Subject: [*] Amazing Screens #1; a bunch of startup screens

ACREEN1.HQX and ASCREEN2.HQX
These collections of screens has been made for 640x480 screens.

Any one of these screens can be used as a desktop screen using Deskpict
which is also available from the info-mac archives.  In fact, I use
them all by using Randomizer which cycles through the screens, picking
a new one at each startup.  Randomizer is also available from the
info-mac archives.

As of 9/8/94
Info-Mac: gui/deskpict-11.hqx
Info-Mac: gui/randomizer-12.hqx

If you like these screens, send no money, just consider paying the
shareware fees for Deskpict or Randomizer if you use them.

Have fun and write to the net if you want to see more...

Subject: [*] ArtClipper; displays PICTs

This is the beta release, and my contribution to the Macintosh
graphic media community.  Drop a PICT file on ArtClipper and it will
be rapidly displayed in a window.  You can then copy the picture for
your documents.  As in Anarcho, option click on the title bar of the
window, and you can choose any PICT file from the current directory.
This makes ArtClipper a fast clip art viewer.

Subject: [*] backfractals-vol-i; 4 pictures

  "backfractals-vol-i.cpt.hqx" is a collection of four 640x480 24-bit
pieces of fractal-inspired artwork, designed to be startupscreens,
background pictures (hence the name) or any other such thing. They are QT
JFIF format (Quicktime Extension needed to view/use them) and are
freeware, but not public domain. Anyway, IMHO they are quite beautiful
and full of intriguing detail--each is a composition of 24-bit fractals,
KPT filters and layers of transparency, hghlights, and color. First in a
series of two.

thanks!

Subject: [*] Genealogy Pro 103 demo; for familial data analysis

This file contains the demonstration version of the
macintosh application Genealogy Pro.  Genealogy Pro is a
software package specifically designed for drawing genealogy
charts.  Genealogy Pro uses and stores familial data such as
family names, relationships, and important dates and events,
and automatically creates charts using this data.  Genealogy
Pro can draw vertical, horizontal, and wheel charts.  Family
and direct line (pedigree) formats are both supported. The
data, style and formats of the charts can easily be varied
using the standard Macintosh point and click interface.  The
order, style, and layout of all fields may be altered as
required.  Genealogy Pro is GEDCOM compatable although this
feature is not available in the demonstration version.

Included in the 'Genealogy Pro - Demo folder' is
1.  Genealogy Pro - Demo:  the application
2.  Burrows.gp - an example document
3.  Lincoln.gp - another example document
4.  About Gen. Pro (word) - an abridged ms word file
    documenting the features of Genealogy Pro

Subject: [*] Image Workshop is software for the scientific study of image data

Image Workshop is designed to not only display images from remote sensing
and medical devices, but also to aid in the extrapolation of data from such
images.  This process is facilitated through the use of Image Workshop's
built-in image enhancement tools and palettes.   These tools and palettes
include a set of drawing and painting devices, as well as tools that let
you add layers on top of images, hilite specific color values via the color
palette, work with several images at once, customize the image display, and
compute 3-dimensional images.  We hope that it serves you well.

Do you like the zoom rectangle animation that the Finder draws every time

whenever you do a "Clean Up" while viewing by Icon or by Small Icon?  Well,
I can't stand them.  Here is an application to turn off those zoom
rectangles.  It works on copies of Finder 7.1.3 or 7.1.4 (the Finders
included with the PowerMac and with System 7.5).

Subject: [*] MAc Rogue 1.5; a game

This is the 1.5 relase of MacRogue. MacRogue is the porting
in the Mac environment of the unix game Rogue. Since this
is one of the programs I wrote to learn how to program a Mac
don't expect too much. But someone liked it so perhaps you
will like it too. Please respect the honourware conditions,
few dollars can give a lot of happyness.

Changes to Mac Rouge from 1.0 to 1.5:

* Now you can turn the sound off.
* Improved (a little) the speed.
* Changed the message managing so you can
   see ever the last 3 messages.
* Fixed a bug in the fighting.
* Add the Inventory command to the Command Menu

MailConverter is a utility which converts mail and mail-like files in
various formats into Eudora mailboxes.

Changes since the last release:

1. MailConverter now handles America Online mail files and folders.

2. Files that are already in sendmail format should now be properly handled
by the converter.

3. If a file is not in a recognized format, you now have the option of
proceeding anyway. The converter will do its best to produce something
reasonable by looking for typical mail headers.

4. Cmd-. now works to abort a multi-file conversion.

5. A new switch allows for breaking large (>32K) messages into smaller chunks.

Subject: [*] Malph 2.2.1; a launch pad for aliases

Enclosed please find the latest version of Malph.  If you have
any other versions of Malph,  please replace them with this one.

Use Malph to switch between applications under System 7 instead of
using the Process menu.  To switch to another app, click on the
application icon in Malph.  Malph also has a small indicator showing
what process is currently frontmost, which updates if you click in
application windows to switch between processes.

If you have the Drag Manager AND Finder v7.1.2 or later installed
on your Macintosh, you can drop icons (from the Finder or other
programs like Greg's Browser) on an application tile , and the files
will open with that application.  This is handy when you want to
quickly open a file without using the ROpenIS command from within
the application.  Currently, the Drag & Drop extension is available
with the new Finder on the Developer CD, or ftp.apple.com.  Of course
it may be available in other places, so look around.  The Drag
Manager is also a standard part of System 7.5.

Check out the README file included for information on the rest of
the features, and for a list of features added since 2.0.1.

Version 2.2.1 is just a bug fix release.  Here's what's been fixed,
in case you care.

% Once again Malph icons accept folder drops.

% Better file system performance.  Not only is all file access
  faster, but it should be more robust, too.

% You no longer need the Finder running to open Malph documents.

% A few bug fixes and internal enhancements that you should never
  notice.

This program is freely distributable, but do not alter it, and please
include the README.  I'd appreciate a postcard showing either your
hometown or some strange art, but this is not a requirement for using
Malph.  If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear it.

Enjoy!

Subject: [*] MicroArchitecture Simulator 1.0b5; microprogrammed processor

MicroArchitecture Simulator models a microprogrammed processor
similar to the one described in the book "Structured
Computer Organization" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum. Its hardware
components and its instruction set are fixed (not too much,
as you will see) but its microprogram is fully editable in a
user friendly manner. The processor has access to a 128K
Random Access Memory (it borrows from your Mac); you can
easily view, modify, load or save this portion of memory.
You can run programs and debug them with a step by step
execution. Namely, you can advance by a conventional
instruction, by a microinstruction, and even by a clock
subcycle observing the internal parts of the processor.

Full source code included.

New since previous version:
updated the docs;
CodeWarrior port;
PowerPC native port (FAT version).

It **requires** System 7 or later.
Remember to take a look at the balloons.

This application is FREE! Enjoy yourself!

Poor Man's Newton
Copyright 1993-94, J. Cicinelli.  All Rights Reserved.
Version 1.3, 6 October 1994

Poor Man's Newton is a HyperCard stack that contains address
and telephone information and generally behaves like Apple's
new Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), the Newton MessagePad.
 If you are like me and you can't afford to buy one of these
high tech tools, here is your chance to own a virtual one
that can used on your Macintosh.

Unlike previous versions which were simply v2.x HyperCard
stacks, the current version of Poor Man's Newton is being
distributed as both a HyperCard stack for those individuals
that have HyperCard 2.2 and as a standalone application for
those who don't.

This version adds the following:
 * Adds a Size menu command to the Envelope menu to adjust the size of the
   font used on the card.
 * Envelope menu stored as resource instead of code for easier localization.
 * Documentation is now provided in SimpleText format instead of Word format.

Subject: [*] SoundApp 1.3.1; sound playing and conversion program

Enclosed you will find SoundApp 1.3.1, the latest version of my freeware
sound playing and conversion program. SoundApp can be used with Mosaic for
sound playing. It can play and convert the following sound formats:

SoundCap (including Huffman compressed files),
SoundEdit (including stereo files),
AIFF and AIFF-C,
System 7 Sound,
Sun Audio (AU) (including u-law, a-law, G.721 and G.723),
NeXT .snd,
Windows WAVE (including MS ADPCM compressed),
Sound Blaster VOC,
Amiga MOD (and various others),
Amiga IFF (8SVX) (including compressed files),
Sound Designer II,
Instruments files (Super Studio Session, including compressed),
DVI ADPCM, and
any 'snd' resource.

SoundApp supports conversion to the following sound formats: System 7,
Sound suitcase, WAVE, AIFF/AIFF-C, and NeXT. It can also convert QuickTime
movies and Audio CD tracks if QuickTime 1.6 or later is installed.

Large sounds can be played with minimal memory, and it can convert 16-bit
files to 8-bit files, if desired. It also supports true 16-bit playback as
well as stereo playback.

Version 1.3.1 fixes two bugs:
- snd to WAVE conversion resulted, and
- HyperCard snd conversion.

As before, SoundApp remains Freeware. For more information, please see the
built-in help/About window or the Balloon Help.

This is the fifth beta version of TIMM - The Ideal Mac Mailreader.

TIMM is an off-line mail reader. It lets you read and respond to messages
in packages that you have downloaded from a BBS, at your convenience.
This way, you can enjoy "BBSing" without tying up your telephone line,
running up excessive long-distance charges, or worrying about running out
of time on your favorite BBS.

TIMM includes everything you need to manage your BBS messages and
replies, and it works with any Qmail-compatible mail system.

TIMM is designed to be easy to use, even for people who have limited
experience with off-line mail readers. All the major functions and
features are available from a button or a menu list.

It requires at least a Macintosh LC, System 7 and the ZipIt program by
Tommy Brown (version 1.1.1 or newer).

I am not the author, but this is what the author has to say:
>>
Trade Wars Guide is an essential tool for Macintosh users who plays Trade
Wars 2002 on BBSs. This version of TWGuide will work with all versions of
Trade War 2002.

V1.5 is the latest release of TWGuide as of 10/8/94.Features include :locate
unexplored sectors, list ports, find unexplored sectors and dead ends.

Trade Wars Guide V1.5 will allow you to download and process the CIM data
file while playing TW200 and locate paired ports, locate dead ends sectors as
well as many other options.  These funcitons allows a player to make money
quickly and be competitive against PC users.

TWGuide 1.5 supports System 7 drag/drop.The interface was modified for more
friendly interaction. More error checking routines were added that allows
TWGuide 1.52 to process some files with minor errors.

History
Until now, Macintosh users have been at a major disadvantage when playing
TradeWars 2002. Since TradeWars runs on IBM-compatible BBSs, most of the
utilities written for the game are only available to PCs. It irritated me
that those who were clearly intellectually superior are penalized for
choosing Mac over PC, so I set out to right this injustice. ;)

This is a shareware. If you decide to keep this program, you are asked to
register it. You can register TWGuide by sending me $5 or any amount to a
major charity organization. Please read the enclosed documents for more info.

We have a requirement to access (read/write) data files

There appear to be several options.  One of which is
to mount additional software on the Server to send
appletalk over the net.  This must be ruled out since
the server people are overworked maintaining the
current Novel nightmare and refuse to contemplate additions.

The next solution is to run Insignia's SoftPC or Softwindows
This would clearly work (?) but seems a bit heavy handed.
After all, we don't want to simulate the whole of DOS/Windows
but just the file handling and IPX network protocols.

The simplest solution seems to be to run Dayna's DosMounter.
This product seems very similar to PCExchange only more complex
but they include an INIT called NetMounter "that lets you
see the Novell server without having to install full blown
NetWare Mac and you select it in the Chooser as you would
a Mac Server"

So does this work?  Has anyone seen it it have it working
successfully?  Are there other solutions that I haven't spotted.

Subject: AppleTalk over the Internet? (Q)

Tony,
  There are two solutions, one "free" and not too satisfactory, the other
commercial and fairly successful.  The "free" solution is a combination of
the public domain Macintosh extension and remote server software IP/Remote
Apple Talk (from the nice folks at the University of Melbourne, available
at better archinves everywhere).  The server is called ARNS and is
available in both UNIX and Mac-hosted versions.  The extension adds an "IP
Remote" option to your network control panel.  It works by bundling
Appletalk packets up inside IP packets and sending them to the remote
(ARNS) server which then strips the Appletalk out and puts it on the
network local to the server.  It provids remote printing, Appleshare file
mounting, and access to those applications that can only use Appletalk
protocols.  The Unix server suffers from some bugs and doesn't seem to be
getting any active attention.  There are some people here who are checking
out the mac-based server, I don't know what sort of success they have had.
  The commercial solution is Timbuktu Pro, which provides Macintosh screen
shaddowing (a full remote login) over a pure IP stack.  Our experience with
it has been pretty good.

I've been using the Desktop Textures 2.1 suite on my LC475/Sys.7.1 for

to use the 'deinstall texture' option before opening the General Controls

While I bow to no one in my adoration of the Mac OS, I have to say
that "get a more powerful computer" is not an appropriate or helpful
response to those of us who sank quite a bit of money into our
original purchase of a Mac, only to see software grow ever more
demanding of both RAM and hard disk space. IMO, _really_ good
software would become progressively faster and smaller.

In general this problem is related to either configuring MacTCP wrong, a

I have had this problem fixed not once, but twice in my Duo 210!

My problems were fixed both times with a new logic board. The problem is
something to do with how the battery makes contact with the board. It can
get dislodged and cause the sleep mode to be interrupted ( by a loss of
power) - hence, the Duo is off when you open it again.

I saw this behavior on several occasions. It has something to do with the
power manager getting totally confused by being kicked out of sleep mode.

You can probably duplicate the problem by pressing down on certain parts of
the case just to the left of the trackball. This is not your
responsibility, however (IMO). You have an intermittent problem, and the
service department should fix it rather than ask you to *prove* it.

This is nonsense. There is little likelihood that an init can cause
problems when the machine is already asleep.

What utter nonsense. I would lodge a complaint with the service manager
about this idiot.

Please feel free to print this and give his boss a copy. Call SOS-APPLE and

Your number one problem is a service department problem. This can be
bypassed by calling the 800 line and arranging pickup service. You might
report the service problems you've had as well. It really is a shame that
you ran into such an incompetent.

That last sentence seems telltale. What do you mean by "trashing it and
getting it rebuilt"? Are you trashing the ".toc" file? If so, then of
course the message will re-appear when the ".toc" gets rebuilt. Eudora only
deletes the table of contents entry when you delete a message; it doesn't
compact the mailbox automatically until more than half of the mailbox is
deleted space (or other factors which Eudora takes into account). If you
want to compact the mailbox immeditely, choose "Compact Mailboxes" from the
Special menu or command-click on the size information in the lower left
hand corner of the mailbox window.

Why would you trash the table of contents in the first place?

    Has anyone heard of a problem with Greg's Buttons crashing the
Chooser?  My set-up is PM6100 8meg with system 7.5, virtual memory ON
to make it an even 16 and NOW menus, plus the standard Apple goodies.
I thought I had the latest version of Greg's Buttons 3.5b4
     Symptoms include 'application unknown has quit with 1010 error'
on first launch of the chooser, with a tiny little vertical line the
height of a title bar but only 2mm wide on any subsequent re-launch
of the Chooser.  WindowShade thinks that this _is_ a title bar as
double-clicking it gives me the close/open sound.
    My solution was to remove Greg's Buttons and then re-install the
Chooser from the CD.  Any other fix didn't seem to work....  Oh- and

Subject: How to Print PS version of TT font on PS L2 Printer

I had our logo designed in PostScript Type 1 in 1987.  With the advent of
System 7, and since I used a QuickDraw printer (DeskWriter), I abandoned
ATM and PostScript for TrueType, thanks to Font Monger, with perfect
results.  In the process, I also renamed the TT font.

Now I have a PostScript Level 2 printer, and although the TT font still
prints perfectly on the DeskWriter, it prints imperfectly on the PS level 2
printer (at 300 dpi, but misaligned).

The original PS1 version printed perfectly on a PS printer with or without
ATM.  Now I would like to have System 7 download the original PS1 font, but
it won't do it automagically.  And when I do it manually, the System still
doesn't recognize that it's downloaded, and continues to print the
poor-quality TT-rasterized version.

I suspect the renaming caused the connection to be lost between the TT and
PS1 fonts.  The original name of the font was "REAL".  I renamed it "Real
People".    Can you tell me how to edit the PS1 font text file so as to
re-hook the two versions and have the system recognize and automagically
download the PS1 version instead of the TT version?

I'm hesitant to change the name of the TT font, since I'd risk getting a
lot of Courier output!

Thanks in advance for your help.  Cheers!

Subject: Mac 630, IDE Hard Drive (R)

Greg,

"My question is does anyone own a Quadra 630?  How do you like it. Also,
does anyone have familiarity with the hard drive for use in it. Supposidly,
it takes an IDE, PC-ish type of hard drive.  The article said that most
hard drives are compatible.  Which ones aren't?  Where can I go to get
this info.
Also, the article said that it requires a drive specific formatting program.
In other words, can't use Mac-type 3rd party formatting programs."

My wife and I recently bought a Quadra 630 and we both love it.  It is FAST
(just about the fastest 68040 machine Apple has).  We're running QuickTime 2.0
on it (which it comes loaded with) and video playback is smooth.  We had an
extra 16MB SIMM put in it (from the Chip Merchant for only $430!) to bring
total memory up to 20MB; the measly 4MB it comes with is nearly useless.  I
installed the memory myself (and I'm no hardware techie), Apple has done a
GREAT job building this machine, installation of the SIMM was easy!  Expansion
of the Q630 should be a breeze, the motherboard slides out/in from the back of
the machine after removing only two screws!

The Q630 comes with System 7.1.2P, but may be shipping with 7.5 by now.  (If
you do get 7.1.2P, ask your dealer for the card to send in to get 7.5 on CD for
only $10.)

The Q630 does use an internal IDE hard drive which is NOT compatible with
current third-party formatting programs (though some may update their programs
in the near future).  The drag is that to format the disk you must use Apple's
supplied formatter which does not support partitions.  I should note though
that (as do all Apple machines) the Q630 comes pre-formatted with system 7.1.2P
pre-installed (and the 7.1.2P floppies are included).

My current use of the machine is running MIDI software; all of which have had
no compatibility problems running on the Q630 (I've upgraded from an SE/30).

My overall impression of the Q630 (after using it for about a month now) is
VERY favorable.  This will be/is one hot machine the Apple will score high
points for (and sell many units of!).

Unless you want/need a Power-PC (PowerMac) machine or you have specific
expandability requirements such as needing a NuBus slot, you should consider
the Q630 as your best price/performance Mac out there.

Hi Gregory

>to get this info.

You've to differentiate between the internal (IDE) and the external (SCSI)
harddisk. IDE and SCSI are two completely different things; you can't
simply put a new SCSI disk inside to replace the IDE type disk - it's just
like the parallel vs. serial connection of printers, with the difference
that there exist "converters" for the printer connection but not for the
harddrive connection, as far as I know.

You can attach any SCSI harddisk externally, the 630 has the same
connector as all other Macs since the Plus have. I am not sure about the
handling of the IDE disks in Macs; I know these disks form the MS-DOS
side. There you have to use the "setup" utility (in the ROMs of the PCs)
to tell the machine what size etc. the HD is (disks are selected by
"type", which means number of R/W heads, number of cylinders, number of
tracks, etc. - a really messy thing. You better keep your documentation
very well when you get a new harddisk...).

As for the compatibility of IDE drives in the 630 Macs - I must admit I
have never seen any technical details neither from Apple nor from some
other sources. But if your internal IDE disk is big enough now, you can
still expand by adding an external SCSI disk when the internal one becomes
too small.

>Also, the article said that it requires a drive specific formatting

Apple gives a different version of it's formatting program with the 630
type computers. This should handle your original IDE drive. You will still
be able to use Silverlining (or whatever 3rd party software you own) with
all aour (external) SCSI drives.

Subject: Mac based Internet host vs. unix

Hello,

A couple of people have asked about using the Mac as a unix host either
with Mac based applications or using A/UX to run unix software.  I thought
I'd share a couple of thoughts on this as well.

The following software will allow you to offer the following Internet
services from a mac.  As far as I know, they should all be available from
the Communications directory from the Info-Mac and Univ. of Michigan
(Merit) archives.

    Email     MailShare 1.0b7       Users must check email with POP based
                    software such as Eudora, both are free
    FTP       FTPd                  $10 shareware fee
    Gopher    FTPd
    WWW       MacHTTP               $50 to $100 shareware depending on use
    Finger    Finger                $10 shareware fee, I think

As far as I know, there isn't software to let the mac serve as a NNTP
USENET server, IRC server, DNS nameserver, Listproc email list server, IMAP
email server, and other common unix protocols.  Otherwise for the services
mentioned above, it's not bad as long as the volume isn't too high.  I've
used MailShare to provide email to a group of 200 users where 10 - 20 users
transferred email simultaneously.  That worked pretty well and could
probably be expanded to 30 or so without too much frustration.  I've heard
the Mac technically supports up to 64 simultaneous MacTCP connections but
realistically bogs down before that.  This does require that the users
check for email with Eudora or other POP client which may mean having to
carry email around on a floppy disk if they are not always at the same
machine, such as with students.

FTP bogs down much quicker.  I would say around 10 - 15 concurrent users,
but others may have had better performance.  Gopher and WWW are as bad as
long as you are storing primarily fairly short text documents and not large
image files.  Using a unix machine for WWW gives you a lot more flexibility
for creating scripts to automatically process documents and provide forms
based services.

All in all, if you want to test things out or make them available to a
fairly small user group where your concurrent use is likely to be in the 10
to 20 user range, the Mac isn't a bad host for some services, but if you
want to provide the full range of Internet services for a larger group,
you'll still need to learn unix or better yet hire someone to maintain it.
Sure it adds an expense but in the long run will be worth it by providing
better support and service because unix isn't trivial for most people to
learn and support, as long as that person is really knowledgeable (or at
least willing to learn) and doesn't feed you a lot of bull about what's
possible and isn't possible (which sometimes happens because it is so hard
for most people to understand).

>From what I've read, you're probably better off to go with a low end full
fledge unix box rather than AU/X for best performance.  Does anyone have
experience with providing Internet host support via AU/X for concurrent
usage into the 50 to 200 user range?

Hope this helps.

L.S.,

I recently bought a CD-ROM drive and enjoyed many beautiful multimedia (MM)
programs. However, I encountered two problem for which I'm looking for a
solution.

1. MULTIMEDIA on an LC.
Most MM-programs require at least a 13" monitor. On my old LC I only had a
12" but I've changed that to a 14". But now I only have 16 colors maximum
which again does not suit most MM-programs. To avoid expanding VRAM on my LC
I am looking for some software that can reduce the used/usable portion of the
14" monito to a 13" screen and in return lets me have 265 colors again. Does
anyone know whether something like this exists.

2. MIDI and QuickTime 2.0
They say that you can play MIDI files through the internal speaker of the Mac
using QT 2.0, the QT music file extension and MoviePlayer. I tried to do that
and I can indeed change MIDI-settings using the option-button in Movieplayer,
but no sound comes out of my of my Mac if I try to play it using MoviePlayer.
I tried adding the Midi-manager and/or the Sound manager (3.0) to the system
but that didn't help much. Any idea's why this doesn't work ? (tested on both
an LC and an LC III using System 7.1)

Thank you for your help.

Instead of going through all that wait try holding down option and then
double-click on the PowerPC Upgrade Card control panel once you have
started up (in either 68040 mode or 601 mode) and you will have an option
enabled for the PowerPC Card not to verify RAM on startup. You will,
however, still have to physically shutdown the computer and start it up
again to see the result, as per the instructions in the Control Panel and

Subject: Syquests

I have had a strange problem with my 105mb Syquest. Sometimes (more frequently
recently) when i push the cart in, it will start to spin up, and then will lock
my computer right when it gets to the right speed. The indicator light will
stay
solidly on (not blinking like when it's accessing). Then when I do the
ctrl-cmd-pkey, the drive will seem to "unlock" and reset itself (the light goes
out, and then seems to access normally). If i load it up as my machine starts
up, it's okay, but then will probably happen with another cart.
Now, i had problems with this before, and i was told to make sure all of the
drivers of all the hard drives connected were the same version, which they are
now (done with Anubis Utils 2.52q). It may be an init conflict, but i'm trying
to see if anyone else has had the same or similar problem. It may be the
driver,
and i'm trying to see if there is a new version of the formatter.
Needless to say, it is annoying to have to restart the machine whenver i use a
different cart, and the tech support people aren't sure what's up and want to
play with the deck and carts themselves.

Subject: UNIX on Mac - an ingenious implementation

In some of the last bulletins I saw quite a number of queries concerning UNIX
on
the
Mac and topics like Linux etc. It seems not yet to be widely known that there
exists a
quite ingenious implementation of a Mach kernerl (the UNIX which is also basis
of the
NEXT operating system). This implementation is called MachTen and it runs in
parallel
to the normal system 7, similar to the SoftWindows system providing MS Windows
in
parallel to system 7.

The MachTen widely uses Mac configurations which leads to a great
simplification
of
operating the UNIX. E.g. the lpr-command of the UNIX automatically prints to
the
printer selected in the Mac chooser. The most fascinating thing is that with a
Mac-X X-
window terminal software you can connect to the UNIX in your own Mac.

Furthermore the pallette of GNU software is available for MachTen which makes

Subject: Where to get IIsi heat sink?

I modified my Mac IIsi from 20 to 25 Mhz one and a half year ago without
installing a heat sink. Even though it has worked with no apparent problem
until now, I decided to put a heat sink after reading articles about the IIsi
modifications available at info-mac/info/hdwr. However, I have no idea
where to get what and how to install it. Would anyone help me by email?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same error. I figured that "Drag Lib" meant Drag and Drop Manager. I
FTPd from apple and installed that and WHAM! It runs fine now.

Plus I have the ability to copy notes off by literally dragging them off...
Oooooh! :p

So my recommendation is that if you get that error to install the D&Drop
Manager...

Other than that it works great. (BTW I would have mailed the author, but our
mailer bounced the message. :( And that's why I'm replying here..)
