Power Computing Comes Through Again

• Your editor wishes to report another pleasing encounter with the Customer Service department at Power Computing. Once again, I experienced a speedy, no-hassle approach to my problem, quite likely going beyond their actual legal obligations to me. I doubt I'll consider buying anywhere else.

Apple Announces First Developer Release of ALOE

• The Apple Library for Object Embedding (ALOE) provides developers with an application programming interface (API) to OpenDoc for their existing Mac OS applications. By supporting ALOE, applications gain access to OpenDoc's rich object model and extend their functionality by enabling the embedding of other OpenDoc components. With ALOE, turning a traditional application into a container application is done by supporting just one small set of APIs.
• You can now download the first developer release of ALOE from the OpenDoc web site. You can find everything you need to start converting your application into an OpenDoc container at the ALOE web page.

Apple Pledges Support for DVD-ROM Drives, Shows First Prototype

• At the recent MILIA 97 conference in Cannes, France, Apple demonstrated the first DVD-ROM Macintosh prototype and announced support for the DVD- ROM format throughout most of the Apple Macintosh product line. (DVD-ROMs--which look identical to CD-ROM discs--can hold up to 18 GB (gigabytes) of multimedia data with built-in provisions for surround sound or MPEG-2 video)
• As part of a MILIA presentation, Apple also noted that the first DVD- enabled Macintosh system could appear as soon as late 1997, with several new PowerBook and desktop models expected to be shipped with DVD-ROM drives by early 1998. "Just as Apple was the first computer vendor to standardize on CD-ROM ten years ago, we now expect to take a leadership position with Macintosh and DVD-ROM," said Carlos Montalvo, vice president of Apple's Interactive Media Group.

Cookie Cure

• The easiest way to trash the cookie is to not allow Netscape to create it. Create a folder called "MagicCookie" in your Netscape preferences folder. A file and folder can not have the same name so Netscape can not create the cookie. It works well.
• Dan Babcock

Approaching Another Floor on Chip Size

• Gordon Moore, Intel Co-founder, predicted more than 25 years ago that the number of transistors on a microchip would double every two years. This has been true ever since. But at that rate, by 2001, it will no longer be possible to use visible light to etch the designs. The lowest wavelength will be too big (it is 0.193 microns).
• People are working with UltraViolet, but more importantly with Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV), which has a shorter wavelength. But it won't 'go through' the lenses currently used. Mirrors would work, if they could be manufactured accurately enough. The current optical approach could go almost indefinitely further, through XRays and beyond, but the aiming becomes problematic.
• Bell Labs are working with electron beams which can etch even smaller than EUV.
• But, at Moore's rate, we will soon be at 0.05 microns, at which point, quantum uncertainty will become a bother.

Totally Irrelevant, but Cool

• A Japanese firm has manufactured a working automobile the size of a grain of rice.
• A Helicopter about 3 grains of rice long has been built by the Institute of Microtechnology in Mainz (Germany).
• It's a different world. Mass, weight and momentum are negligible factors, but surface tension, friction become critical.
• Japan has launched a $200 million, 10 year nanotech initiative.
• IBM scientists used a scanning tunneling microscope and miniature tweezers to write "IBM" in xenon atoms. Japan wrote "atom" in kanji characters in iron atoms.
• Say, I can get a guest speaker on this stuff. Should I?
• Time Magazine - Canadian Edition - 961202

QuickDraw GX Retreat

• CUPERTINO, Calif.-- March 3, 1997--Apple Computer, Inc. today announced plans to unify the dual printing architectures currently supported by the Mac OS and standardize on the use of "classic" Printing Manager drivers, such as LaserWriter and StyleWriter, for future Mac OS 7.x releases. Beginning with Tempo, Apple plans to remove the printing architecture component of QuickDraw GX, refocus QuickDraw GX as a graphics solution, and continue to evolve its Printing Manager drivers.
• In place of the QuickDraw GX 1.1.5 architecture currently available, a modified system will be delivered as a separate software library.
• Developers of QuickDraw GX applications will be required to modify their applications to use the new shared library to print via standard "classic" print drivers.
• For more information, see Apple's Tech Note
• Apple Dev News 46 Supplement 970303

Apple Arranges MetroWerks Help for Rhapsody Developers

• Apple just finalized a development agreement whereby Metrowerks will create new software development tools that facilitate the transition from the current Mac OS to Apple's next-generation operating system, code-named "Rhapsody." Metrowerks will deliver a Rhapsody-hosted version of CodeWarrior and introduce a new product, CodeWarrior Latitude, that will allow developers to more rapidly port Mac OS applications to Rhapsody.
• CodeWarrior Latitude, which will be released later this year, will include a porting library that allows Mac OS applications to be ported to UNIX-based operating systems. Metrowerks will retarget this porting library to Rhapsody so that programmers can take Mac OS applications that use Mac OS application programming interfaces (APIs), MacApp, or PowerPlant, link them with the Latitude library, and then deliver applications that take advantage of advanced Rhapsody services, such as preemption, memory protection, and multithreading, without having to rewrite base code. Using CodeWarrior Latitude, most developers should be able to complete their first port of a stable Mac application to Rhapsody within a month.
• First, Metrowerks will ensure that its compilers will build Rhapsody applications when hosted in CodeWarrior for Mac OS and Apple's Project Builder for Rhapsody. Metrowerks expects to have Objective C support added to the CodeWarrior C compiler hosted in CodeWarrior for Mac OS by the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in May 1997.
• Next, Metrowerks will implement interoperability between Objective C objects, and C++ and Object Pascal objects in September 1997. Metrowerks will deliver these new CodeWarrior programming tools as part of its regular CodeWarrior for Mac OS subscription at no additional charge to subscribers.
• Finally, the CodeWarrior IDE, programming tools, and compilers will be ported to Rhapsody. Metrowerks' CodeWarrior IDE will be hosted on both Mac OS, as currently available, and on Rhapsody. The first developer release of CodeWarrior for Rhapsody is scheduled to coincide with Apple's initial release of Rhapsody.
• Once the porting of the CodeWarrior IDE to Rhapsody has been completed, both CodeWarrior for Mac OS and CodeWarrior for Rhapsody will build the following:
  • Mac OS applications for 68K and PowerPC
  • Rhapsody applications for PowerPC
  • Windows 95/NT applications for x86
  • Applications for embedded platforms including the Sony PlayStation and U.S. Robotics' Pilot organizer.
• To review the complete press release, see the Apple web site:
• Apple Developer News #46 970227

CFM-68K Runtime Enabler Fix (Beta) Available

• A beta version of the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler extension is now available. The final version will be posted some time in March.
• Apple Developer News #46 970227

Cyberdog 2.0 Beta 1 Version Now Available

• Version 2.0 of Cyberdog, Apple's OpenDoc extension for Internet access, is now available in a beta version.

Used NeXT Hardware

• A Good Source for Used NeXT Hardware Apple developers interested in gaining experience with NeXT's OpenStep operating system may want to check out Spherical Solutions' web site for good buys on used NeXT equipment. Spherical Solutions offers a full line of Motorola-based NeXT systems, complete with user and developer software.

BBEdit 4.0.3 Available

• Version 4.0.3 of Bare Bones Software's popular and award-winning text editor for Mac OS-based systems is now available. The new version includes a variety of enhancements, including improved FTP support, coding support, and HTML tools. Licensed owners of BBEdit 4.0, 4.0.1, and 4.0.2 can download this update free of charge from Bare Bones Software's web site:

Apple Information Access Toolkit 1.0 Now Available

• Apple Information Access Toolkit 1.0 is a set of tools enabling Mac OS developers to deliver applications that are knowledgeable about the contents of documents.
• Formerly code-named V-Twin, this technology lets developers incorporate advanced indexing and store-and-search capabilities into applications with minimal memory overhead, essentially bringing the functionality of a powerful search engine to end users. These advanced capabilities include similarity searching ("find things like this" operations) and the ability to provide relevance-ranked results (results that are sorted from most relevant to least). By empowering developers with a simple and robust API (application programming interface) for designing content-aware applications, Apple is furthering its goal of providing advanced "knowledge management" solutions to its customers.
• Apple Information Access Toolkit 1.0 is available to developers and will be licensed as a software development kit (SDK). The SDK includes the Apple Information Access Toolkit 1.0 C++ static library, sample code, and documentation.
• To review a complete feature list, see the press release and to obtain the Apple Information Access Toolkit SDK, send an e-mail to Alan Samuel and briefly describe how you'll be using this technology.

CFM-68K Runtime Enabler Fixed

• Version 4.0 of the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler corrects all known problems with previous versions and allows applications that require the Code Fragment Manager--such as LaserWriter 8.4, Cyberdog, America Online 3.0, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0--to run on 680x0-based machines.

Apple MAE, Update 3

• Apple has posted Update 3 for the Macintosh Application Environment (MAE). MAE is open systems software that enables UNIX workstation users to easily run unmodified 680x0-based Macintosh productivity applications. This update, which includes enhancements made as a result of Apple's internal testing, is for existing MAE 3.0 installations only. You can download this software at the following site:

Apple Disk Copy, Version 6.1

• This is the latest version of Disk Copy, a utility that lets you mount disk images on your desktop, make exact copies of floppy disks from a disk image, convert disk images from one format to another, and create a disk image from a mounted volume or folder. With DiskScripts and AppleScript, you can use Disk Copy to automate software installations and disk image manipulation.

MkLinux, Developer Release 2.1

• Apple is supporting a project of the Open Software Foundation Research Institute (OSF-RI) to port Linux, a freely distributed version of UNIX, to a variety of Power Macintosh platforms. MkLinux (Microkernel Linux for the Power Macintosh) operates on the OSF RI Mach 3 (Mk) microkernel, running in native mode on the PowerPC microprocessor. This new release, version 2.1 of MkLinux, supports more Power Macintosh models, including Power Macintosh 6100, 7100, 8100, 7200, 7500, 8500, and 9500 computers.
• In addition, Prime Time Freeware is working with Apple to make the MkLinux releases available on CD. You can purchase MkLinux Developer Release 2.1 on CD for $20. In addition, you can purchase the MkLinux Reference Release, which includes the MkLinux DR 2.1 CD, a second reference CD-ROM packed with documentation and reference materials, and a 360-page book, for $50.

Automating Log-in

• Install AutoGuestInit on the system running the script, and you will automatically be logged in as a guest. If you require a real name and password, you can try using the login as scripting addition that is part of the GTQ Scripting Library (a collection of very useful scripting additions), available on your favorite archive site.
• Andy Bachorski
•  
• The MountVoilume osax will let you mount the remote volume quietly if you supply the password in the script.
• Meredith Kearns

Scripting Hack

• If the application won't seem to do as you instruct, perhaps it is refusing to work in the background. e.g. Desktop Patterns. Use ResEdit to set the 'Can Background' bit to true, if you dare.

Netscape 4 Beta

• Netscape has released the newest preview/beta version of Netscape 4. It only supports PowerPC chips right now.

PowerBook 2400 (Comet)

• This notebook is a joint effort between IBM and Apple. MacInTouch says, "It looks more like PowerBook 540c than ThinkPad 535 with elegantly round shaped design. Its logicboard is almost as same as PowerBook 3400, and it is very fast! It has 10.4 SVGA (800*600) Color TFT display (perhaps) with graphic accelerator, equipped with trackpad, not trackpoint, SCSI (HDI-30), PCMCIA slots (2 Type I & II, 1 Type III available), SVGA port for external monitors, floppy port, and a modem/serial port. It has neither Etherport nor docking capability."

CyberDog 2.0 is Out

• CyberDog is Apple's collection of Internet and Web browser applications that rely on OpenDoc. According to MacInTouch, "CyberDog 2.0 Beta 1 fixes bugs, improves performance and adds features, such as QuickTime MPEG support and the ability to turn off GIF animation." 1.2.1 is the current supported version of CyberDog.

USRobotics shipping their 56K modems

• Previously we announced the x.2 protocol making 56K modems possible, and mentioned that USRobotics was offering a free upgrade program to those who bought 33.6 modems then. I bought one, and this story in the Daily MugShot was the first I heard about it.

OT/PPP Strip 1.0b3

• OT/PPP Strip 1.0b3 allows you to:
  • - Easily switch OT/PPP configurations
  • - Connect/Disconnect OT/PPP from your ISP
  • - Optionally show connect rate, time connected, and PPP activity
• OT/PPP Strip now correctly finds configurations on localized (international) systems, and adds more descriptive balloon help when the module fails to load. It requires OT/PPP 1.0 and AppleScript (including the PPP Commands scripting addition, part of the OT/PPP 1.0 release) and OpenTransport 1.1.2 to run.

Translucent Dragging Has Bugs

• There are reports that Translucent Dragging has bugs. So, there is an extension to turn it off. I beliew Secret Finder Features permits this too.

Desktop Rebuilding Anomaly

• [We previously wrote that using the system's Desktop rebuild does not write a new Desktop database from scratch, but merely rebuilds the existing one. Utilities like TechTool permit the deletion of the database, forcing a complete restoration.]
• The problem is that when Tech Tool deletes the desktop database (or you delete it manually), the Finder returns a generic icon when asked what its icon is. If you follow your delete with a proper rebuild using the Apple method or Norton, the Finder returns to the normal icon. This behavior is only seen with 7.5.5 and later as far as I know.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0a

• With the release of version 3.0a (PowerPC-only) last week, Microsoft has resolved problems with deleting cache files, repeatedly reloading some Web pages, Challenge Response Protocol (used when accessing secured pages), and loading Java under MacTCP. Minimum and full install versions are available, ranging in size from 2.1 MB to nearly 8 MB. [JLC]
• TidBITS#368/03-Mar-97

R6 update for Quicken 7 and Quicken 7 Deluxe

• Intuit has released an R6 update for Quicken 7 and Quicken 7 Deluxe. The update fixes several bugs (see TidBITS-353_ and TidBITS-359_), and the non-standard ROI (Return On Investment) calculation in the Portfolio window has been replaced by the preferred ROI calculation used in the Investment Performance report. In addition, Q7 users may wish to know that Connectix's Speed Doubler can significantly speed the opening of Register windows, and indexing error warnings can sometimes be avoided by increasing Quicken's memory allocation (an additional 1 MB worked for me).
• TidBITS#368/03-Mar-97

AT LAST! CHRP COMPLIANCE!

• Pioneer has introduced some clones. They pack serious horsepower in a mini tower package with features that are unavailable in the U.S. right now. The most exciting feature was CHRP (PPCP) compliance, with the MPC-GX2 model running the CHRP version of System 7.6. Powered by a 200 MHz 604e with 32 MB of memory and 512K of L2 cache, the box seemed very responsive. In addition to the usual Macintosh ports, this box sports four PCI slots, one ISA slot, two IDE channels, a 2 GB SCSI hard disk, and the usual set of mouse, serial, and parallel ports found on an Intel PC. Best of all, a DVD-ROM drive tops the tower. The demo was playing a full-screen version of the latest James Bond movie, Goldeneye, while running System 7 applications in the foreground. Most impressive. Retail prices weren't available but prices seemed to start around $3,500.
• Pioneer did a side-by-side demo of a 25-inch, flat panel LCD display - a mere two inches thick!
• TidBITS#368/03-Mar-97

Tidbits Staff Suspicious of Apple Version Numbers

• The Daily Mugshot already published that Tempo, due in July, would be called MacOS 8.
• Tidbits suspects this is to squeeze money from clone makers, which have licensed only system 7.

US Federal Trade Commission slams Apple

• The Federal Trade Commission has held Apple accountable for "false and misleading" advertising regarding PowerPC upgrades for certain machines. Although Apple admitted no guilt, Apple will be contacting customers directly about rebates.
• The machines are:
  • Performa 550
  • LC 550
  • Performa 560
• You may be able to purchase a PowerPC upgrade for $599, including upgraded software and extra RAM. If you already upgraded your machine to PowerPC, you might be able to get $776 back
• TidBITS#369/10-Mar-97

Yikes. New Security Issues

• it's possible for a Java applet to disable security safeguards and grant itself full access to the local machine. It's important to note the problem is very difficult to exploit, but theoretically affects anyone licensing Java technology from Sun. Microsoft has released a 500K update to its Java implementations for the Mac version of Internet Explorer; Netscape 3.0 doesn't use Sun's Java, and isn't impacted.
• Macromedia's Shockwave Director plug-in (used with Web browsers like Netscape Navigator) may be another hole. Essentially, it's possible to author a Shockwave Director movie that can access, secretly, files on a user's machine, along with documents residing on other Internet servers, even behind a corporate firewall. A pre-release of Streaming Shockwave 6 reportedly does not exhibit these problems, but otherwise the only way to make sure you're not vulnerable is to de-install Shockwave.
• TidBITS#370/17-Mar-97

QuicKeys Finally Native PPC

• CE Software has (finally) released a PowerPC native version of QuicKeys, their powerful tool for assigning keyboard shortcuts and automating tasks (see TidBITS-347_). Also included with this update are pre-made toolbars for popular applications such as Photoshop, PageMaker, and Netscape Navigator, in addition to a Finder toolbar. QuicKeys 3.5 owners can download a 1.8 MB update from CE Software. [JLC]
• TidBITS#370/17-Mar-97

Fetch 3.0.3

• Fetch 3.0.2 only came out last week. It had added a Resume Download feature and enhanced Open Transport support. Obviously, Fetch 3.0.3 is a bug fix.
• TidBITS#370/17-Mar-97

Apple Cuts

• See the Press Release about the restructuring or just in general.
• What's Out
  • 2,700 full-time employees out of a total of about 11,000
  • 1,400 of 2,400 contractors and temporary employees
  • R&D - Apple's Advanced Technology Group (ATG) was reportedly hard hit by layoffs. 90 percent of future R&D would be devoted to education, publishing, and human interface design. They claimed that they were aiming to make the ATG budget five percent of sales, down from about six percent last year. That doesn't sound bad, but when you think about how sales have dropped, the cuts equal about a third of the ATG budget. The Apple executives noted that Compaq and other major PC vendors typically spend only one to two percent of sales on R&D.
  • Performas
  • Videoconferencing
  • AIX - Apple's recently-introduced, high-end Network Servers run AIX, a version of Unix from IBM. Although the Network Servers have been well-received by the high- end publishing crowd, Apple has decided to pull AIX from future servers, which will instead run either the Mac OS or Rhapsody
  • Biannual System Updates - This promise is only months old, and not even broken yet, but already cancelled. Instead, Apple will try for a yearly release schedule of major updates, with minor bug fixes coming every six months. I think this is all just posturing. Scheduling in the computer industry is known to be fantasy: there's nothing wrong with Apple announcing schedules and trying to stick to them, but anyone who believes that Apple (or anyone else) can do so consistently is dreaming.
  • QuickDraw GX
• What is placed in 'Maintenance Mode' - i.e., no further Development
  • Open Transport - The scheme is a switch to a Unix-derived Berkeley Standard Distribution (BSD) networking scheme on top of the Mach kernel
  • OpenDoc - The theory is that it is too similiar to Java. Pretty sad.
  • Cyberdog
  • Game Sprockets
  • Mac OS Development Tools - Apple is concentrating instead on development tools for Rhapsody.
• Promises to Support
  • Newton
  • Claris
  • Mac OS Licences - This was confusing. They will stand by the clone makers, but the fees will change. Apple points out that once it's possible to make CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) machines, clone makers will no longer have to license the Tanzania motherboard
• This is terrible! I suggest Apple give up the Newton and support R&D. OpenDoc should come after only the proper development of Rhapsody.

Shire on System 7.6

• 7.6 is faster and more stable than 7.5.5. We try to keep our equipment on the current system and try to have it up as early as we can in that way we can provide a customer with experientially based guidance when the time comes for them to upgrade.
• 7.5.3 is stable only on some machines, it was bad on 5200s and 6300s and 7.5.5 made a world of difference. Type 11 errors were drastically reduced, printing was improved and open transport world more smoothly and of course open transport ppp was a revolution.
• 7.6 is gaining its speed from the name it was given, "harmony" it integrates more of the new code and routines so that a gain is achieved with a higher precentage of routines running native. Now that was the goal, we believe that is the cause of speed improvement.
• Virtual Memory is still an option and there are circumstances when it is the way to go. It really depends on the applications you are using regularly We do not use it. We have enough memory in all of our machines to function from real RAM. However, if you are using some software while running others that tax your system VM makes sense but use only a little bit. 1 - 5 MB over your real ram gives you the benifit of software like Netscape using less Ram to run. However, if you are using things like graphic applications they object to using VM so you have to reboot with it off. It still uses huge chunks of hard drive, really wastefully too. to add 5MB of VM and with 24MB in your machine I think 29MB of hard drive are consumed.
