, just write me a letter.
I will provide a new version of the program, along with updated
documentation.
I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. There will be no charge for
the update to registered users. Please note that the next public
release of FzzPlot will *not* be on the networks, but will be
available directly from me upon request.
(I will explain the reasons for this if requested to....)
Thanks.

Subject: 68020 vs. 80386 benchmarks
Anyone else out there fed up with Byte's biased 68020 vs. 80386
benchmarks? We have available to us a Mac II and a Compaq 386 and would
like to run the Byte benchmarks to see for ourselves. We'll use Aztec C 3.4
with its 68020 and 68881 native code generator with the Mac II.
The Byte programs are supposed to be archived on BIX but we do not have access.
If anybody has these we would appreciate a copy of the benchmark source code
(especially the Whetstone and Dhrystone code). Of course, we will post our
results to this forum.

Subject: .HQX WORD decrypting on UNIX
Is there a utility that will dycrypt to plain text a WORD file like the
technotes (TNXXX.HQX) without the wasteful step of dropping past
the Mac first?
Directly to TeX would be even better...

Subject: Problem with Day/Month Edit...
Is it me or the new system (4.1) with the new finder (5.5) that prevents
the utility Day/Month Edit from changing the format of the way the finder
(and WriteNow) present the day? Specifically, I want to change "Fri, Jun 16,
1987" to "June 16, 1987". This utility worked fine on past systems, but I
cant get it to change the current one.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated (please respond to info-mac for
all to read).
Thanks in advance,

Subject: System/Finder Patches..
Here's a patch I designed for Finder 5.3 or 4.1 which will let you have a
small "GetInfo..." box similar to Finder 5.4. I've found this to be much
faster and more convenient, see if you like it. It just might be small
enough for the digest (25 lines).
After you convert it with BinHex4 and Packit3, open the resulting file with
ResEd present. Click on DITL, shift-click on STR#, choose "Copy", open the
Finder and "Paste". That's it, it won't increase the Finder's size.

Subject: Keeper II
What follows is a thing from a local BBS called Keeper II. It seems to work as
did the old Keeper, locking a copy of Finder into a reserved Application Zone
(I think). Changes: 1. It works with my 68020 machine 2. It notices that
you held down the option key when you opened windows, so it doesn't always
return you to a screen cluttered with a lot of open windows.
I have no documents or info for this thing, but it seems to work. Binhex is in
the following message.

This is bootlogger which was downloaded from Genie. It is an Init which when

This is a cdev to turn the 60820 instruction cache on and off. It only works on
the Mac II, of course. Just put it in your system folder, and the new control
will show up in the Control Panel. It's mainly of use to developers, but might
come in handy if you have a program that won't run with the 68020 cache on.

Subject: ShutDown Key FKEY for all systems
ShutDown Key is a function key designed to provide the same capabilities
as the Finder's ShutDown and Restart commands. When invoked (using
Command-Shift-9), it presents a dialog box with ShutDown, Restart, and
Cancel buttons. When installed in a System File older than version 4.0,
only the Restart and Cancel buttons will appear. Keyboard equivalents
are provided for all buttons, allowing ShutDown Key to be called in the
event of a system hang or mouse freeze.
When used under System 4.0 or higher, ShutDown Key uses the routines
provided by Apple in the ShutDown manager package. If the ShutDown
manager is not available (ie. the System file is older than 4.0), then
all disks are ejected and unmounted before restarting the machine.
When first activated, ShutDown Key disables Switcher (if running) until
the Cancel button is pressed. This prevents Switcher from crashing due
to ShutDown Key's calls to ModalDialog. The Dialog box is centered
regardless of screen size.
ShutDown Key was a personal programming challenge to stay away from
assembly language. It was written and debugged entirely in Ligtspeed
Pascal, and the final version was compiled using TML Pascal 2.02. It
uses some interesting Pascal programming, including creating dialog
boxes on the fly without resources, accessing the "A5" world, and
highlighting the default button.
ShutDown Key is compatible with all Macintoshes regardless of memory,
system file version, ROM, processor, or keyboard.
This posting is a BinHex representatin of a Packit (uncompressed) file
holding the ShutDown Key file and its documentation (in MacWrite 4.5
format). ShutDown Key may be installed using the FKEY Installer, FKEY
Manager, or ResEdit.

not) bug notices to the author:

Multi-Print is a utility to print out several files once. Select your
files, choose print and then let your computer print out the files one
after the other. You can have page numbers, dates, times and much
more in your custom headers and footers. You can print out your files
with a border. You can specify fonts and font sizes for your text,
headers and footers. Each file has it's own set of information, so one
can have a border, the other not, one file can be printed in Monaco-9
while the other is printed using New York-12.
This program is a learning tool as well. The source code is provided
and demonstrates several of the "For Advance Programer's Only" topics
covered in Inside Macintosh, and more. Learn how to add a dialog items
list to any existing dialog, and more specifically add your own items
to Print Manager dialogs.
I hope you find it useful! brent.

HyperCard allows you to install a specially-compiled resource of type XCMD
(External Command) and XFCN (External Function) into a stack or into HyperCard
itself. These can extend HyperTalk in whatever way you see fit. You might want
to control a videodisk player by sending bytes through the serial port or just
make strange noises.
This example adds a function to HyperTalk called "FileName()" which returns
the full pathname of a file the user chooses with the Standard "Open" dialog
box. This is (or I should say "was") missing from HyperTalk so I wrote it in.

with object oriented programming on small computers. There
are currently implementations running on the PDP-11 under
UNIX V7, on the VAX-11 under VAX/VMS and Berkeley VAX/UNIX,
and on the 8088/8086 under CP/M-86 or MS-DOS. A version is
currently being developed for the 68000 under CP/M-68K and
for the Apple Macintosh. It is completely written in the
programming language 'C' and is easily extended with user
written built-in functions and classes. It is available in

Hello,
This is a packit file containing MacPS, its documentation and an
example script. The PS in MacPS stands for 'Professional Scripter'. The
scripts that MacPS interprets run programs (with or without multiple
documents), start desk accessories, set up startup screens, delete files,
etc. It is a very nice initial application to run, in that it can set up
all the programs that are supposed to be 'self installing', and then put
you into your favorite program on some particular document.
This is a version that supports almost everything -- if you pay
the shareware fee, you get a version that does more. It looks very good!
Enjoy,
Chris Sterritt
