David Colton, <coltonda@netins.net>
A few of the recent Evangelist postings have mentioned software that has
been around for a while. I would like to mention some software we have
used for awhile and a good experience we had this week with the software
and with the software company.
I work for the maintenance department of a school district and we just
recently upgraded our Quadra 950 to a G3/266. One of the applications we
moved over to the new machine was MacDraft. We've used MacDraft since we
had our first Mac, a IIci (which we still use).
Running on the G3, MacDraft blazes. It launches in about two to three
seconds! When we first saw this, we emailed Microspot and reminded them
what a great product they had and how we appreciated their support of the
Macintosh. We also let them know what their product was like on a G3!
They were kind enough to email back thanking us for using MacDraft.
Well it seems that the school district's technology department received
an old HP plotter many years ago and recently, while cleaning house, they
rediscovered the donation buried in a storeroom. They called and asked if
I wanted the plotter. In a school district, the maintenance department is
often low on the food chain and we get a lot of hand me downs. So, yes I
took the plotter. The first thing I did was call the HP tech support
line. The Mac support department of HP was most helpful and gave me two
names of vendors who could possibly supply a driver for this model of
plotter.
You guessed it, Microspot was one of the vendors. I gave them a call,
they recognized us from our email, I ordered the driver and they
delivered it post haste.
The driver came with a very complete manual with drawings for cable
pin-outs for all sorts of supported plotters. So I made up a cable,
installed the software driver, plugged the plotter into the G3 and about
the same time Bill Gates was plugging in his scanner, I was plotting from
one of the fastest machines around, using some great software thats been
around, to a plotter that had been around.
The driver is called MacPlot Pro and believe me the interface is very,
very Macintosh. When you configure how the different sized and colored
pens are in installed the plotter, a Macintosh desktop appears on the
screen and the process is pure drag and drop.
So when you are sending out your "thank you for supporting Macintosh"
emails, don't forget our friends at Microspot, home of MacDraft and many
other software products for the Mac. At a minimum visit their web site at
<http://microspot.com> And, just to give HP a thank you, the plotter
works great!
I'm not associated with either company, just another satisfied Mac user!

From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com>
Subject: Tidbit - Illuminating Insights Going From Mac to Win95 (Temporarily)
This tidbit is from:
Lethargy <lethargy@usa.net>
I use both a Macintosh Quadra and a Pentium computer at home, however my
parents only use the Macintosh. Recently our AppleVision 1710av monitor
went in for repair and they were forced to use my Pentium for sending and
receiving email. There is at least *some* similarity between the MacOS
and Windows 95 so I figured it wouldn't be too bad... but as I watched
them in action I noticed a couple of things (and they were only using
Eudora Light, not Windows Explorer, mind you):
* My parents constantly pressed the right mouse button instead of the
left. The single button Macintosh mouse encourages you to place only your
index finger on the top of your mouse. On a two-button mouse, this single
finger falls - you guessed it - directly over the right mouse button.
They felt uncomfortable placing two fingers on top of the mouse.
* They were constantly bringing background windows to the foreground. I
eventually realised that they were trying to use the scroll bars! Scroll
bars of background windows in Windows 95 do not dim out or disappear as
they do in the MacOS (imagine that) - only the title bar dims. So they
were constantly clicking the scroll bars of background windows instead of
foreground windows.
* They would inadvertedly press the "Insert" key and whatever they typed
at the cursor would replace what was already there. This confused them
since the Macintosh does not have a "Insert/Replace" mode.
* My mother did not know how to get accent characters and bullets. When I
told her that she had to hold down Alt and type "0149" on the keypad to
get a bullet instead of typing Option-8, and hold down Alt and type
"0233" to get , instead of typing Option-E-e, she was aghast. Of course,
there is always the Character Map program, but the letters are tiny and
finding the special character you're looking for is like playing "Where's
Waldo". Not to mention that the equivalent Key Caps on the Macintosh
gives you a visual representation of the keyboard which helps you to
remember which keys to press the next time.
* They kept pressing Alt-Z instead of Control-Z for Undo. The Alt key is
positioned right where the Command key is on a Macintosh. Also, the
position of the Control key on Windows computers makes you stretch your
fingers more to perform keyboard shortcuts. And now that *all* PC
keyboards come with that handy-dandy Windows key getting in your way,
performing something like Control-Alt-2 is a bigger pain-in-the-wrist
than before. Can you say "Twister"?
Of course I've noticed a couple of things myself:
* There isn't a decent Note Pad for Windows 95. The one that comes with
Windows is just a basic text editor. I want one that lets me keep pages
of information, like a real note pad, and automatically saves the
information when I close it (just like the Macintosh). I did check on the
internet for one, but they were all over 1 megabyte compressed! No wonder
Dell and Gateway are shipping their systems with 6-gigabyte and larger
disk drives.
* There is no keyboard shortcut for creating a new folder as in the
MacOS. Where you would normally press Command-N, you now have to right
click, go to the *bottom* of the pop up menu, click on "New", move the
cursor to the submenu and click on "Folder". Thanks Microsoft.
* There is no keyboard shortcut for getting information about a file or
folder. Also the "Properties" command (equivalent of Get Info) is at the
*bottom* of both the File menu and the pop up menu.
* Renaming a file on the Macintosh is easy - click on the name of an icon
and it highlights it or, highlight an icon and press Return. But in
Windows, you have to highlight the icon first, *then* click on the name
before you can change it. And don't press Enter thinking it'll highlight
the name for you - it'll launch the icon.
* When you choose the "View: Details" command in Windows and "Arrange by
Name" it sticks all the folders at the top alphabetically and all the
files at the bottom alphabetically. As a matter of fact, no matter how
you "Arrange" the window, Windows 95 puts all the folders at the top of
the window.
* Windows has no real provision for storing icon positions. It only
remembers the last few windows that you've moved the icons to absolute
positions within the window. So in Windows you wouldn't want to arrange
your desktop the way lots of Mac users arrange it - with icons along the
edges of the desktop. Because one day you might start up your machine and
find all the icons "Arranged by Name", Windows style, in the left hand
side of the desktop. Also starting up the computer in Safe Mode
effectively destroys all your precious icon locations when next you start
up in Normal Mode. Nothing like that happens when you start a Mac with
extensions off.
* Speaking of which, it's easy to turn individual extensions and control
panels on and off using Extensions Manager, as well as installing and
removing them. In Win95 it's very hard to isolate memory resident
(equivalent of Extensions) software conflicts. You can't disable
individual memory resident programs. However you do get the choice of
starting up with barely nothing (Safe Mode). And pray that your Windows
program comes with an uninstaller. Mac users love to laugh when they hear
of these uninstallers - "You need a program to remove a program? Hahaha!
Good one! What happens when you need to remove the program that removes
the programs? Get another program? Hahaha!"
* Windows has no provision for showing you the total size of the contents
of a folder without getting *each and every* folder's "Properties". Mac
users have the "Calculate folder sizes" option for seeing the size of all
the folders at a glance.
* There is no easy way to get a screenshot in Windows without downloading
a shareware package (example Screen Thief). Other than than you have to
press "Print Screen", go to Paintbrush, create a new full screen document
and press paste. And if you're running in 16 bit colour or higher, you
have to save in 24 bit BMP format, which yields files *bigger* than 1
megabyte. Mac users just press Command-Shift-3. Oh, and did I mention
that full screen full colour Macintosh PICT images are typically 200
kilobytes? I am beginning to see why so many PC's come with Zip drives
standard now.
* When you put a folder into the Recycle Bin, it puts the *individual
files* in there and does not preserve the folder structure. In the
Macintosh the folder structure is preserved so that if we change our mind
we can yank the whole folder out of there. Not so in Windows. Speaking of
the Recycle Bin, if you're not careful setting the Recycle Bin reserved
space, it will start deleting files even before you select "Empty Recycle
Bin". And compared with the Macintosh it takes forever to move files to
the Recycle Bin and forever to delete them.
* The Control-F keyboard in Windows only works if you have a Windows
Explorer window open. That is, if you're on the desktop and feel like
looking for a file, you *have* to use the Start menu: Find files or
folders command. Also the Find command is very inefficient. My Macintosh
Quadra is supposedly 10 times slower than this Pentium yet it finds files
by name on multiple volumes in 2 - 4 seconds. By contrast the Pentium
machine takes over 10 seconds to do a similar search on a *single*
volume. Even after caching the directory structure in RAM, subsequent
searches take over 5 seconds. I can't wait to see Apple's V-Twin Find
file in operation.
* The Taskbar is a terrible implementation... really. Once you have more
than 5 windows open you can't see the name of the buttons. It forces you
to stretch the Taskbar upwards or downwards, eating up screen real
estate, or click on each of the buttons at random until you find the
window you're looking for. Plus, a program like Netscape or Internet
Explorer puts a button on the taskbar for each and every "document" it
opens. So if you have 4 Netscape windows open, that's 4 buttons on the
taskbar. This is unlike the MacOS application menu which only lists the
programs - you then select whatever "document" you want from the Window
menu.
* Microsoft really messed up when they decided to program the Windows
Registry. It isn't easy to remove every trace of a program in the
registry the same way Mac users chunk a program's preferences into the
Trash. Also I have already damaged my entire registry once when the RAM I
installed turned out to be defective. And, I have heard many other
stories about other Windows users who had to reinstall Windows 95 and
every single program when their registry went bye bye.
* And, last but not least, Apple has, in my opinion, the best
Text-to-Speech software out there. Also has very good Speech Recognition.
Windows 95 does not come with either one.
By the way I have found that the fastest way to shut up a stubborn
ignorant Windows user is to turn on the Macintosh, say "Computer: Hello!"
and the computer says "Hello, Welcome to Macintosh" right back at me.
Then I turn on the video camera and say "Computer: open Video Monitor"
and focus the video camera on the stubborn Windows user's face. Then I
say "Computer: Copy, open Word, Computer: Paste, Computer: Print" <big
grin> Of course, I only then drop the big bombshell and tell them that
it's a 5 year old Macintosh AV machine - then I say "Computer, Dial 911"
- - nah, just kidding on that last part ;-)

sa diska JpegView tako da slike pregledam iz GraphicConverter-a. E, sad,
slike koje skidam sa Interneta više nemaju ikonu a sve zbog toga što i
je Creator i dalje JFIF (a za GC je GKON). U Internet Preferenc-u sam
namestio za slike GC ali ništa. Rebildovao sam desktop i opet ništa.
Jel to uopšte može da se izvede?

Mouseless Shutdown
Level: Power User
Here's the unlikely scenario: You have a Mac that doesn't support
on/off via the keyboard's Power key, your mouse suddenly stops
working, and you want to perform a safe and sane shutdown (meaning
you don't want to simply turn the Mac off or pull the plug). Here are
two ways out:
1. Create an AppleScript with this script:
tell application "Finder"
activate
shut down
end tell
Name it "Shut Down Already!" and save it as an Application. Now tuck
it away somewhere on your hard drive for the day when your mouse dies
or comes unplugged -- remember, it is possible to damage some Macs by
plugging something into the ADP port while the computer is running.
Type Command-F to bring up the Find Command and type "Shut Down
Already!" into the Find field. If more than one file appears in the
Items Found dialog box, use the arrow keys to navigate to your
AppleScript. Now type Command-O and watch in wonder as your Mac shuts
down.
2. If you have a copy of the Shutdown doodad that appears in the
Apple menu, forget about the AppleScript. Just follow the same Find
File procedure as detailed above and instead search for Shutdown.

Getting OS 8 in Tune
Level: Intermediate
Mac OS 8 is pretty cool but it still lacks such features as command
key equivalents for emptying the trash and changing views. Thanks to
Jerry Du's shareware utility, 8Tuner, you can create just such menu
commands and do a whole lot more in OS 8.
In addition to allowing you to add a keyboard command to many of the
Finder's menu commands -- I added to Command-T to the Empty Trash
command and Command-L to List view, for example -- you can add to the
list of available system fonts in the Appearances control panel. You
can also change the appearance of Apple's folders, alert icons, and
the venerable Trash icon.

Redraw the Desktop
Level: Intermediate
Not all applications are good desktop citizens. On occasion you'll
quit or switch out of an application and find that your Mac displays
an odd collection of colors, or pieces of the desktop appear to be
missing. Here's an easy way to force the Mac desktop to redraw.
If your Control Strip is active, select a different color
depth-switch from Thousands of Colors to 256 Colors, for example. Go
ahead and switch it back to the original setting once you've made the
initial switch. The purpose is to redraw the desktop, not to force
you to use more or less colors.
If you're Control Strip-less, just open the Monitors- or Monitors &
Sound control panel and make the switch there.
You could also change your monitor's resolution to accomplish this,
but your icons may be displaced in the process.

Printer Sharing
Level: Power User
During a recent online conference a reader asked how she might use
her LocalTalk laser printer with her Ethernet-networked Macs without
having to purchase a LocalTalk to Ethernet conversion box. I told her
about the setup I use at home:
Simply install the LaserWriter Bridge control panel (which, as
always, you can find at http://www.macdownload.com) into the Mac that
has the printer attached to it.
Restart the Mac with LaserWriter Bridge installed, open the
LaserWriter Bridge control panel, and turn it on.
Be sure that the correct printer driver is installed on each of the
networked Macs. In the Chooser of each networked Mac, select the
laser printer's driver and close the Chooser. You should now be able
to print to the laser printer from any machine on your network.

A must read article, "Is your computer millennium ready? Find out" By
Scott Gerlach <http://biz.yahoo.com/finance/980507/is_your_co_1.html>. It
talks about the year 2000, and here is what it says about the Mac.
"Apple (AAPL - news) Macintoshes and compatibles have been ready for 2000
since their genesis, in 1984. Interestingly enough, however, current Macs
will have trouble in the year 29940 -- keep that in mind if your business
plans extend 28,000 years or so."
Shame on Apple.
You would think that they would have had the foresight to plan for the
year 29941

Apple PR
Apple Computer, Inc. today announced that, since its March 30
introduction, over one million Macintosh and Windows users are now using
QuickTime 3 or QuickTime 3 Pro. Windows users accounted for more than two
thirds of the total QuickTime downloads from Apple's website
(www.apple.com/quicktime), demonstrating QuickTime's unique
multi-platform appeal for capturing, editing and playing back a wide
variety of digital video and audio content.
QuickTime: The Standard for Digital Video and New Media Publishing First
released in 1991, QuickTime is the standard for digital media creation
and publishing. Its latest release, QuickTime 3, combines advanced
digital video streaming technologies with major breakthroughs in
ease-of-use.
QuickTime is the only digital media technology platform capable of
integrating 3D animation, real-time special effects, virtual reality and
streaming video and audio across all major personal computer platforms.
QuickTime currently supports over 35 popular media file formats,
including most major video, still image, audio, animation and MIDI
formats. QuickTime is the winner of numerous industry awards and
QuickTime's file format has been chosen as the starting point for the
International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) MPEG-4 Intermedia
specification.
A free version of QuickTime 3 is available for download at
www.apple.com/quicktime/. For just $29.99, users can then purchase a
special code that will open the advanced capabilities of QuickTime 3 Pro
from www.apple.com/quicktime/, or by calling 888-295-0648 toll-free from
the U.S. and Canada. Volume account purchases can be made by calling
800-747-7483 toll-free from the U.S., or 800-263-3394 toll-free from
Canada. Apple expects localized language versions of QuickTime 3 to be
available soon for download.
mac.3400madamov,
This announcement is from:
Apple PR
At the Company's annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple
Computer, Inc. today outlined its operating system software strategy. The
strategy includes continuing to enhance Apple's popular Mac OS 8 in
releases scheduled for the Fall of 1998 and 1999. In addition, Apple
announced Mac OS X (ten), a new advanced version of the Mac OS which will
be available to developers in early 1999 and ship in the Fall of 1999.
Mac OS X will feature preemptive multitasking, memory protection and
advanced virtual memory, and will be fully optimized for Apple's PowerPC
G3 based computers.
"Mac developers have created over 12,000 software applications for the 25
million Macintosh customers worldwide," said Steve Jobs, Apple's Interim
CEO. "Our software strategy builds on this incredible foundation, and
adds advanced features that will give us the foundation to continue to
stay ahead in the coming decade."
Mac OS Software Strategy
Mac OS X will be based on a subset of the Macintosh application
programming interfaces (APIs) that developers have been using for years
to create Macintosh applications. With just a few weeks of work,
developers can "tune-up" their applications to deliver new versions using
the advanced features of Mac OS X, including protected memory, advanced
virtual memory and preemptive multitasking. Apple also expects almost all
current Macintosh applications to run unaltered on Mac OS X without a
"tune-up" (and without the advanced features), ensuring a smooth
transition to the operating system for both developers and customers.
Apple is paving the path to Mac OS X with two important operating system
software releases scheduled for 1998--Mac OS 8.5 and Rhapsody.
Mac OS 8.5--code named Allegro--advances Internet integration on the Mac
with new find and browsing capabilities and even easier Internet set up.
Mac OS 8.5 will also include new features for power users, such as fast
file transfer optimized for 100 MBps Ethernet and a full PowerPC
implementation of AppleScript. As well as enhancing existing Apple
technologies, Mac OS 8.5 introduces new services for developers that will
allow them to begin development for Mac OS X.
Later this year Apple will ship the first customer release of Rhapsody, a
new operating system that Apple is providing as a server platform for
publishing and Internet solutions. Rhapsody contains technologies key to
Mac OS X, including a microkernel-based core OS and an advanced software
development environment.
Developers already familiar with Apple's plans are excited by an
operating system strategy that preserves their investment in Mac OS
development while delivering advanced capabilities:
"We've been hoping and waiting for this strategy for over three years,"
said Norm Meyrowitz, President, Macromedia Products. "This is absolutely
the right way to move Mac OS forward. It will be a pleasure to quickly
move Macromedia's products to Mac OS X."
"Apple has responded to customer concerns with an OS strategy that
preserves the industry's investment in Mac OS while at the same time
providing increased stability and performance," said Ben Waldman, general
manager of the Macintosh Business Unit at Microsoft. "Microsoft is
looking forward to continued collaboration with Apple on products that
meet the needs of our mutual customers."

Download to the Desktop

Netscape Navigator and Communicator download files to your desktop by
default. Let's suppose you change that location by choosing a new one
in either Navigator's General -> Applications tab or Communicator's
Applications heading (found by following Edit -> Preferences ->
Navigator -> Applications). Let's continue to suppose that you
preferred downloading to the desktop. Yet try as you might, you can't
select the desktop again. Here's how to do just that:
When the Download Location dialog box appears, click the Desktop

NoSTalgia, an AtariST emulator for the Apple Macintosh
By Philippe Gerin (ph.gerin@skynet.be).
WWW: http://users.skynet.be/sky39147/
Special thanks to:
Bernd Schmidt for certain UAE routines.
Aaron Giles for the sound support libraries.
Richard Banister for his advice and part of the interface code.
Lewin A.R.W. Edwards for the direct drawing routines.
FrÄdÄric Gidouin for valuable technical information.
FranŹois Menu and Jens Behmk for AtariST documentation.
Arnaud Blanchard for certain programming tricks.
Shiva Thomas for the icon.
What is it ?
NoSTalgia is an AtariST emulator for Macintosh. You can use it to run
your AtariST software on your Macintosh.
How to use it ?
The emulator needs a copy of the AtariST ROM to function. An Atari
utility (tosdump.prg) will enable you to transfer the ROM contents to
a MS-DOS 720Kb floppy-disk. The file needs to be renamed TOS.IMG and
placed in the same folder as NoSTalgia in order to be recognized by
the emulator.
TOS 1.x and 2.x can be used with this release of the emulator. TOS 1.0
is recommended for running games. Original AtariST floppy-disks
cannot be read directly by the Macintosh. 'Dust' (by Marcus Philips)
is able to build disk images which can be used by NoSTalgia.
The emulator automatically inserts the disk images named 'disk1.st'
and 'disk2.st' when you run it.
The emulator will boot on the hard drive (C:) if no disk-image is inserted in
drive A:
The joysticks are activated with the Caps-Lock key:
- Joystick 1: fire=ctrl, directions = kolm
- Joystick 2: fire=option, directions = gyjh
The right button of the ST mouse is emulated by apple-clicking and the
help key by F12.
Minimum configuration:
- Power Macintosh,
- 4.5 Mb free RAM,
- 256-color display.
The following functions are supported:
-MC68000,
-ST Ram from 512Kb to 4Mb.
-Video shifter (320*200, 640*200 et 640*400),
-MFP (Timer a-d),
-ACIAs,
-IKBD: keyboard, mouse and 2 joysticks,
-All interrupts with priorities,
-FDC supporting .ST and .MSA format disk images,
-Rasters,
-Blitter,
-Hard Disk Drive in DiskCopy format (TOS 1.4 needed),
-RTC.
The following is not emulated:
-Serial port,
-Parallel port,
-Midi.
What's new in version 0.4:
- Disk image in MS-DOS format as startup disk. The hard disk file
must be 'HDD' and be located in the same folder as NoSTalgia. The
hard disk driver 'cart.img' is the image of an ST cartridge and must
be in the same folder as well.
- The hard disk can be mounted on the Macintosh desktop if PC Exchange
is installed.
WARNING ! Using version 2.2 of PC Exchange (coming with MacOS 8.1) to
transfer files to the Atari hard disk can seriously damage its root
directory. It is best to use an earlier version (like 2.05).
- Emulation of the MegaST Blitter.
- Support for TOS 1.62 and 2.x but not of STE hardware.
- Memory between 512kb and 4Mb depending on memory allocated to NoSTalgia.
- Better support for US and French keyboards.
- Sound can be switched on/off without restarting the emulator.
- A few memory addressing bugs fixed.
- New drawing routines.
- Hard reset.
- Better support of Apple Events.
Known bugs:
- Some sampled sounds are not played.
- It may be necessary to restart the ST after having activated the sound.
- Rasters still unstable.
Software status:
This application is freeware, but feel free to send something in order to
encourage me to keep development going. For example:
- Technical docs,
- A postcard,
- A bottle of wine or beer.
- $10.
The software can be freely duplicated and distributed provided that the
present 'readme' file is included. If you wish to distribute this
software on CD-ROM, please contact me first so I can send you the latest
version of NoSTalgia.
The hard disk driver ('hdd.prg' and 'cart.img') is shareware: if you use it,
please send me $10.

Startovao sam JetSetWilly-a sa njegove preload diskete i opet ništa.
Ni levo ni desno al uspem da poskočim ponekad kad pritisnem po 5-6
tastera zajedno. OK, ima zvuk, ima blitter, i može da se učita TOS

Onako uzgred: jesi li uspeo da pokreneš neku igricu pod emulatorom?
Ja nađoh nekih 5-6 s*anja koja rade, uglavnom one koje su u prozoru i koje su
čist GEM, uz to i shareware, većinom neke board igre.
Kako ti stojiš sa tim stvarima? Opiši nam svoja iskustva... ;)
I drugo: jesi li uspeo da pokreneš emulator bez MagiX-a? Cenim da kada bi to
uspelo, da se tigne samo TOS, da bi šanse na uspeh bile znatno veće. Naravno,
one prljave i kompresovane raznim divljim pakerima ne bi šljakale, ali neke
koje mogu da se startuju sa harda, pogotovo ako rade na TT-u (o ovakvim
igricama bi i Kermit mogao da napiše nešto, ako se seća šta šljaka na TT-a sa
harda, i, naravno, ako prati ovu conf).

Mi smo toliki navikli da ne plaćamo softver pa zaboravljaš da je ovde reč o
freeware programu. Ako svako od nas pošalje autoru po $10, on će softver
usavršiti, a time će naterati one koji pišu MagiC Mac da se potrude i naprave
bolji softver za manje pare.

neku reč tipa (da izvini moderator) usro sam se. Pre njega sam imao verziju

Rade (kao i ranije) svi Photoshop-ovi plugin-ovi, ali manipulacije sa
paletama, brojem boja, redukcija boja... neviđeno! Ono u čemu sam ja lično
našao primenu u svemu tome je priprema slika za Internet, dakle na ekransku
rezoluciju, podešavanje palete, a posebna priča su konverzije u 256 boja (8
bita). Ne znam kako i zašto, ali gif-ovi su manji nego ikada?!? Za izradu

MIDI to AIFF to snd
Level: Intermediate
Here's a cool trick to try with QuickTime Pro or QuickTime 2.5:
Grab hold of a MIDI file -- if you're not a musician you can find
MIDI files online as well as in some games -- and import it into
MoviePlayer Pro or MoviePlayer 2.5. Choose Export from the Edit menu
and then select the "Music to AIFF" option from the "Export File As"
pull-down menu. The MIDI file will now be transformed into a digital
audio file, using the sounds contained in QuickTime Musical
Instruments. You could stop here but let's go a couple of steps
farther.
Take the resulting AIFF file, open it in Movie Player, and again
select Export. This time choose "Sound to System 7 Sound" from the
"Export File As" pull-down menu. The file will now be saved as a
self-playing System 7 sound.
Why bother? Because this file is self-playing you can place it in the
Startup Items and/or Shutdown Items folder and listen to it as your
Mac starts up and shuts down.
A couple of notes:
These files will sound much better with QuickTime 3.0 thanks to the
improved sound set found within QT 3's QuickTime Musical Instruments.
You can compress these files using the sound codecs found in
QuickTime.

Edit the Seemingly Uneditable
Level: Intermediate
Many applications and documents you download ship with a Read Me file
that bears the newspaper icon. Cute as this icon may be it presents a
problem -- because that document was saved in Read Only format, you
can't select its text. This can be a real bother when you just want
to snip a small portion out of it for later reference. There is a
simple trick for making these documents editable, however. Here it
is:
With a program that allows you to edit file type and creator codes,
change the file's file type from ttro to TEXT. The file will now be
editable. I use Mitch Jones' wonderful $20 shareware utility, Snitch,
to pull this trick, but you can also do it with ResEdit, FileTyper,
File Buddy, and a number of other shareware and freeware utilities.

Volim konstruktivne predloge, ali... Ja lično jesam spreman da

Making AppleTalk Inactive
Level: Intermediate
Under Open Transport, switching off AppleTalk isn't as easy as it
once was -- checking the Inactive option in the Chooser can result in
error messages. Here's Apple's recommended method for turning off
AppleTalk:
Open the AppleTalk control panel and select User Mode from the Edit
menu. Choose the Advanced or Administrator option in the resulting
dialog box and click OK. Click the Options button, select the Make
AppleTalk: Inactive option, again click OK, close the AppleTalk
control panel, and save your changes. To turn AppleTalk back on,
follow the same procedure but this time choose Make AppleTalk:
Active.

The recently discovered AutoStart 9805 worm has opened a can of

utilities. Also this week, Apple de-authorizes dealers, Tara
Calishain explains how to find images on the Web, and Adam
explores what makes a good Web browser (along with what makes
browsers so hard to evaluate). Finally, Connectix has released a
minor Virtual PC update plus an open RAM Doubler beta to address
conflicts with Microsoft Office 98.

Subject: Tidbit - Macs Underground at Comdex
Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better
This tidbit is from:
Scott Mckim, <smckim@hollywoodreporter.com>
In a recent e-mail discussion, a Unix programmer friend of mine made an
interesting observation about just how prevalent Macs really are:
"The Mac's benefits are an open secret in the industry. One of the
dirtier little secrets at Comdex this year was just how many *Macs* were
there. They weren't really visible... they were hidden behind the
curtains. Vendors were using Macs running Office 98 to do their
Powerpoint presentations, because they didn't trust PCs to be up and
running and stable on such short notice. They had to hide it all behind
the curtains, because they were pushing their PC software..."

Picking Eudora's Browser
Level: Intermediate
Recent versions of Qualcomm's Eudora email client support "live"
internet links -- when someone includes a URL in an email message you
can simply double-click that address to launch your browser and be
swept away to that site. But suppose you're tired of your old browser
and would like to see how Eudora fares with a different browser.
Here's how to make that quick switch:
Hold down the Option key while double-clicking the URL. Instead of
opening the default browser, Eudora pops up a dialog box that asks you
to select an http application. If you'd like the browser you've chosen
to always launch when you double-click a link, check the Always Use
This Application checkbox. By the way, this trick works for any active
link including ftp links.

What secrets lurk inside the heart of your Mac? Are you too frightened to
look? I didn't think so.
Introducing Apple Easter Eggs, a web site devoted to the archival of
secrets--past, present, and future--stuffed inside of your Macintosh by
Apple engineers. Easter eggs include jokes, credit screens, or games that
are meant to give Apple's engineers a little fame, also adding a personal
touch to the best computer on earth. Find out what AppleScript has to do
with Ween's best-selling album and where the Blue Meanies hide in your
system. At Apple Easter Eggs, you will find over 250 Easter eggs clearly
explained with as much background as possible.
Apple Easter Eggs has been around for a while, but the ads-free web site
has only recently been redesigned and expanded to cover the latest easter
eggs as well as secrets Apple has planned for the next upgrade to its
operating system, code-named Allegro. Apple Easter Eggs has been
recognized by major industry sources including C/Net, MacWorld, MacWeek,
and MacAddict.

Mislim da bi nam svima mogla koristiti jedna prava Macintosh mail lista
kao dodatna mogucnost za medjusobnu komunikaciju. Koristi bi bile
visestruke, u rasponu od najprostije razmene iskustava do
egzistencijalnijih, tj. materijalnih razloga. Nadam se da se slazete sa
mnom.
Odavno sam pomisljao da pokrenem listu za jugoslovenske korisnika
MacOS-a, ali do pre mesec-dva nisam imao na cemu (nije mi se svidjala
ideja da je "vozi" Majordomo na Linuxu).
Ovo je prva, a ujedno mozda i jedna od poslednjih poruka na ovoj
mail-listi. Zavisi od vas. Lista je trenutno u probnom i private statusu,
cim cujem vase komentare i predloge, te ako ne budu pogubni - idemo sa
njom u javnost.
Imam spreman profesionalni ListStarSMTP 1.2 listserver - ali trenutno
nemam vremena za njegove komplikacije. Macjordomo 1.10b je nepouzdan. Za
odlicni LetterRip 3.01 nemam password, a ne svidja mi se da ga
reinstaliram svakog 1. u mesecu. Zato koristim proslogodisnju verziju
LetterRipa.
Server je u 24/7 statusu, G3/266MT/6Gb sa 128Mb RAM, na njemu je petnicki
Web (WebStar3, FileMaker4, NetCloak 2.53, NetForms 2.52, Interaction2,
PageSentry 2.5, Rumpus Pro 1.1.1, Hotline server i SiteCam sa
ColorQuickCam).
Server je povezan sa TCP/IP i brzim Eternetom na Linux/Win intranet od
oko 50 masina. Cekaju se monitori pa da se povezu i cetiri Apple 7300/180
masine.
Mail je na UUCP razmeni i ide preko ho.coma i rstel.neta nekoliko puta
dnevno. Veza sa Internetom je satelitska (512Kb), ali na zalost -
sporadicna (7 sati dnevno) i jednosmerna.
Ocekujem vase misljenje.
Ako imate bilo kakve probleme sa listom, onda zahteve listprocesoru
nemojte slati na adresu iz reply-to ili ostatka headera ove poruke, vec
na ovu adresu: listserver@ppc.psc.ac.yu
Prihvatice sledece naredbe (idu u subject ili body):

Top Secret
Level: Beginner
With the release of version 2.0, MicroMat has updated its
troubleshooting utility TechTool Pro to include disk-repair
capabilities. But this isn't the only impressive update in the
program's latest release.
You may recall that the original version of TechTool Pro had an
amusing Easter egg that was triggered by typing the word "secret" in
the Keyboard test area. This egg has been dropped and replaced by
another that's triggered in a similar fashion. Navigate to TechTool
Pro 2.0's Keyboard tab, click Begin to start the keyboard test, and
type "Top Secret" (without the quotes, if you please). Voila, a brand
new egg for your amusement!

Narrow Your Search
Level: Intermediate
In a recent online article, my editor and all-around nice guy, Philip
Dyer, mentioned this handy shortcut for finding exact phrase matches
with an Internet search engine. Instead of bothering to click the
Options button that eventually leads you to another button that allows
you to search by exact phrase, simply enclose your search phrase in
quotes in the search engine's Search field.
For example, navigate to any old search engine (Yahoo, HotBot,
AltaVista, whatever) and enter a phrase such as "Iron Chef TV" to see
a list of pages specifically devoted to Japan's American
Gladiator-meets-Galloping Gourmet television classic. Without the
quotes you're likely to get hundreds of thousands of hits that list
each individual instance of "iron," "chef," and/or "TV."
For added fun, place a plus sign in front of words (+iron +chef +TV)
to return all documents that use all of those words in any order.

G3, 8.1, LocalTalk Printers, and You
Intermediate
If you're using a G3, running Mac OS 8.1, and your printer is
connected via LocalTalk, you may be having problems. Specifically, the
printer's icon fails to appear in the Chooser.
Apple has identified the LocalTalkPCI extension as the likely cause
for your troubles. If you have this problem (or find that your
StyleWriter loses its connection with a similar setup) disable the
LocalTalkPCI extension by dragging it out of the Extensions folder or
turning it off in the Extensions Manager. If luck is on your side, the
printer's icon will return to its rightful place in the Chooser.

I gotta brag about this to someone.
I was digging around an engineering file archive I wrote off in 1989--two
years after I got the Mac Plus I used to write the report. I extracted
the sketches I needed, but I'd done them with the paint module of
SuperPaint 2.0. Remember SuperPaint? If not just drag a copy onto your
hard disk, double-click on a SuperPaint document and take a look. My 9
year old sketch done on a long gone 11 year old Mac Plus boots without a
hiccup from 1989 vintage software running under MacOS 8.0 on my Power
Computing PTP250. Report came up clean as though I'd archived it
yesterday. If I'd bought that cheap 286 machine I was thinking about at
the time, my report would have been as inaccessible as the far side of

We have been using macs at the Malden Public Library since 1984...our
MacPlus and Mac SE still soldier on for specific tasks to this day. In
1996 we opened a new addition and were required to purchase pc's for our
shared computer system which would be using Windows....at the same time
we bought 2 powermac 7200/90's for office/graphics work.
Every one of the pc's have been back to the manufacturer for replacement
parts or troubleshooting...it became so disruptive on our main
information desk that we 'stole' a powermac from the office and installed
in on the information desk. That was two months ago. We had to 'retrain'
our librarians for the mac o/s which took about 20 minutes, but they
missed the task bar. We purchased GOMAC for the powermac and now they
have no confusion going from the mac to windows. We now have a secure
workstation. Incidentally, not one of our macs have seen a technician for
repair or anything else. Now that is a track record!

Adding QuickTime Material
Power User
QuickTime Pro's Movie Player 3.0 has hidden powers that are
unexplained in the accompanying documentation. For example, do you
know how to add tracks to a QuickTime movie? I thought not. Here's
how:
Grab some kind of QuickTime friendly data (text, MIDI, sound, video,
etc.) and copy that data into the Clipboard. Now open a new or
existing movie, hold down the Option key, and select the Edit menu.
You'll notice that the Paste command has changed to Add. Just move the
movie's control slider to where you'd like the new data placed and
select Add from the Edit menu. A new track is created and your data's
firmly in place.

Pa mozda moze da se proda nekom pisijashu kome treba da nabudzi 'kantu'.
Cena za 2*16mb memorije je maximalno 70DEM (i to je mnogo). 32Mb DIMM za
'kante' je oko 75DEM, ali su EDO i 10ns, pa to nece uci u Mac-a.

Jel probao neko yu-sifikaciju by madamov na sistemu 8?
Ekranski prikaz Geneva 12 i 9 kao i Monaco 9 je ok, ali Chicago i novi
Charcoal ne funkcionišu... Verovatno je ovaj novi sjebao i Chicago. Ono što je
zanimljivo je da su u oba fonta (kako kaže ResEdit) svi yu karakteri na
potrebnim mestima, ali se ipak ne vide, što navodi na (ispravan?) zaključak da
treba još malko doterati ono u rom-u.
Miki?

Da, DIMM, ali meni treba SIMM.

Što bi memoriju za 6100 uzimao od GlobeNet-a, tj. što bi 72-pinske SIMM-ove
kupovao od njih kada možeš bilo koji 72-pinski SIMM da staviš u 6100. Dakle, i
one iz PC-a.

Pazi, ako odgovorno tvrdiš da mogu EDO memorije (one su iz pc-a)
onda idem da ih kupim. Probao bih ja ali nemam od koga da ih pozajmim. :(
mac.3465madamov,

Nisam probao, kad budem probao javiću. Inače, na ovde pominjanoj mailing listi
YU Mac korisnika (na koju pojedinci neće da se pretplate B)) Mile Perić je
pominjao neko ultimate rešenje za Rusifikaciju i dao mi dve adrese momaka koji
su to obavili, čak mi je i poslao fajl. Koliko sam shvatio, stvar je freeware
pa ću je i uplaodovati čim uzmognem. Stvar je odlična, i nije reč o onom
Dialectu koji si mi slao da pogledam. Čim nađem nešto više vremena,
kontaktiraću ih kako bi nam nekako pomogli.
> Ekranski prikaz Geneva 12 i 9 kao i Monaco 9 je ok, ali Chicago i novi

Pretpostavljam da si Charcoal sam dorađivao YU slovima, jer ja to nisam radio
u onom fajlu koji visi negde po konferencijima. Što se Chicagoa tiče, morao
bih da vidim šta se događa.

Što nas navodi na zaključak da bi trebalo nekako doći do Croatian Mac OS-a 8
kako bi provalili u čemu je fora.

Moze i to da se nadje, a cena je oko 80 DEM.

Ako misliš na SIMM od 32 Mb, i ako znaš nekoga ko to ima i ko to prodaje,
javi, pošto sam i ja zainteresovan za kupovinu istog. Naravno, uz test kako to
radi na Mac-u.

Za 6100 ne mogu da tvrdim, nisam probao, ali evo ga EDO 32 MB SIMM u LC 475
mašini ovde u firmi i radi već godinu dana bez problema. A šta može da se
pokvari ako probaš? Sprži SIMM ili nešto drugo?
mac.3469ljubisha,
-> #3468, madamov>pokvari ako probaš? Sprži SIMM ili nešto drugo?
Nemam od koga da uzmem da probam a proba bi bila obavezna jer bih
u suprotnom bacio 160 maraka (tj. morao bih posle ja da prodajem SIMMove).
Sve me plaši jedna stvar a to je refresh. Po svemu izgleda da je samo to
problem.
mac.3470pips,

Evo sad jedno glupo:
Da li simm od 32 EDO koji radi PC-u moze na Mac ?
pozdrav
mac.3471askripka,
-> #3470, pips=- Da li simm od 32 EDO koji radi PC-u moze na Mac ?
Teorija kaže sledeća: Može SIMM (nebitno da li je baš 32 Mb) koji nije EDO.
Naravno, memorija treba da bude normalna, što će reći NE divlja, jer (po
iskustvu koje ja imam) je Mac osetljiviji na lošu memoriju.
Za EDO ne postoji bilo šta dokumentovano, dakle treba rizikovati i probati (ko
želi da se igra).
Ono zbog čega ljubisha i ja tražimo baš od po 32 Mb je to što imamo mali broj
podnožja za SIMM-ove u našim mašinama.
mac.3472pips,
-> #3471, askripkaJa imam neku od 32 EDO pa reko ako je neko zainteresovan neka proba
pa ako mu odgovara njegova je za 70. :)
pozdrav
p.s. znam da ovo nisu mali oglasi nego zelim samo da pomognem :)

With QuickTime 3.0 and the accompanying QuickTime Plug-In 2.0 we know
that you can now view QuickTime VR movies on the Web. But did you also
know that you can see these movies up close and personal? To do so,
click on the QuickTime VR movie and use the Shift key to zoom in and
the Control key to zoom out.

mac.3474jalex,
Imam jedan problem :(
Uzeo sam pre dva dana zip drive (externi) SCSI i prikljucio ga
na PM 4400.Medjutim ovaj ne moze nikako da ga prepozna.To mi je
jedini SCSI uredjaj posto je disk IDE.Cini mi se da je sve dobro
podeseno,postavljen terminator,dodeljen mu je ID broj 5 (posto je
komp na 7)...
Ako neko ima neku ideju nek vice.
thanx
mac.3475ljubisha,
-> #3474, jalex>Ako neko ima neku ideju nek vice.
Ovaj, a jel on uopšte radi? Jel si ga probao na nekoj drugoj mašini?
mac.3476ljubisha,
Prvo (nezgodnije) pitanje:TectTool 1.1.7 prijavljuje da mi je
mašina napravljena 07/10/1996 i da je radila samo 3539 sati. Zapovao sam
PRAM iz njega pa čak i za vreme boot-a ali ništa. :( Baterija ili nešto
drugo? A i gde se čuva vreme i datum? Sat mi je tačan i koliko se sećam
nisam ga štelovao već godinu dana.
Drugo: jel probao neko QT 3-ku? Nisam planirao da ga skidam ali sam
ga dobio na cd-u. Sve one najave su lepe ali ipak je iskustvo u radu još
lepše.

Ja sam probao. Ja se, za razliku od nekih, ne libim da instaliram pa da
pogledam kako šta radi... ;)
Dakle, imao sam ga par dana pa sam ga ubio (vratio 2.5) jer, iako je
'kompatibilnost garantovana' brlja neke instrumente na midi fajlovima, a pošto
sam u to vreme nešto čačkao oko midija, nisam mnogo razmišljao.
mac.3478madamov,
-> #3474, jalex> Ako neko ima neku ideju nek vice.
Prvo osnovna pitanja: jel' se vidi kao uređaj iz HDT-a ili nekog SCSI
utilitijna? Ako je odgovor potvrdan, onda je problem u drajveru, a ako ga ne
vidi nda imaš hardverski problem.

Nešto drugo. Kada si prvi put resetovao PRAM originalna informacija se
resetovala i krenula da broji sate od nule. Verovatno se upiše datum koji je
tada bio aktuelan na mašini. Opcija za snimanje sadržaja PRAM-a iz TechTool-a
ume da sačuva ovu informaciju.

Too Much Assistance
Intermediate
I understand that the newest Microsoft Word is just trying to be
helpful, but some of its help I can do without. For example, I don't
care to have URLs turned into active links after I type them, nor do I
want numbered lists automatically formatted for me, and finally, I'm
tired of that cute little animated Mac telling me that if I save
something in the Word 5.1 format it will lose some of its groovy new
formatting. Hey buddy, I SELECTED THE SAVE AS WORD 5.1 OPTION IN THE
SAVE TAB OF THE PREFERENCES DIALOG BOX FOR A REASON! GET OFF MY BACK!
Oh, sorry. Anyway, here are the various fixes:
The key to turning off automatic link and numbered lists formatting is
the AutoFormat command found in the Format menu. To kill the automatic
hyperlinks, uncheck the "Internet paths with hyperlinks" option in the
AutoFormat As You Type tab. In this same tab, turn off the Automatic
Bulleted Lists option to keep numbered lists from auto formatting.
To end that nagging save reminder I'm afraid you have to kill the
messenger. That's right, open the Microsoft Office 98 folder, open the
Office folder, and then open the Assistants folder. Drag every file
out of this folder and place those unwanted assistants in a safe place
in case you want them back some day. Now when you save a document with
the Save as Word 5.1 option checked, Word will do exactly as you ask
without any outside interference-at least the first time you save. On
the second save Word continues to nag you about losing formatting and
unfortunately removing the assistants does nothing to resolve this
problem.
