Hello everybody
 
could someone please give me an advice, what MacIntosh emulator I
should buy, when I want to run Allegro Common Lisp with Babylon
or NexpertObject? Is it Spectre because of the HFS? Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

Message-ID: <19513@boulder.Colorado.EDU>
 
   A little while ago, in the midst of that stupid flame war, someone mentioned
that there was a mod from Germany to allow a mono monitor to do low and medium
resolutions with gray scales.  Anyone have any info on this (doc, difficulty)?
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Acording to the Pinhead docs, Fatspeed must be run before Pinhead.

Subject: Help with SH204 Host-adapter
 
More on my defective SH204. It turned out that the 16L8 PAL placed in the Host
Adapter is gone. Would someone be kind enough to tell me either a source for a
new one or the fuse matrix ? I am not so skilful to reverse-engineer the Host-
adapter and to reprogram a new PAL for ACSI-SCSI conversion.
Please e-mail me directly since I cannot receive INFO-A16 issues.
 
 
                                Many thanks,

You might try looking at how many files are in the subdirectory where files are
disappearing.  One of the options you can set is for maximum number of files
per directory.  You can set it to a higher number (But it takes more memory
then).  If it isn't displaying all of the files because of the limit placed on
the subdirectory, it should put a message up where it usually says x files in y
bytes, saying that not all of the files are shown.
 
Solutions?  Sort by date, that way the files you have worked on most recently
will show up first.  Or mask by *.doc, or delete all of the *.bak files, which
in most cases will cut the number of files in half in a folder that contains
nothing but first word documents.
 
You could also consider setting up more subdirectories for these files.
Categorize all of your documents and split them among multiple directories.
 
Hope this helps!

  Has anyone been able to successfully un-arc play.arc on terminator. Everytime
I d/l it and try and unarc it there is garbage in the archive.

Subject: re-direction
Message-ID: <1602@electro.UUCP>
 
what is the "official" method of doing io-redirection in software.
what i want is for program A to run. It prints to the screen using Cconws();.
In the course of running A, it will invoke B, which also prints with Cconws.
Before B is called, the user has the option of redirecting B's
output anywhere (screen, printer, file, modem). After B runs, control is
returned to A, which will then continue printing to the screen as before.
 
So the question i ask is: what is the proper way for A to redirect B's output
before B is invoked. Or is this even the correct way of thinking about this
problem.
 
Any comments, code fragments, etc will be happily accepted and graciously
rewarded with thanx at this time!
