Karin, Sounds as if you don't have QuickTime installed. It's necessary… There is 1 Reply. Read action !
Zachary, >> Can one use the Hi-8 camera for video input in place of a scanner? Well, scanners aren't video input but the answer to the question you're asking is "Sure, although not at anywhere near the resolution a scanner will provide." >> What video board would I need? and…
Terry, No, a separate video board will not make the Q700 faster. Unlike the IIci and IIsi, it has separate video RAM and the internal video circuitry never interferes with the processor's access to main memory. Read action !
Sven, Yes, all AV Power Macs can run two monitors right out of the box. The AudioVision monitor interface– the big squarish funny looking plug– uses standard Mac memory instead of video memory. If you don't have a monitor plugged in here, the memory's available for programs and data, so…
Warren, No other suggestions; any video card should work for this application. Read action !
Warren, You can do this– run the "Welcome" application in the background on the Mac while the secretary does other work. Depending on what she does the "Welcome" application may slow or pause at times, though. I'd recommend a Mac with NuBus slots. There is 1 Reply. Read action !
stanford, I've not heard of the problem but based on the three other replies to your message I'd say there's a design problem in the 5xx series video. Read action !
#2nd video in background
Message #149896
Warren, You didn't say what type of Mac your receptionist has but you'll probably need to add a separate video card. You can simply have a "Welcome" sign as the desktop background on that monitor. The desktops of the two monitors will be contiguous but by arranging them so only…
#NewTek here?
Message #81280
Bruce, Ah, but you see, I have no NewTek questions other than "Is there someone at your company I could contact regarding a potential area of development for your product in the wake of Commodore's demise?"
NewTek here?
Message #81218
Jerry, "I have several fax numbers for them, though, if you require them." That would be very useful!
Jerry, I'm probably who you think I am…although there is a "David Ramsay" over in MAUG as well.. I was just looking for any NewTek person to get an EMail address. Why would they have a section in the vendor's forum if they're never here?
OK, I'll check back then (where have they been?)
#NewTek here?
Message #81093
Does anyone from NewTek actually show up in this section? I can't find any messages from any NewTek personell…
Andrew, Are you asking for the headers to the Mac toolbox routines? We don't have any of those here; they're all part of some commercial language package.
Brian, You need a new microphone, unfortunately. The new Macs expect line level inputs rather than the lower microphone level inputs; the slightly longer plug on the new microphones conacts a power jack inside the computer to provide power to the mike.

Mac for Handicap

Matti, You might want to try posting this message in the Mac Hardware Forum (GO MACHW).

Bob, I think the most likely explanation of the LW 8.0 snafu is that it was a mistake. Read action !
Su., Apple apparently released the LW 8.0 installer with a timed decompressor that quit working on the first of this month. We've removed it from the libraries and are awaiting 8.1…sorry for the trouble! Read action !

Kevin, Welcome to MPW, the development environment where _you_ provide the smarts. You need to write a "make" file for your C++ project that includes the proper "dependency rules." These rules can check file dates to see if a given object file is "later" than its source file. You then…

Bob, A company called Altura Software, Inc. has a context-sensitive hypertextual help system they call QuickHelp; it might be appropriate for you. Altura Software 510 Lighthouse Ave., Suite 5 Pacific Grove, CA 93950 408-655-8005

Jon, >> I did ask in the Application Forum. I didn't receive any responses. Hmmm…I'll bet my guess about no such utility existing was correct, then.

Jon, This is the programmer's forum; you should probably try asking in the Mac Applications Forum (GO MACAP) or the systems software forum (GO MACSYS). Any such conversion program would have to have a Postscript interpreter built into it. I don't think such a utility exists.

Greg, No, ResEdit won't automatically update the desktop file info for you (if that's what you were asking).

Manuel, ToolServer can run by itself, in which case there is no stdin, or alongside the shell, in which case there is.

Greg, You need an icon, and an FREF, and a BNDL resource, and you need to set the bundle bit. The easiest way to do this is to copy the icon, FREF, and BNDL out of an existing application into your application, then edit the icon and rebuild the desktop.

Greg, Isn't the only way to _get_ Toolserver is to have MPW in the first place?

Sys 7 Bad Install?
Message #81161
I'm not sure why you removed the system and finder files from your system folder and renamed it; I've never seen that bit of advice mentioned. You should have simply run the installer without doing anything to your existing system. Here's what happened ——————-The Mac keeps track of where the…
