Speaking of the Tech Notes, for the first time ever when I went to print them out (Mac 512KE, Sys 3.2, Finder 5.3, MacWrite 4.5 [4.6?], MacDraw 1.9.5, LaserWriter [original]) the pictures came out all screwed up. Text was in the wrong fonts (chiefly Chicago), and extra text items were scattered around with font names as the text. Has the format of these notes changed from what it was in the past? Is this the sign of PICT2's or is something else wrong (like a virus)? (Upgrading this Mac is not really an option, I'll be lucky to keep my job as it is, much less replace this puppy. Not to mention that the corporate answer to "I need a new Mac" is "Use Windows 3.0.") +----------------+ ! II CCCCCC ! Jim Cathey ! II SSSSCC ! ISC-Bunker Ramo ! II CC ! TAF-C8; Spokane, WA 99220 !

You must have the fonts from the suitcase file shipped with Technical Notes for them to print correctly. Check the FTP site, AppleLink, or the distribution disks from APDA for these font files. These MacWrite files are also formatted for LaserWriter driver 6.0, and earlier versions may result in different results-although this is highly unlikely to cause the problems described. -- Mark B.
