Subject: Command-Shift FKEY's under System 4.1
Has anyone else noticed that FKEY's (Command-Shift-1 for example) seem
to be permanently enabled under System 4.1, regardless of the value
of global ScrDmpEnb?
I have MacKermit 0.8, which disables ScrDmpEnb by default. Under 4.1,
they're enabled by default, and toggling the enabling menu item seems to
have no effect. This worked normally under System 3.3.

Subject: RE: Juggler 1.0D???
My local user's group downloaded the Juggler package over a month ago. I'm
not sure how it managed to be posted on the service we subscribe to, but it
must not have been an authorized Apple posting if it was removed from the
bulletin board that you use.
Juggler is pre-release software. The present package consists of three files:
Juggler 1.0D (32K), Finder 6.0a4 (89.5K), SysDAHandler (3.5K), and a short
text file that someone outside of Apple wrote along the way. Juggler requires
system 4.0 or later (works fine under 4.1) and Finder 6.0. It also requires a
system heap size of 128K or larger. In the version we used, the boot blocks
had to be modified to be modified using Fedit to reflect the 128K requirement.
However, since System 4.1 has the ability to increase the heap size dynamically
on boot, I assume that Juggler will take care of this expansion itself when it
is released.
Finder 6.0 (released before Finder 5.5) closely resembles Finder 5.4 with
three major exceptions. When you drag an icon or group of icons, an outline
of the icon's actual shape, not just a box, is dragged, very similar to
Servant. When running under Juggler, selecting GET INFO on an application
presents the standard Finder 5.4 Get Info box, with two new fields below the
comment box. These fields allow you to set the preferred and minimum memory
requirements that are used by both Switcher and Juggler. And finally, the
Finder's about box gives a graph showing memory allocation and usage for the
operating system and all programs currently running under Juggler.
When running (usually as the startup application), Juggler puts the small
icon of the currently active application in the far right corner of the menu
bar, far enough away from Easy Access' use of the menu bar. The names and
small icons of any programs running under Juggler are also added to the apple
menu, below the desk accessories. You can switch to another program by simply
activating its window (ala Servant and MultiMac) or by selecting its name
from the apple menu. Juggler also adds "About Juggler..." to the very bottom
of the apple menu, which simply shows a cute logo and version information.
Desk accessories have their own global application called DA Handler that is
loaded into memory when a DA is selected from the Apple menu. This lets DAs
operate in their own 45K partition, without bothering the rest of the system.
Eventually, the DA Handler application will be incorporated directly into
Juggler itself.
Just like Servant, any application launched from the Finder runs under
Juggler. The current version (like Servant) only allows background tasking,
but the shell will appear the same for applications when true multi-tasking
is released (probably with the release of the 68851 MMU). Juggler appears
to work well on older machines, too (MacPlus, even the Mac512Ke---with
severe memory limitations, of course).
Overall, Juggler seems to be a very major, very GOOD step in the right
direction for Apple. Its user interface, with few exceptions, closely
follows the Macintosh standard (unlike Servant), and it provides the
convenience, flexibility, and speed often lacking in Switcher.

Subject: System 4.1 problem
Recently the various digests were full of horror stories about the new 4.1/5.5
OS from Apple.. we all wait impatiently the 5.x/6.x Juggler combo but in the
mean time I got this problem.. when ever I run under 4.1/5.5 and the boot
disk is not available for the application I end up with the wavering square.
Could it be that my trusty Mac forgot how to ask for the system disk?? more
likely I forgot to set up one of the flags for the System/Finder since I got
my system via one of the networks.
Anyone else had this problem? any solution?

I had this same problem after rebuilding my Dataframe XP-40 and
loading it back off a full backup on floppies. My system (I believe
System 4.0 at the time) was larger than 800K, so the DiskFit backup
program split it into two files on the floppies. When I reloaded the
system from the floppies there was a 300-400K discrepancy between the
size of the system when it was backed up onto floppies and when it was
backed down. I tried using the DiskFit Join command manually and was
able to get the System back to its original size, and the problem with
dashes filling the first text item went away.
I suppose the point of all this is that I expect the System file you
were working with was corrupted in some fashion. It may be best to
rebuild the System starting with a fresh System from the Utilities
disk. I believe I tried running the Install program to attempt to fix
the corrupted System, but the Install program took the corruption as a
form of customization and installed it in the new System. Ooops.
On another subject, I have had my Dataframe XP-40 for a number of
months now, and apart from the usual controller failure the first time
I tried to use it (MacWeek estimates that 10% of all hard disks fail
initially) I have had no problems with it. None that were the fault
of the disk, that is. It does make a "crunching" sound as the heads
move, but normally there is no "whining," even at power-down as Greg
Hamm describes. There were two or three days where it made a slight
whining sound, but it hasn't reappeared since.

Subject: RE: Minimum file size
If I remember correctly, the number of allocated (or free) blocks on a disk
is a 16-bit quantity. Thus if the disk is larger than 16 Megabytes, the
minimum block size must be greater than 512 bytes. (assuming unsigned
integers, which the documentation doesn't always indicate).
I recently used Apple's Code-Unlocker utility to unlock the CODE segments
in my program and found a bug. It seems that the program didn't work if
the CODE segments skipped a few numbers. Since I program in LightSpeed C,
I would've had to rebuild the project to get the CODE segments in order.
Instead, I wrote a better version of Apple's utility. If there is any
need, give me a call.

Subject: Fonts and 'FOND' resources
A week or so ago, I posted a question about the FOND resources in the
System file not agreeing with the FOND resources in the Fonts file with
the System 3.2 distribution.
We just obtained a Mac SE, and it had System 4.1 in it. In order to
maintain compatibility with the Mac Plus and the LaserWriter, I used
the Installer to update *ONLY* the LaserWriter and Imagewriter
files in the System Folder (I didn't want to use System 4.1 on the
Plusses, since MacTerminal doesn't work with it yet). After applying
the update, the 'FOND' resource problem was fixed!!!! So I guess
Apple realized the problem and used the Installer Script for the
LaserWriter to fix it!!! Thanks, Apple!!!!
A side note: We are running System 4.1, Finder 5.5, LaserWriter 4.0
on the SE and System 3.2, Finder 5.3, LaserWriter 4.0 on the Mac Plusses
without having any problems. When Apple gets MacTerminal to work
with System 4.1, then we'll update the Plusses. Also, the local
Mac dealer (the Stanford Bookstore) advised me that "Apple has told
us not to have people update their MacPlusses with System 4.1" Does
that mean that a newer release of the System is imminent and it
will work with MacTerminal???

Subject: Problems with File transfer from BitNet...
Last week there was a posting about scrambled BinHex files
GoneFishing, ScreenLock, FileMaster, ....
Unfortunately those files have been uploaded to the BitNet node by me,
so I would like to know, if somebody else has ever had this problem.
This is how it happens:
I pack the files using PackIt III, then run BinHex 4.0 on them and transfer
them to an IBM using RedRyder and CrossTalk with XModem Protocol. This
procedure is reversible and leads to a file, which is OK and can be de-
BinHex'ed. When I then transfer this file using an IBM equipped with a
3278 Emulation Card to an IBM EARN (BitNet) host and convert those
files to EBCDIC format, they are readable, they can be processed, but
sometimes (I cannot tell why or when it happens) there are spaces
in the middle of those files.
The funny thing is: I have never had problems in the other direction.
Using the same equippment, the same programs, everything works fine.
Please help me, so that I'm able to repost the items mentioned above...

Subject: Supermac (DataFrame) Utilities
I just downloaded all the latest Supermac utilities onto my XP40. Everything
seems to work fine - except SuperLaserSpool, with which I've encountered a
couple of minor problems (otherwise I'm quite impressed). The first thing I
printed with this spooler had a couple of adjacent words printed on top of each
other in the middle of a 1-page document. I immediately reprinted it, and it
was fine the second time. Has anyone else seen this?
The second thing I noticed was that the Lunar Lander game I downloaded the
other day started misbehaving: it kept jumping from wide angle view to
zoom view so as to be unplayable. Since it didn't do this yesterday, I
suspected SuperLaserSpool. Sure enough, when I clicked "Deinstall" in the
Laser Queue DA, Lunar Lander ran normally again.
I'm quite prepared to believe Lunar Lander is at fault here, but, having
seen the other problem, I wonder whether anyone else is seeing problems
with the spooler.
SuperLaserSpooler and LaserQueue DA are both version 1.01 df.

Most people felt that using a Mac 512 or Plus without a fan was living

I, too, have had a problem with Laserwriter 4.0. I have a document which MS
Word 3.0 used to print just fine. In this document, I defined the page size
to be 17 x 22 and printed at 50% reduction. This works just fine and it's a
lot easier to edit a 12 point font than a 6 point one! But Laserwriter 4.0
decided for some reason that I would prefer for this document to have 3" of
white space at the bottom of each page of my document in lieu of the top 3"
of text (shifting everything in the middle up). Reverting to Laserwriter 3.1
solved the problem.

There is a simple way to convert Tektronix 4010 (and 4014) output to

to save the graphics in PICT format or print the vectors directly. Certainly
it is simple to convert a PICT format document into postscript (Press Command-F

We have hooked an off the shelf SCSI drive (a Control

fine except for the known problem in the Mac+ ROM's
which prevents booting from "standard" SCSI drives
because the ROM's time out too soon. Booting from a

directly on a MAC/SE or II where the ROM problem is

approx. $2000 yourself can be found in the June 1987

When I get my Mac II, I plan to install the Wren III

Subject: Squealing drives
About the noisy Alaskan Dataframe:
There was discussion about this on Usenet some months/years ago so here is a
quick synopsis and my personal experience.
Apparently, SuperMac and Micah both used a certain type of drive (details
forgotten) that had a carryover from the 8" floppy days, in the form of a
static brush on the spindle of the drive. Well, what do you get when you rub
a steel spindle into a block of carbon? One hell of a high pitched whine that
can kill dogs and drive humans mad. Several mass murderers are using this in
their defense.
I have a Micah that was suffering from this and I was going to start by
killing the dealer who sold it to me, but I first called tech support and
asked them what to do (back in the days when there was tech support). They
said to do some minor surgery and (to use a medical term I heard during my
gallbladder exorcism) "rip the sucker out." Apparently it is much like a
gallbladder and can be disposed of without loss of functionality.
Here's what you do. Open your drive and remove the controller board from the
drive itself. You will need a SMALL torx for this. I think it's a #8. For
those of you out of the know, a torx is the screwdriver for those funky star
shaped screws on the back of your Mac. There are more of them inside.
On the inside of the controller card, the offending carbon pad lurks. With
some pliers, some care and a lot of sadistic pleasure, grab that sucker and
twist it off, without damaging the board any more than necessary.
Reassemble and you will be much better off. As usual, I make no claims as to
the safety of this procedure so you should have someone along to blame, just
in case.

If you want to print fast and with fairly good quality you must try Faster
bidirectional. But with Word 3.0 the trick of holding down Caps Lock, Shift
and Option while clicking OK in the print dialog does not work. Instead
you should follow the next steps:
1-While holding down Caps Lock, Shift and Option, pull down the
Edit menu and choose Print. Incredibly enough the standard
Imagewriter Print Menu shows up on the screen.
2-Choose Faster and click OK while holding down (guess what?) Caps
Lock, Shift and Option. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
3-Now, the Imagewriter is ready to interpret Faster as bidirectional
faster. Choose Print again (no more keytricks) and choose Faster
on the nonstandard Microsoft Print dialog.
4-Enjoy your Imagewriter printing Faster twice faster.

Subject: PageMaker 2.0: What they DON'T mention....
Hey, gang:
I'm starting to figure out some of the "rules" that the PageMaker 2.0
manual doesn't mention. Thought I'd pass some along...
When printing to the LaserWriter, PageMaker 2.0 offers you the option of
using the Apple Driver (which sets up printing parameters in the LW using
Apple's Laser Prep) or the Aldus Driver (which sets those parameters using
PageMaker's own Aldus Prep). There is a *big* difference, and unfortunately
each has its own flaws.
The Aldus Driver: PageMaker assumes you will use this driver the most, and
recommends using the Apple Driver only when you have probelems printing
PICT graphics imported into your PageMaker document. The Aldus Driver does
a superior job of printing bitmapped graphics and imported digitized
graphics. It also allows you to point/click and resize bitmapped graphics
to the nearest multiple of your PostScript printer's resolution.
However, as a typographer I find the letter kerning (spacing) that the
Aldus Driver provides on bold, capital letters 12 point and above to be
quite unacceptable (too much space between letters). The Apple Driver does
a much better job, as did the old Aldus Prep 1.2 (usable only with old
PageMaker 1.2).
So I find myself switching back and forth between using the Apple and Aldus
Drivers (and wishing there was a simple button to toggle between the two in
the Print Dialogue box, instead of going through 2 different dialogues to
switch). However, this presents some other problems..
When you use the Apple Driver, you lose many of the specific features of
PageMaker:
(1) Large, bold text which has been imported or created with it's Paragraph
Format set to Automatic Pair Kerning (PageMaker's defualt setting) may have
large, random gaps between letters. Workaround: select that text and turn
Auto kerning off.
(2) Graphics created with the Pagemaker graphic tools (boxes and circles,
mostly) and filed with a LaserWriter grey from the Shades Menu will be
filled with the screen bitmap representation of that grey, not the
LaserWriter grey. Also, line widths specific to PageMaker (1.5 pts, etc)
will default to nearest integer values. No workaround.
(3) The order in which PageMaker prints multiple page documents (last page
first, etc) varies between the Apple and Aldus drivers. With the Apple
Driver, you can only print front to back (page one first, second page
second, etc.) Clicking Reverse Order in the Print Dialogue box does
nothing, which means you will always have to hand reverse long documents.
The Aldus driver defaults to back to front printing (the correct order!),
and Reverse Order reverses that. Workarounds: feature, not bug...
Other things to note: Pagemaker records which Driver and type of PostScript
printer (LaserWriter, LaserWriter Plus, LaserWriter from early 1985,
Linotronic 100, Linotronic 300, etc) last used *with each individual
document*. So if you last used the Apple Driver and specified LaserWriter
Plus last time you printed "Letter to Mom," that is what you will get next
time you print it, unless you stop to change it. If you *do* change it,
remember to click OK when PageMaker asks you if you want to save changes
(upon closing).
This message is too long already. See you all in netland; remember, I am
open to questions about PageMaker, using the LW with any grapics
application, and Desktop Publishing in general.
