Power supply question ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri 17 May 85 15:47:48-PDT From: John Mark Agosta Subject: Info-Mac distribution on tape Readers: This weekend I plan to dump the entire current info-mac directory to tape, so that it may be available for purchase. I will post ordering instructions when it is; they will be essentially the same as for the Sumacc tape distribution. Would you please check over the contents of file 00dir if you have any comments or corrections to the entries and descriptions it contains. Thanks -jma ------------------------------ Date: Thu 16 May 85 15:36:11-PDT From: Irvin Lustig Subject: Problems with new Imagewriter I experimented with creating an entire 0-width version of the Princeton Math font, which would allow one to do superscripting over subscripting. This technique worked fine with MacWrite 2.2 and early versions of the finder. When I moved to MacWrite 4.5 with the new Finder 4.1 and new Imagewriter, things looked fine on the screen, but did not print correctly. After some file moving, I discovered that the new Imagewriter resource file is the culprit. To reproduce the problem, you can use the Princeton Math font alone. Type the following sequence: x -H -\ -L -\ This will work o.k. with the old Imagewriter, but not the new one. It should look like an x with 2 bars next to it. The 0-width font that I created has numbers that take the place of the bars in the example above, but I described the above example to enable others to reproduce the problem. Any comments? -Irvin Lustig ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 May 85 10:27:28 pdt From: Larry Rosenstein Subject: MacDraw & Missing Imagewriter The problem with not being able to create a new MacDraw document if the Imagewriter file is missing is a known bug. When MacDraw creates a new document, it must get the paper size from the print manager, which in turn gets it from the appropriate printer resource file (Imagewriter, Laserwriter, ...). Based on the symptoms, it seems that if the required resource file is missing, MacDraw ends up with a 0-sized page. (This problem will be familiar to users of MacApp 0.1.)

I can generate 512 paragraphs in just a few pages writing mathematical text with lots of section headings and the like. Every section heading takes 3 paragraphs, or more. This limit is going to make 4.X next to usless for anything except straight prose. In every other way 4.2 a big step forward. Come on Apple, do this right, for the rest of us.

In a similar vein, since the scratch files it uses are given fixed names, you can't run it twice using the Switcher, since both instances would try to access the same scratch files. Elgin ------------------------------ Date: 16 May 85 18:38:00 PDT From: "PETER YAOHWA CHU" Subject: wrong default font after upgrade, DA/font mover Reply-to: "PETER YAOHWA CHU" If your new finder uses a strange font for displaying disk names, file names, etc., you can restore the system font by removing the battery on the back of the mac and putting it back. Then the mac hopefully will behave normally. Of course you have to run control panel again. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 May 85 00:20:46 pdt From: Michael Peirce Subject: MacTerminal Document with Del/BS remapped (switched) The following is a BinHex 4.0 copy of a MacTerminal document that has a key map resource in it that switches the way delete and backspace are mapped on the keyboard so that delete is the default code coming from the backspace key and a backspace code is produced with clover-backspace. This is *very* nice when working on systems like Unix, VMS, etc. The new keyboard map also added ^9 ^0 ^- ^= to be equivalent to the cursor keys found on a VT-100 terminal.

My parents have just purchased a 512K mac for their small business. Amoung other things, they would like to install their payroll on the computer. However, neither of them have much experience with computers and finding a good, simple payroll program has'nt been too easy. Any suggestions?? Preferably under $500, with a capacity of at least 50 employees. Chris Demke Demke@usc-eclb.arpa P.S. Any ideas on a preferred hard disk would be appreciated... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 May 85 14:33:34 edt From: Velu Sinha Subject: Power supply question Could someone please verify if the Mac power supply is a switching supply?
