Subject: [*] BatMac StartupScreen Revised

Included is the BatMac StartupScreen revised. The last BatMac StartupScreen
worked fine but was submitted with the file name being in lower case and
this was causing some users confusion on its use. This version contains a
folder with the StartupScreen inside ready to be used without modifying the
file name.
Simply drop it in your system folder.

Subject: [*] Bible Dictionary(5Versions)

Bible User Dictionary Modules for Common Word Processors:

Enclosed in this file are a series of Bible User Dictionary modules for
use with common word processors.

Modules are enclosed for Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Nisus, all Claris
programs, and a generic module (text-only) that can be imported into any
other program.

Five different Bible version modules are available for each of the above
word processors:

* The New American Standard Bible (NASB)
* The New International Version (NIV)
* The Revised Standard Version (RSV)
* The King James Version (KJV)
* The New King James Version (NKJV)

These different modules are needed because different Bible versions spell
certain words differently, especially in regard to proper names and
geographical locations. You can use the module (or modules) of the
version(s) you regularly use.

The NIV module has some 3300 unique words (that is, words that are not
found in normal spell checking programs). The KJV module has well over 5500
unique words. In each case, the modules should make spell-checking your
documents much simpler!

Consult your program manual for instructions on installing and/or
activating these modules.

PLEASE NOTE that there is a $5 shareware fee to cover the many, many hours
it took to construct these modules.

Please send your fee to:

Subject: [*] Flex Processor 1.2

Flex Processor 1.2

Requires:  Mac II or better, Midi interface, Midi keyboard

The new version of Flex Processor includes event triggering that allows you
to play licks automatically by triggering them from selected notes on you
keyboard.

Flex Processor 1.2 is a gesture synthesizer.  It simulates interaction with
musical instruments by using a number of sophisticated methods to modify
pitch bend and other Midi controller data.  It is possible to play realistic
musical gestures or "licks" using standard control operators like joysticks
and wheels, or trigger licks automatically from selected notes on your
keyboard.  It has a modular programming architecture similar to that of a
tone synthesizer.  This is a fully operational demo that times out after 15
days or 20 launches.  Please read the manual Introduction before trying to
use the program.

the GoMac Windows 95-style taskbar, minor tweaks to windows and buttons,

"Siete" is a Color Scheme for Kaleidoscope.  It's intent is to display
impressive graphics, but at the same time, not to overwhelm the user.  We
all know there's apoint where a scheme can have too much for the eye take
in, and the scheme becomes distracting.

I guess that the mail client didn't decode quoted printable characters and
left the as =E4 etc.

AFAIK, the only way the decode QP text is to use Eudora and fool it to
check mail from your local harddisk. From the mac-internet-faq:

<http://www.walli.uwasa.fi/~mhaveri/mac-internet-faq.txt>

It is possible to let Eudora decode MIME, QP and attachments from
sendmail-like-files on your local HD (ftpd from the POP spool or unix
mail-directory, for example). To do that, you can suck the mail into Eudora
as if the mbox file is a POP spool. Just set your POP account in Eudora's
settings to: "!volume:directory:directory:filename" (replacing names
appropriately according to your HD's and its directories names) and Eudora
will receive the mail as if it came from a POP server (note that the
input-file's linebreaks must be in mac format and that its contents are
deleted in the process so make a copy of it before you try). This also
automatically breaks >32k messages into smaller chunks.

If you set the SMTP server to
"!volume!volume:directory:directory:!filename!0000" you can also test-post
to the local harddrive (every outgoing mail-file is stored in separate file
with names such as D.*00001, D.*00002 etc with accompanying log files
X.*00001, X.*00002 etc).

Q: I received Quoted Printable characters (in listserv messages etc) - how
can I decode them?
A: See above how to let Eudora get mail from your local harddrive. Add the
following headers (modified to your needs if necessary) to the QP-encoded
message(s) and check mail:

Subject: [a] Decode MIME-messages manually

I'd like to add to my previous post that also YA-Base64 and Mpack decode
MIME or base64. If the headers are corrupted you may have to edit them with
a text editor.

Subject: disk driver software and Norton Speed Disk

Hi.

I have recently obtained Norton Utilities for Macintosh (version
3.5).  I am using a Mac Performa 5200CD, running System 7.5.5.
The only hard disk on the system is the one that came with it, an
Apple 800 meg hard drive.

Before running Norton Speed Disk, I have been advised to update the
SCSI Driver with the latest version of its formatting software.

I have been told to look at the various Apple download sites to see if
there is any newer version.  System 7.5.5 is the latest version of
System 7.5 (I'm probably not going to go to 7.6.x).  I didn't see any
standalone formatting software.

Is it safe for me to go ahead and optimize my hard drive?  Thanks.

Subject: LaserWriter 8.4.1

Hi.

I am using a Performa 5200CD, running System 7.5.5.  Said computer has
a built-in 15" display.  My printer is a LaserWriter Select 300.  I
have just upgraded to LaserWriter 8.4.1.

(1) PrintMonitor no longer seems to be around.  Is it only available
    through Desktop PrintMonitor, i.e., double-clicking the desktop
    printer? 

(2) I don't see 2-up and 4-up printing options available in the Page
    Setup.  Is there some other way of getting these?

(3) May I get rid of the PPD files for printers that I don't have?

(4) What is the point of ColorSync?  Since I don't have a color
    printer, can I trash same?  If I need it for some reason, can I
    trash all of the ColorSync Profiles except for the one that I
    really need?  If the latter is the case, may I assume that the
    only one I really need is "Apple Performa Display"?

Thanks.
