Update on info-mac uploads browser (qvt.hqx)

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 22:50:59 -0800

Date: Sat, 10 Oct 92 15:02:05 EDT QVT is a DEC VT220 Terminal Emulator for the Mac. It works well under both System 6.0x and System 7.0. QVT supports international diacritical characters and most file transfer protocols such Kermit, Xmodem, Ymodem, and MacBinary. #### TEXT skim-11-unix.txt **** Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1993 13:57:18 GMT This is a slightly improved version of the skim Unix program recently posted by Craig Nevill-Manning . This version also inserts the necessary 'cd' and 'get' commands so that you can feed the resulting script directly into FTP. I have sumex-aim in my .netrc file, so that all I need to do after the skim is to type the following command to get the tagged files: ftp sumex-aim.stanford.edu < download Craig Nevill-Manning 's program description: > >I wrote this quick Unix program for browsing info-mac digests. I try to keep >up with the new uploads to sumex, but it's a tedious, repetitive process to >actually download the stuff I want.

Type y if you want to download it, and #### TEXT skim-unix.txt **** Date: Thu, 25 Nov 93 18:06:58 +1300 This is a new version of skim.c, a C program to ease the process of downloading programs listed in the info-mac digest. The latest modifications allow the site to be changed to a mirror site, and the directory accordingly. Thanks to Robert Watkins (bob@nutmeg.cs.ntu.edu.au) for these additions! -------------------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------------------ /* To compile this program, first modify the #defines.

Terminal 2.2 (terminal-22.hqx)

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 22:50:59 -0800

Date: Mon, 13 Apr 92 23:55:11 -0700 Attached below please find version 2.2 of Terminal, written by Erny Tontlinger. I have tested that the program compiles correctly and runs. I can be reached as bob@beamlab.ps.uci.edu. I'm sending this in via dialup slip, so any "from" address in the header won't work. Here is the author's description: Terminal 2.2 compact powerful serial communication program. Scrollable capture buffer. Continous capture to and send from TEXT file. Software or hardware handshake. XModem, YModem, ZModem, QuickB file transfer. Automatic MacBinary format recognition, offline extraction, creation. Builtin C interpreter executes scripts from TEXT files (modem-setup auto-logon BBS). Text string macros. Program is free. C source available. Source is included, and I might add that Terminal 2.2 supports the CommToolBox under Think C 5.0.2. Path: /www/exparrot/files.tidbits.com/info-mac/comm/term/terminal-22.hqx

1stBBS Remote User (first-remote-user.hqx)

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 22:39:59 -0800

Date: 13 Apr 92 13:28:00 EDT Hello netters. In my search for a BBS that our local MAC users group could use on our LocalTalk/Ethernet/Broadband system I ran across 1stBBS. It is kinda a long story but those of you who "remember" 128k of RAM might remember 1stBase, the first (I think) relational database for the MAC. That company (resold) still exists (sorta, their primary business is TUBING FABRICATION) and offer an inter sting line of communication products that might be of interest to MUG's and Mac BBS operators. Attached is the remote required to access the company's (1stDESK) "FREE" BBS via 800 number. 1-800-232-4283. Good Luck. Norm INTERNET: nsteffen@tecnet1.jcte.jcs.mil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The whole thing must really "MAC LIKE" because I got it running before reading the READ ME which is also attached. After UNBINHEXing and UnStuffing. Double click on the "1stDESK Settings" Icon. Then edit the two "Settings..." (User & Connection) selections under the EDIT menu. CONNECTION Settings: You gotta figure that one out yourself but is is really pretty "MAC LIKE" :-) if you know how your modem is set. You will have to modify the number dialed if you going through a PBX or such..... USER Settings: The system password is not used. You pick you own USERNAME. ->It is requested that users who get this from info-mac and down ->stream use the password "norm" when initially configuring. This ->will aid 1st Desk in a head count they want. After your initial ->access feel free to change you password.

[*] UnARJ 2.21 Decompression Utility for the Mac (unarj-221.hqx)

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 19:11:53 -0800

Date: Mon, 13 Jul 92 21:49:53 -0400 [The following is the .doc file with UnARJ 2.21 for the Mac:] Unarjmac is a simple port of Robert Jung's unarj.c to the Mac. It is a MINIMAL PORT; that is it makes absolutely minimal use of Mac features. The reason for this was to minimize the intrusiveness of source code changes into unarj.c, which will make future updates by Robert Jung easy to keep up with. UnarjMac does not currently support macintosh path names or creator/type application linking. Therefore it must be run from the folder your arj file is in. Assuming you have the file archive.arj in your folder with unarj, to process the file you must first launch unarj. You will be presented a dialog that will let you specifiy a command line that will be accepted by unarj. The command line operations available are: UNARJ archive[.arj] (list archive) UNARJ e archive (extract archive) UNARJ l archive (list archive) UNARJ t archive (test archive) UNARJ x archive (extract with pathnames) UNARJ (display help screen) Questions about the Mac implementation may be sent to Eric Larson at 1:260/330@Fidonet.

It's fairly old and may or may not be compatible with later hardware and systems (It does work on an SE/30 running system 6.05.) but since a recent search of the archives turned up NO shareware or freeware Tektronix emulators and since it will be referenced in the forthcomin FAQ for comp.sys.mac.comm I thought, I'd upload it. $50 shareware.

All replies have been edited by me for clarity, so I take responsibility for errors etc. Opinions expressed belong to the original author. Between posting and getting the replies back, I contacted Xerox EuroParc and Xerox Parc to find out whether the 'inventor' of Smalltalk (Adele Goldberg) still worked for them. They pointed me to her new company, ParcPlace Systems.

Date: Mon, 23 Nov 92 10:13:32 PST This is a new version of Marker Control, a control panel that causes files in THINK C to be marked and their window positions saved. NEW VERSION v0.6b % Fixed a bug where if you had the "Only Mark Files Newer Than:" option OFF and moved a window without making any changes to it, it set the modified date of the associated file to some time in the early 1900s. % Made it so that window positions and sizes are saved even if you close the windows with "Close All" or by quitting THINK C. Before, they were only saved if you actually used "Close" from the File menu. % Now functions that contain function prototypes as parameters are marked. Executive Summary ----------------- % Save window positions in THINK C. % Mark functions in source files. % Drop RMarker ControlS onto your System Folder and restart. Open the RMarker ControlS control panel to configure its operation. % Run THINK C and notice the difference. - Window positions are saved (open a file, move its window, close it, reopen it to try this out) - Command-click on the title bar of source file windows to see a list of the functions in that file. % #pragma mark // to mark things other than functions % #pragma markOff // turn marking off until the end of the file or a #pragma markOn % #pragma markOn // turn marking back on Brought to you by Troy Anderson tla@netcom.com Path: /www/exparrot/files.tidbits.com/info-mac/dev/sym/think-c-marker-control-06b.hqx
