This had worked OK until I downloaded 4.5 and started using it. Whenever I choose "page source", it tries to save the file to my harddrive and I get the message that it couldn't open it in the application (BBEdit, Cyberstudio, whatever I choose...) "because of the unexpected error -43". (which is "file not found" error). If I choose to save the document on my harddrive at that point, it has a generic file icon associated with it. If I leave it set for Netscape to show me the source code, it works (but that's not how I want it). I've changed both Netscape's and Internet Config's preferences and file mapping settings 100 different ways, and nothing seems to work. I suspect that the error -43 might be an indication of a problem with my system (?), but running Disk First Aid and TechTool Pro didn't help. Can anyone suggest how to fix this problem for me? Thank you. Brian White ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 22:46:45 -0500 From: "W. R. Wing" Subject: (Q) Adobe PhotoDelux and Kodak Picture Easy Software Looking at the feature lists and product descriptions, I'm led to wonder if Adobe PhotoDelux and Kodak Picture Easy Software are one and the same. Does anyone here know? On Kodak's web page, the Picture Easy software is now up to version 3.something, as is the Windows version of Adobe PhotoDelux - although both Adobe and Kodak still refer to version 2 as the one in widest use. Kodak doesn't offer a Mac version of Picture Easy (they point Mac Users to Adobe Photoshop, which seems like overkill). Adobe lists the Kodak FlashPix format as one that PhotoDelux supports, so if they are pretty much the same program, I'll probably buy the Mac version of PhotoDelux, if they are significantly different, and there is an overwhelming reason to use Kodak's Picure Easy, then I'll explore using it under Virtual PC. If anyone has experiences with the latter, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Bill Wing William R.

Now I work in a place with NT being widely used, and I would like to be able to get a screen saver, preferably freeware or shareware that does the tubes, pipes, and other popular NT screen savers on the Mac. After Dark seems rather antiquated when compared to these new NT screen savers. Sure I could buy Virtual PC and install NT on it, but that is besides the point. Oh and it has to be MacOS 8.5 compatible. Could anybody let me know where I can find comparable screen savers for the Mac? Thank you.

Yet for some reason buying a computer I can't find a company that will do the same. Here's the idea, rather than pay $2700 up front, $900 a month is a lot easier to digest over the period of three months for a Powerbook G3/233 with 14" screen. So far I've checked ClubMac, and MacZone and both say no. No I don't relish the idea of paying over the period of a year or longer as it will rapidly become more obsolete over that period of time, plus all these companies charge interest to do the same. If you know of a mail order 800 number company you have dealt with before that sells Macs and will do it over a 3 month period of time, then please let me know where you can do it. Also, sadly my digests have not been coming in, in full on e-mail, and the tudelft mirror has not been updated since issue 187, so please e-mail your reply if you don't want it truncated by the Digest's poor text formatting. The newsgroup comp.sys.mac.digest has been having the same problem. Thank you.

There have already been several replies to this, so I won't repeat them. Note that you will get this behaviour if you tried Open Transport, and then deleted it by deleting the files rather than going through the installer program. Removing it through the installer solved the problem for me. If you never installed Open Transport, something odd is going on. You might try installing it, then removing it again with the installer program to reset the switch. I couldn't get the 'Network Software Selector' program to work: I was supplied with a file of this name when I installed Open Transport (incidently, at this time I did not have MacTCP or AppleTalk already installed), but the file would not launch, and further investigation proved that its type was not APPL, so the system did not recognise it as an application. This is somewhat reminiscent of what happened to MacTCP - as well as being made invisible, its file type was changed so that the system would not recognise it as a control panel. (Incidently, the same happened to the Network control panel.) Does anyone know what went wrong - why I can't use Network Software Selector, even after I installed MacTCP? I'm using System 7.1.

I created a document in Word98 using the Garamont 12 font. When I transfered the file to other computers, both Macs and PC, I discovered that the text had expanded and no longer fit the pages (I used text boxes). I later discovered that the problem did not occur only in Word (I created an Acrobat file and discovered that the same thing happened). I also discovered that the Garamont font is not culprit as the same thing happened in Times New Roman. Has anyone else experienced this problem? What is the solution? Thanks in advance Hannes Hofer ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 15:06:15 -0800 From: Don Roszel Subject: A new G3 that doesn't work! I need help with sorting out an extremely squirrely G3 we just purchased. It is a G3, 300Mhz minitower, with 128 megs of Ram, a 24X CD, built in Zip and floppy drives and, I believe, 1 meg of backside cache. It came with 8.5 preinstalled. When we first opened it up and strated using it, everything was fine. It didn=B9t stay that way very long. From the original installation disks, we installed Photoshop 4.0, Illustrator 7.0, Quark 3.31, Xtensis Tools, Font Reserve 2.0, Word 5.1, Conflict Catcher 8, Techtool Pro 2, all of our fonts and the drivers for an HP 4MP printer and an Epson Stylus 1520. We have an APS 3 meg drive attached, and it mounted normally on the desktop. It was accessible with no apparent problems The only program we used to any real extent before things went south was Quark. Within two days it began to crash everytime we tried to print from Quark to the HP printer. the only way out would be to do a forced start. At first, we thought we;d isolated the problem to a font called Comic Sans (which comes preinstalled as part of 8.5). When we removed that font, things went back to normal - very briefly. the machine then began to crash again. Attempting to print would bring up the normal dialogue boxes regarding addressing the printer, processing documet pages, and printing document pages. Then, up to three pages would print before what appeared to be a Finder quit: a completely blank screen. At that point the computer would freeze. I did a clean reinstall of the system software, which seemed to solve the problem briefly before it returned. The next thing I did was to reformat the attached APS drive, to do a system install on it and make it the start up drive. I then reinstalled Quark on that drive, put all the fonts we needed for the Quark document we were working on into the System folder. I also used the LaserWriter 8 software to drive the HP. So far, everything seems to be working OK. We have had one instance of the computer refusing to either quit or restart because =B3an application did not quit=B2. There was nothing running at the time except the Finder. The only application that had been running was Quark. I=B9m sorry this has been so long, but I=B9m on pins and needles waiting for this thing to crash again. My wife is ready to throw the G3 in the trash. It was my idea to purchase it in the first place, so it=B9s continued squirrelyness is placing a strain on my domestic bliss. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Why would it work normally for two days and then go so far south so quickly? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 07:23:09 -0600 From: Miles Abernathy Subject: A Wintel Counterpart to Info-Mac Digest I have stumbled across http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/, which houses an archive of Windows (and DOS) demos, shareware and freeware.

What I want is, of course, connect to the net from home and send faxes. Phone secretary and ability to receive and store faxes with the computer switched off would be nice as well. I've seen advertising of the 3COM US Robotics 56K sportster message plus which looks quite ok, or alternatively the 56k voicefax modem. The shopkeepers say that using them on a Mac is hopeless, but having read infomac for a while I know this is almost certainly false. I'd like to know if anybody has recommendations for/against these or any other modem, and which software one can use for it.

Thank you. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Dec 1998 18:36:39 -0800 From: Bob Durst Subject: Answer: Audio and CD-R Here is the compilation of answers to my original question about creating audio CD's with my new CD-R. First let me thank all that replied, I have not necessarily given credit to all the respondents, but have tried to condense the information for easier more concise reading. Original question: > Now that I've sprung for a CD-R one of the things I would like to do with > it is move old recordings (tapes, and albums) over to CD's. I have access > to an AV-mac and enough stereo equipment to connect the two, but what sorts > of software (and additional hardware) if any do I need to get sounds from > these sources into the Mac and then to write them back out to CD's. Really short answer: It's easy. Connect sound source to sound in port. Record as AIFF file with SoundRecorder (freeware). Burn audio CD with Toast (comes with most CD-R's). Listen and Enjoy! My experience: All respondents agreed that the task is fairly straight forward (what else would one expect from a Mac!). Connecting a line out source from my preamp to the sound in port on the Mac (in this case a G3) and setting the Monitors and Sounds control panel Sound section to use the "Sound In" selection for sound monitoring source (anyone know why this setting is sometimes forgotten when restarting the Mac?), and the sound quality at 44.100kHz. The reason for using the line out port on my preamp was to get the signal boosted from the turntable by the preamp to get anything out. Other sources which supply line out signal could be connected directly. Note: The microphone that came with the G3 has a slightly longer mini-stereo plug than the one I had laying around, but the shorter one (which had RCA phono plugs of the needed gender on the other end) worked just fine. Once set up properly, this took care of getting the sound into the Mac (and playing out through attached speakers). An AV Mac is not required, but one respondent noted improved quality with some of the AV machines (see below). Next, how to record it. There are a number of freeware programs available in the Info-Mac archives that allow one to record sounds. Of the freebies, I found Sound Recorder (SoundRecorder 1.0 is freeware. Copyright by Bernhard Jenny, November 1998) to be very simple and solid. Thanks Bernhard! Choosing AIFF files at a sample rate of 44,100 and 16 bits as the file type is the proper choice for eventual burning of CD's. This gets the sounds recorded, but unless you are very quick and attentive (to stop the recorder at each song and then restart both the turntable and SoundRecorder again), when trying to move my old vinyl to CD's one gets a single CD track for and album side. This might be ok, but is not really what I wanted. This leads one to needing sound editing software. Editing the sound file: Here I was unable to find any freeware. The two choices I have had the chance to try are: Sound Edit 16 (Macromedia) and Bias PEAK Lite (demo). Others that were recommended are listed in individual responses below. I have now used SE16 extensively and played some with BPLite. It was easy to split the file of a single side of an album up into tracks (except of Pink Floyd and Greatful Dead which don't really break between songs) and then copy/paste them into individual song files. This was all fine and good until I got critical and noticed all those pops and crackles in the recordings. By expanding the wave form I was able to identify the pops and cut them out (usually only a few milliseconds). It makes a big difference, but was very tedious and probably not the best way to do it. SE16 also allows one to fade in and out and lots of other features that I haven't made use of. From the responses below I will look more carefully into BP and others to see how they handle pops and crackle as it is much more objectionable than I had realized. For most casual listening this level of editing is more than adequate. Recording the CD: Toast, which came with the CD-R makes this trivial. There is an audio selection and one just drags files onto the recorder window, rearrange them as desired (even preview them if you want) and write the CD. One can write a bunch of tracks now, and then later add more to that CD until all the space is full. In some cases I was able to get two albums onto a single CD. Time: How long did all this take? The original recording takes however long the record is plus a few minutes (266-G3) to save the file after SE16 or SoundRecorder are done with the recording. The editing process took me 10-20 minutes per album side to cut into song tracks and remove the worst of the pops. Recording takes 1/2 the time of the music (I have a 2x recorder-should have sprung for a 4x!) being recorded. So a whole album of 45min becomes a CD in 1.5-2 hrs. All in all I am very pleased with what I have done and plan on converting most all of my vinyl to CD's where I can more easily enjoy them. Here are the various responses that have additional information: From: Julius Friede You shouldn't need an AV mac, pretty much any machine of the last few years at least has an audio input jack and is stereo capable. What you will need is a stereo mini plug to plug into your mac from (probably) RCA type stereo jacks of your source component. You will also need storage space, both for obvious files (a CD is 650MB) and a scratch disk of 1GB (a partition will do) for whatever software you use. Speaking of which, you hopefully got Adaptect's Toast with your drive. Most vendors include it and it is really great and simple. You will also need a disk based recording application unless you have close to a Gigabyte of RAM for a RAM based editor. If you just dump an album to disk and then burn a CD, which is fine, you will have a CD with one track (song). You will need to save each song as a separate file if you want to be able to skip tracks on your CD. Quick Recorder is available on Info-Mac and does a nice job of recording your audio input to disc in 16 bit, 44.1K, stereo (or lesser quality). However, if you want clean tracks (songs) with fade-ins/outs, you will need an editing program. SonicWorxLite is free and fairly powerful. Bias Peak is one of the best, but the Lite version is $100 US and the demo doesn't let you do much. SoundEdit 16 is not bad but getting a little dated and Macromedia doesn't seem to be supporting it much, so it is probably not worth the investment. A good place to start looking is . From: muki pakesch A) HARDWARE if it's a quadra-av (660av, 840av) then you have a qualitywise very good adac if it's a Powermac model then the adac is far inferior this is because the quadra-av have a 2nd processor dedicated to sound handling i.e.: an at&t dsp3210 it is not as good as the motorola5xxx series found in most pro-audio cards but a lot better than the "native" soundprocessing in powermacs. You mention the differences between the adac on the quadra's and the built-in one that is standard on most other machines. Is there really a noticable difference between the two? yes, you can hear it the 660/840 (and only those models) have a 2nd processor which is dedicated for audio and telcom handling it's a at&t dsp3210 it's not as good as the dsp (motorola5xxx) found in digidesign cards but a lot better than the regular adac's found in powermacs so, if you have a powermac i would strongly recommend getting a a dedicated audiocard like digidesigns AMII or AMIII which will give you pro-quality adac http://www.Digidesign.com/ B) SOFTWARE 1) digitizing first you need to digitize your material my favorite is Bias Deck http://www.bias-inc.com/ it's actually a mutlitrack harddisk recording program but it also does a perfectly good job with simple tasks most notably i've personally found it the best and most accurate regarding metering, which is the most tedious and important part of the recording process i've also found it to be the only program with accurate metering on quadra-av models another one is Bias Peak http://www.bias-inc.com/ that's *the* soundedtior on the macOS which also does recording metering does not seem to be accurate on quadra-av models but are correct on Pmac's there's a lite version (just $99 if i recall correctly) which should satisfy your needs and the 3rd program i could thing of is ProTools http://www.Digidesign.com/ that's *the* professional multitrack harddiskrecording software which, in incarnation of an older version, digidesign has turned to freeware you can use it natively on a powermac 2) editing: at the moment there's imho just one real good soundeditor, namely Bias Peak http://www.bias-inc.com/ and you might want to equalize, remove crackles and noise, aka processing your soundfiles Peak supports Premiere Plugins and there a set of wonderful plugins for audioprocessing which are: waves http://www.waves.com/ this is a set of several plugins that do equalizing, compression and maximizing especially the eq's are among the best available aboretum http://www.arboretum.com/ especially interesting for your application might be RayGun which is a specialized de-noise/de-crackle plugin at a very cheap prize and/or it's big brother "Ionizer" which actually is a mutliband/multispectrum expander/compander/gate with the ability to use "fingerprinting", i.e.: by the use of taking a snapshot of the spectral dynamics of your noise signature you can exactly remove the noise parts of your soundfile without harming the other spectrums there's also a shareware programm called "SoundHack" http://shoko.calarts.edu/~tre which does a lot of the above "magic" C) CD BURNING imo, the way to go is Adaptec JAM http://www.adaptec.com/ since it supports DAO/TAO (disk at once/track at once) modes which is the standard for "legal" audio cd's (red book, orange book) for example only with JAM you will be able to define zero second gap's and sub-indeces -Bob D.

Should it not have opened ... or is there an >issue >between Stuffit version 5.0 and DropStuff 4.5? I've been waiting for this... Please feel free to correct me as appropriate. I upgraded to Stuffit Deluxe 4.5 and saw that my downloads would not recursively (sp?) delete the .hqx file that was sent upon download. A minor nuisance but not acceptable from the quality products that Aladdin usually produces. I wrote Aladdin about this *feature* and received recognition that I was accurate in my assessment. I've been waiting for the upgrade, and waiting... I've seen no upgrade to correct this *feature*. Sure, I can call Key Quencer to handle the unstuff and delete the .hqx file, but I've alread paid the upgrade charge to Aladdin. Why should I rely on KQ (or another scripting action) to accomplish what Stuffit 4.0 was able to do without question?! Now, I understand there's an upgrade fee of $15/US to obtain DropStuff 5.0? Furthermore, Stuffit Expander 5 will not, reportedly, work unless the upgrade fee is paid. So I'm expected to pay for an upgrade which didn't work in a previous version?! Wha??!! Obtaining the latest Stuffit Expander used to be a no-brainer. What gives here? Am I off base in my assessment of this situation? This is not the usual quality that I have come to expect from the folks at Aladdin. Is version 5 the kiss of death for software companies, or what? Now Utils bit the big one around v5.

Connections have ranged from 44.0 to 50.0 that's almost twice as fast as my old 28.8 (which I could never get to stay connected reliably anyway, I don't think the chipset/ARA script supported 100% V.32) Those who AREN'T getting what they are paying for are those who pay full price for the Mac version Megahertz card from 3com/USR. What a scam!!! This card is EXACTLY the same card you would get if you bought a PC Megahertz 56k card. Except, the PC card cost $199 and comes with fax, terminal emulation and speakerphone/answering machine software. The Mac card cost $229 and comes with Delrina Fax lite, thats it! Why pay $30 dollars more for stripped down version of the same thing? I still have my Fax Lite from my 28.8 card (still in the shrink wrap :-/) I got mine on ebay and payed $109 NIB (new in box) I have to admit the tech support people at USR/3com were very helpful, but if you are going to use a Mac today your just gonna have to develop these survival skills.

I have seen a Mac shareware app called "NetClip" version 1.0, dated 1991 by Chris Meyer of Fremont CA. This app allows two Macs (both running the app, and both with program linking turned on) to be able to write to each other's clipboards. The program seems to run under OS 8.0, but it's kind of clunky (really quite nice, though, for a version 1.0 that was written 7 years ago). Does anyone know of an e-mail address for the author? Is there a later version? Any other similar programs? I use two networked Macs in my office, one primarily for work and the other primarily for web browsing. I'd love a really simple efficient way to be able "copy" something on one Mac and then "paste" it on the other. There must be a trillion ways to accomplish this using clipping files, applescript, shared network folders, e-mail, Timbuktu, etc. I can think of a few dozen. But I'd like something that is as close as possible to "cmd-c" on one machine and "cmd-v" on the other using a minimum of external software.
