Subject: (A) MacWeb and Proxy Servers

Dwight Lemke asks how to use a proxy server with MacWeb.

I had the same problem (MacWeb has no option for
proxy servers) and resolved it using Resedit:

Edit STR# resource number 803 (entitled "Proxy Info").
Strings are of the form: "<protocol>;<http_proxy_url>";
one per protocol. For example:
     http;http://proxy.com/
     ftp;http://proxy.com/

Hope this helps.

If your fax manager stores each received fax as a separate file in a 
specific folder (most do), you can create an AppleScript which watches 
that folder and starts beeping when it notices a new file.

If you're new to AppleScript, this is a very good first project for you. 
It's both useful and easily doable. You'll get such a kick from making 
your own program work! Incidentally, you don't have to start from 
scratch. Use the AppleScript "Script Editor" app. Check out:

-- the "Folder Watcher" applet that ships with every Mac
-- info-mac/dev/osa/
-- http://www.gz.com/scriptweb/
-- ftp://gaea.kgs.ukans.edu/applescript

and look for things with names like "folderwatcher.hqx".

ResEdit instructions for proxy support in MacWeb 1.00A3.2:

<http://www.cs.utas.edu.au/Documentation/Mac/MacWeb1.00A3.2Proxy.html>

                       PROXY SUPPORT IN MACWEB 1.00A3.2
                                       
Setting Proxy

    1. Using a resource editor, open MacWeb 1.00A3.2
    2. Open 'STR#' "Proxy Info" ID=803
    3. For each protocol having proxy support, create a string of the
       form <&ltprotcol&gt;;<url>>. For example :
          + http;http://proxy.utas.edu.au:8080/
          + ftp;http://proxy.utas.edu.au:8080/
            
Setting No Proxy

    1. Using a resource editor, open MacWeb 1.00A3.2
    2. Open 'STR#' "NoProxy Info" ID=804
    3. Create a string for each server for which proxy support is not
       wanted. "*" may be used as a wildcard for every server in a
       domain. For example :
          + www.ford.com
          + *.cs.utas.edu.au

 ...Also MacWeb 2.0, NCSA Mosaic 1.0.3 and MacLynx 2.7.1b1 work on 68000
macs like PB100. More info and URLs at 68000-mac-faq and mac-internet-faq at:

Subject: [Q] Experience w/ New Geoport Fax Software?

I heard that there is a new version of the Geoport Fax Software and I'd
like to know if it is somewhat scriptable.

Specifically, with a series of AppleScripts, I'd like to determine whether
a fax has arrived, save the fax as a series of TIFF files (assuming it is a
multipage fax), and then delete the fax.

Is that possible with the new Geoport Fax software and if so, anyone have
any idea how I would obtain the latest rev of the fax software? I was
unable to find it on the Apple ftp site.

Does anyone know how to empty the trash on a diskette not on the HD?

I remember something called TrashMan a long time ago, but that was before
PPC's and system 7.5 etc.

Hi.

I'm using System 7.5.5 on a Mac Performa 5200CD.

I've been informed that LaserWriter 8.4 is much faster than the
LaserWriter 8 that I'm currently using.  Is LW8.4 compatible with
System 7.5.5?  If so, from where may I obtain it?

Thanks.

Subject: MacWeb and Proxy Servers

Dwight Lemke <D.Lemke@bhm.gu.edu.au> asked:
>My new Uni uses a proxy server for Web access.  At home, I log on with a

The following is from "Web browsers for antique Macs" at:

<http://www.edprint.demon.co.uk/se/macweb.html>

--clip---------------------
All versions of MacWeb can use "proxy servers" for the Web, ftp, gopher and
WAIS. Proxy servers are set up by your network admin or ISP to cache files
downloaded by users. This means that popular downloads are accessed from
local disks rather than from the Net, speeding up access. In MacWeb 2.0 you
can set these proxies directly in your Preferences, but with earlier
versions you need to use ResEdit.

Open a copy of MacWeb with ResEdit and edit STR# resource number 803
(labelled Proxy Info). You can configure MacWeb for ftp, gopher, http and
WAIS. Strings are of the form:

protocol;http_proxy_url
e.g.

http;http://wwwcache.lut.ac.uk:3128/
gopher;http://wwwcache.lut.ac.uk:3128/
ftp;http://wwwcache.lut.ac.uk:3128/
wais;http://wwwcache.lut.ac.uk:8001/

Don't use these URLs, they're just examples! Use ones provided by your
network administrator or ISP.

"No proxy" is also supported - edit STR# resource 804, e.g.

*.ac.uk
*.com

This means don't use the proxy server for any URLs that end in .ac.uk or .com .

I'm not using external speakers. Audio from interactive CD Roms works fine
through the internal Mac speaker - it is only the Audio CD's which are
silent. I'm thinking there must be a software fix... I have tried using
Apple's Audio CD extension as well as HDT's CD extension. Same results.

Subject: Norton Utilities 3.5

Hi.

My Mac? A Performa 5200CD running System 7.5.5.

I have just acquired Norton Utilities 3.5.  Before using SpeedDisk, I
am told to make sure I'm using the latest disk driver software.  How
do I ensure that I'm using the latest disk driver software that's
compatible with the rest of the system?

Thanks.

there any problems that probably will ensue?   Is APPLE still supporting
