  • Using Netpresenz
    NetPresenz 4.1 from netpresenz.com NB: Please click the "I Paid" checkbox in NetPresenz Setup - FTP Setup dialog. Contents What NetPresenz Does Features Using NetPresenz Setup FTP Setup WWW and Gopher Setup FTP Setup Details Scripting NetPresenz Setup Using NetPresenz Referring to your Server Using NetPresenz from a Un*x FTP Client Remote Volume Mounting Miscellaneous FTP Commands WWW Server Side Includes CGIs Java Missing files Gopher Security Considerations Avoid the Wrath of your Network Admin Limitations Remote Site Access Restrictions Acknowledgements How It Works What NetPresenz Does NetPresenz is a Macintosh implementation of the WWW, Gopher and FTP server protocols. It should be compatible with most FTP clients, and all WWW and Gopher clients. Basically it allows your Mac to act as an FTP server so you (and others) can access your files from anywhere around the world. Obviously there are some serious security considerations you should look into before using this software (see the Security Considerations section). NetPresenz requires System 7, MacTCP 1.1, and File Sharing enabled. It honours the Users & Groups privileges and passwords, and supports multiple logins, anonymous FTP (user name “anonymous” or “ftp”), as well as MacBinary and BinHex transfers, and the “MACB” FTP command. You can run NetPresenz as a foreground application (displaying the log), or as a background only application (use NetPresenz Setup to toggle between the two). Features Support WWW, Gopher and FTP connections. Full CGI support. Multiple simultaneous users. Honours System 7 Users & Groups (in fact depends on them!). Server Side Includes (SSI), counters and include files, file modification date and so forth.

    T1UNMAC(1) General Commands Manual T1UNMAC(1) NAME t1unmac − translate a Mac PostScript Type 1 font into PFAorPFB format SYNOPSIS t1unmac [−a|−b][−r][input [output]] DESCRIPTION t1unmac extracts POST resources from a Macintosh PostScript font file and creates a PFA (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) font file. The file input should be in MacBinary I or II, AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHexformat, or it can be a rawresource fork. If the file is a raw resource fork, you need to give the ‘−−raw’ option; otherwise t1unmac should automatically figure out what kind of file you have.Ifthe file output is not specified output goes to the standard output. OPTIONS −−pfa, −a Output in PFA(ASCII) format. −−pfb, −b Output in PFB (binary) format. This is the default. −−raw, −r Indicates that the input is a rawresource fork. −−macbinary Indicates that the input is in MacBinary I or II format. −−applesingle Indicates that the input is in AppleSingle format. −−appledouble Indicates that the input is in AppleDouble format. −−binhex Indicates that the input is in BinHex4.0 format. −−block−length=num, −l num PFB only: Set the maximum output block length to num. The default length is as large as memory allows. −−line−length=num, −l num PFAonly: Set the maximum length of encrypted lines in the output to num. (These are the lines consisting wholly of hexadecimal digits.) The default is 64. EXAMPLES On Mac OS X, you can use t1unmac to translate a font into PFAorPFB format as follows: % t1unmac −−rawFONTFILENAME/..namedfork/rsrc > OUTPUT SEE ALSO t1mac(1), t1ascii(1), t1binary(1), t1asm(1), t1disasm(1) AUTHORS Lee Hetherington ([email protected]) Eddie Kohler ([email protected]) Ported to Microsoft C/C++ Compiler and MS-DOS operating system by Kai-Uwe Herbing ([email protected]).
