Variants of the CDEF and T4 viruses forced several antiviral utility vendors to update their products last week. Shipping should take six to eight weeks, according to the nice lady at the order line.Īccording to an announcement from Gene Spafford at Purdue University, Macintosh virus-busters now face two new variants of existing viruses. Apple's order-processing house will accept orders for the $10 disk-by-mail version if you call 800/892-4649.
1993 MAC EMULATOR SOFTWARE
Suffice it to say that the software IS now available, on AppleLink under the path "Software Sampler -> Apple SW Updates -> Macintosh -> Supplemental System Software," via anonymous FTP on in the directory, from dealers, and from user groups and other online services that are licensed to distribute Apple software, including CompuServe, America Online, and BIX. Different quarters at Apple gave conflicting reports as to whether these items existed, or if they'd been released, and the fact that the software was already circulating confused the issue even more. Unfortunately, there's been confusion as to availability of these items. In TidBITS-164, we reported the release of Apple's long-awaited 32-bit System Enabler, replacing MODE32 for System 7.1 users, and a Hardware System Update, consisting of performance enhancements for some users. Anbinder, Contributing Editor - Support Coordinator, BAKA Computers Thanks for thinking about our articles!īy Mark H. The best places to continue discussion of issues raised in TidBITS include: the Info-Mac digest, and its mirror on Usenet, the TidBITS section on CompuServe the MacWEEK and MacUser forums on ZiffNet/Mac (especially appropriate if the topic has also been raised in either of those magazines) the TidBITS Announcements folder in the Macintosh Hardware Forum on America Online and the mac.hack/tidbits area on BIX. As such, I encourage you to send letters to discussion areas I frequent, since then I will possibly reply to and use your messages, but others can benefit as well. That way more people can read ideas and respond to them, creating healthy discussion. We would all be better served if much of the thought generated by TidBITS went to discussion groups, rather than to only me. However, it's not so great in the sense that I'm becoming overloaded and nobody else gets to read the discussions. TidBITS Discussions! - Feedback on articles continues unabated, which is great because we at TidBITS benefit from the ideas, stories, and suggestions. I've already asked the estimable Mark Williamson at Rice (he's the LISTSERV guru there) to fix the local mailing lists that were in this last batch. If you're the list administrator, send me email and I'll fix that for local distribution lists. The second possibility is that you receive TidBITS from a local distribution list, and we haven't configured that list in such a way that it doesn't need to renew. To the same LISTSERV address listed above. In this instance, I recommend letting the old subscription lapse and subscribe again from your current account. The most likely is that your email address appears differently in your header information than it does in the LISTSERV's list - thus the two don't match and the LISTSERV thinks you aren't who you say. Several people have sent the CONFIRM TIDBITS mailfile correctly, only to discover that the LISTSERV claims they aren't on the list. To renew your subscription to our mailing list when the LISTSERV asks you to, send email this line in the body of the mailfile: Thus replying to the renewal letter WILL NOT WORK (and I'll get swamped with email). I didn't realize, in my original posting, that the Reply-To address would be set to an address that bounced directly to me. All rights reserved.Īs many of you found out yesterday, the LISTSERV is busy sending out its renewal notices to weed out unused accounts.
