From: ChrisLi@bridge1.com
Subject: 800-SAY-WHAT 3.0.1J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the 800-SAY-WHAT package.
This version requires Mac OS X 10.1 or higher.
Ever get tired of trying to figure out what numbers to dial when you see
those cute 800 numbers such as 1-800-SOS-APPL? Now you can easily decode
the numbers with this handy shareware application from Modessit Software.

From: schram@mail.coos.or.us
Subject: alt.CyberDrive
If you don't know what the BMW CyberDrive promotion is, this file will
do you no good and you may skip to the next message.
This is an alternate opening HTML page for the BMW CyberDrive promotion
made primarily for Mac MS Internet Explorer users who are unable to
access the CyberDrive CD-ROM while online.
It contains links to all the viewable QuickTime and QuickTimeVR movies
hidden on the CyberDrive CD-ROM so you can access them at full speed
whether online or offline. It opens the CyberDrive web site in a
separate browser window so that the movies can be "sort of" integrated
into the total presentation. (I left off a few movies that were not
browser viewable, but have included a text listing of the CD's catalog
if you want to try to extract them.)
I slapped this page together without the knowledge or consent of BMW or
anyone else. It's OK with me to include it in the Info-Mac CD, but be
aware that the CyberDrive promotion ends in July 1997. Enjoy.

#### BINHEX apple-easter-eggs-14.hqx ****
From: IXist@aol.com
Subject: Apple Easter Eggs 1.4
What secrets lurk inside the heart of your Mac? Are you too frightened to
look? I didn't think so.
Grab this self-viewing DocMaker file to discover what those zany Apple
engineers and programmers have hidden inside your Macintosh and Newton. You
may be amazed!
Welcome to the first Easter release of the world's largest collection of
Apple easter eggs. In fact, there are over 200 of them! This is a
compilation of secrets stuffed inside of your Macintosh or Newton by Apple
programmers and engineers, which are not accessible without doing something
that you wouldn't normally do. Easter eggs include random jokes, elaborate
credit screens, or hard-to-find games that are meant to give the creator a
little fame, also adding a personal touch to the best computer on earth.
For Example: One well known easter egg is if you type "secret about box", in
System 7.5, in Stickies and drag it to the desktop. You will be able to play
a game, or you can see and move a virtual flag on the new PCI Macs in System
7.5.2 & 7.5.3. Download this file for more info.
All eggs only apply to Apple Computer made products so any Mac or Newton
owner can try them without having to deal with other software. This file has
been mentioned in MacWorld Magazine, put on CD's, mentioned in books and
E-Zines, was a most popular download on AOL, and is a top download at many
other software sights.
The upgrade: Version 1.4 has all of the eggs in previous versions and plenty
more. I did not have a main focus for this release but there are many
excellent and detailed additions, and even a peek at the first Copland easter
egg. I also fixed spelling, made many corrections, and added roughly 50 more
eggs to the collection. Also, with the release of DocMaker 4.6, there is a
much better interface and I cleaned things up a bit. There are so many
changes I can not list them all. Download this file, look around, and have
fun!
Made with DocMaker, which means it is stand-alone. It requires no other
helper applications but a decompressor. A Newton only list of easter eggs is
also available for all PC owners.

Subject: copy of better-8bit-qt-color.txt for archives
Here you go Igor... Thanks!
----------------------
If you've seen some really beautiful 16 or 24 bit quicktime moovs on someone
else's expensive Mac, and you've seen really beautiful GIF images on your own
piddling 8 bit Mac (256 colors), and you whish you could get the quality of
the later when viewing the former (and you don't mind run-on sentences), then
you've come to the right posting!
This is a simple trick that anyone can do to improve the color of quicktime
moovs on a mac that can only display 256 simultaneous colors. It doesn't
always work, and sometimes it makes them look much worse. But there are lots
of moovs out there that it does help, and hey - it's free!
Background (experienced graphics people can skip this):
Color Macs can actually display over 16 million colors. The trouble is that

#### BINHEX chiron-24.hqx ****
From: CyberDog91@aol.com
Subject: Chiron v2.4 Release Folder 1
Thanks for checking out Chiron v2.4 for the Macintosh. A complete online
manual for dealing with your Macs problems.
WHAT'S NEW?
Over 300 additional system error listings have been added. A chapter
explaining over 20 of the most common system errors is also included at the
request of several users.
WHAT IS CHIRON?
Chiron is a self-running application that contains a wealth of information
helpful to most Macintosh users. This version of Chiron includes information
on the following subjects:
- System Error Code Listings - These chapters list and describe the type of
system errors indicated by the I.D. number in System Error dialogs. Also
includes in depth description of over 20 of the most common errors.
- Virus and Trojan Horse Listing - This chapter lists and explains all
currently known Macintosh virus and trojan horses, plus ways to prevent virus
and trojan horse infections and simple ways to clense your system of those
unwanted viruses.
- Newton Error Codes - This chapter explains what the various error codes
are for Apple's Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
- The Sad Mac - This chapter is very helpful if you can't get a Mac to start
up. Often, if there is a problem with the hardware the Macintosh will
display an error code at start-up time (often referred to as a "Sad Mac").
This describes what the problems these error codes represent on ALL
Macintosh's from the Mac 128k up to the latest models, excluding the
PowerMacs.
- Crash Recovery Strings - This chapter contains all the information I could
find on using your Macintosh's programmer switch (see user manual for more
info) to successfully recover from a crash with only minimal damage's.
- How to Avoid Another Bomb - This chapter explains how you can prevent that
dreaded bomb dialog.
IS THIS FREEWARE?
Yep, no charge. I originally compiled this information for my own personal
reference. But, at the request of several Mac Users I have posted it online.

Subject: [!]CompUSA 10% restocking return policy for Apple products found on
Hi,
The evening of May 22nd, while beta testing (i.e. playing) Apple's eWorld, I
drilled down through Computer Center:News & Industry Information:MacWEEK
Online:MacWEEK Round Table:Tips to Mac the Knife and found a "conversation"
regarding how CompUSA has a 10% restocking policy for Apple products! I posted
this note on a Rochester, NY FC BBS (Mac's Last Stand 716-247-9056) and the one
reply todate (last note of this message) makes it seem that this new policy
might be more Apple's than CompUSA's fault. I haven't heard of this new policy
of Apple's affecting other stores. While it is not uncommon for manufacturers
to get very very tough on their suppliers, this is the first time that I have
heard of a sales outlet getting beat up!

The InfoStack is a HyperCard stack used as a troubleshooting aid by
InfoComm's technicians. Much of the contents of the stack is of general
interest to anyone in a PostScript publishing environment. There are
a few details specific to Linotype, Agfa, Iris, Tektronix, and QMS
printers. There is help on both Macintosh and PC issues, as well as
general PostScript questions and several formulas for the graphic arts.
The document is in BinHex format and must also be unstuffed with StuffIt
Deluxe 3. Making it self-extracting or a lower release level would
have made it significantly larger.
InfoComm, located in downtown Chicago, is one of the largest, busiest,
and fastest-growing service bureaus in the world. Today there are 30
technicians working around the clock, pushing through hundreds of jobs
per day, from the simplest paper output to fully imposed 8-up CMYK flats
from high-end OPI drum scans.

Subject: Info-Mac 9 CD-ROM
After several *really* late nights and a lot of Dr. Pepper, I was finally
able to complete the latest Info-Mac CD (this is volume #9). Submissions to
the Info-Mac archive have increased enough that we need to release a 2-CD
set every three to four months. This is fantastic, and we thank all the
Macintosh authors for this success!
Enclosed you will find the two Read Me files (TEXT and HTML versions) from
the CD, as well as a text listing of all programs on the 2-CD set.
Additional information about the Info-Mac IX CD-ROM (and a link to info
about previous Info-Mac CD releases.) can be found on the WWW at

I hope you enjoy the CD!

Subject: JokeMaster
JokeMaster is a massive database (over 100,000 words) of clean but
hilariously funny jokes and stories. JokeMaster is:
* Easy to use. Finds the jokes you need in a user-friendly way.
* A big time-saver. Enables you to quickly find just the joke you need.
* Perfect for public speakers, pastors, youth workers, writers, media
personnel, and everyone who likes to laugh.
* It also has powerful point-and-click navigation features, as well as a
scrollable index with over 600 categories of jokes. Clicking on a
category brings up a full listing of jokes on that topic.
JokeMaster is jam-packed with clean, funny jokes. It contains no
put-downs, no ethnic jokes, nothing sexually offensive, and nothing
morally off-color. The jokes in JokeMaster are appropriate not only for
public speeches, but even for family picnics and sermons at church.
Not only that, JokeMaster contains jokes that are much, much funnier than
those contained in a major competing software product. Some of those
jokes are just plain silly. Only genuinely funny jokes are found in
JokeMaster.
JokeMaster may turn out to be the best unpaid assistant you've ever had!
* No more tedious searching through old joke books.
* No more time lost looking for just the right ice-breaker.

Here are the answers I got (thanks). The consensus seems to be that 1) Macs
are secure on the net and MacTCP talks the same IP as UNIX-boxes and PC's
2) Routers have to be explicitly configured to pass AppleTalk packets on
3) A lone Mac doesn't need to use AppleTalk and, if necessary, AppleTalk
can easily be switched off via the chooser 4) When used, AppleTalk and
protocols like NetBEUI and Windows for Workgroups broadcast their presence
on the net but this shouldn't cause trouble.

Only a `fool' would dare declare that he/she is an expert when
talking about computers. Such a person ranks with Texas weather
forecasters although these guys ought to be admired for attempting to
tame Texas meterology. Only by listening and working with computer
friends can a person advance his/her competency in this exciting field.
`Rymal's Hints from Friends' is a DocMaker application that
should really be titled: "Head-shaking-InterNet-surfers-who-have-saved-
Larry Rymal's-hide-more-than-once-on-getting-his-computer-going-and-
showing-him-how-to-navigate-the-InterNet". It is basically a compilation
of hints and tips from a few of you on the InterNet and on TeNET, the
Texas Education Network. Most of the comments and hints have the
original address, date, and subject header intact, some don't. All have
appeared publically. But, for the most part, these are valuable nuggets
of information and I for one, am very grateful and I'll bet these have
helped thousands upon thousands of folks world-wide as they are shared.
But alas, "Rymal's Hints" is just a meager representation of what
has been posted in the past. A lot of fine folks' comments is not in
this application and it is a pity, too. At any rate, I'm very
appreciative of the e-Help that has been transmitted through the years
and certainly don't take it for granted. Secondly, many of the folks
whom I have assisted locally is a direct result of your aid. So, please,
don't think that your comments are unnoticed, even if they don't show up
in some meager FAQ.
The application has been stuffed, and can be deStuffed and
deHQXed by dropping ontop of the StuffIt Expander. Just click on it

I encountered the problem with printing in Symbol bold a couple of years ago.
For a long time I used a work-arround which consisted of having another copy
of the Symbol screen font called something different, e.g. symbo2, in my
system. When I wanted to print in Symbol bold I used Symbo2 bold instead.
This meant that the system didn't recognise the screen font Symbo2 as
corresponding to the Laser font Symbol. It then used the standard way of
printing fonts not available on the LaserWriter, namely to use the screen font

Subject: Troubleshooting 101 IA
The "Troubleshooting 101 Presentation" is a fully interactive application
designed to help you troubleshoot your Macintosh if it bombs or freezes
under System 6.0 through 7.6. It won't help you with a "Sad Mac" on startup
problem, won't bring back a trashed file, and it won't make your boss give
you a raise, but it just might bail you out of a bad situation. This is
written with a Macintosh novice in mind but contains useful information for
all levels of Macintosh users.
There are two versions of this troubleshooting presentation, but both have
identical content. "Troubleshooting 101 IA.sit" (or "Troubleshooting 101
IA") is the "basic" presentation. "Troubleshooting 101 IA wM.sit" (or
"Troubleshooting 101 IA w MUSIC") contains background music which plays
throughout the presentation.
This is the "Troubleshooting 101 IA" version. It requires a Macintosh with
a 14" monitor and capable of displaying 256 colors or more.
The "Troubleshooting 101 Presentation" was created by the same author of
the "Troubleshooting 101 DA". It is not designed to replace the
"Troubleshooting 101 DA" but to compliment it.

This is the Winecellar of France, a type of wine reference guide. Since I am no
connoisseur, I can only tell you what I belive and have read. Although I don´t
think, any connoisseur could honestly give you anything more. This product is not
'Shareware' but 'Wineware' so if you like it and wish to get updates and new
"Winecellars" ("Winecellars" of Germany, Spain and Italy are being researched)
you must send me a bottle of wine, preferably a local wine since that will make
it more interesting. Wine inclusive of transport should not have a value
excessive of 10$-30$, well unless you relly want to give me more that is. Please
mark the box you mail it in "FRAGILE" for safety reasons.

Subject: Year 2000 brochure updated
I uploaded a PDF file of a brochure with information regarding the Year
2000 problem. I didn't realize that the PDF file was unable to use
margins smaller than .25 inch, and it cut off the edge. Please replace
the earlier file with the one that I am posting to
<ftp://macgifts:macgifts@info-mac.org/>
The brochure describes the various potential problems that the year 2000
brings. It details what the problems are, how to test for them, and why
it is important to deal with this issue as soon as possible.
