Subject: [*] QXP Delivery 1.2.1


QXP Delivery is a utility that lets you collect the fonts and images of any
given document created by QuarkXPress, ready for delivery to a output
bureau, or prepress house. Delivery can also include fonts and images which
are embedded into EPS files, optionally skip suppressed images, and can also
be told to move linked images instead of copying them.
There is a document report option, and an output order form setup which
provides the output bureau with output specifiations, and job and contact
details. After collecting, Delivery can compress the delivery folder into a
Stuffit self expanding file.

Using drag and drop, Delivery makes collecting easy. After configuring
Delivery, drag a QuarkXPress document onto its icon or the dropbox within
its main window. There is also a batch option to collect many documents at a
time, each into their own respective delivery folders.

Other features are described in the manual.

Subject: [*] QXP PhotoBook 2.1.3


QXP PhotoBook is a utility that lets you create image catalog files using
QuarkXPress. It is ideal for creating catalogs of images or clipart. You can
quickly create covers for CD libraries or use it to quickly print out a
thumbnail of every image on a disk or CD.

Using PhotoBook you can create QuarkXPress files of any size and which can
contain any number of any image format supported by QuarkXPress, including
PDF and Gif.

PhotoBook can optionally include headers and footers and picture captions in
any font you specify. Special header and footer tags can  incorporate
variable information such as date and time, folder names and page numbers.
Captions can include image information such as file name, file size, file
type and creation date. Also, there are options for color, and  picture box
frame widths and styles.

Using drag and drop, PhotoBook makes cataloging images easy. After
configuring, drag image files or a folderful of image files onto its icon to
create QuarkXPress PhotoBooks. PhotoBook can be told to look inside
subfolders as well. There is also an option to batch create many photobooks
at a time.

Other features are described in the manual.

  Been waiting to install Mac OS X? Be sure to read Rita Lewis's
  detailed article on installing Mac OS X first for essential
  advice. Also this week, Adam looks at using inexpensive FireWire
  hard disks for backup. In the news, Microsoft releases Office 2001
  for Mac Service Release 1, Outpost.com's shipping charges
  increase, and we encourage caution with Apple's recent firmware
  updates. Please note we're suffering a partial network outage!

Hi everybody,

As a response to the 'i love info-mac thread', I'd like to remind you of my
little site, the HyperDigest. Have a look, you might like it.

The digests mailed out you all are parsed to web-pages with links an more
automatically every night (that is European night :-) So everything is
always up to date, as long as the feed from the listserver is working.

Enjoy,

Andr‰.

Subject: HELP me find Keyspan USB Card Driver.

[ A copy of this message has been posted to the newsgroup ]
[     comp.sys.mac.misc                                   ]

I just glommed onto a Keyspan USB PCI card (Model UPCI-2).
Unfortunately, the person who gave me the card could not find the CD
with the driver software.

I tried installing the USB Card drivers from Apple, but apparently that
is not enough. System Profiler can see that the card is in there, but no
other hardware or software can see it.

So far, three days and counting, Keyspan Tech Support has not seen fit
to respond to my email. This software is conspicuous by its absence on
their web site.

Does anyone know of an alternate download site for this driver? Can
someone who has that CD tell me exactly what is on it?

Subject: Verizon DSL problem with Ethernet 

At home and at work I use appletalk ethernet networks to connect my
computers to each other and to printers using an ethernet hub. No problems.

I ordered DSL at home and at work from Verizon. The Mac is supposed to
connect to the DSL Modem via ethernet. It works fine if you connect the
cable directly from the Mac to the modem. Doesn't work at all if you try to
connect through the hub - even when the Mac and the modem are the only
things connected to the hub.

Verizon is predictably unhelpful ("we do not support ethernet network
environments").

Anybody got a clue how to make this work? Or should I just ship the whole
mess back to Verizon and wait for broadband?
