Please lookup article <1913@laura.UUCP> again! There I
explained that Arc 6.02 supports the extended argument passing
scheme xArg which former versions of Arc did not.
 
Arcgsh 2.1 has code incorporated to call programs with xArg
but, sorry, that code did not work right. Thus the bombs. I
fixed it for me and it works. A preliminary corrected version
is available on request.

Believe it or not, but this message was typed using a 1040STe!! At least
in Holland, they are not at all mythical, but widely available for
a price only f 300.= (about $150.=) above the normal 1040STf price.

Speaking of character sets, does anyone have a font equivalent to
that on the IBM PC that can be loaded with any of the standard font
loaders?

I feel that icone.acc does not work under tos1.4, at least under french
tos1.4 :-).
It is our observation, from two different users.

Ref: Mac Shareware
Could some kind soul enlighten me on the following?
1. What happen to the Mac Shareware 'Aladin' which discussed here few months
   ago? Has 'Capitain' made up his mind about releaseing it yet?
 
2. What is the lastest version of the Discovery Cartridge software? I own the
   cartridge with V2.7 software and wrote to the Happy Computers since June 89
   asking for upgrading to the newer version which would allowing me to convert
   Macintosh disk to Aladin disk but still not receive the reply from them.
   Is they still exist? I noticed that they are no loger advertise in the START
   magazine.
 
3. What happen to the Mac ROM source code released by the NuPrometheous group?
   I heard that it was sent to Taiwan!!   Suthipuntha, School of Architecture
                                                       Nat.Univ.of Singapore
