- For those who only have an American version of the new Finder/System (6.0,
- 4.2) and only have an old English keyboard (like me) these resources may be
- some help.
- It includes a new KCHR resource, with the English Keyboard's key-layout,
- and as an extra for dutch people, it includes the INTL and itl0 resources
- to give you the date in the Dutch format. April-9-1988 will be displayed
- as 9/4/88, not as 4/9/88.
-
- This is my first posting to INFO-MAC, so I hope it got there.

- From: singer@harvard.harvard.edu (Jon Hueras)
- Subject: Red Ryder and macget/macput
-
- There has been some talk recently om comp.sys.mac about Red Ryder's
- incompatibility with macget/macput. It is all quite true, and it is for
- that reason that I undertook quite a while ago to modify macget and macput
- from its sources to make it compatible.
-
- Here's what the problem is. It has nothing to do with XModem, which both
- MacTerminal 1.1 and Red Ryder are equally capable of handling. It has to
- do with the protocol used on top of XModem by each to effect binary Mac
- file transfers. Red Ryder uses the fairly widespread MacBinary standard for
- this, a standard that either didn't exist when MacTerminal 1.1 was written
- or was not so widespread. I suspect that some nascent version of MacBinary
- must have existed at the time because what MacTerminal 1.1 does is almost
- exactly the same. However, what is accomplished in a single XModem transfer
- in MacBinary is done in three separate XModem transfers via MacTerminal:
- one transfer for the file's "header", one for the data fork, and one for
- the resource fork. MacBinary accomplishes the same thing in one XModem
- transfer by letting the header information determine how to separate the
- data part from the resource part. It was thus fairly trivial to modify
- macget/macput to merge the three transfers into one.
-
- So, anyway, here are slightly modified versions of macget and macput that
- do MacBinary instead of MacTerminal style file transfers. [Enclosed in
- two separate messages to follow.] Two other features that I tossed in were
- CRC handling and the <ESC>B auto-receive feature. I have renamed these
- programs mbget and mbput to avoid confusion with the original macget and
- macput.
-
- Many thanks are due to Dave Johnson, the original author of macget and
- macput, for writing this stuff in the first place and for blessing the
- release of this version of it. Please note that these programs are still
- copyright (c) 1984 by Brown University and may be used but not sold without
- permission.

- Subject: SCSI Accelerator
-
- This posting contains SCSI Accelerator, an INIT resource written by
- David Denowh. SCSI Accelerator is a patch to the Mac's SCSI-dispatch
- code; the author reports that it substantially increases hard-disk
- throughput (especially if the disk is subsequently reformatted with
- a lower interleaving ratio).
-
- SCSI Accelerator is definitely a "use at your own risk" tweak. It was
- designed to be used on a Mac Plus under System 4.2, and may not work
- in other configrations; it performs some sanity-checks when patching
- itself into the SCSI dispatcher, and will not install itself if it
- can't find the appropriate hooks. Mr. Denowh strongly recommends
- backing up your disk before installing SCSI Accelerator (or any other
- modification that may affect disk access). He's willing to assist
- people who use System files other than version 4.2, and is interested
- in hearing from people who have tried SCSI Accelerator.

- Subject: New scroll-bar resource
-
- This is a posting of Scroll2, a CDEF (control-definition) resource written
- by Mayson G. Lancaster. This CDEF enhances the standard Macintosh scroll
- bar; it places "scroll back" and "scroll forward" arrows at both ends
- of the scroll bar, so that you can scroll in either direction without
- having to move the cursor back and forth between the ends of the scroll-bar.
-
- Scroll2 is delivered in the form of an Installer script that will add the
- CDEF resource to your System file, and also install three ROM-override
- resources so that the Mac will use the new disk-based CDEF rather than
- the one installed in your Mac's ROM. Mr. Lancaster has also provided
- an Installer script that re-installs the standard Apple CDEF; if you
- don't like Scroll2, you can deinstall it and then restore your System
- to its original state. Instructions for installing and deinstalling
- Scroll2 are included in the StuffIt archive.
-
- Scroll2 is shareware.

- Subject: New animated cursors for the Finder
-
- This StuffIt archive contains three new animated-cursor sets that can be
- installed into Finder 6.0. If you're tired of the
- wristwatch-with-rotating-hands, you can now have: a little hand counting
- 1-2-3 with its fingers; a rotating image of the planet Earth; or an
- hourglass complete with trickling sand. Instructions are included; you'll
- need a copy of ResEdit to install the CURS and acur resources into the
- Finder.
-
- These cursors were designed by David Stockwell.
