TidBITS#256/12-Dec-94
=====================

In this, our last issue of 1994, we announce the arrival of Geoff
   Duncan, our new managing editor; report on problems with Quantum
   Daytona drives and certain SCSI-Manager 4.3 compliant drivers;
   debunk the "Good Times" hoax; report on Global Village's new
   OneWorlds; and share fact, speculation, and rumor about future
   Macintosh operating systems. Finally, this issue really tells
   how to get Apple press releases via email. Best wishes for 1995.

  This is the final issue of 1994, since we plan to take the next
  two weeks off in order to enjoy the holiday season with friends
  and relatives. As the year ends, we'd like to thank you for
  participating in the spread of knowledge and ideas throughout the
  global Internet community. May all your wishes come true.

**IBM Halts Pentium Shipments** -- IBM said Monday that they are
  halting shipments of Pentium-based PCs because the risk of
  floating point division errors in Intel's chips was "worse than
  previously described." Intel has asserted in press releases and
  public announcements that the bug's probability of occurring is
  only once in every 27,000 years of typical use and that the
  majority of off-the-shelf software would not be affected. IBM,
  however, said their tests indicate that common spreadsheet
  programs could generate the error as frequently as once every 24
  days when recalculating for only 15 minutes a day. Further, IBM
  joined Hewlett-Packard in offering to replace flawed Pentium chips
  at no cost to customers. However, Intel is not expected to supply
  corrected chips to manufacturers until the first quarter of 1995.

**Our FTP site** at <ftp.tidbits.com> (also called
  <ftp.halcyon.com> because it's one of Northwest Nexus's public
  machines) reeled under the load placed on it as users requested
  the updater for MacTCP last week. Unfortunately it seems that the
  machine claimed "user anonymous unknown" when it meant there were
  too many simultaneous users logged in. Other users experienced
  "file table overflow" errors that we haven't figured out yet.
  Don't worry if you receive one of these errors; simply trying
  again a few times usually works, and you can retrieve the file
  from the /comm directory of any Info-Mac mirror site.

ftp://ftp.tidbits.com/pub/tidbits/tisk/info/info-mac-mirrors.hqx

  In addition, Apple's Communications Products & Technologies group
  recently upgraded the home site for the MacTCP upgrade,
  <seeding.apple.com> (a Quadra 700 running FTPd 2.3 and AppleShare
  3.0), to handle 25 simultaneous users. [ACE]

**Got those MacTCP 2.0.6 Updater Blues?** Many MacTCP 2.0.4
  users have had bad experiences trying to use the MacTCP 2.0.6
  updater (see TidBITS-255_). Specifically, the updater application
  often refuses to update the existing version of MacTCP because the
  driver resource ".ipp" doesn't match what the updater expects.

  The updater works properly on a "clean" copy of MacTCP 2.0.x
  that's never been installed; however, if you're absolutely stuck
  without a "clean" copy, this particular problem may be fixed with
  ResEdit (but _no_ guarantees):

ftp://ftp.apple.com/dts/mac/tools/resedit/resedit-2-1-3.hqx

1) Make a **copy** of the MacTCP 2.0.x control panel.
2) Using ResEdit 2.1.1 or higher, open your copy of the MacTCP
  control panel.
3) Locate the DRVR resource and open it. You should see only one
  resource, ID 22, called Driver: ".ipp".
4) Select the driver resource and choose Get Resource Info from
  the Resource menu.
5) At the bottom of the resource info window are six checkboxes:
  uncheck the System Heap checkbox.
6) Save your changes and quit ResEdit.
7) Run the appropriate MacTCP updater on your modified copy of the
  MacTCP control panel.
8) Swap the updated MacTCP and the old MacTCP in your Control
  Panels folder and restart.

  Note that updates to MacTCP 2.0.4 or 2.0.6 cannot be performed on
  versions 1.x of MacTCP. [GD]

**Multiple Santas** -- The Internet Multicasting Service has also

  several corporations, including Sun Microsystems, have agreed to
  donate thousands of dollars to charities of their choice. The
  catch is that the donations come in dime-sized increments, one for
  each time someone on the Internet browses the Web pages associated
  with those charities. So, for instance, to receive the full
  $25,000 promised by Sun, the Second Harvest Food Bank pages must
  be viewed 250,000 times; otherwise Sun gets the unused portion of
  their money back in early January. Browse early and often. [ACE]

New TidBITS Managing Editor
---------------------------
  by Adam C. Engst <[e-mail]>

  With this, our 256th issue, we are pleased to welcome Geoff Duncan
  <[e-mail]> as our Managing Editor. You may have noticed
  his [GD] tag affixed to a few MailBITS in the past few issues, and
  starting with this issue, he'll be writing and editing more
  articles. Frankly, this is a huge move for TidBITS; in the past
  Tonya and I have handled all of the administrative tasks
  associated with TidBITS, as well as much of the writing (with the
  able assistance of Mark H. Anbinder, our indefatigable News
  Editor) and all of the editing. Geoff's main goals are to help
  keep the quality of TidBITS high and to work on new and innovative
  ways of creating and maintaining a fully electronic publication.

  When we decided this summer that we had to bring someone in to
  help with TidBITS, Geoff was one of only a few conceivable
  candidates. We needed someone who was totally comfortable with
  email as the primary method of communication, whose knowledge and
  experience complemented ours, who could write his or her way out
  of a paper bag, whose computer skills were at least on a par with
  ours, and - most importantly - who knew and understood true
  electronic publishing.

  Needless to say, Geoff met all of these requirements perfectly.
  He's worked on many different computer systems connected to the
  nets from the time he was a student at Oberlin College (where he
  received a degree in Sociology and Art History/Studio Art and
  wrote a senior honors thesis on implications of the net). Geoff
  has worked as a studio musician and recording engineer, had jobs
  in a biochemistry lab, as a technical writer, and as an intern in
  charge of user services in academic labs, not to mention his work
  in advertising and marketing production and as an independent
  computer consultant. Most recently, he worked as a software tester
  and test lead on several Microsoft CD-ROM products, and he's
  better at breaking programs than most anyone I know.

  Geoff knows far more about Unix and VMS than I'll ever hope to;
  he's a competent programmer and scripter; and he participated in
  an early electronic fiction magazine called Athene, which later
  became the highly regarded electronic fiction magazine InterText
  <[e-mail]>. Geoff is the long-standing assistant editor
  of InterText, and works with the editor, Jason Snell (also an
  assistant editor at MacUser), and another assistant editor, Susan
  Grossman.

http://www.etext.org/Zines/InterText/

  [Thanks for leaving out the awkward bits about my electric bow tie
  collection and the incident with the Hawaiian shirts and chocolate
  cake mix. I owe you one. -Geoff]

  The addition of Geoff to our staff makes possible positive changes
  to TidBITS in the future. We'll start using <[e-mail]>
  as our public address soon, so as to spread the massive email load
  around among us. You will also start seeing more corporate
  sponsors, since the income generated from the sponsorships will
  support Geoff, in addition to being funneled back into the
  business to cover our connection, travel, hardware, and office
  expenses. We hope to improve and increase the information we make
  available by more fully utilizing alternative methods of
  publishing on the Internet.

  The main reason we decided we needed help with TidBITS is that as
  TidBITS has become more popular, we've had more trouble keeping
  up. It hasn't helped that both the Macintosh industry and the
  Internet continue to grow and evolve; nor has it helped that both
  Tonya and I have various book publishing projects that constantly
  clamor for time and attention. TidBITS is now read by well over
  110,000 people every week, and our direct mailing list (graciously
  hosted by Rice University, one of the early members of the
  Macintosh university consortium) has become one of the largest
  LISTSERVs on the Internet, with more than 14,700 subscribers and
  increases well in excess of 1,000 readers per month. So, if an
  article generates even a 0.05 percent response, that's still a
  fair amount of email to respond to. In the early years of TidBITS,
  the volumes were much lower, of course, and we had more to prove
  back then. Now we're concentrating on figuring out ways of
  reclaiming our lives from the gravitational pull of Eudora's In
  Box while still contributing to the net community. After all, no
  one benefits if we burn out before we hit age thirty.


Relax, it's a Hoax
------------------
  by Mark H. Anbinder, News Editor <[e-mail]>
     Director of Technical Services, Baka Industries Inc.

  Early in December, many well-intentioned people forwarded email
  messages warning of a virus called "Good Times" that was being
  distributed as an email message that would erase your hard drive
  if you read it. These messages sparked much confusion and even
  some reports of virus sightings, but investigators have determined
  that the warning messages were merely a hoax.

  The Computer Incident Advisory Capability office (CIAC) of the
  U.S. Department of Energy released a bulletin on 06-Dec-94
  explaining that the message originated from an America Online user
  and a student at a university at approximately the same time, and
  that it was meant as a hoax.

  Karyn Pichnarczyk of the CIAC team said the warnings gained a
  false aura of credibility when many users received messages with
  "Good Times" in the subject line and deleted them without reading
  them, "thus believing that they have saved themselves from being
  attacked."

  Some computer professionals have commented that the message itself
  is the virus; one offered the term "memetic virus" to describe the
  way this warning has prompted well-meaning readers to propagate
  it.

  CIAC says that at this time there are no known viruses which can
  infect merely through the reading of an email message. A program
  must be executed for a virus to be spread. Trojan horses, programs
  that do something other than expected but that don't replicate by
  themselves, have appeared as executable attachments to mail
  messages.

  Pichnarczyk suggests that anyone receiving a warning about a "Good
  Times virus" should "simply ignore it or send a reply stating that
  this is a false rumor."

  As always, we strongly urge that, if you find evidence of a virus,
  or receive a warning of one, you forward it directly to an anti-
  virus expert. Spreading unverified reports just creates panic, and
  allows this sort of thing to happen. Gene Spafford at Purdue
  University <[e-mail]> has said he's willing to receive
  such material.

Two More OneWorlds
------------------
  by Mark H. Anbinder, News Editor <[e-mail]>

  Global Village today announced they are preparing to ship two new
  models of their OneWorld communications server family. The
  OneWorld Network Modem replaces the OneWorld Remote Access server,
  offering both incoming ARA and outgoing shared modem services. The
  OneWorld Combo offers both of those features, plus the outgoing
  fax service of the OneWorld Fax server.

  When Global Village introduced their OneWorld Fax and OneWorld
  Remote Access servers (see TidBITS-232_), the potential for
  enhancement was obvious. The OneWorld Combo unit offers nearly all
  of the capabilities we outlined nearly six months ago. (It still
  can't receive faxes, and currently supports Apple Remote Access
  1.0 or 2.0, but not SLIP or PPP.)

  The basic OneWorld device is still a book-sized box with one or
  two PowerPort modems (100-series) installed, and either just
  LocalTalk, or both LocalTalk and EtherTalk ports. Global Village's
  downloadable firmware approach means any OneWorld can take on any
  of the above identities. In fact, first-generation OneWorld owners
  can upgrade to Network Modem or Combo capabilities quickly and
  easily. (Serialized keys mean users won't be able to pirate
  upgrades.) Global Village will begin shipping the new OneWorlds
  around the time of next month's Macworld Expo in San Francisco,
  and both retail and upgrade pricing will be available at that
  time.

  GlobalFax gets a face-lift with this release as well; the popular
  fax software that comes with the OneWorld Combo now offers better
  greyscale and more dialing options. The current software also
  supports all of Global Village's personal modem products; previous
  OneWorld users had trouble with Duo and 500-series PowerPort
  modems.

  Each of the modems built into the OneWorld can handle any or all
  of the unit's tasks: incoming ARA, outgoing faxes, or outgoing
  network modem service. That network modem service gives users the
  option of "shadowing" either a modem or printer port, or of using
  a CTB-aware application to access the OneWorld server more
  directly.

  A single OneWorld Combo could replace two LanRovers, two TelePort
  Mercury modems, and a 4-Sight Fax server, all with a single box
  that doesn't require a Macintosh. Sounds like a good arrangement
  to me.

PowerBooks, Quantum Daytonas, & SCSI Manager 4.3
------------------------------------------------
  by Geoff Duncan, Managing Editor <[e-mail]>

  During the last few weeks, reports have circulated on the nets
  about failures to properly spin up PowerBook hard disks after
  putting a PowerBook to sleep. These reports have most often been
  associated with the use of SCSI Manager 4.3-savvy drivers.

  La Cie has confirmed that some series of Quantum Daytona hard
  disks with capacities of 250 MB, 340 MB, and 540 MB don't like
  SCSI Manager 4.3-savvy drivers and have exhibited problems with
  Silverlining 5.6 (the first version of Silverlining to take
  advantage of SCSI Manager 4.3). The workaround is to obtain from
  La Cie a revised version of Silverlining (5.54/23) that
  specifically addresses this problem.

  La Cie will send version 5.54/23 at no charge to any owner of
  Silverlining 5.6 who is having problems with a Daytona drive. Note
  that the disk image for version 5.54/23 is included with the La
  Cie software included on all La Cie's new drives (even ones that
  shipped with Silverlining 5.6), so check for it before you make a
  telephone call. La Cie's standard upgrade policy from any previous
  version of Silverlining is $10, plus $5 shipping (or $7 and your
  phone number for Airborne Express). To upgrade from a previous
  version, you'll need to send your original program disk to the
  address below.

  FWB, makers of Hard Disk Toolkit (HDT), also confirm that their
  engineers discovered a problem with sleep mode on Quantum Daytona
  disks and will correct the problem in HDT 1.6.3, which they hope
  to ship by the middle of this week. An upgrade policy has not been
  set at this time, but a FWB representative indicated that they
  anticipate offering a free upgrade to users of HDT 1.6 and Quantum
  Daytona disks, and they also plan to release an updater
  application to the nets.

  In the meantime, PowerBook users with Quantum Daytona disks may
  wish to avoid SCSI Manager 4.3-savvy drivers (we haven't received
  information from other driver makers) until these problems are
  resolved. Note that although SCSI Manager 4.3-savvy drivers
  improve hard disk performance on most 68040 Quadras and all Power
  Macs, they don't improve performance on 68040-based PowerBooks or
  the Quadra 630 (see TidBITS-251_ for details). For the time being,
  PowerBook users have no reason to upgrade to SCSI Manager 4.3-
  savvy drivers.

OS Directions: Marconi, Copland, and Gershwin
---------------------------------------------
  by Geoff Duncan, Managing Editor <[e-mail]>

  With rumors that the next major revision of Apple's system
  software (Copland or System 8) is set for the tail end of 1995,
  Apple is gearing up for an interim system software release in
  early 1995 to pave the way for new Macintosh models and critical
  new Apple technologies. In the meantime, Apple is slowly
  dispersing information on future system technology in an effort to
  clarify their stance on future directions and Windows 95.


**Marconi** -- Code-named Marconi, this system software will
  incorporate support for new Power Macs based on the PowerPC 603
  and 604 chips, including new PowerBooks, desktop Macs, and
  upgrades for existing CPUs set to ship in the first half of 1995.
  In addition, Marconi will ship with OpenDoc, Open Transport, and
  possibly the Appearance Manager and the long-rumored enhanced
  version of the Power Mac's 68040 emulator. We should also see some
  interface changes, better support for 3-D graphics technology,
  support for PCI and other (possibly FireWire) peripherals, and a
  good deal more PowerPC-native code in the system.

  The much-touted OpenDoc is a central technology in Apple's
  movement toward a more document-centered operating system (see
  TidBITS-187_, TidBITS-210_, and TidBITS-219_). To over-generalize,
  OpenDoc lets users apply collections of small, compatible tools to
  their documents rather than throwing their documents at sets of
  large, unwieldy applications. Under OpenDoc, users will be able to
  mix-and-match spell checkers, drawing tools, text tools, and
  utilities to meet their particular needs. OpenDoc is a superset of
  Microsoft's OLE 2.0 technology (shipping in current versions of
  Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Works) and will thus be compliant
  with existing applications using OLE.

  Open Transport is a new, modular layer of the operating system
  designed to allow Macs to communicate "natively" using any network
  protocol, such as TCP/IP, SNA, Novell NetWare, DECnet and others.
  Traditionally, Macs only "speak" AppleTalk; Open Transport will
  enable Macs to behave as if they were native denizens of any
  network, and furthermore be able to run more than one network
  protocol simultaneously. Presumably Apple will provide a set of
  protocols with Open Transport (such as AppleTalk and TCP/IP);
  other protocols will likely be available from third parties.

  Incidentally, Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1947) was an Italian
  engineer who transmitted long-wave radio signals across the
  Atlantic in 1901. In 1909, he shared the Nobel Prize in physics.


**Copland** -- Although rumor and innuendo continue to surround
  Copland, a few common themes have begun to emerge. One is that it
  probably won't be called System 8. Apple representatives declined
  to comment on what Copland's final name might be, although they
  have suggested it won't be System 95. Copland may ship under the
  name MacOS, possibly with Marconi leading the way as MacOS 1.0.
  Copland is also allegedly a complete rewrite of system code based
  almost entirely on OpenDoc components.

  Another consistent thread is that Copland will be the last release
  of Macintosh system software that will run on 68000-based Macs
  and, furthermore, that the release of the 68000-based version of
  Copland might occur as late as the second quarter of 1996. Apple
  insists that Copland will ship by the end of 1995 (a key point in
  their strategy to compete with Windows 95), but they may be
  backing away from commitment to a 68000 version by that date.
  Although this is good news for Power Mac owners, it does leave
  many owners of earlier Macintoshes wondering what will happen
  next.

  Copland is presently set to include a significant set of features
  and enhancements:

* Preemptive multitasking and protected memory. The new
  microkernel-based system will enable your Mac to do more things
  simultaneously and let you continue working without interruption
  through what now are modal operations (i.e., formatting disks,
  launching applications, polling network services, etc.). Protected
  memory management means that crashes in applications (or even the
  system) should have minimal impact on other programs or your
  machine. (This should also include support for applications
  developed under the current Macintosh memory model and run them in
  their own protected memory area.) Copland will include a threaded
  version of the Finder that can run many Finder tasks concurrently.

* Active Assistants: With the introduction of Apple Guide in
  System 7.5, we've seen the beginning of active assistance
  integrated into the Macintosh system. Copland will expand on this
  model and include precursors to intelligent agents. Expect early
  examples to be tightly integrated with the System - printing,
  network use, and PowerTalk come to mind - but application support
  and inter-application features should be provided by third
  parties.

* Workplace features, with better support for workgroup and
  collaborative applications. Likely candidates include MovieTalk
  (QuickTime-based video-conferencing) and collaborative document
  spaces that can be modified and viewed simultaneously by multiple
  users.

* 64-bit memory addressing, which would allow Macs to see disks up
  to 256 terabytes in size and access over 16 million volumes
  simultaneously. This should keep even the most intensive power
  users happy for at least a couple of years.


**Gershwin** -- Fewer details are available regarding Gershwin,
  Apple's system software set to follow Copland in 1997. It seems
  that Gershwin will not run on 68000-based Macs; however, it will
  incorporate a portable microkernel that would allow Apple (or its
  licensees) to compile Gershwin for a variety of processors,
  including (but not limited to) PowerPCs, DEC Alphas, MIPS, and
  Intel processors. If this effort bears fruit, users would be able
  to select from a number of hardware architectures and still run
  Macintosh applications. Not surprisingly, Gershwin is set to
  include application and operating system frameworks from Taligent,
  allowing Mac users to run applications from other platforms under
  the Mac OS.

  Gershwin is also slated to support multi-processor machines. As
  CPU chips get less expensive, significant performance improvements
  could be seen on desktop computers by incorporating a number of
  inexpensive processors rather than a single high-end, high-speed
  CPU. This would also allow Apple to have a mainstream OS that runs
  on high-end, multi-processor workstations and servers.

  Gershwin should include system-level support for advanced 3-D
  graphics, possibly with the aid of technology licensed from SGI or
  other graphics-platform vendors. This would let application
  developers and information providers more easily incorporate
  high-speed 3-D models and renderings into their products.
  Additionally, Gershwin should include intelligent agents that
  handle and assist with a wide variety of tasks. Don't look for
  them to simply help you learn your new word processor or find a
  missing file: intelligent agents might handle telephone messages,
  email, reservations, personal finances, program the VCR, and even
  make sure your house has that lived-in look while you're on
  vacation. Intelligent agents will likely be one of the gee-whiz
  features Apple focuses on as Gershwin gets closer to market, both
  in its advertising and demonstrations, as well as in efforts to
  attract developers to its new technologies.


**Summary** -- With these rumors of spectacular progress in
  Apple's operating systems, it's important to note that Rome wasn't
  networked in a day. With Marconi, the introduction of OpenDoc and
  Open Transport will likely be akin to the introduction of
  QuickDraw GX with System 7.5: cool technology that few programs
  support. By introducing these technologies and shipping them with
  new Macintosh models, Apple hopes to push these components into
  the world and encourage developers to use them. By the time
  Copland ships, these technologies will hopefully be mature enough
  to provide real advantages for everyday Macintosh users.

  By announcing these plans as much as a year in advance and making
  some details available to developers and the press, Apple is also
  attempting to clarify its stance relative to Microsoft's much-
  hyped (and much-delayed) Windows 95. Microsoft would have you
  believe that with the introduction of Windows 95, there will no
  longer be any reason to buy a Mac. By discussing and demonstrating
  its current and upcoming technology, Apple hopes to show that its
  offerings already eclipse Windows 95, and that the Mac's future
  will both ship earlier and be significantly more elegant than
  Microsoft's options. This certainly won't be the last chapter of
  the Mac-versus-Windows debate, but I believe it shows Apple
  intends to be in the thick of the fight.
