November 1992 Washington Apple Pi Journal 15 TC OPEN LETTER TO Pl MEMBERS

Dear Pi Member, One of the best benefits of belonging to Washington Apple Pi is that, for a small additional fee, you can get a password to use the TCS, WAP's 24-hour-a-day TeleCommunications System. We are very proud of the TCS, which is unique among electronic bulletin board systems in the number of simultaneous callers it supports and the depth and range of service it offers. The TCS offers the latest and most popular Apple II and Macintosh public do­ main, freeware and shareware software. From virus protection programs to games, from high-quality Postscript and TrueType fonts to funny beep sounds, from useful utility programs to the latest System software from Apple (which the TCS is specially licensed to bring to you); you choose whatever you want, whenever you want it, from over a thousand selections. The TCS also allows you to post messages for others to read. No technical question is too easy or too difficult for the many experts who use the TCS daily. If you want opinions or information on anything from software to ethnic restaurants, the answer is a phone call away. If you want to discuss WAP or world affairs,Claris prod­ ucts or current movies, they're all on the TCS. And all of this costs only $9 per year. Period. If you've ever thought about exploring telecomputing, the TCS is a great way to begin. By joining now, you will also see us unfold the biggest improvements to the TCS in the last six years. Your support now is very important to us, too. To use the TCS, from home or from the office, you need a small device called a modem. If you don't already have one, we want to help. For $25 you may buy a 1200 baud Hayes brand modem, a cable to fit your Macintosh or Apple, and all the neces­ sary software to use the TCS. (The modem can also be used with other on-line ser.­ vices, as well.) This special offer is only good while supplies last - place your order nowl Use the order form included with this special notice. If you need help getting started, the Pi offers tutorials on the TCS at the WAP office. Hotline volunteers also answer questions concerning the TCS. We hope to see you on the TCS, WAP's 24-hour General Meeting! Sincerely, The WAP Telecommunications Committee

File In these days of cheap storage, modem operating systems have gotten more complex Attributes and more individualized than ever before. And with multiple forks, files are no longer the same "shape" they used to be. In order to shoehorn these new capabilities into old standards, an additional protocol layer is required for successful file transfers. The MacBinary standard has been around almost as long as Macs. have had modems. Every popular Mac terminal program supports it by default for transferring files with Mac Binary their appropriate attributes. The· MacBinary-capable sender encapsulates the file attributes, data fork and resource fork in a sequential stream of data which can be sent and stored in any operating system. When it comes back to the Mac via modem, the terminal program decodes this file into its component parts. If the file comes on disk or over a network, a separate utility or translator may be required. Modeled aft.er the MacBinary standard, Apple II users have their own method for Binary II retaining file attributes. Unfortunately it's not been around very long and it's largely misunderstood. Modem Apple II terminal software should transparently handle Binary II encoding and decoding. There are still programs around which do not.

o celebrate Computer Learn­ ing Month, we thought it T might be nice to include screen shots from several popular Apple II educational programs. Ifa picture is worth a thousand words, "'then a single screen shot from a software program should be able to replace an entire page of text in the WAP Journal. Instead of writing several pages of text about these wonderful programs, we thought we'd let the programs speak for themselves. Should you be interested in learn­ ing more about the educational pro­ grams displayed in these screen shots we invite you to stop by the regular EdSIG (Education Special Interest Group) meetings held at the club office (in Bethesda) on the fourth Thursday of every month. Also, several ofthese programs have been reviewed in past issues of the WAP Journal. If you just recently joined the club, you can locate back-issues of the WAP Journal at the club's of­ fice. A complete set of WAP Jour­ nals is kept on a shelf in the club's hard copy library. It's helpful to know that the office has a photo­ copier available for use by mem­ bers, too. Some of you may be wondering how these Apple II screen shots were made. The screens were cap­ tured on a Mac LC. The Apple II software was booted using the LC's Ile card. After booting the Apple II

52 Washington Apple Pi Journal November 1992 Bi Text Machine 2.0 ..,) -+Read a File __Hel ______Demonstration Printer OFF Other Activities Quit Use arrow ke s ress Return software, the technique to capture an Apple II screen in Macintosh format is to press the three key combination: Command-Shift-3. (Apple II users might take note that the Macintosh key is identical ·to the Apple II key.) Regardless of what is happening on the Apple II screen, a Macintosh dialogue box will jump up onto the screen. The dialogue box asks you to give a file name for the screen you're saving. Because this dialogue box is a Macintosh (rather than Apple II) dialogue box, you can give a file name of up to 32 characters. (Apple II'sProDOS, on the other hand, limits file names to 15 charac­ ters.) After you type in a file name and press return, you're shown the regular Macintosh save screen. At this point you can choose where to place the screen file on the Mac hard drive. Or perhaps you might want to save the screen right onto a formatted Mac floppy disk. It's helpful to know that the average Apple II screen takes up about 15 to 20K on a Macintosh disk. So you can safely fit about 40 Apple II screens on an BOOK Mac disk. When using the Ile card on the Mac LC, you need to know how to get into the Ile control panel. Apple IIGS fans will be famil­ iar with the key combination to get into the control panel: Apple-Control-Escape. How­ ever, on the Mac LC both the key and the key positions on the key­ board are elsewhere. The key has moved south from its location on the Apple II keyboard. On the Mac LC keyboard you can find it in the lower left.hand corner. The key seems to have escaped alto­ gether from its previous location and can be

November 1992 Washington Apple Pi Journal 53 found immediately to the right ofthe space bar. After you've finished doing your Apple II screen saves, you'll likely want to return to the Mac LC's desktop. To do so, go to the Ile control panel, ·and then choose the option. When the Apple II screens are saved in Macintosh format, they show up as TeachText files on the Macintosh desktop. Theoretically, you should be able to double­ click on these icons and have the Apple II screen pop up onto your Macintosh screen. But doing so gives you the message: "Un­ able to open this TeachText file." Fortunately you can still import these files into a Mac page layout program, such as PageMaker. Once in PageMaker, you can scale down the dimensions ofthe screen shot. Very rarely will you want to print a screen shot in its full, original size. PageMaker does an excellent job of scaling down the Apple II screens without distort­ ing the graphics in any serious way. What else can you do with these Apple II screens, you might ask. Well, it's possible to import them into a MacHyperCard stack. Doing so requires a little maneuvering, though. HyperCard does not recognize the graphic file format ofthese Apple II screens, so you'll need to load them into a Mac paint program, such as SuperPaint, and then save them in a different graphics format. A standard Mac graphics file format is "MacPaint format." One small caveat, though. When you import an Apple II screen into Mac HyperCard, the bottom seventh of the

54 Washington Apple Pi Journal November 1992 screen is lost. The reason.for this is the differing aspect ratios of the Apple II and Macintosh screens. De­ pending on the project you're work­ ing on, this may or may not be a problem. As usual, there is prob­ ably some nifty workaround solu­ tion for crafty, imaginative people to figure out.
