Can someone tell me how the Macintosh differentiates between an MFS and HFS disk? I am doing file recovery on damaged MacWrite 4.5 disks, but when they are severely trashed, Fedit will treat two-sided disks as one-sided only. What I want to do is change the bits of information that identify a particular disk as being two-sided as opposed to one-sided. This way, I'll be able to look at both sides of the disk. So my questions boil down to: 1. Where is the HFS/MFS information stored? (In the boot blocks?) 2. What hex code sequence means HFS? MFS? Any hints would be appreciated by both myself and the people I'm trying to help.

Not that I'm planning to wimp out, mind you. Debugging disassembled machine code dosen't scare me in the least, I think. But, it would seem that unless you are exceptionally proficient at debugging complied code, a symbolic debugger could really be a productivity boost. Joe Mastroianni JDM%SMVL%RCA.COM@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA [ note from moderator: Currently the only products I am aware of that have a source level debugger SHIPPING with them are Microsoft Fortran and Lightspeed PASCAL. Evidently Aztec C is planning a source level debugger by the end of the year but it is not available yet.

Whenever the concept of joins is explained, the typical diagram which Interlace and DBase Mac use is brought into play. There may even be such a diagram in the original DBase II manual. What seems to be copying at first glance is probably just a concession to the standard notation scheme. Kurt ------------------------------ Date: Mon 25 Aug 86 10:02:42-PDT From: David L. Edwards Subject: Smalltalk A new version of Smalltalk (version 0.3) has been listed as being available from APDA. This version is being released under the same terms and conditions as Smalltalk version 0.2. The description for the new version is: "A new version for the Mac Plus but can be used with an XL or any other Macintosh with at least 1MB of RAM. A hard disk is recommended. It contains many new features and enhancements not included in v. 0.2, including faster window updates and HFS support. $50.00" Sounds great to me!! Also, I just finished working out all the examples from 'A taste of Smalltalk' and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn or play with Smalltalk. To order from APDA, you must be a member ($20/year) and you can get details via: Apple Programmer's & Developer's Association 290 SW 43rd Street Renton, WA 98055 (206) 251-6548 -dle PS: I am not associated with APDA, just an ardent Smalltalk user. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Aug 86 13:19:53 edt From: rs4u@andrew.cmu.edu (Richard Siegel) Subject: New TML Pascal TML Pascal version 2.0 is out, and it looks super, and I am going to get my update! Full (as defined by Apple & Wirth) Object Pascal, separate compilation, >>and<< long array addressing! Lightspeed Pascal is pretty in most respects, but I don't like the linker at all, after using TML's linker. The code it produces is too fat. But since TML and Lightspeed are reasonably compatible, I can use LSP to develop my application and TML to crank out the final product... --Rich ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Aug 86 16:26:08 PDT From: chuq@Sun.COM (Chuq Von Rospach) Subject: Button font This is a font of Buttons. chuq (from compuserve, of course) [ archived as [SUMEX-AIM.Stanford.EDU]FONT-BUTTON.HQX daveg ] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Aug 86 16:28:45 PDT From: chuq@Sun.COM (Chuq Von Rospach) Subject: debugging help with lightspeed C This Hqx contains the files needed to implement a dumb printf() debugging window in LightSpeed C.

My problem is that we have two LASER printers now working in this CSIRO Division and consequently are using up quite a lot of Laser printer cartridges. I have notices in the network mail that companies in the US are not refilling Laser printer cartridges. Can anyone tell me if such a service exists in Australia (here's a good opportunity for someone with a business flare!) or is about to start. My address is given below. Could people contact me there please. Best wishes. Raymond Haynes: Address: R.F.Haynes, CSIRO Division of Radiophysics, Mail: P.O.
