For those who don't know, this is a corporate empire-building game. Trade stocks, build mines, logging camps, oil wells, farms, factories, retail outlets, and R&D centers. The conditions for winning are defined by each scenario. Has a "Civilization" kind of feel to it, ie there's a bird's-eye view of a large map, with the various facilities being placed in different spots. Very detailed management of the corporate empire, but relatively easy to grasp, given a bit of time. Demo specifics... a very helpful tutorial is included to get one started. Only one scenario from the full game is enabled. Saving and loading saved games is disabled. There's no time limit, though, so the one available scenario is fully functional! System Requirements (taken directly from the demo Readme file) - 68030 or higher Macintosh or any Power Macintosh - System 7.1 or higher - 8Meg RAM required, 16M recommended - 14MB hard disk space - 256 color or better video - QuickTime 2.0 or later required for playing music Happy building!

So I created this more benign installer. This Compact Pro self-extracting archive can be installed directly into the system folder, or into an empty folder. Files contained herein were originally installed on system 7.1 68030 MacTCP but should be compatible with 7.5.x MacTCP or OT and should work on a PPC. Q: What's wrong with the original FreePPP2.5 distribution? A: The original distribution uses Internet Monkey. Unfortunately, they have configured Internet Monkey to do some annoying stuff: Internet Monkey: * Quits all applications, even if you're only installing the Read Me. * Updates and removes (or copys?) prefs files from your system folder. * Creates those annoying "Backup" folders every time it's run. * Requires 2500k of RAM. * Does not completely explain everything that it does to your system. * Humiliating experience of having to relinquish your Mac to an Installer that you don't trust and/or don't like. FPF: + You can use Compact Pro to extract only those files which you want >From FPF. FPF provides you with the files you need and leaves it at that. + When using the self-extracting feature of FPF, you can install into an empty folder OR into your system folder. It prompts you for permission to overwrite files with same names. (You should have your previous version of PPP backed up anyway.) Oh, and you must manually remove previous PPP/SLIP versions. + FPF does not affect your preferences files. + FPF runs in 300k. + FPF is a Compact Pro archive, tried and true, an accepted user interface standard. + I have modified the standard file dialogue of FPF to make it a little more clear for the newbie.

Last month I bought a new PowerMac 8500/150 with 7.5.3, subsequently upgraded to 7.5.5. I have a LaCie/Iomega Jaz drive, an older LaCie ZFP 120MB drive, and a Relax Technologies 88 MB Syquest drive on the external SCSI bus. All those plus the 2GB internal drive are formatted with LaCie Silverlining software. I also run the Now Utilities, version 6.5, and Norton's FileSaver. Before putting the Jaz on the PowerMac, I had it on my old IIci for file transfer and it made frequent data transfer errors no matter how I set up and terminated the SCSI bus. I thought perhaps it was just too fast for the old CPU. On the PowerMac I don't get data transfer errors but the whole system acts flaky. Sometimes it can't access the ZFP disk at boot time and locks it out. Sometimes the system crashes just as the finder is starting (removing an init often fixes that, but which init is at fault seems to be random). Files get corrupted -- eg, Norton reports damaged resource forks in applications. One of the Jaz volumes can't be dismounted any more (error numbers -58 and -410). It's driving me crazy. I have reordered the bus, tried active and passive termination, swapped cables, etc. to no avail. If anyone can shed any light on this, I'll be very grateful. Tom Fortmann fortmann@bbn.com Original posting: ---------------- From: harrist@lamp.ac.uk (Trevor Harris) Subject: SCSI problems with 7.5.3 / 7.5.5 We have a JVC archiver CD-ROM backup facility running on a PowerMac 7100/66. It has an AV rated hard drive and has always worked well under system 7.1.2. Since upgrading the system to 7.5.3 and then to 7.5.5, however, the drive appears to be unable to keep up with the required transfer rate and the software reports an error "Drive ran out of data because hard disc could not keep up with requests. Your source must be fast enough to keep up with WCD-ROM drive". Having reinstalled 7.1.2 on the AV drive and used that as the boot volume the archiver works flawlessly again. Has anyone a clue as to what is going on? Does 7.5.3 / 7.5.5 need a SCSI or other extension to enable the SCSI chain to work efficiently? ------------------------------ Date: 27 Jan 1997 20:07:10 GMT From: Dale Bricker Subject: Serial Port Liberation!!! Hi: The following problem has been bugging me for many months and I cannot seem to resolve it. At this moment I am trying to print a Microsoft Word document, but giving a print command just results in repeatedly getting "the serial port is currently in use by another application, please quit that application and print again." But I have no other applications open! Is there some freeware or shareware product that can force quit mysterious serial- port hogging applications? By the way, sometimes I'm using GX and sometimes I'm not, but I seem to get this problem notewithstanding, with the only solution I've devised yet far being to just do an annoying restart.

If you mistyped and received "URL not found" message you could reopen the rectanle and the (incorrect) URL would still be there. You could then easily modify the Locator. Nowadays, when I reopen the rectangle it's blank and I have to retype the entire URL. That's not too bad in most cases, but have you ever seen some of Apple's URLs? Question: I'm now running Netscape 3.0.1. Is the disappearing URL a "feature" of 3.0.1? BTW: I had the same situation with Version 3.0. I've carefully looked in all the Options settings and cant find anything that I can chage to make the URL remain the the box. Any suggestions or comments? -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
