Aladdin Desktop Tools 1.0.3 Update

This installer updates any Aladdin Desktop Tools package to version
1.0.3 for System 7.5.5 and 7.6 compatability. Specifically, this updater
installs a new Desktop SpeedBoost, Desktop Makeover, as well as
SpeedBoost Monitor. There are no new features in the updated components
of Aladdin Desktop Tools. This update is only for System 7.5.5 and 7.6
compatability. ADT 1.0 users may also install the ADT 1.0.1 update
(FIRST!) to gain new versions of the Desktop Shortcut, and Magic Menu
control panels. If you own ADT 1.0 and also own StuffIt Deluxe version
4.0 or greater, please read this technical note.

technical note: For owners of ADT 1.0 and StuffIt Deluxe 4.0 and
greater, after installing the ADT 1.0 -> 1.0.1 Updater, you will receive
an outdated verion of the Magic Menu control panel.  After running the
ADT 1.0 -> 1.0.1 Updater, restart your Macintosh with Extensions off
(hold down the shift key during startup) and open the Control Panels
folder.  Find the file "~Magic Menu" and drag it to the trash.  This is
an older version of Magic Menu, and is replaced by the new True Finder
Integration control panel.

Subject: [*] DiskTracker 1.1.2 updater

This file updates DiskTracker version 1.1.1 to 1.1.2.  It requires that
you already have DiskTracker 1.1.1.  You can also download the entire
1.1.2 package elsewhere in this archive.

Changes in 1.1.2:

- Temporary file now gets deleted when catalog opening is aborted or an
error occurs. - Crash when Windows NT file servers are mounted fixed. -
Corrupt catalogs are handled better - even the corrupt files should be
partially recoverable. - Label Template Editor now opens to last
template edited when closed and then reopened. - The Disks To Be
Labeled/Search Result Window can now be set to be drawn in the same font
as the catalog window. - Improved saving code allows files to be
recovered when a "corrupted memory" error occurs during file saving. -
Program now behaves correctly when cancelling an "insert disk" request
from the SRW. - Infinite loop/crash with certain StuffIt archives
resolved. - Memory corruption error when using "Show In Finder" from the
Search Result Window fixed. - Error fixed when trying to open some
DiskTracker catalogs from ISO-9660 CD-ROMs. - Fix for folders/files
larger than 2GB reporting incorrect file size. - Fix for redraw glitch
when using non-compressed text in the catalog window. - Other, minor,
redraw glitches fixed.

Subject: [*] Music Collection 2 (FileMaker Pro 3)

Finally it's here: a truly relation music-collection database.

Music Collection Deluxe 2.0 is an intuitive, robust database designed to
help you track your growing music collection.

Similar databases overlook your cassette and LP collection and the fact
that some titles include more than one compact disc -- these are some of
the unique features of Music Collection Deluxe 2.0.

True relational capabilities for song titles, song times, group members,
member's instruments and multiple-disc titles -- great for box sets --
you're only limited by hard disk space.

Comprehensive fields for tracking every detail of your vast music
collection: artist/group, title, song name, song time, artists names,
artist's instruments, record label, catalog number, genre, rating,
purchase price, serial number, location and more.

Exclusive "Artist Sort Order" allows easy grouping of artists by first
or last name. (For example, "The Who" can be sorted by "Who The" or "The
Who" with a mouse click. Sort by most other fields with a mouse click.

A polished interface. A consistent, intuitive navigation toolbar is
always available, allowing you to quickly switch layouts. (Designed for
14" -- 640 by 480 -- color monitors.)

A dynamic detail layout allowing you to see all pertinent information in
one screen.

Detailed reports to create a hard copy of your collection. Even a "wish
list" report to provide friends or relatives gift-giving ideas of which
LPs and tapes you'd like to own on CD.

Comprehensive on-line help revealing secrets of the interface.

Subject:       Conclusion: Pinnacle Tahoe 230 Mb MO drive driver

Thanks everyone for your help - I think the problem is solved now. The 
solution came from Doug Frick (it actually arrived before I got the Info 
Mac digest with my question in it! Wow!) who suggested to zap the PRAM. 
Here is how the saga concluded:

Set up: Performa 5200 CD/TV, System 7.5.5.
SCSI chain: Zip first, then Tahoe MO (only way because the Tahoe uses a 
strange plug and I didn't want to fork out money if I was going to sell 
the Zip anyway)
drivers: Iomega, Tahoe (Iomega loads first, is active; inactivation of 
the Iomega driver puts the Zip under the control of the Tahoe driver, 
with the result that all files on the Zip appear in 8.3 DOS format)

Solution: I used TechTools to first save my PRAM settings (in case 
anything went wrong) and then used it again to zap the PRAM ... restart ... 
Iomega driver active ... inserted MO disc (the one I couldn't initialise 
and had given up as defective) ... NEW: message "this is a blank disc - 
please use the formatter to initialise it" instead of the previous "This 
disc is unreadable - would you like to initialise it?" ... disc was ejected 
... started formatter ... formatted MO disc without problems ... transferred 
273 files (ca. 90 Mb) onto MO ... halfway through: "Cannot copy file x 
because a disc error occured" ... transfer cancelled ... had copied 5 folders 
(about 40 Mb) just fine ... try file alone ... copy is fine ... try to delete 
half-copied folder ... error "Cannot delete file x1, x2, x3 ... because it 
could not be found" ... then it goes banana ...

Disactivate Iomega driver (using Extension manager) ... restart ... zap PRAM 
again -> now Zip and MO under control of Tahoe driver ... sees Zip files 
just fine (previously showed file names as 8.3 DOS format) ... insert MO 
disc again ... message "this is a blank disc - please use the formatter to 
initialise it" !!!!! (the five folders are gone!) ... format MO disc again 
... copies all 273 files without problems ... copys / unstuffs another > 600 
files without problems 

My conclusion is that the Iomega driver was both changing the PRAM and 
led to corruption of the directory on the Tahoe (Newton had previously 
reported lots of B-Tree errors and corruption of the main directory 
(MTB?) before saying "A major error occured that I cannot repair" when 
the system ran under the control of the Iomega driver). Therefore be 
very careful when using the Zip with other drives - I'm not sure that I 
haven't lost a couple (hundreds?) of files (it's a bit hard to keep 
track of over 9000 files ...)

Thanks again to everyone for the great response.

Subject: [A]: Very Slow IIcx Boot

Stan,

Not sure any of these will help, but:

If you are on Appletalk or other network at boot time, try physically
disconnecting the network during boot. We have seen some similar problems
where the system hangs before any extensions are booted and it has been
solved by disconnecting Appletalk or Ethertalk.

Have you tried zapping PRAM? Command-Option-P-R on most machines with Syst &+

Have you tried reinstalling the system, you may have a corrupt system file.

Have you rebuilt the desktop file, use TechTool 1.1.3 which should be in
the archives.

good luck

Solutions site is based on information that I receive from fellow Performa
owners that has helped track, document and resolve some of the quality
issues with these machines.

I welcome anyone who hasn't stopped by in a while to take a look at it's
content and helpful information for not only Performa owners, but anyone
who has a Macintosh Computer system.  Again, thank you to everyone who has
contributed, your kindness has meant a great deal in this site's success.

Subject: [Q] Can anyone recommend scheduling SW?

I am kinda suddenly in the market for scheduling software.  Should ex-
plain further --

a)  There is the type of scheduling task where you want to call a mtg
but Cindy can't come on Tuesdays or Wednesday before 2 and Mark can only
come on Wednesday Thursday or Friday, and John isn't available on Friday
after 1 and so on...software that could take in such info and toss out
possible times when everyone can come would be nice to know about...

b)  There is also the type of scheduling task where someone has to be
on call on any given day and be in office all day long handling emer-
gencies.  Fred can't stay in office on any Tuesday and is gonna be in
Michigan on the 27th and Terri can't every do Mondays or Fridays, and
Elzanne cant' do Wednesdays.  Software that could assign people equit-
ably to slots to do their duty while eliminating them from assignment
to time slots that they can't do would be nice to know about...

c)  Software that as a single shareware package for the Mac that could
do both A and B above would be *wonderful* to know about; commercial
software that would do both A and B above would be pretty COOL to
know about; shareware that would do B but not A would be pretty darn
close to *wonderful* to know about; software that would do A but not B
would be somewhat interesting to know about.

Please let me know what might fit the above descriptions, OK ?

I've downloaded the trial version of Claris HomePage, which I like a lot so
far, but before I actually shell out the $99 bucks for the real version, I
need a question answered (the trial version doesn't include help).

When I'm importing graphic files into HomePage, how can I get the invisible
parts to stay invisible?  If it's a graphic that was previously massaged
with
a program like GraphicConverter, it's just fine.  But if it's a straight

that
transparency is turned on.

Can anyone help me out before I shell out the money?

Subject: [Q] Fax to TIFF automagically?

I would like to find some method to have incoming faxes automatically
convert to TIFF files on a hard drive (no human involved). For multi-page
faxes, each page would get a unique name. Either the software does this, or
it is scriptable to do this, or it auto-prints faxes and you know of a
print driver that creates TIFF files.

I have the Global Village software (and modem) and it will not
automatically save to TIFF. Global Village is not willing to part with
their file spec so I cannot read the files their software creates. I played
with the auto-print capabilities a while back and the software seemed to
get confused as to what had and had not been printed.

I have some different fax software that came with some Motorola StarMax
computers, and that software does not automatically save to disk as TIFF
either.

Long ago I tried the STF fax software and found it to be less than
reliable. Perhaps it is better now and perhaps it will do this?

Any suggestions on fax software for the Mac that saves each fax
automatically as TIFFs OR suggestions on print drivers that print as TIFFs
would be appreciated.

Subject: [Q] PowerBook 160 Batteries


My father is using a PowerBook 160 with a couple of old batteries.  
Whenever the batteries are placed in the notebook, the machine reboots.  
And, when the notebook is turned on with the batteries installed, after 
chiming, it shuts off.  I check the voltage of the batteries with one 
being 1.11 volts and the other being at 3.24 volts.  Clearly, the 
readings indicate that the batteries are shot.  However, is it _normal_ 
for the Powerbook to not work when these batteries are inserted and work 
just fine when they are removed?

Subject: AOL version 3.0

Answer: No.  Mac users make up such a small percentage of AOL members,
it's lucky they do any development at all.

System 7.1.1 can be updated to 7.1.2 for free, but that's it.  You should
be able to find copies of 7.5 around for low cost (check your local
university) that can then be updated to 7.5.3, which is a solid OS (but it
eats a lot of disk space and RAM).

The steps to upgrade an LC are very simple:
1. Sell your LC
2. Buy a newer computer.  You can get good models for under $600 complete.

Apple made the LC so that it couldn't be upgraded.  An upgrade board would
cost you around $400, might as well get the new computer.

Subject: Checkered Mac SE-30

This SE-30/8/1.2 :

1. Starts up with a checkered pattern & no sound. The boot continues
normally after a minute or two, still with sound, though very low in
volume, even though the contols are at max.

2. Serial (modem) port works sometimes. Sends unrecocgnizable characters to
modem as viewed by MacComCenter. Clearing the RAM (Purge) and sending a
"Serial-Port" test from TattleTech seems to clear the jam, but takes
several tries.

It was suggested that one or more of the RAM's were defected. I replaced
them with 4Megs of known good units - still the same.

Replaced Power supply.
Cleaned SIMMS1 ROM, pins/sockets.
Cleaned all eight 1m SIMMS/sockets.

I have run an extensive array of software dignostics looking for
extension/software/hardware conflicts and everything seems well in that
department.

Anyone have any idea's ?

Subject: Premiere help!

I have not managed to open some short video clips captured on a friend's
Mac (AV Quadra) hooked up to a VHS deck. She has used Adobe Premiere and
rescaled the clips to one quarter screen size so one 12 second clip
makes a file of about 18 mb.

We also sampled down the clips at 15 Frames per second, rescaled them to
about 120 pixels wide and placed them in Director 5 and they worked fine
on her 68K Mac. Using Premiere 4 and Director 5 on my Powermac 7100/66
neither size of clip is viewable in either application. Premiere shows a
black preview screen, Director shows a thumnail in the cast but a white
or grey screen in the video window. The file sizes and clip durations
are indicated in the info windows in both applications.

I have imported and viewed other video clips successfully in both
applications from a CD-ROM: sound and motion work. 
I am using QuickTime 2.5, movie player 2.5 and system 7.5.5, my friend
is using 2.1 and using system 7.3. 
I wrote the files to CD-Rom and when opened in Premiere on my friend's
Mac they worked. Could the problem be between the way a non Powermac
machine saves the file? Or do I need a full AV Mac to view and edit the
clips? Should I save the Premiere files as projects rather than movies?

What can I do?  Please help!!
Could you mail me a response please? I did send a similar request for
help last week.

Thanks

Tim

The initial crash may be unrelated to the powerup
problem.  Check the PRAM battery on the motherboard.
Could be weak.

Subject: Retrieving Info-Mac files?

I'm receiving the Info-Mac digests with Eudora, with the "Receive MIME
digests as attachments" setting turned on.  So now Eudora bursts the digest
into one mailbox with individual messages.  But the files are referenced
simply by a generic path, relative to the Info-Mac hierarchy, not to a
specific server that I can download the file from.  For example,

[Archived as /info-mac/sci/dem-reader-15-ppc.hqx; 81K]

Once upon a time I used to use EasyView to read the digests, and it gave me
a facility for double-clicking (or command-clicking, or something similar)
on the file name (in the "[Archived as..." line) to launch my FTP client to
download that file.

Is there any way I can get Eudora to behave the same way, make "hot links"
of the "[Archived as..." line?  Fully qualified URLs
(protocol://site.name/) work as normal; is there an easy way to qualify
these partial URLs?  Like,

<ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/info-mac/sci/dem-reader-15-ppc.hqx>

Or do I have to go back to using a third application (like EasyView)?

Subject: Sound Input for IIci?

Is there an inexpensive solution for sound input on a IIci? Our 
elementary school has been given several. We are used to being able to 
record voices for our students' multi-media projects.

Subject: Video Editing

	I seek information on a subject about which I know nothing:
My wife does wildlife video and is having difficulty editing her material.
She uses a Canon L1 video camera, a small television set for a monitor and
for transfer to VHS tapes, a Sony SLV-R1000 Video casette recorder. She has
tried using the Canon editor but cannot control the frames as well as she
would like.

	She has a Mac IIsi and would like to use it for editing if software
was available. The professionals whom we've consulted can suggest onl;y
high-end (and ve-e-e-e-ry expensive) stuff. Does anyone know of any
available software? Speed is not important.

	Please reply to <clarens@voicenet.com> and many thanks in advance.

Subject: VRML/QTVR/QD3D

I want to know how to convert QTVR or QT3D to VRML. Initially, I thought
QTVR and QT3D were dialects of VRML, but I seem horribly mistaken.
Any pointers?

Subject: Word 6.0.1 and page numbers

On a recent document, I had created a header and a footer with page numbers
in footer.  Although I could see the greyed out page numbers in page
preview, they would not print.  Any ideas?  Page margins were 1" all the
way around.  Other documents with the same set up printed the page numbers
fine but on this one they would not print.  I don't remember changing
anything that would make a difference.  Any help or ideas is most
appreciated.  Thanks
