Dear Digest readers,
A previous poster had asked if it was possible to find direct links 
to the archived files on info-mac.   Well 
http://digester.et.tudelft.nl/frames/ has the digest viewed as a 
webpage with links on archived documents.   Additional mirror sites 
for the archived public domain software of info-mac

Subject: [*] DataMover 1.1.1 -- move data between Hypercard and other databases

Although Hypercard by its very nature is structured as a database, there
has been no universal way to move data back and forth between Hypercard
and other databases ů until now. DataMover is designed to move data
between Hypercard stacks and databases such as FileMaker or Palm
applications like JFile or HanDBase ů or even an Excel file or MS Word
table. With this stack you can extract data from any other stack into a
text file, with user-defined field and record delimiters. Such text
files (the most commonly used type of which is the CSV or
"comma-separated values" format) can be read or imported by FileMaker or
Excel or converted by easily available applications to your favorite
Palm database format. DataMover can also import data from CSV files (or
similar text files using other delimiters) generated by any database
into any suitably designed Hypercard stack.

In fact, you can also transfer data from one stack to another. Export
data from selected fields in one stack as a delimited text file, then
import some or all of it into a second stack. DataMover allows you to
move data between any two stacks ů even very different ones ů without
having to custom-script a solution.

The Kurzweil Companion is your remote interface to the best keyboards 
in existence, the Kurzweil K2500/K2600!
The Companion allows you to control your K2500/K2600 from your 
Macintosh. This both saves wear and tear on the K2500/K2600 buttons) 
and it allows you to work more efficiently.
Take the simplest task on your Kurzweil. You've just created a new 
program, or layed down the first track in a sequence. The K2500/K2600 
wants a name for this new object, and you sit there for 5 minutes 
spinning the data wheel or pecking at the keypad to enter "Rad Piano" 
or "Techno Song".
Forget it! Now just reach over to your Mac keyboard and type on a 
normal keyboard!
And that's just the start. The Companion allows you to see your 
K2500/K2600 screen remotely, allows you to enter numeric data for 
things like frequencies, select programs from a complete, searchable 
list instead of 8 crowded lines, export the list of objects in your 
machine, and more and more!
The Companion also adds some additional MIDI controllers, a ribbon, 
an X-Y touchpad, and so on.

Brought to you by C.K. Haun and Ravenware Software. The Kurzweil 
Companion is free.
System requirements: Any Macntosh running System 7.5 or later (68K or 
PowerPC). The Companion works with the OMS MIDI software package 
(freely available from OpCode) or the latest FreeMIDI in OMS 
emulation mode from MOTU. A two-way MIDI connection between your Mac 
and K2500/K2600.

Subject: [*] TimeZonesHC 1.08 / HyperCard stack time in ALL timezones including DST


This HyperCard stack by Oscar van Vlijmen can show the time in ALL known
time zones, taking the daylight saving time (summertime) into account.
Enter a time, set a few time zones, and this stack will compute the correct
time in the set time zones. From base time to zone time and vice versa.
If you enter a date as well, the correct daylight saving time corrections
(summertime) are taken into account.
This version can show up to 12 timezones simultaneously.

This stack is a Macintosh application of the TZ UNIX timezone database, but
only for the current timezone information, not the historical information.
This stack is updated from TZdata2001a.

What is so special about this stack?
* You can find information about ALL known time zones of the world. The
database has 411 zone cards.
* ALL known information about daylight saving time (summertime) is
included.
* Calculations are made with a precision of one minute, even in the case of
a transition from summer time to  winter time (or vice versa) right now.
* The information is extremely up to date.
* You can study and change all information yourself, nothing is hidden.

Freeware; not to be used for commercial applications; not on CD-ROM's.

I had the same experience (although different hardware). I suspect an
extension conflict but have not bothered to isolate it because a fix I
discovered is easier. When you place the blank CD-R in the Read light
flashes. As soon as the light stops flashing you have a window of a few
seconds to click "Write" within Toast. Don't wait too long or the blank CD-R
will eject and you'll get an error message.
Of course if anyone knows the reason Richard and I are seeing this problem
please chime in.

      -Postscript printing.
      -Ability to receive faxes and transfer them to computer as a file.
      -compatible with Macintosh.

There is flexibility in the following:

      -Can be laser or inkjet.  Laser is preferred though.
      -May or may not offer option to scan documents into computer files.

I looked at the Canon LaserClass 3170 series and they seem too bulky in

Hi folks:

I have a brand new Titanium Powerbook G4 communicating nicely with an 
Airport base station, which is connected to my high speed (T-1) 
wireless (802-11b) internet provider through an Ethernet hub. Also 
attached to the hub is my older G3 Beige tower.

Both computers talk fine (and fast) to the internet, but I have not 
been able to network them to talk to each other. I have read and 
tried to properly use Apple's official PDF on the matter: "Designing 
Airport Networks," but no luck. In general, I am a Mac expert, so I 
should not be having this problem. :-)

Can anyone help?

I configured Fetch 3.0.3 under Customize->Preferences->Mirrors to use
ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/info-mac for info-mac files.  There are many
other mirrors of course.

To retrieve a file I just cut the pathname from the email program (i.e.,
the part starting with /info-mac and ending with .hqx), launch Fetch, and
hit Command-V to paste it into Fetch's New Connection... dialog.  It
detects I'm pasting an info-mac path and fills in the host and path
correctly and I just hit return.

Not sure I understand your problem.  There's no need to write anything down.
Just highlight the link with your mouse cursor, Copy it into your clipboard (use
Cmd-C), then highlight the URL address field near the top of your browser (or
use Cmd-L for its "Open URL" command), and Paste the link into your browser with
Cmd-V.

Subject: Info-Mac Digest V18 #51

ORIGINAL:  From:  Alex Brown <abrown@nimr.mrc.ac.uk>
Could anyone tell me of a program that would allow me to convert
postscript (.ps) files into PICT (or even JPEG) graphics.

JIM HUSKEY-->> First, some questions. How did you obtain the .ps file? That 
is, did you or someone print to disk? (save as PostScript?)  If so, I'd 
recommend you return to the original application and the source file (the 
one that got printed as a .ps file). If it's something like Illustrator 
(maybe FreeHand? my current version is 5.5), then you can actually save the 
file as a PICT or JPG or TIFF file.
        If you can't do anything in the above paragraph and you actually 
have a .ps dump, then I believe you can place it into InDesign (and maybe 
Illustrator 8/9?), and the PostScript parser will generate a new 
viewable/vector file. Then you can save it as TIFF (Illustrator) or 
something similar. Or if you have InDesign, save as EPS, then open in 
Illustrator and ...... (Or save it as PDF...)
     Again, if it truly is a .ps file, you can run it through something like 
Adobe Distiller and turn it into a PDF file.
     Now, if you have an EPS rather than a .ps, then your options are 
similar and greater.
    How this helps. If not, give me some more info, and I'll talk with 
someone at Adobe to see if we can't make something work. (If the file is 
neither sensitive nor huge, you could send it to me offline, and I'll take a 
look at it.)
   Best,,,,,

Subject: Oracle software on the Macintosh

I am the senior Macintosh analyst at Oracle.

I am interested in hearing from any who are present customers of Oracle
using the Mac as either a client or using the Personal Oracle database.

I am also interested in hearing from those who would become Oracle
customers if Oracle upgraded their software to a recent (Mac OS 9 or X)
version.

Please email me at Rick.Schultz@oracle.com

Aside from laborious copy/paste, is there a way to
extract/save .pdf files to text or doc format so they
can be opened in a text editor/wp?
TIA

A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.

Both Photoshop 5.0 (or later) and Illustrator 8.0 (or later) will open .ps
files and export to different file formats. It's a pretty handy tip to know
when you come across files that have been saved without a preview.

This might be a bit of silly question but....

Could anyone tell me of a program that would allow me to convert
postscript (.ps) files into PICT (or even JPEG) graphics.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Zip drive and old Mac

Hi:
    I have an ancient Mac LC which is serving as a dedicated data 
acquisition machine for a seismometer.  I would like to attach my 
SCSI Zip drive to it, but have been having trouble.

SCSI utilities are able to see the drive at the correct SCSI address, 
and even know the volume name of the disk in the drive.  However, I 
have been completely unsuccessful in getting the volume to mount. 
The LC is running System 7.5.5; is it possible that I need an *older* 
version of the Zip driver in order to be compatible with System 7? 
If so, where would I find it?  The Iomega web site seems to only have 
posted the latest version for download.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

                                                - Greg Lyzenga
