Subject: [*] FunKeys 1.5

FunKeys Version 1.5
Copyright (C) 1996-97 by Alex Rampell
FunKeys is an incredibly useful utility for the Macintosh.  What FunKeys
allows you to do, basically, is "program" those function keys on the top of
your keyboard to do things. (The keys F1, F2, F3, F4, etc.  They are only on
extended keyboards, which most Macs have).  Most of us Mac users never even
use those things, as they are unsupported by many programs; FunKeys not only
gives them a use, but it also makes them really useful.

With FunKeys installed, you can program all 15 of them to either open
files/applications, execute AppleScripts, envoke macros (FKEYs), or even type
text.

For example, F1 can open America On-Line, F2 can open Microsoft Word, F3 can
turn off the sound, F4 can quit all open applications, and F5 can type
"Sincererely yours."  It's entirely up to you.

In order to take advantage of the AppleScript functions, you will need to
have System 7.5 or later installed; otherwise, you can simply use FunKeys to
open your favorite applications and FKEYs at a blast.  Hundreds of FKEYs are
freely available from sources such as America On-Line, Info-Mac, and other
Mac software sites.  FKEYs have normally been installed to Command-Shift-x
keys.

FunKeys can also switch over to a certain application if it is already
running.

And, best of all, you can still use the Function Keys for their regular uses,
at the same time that FunKeys is running.

Version 1.5 adds many new features, such as the ability to open any kind of
file, not just applications.  This includes Control Panels, Documents, and
Sounds---everything.  It also allows different Function Keys to type text.

Helium is a shareware program that improves Balloon Help on the Macintosh.

With Helium installed, you can press a key combination to instantly see
the balloon help for whatever's under the cursor on the screen, without
having to turn Balloon Help on (and off again).

You can also choose your own font and size for Balloon Help text, making
it more readable. Finally, Helium lets you hide the Help menu (and show
it for a moment when necessary).

The new version 3.0 includes fat patches for PowerPC computers, adds a
new toggle key combination, and is completely compatible with the
forthcoming Mac OS 8.

If you've been frustrated by Balloon Help in the past, you'll find that
Helium now makes it usable!

programs Window Monkey, Menuette, Speed Beep and Holiday Lights.

Subject: [*] Macintosh Application Development Essentials 1.0.1

MADE is a tiny package of C/C++ code which provides all the lowest-level
needs for a Macintosh application. It is designed for people who are
learning, or know how to program Macs, but don't have the time, energy or
desire to write basic menu, event, memory and error handling routines.

Despite its small size, MADE includes several features specifically
designed to help the development process; allowing potential crashes to be
caught before testing, and various methods to turn intermittent errors
into ones that happen every time (perhaps you think that's a bad idea!)

The other two areas in which MADE helps are AppleEvents and the Drag
Manager. Despite the fact that some projects won't need these, they can be
tricky to implement so they are in as switchable options.

Version 1.0.1 clears up a couple of minor issues.
Macintosh Application Development Essentials is shareware.

Subject: [*] netbots-20.hqx (Internet Agent Program)

[Note: this replaces netbots-11.hqx in the archives]

Attached is NetBots 2.0, a shareware Internet agent program for Mac OS.

new features:

   - enhancements to the standard PortBot, PingBot, and FingerBot
   - an all new WWWBot that will check for web page updates
   - support for the /robots.txt web crawling security standard
   - concurrent execution of bots through the Thread Manager

Subject: [*] PhoneCodes-TimeZones 3.3.3

Have you ever received a phone message and not known if it's still
"business hours" where the call came from? Or planned to call your
nephew in Harare and not known if he would be awake yet?

PhoneCodes/TimeZones is an update to my previous Area Codes/Time Zones.
It is a DocMaker stand-alone application which provides all kinds of
useful information. It lets you pinpoint where an area code or country
code is located and what time it is there. Conversely, it lets you look
up area codes for major cities in the US and Canada and international
country codes for all the countries in the world.

Version 3.3.3 is an interim release which is up-to-date on the latest
Area Code additions. Look for version 4.0 coming soon with detailed
world Daylight Savings Time information.

The reference ftp site for the latest released version is:
ftp://ftp.antigone.com/pub/pctz/

New in version 3.33 (06-Jun-1997): - Added new Area Codes 228 435 450
660 740 781 785 831 850 931 978 - Updated info on Area Codes 323 724 734
925 949

Future plans:

- More exact daylight savings time information - City codes for
countries which require them

Phone Codes/Time Zones is freeware, but it is not in the public domain.
Inclusion in freeware collections is prohibited unless written
authorization is obtained from me specifically for this purpose. It was
created with DocMaker. I only claim copyright on the text within.

Subject: [*] Referencer

Referencer 4.03 is the popular Filemaker Pro 3 bibliographic database that
stores, organizes, and categorizes many types of references (articles, books,
audio, video, software, CD's etc.). Referencer also aids in formatting the
references into three major professional styles (APA, AMA, and MLA).
 Referencer is designed with a 3-D interface and has button-driven ease of
use.

POWERFUL ORGANIZING DATABASE
Using multiple options, you decide how to categorize and describe each
reference: 1) a general reference type (software, book, film, etc.), 2)
Category (e.g., art, medicine, etc.), 3) Keyword(s), and 4) text (e.g.,
abstract). References can, therefore, be organized in many ways and you can
search and develop reference lists using many different types of criteria.

A popular Referencer feature is the automatic pop-up picture of the reference
type (software, book, film, etc).

FORMAT REFERENCES INTO 3 MAJOR REFERENCE STYLES
Referencer provides assistance with three major formatting styles (APA and
AMA styles for scientific and medical formatting, MLA style for writers and
other researchers). When you need an abbreviated periodical name for an AMA
style reference a file of over 850 journal names automatically provides the
proper abbreviation. Formatted reference lists can be printed or exported to
a file that can be opened in a word processor.

Referencer is ideal for writers, scholars, researchers, scientists,
physicians, teachers, students and anyone needing to organize collections of
information material. It is especially valuable for cataloging collections of
articles from subscribed journals, other publications and media, for personal
publications, and for organizations that want to organize reference
collections and enable computer searches of the information.

Many people have actually replaced their expensive commercial bibliographic
programs with Referencer. Compare Referencer to any other bibliographic
database for yourself. Referencer is inexpensive ($15.00) shareware. Free
upgrade to registered users.

From: jwcho@eekaist.kaist.ac.kr
Subject: [*] SerialControl 0.1

"SerialControl" is application and hardware device to control external
devices using Macintosh through serial port of Macintosh.

It is really hard to interface something to Macintosh unlike old Apple
II or IBM-PC. The slot of AppleII and ISA(or EISA) of IBM-PC(or
compatible) has relatively simple structure and protocol. Currently PCI
bus or direct slot of Macintosh is too complex for personal hobbyist to
interface something like ADC, DAC, digital port. "SerialControl" might
solve this problem somewhat. "SerialControl" is application(including
sources) and hardware device(to make by yourself). It uses serial port
and provides 8 TTL outputs and 8 TTL inputs with current circuit, but
you can easily expand to interface to other device like ADC or DAC.

You require special LSI CY233 from Cybernetic Micro Systems. Actually,
CY233 is powerful LSI for serial-parallel conversion or network.
"SerialControl" just utilizes one of its operation modes. Only demerit
of this LSI is price. The price is $45 each(16$ per 1000) except S/H.
Foreigner may pay more.

This "SerialControl" is absolutely freeware. You can use this circuit,
source, and application for your personal use(absolutely not for
commercial use). If you are going to include in CD, magazine, FTP
server, or web server(except Info-Mac archives and its mirror server),
please let me know.

If you have any questions, advice, comments, or corrections,  please let
me know. I'll really appreciate. Here is information about me.

Subject: [*] WarpSearch CGI 2.6

WarpSearch is a *fast* non-indexed TEXT and HTML search utility that
functions in both local and CGI/ACGI modes. It works with any
CGI-compatible Macintosh web-server, including NetPresenz, MacHTTP,
WebSTAR, Quid Pro Quo, WebServer 4D, and many others. Speed tests on an old
Mac IIci measure WarpSearch at over 500kb/sec and the newer PowerPC Macs
perform far better. The bigger the files, the faster the search!

This release adds support for installations having multiple System Folders.

Subject: [*] WhiteBoard

WhiteBoard provides a shared painting environment between two Mac's over
the Internet. It was written by Cliff McCollum <cliffmcc@blueglobe.com>
and is available for FREE. And no, there isn't a windows version
available.

This program was originally created mostly as a personal experiment in
using Threaded networking under PowerPlant. Please be aware that printing
isn't finished, it may have a few bugs, and isn't terribly pretty - but
it does work.

I completed WhiteBoard in November of 1995 and it had just been sitting
around since then. One day, in a fit of computer cleaning, I stumbled
across it on my hard drive: I had almost forgotten it existed.

Rather than throw it out, I thought I'd give it away.

Remember that this program is offered *AS IS*. I have only tested it on
five or six different setups, though I expect it should work most
everywhere. Please don't expect WhiteBoard to be commercial quality as I
haven't polished it enough to release it as shareware. But it does work,
and I'm sure that some of you will find it useful.

Also, despite that fact that it is offered for free, WhiteBoard remains
Copyright (c) 1997 Cliff McCollum. Feel free to distribute WhiteBoard
however you please, so long as this "Read Me" file is included along with
the program.

System requirements:
* System 7.5 or greater (or System 7.1 with the Thread Manager)

From: "J. Eickhoff" <eickhoff@spacediv.dofn.de>
Subject: (Q) Advice for buying a new computer

Hello all,

I dare to send this mail to the digest, although I might be flamed at,
but it is a real question. I intend to by a new computer this late
summer, and I really wonder which machine to choose, Mac or PC? In
former time I really was a Mac fan, but in the meantime, the Mac already
lies behind the PC.

...oh, not, not that Id be crazy to switch to windows, no the
alternative is Linux! Please comment my following choice drivers and
give me sime suppoert which architecture to choose:

1. One problem for me is that MacOS no longer is an adequate OS. It
maybe has nice networking functionalities and a nice user interface, but
it mostly dies when an application dies and things like upgrading
(remember all the crazy cascade you have to go to get from 7.5.1 to
7.6.1) are absolutely no single bit more handy nowadays than on a PeeCee
box.

2. I simply do not believe Apple any further word on dates for Rhapsody.
Years ago it sounded Pink to come out, then what at that time they
called system 8 and now Rhapsody. And the developers release still is to
come out, not talking about dates for the public version.

3. Apparently Rhapsody also is to come on Intel, so why stick to a Mac?
Who tells me, that in a year or so Apple still will stick to Motorola
based architectures?

4. Topic Linux: I need a system where I can really do some performant SW
development under C++. Under Linux no problem with gcc and all the
development stuff. But MK-Linux for the mac apparently seems to be dead.
The webpage hasnt been updated since march, the archive still is state
April. On MK-Linux quite a number of tools from commercial developers
are not available, e.g. Netscape Navigator, Star Office, Sniff+ etc.

5. A very important thing also is that I want to do some C++/Ada
development and as far as I know so far GNAT has also not been ported to
MK-Linux.

6. MK-Linux might be the more modern architecture with the Mach Kernel,
but what is it worth if it still is a developers release and SW is
missing? Last year it sounded that a first official release would be out
still before christmas 96. Now we are approaching the next christmas and
no official MK-Linux release is even in sight.

7. If I compare the stability of my MacOS in office and at home to the
stability of my collegues Win95 here in office, my macs are the unstable
architectures! There is not a single bit of reason to be arrogant
towards these Win users. Sometimes my Mac dies when Eudora accesses the
net, sometimes it dies during Netscape use etc. And beware before
flaming! Both at home and in office the system configurations and OS
installations have been done by personnell from my Apple dealer -
including check of system extensions and versions I use! So no self
hacked dummy installations!

8. For PC Linux there is a Win emulation available so that for running
homebanking SW etc. a compatibility also is available and in worst case
you can boot win95 which you get with every PC box.

So now, dont flame but help. One solution e.g. could be - although
expensive - to buy a Mac and run PC linuc on a pentium card. But I so
far did not get any hint, whether that would work and whether for Linux
the appropriate drivers for graphic card, printers etc would be
available. Another solution would be to go to a PC, basically run Linux,
and if Apple really succeeds to get Rhapsody out, as it is intended to
supply it also for Intel boxes, then to get back to the  Apple OS again
- besides Linux.

It is your turn now. TIA

Subject: 7300/7.6.1 System Tools


Our office just got a new 7300/180. As is customary, I got the new toy.
Yes, I know. Rough duty, but someone has to pull it.

The reason for my getting new toys is that, being as close to a guru as
we have, I should get the untried technology and stub my own toe. In this
case that was a pretty good idea. The 7300 came loaded with 7.5 (Gag me
with a spoon!) and was accompanied by a 7.5 CD-ROM for the 7300 *plus*
a 7.6.1 CD-ROM in a separate package. I, of course, opted to install the
7.6.1 system. And I ran into a puzzlement.

Of all the Systems on CD-ROM I've seen over recent years, this 7.6.1 puppy
did *not* have a Disk Tools image on it. Gee, that's weird, says I. The
one of the 7.6 persuasion I bought came with two floppies, one for "all"
68k machines and one for "all" PPC machines. And the CD-ROM itself came
with disk images of each persuasion.

It was not a particular surprise to find that the "any PPC" 7.6 Disk Tools
would not boot the 7300. I looked at the Disk Tools created from the 7.5
CD-ROM for 7300, and found a "minimal" enabler. Gee, I hate those things.
Minimal it might have been, but its 100K would not fit on a Sys 7.6 Disk
Tools floppy.

Methinks Apple is at it again. I really thought they had gotten their act
together with their "any 68k" and "any PPC" boot floppies with the 7.6 system.
And here comes the 7300 which apparently is of neither persuasion. Oh goody.

I suspect I might be able to live without a floppy-bootable System. The new
Norton (3.5) CD-ROM boots on the 7300. I'd feel better if I didn't know that
the old MacTools Pro (not on a bootable CD-ROM) finds and fixes problems
Norton can't even address. But I'm retro.

Have I missed something? Is the 7300 another IIvx (one of which I fear we
actually bought during the three days it was on the market)?

Not sure if this will apply to you but...

I have found that if I have too many files and folders on the Desktop or
accessed via the AppleMenu (ESPECIALLY with the hierarchical AppleMenu
option) I get a similar delay. I had put an alias for each of my drives in
the AppleMenu thinking that I could access ALL my files thereby. It worked
but gave a long delay anytime I accessed ANY menu item. Apparently the
computer has to retrieve all that hierarchical file data each time you access
the Menu bar (even if you don't move over to the AppleMenu).

I have a PowerBook 100 that seems to be suffering from old age...
Suddenly one day it just didn't turn on.
I tried calling Apple for assistance, they had me try resetting the
power manager ( complicated process of holding down the reset and
interrupt
keys ) And all this does it make it flash and click a few times.
The machine gets no pwer to the hard drive or any thing else for that
matter.

Any suggestions other than taking it to "An Authorized Apple Repair

Could this problem be caused by the small "watch cell" batteries being
dead ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: [Q] Slow Text & Navigator

Whenever I'm running Netscape Navigator, the speed of text entry slows to 
a crawl.  For example, as I'm typing this line, it's taking 3 seconds 
from the time I press the key to the time when the character appears on 
the screen.  Note that this problem affects _all_ applications, not just 
Navigator, but only appears when Navigator is running or has been run.  
The problem disappears when I reboot, and doesn't show up again until I 
launch Navigator.

Here's my system configuration:

Quadra 700
20 MB real RAM, 32 MB w/virtual memory
System 7.6.1 w/Open Transport
Netscape Navigator 3.0.1

I've tried the usual troubleshooting techniques, e.g. disabling 
extensions, clean system installs, etc., without success.  I've also 
tried Internet Explorer, but ran into a different problem (it somehow 
continually triggers SAM scans; anyway, I prefer Navigator's user 
interface), so I'm not sure if it would have a similar problem.

Has anyone seen or heard of this problem?  Any and all suggestions are

   Take a look at:

   There you will find a small AppleScript script named "DIGEST Restorer"
that does this. You will also need TexEdit Plus, a shareware text editor

Klaus, I get that stuff all the time. One of my home base accounts is a
mere IBM mainframe which doesn't know boo! about attached documents in any
format. If the attached document is a binary, I'm out of luck. Most often,
however, it is in one of three "text encoded" formats: UUE, HQX, or B64.

I send them to my Mac as text and decode those with one of several utilities
available from your friendly local I-M archive. A Base-64 attachment very
often has no indication of what it is, save for some 65 characters of human
readable gibberish per line. I use YA-base64 for that stuff. Stuffit Expander
is marvelous for everything else. Especially the HQX'd files. If Stuffit
doesn't like a UU-encoded file, I drop it on UU-Lite.

An HQX file starts with "This must be decoded with binhex 4"

A UUE file has a header with a "6xx" number and the file name.

The programs I mentioned are in the "compression" section of the archive.
If memory serves. Which it hasn't for quite a while.
