1047.0. "Mach 15" by LEDS::ACCIARDI () Sat Jan 09 1988 23:52

    Since everyone liked the Mach12 utility so much, I thought I post
    the latest version, Mach15.  No, I don't know what happened to versions
    13 and 14.
    
    This latest version includes a menu bar clock, download cost meter
    for pay networks, and a few bug fixes.

1047.1...tease!HPSTEK::SENNASun Jan 10 1988 12:493
    Thanks this sounds great!!! But can you unset the protection! I
    can't seem to get it....

    Thanks Ed.  This new version is great!  I can now specify the command
    to be done when Qualifier-ESC is struck.  So long popcli. The mouse
    speed seems to work better, but maybe it's my imagination...  Also the
    hotkeys to toggle the features on and off is nice.

    I also can definately notice some acceleration sensitivity.  The
    menu bar clock is nice too, one of the less obnoxious ones, since
    I can specify it's horizontal coordinates to cover up the default
    WB memory meter.

Only problem is that if you start the SHELL with alt-esc it works fine until
you try to exit... then hello mister guru.

I'm using something like:

	"-eCON:/###/###/###/###/Shell from s:startup-sequence2"

(No I don't remember the exact command) Where startup-sequence2 has in it:

	c:shell s:.login2

that's it. Maybe I ought to resize my stack first?

1047.5Found a gotchaMANTIS::LONGMon Jan 11 1988 13:288
I noticed something the other night with MACH12 that is a little inconvenient
and was wondering if it still exists on 15. On the workbench screen when you
resize a window with icons in it then go up to the menu to do a cleanup, the
window you wanted to cleanup is deactivated so you have to turn off MACH12 to 
do some of these functions. Not enough of an inconvenience to keep me from 
using it but just a bother.

    re: .4
    
    I used runback with a stack of 4000 and had no problems:
    	runback -s4000 machclk...

    re: "-eCON:/###/###/###/###/Shell from s:startup-sequence2"
    
    That's interesting.  I used something similar:
    
    	 "-eNewcli >nil: con:/###/###/###/###/Shell from s:cli-startup"

    I surprised that both worked.

    re: .5
    
    1.5 has builtin hotkeys for turning the features on and off.  It
    also disables certain features like sunmouse when the left mouse
    button is down.  I had no problems dragging icons with this version.
