Reducing screen flicker in simple animation. What to say when the appropiate Gestalts aren't there? small snag The Comp.Sys.Mac.Programmer Digest is moderated by Francois Pottier (pottier@clipper.ens.fr). The digest is a collection of article threads from the internet newsgroup comp.sys.mac.programmer. It is designed for people who read c.s.m.p. semi- regularly and want an archive of the discussions. If you don't know what a newsgroup is, you probably don't have access to it. Ask your systems administrator(s) for details. If you don't have access to news, you may still be able to post messages to the group by using a mail server like anon.penet.fi (mail help@anon.penet.fi for more information). Each issue of the digest contains one or more sets of articles (called threads), with each set corresponding to a 'discussion' of a particular subject. The articles are not edited; all articles included in this digest are in their original posted form (as received by our news server at nef.ens.fr). Article threads are not added to the digest until the last article added to the thread is at least two weeks old (this is to ensure that the thread is dead before adding it to the digest). Article threads that consist of only one message are generally not included in the digest. The digest is officially distributed by two means, by email and ftp. If you want to receive the digest by mail, send email to listserv@ens.fr with no subject and one of the following commands as body: help Sends you a summary of commands subscribe csmp-digest Your Name Adds you to the mailing list signoff csmp-digest Removes you from the list Once you have subscribed, you will automatically receive each new issue as it is created. The official ftp info is //ftp.dartmouth.edu/pub/csmp-digest. Questions related to the ftp site should be directed to scott.silver@dartmouth.edu. Currently no previous volumes of the CSMP digest are available there. Also, the digests are available to WAIS users as comp.sys.mac.programmer.src.

Over time, these batteries are susceptible to a "memory effect", which can reduce their battery capacity. The memory effect can be cured by fully discharging the battery before recharging it. DeepDischarge provides a safe, fast and automatic way to deep discharge your PowerBook's battery. DeepDischarge automatically bypasses the low battery warning dialogs, and prevents the "soft" sleep brought on by those dialogs. Instead, DeepDischarge will run your PowerBook's battery down until the "hard" hardware shutdown occurs, which is at a lower voltage. This provides the best discharge possible. Version 1.0.1 prevents the backlighting from dimming, for an even faster discharge. Shareware; $5 registration fee suggested. See enclosed docs for more information.

Version 1.2.4 is a maintenance release of MacHTTP with one major exception. Support for PowerPC has been added. MacHTTP is now distributed as a fat binary, which allows it to run in native mode on either a 680x0 Mac or a PowerPC Mac. The "Server is running" message that appears during start-up will now tell you which version is active. MacHTTP 1.2.4 doesn't require any additional memory when running, but the application file is about 75% larger than the previous version in terms of disk storage, weighing in at a disk-hogging 145K. ;) The bug that caused MacHTTP to enter an infinite loop when a script returned HTML text containing a carraige return has been fixed. It should now be possible to do all sorts of nifty stuff like URL redirection and HTTP/1.0 headers from scripts. See the script examples for details. Also, the timeout value used to tell MacTCP how long to wait for network communications to time out (different than the TIMEOUT command in the config file) has been increased to allow clients accessing MacHTTP via SLIP more time to complete their read or write operations. MacHTTP is now HTTP/1.0 compatible. Rudimentary support is now included for MIME type mapping. See the comments in the MacHTTP.config file for more details. You must use the upgraded config file format for suffix mappings with this version. The next major release of MacHTTP (probably 2.0) should be out soon and will have all of the new HTTP/1.0 features documented much more thoroughly. In addition, this version should include the AppleScript runtime distribution. This file should be archived as machttp124.sit.hqx, or something similar, and it replaces all previous versions.

Thanks to all who responded to my Info-Mac query about the Homesick Quadra. It so happened that we discovered the solution about an hour after I had posted the "help!" message (ooops...). However, rather than posting a retraction, I figured I'd see what the collective intelligence came up with. And what a wonderful bunch of replies! Actually only one of them was correct about the solution; Joel Lingenfelter at biola.edu writes: "I am thinking that the problem lies in the router/bridge/gateway that connects this room to the rest of the network. You might try shutting the router/bridge/ gateway off, booting the mac, and then turning the aforementioned network device on again." Right on, Joel. Over the weekend, the IB-1 router that serves that building was rebooted; when it came back on line, our Quadra checked out A-1, no problems. Moral of the story: when you've looked at all of YOUR network connections, see if the router is working properly. The rest of you (I think) assumed that we hadn't checked out the cabling thoroughly. Most of the suggestions centered around the localtalk-ethertalk gateway, and also the line from the Quadra to the hub. What was so puzzling to us was that the cable plant was in perfect shape; each drop in that room was tried, and all the drops worked with any other computer. And yes, we did try different ethernet adapters on different computers (a real mix-n-match, let me tell you!), with each adapter working fine on all the other computers. A couple folks suggested checking out MacTCP; we did that early on. The reason it wasn't suspect was that the same (manually assigned) IP address had been working fine a half hour before, and MacTCP will tell you it's an invalid IP if someone else is already using it. In this case, MacTCP ran without complaint; it just couldn't find anyone else to talk to. Which pointed to another device being the problem. One other comment: it was really interesting to see how many of you who responded did so with the assumption that my cable plant was the same as yours. Don't forget, there are a bunch of hookups available, each with a peculiar set of "bugs" and odd problems: appletalk, phonenet, fiber, coax, 10-base-t, thick-ethernet, etc. Something I learned from this: I should always find out what the other guy is using. Don't assume it's the same setup as I have. Otherwise I'll give advice about something he doesn't use. Thanks again, all who responded. Problem fixed, and I hope this summary makes us all a bit wiser. Oh, and by the way, Apple Tech Support never called back...

So, I said since there is a forum on CompuServe, surely there must be an e-mail address of 'someone'. She then asked, "Is CompuServe a LAN product? I don't see it listed in our product line." HUH???? I asked her if she knew what CompuServe was. Bailing out, she then gave me a few other phone numbers to call. They all have the same wait problem.

To fix your SE/30 do the following: Go buy Macintosh Repair & Upgrade secrets by Larry Pina (I think this may have been renamed "The Dead Mac Scrolls") Buy the parts you need from Soft Solutions (their number is in the book). Fix it yourself for a total cost that will be much less than a new analog board from Apple. (It is your analog board that is bad, not your monitor) If you are not comfortable doing component level repairs on your mac, Soft Solutions can do it for you. (503) 461-1136 is their number. A few years back, my SE had a similar problem, my flyback transformer went out. I purchase the book ($30) the parts ($27) and all the necessary tools ($45) for a total cost of around $100... Since then I have repaired other people's macs with that book and those tools, and made the money back. In addition, it still saved me money over paying for a regular repair.

Distances between the LANs are considerable so we need to set up Ethernet to connect them. We do not have high speed requirements on the individual LANs and find that LocalTalk satisfactory for sharing printers and managing software. We are looking for inexpensive and simple equipment. Advice would appreciated regarding several questions since little information is available locally. Catalog houses also offer limited descriptions of Ethernet devices and we don't know where to start. Basic configuration: LAN "A": 21 Mac's, a Quadra server with built-in Ethernet. Current length of "A" Localtalk network from end to end: 50meters LAN "B": 5 Classics, no existing Ethernet device. Current length of "B" Localtalk network from end to end: 25meters LAN "C": 10 Mac's, no Ethernet device. Length of "C" Localtalk network from end to end: 25meters -Distance between LAN "A" and LAN "B" > 30 meters. -Distance between LAN "B" and LAN "C" > 60 meters. -LAN "B" is located between LANs "A" and "C". Questions: 1) As the problem is essentially how to connect the Localtalk LANs to Ethernet links, how are Localtalk and Ethernet active simultaneously on the LANs without switching via the CHOOSER on the servers with Ethernet cards? 2) What type of Routers or external devices are required? 3) What type of cable is recommended given the distances? Are resonant lengths an issue? 4) Will the Quadra with Ethernet connect directly to other Macs with Ethernet cards or are external devices required?

However, future plans call for attaching multiple computers (multiple operating systems) around the campus, *perhaps* using this same main box for school data bases other than library science. In any case, right now the Apple Work Group servers are under high consideration, with (perhaps) Power Mac 7100's as the clients. The former would have multiple CD ROM volumes attached, the latter would likely have their own individual CD drives as well. Several DOS and/or Windows PC's (some IBM PS/2 Mod. 30's, some clones) would likely be connected locally to this network. Which Network Server would likely be best for this? Is it a mistake to go with Apple's server product at all? Should AppleShare 4.0 be used for this application, or should the A/UX Pro version be used instead? If we're going to bite the bullet on UNIX, should we use "real" UNIX harware and software, and avoid Apple's like the plague? What advantages (and extra costs) would accrue by waiting for the Power upgrade to one of these Work Group servers? As with any new system, this planned network will eventually be used for purposes never imagined at the time it was designed. Given the always-present budget constraints, what options are likely to give us the most flexibility. Please reply directly, and I will summarize if there are enough responses. Traci J.

I have been under the (mistaken?) impression for some time that b (or B) in a version number implied a beta version and that, therefore, 2.47b, is EARLIER rather than later than 2.47 ..... or, at least, that 2.47 is more reliable than 2.47b since the latter is still under test.

It has the 50 pin SCSI connector on the back, and works great. There are a few things to know: (1) If the PowerCD is on when you turn your machine on (and not playing already) you will have to use the DA to be able to play music. (2) If you have used the PowerCD and decide to turn it off while your machine is still on, it freezes your machine... (3) It is not doublespeed, and it is not the fastest drive around, but it is fast enough to play games, play quicktime on a Quadra 700, and read files off of. The only time it seems slow is when it is loading all of the desktop folder icons on my BMUG PD-ROM. The only thing that seems weird is that the base is a separate, attaching item, and yet the machine is useless without the base... I bought it because: (1) I can play photo cd's on my tv, as I don't have a slide projector... (2) I can use photo cd's on my mac (3) I can use it as an audio cd player at my desk (4) It runs on batteries, so I can use it as a cd player in my wife's car with one of those tape adapters and (5) it is a very competent cd-rom drive. It works great in all these ways, and looks cool too...

If you're in the market for a PowerMac you'd better be a big fan of virtual memory or have a healthy SIMM budget. I had a chance to try out a PM with a copy of PhotoShop with both the 68K and PPC versions. The 68K version used a total of 5MB while the PPC version devoured 14Mb of memory. This is not too surprising since it is RISC architecture. I've seen this same situation on many other RISC platforms from other vendors. Also, SIMMs have to be added in PAIRS now because of the PPCs addressing scheme. Speed does have its price.... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Mar 1994 08:42 EDT From: ahill@ACC.HAVERFORD.EDU (Ashley Hill) Subject: Q: Rebuild Desktop w/o losing Info Comments One of our faculty extensively uses the comment window in the Get Info boxes.

My boss just dumped this subject on me, and while I feel relatively confident on the mac doing mostly everything, networking is mostly out of my field. The network to be installed in question will have maybe 30 pc's attached to it, that will coexist with the macs. A Quadra 800 will be the server, and those pc's want to be running Windows and a visual basic application. Can anyone help?

Would this be faster? Are you sure you need to "receive" the file? If it's not costing you $/minute, you might just read info-mac from the terminal emulator (use the unix mail reader or more) and cut and paste anything you find interesting into a mac file. That would actually be slightly faster than a Kermit transfer when you are transfering (no error checking) and will seem a lot faster, since you can start reading as soon as you start transfering. If you are paying for connect time, with any communication program with a good sized buffer (can kermit do this? There are several free programs that can), you could just connect, cat the info-mac digest (let it all scroll past), hang up, and scroll back to read it. >Q2: Under the contents, several articles are marked with an asterisk (*). >Does this mean file attached?

The asterisks just indicate new files uploaded to the info-mac archive, which is an ftp (file transfer protocol) site on the internet. There is a way to get these files by e-mail, but I'll let someone more experienced explain. Files you need to transfer with kermit or zmodem or something, since one bad character will spoil the whole download (not true in info-mac digest).

We have a 10baseT network in the office with PCs, Macs, and a couple of Novell file servers. I need to be able to access the network resources via dial-up just as if my remote machine were actually a network node. I know I can do this with Appleshare Remote Access for the Macs, but I need a solution for the PCs as well. Ideally, I'd like to find one vendor product family that can help me. I need to know what modems/hardware are required for the solutions as well. Additionally, I'd like to set up a network-accessible modem that can be used by both Mac and PC users. Can someone recommend a product? I would need company phone numbers as well (or at least the home city so I can use Information). Any help is appreciated. Jeffrey A.

I've also noticed that the latest version of F/A-18 Hornet has a Thrustmaster joystick setting. This system is expensive.
