  I was browsing through the Tenex catalog and noticed a super
  software bundle #2 with "Who, What, When, Where?" an address book,
  calendar, appt. book, scheduler, as well as Phaser 3.0, a home
  budget program and a couple of games, F-40 Pursuit and Hole-In-One
  Miniature Golf, and a joystick for $40.

  Has anyone gotten that package and know if the stuff works under
  2.0?  Are the two "applications" programs, Who, What, When, Where
  and Phaser 3.0 any good?

  I'm looking for something that's like the DayRunner, where you can
  have a phone book, calendar, etc.  W,W,W,W claims to have ARexx
  support, although I don't know how extensive.

I think I found it.  Just before this problem occured, I got an error
message form the OCR program (I didn't write it down).  After that I
crashed on everything I tried to OCR using the same library.  Other librays
work OK, so it's a corrupted library.

I also downloaded it recently and am quite impressed with its performance.
So far it appears quite stable on my setup (A2500/30 WB2.05). My only
complaint is its poor vt100 emulation. I've completely lost the use of
the arrow keys (which I use while in vi) and when that gets fixed I plan
to register. 

By-the-way, what does $50A translate to in $US?

   I recently discovered that you have to set text string filters off

I used PageStream to write a rather long work (about 350 pages), so I'm
rather familiar with the program.

My advice:
PageStream is great (even it has some bugs you only notice with large
documents) but NOT on an A500!! It will be much to slow and in MedRes it
is hard to write documents (I used PS on my old A1000 (which is more or
less the same as an A500) too: It's just to slow there.)
I recomend at least an A1200 (better A4000) to run the program. (I'm
working on an A3000.)

For your needs I think the program "Final Copy II" would do. It's easier
to write documents there (no 'boxes' and other strange things..), you can
have graphic elements and the output is as good as pagestreams.
Most important: You can run it on your A500!

Greetings

Hi,

I'd just like to know which has better print quality -- Prowrite 3.3 or
Final Copy II?  MS-Word prints out beautiful documents on inkjet or 24 pin
printers, but Excellence! (which I'm using now) looks very very sad by
comparison.  I really think a $1500 Amiga should be able to produce print
quality as good as Windows, right?

     I've been through the Final Copy II manual several times, and I

that they're set via master pages -- but no instructions (that I can

this done?

	To get the arrow keys back, go into the Terminal option in the menu
	(I think that is the one...might be called emulation...I'm not 
	using it right now) and select the option called "use VT100
	cursor keys" or something like that...

	I am using a superkickstart 3000 with only 2 megs of RAM, and
	am having a few problems with X-Comm that I think are just due
	to a lack of memory...hopefully it will be better as soon as I
	get another 4 megs in here!

	But it DOES look promising!

I have written a real printer spooler which is in its beta-testing
stage.  This spooler uses either RAM or a disk file or both to buffer
data.  RAM and disk usage can be set by the user.  Any number of jobs
can be queued, but in this version the jobs can't be deleted individually
(all buffered jobs can be deleted, however).

Spooler works with PRT:, printer.device, SER: or PAR: (depending on
which type of a printer is being used).  I have been testing Spool
with DPaint, Final Copy, ADPro, PRT: etc.  Spooler is a commodity
and works on 2.04 or higher.  Printing jobs can be temporarily delayed
or redirected to user-specified files (like CMD but easier to use).
Buffer allocation is intelligent, ie. the disk file is treated like
random access memory and the file can be re-used any number of times
during printing.

Default configuration can be saved in a file, in icon's tooltypes, or
supplied on CLI command line.

For more information, please e-mail..

You'll need the 2.04 ROM, but in addition to maintain compatibility with 
1.3 you'll need to keep that ROM as well.  There are a couple of 
products on the market that allow the installation of both ROM chips.

One product, MultiStart II, has slots for three ROM chips, I believe,
with a keyboard sequence to indicate which is used.  It currently sells
for about $40.  The 2.1 upgrade runs $85 mailorder.

Date: Tue,  5 Jan 93 17:54:43 PST
Organization: The Portal System (TM)

   New and improved versions of the Amiga voice recognition programs,
VCLI (V 5.2) and AniMan (V 4.1) are now available at the following
FTP sites as AniMan41.lha and vcli52.lha.

      wuarchive.wustl.edu - systems/amiga/incoming/audio
      amiga.physik.unizh.ch - amiga/util/misc

These updates fix all known bugs and incorporate many new features for
improved performance and operability.  Below are the readme files for
these programs.
                                             Regards, Richard Horne

**************************************************************************

Short:  Voice Recognition (Version 5.2)
Type:  util/misc

   This is version 5.2 of Voice Command Line Interface (VCLI) which will
execute CLI commands, ARexx commands, or ARexx scripts by voice command.
VCLI allows you to launch multiple applications or control any program with
an ARexx capability entirely by spoken voice command.  VCLI is fully
multitasking and will run in the background, continuously listening for
your voice command.  Improvements over earlier versions include the 
capability to load alternate vocabulary files by spoken voice command, a
choice of Amiga hardware timers to reduce interference with other programs,
and immunity of the display to changes in system fonts.  The bug in VCLI51
that affected loading of vocabulary files by voice command has been
quashed.  VCLI requires either the Perfect Sound 3, Sound Master (Sound
Magic) or a Generic audio digitizer.  AmigaDOS 2.0 is required.

**************************************************************************

Short:  AniMan version 4.1.  Speak to the talking head.
Type:  util/misc

   This is version 4.1 of AniMan which allows you to converse with an
animated talking head through your audio digitizer in order to execute
CLI commands, ARexx commands, or ARexx scripts by voice command.  AniMan
is completely multitasking and will run in the background, continuously
listening for your voice command.  With AniMan you can launch multiple
applications or control any program with an ARexx capability by conversation
with an animated talking head.  Improvements over earler versions include
background multitasking operation, the capability to load alternate command
files by spoken voice command, a choice of Amiga hardware timers to reduce
interference with other programs, and support for three audio digitizers;
Perfect Sound 3, Sound Master (Sound Magic), and Generic digitizers.
AniMan is compatible with NTSC and PAL.  AmigaDOS 2.0 is required.

Why use a computer for anything?

There are pens and paper, typewriters, playing cards, board games, paint,
dictionaries, pianos, cameras, etc, etc, etc.  All of these tools existed
before the computer did, and most of them still continue to sell. 

People use it because they *WANT* to.  I could say "Why play computer games? I 
use my imagination!"  Or "Why use a calculator?  I do it in my head (or with 
pen and paper)."  Or "Why use a word processing package?  Learn to type, spell 
and draw.  It's more personally rewarding."  ;-)

The truth be told: I have no imagination, cannot spell to save my life, and 
don't want any personally rewarding enriching experiences.  ;-)  So I use a 
computer for *LOTS* of things.

I have constructed some easy objects in DPaint, but DPaint doesn't seem to
fill the entire page, leaving little vertical room for long charts.

I'm hoping one of you can point me to some PD/Shareware or Commercial

Thanks, but it doesn't help since I don't want the 'linefeed' in there. :)
If it didn't mess up the line numbers and count as a new line, I might muddle

C-net Amiga soon will make the entering of MCI codes trigger with control-As
