Subject: [*] BBEdit extensions for MacPerl Rel. 5.2

I have  written several BBEdit extensions that facilitate the use of
BBEdit and  BBEdit Lite with MacPerl (a Macintosh port of the Perl
programming language). This is release 5.2 of the extensions. The
extensions included are:

1. Run MacPerl (version 1.1.4) Runs a script in active BBEdit window.
STDOUT and STDERR are displayed in a BBEdit window.

2. Check Perl Syntax (version 1.1.4) Checks the syntax of a script in the
active BBEdit window.

3. Run MacPerl Front (version 1.0.4) Switches to MacPerl and runs the
script in the active BBEdit window.

4. Run File with MacPerl (version 1.1.4) Runs a script selected from a
standard file dialog. STDOUT and STDERR are displayed in a BBEdit window.

5. Edit MacPerl Script (version 1.0.2) Allows runtimes, droplets, cgis,
etc., that are created with MacPerl to be edited in BBEdit.

6. Shuck (version 1.0) Looks up the text selected in the active BBEdit
window using the Shuck POD reader that comes with MacPerl.

7. Perl Filters (version 1.1.2) Allows Perl scripts to act as text
filters on text selected in the active BBEdit window (this is a BBEdit
tool extension and only works with BBEdit, not BBEdit Lite).

The extensions are freeware. More information is available on my BBEdit
extensions web page:

Subject: [*] commentexcerpter-110

CommentExcerpter 1.1 is a project produced with Data Transformer Project
Manager 0.9a9 available on Info-Mac. This project extracts comments from C
or C++ source code. <a href="http://www.euronet.nl/users/malmgren/">More
information about this project is available on the net.</a>

The minimum system required for CommentExcerpter is a Macintosh LC
(Motorola 68020), running MacOS 7.0 or later and Data Transformer Project
Manager 0.9a9 or later.

To compile the project you will also need a C/C++ compiler from a third
party vendor, such as Metrowerks or Symantec. In order to run the final
application, systems before version 7.5 also require the Thread Manager
extension, available for free from Apple.

From: malmgren@euronet.nl
Subject: [*] data-transformer-pm-09a9

This is a unique visual development environment with wich you easily create C++
source code for a Mac OS application that transforms and/or translates data.

Work is done in a drawing environment and when the graphs are finished the
project can be compiled to C++ source. The C++ source uses the thread manager
and the source can be added to existing applications as well as form stand alone
transformation applications.

<b>Advantages of the Data Transformer technology:</b>

<ul>
<li>   The whole concept is learned fast and easy.
<li>   Unexperienced C/C++ programmers get a safe entry to advanced
       Macintosh programming.
<li>   Experienced programmers are freed from burdens of coding and
       maintaining state machines.
<li>   Work done with this technology are prepared for the future and need
       not to be redone all over again and again. A project need only to be
       recompiled with a new version of Data Transformer Project Manager
       to take full benefit of future enhancements.
</ul>

The minimum system required for the Data Transformer Project Manager is a
Macintosh LC (Motorola 68020), running MacOS 7.0, or later. Currently, the
Project Manager is not PowerPC native.

To compile sample applications you will also need a C/C++ compiler from a
third party vendor, such as Metrowerks or Symantec. In order to run the
final application, systems before version 7.5 also require the Thread
Manager extension, available for free from Apple.

This archive contain the Data Transformer Project Manager, a Sample
project, a sample shell for both MetroWerks and Symantec compilers, a
read-me file in HTML format. <a
href="http://www.euronet.nl/users/malmgren/"> The documentation of Data
Transformer Project Manager is available on the net.</a>

Subject: [*] Disinfectant 3.7, an essential anti-virus utility

This is version 3.7 of Disinfectant, John Norstad's venerable freeware
anti-virus utility. It has been updated to detect a variant on the MBDF B
virus that the Disinfectant INIT in version 3.6 caught, but which the 3.6
application missed. This file has been scanned and is free of all known
viruses. All Disinfectant users should udpate to this version, and anyone
currently not using anti-virus software should seriously consider using
Disinfectant to protect against potentially dangerous code viruses. Note
that Disinfectant does NOT attempt to detect or remove macro viruses such
as those that infect Microsoft Word documents.

Subject: [*] System's Twilight 1.0.5: An Abstract Fairy Tale

This game is a story and a puzzle. The story is made up of several
parts, not all of which may be obvious. The puzzle is made up of many
puzzles, some of which aren't obvious at all.
That's all I'll tell you. The rest you get to figure out yourself. Have
fun.
Puzzle-game enthusiasts will notice that this game is in the style of
Cliff Johnson's classic puzzle games, "3 in Three" and "The Fool's
Errand". However, be assured that the story and all the puzzles are
original. In fact, as far as I know, all twelve *kinds* of puzzles are
original. The interface is a step forward as well, allowing full
control over your character's movement and the ability to pick up and
carry objects.

It is compatible with System 6.0.7 or System 7, any Macintosh or
PowerMac, and can be played on monochrome, 16-color, or 256-color
displays. It requires only 1 meg of free memory. Complete help about
the interface is available under the Help/Balloon menu (or, under
System 6, the Apple menu.)

I do not give out hints on the puzzles, because I hate to spoil other
people's fun. If you want help, you may have some luck asking on the
Usenet group comp.sys.mac.games.adventure, or on other on-line games
forums.

System's Twilight is shareware. You can play the first 25% of the game
for free; to progress beyond that, you must register. Registering costs
$15 (US dollars).

System's Twilight is now distributed by PlayMaker, Inc. Yay! You can
now register by phone; they take credit card orders. Nothing else has
changed; the game is still shareware, and it still costs $15.

[July 2, 1997: This is still version 1.0.5, but the ordering address
has been modernized, so it should replace earlier copies of 1.0.5.]

or distribute it freely, as long as no money is charged for it. This

What's available for teleconferencing that lets a person talk to another
person via Internet, thereby avoiding long distance charges?    My
nephew, with whom I'd like to talk with via Internet, is using Microsoft
NetMeeting on his pc, but it appears that NewMeeting is for the pc
platform only.  

I've read a few blurbs about CU See Me, but the emphasis is on video
conferencing. Would it work effectively using audio only, or is there a
better application for audio-only?

try something like MacTCP Watcher to do a DNS lookup from that machine. If
that doesn't work, you need to go to OT and properly configure your DNS
pointer.

if that works OK and if this is your first setup of AIMS, go to the eudora
web pages, from there go to the tutorials provided by various folks and
follow the instructions exactly. chances are you have something
misconfigured in EIMS.

if it worked before you installed OT and now it doesn't work, and MacTCP
Watcher can do a DNS lookup, I'm stumpped.

for some reason this reminds me of a MacTCP error message, not an OT error

Subject: [Q] Localtalk / ethernet problem

I've set up an ethernet network and all is working splendidly, except...

My wife has an HP deskwriter 660 connected to her 8100 via phonenet
connectors and the printer port. Obviously when the appletalk connection

is set to "ethernet", she can't see the deskwriter, and she has to:
    go to the apple menu
    select the appletalk control panel
    switch from ethernet to printer port
    close the control panel
    go to the chooser
    select the deskwriter
    close the chooser
    print.

Then when I need the ethernet connection reestablished, I have to go
through simlar  list of steps.

No one is happy.

I figured that I should be able to use AppleScript to automate this
task, but I'm unable to get the script editor to record my steps to
create a script. I know very little about appleScript syntax, and have
no clue as to how to write this script manually. Any suggestions?

I know I can buy "LocalTalk Bridge" from Apple for about a 100 bucks,
but that seems a little steep for what we need.

Thanks for the help

I suggest you look into netatalk, available (at no charge) from the U. of
Mich.  It's not "ARA-like," but it does provides Apple Filesharing Protocol
(AFP), and Printer Access Protocol (PAP) services over EtherTalk and
therefore appears as a Mac file server over a network.  In addition, UNIX
printers can be "advertised" as AppleTalk PostScript printers (i.e.,
LaserWriters).

More information can be found on the netatalk Web page:

Subject: Netscape 4 (C)

Howdy everyone,

with regards to Al Bloom's comment about Netscape 4, my experience
has been that 4 is considerably more stable than 3. However, it *is*
BIG. I use Eudora for email and NewsWatcher to read the news, so I'd
prefer to be able to install only the browser and editor parts of
Netscape. Another thing that bothers me is related to sorting
bookmarks. In 3, it was possible to select a certain group of
bookmarks and  sort only those. In 4, when I try that, *all*
bookmarks get sorted; that defeats the purpose of being able to
rearrange their orders manually by dragging. Is this a bug or a
(non-) feature? Finally, I agree with Al that the palette is a step
back.

Al, you ain't wrong. Here are my favorite (?) 4.01 gripes:

1) Menu drop-down is slow. If you have more than a couple of sites 
bookmarked, it's glacial.

b) The Command-R shortcut (to reload a page) has been reassigned to some 
other function in one of the useless-but-not-optional non-browser 
components.

iii) Here's the killer: "safe palette"-compliant GIFs are no longer safe. 
4.01 randomly shifts pixels from the 6x6x6 palette to rogue color values, 
usually dithering the image in the process. Mind you, this is not done in 
a consistent manner. Thus, from my perspective as a professional site 
developer, 4.01 is worthless as a means of previewing pages.

BTW, you can dock that idiotic floating palette, by simply clicking on 
its close-window button.

In response to Al Bloom's last post about Netscape 4:

I don't think I have quite the same problems as you, but the annoyances
are there none the less.

Any program which is really slow to use on my 9500/132, (which Netscape
4.0 is)  I don't really want to be using.  3.0 Zips on a long, but 4.0 
seems to load graphics slower, and respond slower to the click of a mouse.

It'll be 3.0 for me and my organization for a while to come, unless
something gets fixed, or someone can give me a hint at how to speed NS 4.0
up a whole lot.. I can just imagine trying to run it on my in the
office 8100/80!

No special drivers needed.  Just install System software like you would
anything else.  I believe Apple System Profiler will identify the machine
as a 7200.

My PowerCenter 120 came with System 7.5.3L [for "L"icensee, I assume]
installed on it, but it is now running plain vanilla 7.6.1

Subject: System Software for Mac 128k?

Greetings all,

I'm looking for system software that will boot what I'm assuming to be a 
Mac 128k. I came across this little gem via a co-worker, and I couldn't 
resist the idea of having Apple's oldest Mac sitting on my desk next to 
Apple's newest Mac (a 9600/233).

Again, I'm guessing this is a 128k, primarily because the serial number 
on it is "M0001". It's in a compact case, has keyboard input ports that 
look like RJ-11 (telephone) jacks, and simply the word "Macintosh" on the 
front (no bloody A, B, C, or D <g>). The folks at SOS-APPL were really 
friendly (and just as interested in it as I was), but none of them had 
experience with a Mac this old. In the end, we still weren't able to 
positively identify it.

In any case (to give you some background), the Mac 128k was introduced 
around January 1984, has a 512x384 B&W screen, 128k of RAM (that's 0.125 
megabytes for you power-users out there), and no internal hard disk.

It boots off of a 400k floppy.

So this is my problem. The oldest system software available via FTP at 
Apple's Software Library is System 6.0.3, which is available only as an 
800k disk image. When tried, the little Mac burps it out and resumes 
blinking the looking-for-boot-device icon. The history books say this Mac 
shipped with System Software version 0.0 through 1.0, but I'll be darned 
if I can find them anywhere on the Net. I'm not even sure if the 
SuperDrive on a 9600 can synthesize a 400k floppy anymore. I'm still 
somewhat amazed that any Mac could boot AND run an application (MacDraw?) 
in 128k of RAM! That's only 1/32nd the size of my disk cache setting.

Any ideas? And NO, I don't want to turn it into an aquarium.  :)
