Alpha is: New features: o new Latex, HTML, and Java modes o expanded syntax coloring o new modular reorganization of Tcl code o One or two other enhancements and fixes. And the standard blurb: o Powerful. Alpha uses Dr. Ousterhout's Tool Command Language (Tcl) as a scripting language. Tcl is rapidly becoming a popular extension language over many different hardware platforms. o Customizable. Any function or keystroke sequence can be bound to any key, menus are completely user-specified and modifiable. o Emacs-ish. Alpha supports many of the key bindings and central concepts of GNU Emacs. It is not a port, however, and uses a Tcl instead of LISP as an extension language. o Multi-modal. Alpha supports mode-specific: bindings menus keyword colorizing Alpha currently has over 20 different modes, including modes for the following languages: Ada, C, C++, Fortran, HTML, Java, Pascal, Perl, Postscript, Scheme, SQL, Tcl, and TeX (including both LaTeX and LaTeX2e). o Interoperable. Alpha allows user scripts to build and send arbitrary AppleEvents. Currently, the default configuration of Alpha inter-operates with several different compilers, including CodeWarrior and Symantec C/C++, several LaTeX implementations, including OzTeX, DirectTeX, and Textures (although Textures' AppleEvent support is currently very weak), and several other applications, such as MacPerl, BibTeX, Excalibur, the ToolServer, and Eudora. o Native on the PowerMac. o Uses the latest Apple technologies, such as Drag and Drop, and AEGizmos. o Uses Ramon Felciano's Mercutio menu definition routines. o Internet Config-aware. Alpha is ShareWare, $30.

When you drag a window's title bar and Solid Dragging is active, the whole window image is moved instead of a dull-looking window outline. If the Update Windows option is also active, all windows are updated on the fly without waiting for you to release the mouse. Not as fast as the BeOS, but definitely better than the standard Mac OS behavior! DragAnyWindow also allows you to easily move any kind of window, including dialogs, alerts, standard "Open" and "Save" dialogs, game windows and other non-movable windows. It lets you bring back to the desktop any window that has gone out of sight, or center the front window on the main screen with a single keystroke. These options are very useful for old applications designed for the 9" screen (which often use fixed windows) and for moving modal dialogs and windows behind them.

The standard Find command lets you search for occurrences of the word 'apple' in your file. But sometimes, instead of searching for a specific word or phrase, you'd benefit from searching for a certain _kind_ of word or phrase. That kind could just be a list of, say, 'apple', 'orange', 'plum', 'pear'. Or it could be any word that starts with 'p' and has four letters, or any word starting with 'p' and having four letters, the second and fourth of which are within the first half of the alphabet. In like manner, you can search for a telephone number from any country or configuration followed by a word that starts with a vowel.

SwitchRes requires MacOS 8, and a multisync monitor may be useful... Of course, SwitchRes works fine under MacOS 8.5 It is distributed as a $9 shareware, but you can try the application for 7 days. Bugs corrected and news in version 1.5: --------------------------------------- * All SwitchRes menus are definable independently: you can decide to show the depths only in the Control Strip Module and the resolutions only in the Contextual Menu, if you want * SwitchRes can restore the display and sound settings when an application quits * You can prevent SwitchRes to re-apply an application defined setting when you change the frontmost application. * You can prevent an application to change the resolution. It's specially useful when a game is designed to work in a resolution that the programmer decided to use. * More NuBus based Macs are supported, including PowerMacs 6100/7100/8100 AV and Powerbooks 520, 540 and 1400. * The Appearance of the control panel has radically chaged: You can resize the Control Panel's window, and the lists are sortable by name, screen size, etc. * The Control Panel is now more compatible with some Kaleidoscope [Archived as /info-mac/gui/switchres-15-fr.hqx; 313K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Oct 1998 16:35:07 -0700 From: support@vse-online.com Subject: [*] VSE HTML Turbo 1.0 (68k) - Accelerate your web site VSE HTML Turbo 1.0 is a new tool that optimizes HTML documents so that they become much smaller and load much quicker into Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

When the files or pages are saving, instead of saying "File will open with SimpleText", it's blank.

If TCP/IP is set to use PPP and I then launch AOL, the AOL application then said AOL Link is not loaded, please set TCP/IP to AOL Link and restart. The reeverse also happen if I launch PPP dialer and my TCP/IP happen to be set for AOL Link. This of course is a pain since I have to always check TCP/IP control panel first before launching any of the corresponding application. Anybody know what I am doing wrong here, or is this a MacOS weakness? In my other other computer (ugh, a laptop Pentium with win98), it handled this transaction flawlessly!!! Evidently, in their control panel the laptop system have 2(two) TCP dialing adaptor: TCP->PPP and TCP->AOL Link. The respective application know enough to use the correct one! Help!!!! TIA.

I think these crashes started to happen after I accidently made an alias of my HD, which I immediately trashed. These crashes occur very often, the last one happened after I left off writing this message: my screen saver came on but when I tried to activate the screen again the crash occurred with the message above. I have run Norton and TechToolPro 2.1.1 and got clean bills of health. I have rebuilt my desktop and zapped my pram. The problem persists. Has anyone any ideas and advice about how to solve this problem? I am going to get an external HD. I have a zip drive attached to my scsi port at the moment. Should I attach the HD to the computer and then the zip to the HD, or the other way round? Does it matter? I want to move to system 8.1 and then 8.5 when it arrives here (UK). I daren't lose my internet connections. I plan to try out the new systems on the external HD first to make sure everything works fine before making the final move. Can anyone give advice on this, or foresee problems I might experience? Thanks, > Ezra PS Another crash occurred whilst I was running the Eudora spell checker on this message with message: 'Sorry, a system error occurred "Eudora Spell Checker" error type 11.

Sheldon" Subject: mp2100 serial connection dying (Q) With some pressure, I have to angle the adapter up toward the screen to maintain connection and the condition is getting worse (probably because I am doing this bad fix). I should send my mp2100 out for repair, but would like some idea what is going on and will go on when I get it back. Galaxy Hardware's David suggested, after some discussion, that we probably have isolated the problem to a connection of the serial port to the motherboard, so off it must go to apple. Also, as it stands, I can't backup before I send it back for repair and will lose information, so this might be a high apple support issue. Please e mail me and post. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Oct 1998 16:45:06 -0400 From: Peter Jorgensen Subject: Q Word 5.1a on G3 PowerBook?
