Am I correct in assuming this is an on-site only offer, i.e. no telecommuting? -Ted Sobel
Try MACSYS or MACHW (Systems Forum and Hardware Forum). The fact that searching with Norton did not locate the text actually bolsters the argument that the problem may be in a disk driver, as I don't think Norton searches those blocks. –John
NYMUG is the New York Mac User's Group (duh). I think they have meetings the first wednesday of every month. They have a First Class BBS you might want to call for more info (you might be able to find the # in a BBS listing in the Mac Communications…
Mac/Windows class lib
Message #164146
I am looking for a cross platform (Mac/Windows) C++ class library. I need to port a Mac application to Windows. I would like to rewrite the Mac program using a cross platform library then move it to windows and "just" recompile it there. I have looked at XVT but don't…
The list won't be released. However, you can see if a specific creator type has been assigned by using the "C/F Registration Requests" HyperCard stack that's on every Apple Developer CD. -Jim
You searched your whole disk (not just the current selected file) and didn't find any of the words you saw in the message? Hmmm…
Danny, Glad I could help. If you'd like the source code, let me know and I'll upload it – hardly anything stellar, but it got the job done. 🙂 Actually, I'm finding it useful myself – I leave it running to tell me how long I have until my product…
#NY User Group
Message #164112
All… Does anyone know of a programmer and/or user group in the Greater New York area. I live on Long Island and I would like to get "connected" with a Macintosh user group on Long Island or in New York city. Any suggestions? Mike
Mac->Windows conversion
Message #164100
I am converting a Mac program to Windows, and I need to move the resources into the Windows environment. I have lots of picts, also strings, user defined resources, cursors, etc. I want some tools that will assist in this process. At the very least I need something that will…
Thanks Neil for the info. I expect Bryant will follow up.

state of Mac tools
Message #164094
Re: "I've now worked with NeoAccess enough that I can give you some intelligent feedback. Five stars, A++, elegant, powerful, fast, and flexible." Thanks for the info. I ordered a copy myself; just got it in a couple of days ago, but haven't had time to work with it yet.…

Mark, I haven't had a chance to look for it yet, but I want to thank you for doing it. I really appreciate your time and effort. You've made me happy. (Addendum: I found it this morning in MACAPP, and it is perfect. Does exactly what I wanted. Just to…
While this is a programmers forum, *I* am not a programmer. Just a real heavy duty user. A power user but certainly not a programmer as this forum would define it. I might as well try those other posts also though. Might you have the appropriate 'GO:' as I'm not…
I liked the Norton way as it seemed real easy. Too easy. Alas, it didn't work. I have this feeling it is part of some compiled code for some formatter or installer or such. I just don't want to start over with a virgin system and reinstall everything only to…

Director gurus needed
Message #163896
All Director gurus, We're currently in need of a freelance Macromedia Director expert with experience in Lingo coding, QT, XObject use, and conversion to Windows via DPW for the following immediate jobs: 1. Optimize current diskette release for CD distribution. 2. Trouble shoot the WindoZe conversion of a Mac release.…
#Mac Copy protection
Message #163885
Help! My company is attempting to open several overseas markets, including Japan, to our MAC music notation program, Nightingale. However, the distributors expressed reservation about carrying the software as it is not copy-protected. We would like to explore this option, however hesitantly, but do not know where to begin. Any…
But doesn't that mean that many developers might be told their proposed creator/types are in collision, yet they only collide with un-released products from 1985? Wouldn't it be useful or at least interesting to release the list of confirmed IDs?
SoFAWA Mtg 3/16: SFACon
Message #163816
Attention Washington DC Object Enthusiasts! SoFAWA, the Washington area affiliate of the SFA (Software Frameworks Association, formerly MADA) will hold its monthly meeting Wednesday, March 16 at its McDonnell Douglas location (Tysons Corner, VA). We will be presenting the latest news from the SFA conference. We've got info on Apple,…
Robert, About two years ago I used a disk formatter (I think it came with an APS drive) to format some SyQuests, and noticed that sometimes after mounting such a disk I'd get a flashing box in the middle of my screen. It was white with a think pink border…
The easiest method would probably be to search your hard disk for the text "Please insert disk module" (or a part of that string). For example, I saved your message on my disk, used Norton Utilities Disk Editor to open the volume and then Find "Please insert". It told me…
The two I can think of off the top of my head are from Intercon and The Wollongong Group – both are commercial products. There may be others so you might want to search a product database like RedGate, or ZiffMac or MacWorlds's reviews. – Jim
Apple doesn't release the list of registered creator and file types. There's a good reason: Developers may (and should) register creator and file types early during development. Apple doesn't have any way of knowing when the products associated with those types get released (or if they ever get released) so…

Mac for Handicap
Message #163771
If you contact Apple, they have "The Apple Catalog" which includes a number of very helpful items for using a Mac under those circumstances. Keyboards for mouth sticks, typing assistants which automatically complete partially-typed words, and so on. Unfortunately I don't have the phone number handy. -Mike

Pls help identify flash
Message #163702
I'm posting this here since I might expect other developers to maybe have used enough different programs as I have to maybe share their experience at solving my problem. Every few days I have something that triggers some init or extension to halt processing and display a message in the…
Mac NFS?
Message #163690
I'm looking for NFS client software for the Mac desktop, not A/UX. Does this exist as either commercial or freeware?
I think the biggest problem with shareware is that programmers think that people are actually going to send them money. A much more reliable way to make money is to sell your talents or your programs. You certainly can't assume that every download should be a registered user. Perhaps your…
Message 163429 asked for the same thing. Does Apple release their list?

Mac for Handicap
Message #163668
Matti, You might want to try posting this message in the Mac Hardware Forum (GO MACHW).
I hope the shareware experience didn't sour you on releasing neat stuff you've written for free. Aside from my two commercial products (Pyro! and PBTools), all of the stuff I've written over the years has been released for free. It is terribly satisfying, I get thanks all the time, even…

#Perks of shareware reg.?
Message #163407
I can't speak directly to your subject, but I will say this. I released one utility some time ago as shareware. The utility worked well at the time, but later developed some "unusual behavior" when the AV Macs shipped. I fixed the bug immediately to produce an updated version. However,…

You can also use a disk editing tool to change the boot blocks. Norton's Disk Editor lets you view the boot blocks with labels and descriptions of each value's meaning. Stephen Read action !
