Subject: Claris MacWrite 5.0

I have been using the new MacWrite ever since I got the upgrade last
week, and I have to say that there are many frustrating things about it
compared to Apple's MacWrite 4.6.

Although the spell checker provides much-needed power, it is poorly
integrated into MacWrite as a whole. When you check your document, a
truly amazing display of windows resizing, text selecting, and things
opening and closing unfolds before you. While not inconvenient in
itself, the changing display is annoying and an indication of a poorly
designed product. Additionally, the spell checking window is a modal
dialog even though it appears to be a modeless dialog. The modality is
frustrating, especially since windows with similar functions (ie the
find window) are modeless.

MacWrite still can die with a system error when you move the insertion
point with the left and right arrows and then select undo.

Many of the keyboard equivalents have been changed, especially in the
Style menu. This again is a violation of the User Interface Guidelines.
I find it annoying to not have a keyboard equivalent for superscript and
subscript as I used to.

The program puts up a dialog with your name and organization at the
start. I don't mind this in itself; what really gets me is that there
seems to be a DELAY so that you can read this window. I don't need extra
delays in my life; Claris shouldn't give them to me. Why don't they just
put up the licence window while they do the initialization?
Initialization certainly takes long enough.

MacWrite is more than twice as large even without the dictionary files.
I can't believe the code for the spell checker is 100K, and I can't see
any other major enhancements.

Still has the left margin of one inch, etc., etc...

Oh well, I still like it better than Word, but not much.

I am 'helping' take care of a business that just purchased 3 mac SE-20s,
LaserWriter NT, 2.5MB per machine, a single page Radius and a two page
Radius. The systems are using Multifinder, TOPS and either WriteNow
and/or Excel.
    Problem one is that this is an appraisal firm and they print out 50-100
page documents, but after about 15 pages the printing stops, the light
on the NT keeps flashing for ? amount of time and then a timeout error
appears on the screen (the file is still there, would you like to
reprint?).  All I hear about is how great the Victor 9000 running
Wordperfect is, and how it can print ALL of the pages and even let you
keep typing at the same time (problem two).  I know there is some
problems running WriteNow under Multifinder, but if I disable TOPS the
55 page test document prints out fine.  Any answers?
    Problem two, they wanted a print spooler.  Great, instead of spending
$120 a copy for Super Laser Spool I would get printmonitor working under
multifinder.  Great, the only problem is that when the job is being sent
to the printer neither mouse nor keyboard input shows up until the page
finishes, not good.  How about Super Laser Spool, it's only $120 a copy
and if it does transparent spooling it's worth it.  Gosh, it doesn't
work with Multifinder.  Bad, the users now  can not live without
Multifinder.  Try work around, start system with finder and Super Laser
Spool, Cmd option double click on Multifinder. Works fine until printing
starts and then "GREAT SHIMMERING RECTANGLES" the system hangs.  What
fun.  And to think I told them that the Mac would be easier than an
MSdos machine to get operational.  Everyone there loves the Mac (I'm not
always sure if I do 8-)), but these  small problems are the worst.
    Oh yes, I tried calling TOPS Talk (415-549-5955), but their  machine
must be having troubles also, as nothing answers.

I've only had a chance to dig into AlisaTalk so far, as I am still
waiting for a PacerShare beta tape (yes, it's an announced product, but
it's still in beta, I guess that's come to be the norm)

I ran into a few problems getting both packages to run at first
(partially due to incomplete installation instructions, partially due to
voodoo system problems)

One note to users of Wollongong WIN/TCP who want to get AlisaTalk or
PacerLink:

If you are using the dedicated DEUNA driver for WIN/TCP, you're going to
need to call Wollongong and tell them you need to use the shared
DEUNA/DEQNA driver.  This isn't a big deal, all you need to do is get a
new key from TWG, which they'll read you over the phone, and then
re-link the inet stuff to include the shared DEUNA driver.  After this,
just edit your startinet.com file and the syconfig.com file and you're
all set - For the dedicated deuna driver, sysgen leaves out the XE
driver while autoconfiguring the system at boot time and both AlisaTalk
and PacerLink need this.

Before I got this driver change from Wollongong, I tried installing
AlisaTalk with WIN/TCP not running.  For some reason the appletalk/vms
bridge process was unable to get the deuna's ethernet address and
therefore was responding to AppleTalk ARPs by saying "My ethernet
address is FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF," which is an ethernet broadcast address -
not good.  This caused on the order of about 10-20 ethernet broadcast
packets per second to flood the net while I was using the AlisaTalk file
server.  Once I had the shared DEUNA WIN/TCP up and running this problem
mysteriously went away.

Both Alisa and Pacer provide printer spooling software that takes
advantage of VMS queuing services, AlisaPrint and PacerPrint.  Alisa
also provides a DEC printing package that will allow Mac users to access
the LPS-40 and the LN03-R.  I haven't dug much into that package, as we
don't have any DEC printers at our site.  I do know that the LPS-40
supports most of the things that a LaserWriter can do (not including
smoothing though, apple handles that with 68000 code embedded in the
postscript - or so I hear)

The one big difference I see between the two printing systems is how
they handle LaserWriters or other LocalTalk-connected printers.
AlisaPrint allows you to leave your printers out on the LocalTalk net
where they can still be accessible to Mac users if the VAX should crash
or have to be shut down for PM, etc.  PacerPrint requires that the
LaserWriters be connected directly to the VAX with serial connections.
Granted, this solution probably yields the best performance, but you
lose a little flexibility in where you can connect your printers.

As far as overall performance is concerned, Alisa's stuff seems to be a
little slower than Pacer's (all results aren't in, this test isn't
complete) which might be attributed to the way they implement their
system, which appears more flexible.

That's about all I've gotten so far - once AppleShare compatiblity is
available for both systems which should be in the near future (but how
near? :-)  the file servers for both systems will be greatly improved.

I'm interested. In particular, I'd like to get some ideas/help about

photos of our machine and I want to drop them into some documentation
we're doing. How do I get the best results?  What are some of the things
I should be aware of?  Any help will be gratefully received.

Greetings,
          I am looking for a mail system for the Macintosh that can be
interfaced to our mainframe mail system.

The problem I am trying to solve is: We have a number of users who have
moved almost all their work from our mainframe computers to Macintosh
applications, this means that they are using the mainframes infrequently
and thus, are not receiving their e-mail in a timely manner.

What I want to do is build some sort of gateway between the mainframe
mail systems and a Mac based mail system so that these users will be
able to send and receive mail without having to log onto the mainframes.

As we currently run a LaserWriter Spooler from one of our UN*X boxes
(using the CAP software and a K-Box) I'm leaning towards writing some
sort of mail server that sits on a UN*X box and speaks via AppleTalk to
the Mac mail system.

Does anyone out there have any ideas, or can suggest a suitable mail
system that I could use for this application?

Please e-mail your responses to the address given in the signature, I'll
summarise to the net if there is sufficient interest.

Thanks

My Mac Plus carrying case is from a company called ComputerAid. (No
other id is on the case, and I ordered through a distributor.) It cost
about $60-70 and has passed several tests:
    1. It itself is light
    2. It's reinforced cardboard on the sides; lightweight, but fairly
rugged.
    3. It's not an ugly color
    4. It fits perfectly under any airplane seat -- including (get this)
those horrible Stretch 727's where the seat space is virtually nil
(caveat: it fits under the middle or right seats on the right side, and
vice versa, not under the aisle seats.) In other planes there's plenty
of room. Number 4 should be true of any case, but is a definite
consideration for my thousands of miles per year, and Apple Co. itself,
when called, declared itself unaware of whether it would actually fit
under an airplane seat (the Mac Plus that is. True story).

Subject: OpenResFile and high byte
Date: 13 Apr 88 16:47:46 GMT
Organization: School of Education, UC-Berkeley

Recently, there was a discussion on Delphi about OpenResFile(), and the
necessity of clearing the high byte of the pointer you pass to it. The
correct way of doing this is:

do a SysEnvirons(). If you are running on a 512KE or greater, and are
under System 4.1 or greater, then do a StripAddress() system call to
strip off the flags and get a pure address.

If you are on some other configuration, just clear the byte.  This will
help your code keep working when apple goes to a true 32-bit address
environment, or if you want to port to A/UX.

--------- Getting the address of video memory: Remember that a MacII can
have multiple display adapters installed. To find the address of their
screen memeories, you must scan down the list of graphic devices. See
the graphic devices chapter of Inside Macintosh Vol. 5.

Writing directly into video memory will certainly cause you problems:
Stars 1.8 does it, and I have not upgraded it since color quickdraw came
out, so it only works right in 1-bit per pixel mode.  (The fade-to-black
and the drawing of the small stars are done with direct video memory
access.)  I haven't released an up updated version, because there are a
lot of things I want to put in. I may just do a simple bug-fix release
in the interim though.

Subject: custom MDEF vs. MenuKey
Date: 13 Apr 88 21:02:00 GMT
Organization: National Instruments, Austin, TX


     We're working on a program with some custom menus.  (Actually, some
are custom, some are normal.)
     In Inside Mac Volume I, it says "For menus of your own definition,
you may set up the data defining the menu items any way you like..."
That's what we've done.  Our MENU resource data is substantially
different (after the first few standard header bytes) from a regular
MENU.
     If you look at one of the custom MENUs with ResEdit, you get lots
of gibberish.  In particular, the standard MENU template shows that an
"N" appears in the MenuKey equivalent box.  Herein lies the problem.
     We have a situation where "New" (normally cmd-N) is grayed out.
Further down the menu bar is our custom menu.  MenuKey returns the
custom menu's ID if "New" is grayed out.

     The bug is that MenuKey doesn't notice that we have specified a
different menu defproc for that menu, so it looks at our custom data for
a menu key equivalent.  There just happens to be an "N" in that
location, so it decides that that's what we want.
     This does strange things to our program.
     Ideally, there should be another message that can be sent to an
MDEF that can figure out Menu Keys.

     An even worse bug in MenuKey appeared because of this.  The custom
menu I mentioned above is really a hierarchical menu that's one step off
the top-level menus.  (i.e., if you click on the menu bar, you won't see
our custom menu, but if you go down and select the proper menu item,
it'll appear (hierarchically) to the side.)  There are situations where
both "New" and the menu parenting the custom menu are grayed out.
MenuKey still returns the ID of the custom menu.
     This is completely different from using the mouse; if you click on
the grayed out parent of a hierarchical menu, you don't see the child
menu.  It doesn't seem like MenuKey should be able to go any further
past the grayed out parent either.
     Does this mean that if you want to completely disable a
hierarchical menu, you not only have to disable the parent, but you have
to disable all of the children as well?

If you are using MPW, StripAddress is implemented by glue code that
checks for the existence of the trap, and cals it if it exists.
Otherwise it does the stripping itself.  Therefore, you can call
StripAddress regardless of the machine you are running on.

I hope Apple leaves things mostly the way they are. I've been writing
custom menu definition routines for a long time, and I always leave the
standard data structures specifically so I can use all the standard
routines like SetCheckItem() in my custom menus.  It would break a lot
of existing programs if Apple suddenly stopped scanning my menus just
because they have a custom MDEF.

What do y'all think of the idea of building a postscript emulator for
the IISC?  Imagine the following system:

    Mac II
    5 or 8 MB of RAM
    Laser IISC

Since the IISC connects to the Mac via SCSI, it would seem practical to
build the postscript processor on the Mac, downloading bitmaps to the
printer.  Since the retail price differential between the IISC and IINT
is $2000, there would seem to be a pretty tasty niche for a
software-only product.

I suspect that the configuration above would be faster than an NT, and
would only lack networking.

newsletter (Volume 2, #9). In their discussion on ResEdit, ('Stripping
the System", author - Ken Peterson, Portland Mac User Group), they
mention that if you have a Mac+ (or 512E), then you use ResEdit to
delete up to about 85K of unused and unnecessary Mac II/SE system
resources that are obviously not required when one has a Mac+. They
suggest a partial list from 4.1 system file as follows:

    Type  ID   Size Why          Comments
    ____  __   ____ ___________  ________
    cicn  31   906  Mac II only  Special Mac II icon
    DRVR   9  3282  in ROM       .MPP AppleTalk driver
    DRVR  10  2404  in ROM       .ATP AppleTalk driver
    PACK  12  9792  Mac II only  Color Picker
    PTCH 376 12004  Mac II only  Patch for II roms
    snd  all 21471  Mac II only  Startup sounds
    SNTH all  7380  Mac II only  sound synthesizer(?)


My question then is this list still valid?, Has anyone else done this?,
what is the new list (with system 4.2)?, can us Mac+ users still delete
Mac SE & Mac II resources that we obviously don't need in our system
file? How do we now go about deleting these resources? The 85K I can
save on an 800k disk, might give me room for more fonts, applications,
etc. I don't have a hard disk yet. I haven't seem much discussion about
this - probably cause most people have hard disks. Any help would be
appreciated.

I'm writing a DA which will present a modal dialog box to the user.
When the person has clicked the OK button, I want the DA to close.  How
can I get the Desk Manager to close the DA, or how would I go about
closing it myself? --- "You read my mind..."                   Peter
