Like your needs, Tilery gives me little tiles with recognizable icons and no names cluttering up my desktop. Easily identify/switch between running applications because tiles appear for them where I want them and go away when the app quits (or stick around if I want). Tilery is an unobtrusive, configurable, color coded, drag-n-drop aware, patchless (always available even on a SHIFT reboot), freeware application. It can be found on most info-mac archives or by writing the author at . No, I'm not related to the author. It's just a cool app to have.

Microsoft Corp. recently announced that it will temporarily be offering its Visual C++ Cross-Development Edition for Apple Macintosh. This product helps Windows developers take their existing source code and modify it to create Mac OS applications--in some cases, simply by recompiling their source code. A competitive upgrade version of the product, "available to any developer with a Windows- or Macintosh-hosted C or C++ development system, or any existing cross-platform tool kit," will be available in stores starting on June 14 for the $199 price.

If you want an ARA user to be able to TCP/IP stuff, you need another piece of Apple sofware: IP Gateway. Do a search at info.apple.com for "IP Gateway" in the Tech Library. My Mac dialin to my ARA server. My LAN has Internet access. Because of the IP Gateway running on one of the machines on my LAN, my ARA users can access the 'net. I thought the next version of ARA was to allow MS-DOS dialin, but Apple tech support tells me I'm misinformed (that was as of today). €The 7.5.3 System updater has a 'printer share' extension located in the printer software updates section. This is specificaly designed to make previosly non-networkable printers such as the StyleWriterII networkable. €Domain Name problems? There is a file in your System Folder, created by the MacTCP control panel called "MacTCPdnr." Toss it and reboot. The control panel will magically put a new one there on startup. Everything should work fine (and you thought it would be tough). What happens (move on if you don't care) is that the file is the "domain name resolver," hence dnr, and it tells the program (Netscape et al) where to look for a domain name server, or DNS. When it gets corrupted, it messes with your mind (as it has mine for a while). €Internet Hardware Purchases There are mail order stores such as and auction sites with some good value deals like €Mac Equivalent to Surfbot From: nick@cs.adelaide.edu.au (Nick Capon) To: apple-internet-users@solutions.apple.com I asked whether there is a mac equivalent for Surfbot, which checks whether URLs have changed since the last enquiry. It appears that the answer is a qualified No. Several people pointed out that there is a network service at http://www.netmind.com/URL-minder/URL-minder.html (which I do use). However it accepts one URL per submission, with no facility to accept lists of URLs. I wanted something to handle a long list of URls, to be run irregularly when I wanted it. Paul Schinder points out that there is also a Perl script, but no user friendly interface is available for non Perl users. There is a heavy weight answer (apparently) in Web Arranger, but I haven't yet understood how. The web page says that the manual is still being written, due RSN, and that might be a solution. But it is far from a simple checker. And from Michel Eytan mailto:eytan@dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr: There is in beta-test a product from MicroMat (manufacturers of TechTool, MacEKG, Drive Tech) that does this for free over the Net. €Uploading files with Fetch Hold down the option-key when you hit the "put file" box in Fetch and always choose binary. This will bring up a dialogbox in witch you you can choose the formats you want your files to be uploaded. Use only RAW for text and your other files, this will ensure you that your files will be uploaded precisely the way you made them. €Applescript for automating search & replace with BBEdit I've set the script to ask you to choose a search folder, but you can change this to suite your needs. The scrip then asks the Finder for a list of the files in the search folder. There are two 'tricks' here. The first is the "entire contents of" specifier that tells the Finder to search the specified folder, and ALL nested folders. Remove this if you don't want to search the sub folders. The second is a way of getting a list of aliases back from the finder. The Finder does the right thing and returns a list of aliases, but there is a bug in AppleScript that tries to coerce the returned list into an alias. This fails (of course), but we can still get the results we need by using a try/on error block. Next we repeat through the list of files we got from the Finder, telling BBEdit to open each of them in turn. When each file is open, we repeat through our search/replace lists. When all the searches are finished, we close the file, saving changes. Hope this helps, and maybe even gives you a few ideas for your own scirpts.

A "pair gainer" is a type of multiplexing device that the phone company will sometimes install when a customer has requested a second line, and no extra copper pair is available to serve the new line. By multiplexing both lines on a single copper pair, the phone company saves considerable expense in pulling in new wire, and gets the service going very quickly, and generally this a good solution all around when all the customer wants is a second voice line, or maybe even a fax line. Unfortunately, the "pair gain" multiplexer requires very sharp bandwidth filters to keep the two multiplexed channels from crossing over into one another, and a V.34+ modem such as the Teleport Platinum needs every bit of bandwidth in a regular 3Khz voice channel it can get, and then some. Your modem and the "pair gainer" " fight" each other (logically, not physically) every time you initiate a call, and the modem _always_ "gives in" by falling back to a lower speed when it is negotiating a call, because its adaptive channel capacity logic detects the very sharp filters in the "pair gainer" and interpets them as a poor quality line. So, basically everything is working just fine, you're just not happy with the result! Here's what I suggest you do. Call back the repair department, and tell them you are still having trouble sending _faxes_ (don't mention your modem, they aren't going to get excited if your high speed modem doesn't work right, say that you can't send _faxes_), and tell them someone told you to ask if your service was supplied via "a multiplex or 'pair gain' device." They may take a day or so to check, but if the answer is yes, you have found the problem! You can probably get them to pull in another real copper circuit (in some states, they must do so at no charge, if a customer requests it, but this varies according to local tariffs and regs), and your problems will largely disappear. One other thing they might check for that would cause similar problems if your house is far from the Central Office, is what are called "loading coils." Load coils are frequency equalization devices used on long run branch circuits to improve voice transmission quality, but they can't be dealt with well by V.34+ modems, and will result in the same problems. Bad news is, if your problem is loading coils, there is not much you or the phone company can do easily :-(. If your house is more than 10 years old, there is also a very small chance that your problems are caused by a kind of carbon stack lightning arrestor installed on your line at your demarcation point, but this is something most competent repair guys will check and fix right away... Lotsa luck! And, I'm sorry about this long post to the list, but these are common problems worth mentioning occasionally where people can see them. Cheers!

If nothing comes back .. AppleScript finally reports a timeout error.... To lenghten (or shorten) the time a command or series of commands waits for the reply, you can surround those statements with the *with timeout* statement. The syntax is: with timeout [of] *numberOfSeconds* seconds [s] [statement] end [timeout] . with timeout of 300 seconds (* time-consuming statements *) end timeout And specifically for Eudora: Go to ftp.qualcomm.com and get the Eudora Notify Kit. Sample scripts and "start notifying" and "stop notifying" applets. Just drop your script app onto one of them and it sends Eudora the command. It works just fine, but there are a couple of caveats. 1) Eudora only notifies applications and it does so by signature. Since the Script Editor is different than applets and all applets have the same creator, using either of this is not advised. You should create an applet and give it a unique creator before registering it. 2) You need the Eudora Notification Rev 2 osax. This will give you the ability to write the "on notice" handler without any futzing around. €Free alternative to ARA or Timbuktu by Farallon Farralon's "Look@Me" can be found at their website, is free.

Jackson) To: Subscribers to In addition to "java-enabling" its applications, Corel is developing an office suite codenamed, Corel Office JV, written entirely in Java and available by the end of 1996. This will make the apps truly cross platform and able to run on any Java-enabled browser such as Netscape Nav 2.0, including the newly announced Network Computer (NC). WordPerfect (the main document container), Quattro Pro, Corel Chart, etc. will be platform independent, completely rewritten in Java. Everyone at the JavaOne Conference saw this announcement as a major challenge to Microsoft. Unfortunately, the Corel company is very PC oriented. They need to have a Mac Blitz of e-mail to make them realize the opportunity that Word 6 has opened in the Mac market and the opportunity for their new Java-enabled applications to Mac people. Corel also announced a new publishing engine - Barista - which allows publishers to create documents based entirely on Java, without any requirements for programming. This will first appear as publishing options in WP; postcript to Barista filter is also under development which will let users move legacy files onto the new platform. If interested, I have the specs on Barista as released by Corel at their news conference. €Set v. Copy in Applescript Normally they are indistinguishable, but they aren't always. Set makes a reference, which looks just like the original when used with a variable, while copy actually copies the thing. In the case of a script object, it only copies the instance, not the code, so that works the way you think it should too. €Incompatibility with AppleScript and the Debug Memory Manager 1.0.5.

These packages are our equivalent of the toolbox calls and utilize the Java Virtual Machine (VM) to provide the interface between the language and the current hardware/OS. Because Java is OOP, the classes can be extended to provide for native support to a host OS, primarily thru the *.peer classes. The language and the classes are usually refered to as a single entity when they really aren't.

When Apple Guide IS loaded in the extension folder FreePPP runs just Fine. Even stranger is if Apple Guide is moved out of the extension folder and a RESTART is done (not a Shut down) then FreePPP still works.

Rich Sena hi sandy - the "insuff memory to load FreePPP" may be similar to a prob i've seen with "ppp" (i know it behaves a little different now) but try putting a space in front of "MacTCP" so that ist loads first - if freeppp2.5 shares this attribute with its predesessors then it loads with MacTCP and loading it first will solve this problem From: shaws@ott.hookup.net (Sandy Shaw) Ok renaming MACPPP2.06 to have a space as the first character seems to have fixed the problem. €More on Mac Equivalent to Surfbot PageWatch! PageWatch is a mail-based service that keeps an eye on web pages for you. In a nutshell, you simply send an email message to PageWatch with the URL of the page you wish to track. PageWatch will check your web page everyday. If that page is updated, you'll be sent email letting you know the page has something new to look at. Since this is a server-based application, it doesn't matter what kind of computer you use. You just need to have some kind of email program to send the URL to PageWatch. Here's the syntax: setPage URL Platform "SetPage" tells MicroDomo that you would like to add a page to PageWatch. "URL" is the page address you wish to track. "Platform" is the computer type you're using. We ask for the platform so that we can track useage based on computer type.

The solution is that you should call you phone company and tell them you think you have dirty lines and you especially have problems when calling the phone number of your Internet Provider (and give them that number). David Brouda E-mail - dave@brouda.com, dbrouda@netaxs.com I'd just like to second this suggestion. A friend of mine was having similar problems. When I set the modem to keep the speaker on after it connected, the problem was obvious. Through the speaker you could quite clearly hear a local radio station! The solution was to have the phone company add special filtering on the incoming line. (Specifically a notch filter tuned to the station's frequency.) Kurt Kohler Email: €US Robotics 28.8 Sportster advice There was a bad chip on such modems MANUFACTURED BEFORE April 95. To check, in a terminal mode, enter Command ATI1 (letter i) 1 (number one) .....ATI1. If the number is 1288 it is the modified chip. (I think the faulty one was 1280) ATI7 will tell you the details of the manufacture of the modem. The date you are looking to check is the supervisor date., which should be after April 95. Issuing ATI6 will give you a report on the last session. Check if the modem had to retrain at all (an indication of line noise) An ideal link should have 0 blers As to modem strings you might want to look at B0E1F1&A3&B1&C1&D2&G2&H1&I0&K3&N14&R2&S1 Bear in mind that I live in the UK therefore have &G2 if you live in the US you will not need this (it should default to &G2 in the VRAM settings) Another nifty part of the string is &N14. This will FORCE the modem to initiate a 28800bps connection. If it cannot be achieved it will drop the line rather than continue. &N0 will allow it to negotiate its own speeds. The AT command is not normally used in a PPP connection with a US Robotics Modem (nor is the ^M command) Mike Kelly, mike@m-kelly.demon.co.uk €Modem Diagnostic Advice in General * Try to borrow another modem of the same make from somebody. If that helps, then your modem is probably broken. * Try to borrow a modem of a different make but the same speed from somebody. If that helps, then either your modem is broken or USR modems don't work with your ISP or your phone line. * Try borrowing a modem cable from someone who gets good connections. If that helps, then your cable might be defective. * Try using your modem from somebody else's computer. If that helps, then your phone line might be the problem. * Try plugging your modem directly into your telephone network interface jack (the place where the phone wire comes into your house). If that helps, then you might have bad wires or improperly connected wires in the house. €OnLine Banking Problem The "reason" that Macintosh users "can not use" the electronic banking is based on a decision by your bank not to support Macintosh users UNTIL the macintosh version of Quicken supports both On-line Banking (which it now does) AND On-line Bill Payments (which it does not yet). Some banks have decided to delay all support for the macintosh until they can support both.

Well, you BinHex it. this will add a .hqx to the end of it. That combines all three forks into a single data fork that is safe to send through the lines. MacBinary os also a possibility. It does the same, but adds a .bin to the end. There are others, like Base64 (adds a .b64), but they aren't allways 100% compatible with all mail systems.

Why OpenTransport didn¹t work for me. Simply installing 7.5.3 is not enough. You then need to physically make the switch from MacTCP to TCP/IP. That is, you should have used the Network Software Selector application in order to switch from Classic Networking to Open Transport. This application resides inside the Apple Extras folder which the 7.5.3 updater placed on your hard drive. Once you use the selector, you then need to go to the Chooser, select AppleShare, turn on AppleTalk, and restart your computer. After restart, you will find that you no longer have an active MacTCP in the Control Panels folder, but have TCP/IP instead. Open up MacTCP/IX from the control Panels click on the "Options" box ,on the bottom right hand side of the window,. In the new window check Make TCP "Active" and check "Load only when needed".
