Black & Bleu is an application that shows you the meaning of all of the documented and many of the undocumented Mac OS error codes. Many codes include information about what might be the cause of the error and what you can do about it.
The database contains over 2500 error codes with Apple's short explanations of each. Our detailed explanations and remedies are included for the most common of these errors. The type of detailed information can be selected from 2 categories: a Non-technical User orientation and a Programmer orientation. The Non-technical User explanation is presented in a way that someone without a programming background can understand. The Programmer explanation is written in VERY technical terms that usually includes source code that demonstrates the error. To fully understand the Programmer explanation, you should be familiar with Macintosh programming (in C or C++).
Black & Bleu is also available from our web site: www.bleurose.com as a free fully functioning demo. This demo can be launched for a total of 3 times before it expires.

Dear Control Strip Supporters:
This is the Control Strip Modules Archive Maintainer. I have been very
busy because of the Midterm Exams. As many of you have already known, the
archive has came back online since the 30th of January. However, the plan
of moving the archive to a SparcStation has "again" been delayed due to
the difficulties in finding certain custom cables.
This archive will be moved again around the end of May 1995, I will post
to comp.sys.mac.system and comp.sys.mac.misc as well as send announcments
to the info-mac mailing list when it changes. So keep your eyes open and
you should be aware of the happenings. Also, you may finger me at
status-location of this archive.
FYI, the current archive address is at
matrix29.wallach.reshall.columbia.edu

For your conveniences, I will resubmit the newest Fetch and Anarchie
bookmarks along with this letter to both Umich and Sumex for your
conveniences. If you wish, you may drop me emails, and I will mail you
those bookmarks as attachments.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or problems about this archive,
please send email to me
Once again, thank you so much for supporting Control Strip and this
Archive.

Hi, Control Strip Fans:

know and hope) :-) It will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the end
of May 1995 (I will have an IP address change then, so just email me and i
will send you the new site address)
To ensure that this archive is up-to-date, I will be compiling Freeware,
Shareware, and "any-other-ware" Modules off the net, CompuServe, America
OnLine, etc. on a regular basis(ususally dialy). However, Control Strip
Developers, please upload or emai me your new module(s), and It will be
available to the net within 1-4 hours.
The modules contained in this archive are NOT commerical softwares.

Subject: ExtensionInformant1.2.hqx
Extension Informant for Macintosh and Power Macintosh v1.2, Copyright ©1995-97,
Joseph Cicinelli. All Rights Reserved. Released on February 19, 1997
Purpose: Ever wonder what that unfamilar extension in your System Folder did or
what it was used for? Have you ever puzzled over why a particular extension
didn't work correctly or wondered if you had an extension installed correctly?
Well, this program was written to answer these questions and more! In its basic
form, Extension Informant is a hypertext-based help system and uses AppleScript
to assist it in performing certain Finder-related tasks such as copying or moving
files. In addition to its application-like behavior, it also possesses a
drag-and-drop interface that permits you to drop an unfamilar extension on its
icon to discover the extension's purpose (if it's in the database of course! ).
In addition to adding approximately 30 new extensions and descriptions, Internet
web links (URLs) have been added for each of the extensions so that finding the
latest update or locating the software will be much easier. Clicking on one of
these will launch your internet web browser and load the desired site.
Requirements: 1. 4 MB of RAM and approximately 3.1 MB of disk space.
2. To take full advantage of Extension Informant's powerful trouble shooting
capabilities, you will need to have AppleScript 1.1 or later installed. If you
are currently using System 7.5 or later, you have AppleScript installed and
simply need to make sure it is active and loaded at startup. The Finder
Scripting Extension will also need to be loaded as well as the English Dialect
file inside the Scripting Additions folder within the Extensions Folder.
3. If you have a PowerPC, the program is a Fat Binary and can thus take
advantage of your machine's speed!

Subject: FMP-Database-Catalog-1.02/05
FMP Database Catalog READ ME [05/20/95] - Version 1.05, Edition 02
Welcome
You have just downloaded one of the most innovative new products designed
for FileMaker Pro developers and FMP end-users.
The FMP Database Catalog is an electronic, interactive FileMaker Pro
based catalog comprised of information regarding highest quality,
shareware, freeware, and/or commercial FMP databases, templates, and/or
related FileMaker services. It can be searched, printed and browsed by
using the clean, professional graphical-user interface. This is an
evolving project. Each day more and more people/companies are realizing
the potential of registering their products or services for entry into
the FMP Database Catalog. You can be sure it will be supported for many
years to come!
Adding your template to this database is attractive for a number of reasons.
For Example: It provides you with an inexpensive source of
high-distribution advertising that is function specific (people who use this
database to search for solutions will already have to have FileMaker Pro
to view it). In other words, the advertising is accurately selective -
your target market is already selected for you. Secondly, the information
in the database is well organized and easy to read/follow. Users will
be able to search for a template (or category of templates), read the
description, readme files, view a sample screen shot, or logo, of the
template, find out how to contact the author, compare/contrast templates
against their competition, and even fill out the provided registration form
(assuming your template is shareware or commercial). This is an essential
resource for you - the FileMaker Pro template developer, AS WELL AS the casual
FileMaker Pro user who is searching for the template that will make their
lives, or their job, easier.
The distribution of this database is one of the primary reasons you
should add your template to the "FMP Database Catalog." Every few weeks
I will be uploading a new version (assuming there are new entries), to
America On-Line, the info-mac archives, the University of Michigan Archives,
and local bulletin boards. The database will also be available from
*various* World Wide Web sites/pages. This is an unparalleled
advertising opportunity. This database pinpoints possible clients and
gives them all the necessary information to get in touch with you and
your product - WORLD WIDE!
All the data in the database is provided by the author of the template. YOU
provide all the detailed information you like - including: the readme files
(or BRIEF manuals), a single screen shot/sound, a registration form (if you
choose), a short "bio" or description of your product, and more. Since you
are providing all the information, there is absolutely NO bias or
preferential treatment (we can't be bribed)
Don't miss out on this premium opportunity to spread the word about YOUR
hard work and YOUR FileMaker Pro product or service...
If you are an end-user of FMP and you are searching for a FMP solution, this
is the perfect file for you. It is 100% to anyone who wants to view it
and it contains loads of useful information. We hope you find what you
are looking for!
Special Note: If your product is offered to the Public 100% free of charge
(freeware), you can add your product to the FMP Database Catalog free of
charge!
Thanking you in advance for your efforts, I am

Subject: How Big is the Mac Archive
As students and collectors of the Mac Community File Archive we became
interested in determining the size and compostion of the Mac Archive.
We analysed all the major online archives and most of the CD collections
that have been released during 1996. Our analysis with graphs of the age
size and composition of most of the archive is available at
http://ianandstuart.simplenet.com.
We estimate the public online Mac Community Archive is 30,000 compressed
files for 10GBytes expanding to 150,000 files. The complete online
Archive is 45,000 compressed files for 15GBytes expanding to 250,000
files. The complete Mac Archive is 150,000 files for 30GBytes that should
expand to 650,000 files. We estimate that total online Mac file space is
less than 500GBytes with the complete computing Archive less than 10
Terabytes.

Subject: Hypercard FAQ 1.1 stack (1 of 5)
The following is a binhexed version of a hypercard stack containing the
Hypercard FAQ version 1.1, released in the last 2 weeks by Peter Fleck, the
"Keeper of the FAQ". The stack will run on Hypercard 2.x, is pretty basic in
its operation, but easy to use. Having the FAQ in stack format is not only
appropriate, but allows easy browsing and finding of text.
I corresponded with Peter Fleck in developing this stack, and it is released
with his permission, subject to the same conditions which apply to the FAQ
(text file version) itself -- it may be freely distributed unaltered, but not
for profit or as part of a for-profit enterprise (copyright and distribution
details are in the stack).
The file is in 5 parts.

This announcement is from:
Dan Frakes
InformINIT:
MacUser Shareware of the Year Award, 5-Mice Award, MacWorld Online Pick.
InformINIT's web site is a MacWorld Best Mac Web Site.
If you've ever wondered what all of those control panels, extensions, and
other System-related files in your System Folder are for, InformINIT is
for you!
InformINIT is an application which provides information on a
mind-boggling number of System Folder files: control panels, extensions,
system folder contents, and more -- from both Apple and third-party
developers. Information includes file descriptions, who needs what,
version numbers, RAM consumption, and helpful tips (even a few
"secrets"). Where appropriate, files are organized into "groups" that are
mainly used together. Live URLs to information sources on the Web are
provided for files that require extensive discussion.
But InformINIT is not just "INITs" -- it contains sections on installing
the latest system software, files which don't take up system RAM, items
found loose in the System Folder, startup file management utilities,
PRAM, and the Modern Memory Manager. It also contains a primer on System
software for beginners, and a thorough discussion of the new HFS Plus
file format by Eric Belsley of the Mac Resource Page. It also provides
links to some of the best Mac info sites on the Web.There have been many
imitations of, and efforts similar to, InformINIT, but it remains THE
reference for System Folder information. Even Apple's own technical
support staff uses it and recommends it to customers!
InformINIT 8.1 is current through Mac OS 8.1.
System requirements: InformINIT will run on all Mac OS computers except
for those with 68000 processors. It requires 1.5 MB of free RAM, and less
than 1MB of hard drive space.
For more information, please visit the InformINIT web page:

Subject: Macintosh Graphics FAQ v2
This is a slightly revised version of my graphics FAQ for Mac computers,
questions that I keep seeing because people keep asking. Hopefully if they
look for answers before they ask the same old questions, they'll find my
FAQ and life will be just peachy. This version that I'm uploading is in
DocMaker format, and looks almost as nice as the web page version (which
is):
http://www.redshift.com/~surfvh/X/MacGraphicsFAQ.html
I picked docmaker as the format because you can select and drag the URLs
out of the window and into a browser or download program. That's nicer than
using a smaller format that doesn't allow that, binhexing a SimpleText file
seems silly, and raw text (resource fork stripped) doesn't look as nice...
Plus I just needed some reason to download the new version of docmaker. So
hopefully you'll find out something from this FAQ.

Subject: MacKitty(tm) V1.0
Enclosed is a demo version of MacKitty(tm), a pedigree database
management program for cat breeders. The demo version is only different
from the regular version in that you cannot save your changes. The demo
comes with the program itself, a sample data file, the user manual, the
demo license agreement, and an order form for the full program.
The program requires System 7.x and comes as a FAT version optimized for
both 68K and PPC architectures.
Below is a short excerpt from the manual introduction:
MacKitty is a Macintosh program for the serious breeder of pedigreed
cats. It is a program primarily for the maintenance of pedigree
information on all of the cats in a cattery. Some of the information in
the database includes name, awards, common name, breed, color,
registration number, date of birth, and sire's and dam's names. An
unlimited number of cats may be entered into the database limited only
by the available memory in your computer. This program uses many of the
Mac user interface features that Mac users have come to love and
expect... Complete 3 and 5 generation pedigrees may be generated and
displayed to the screen and/or printed.

Mac OS Ideas is a Graphical FAQ based on an ongoing discussion regarding
enhancements to the Macintosh Operating System.
With this revision, I've added "Balloon Talk" to the Assistance menu, have
redesigned the "System Setup" (control panels) menu, have changed the
system font from Geneva 9 to Espy Bold 10, and have made a few other
cosmetic changes. In addition, I've added a few "Detail" PICTs which
should help further illustrate how each enhancement might look.
Comments on the enhancements are always appreciated, as are new ideas for
us to explore. I am currently working on adding OpenDoc and QuickDraw 3D
functionality to Mac OS Ideas. Are there any other future (or current)
technologies you'd like to see implemented within Mac OS Ideas? Do you
have any other ideas regarding how the computers of tomorrow might help us
to work more productively? For fast processing, please send feedback to
"omli@halcyon.com" with the subject "MacOS Feedback

Version 8 of the Macintosh Updates Database - 15-May-94
This file contains a huge amount of information regarding all of the
Macintosh software updates from Apple that we know about currently.
Although not historically complete, the database contains most everything
from System 6.0.7 on up, including intermediate versions of things like
System 7 Tune-Up. Included in the database are things like which Mac models
the update applies to, what versions the update supersedes and is
superseded by, what the new functions are, what the fixes are, when it was
released, where the files are located online, and other good stuff.
Frankly, anyone who deals with the Macintosh seriously should snag a copy
of this database since you never know when you'll want to find out what the
latest version of the Network Software Installer is, or what version of
which Enabler you need to get for your buddy's new Mac.
As with anything that attempts to track a moving target like Macintosh
software updates, this database is constantly in flux. There are plenty of
typographical errors and things we couldn't find in time - don't worry
about the typos, but if you find errors or have updates - send them to
about a lot of updates that we haven't had time to enter.)
This file contains versions in in ClarisWorks database format, setext
(suitable for viewing with Easy View) and straight tab-delimited text (if
you wish to import into HyperCard or FileMaker Pro or something similar).
If you just want the setext version to view on a Unix box without any
decoding, look for:
ftp://ftp.tidbits.com/pub/tidbits/misc/mac-updates-94-05-15.etx
The database was created by Tim Levy
from Alex Sirota, and I've done the setext conversions in Nisus. Look for
an article in TidBITS#223 for more information.
cheers ... Adam C. Engst, TidBITS Editor

MacSoftIndex is NOT an application but a Text File containing a
tab-delimited Database (meaning that each line is a record and this
record is divided by tabs into fields - a format readily importable into
a good number of commonly used applications) which contains information
on thousands of programs for Macintosh computers. These programs are
mainly available as Shareware/Freeware but there is also some less well
known commercial software. Well-known commercial software is not
represented in this version and neither is standard system software as
you already have it!
Apart from general information such as what kind of software it is
(control panel, stack, application, etc), size, dates, and so forth,
there is usually a description of what it does and a reference to what
realm of operation (system, text, image, sound, etc) together with a
subclass of this reference (conversion, print, catalogue, etc), thus
providing many possibilities of selection.
How could you possibly not have the only product which lists from A to
Z nearly all the software there is for the Mac?

Subject: [*] Installing Omega SANE Patch into System 7.1
[Note: This is a second posting. The first one was bounced because
some mailer had mangled the header.]
Here's an article which describes in great detail how to install Apple's
Omega Sane resources into the new System 7.1. This article was written
by Dick Andrian, Editor of the Northeastern Users of Macintosh (NEUMac)
User's Group newsletter, and it greatly expands the clarifies the
theme expounded in a recent MacinTouch article in MacWeek. The article
is in MS Word 5.0 format, and includes several screen snapshots of
the various ResEdit steps involved.
For those unfamiliar with the background, Omega Sane is a patch to
the Standard Apple Numerics Environment (SANE) which implements
floating-point arithmetic. The Omega patch speeded up most
F.P. calcs substantially, and fixed a few bugs as well. The Omega
patch was included in System 7.0, but unaccountably omitted in
System 7.1. To make things even more confusing, the Quadra 950
has the Omega SANE patch in its ROM's, but most other Macs don't.
(note to Info-Mac editors: the article follows in a BinHex'd
Compactor Pro self-extracting Archive in the next two mail
messages.)

Two years in the making! Well, in my spare time, anyway... attached to this
message is my Second Photoshop User's Report. I just sent it to the people I
know at Adobe. Adobe said of my first report that it was "the best-researched
report we've ever received." In fact, they fixed all the bugs listed in it and
adopted many of the suggestions for new or revised features.
This second, expanded report contains ten pages of new bugs, design bugs, and
suggestions for new features- complete with several illustrative diagrams-and
the inevitable advertisement at the end (i.e. me talking about myself on page
eleven... but you can always skip that).
This is a Stuffit 3.x archive, which expands into a self-running document that
can be viewed on screen or printed without your needing any particular
application or fonts. Please feel free to distribute it to other bulletin
boards. Thanks.

Subject: 5 Resedit Tips
ResEdit 2.1 gives you the tools to tinker with System 7Us new interface, and
with a little effort you can accomplish almost any tweak you want. To get you
started, here are five ResEdit projects that include step-by-step instructions
on customizing techniques, as well as sample resources to illustrate each tip.
RFive ResEdit TipsS lets you:
1. Decorate your desktop with a selection of 16-x-16-, 32-x-32-, and
64-x-64-pixel patterns.
2. Create your own Startup screens, in any size or color you desire.
3. Graft icons onto files; clean up icons; touch up small icons; and use the
BNDL (bundle) resource to globally assign color icons to documents (for
example, all Microsoft Word files, all FileMaker Pro documents, or all
HyperCard stacks).
4. Assign color startup icons to old INITs and control panels so you have
something pretty to look at while you wait for your Mac to start up.
5. Master the elusive TMPL (template) resource and edit new and unknown
resource types.
Each of the above techniques is illustrated with sample resources; among these
is a template for editing the new Finder menu resource (the enigmatic fmnu),
thereby adding Command-key shortcuts to the FinderUs File, Edit, and Special
menus.

From: "Andrew E. Scheck"
Subject: re :Water marks in MS Word 5.1 (I did it!)
Thanks to those who responded to my "watermark" request. I must not
have made myself clear enough that I knew I could do the PostScript method in
the header, because I got some responses that said I could do it with
PostScript in the header. Some told me where to find the code and some even
sent me the code for doing "Draft".
My "Draft" example was just so that people knew what I was talking
about--I really wanted to be able to use any arbitrary graphic. While again,
I know (think) that I could convert the graphic to PostScript and include it
in the header, it becomes somewhat more complex because, other than
extracting the text from an EPS(F) version of the picture generated by
MacDraw Pro or using that capability with the new print drivers, I don't have
a good way of generating real, arbitrarily-positionable(?) PostScript code to
use in the header. I would really just like to place the picture in the
header.
Two of the responses I received lead me to believe that this was
still possible, although without being able to see the combined image except
in the page layout view...
Dwight Lemke writes...
"... If you want to print to a quickdraw device, you create the
watermark in a drawing package, rotate it 45 degrees, and adjust
the header so it overprints the text. This WILL appear in page
layout view."
Tonya Engst writes...
"... So, if you want text to overlap some item in Word (4 or
5), you can stick the item in the header and set the top margin
(Format/Document) to an exact measurement (you have to set it
to exact so that the header doesn't push the text down too far).
In Word 5, you can choose exact from a popdown menu; in Word
4, you enter a negative number in the top margin box, say -1
for "exactly one inch." You can then stick postscript code in
the header to print a largish, grayed out DRAFT (or whatever
text you desire) or you can put a graphic (or a large, bordered,
table cell to make a full-page border) or what have you in the
header. Word (like most Mac programs :-)) can't do display PostScript,
so if you use the PostScript code method - as Andy notes - you
can't see the result of the code until you print to a PostScript
printer. If you use non-PostScript code - a graphic of some sort
perhaps - you are likely to see a decent representation in Print
Preview, though not normal or page layout view.
Conclusion? For Andy (or anyone like Andy) to solve the problem,
you can either:
1. Use a different program...
2. Consider making a graphic having the word DRAFT and placing
that in the header.
3. Experiment with frames, but prepare for frustration.
..."
Well, after following Tonya's instructions carefully (and not using a
"framed" graphic in the header) just positioning the graphic using the ruler,
"Format/Section..." and "Format/Document" I was able to get essentially what
I wanted: arbitrary graphic, easy positioning and perfect printing (yellow
objects come out a nice light gray)--I'm just not able to see both graphic
and text simultaneously on the screen.
Here is my result ...
