This feature, as useful as it is, does not seem to be consistent. For 
example, in Macromedia Studio MX, Freehand, Fireworks and Flash have 
the check box but Dreramweaver doesn't, yet all work fine in MacOS 9. 
Many other instances of similar anomalies abound. I would also love to 
know the answer as well.

AppleWorks 6 & Classic

[Mervyn & Giuliana Bond]

In the OSX-Classic environment is it possible to get AppleWorks to 
print from the Classic part of the environment?


From the Help menu there is advise that for applications that work in 
both OS9 and OSX there is a box on the Get Info dialogue box that one 
can tick and untick so that the application works in Classic (box 
ticked) or in OSX ( box is unticked). AppleWorks does not appear to 
have such an option.


Advice please.

I suppose if its necessary for schoolies to go to Rottnest to drink to
excess, its okay for adults to go there to watch television !

Rottnest was my holiday haunt for over 35 years. One of the greatest

burdens.

[OT] Power filters

[Matthew Healey]

This post is slightly off topic, so please respond off-list.

A friend of mine has a fairly large boat which he takes to Rotnest on 
fairly regular basis. He has a television and VCR on this boat and this 
is where the problems are starting.


The TV is producing a very audible buzz or hum when it's turned on. The 
sound is coming from the speakers because the hum gets louder when you 
turn up the volume. The problem happens even when a tape is being 
played so the problem is not the reception. The problem also doesn't 
occur when the TV is plugged into a land line, so it's not the TV.


The only thing that is left if the power inverter. I am not sure what 
sort of power the inverter puts out (sine/square wave).


Typically what sort of power do televisions require and can I get some 
sort of filter to get rid of the noise?

Re: Video Capture Hard Drives

[Martin Hill]

Note that article was created two and a half years ago and would have 
been before higher-throughput Oxford 911 interfaces were available 
for external firewire drives. Notice for example that the article 
mentions G4s as only having an ATA-66 bus for IDE drives but today's 
G4s have ATA-100 as the main bus. I don't think the modification 
date on the article of 12/13/02 means they properly updated the 
article for today's situation, so I think most users will be pretty 
safe running modern Firewire drives on modern Macs for video capture. 
Certainly our experience has been positive.


Anyone had any contrary experience?

Well, you could always download and compile Darwin for Intel, 
although that won't get you any of the GUI stuff unless you're 
running X-Windows based applications.




Alternatively, 10 of your seconds searching  
for "macintosh emulator" will reveal several Mac emulators. I doubt 
you'll have much fun running OS X on them though.

RE: Problems sending Outlook Express to Exchange 5.5 (Mac to Windows)

[Gordon Morris]

If you are connected to Exchange system and using OS 9.2 or older why not use 
the Outlook client?

It is nearly 10Mb in size though.

-Original Message-
From: Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Sent: Monday, 16 December 2002 2:27 PM
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Problems sending Outlook Express to Exchange 5.5 (Mac to Windows)



Hoping someone can shed some light on what's going on when I send attachments 
from my home based iMac (using Outlook Express 5.02) to fellow employeeson the 
corporate network. The corporate network uses Outlook Exchange Server 5.5.

I've tried various methods of sending the attachments - all at once and 
individually. I've also tried different attachments, eg. doc, xls, and tif 
files. Sending the xls file separately is the only one that seemed to work, 
but, if you read on, I think that has more to do with the particular content 
rather than the fact that it's an xls file. I might be wrong there though.

I also tried sending the same multiple attachments after changing the default 
'AppleDouble' encoding in Outlook Express to 'Windows (MIME/Base64)', but that 
didn't seem to make any difference.

Another clue. I converted the Word (doc) file to an rtf, and that worked okay.

At the other end, the body of the email received reads...

---
The Microsoft Exchange Server received an Internet message that could not be 
processed. To view the original message content, open the attached message.
---

The attachments that have been sent as various documents from my end have been 
converted and received at the other end as a message.txt attachment, which when 
opened appears to have the text of my original documents but in anASCII form, 
all formatting lost, and all lumped into one file.

I came across the following article at 


-
PRB: Exchange Server 5.5 Rejects POP3 Messages in Base64

The information in this article applies to:

€ Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
€ Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
€ Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q270614

SYMPTOMS
If you submit a message that has a Base64 body part to Exchange versions 5.5 
and earlier by using Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), and the body part contains 
extraneous characters after the termination sequence, you may receivethe 
following error message even if the extraneous characters are otherwise valid: 

The Microsoft Exchange Server received an Internet message that could not be 
processed. To view the original message content, open the attached message. 
<> 

CAUSE
Exchange only accepts Base64 encodings that are multiples of 4 in size. 
Theextraneous characters cause the encoding size to not be a multiple of 4, so 
Exchange rejects the encoding.

RESOLUTION
Do not append extra characters to the end of a Base64 sequence that is 
submitted to Exchange.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
-

Is there something simple that I can do at my end, or my employer can do 
attheir end, that avoids this problem?

I'd be most grateful for any tips.

Regards...Steven

Many System CD's produced in those days contained a "System Enabler" 
file which was specific to the computer with which it was sold. It 
sounds as though there is no System Enabler for the 7600 on the CD in 
question.
