Subject: (A) Paste with Eudora adds a space

Thanks to Chaz and Pete.

The trick is that the Esoteric Settings plug-in needs to be put into 
the "Eudora Stuff" folder. I assumed that since it was a plug-in, 
that it was supposed to be in the "Extra Plugins" folder. Silly me.

Once that plug-in was in the Eudora Stuff folder, I could go into 
settings, and go to the "Really Miscellaneous" section, and uncheck 
the smart paste option.

The fact that Plugins that you wish to use are supposed to go into 
the Eudora Stuff folder is mentioned in the Read Me in the Eudora 
Plugins folder.

Thanks to all.

In Settings, go to the "Really Miscellaneous" section, and uncheck 
"So-called Smart Paste".

You may need to install an extension to make the "Really 
Miscellaneous" section appear, but IIRC that extension came with 
Eudora.  It might be "Esoteric Settings".

I'm using Eudora 4.3 on this machine.

Subject: [*] Midius ProjectPlanner 1.3.2


Midius ProjectPlanner is a program for making time schedules (Gantt
charts). It's a simple but yet powerful tool for planning any kind
of project, though it's most useful for small projects.

The 1.3 to 1.3.2 releases corrects the following bugs (and adds
some new features too):

+ Corrected a bug related to exporting project as a picture.
+ Also corrected a bug that messed up the team member menu when
  click-and-hold in the responsible column.
+ Corrected a bug sometimes causign a crash during save operations.
+ Also corrected bugs causing write to address 0 (which people with
  EvenBetterBusError installed noticed).
+ Corrected a bug related to selecting columns to be shown. Could
  cause the computer to hang.
+ Added a feature to automatically resize the window if it was to
  large for the screen being used.
+ It is now possible to make time schedules back to 1904 as opposed
  to previous versions where it was impossible to set a start date
  prior to 1987.
+ Added possibility to change the font and size of the font. (These
  options can be found in the Schedule menu.)
+ Added possibility to change the row height (which is kind of
  necessary when you can change to larger fonts). The row heights
  cannot be changed individually but all rows must have the same height.
+ Added support for the forward delete key.
+ Now the columns can be reordered by drag-and-drop (only exception
  is the row number column).
+ Corrected a bug in the calendar dialog, where time was displayed
  as tenths of hours instead of hours, when selecting a field.
+ Name of summaries can now be displayed in the Gantt chart just
  like ordinary activity names by option-click on the activity (or
  summary) with the select tool.
+ And corrected lots of other major and minor bugs.

The program is distributed as shareware and a single user license
is 35 USD.

X-Launch is a small launcher intended to be a replacement for Apple's
Launcher. It is designed to work in much the same way as Launcher and
offers similar functionality, while at the same time occupying a smaller
footprint and offering some customization features that hopefully make it
more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, it features extra conveniences
such as allowing the user to reorder buttons and category icons, to
navigate folder contents via contextual menu, and to bring the launch
window to the front via a hot corner.

Version 2.1 adds several additional appearance and behavior options, 
including Tooltips, vertical orientation, and a pseudo-Aqua theme.

The Mac _is_ not a hard drive, it _contains_ a hard drive.  So, 
connecting the two machines with a SCSI cable will most probably 
damage one or both of the computers. The only computers you can 
connect to another computer  are Powerbooks, but they need a special 
cable / adapter so that they start in SCSI disk mode. Since you don't 
have a Powerbook, this is not an option for you.

You definitely _need_ a network connection if you want to access one 
computer from the other. Or, you are stuck with exchanging 
floppies/Zip-disks/CDs/whatever.

>  Some of my PC friends say
>that it can be done on their platforms, but I wonder about Macs.

Definitely not. You can connect 2 PCs via a serial cable or a 
parallel cable and through some software "see" one disk on the other 
PC, but you can't do this connecting 2 PCs using a SCSI cable.

However, WHY don't you want to use a network connection?

You just need 2 computers with a 10base-T (= RJ45) connector and a 
crossed Ethernet cable (or a hub and 2 "straight" Ethernet cables). 
Software is all built into the OS since at least version 7.x. Maybe 
you need to look for a (used) Ethernet card cor the IIci, say on eBay 
or so. Should be cheap.

Best wishes, Christian.

              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That doesn't make sense.  Yes, SCSI is faster than USB, but it's the 
job of the USB->SCSI adapter to mediate this.  If the USB->SCSI 
adapter is falling down during large file transfers, then it is 
broken and needs to be fixed or replaced.

SCSI is faster than an ethernet network, as well, but if my computer 
cannot read data from a SCSI disk and push it to another computer 
through the slower network connection, that doesn't mean that SCSI is 
too fast for ethernet.  It means something is broken.

>files from the IIci to the Imac (or vice-versa). I don't want to get

But that's exactly what you want to do.

Here are your options:

1. Get some removable storage device that works on both platforms. 
For example, leave your SCSI zip attached to the IIci and buy a 
native USB zip drive for the iMac.  Transfer files that way.  That'll 
cost $100.

2. Get a different USB->SCSI adapter that doesn't choke on large 
files.  That seems like a major failing of the one you have.  Once 
you have a USB->SCSI adapter that works, continue with your existing 
zip drive.  Those seem to cost $60 or so.

3. Set up a small network.  You'll need a NuBus ethernet card for 
your IIci [looks like the high end on ebay is $10] and a crossover 
ethernet cable [about $10 at any computer store].*  Install the 
ethernet card and its software, plug in the cable, and use file 
sharing to access the hard drive on the other machine.  Voila.

4. Use an internet drive like an iDisk to transfer files.  Assuming 
both machines can get to the internet, this method is free but really 
slow.

There's no way to connect the two machines via SCSI.

>Some of my PC friends say that it can be done on their platforms

They'd have essentially the same options: sharing physical removable 
storage, networking, internet.

*More detail: My personal suggestion would be two standard ethernet 
cables and a hub.  I think crossover cables are more trouble than 
they are worth.  A hub will run you as little as $20, and with the 
hub you don't have to worry about restartign the machines with the 
cables plugged in or rebooting several times before you get the two 
machines to see each other over the ethernet and so on as you 
sometimes [often? it varies] have to do with a crossover cable.  With 
a hub, you plug the two machines in, switch the AppleTalk connection 
to "Ethernet" and you're ready to go without doing anything else.

I just received an interesting response from Dothill that the DLT

a drive that is just abit over 2 years old and the manual says the 
unit has a 7 year design life.  I believe the drive mechanisms are 
basically built by one company.  Does this mean that DLT technology 
is at end of life or just the Dothill unit?

The PIM, Personal/Group Organizer (formerly "Consultant") from 
<http://www.chronosnet.com> has some planning possibilities.

Another way to go would be to look for an old copy of MacProject (it 
still runs well); and Design Drawer is used by someone I know to work 
through such things -- but as I understand it, that's basically 
manual.

Of course, MicroPlanner is the Rolls Roiyce. I used it years and 
years ago, when it had a little bulldozer that ran alontg moving the 
piles of excess hours into the holes of insufficient commitment. It 
was fun!

Thanks to Daniel Cohen I found that version 4.5.7 will work if one of 
their extensions is disabled.  The details are on the PowerPrint web 
page.  The printer now works.  However, I now need to use it with 
multiple users.  The key user prints just fine.  However when I setup 
a user that is basically restricted to Netscape and Chooser, printing 
gives the error:

   There was a problem creating the spool file.  A file could not be found (-43)

I have setup the user with user can print, allow all printers and 
chooser is enabled.  The printer is selected in chooser.  The problem 
appears to be with the spool file.  I suspect it is unable to write 
to that directory.  How do I setup the user so they can print?

Subject: Project Management Software - my Conclusions

Several people sent me information and pointers to helpful web sites. My
observations:

If you want the full functionality, your choices seem to be  MS Project for
Windows under Virtual PC ($499) or MicroPlanner ($699)
(http://www.microplanning.com/mpi/) which claims more functionality than MS
Project and runs native on the Mac.
These products are priced for serious business use.

AEC FastTrack Scheduler (and its related product Details) lacks PERT
charting, price: $299.

There is also a product named HyperProject ($149) which includes PERT
charting. I downloaded the demo version. I haven't checked it out
completely, but the functionality is less than the top end products.

You can still get MS Project, but it is not supported, and no new versions
appear to be coming.

Mac Project Pro is available on eBay only.

Thanks to the several people who responded

Subject: RCA video input to G4

I would like to input video from a Sony 8mm video camera to a G4 and 
then work with iMovie.

I presently have a G4 and a PowerMac 7600/120.

The 7600 has RCA video input ports while the G4 has Firewire and USB.

I have used the video input ports on my 7600 to import video from my 
Sony 8mm video camera (it has one video and one audio RCA output 
ports) and worked with Avid Videoshop.

1) Can I remove the video import apparatus (card?) from the 7600 and 
install it into the G4?

2) Is there an RCA to Firewire adaptor that I can use in the event 
that (1) is impossible or impractical?

Thanks in advance for you help!!

Subject: Sharing a CSW 4500 on a network?

Hello,

I am trying to share a Color SW 4500 on a mini network in my office. I can't
seem to create a desktop icon of that printer on the computer it is
presently connected to (a PowerMac 8100/80 running System 8.0); it won't
allow me to share it (the option never shows up when I set it up); and I
can't see it from my other computer (a G4 running under System 9.04)

It is driving me up the proverbial wall, of course.

  So how do you back up those gargantuan hard disks that are
  standard in today's Macs? Read on this week for Adam's detailed
  look at an attractive new backup device, Ecrix's VXA-1 tape drive.
  Joe Clark's second installment on accessibility for the disabled
  concentrates on the products that are available for the Mac. And
  in the news this week, Apple tweaks the iMac and G4 Cube, releases
  iTunes 1.1, and quietly consigns iReview to the Trash.

Subject: VideoCD problem

I'm trying to see a selfmade VideoCD on my G3 BW without DVD and MPEG 
decoding card (system 9.1), but the Toast-mastered CD is not mount by 
the Apple CD driver. Instead, the Toast driver mount it but the video 
seems very bad with big green squares.
Is it a hard or soft problem?
Thanks
