-
- Greetings,
- A client of mine has asked me if there exist Mac equivalents for the UNIX
- utilities: yacc and lex. He uses them on UTS (our unixalike) and assumes
- they are available for Mac programming. I don't know what they are but I
- told him I'd ask. So... do they exist? How can he get them?
- Thanks,

-
- I wish to solicit help in using Kermit through a TAC (Terminal Access
- Controller) on the Arpanet. I am using Red Ryder through a TAC to a DEC System
- 20 and am having no luck at all. Some of my associates have experienced
- similar problems going through the TAC but could not help me with my MAC
- problems.
-
- The problem is that TACs aren't transparent to "normal" characters.
- In particular, the TAC intercepts the character @ and everything after
- it up to a carriage return. To avoid this, you have to redefine the
- intercept character, or disable it completely. Refer to the TAC
- User's Guide; I believe you type:
-
- @ i NNN
-
- where NNN is the decimal character code you wish to be the new
- intercept character. I expect that setting the intercept to some
- little-used control characer like control-] (029) will work. To set
- it back to @, you say
-
- control-] i e
-
- There may be further problems with flow control. The TAC has a mode
- where it will control the terminal (Mac) if it can't keep up. If the
- file transfer program will accept and act on XOFF/XON flow control,
- this should be enabled (@f i s). Normal TAC configuration is for flow
- control of the TAC by the user, but not vice versa. Since the TAC
- doesn't support flow control in both directions at once, you may be
- stuck. The other related commands: @f i e (input flow-control end),
- @f o s and @f o e (output flow-control start and end).

- Subject: New games on Mac
- To: infomac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu
-
- My impressions of several new games for the Macintosh:
-
- Crystal Quest: Very good action/shoot-em-up game. Great digitized sounds,
- challenging, fast-paced, and in dazzling color on the Mac II.
- If any of you have played Crystal Raider, the shareware
- version, this is better, especially on a Mac SE or II which
- has the ABD mouse which is more precise.
-
- Apache Strike: Great game, probably my current favorite. You're a helicopter
- pilot in about 1997 whose mission is to destroy the Enemy's
- (ie- Soviet Union's) SDI computer systems. You see a 3-D
- view of your helicopter flying in downtown Russian cities,
- weaving in and out of skyscrapers with walkways connecting
- them, which makes for challenging flying! You're heli is
- armed with bullets and missiles. You have to first get past
- the enemy helicopters and tanks before wiping out the SDI
- computer. From Silicon Beach (makers of Dark Castle, Airborne,
- Super Paint).
-
- Falcon: Intriguing fighter flight simulator. As close to realism on
- the Mac as you can get. You fly your F-16, trying to shoot
- down enemy MiGS. There are 10 missions, and you can be any
- of 5 ranks. Fun, but difficult, to play.
-
- Of the above, all run on the Mac+ and Mac SE, while Crystal Quest & Falcon run
- on the Mac II.

- HELLO EVERYBODY,
- I'VE FOUND AN ANNOYING BUG WITH WORD 3.01 AND THE IMAGEWRITER LQ PRINTER:
- EVERYTIME YOU USE THE MATHEMATICAL TYPESETTING FEATURES, IT LOOKS OK ON
- THE SCREEN AND ON THE LASER, BUT ON A LQ WORD INSERTS SOME MORE SPACES
- BEFORE EACH FRACTION AND THE RIGTH MARGIN BECOMES SCRAMBLED...
- IS THERE A NEW VERSION OF WORD AVAILABLE? I'VE SENT IN MY REGISTRATION
- CARD, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY UPDATES SO FAR...
- MICROSOFT, ARE YOU LISTENING?

- Subject: Format of SERD Resource
- From: ZAKAR@A.ISI.EDU
-
- I would like to have my own driver controlling the modem port. I assume
- this means that I have to write a SERD resource and override the one in
- the (128K) ROM. Can someone give me information on the format of a SERD
- resource? Better yet, can someone tell me that I don't have to write a
- SERD resource and tell me how to use my own .AIn and .AOut drivers?
-
- Thanks
