In previous post there was someone mentioning a program to save the settings of the Mac ControlPanel. Could someone please tell me where to find this program by ftp or maybe mail it to me. /Jesper Karlsson pst@elin.lne.kth.se

For those of you looking for accessories for A-Max, like mouse
accelerators, control panel settings savers, etc., try this
FTP site:
36.44.0.6
There are lots of goodies in the "info-mac" directory.ericb@athertn.Atherton.COM (Eric Black) (03/16/91)

It's a startup program, just put it in your System folder, and it lurks in the background, saving any control panel setting changes into a disk file which it reads next time you start up. It is available for FTP from host [36.44.0.6], in the directory info-mac/util, the file is named disk-param.hqx. It needs to be uudecoded, then binhex'd, then unstuffed -- see your local Mac software packrat for help, I did. It seems to do the job as advertised. The problem I have with it is that my AMAX-II "Mac" locks up randomly when I run disk-param. I have since decided that I'd rather set the mouse speed, sound parameters, and ram cache size each time I start up AMAX for the first time rather than have it lose work for me (I'm good enough at that myself, without help :-) Does anyone have any clues as to why this happens? Is there another program that does the same job but is more sociable? -Eric -- Eric Black "Garbage in, Gospel out" Atherton Technology, 1333 Bordeaux Dr., Sunnyvale, CA, 94089 Email: ericb@Atherton.COM Voice: +1 408 734 9822

For those that can't FTP does anyone know a BBS that has some of these A-Max utilities? Preferably 9600 bps to keep long distance charges down. Thanks.

>...question about having trouble with disk-param, and is there something >else better to use...? I only needed to accelerate my mouse; didn't much care about the rest of the control panel settings besides the clock, and A-Max sets your clock for you. So what I use is Pointer Device. I don't remember the exact filename in the info-mac directory of 36.44.0.6, but it is close to "pointer-dev.hqx". It is a control panel device that gives you VERY precise control over your mouse's acceleration threshholds, and will implement them upon startup each time. Voila! No more slow mouse! :-) And just a quick note; A previous poster said that ".hqx" files needed to be uudecoded... They do not. They only need to be unBinHexed and then UnStuffed.
