I haven't tried WillMaker, but I bet it is good. I bought For The Record
(since renamed ) from Nolo, and it was excellent!

Onc caveat, I became a trustee of a small trust, and now I have to file a
tax return for it every year. MacInTax does not have the forms to do
trusts, and the instructions from the IRS give the dismaying information
that doing just one part of the tax return (the AMT calculations) will
take +/- 13 hours. This same kind of return is filed by giant trusts, so
it covers EVERYTHING. So be careful of creating trusts.

After seeing so many of you rave about ZTerm, I decided to give it a try,
having reached the conclusion that both QuickLink II and MacKermit "do not meet
my needs" (read: suck cheese.) I'm very excited about ZTerm and the copy I
ftp'd from sumex looks fine, and yet:

ZTerm does not accept 8-bit characters for me.

The only command I see that has to do with 8-bit characters (and yes, I 
_did_ read the manual) is the option under, I believe, terminal settings where
you can choose NOT to accept "high-bit" characters (I assume this means
8-bit).Therefore I assume accepting 8-bit characters is a default. Therefore I
can't understand why it doesn't do it.(That is one thing MacKermit will do, and
it is vital to me.)

A recent MacWeek (I don't have the date) suggests a hack to ATM 2.0.3 that
I have used successfully:

Open the "~ATM 68020/030" (or "ATM 68000") file with ResEdit and replace
the string "extn" with "font" in DCOD resource -15005. 

This makes ATM look in the Fonts folder for fonts under System 7.1.

BTW, I consider this a temporary hack while I wait for my copy of ATM 3.0
to arrive.

For you lawyers out there.

I just purchased a copy of Berkley Systems' "Star Trek:
The Screen Saver."  I also own a copy of the original
After Dark.  Anyway, STTSS comes with an
After Dark Control Panel, and I replaced my old AD 
Control Panel with it.

In doing so, I realized I now own TWO legitimate copies
of the After Dark Control Panel.  What I would like to do
is give my original AD Control Panel to a friend to use
(as I won't be using it any longer).

If I give him JUST my original AD Control Panel (none
of the AD/MAD modules, since I'll keep using them),
will I violate my license?

The licenses are slightly different between AD and
STTSS, so if you have an answer, please try to base
it on the original AD package license.

Thanks

You cannot update Stuffit Deluxe 2.0 to 3.0.3  You must send Aladdin some
$$$ to get the 3.0 Upgrade.  The Updater is a special archive that only
works if you have a legal copy of Stuffit Deluxe 3.0

Stuffit Deluxe 3.0 is well worth the upgrade $$$!

I am in the need of an audio digitizer to work with the VideoSpigot. Is there
anything available relatively cheap to do this? I just checked out one
package the sales guy said was the "cheapest" which cost about $230, from
Macromedia, MacRecorder Pro, or some such thing. It comes with the digitizer
that I'm sure costs all of 30 bucks and some fancy sound editing software
which I have no use for. 

A basic sound digitizer and driver software shouldn't be more than say, 100
bucks.

Many of the teachers at our school use a shareware/freeware? app that you
hookup with set startup (on system 6.0.x) and you keep it on your desktop
and dblclick on it when you are goign to leave you mac. When it boots up
(on startup, or when you dblclick it) it asks for a password to return to
the finder. This would work for -inexperienced- users. But Was able to
break in by holding command-period on startup and thus aborting the
set-startup thing. I dunno if this is sufficient for you. I'll have to go
find the name. Also, it is even easier to crack on system seven (if you
were to switch) because it -is- and application, and thus can be forced to
quit with the "command-option-escape" key combo.

Well, if you're only using bitmap fonts, you could modify a number of the
option-character combinations to provide you with the desired combinations
for diacritical marks.  The font editor in ResEdit will work with bitmap

I am helping a new Macintosh user sort out much of the new user stuff.
She is progressing quite quickly for having only used the Mac for a

she has preconceived desires to use WordPerfect. She has been 
toying around with several word processors and she thinks she is ready 
to purchase one (WP). After going to several bookstores we have discovered
the number of available supplemental books for WordPerfect for Mac are
few and far-between - e.g. a trip to a well-stocked bookstore (near a
University full of Macintoshes) revealed a ratio of WordPerfect for
Windows books to WP for Mac books of 65:1. (!!!) No shit; I couldn't 
believe it either. So... is this a dead product? << WordPerfect employees
are disqualified and may not answer>> The inside back cover of MacWorld
shows WP for Mac to consistently place in the top 15 business packages.

I use INtouch 1.1.9, and it is nothing to write home about. It cannot
dial the # or * on a phone, it will not readily dial a phone number if
you have put text out beside it, and importing text into INtouch requires
that you later go to _each_ card and hit command-/ to move the phone
numbers over to their column.

On the other hand, it doesn't crash with over 1,000 cards...my old Phone
Book DA did.

There is a version 2.0 of INtouch that we paid to upgrade to about a
month ago, but it hasn't shown up yet so I don't know if it has resolved
any of the problems mentioned above.

There is one that was recently posted to mac.archive.umich that translates
RTF to Tex but it doesn't work very well.  That's all I know of.  I wish
Microsoft would build it in.

Is this a typo?  I just bought wp2.1 for the mac... they said it was
the latest version.  I also called the wp 800 number because it seems
to be missing some features of the pc version, esp. the equation editor.
They claimed I had the latest version.  I was disappointed that the
mac version was not as complete as the pc version.  The pc version I
saw demonstrated had nice graphic buttons all around the screen to select
various options.  Mine doesn't seem to do that either.
