I am not familiar with the specific type of diagrams you are seeking, but we do
have a generic diagramming and templating product called RoboChart. This will allow
diagrams at multiple levels, with various objects and labels.

Please contact Qualix Group, at info@qualix.com or 800-245-UNIX

                   COMPUTRON FINANCIAL SOFTWARE

                                                 August 3, 1992


If while evaluating financial software you're looking at J.D. Edwards,
Software 2000, Ross, Coda, Dun & Bradsweet, Lawson or Oracle, ask us
about features they haven't discovered yet.  For example, our N-dimensions
financial software includes imaging and office automation integration
as standard features.

COMPUTERWORLD recently examined the expectations of users of mid-range
based accounting software -- and, in essence, established new criteria for
the evaluation of financial applications for the 90s.  ONLY COMPUTRON MEETS
THEIR CRITERIA.

May I send the brochure "New Trends in Financial Software" to the appropriate
person in your company?  It shows how users can have instant access to every
piece of financial information in your company, no matter what part of the
world it's in.  And when user requirements change, N-dimensions has
incredibily powerful on-line user tailoring capabilities.  Non-technical
people can customize the software without changing a line of code.  They can
even reorganize their Chart of Accounts, automatically, on-line.

If you indicate where to send it and return this letter, I will have the
brochure mailed out promptly.  (FAX to 201-935-7678 or call 800-828-7660,
if you rather.)

Among our clients are W.R. Grace, Mobil Oil, Archdiocese of Boston,
Telecom Australia, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Frank B. Hall, Merrill Lynch,
Lotus Development, Natwest, Port of Seattle, Deutsche Bank and
Arthur Andersen.

Please return the letter so we may send the brochure.

Thank you.

                                                 Sincerely,


                                                 Don Goodman

to the best of my understanding, the answer is none.

you can sell your T2500 and apply the funds to another modem

uucp traffic with 16 bit compressed news -- if so, what are your

Subject: Incoming MNP connections with a WorldBlazer
Organization: TQM Communications, London, UK
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 1992 23:26:24 GMT

Does anyone else have problems getting a WorldBlazer to answer a call
and set up an MNP4/5 connection?

Dialling in to the WB using two different MNP only modems with MNP 5 set
they are unable to set up an MNP connection and revert back to an
unreliable link. Both work perfectly fine calling various services with
MNP modems. Setting S180=3 on the WB to enable only MNP and not V.42 a
reliable connection can be established, but takes much longer for the
handshaking than calling other modems. Calling out with the WB gives no
problems at all.

here is what we use -- and our lots show lots of turboPEP

are DTE is 38400 -- as someone has pointed out - bumping
the DTE to 115200 makes a slight difference --

The model number is N9631 (made by NEC)
it is 9600 baud, (19,200bps with data compression)
Supports Synchronous and Asyncronous communication.
v.32, v.22, v.22bis

Subject: Dealer sought for copiers, toner, paper
Summary: copiers and office supplies -- best dealer?
Keywords: copiers, toner, paper, disks
Date: 21 Aug 92 04:38:28 GMT
Organization: HAC - Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore


        I am looking for the "best" copier in the $500-$700 range. My criteria
are, in order of importance:

1. The ability to enlarge and reduce (at least one scale either way)
2. Quality of copies, of course (i.e. resolution, ability to increase darkness
without blurring, ability to "flatten out" pages from thick books)
3. Portability: (a) low volume -- esp. height; (b) low mass
4. Other features: (a) adaptability of power requirements; (b) letter/legal;
(c) speed; (d) toner efficiency / price

        If someone can suggest the lowest priced or best value dealer, please
post or mail me. Brand names are inconsequential, but I'd really prefer a
particular dealer. I'm only planning to purchase one (possibly two), so I'm
also in the market for a used copier with a high toner efficiency.

        On a related note, I am looking for the supplier with the lowest
prices for the following office media. I have indicated the quantity that
I normally purchase, which is typically single-unit (i.e. no bulk discounts),
and I'm taking that into account. That is, big coprporate bulk dealers don't
do me any good.

1. 18-20 lb. nonperforated white laser printer paper, ~5 reams
2. HP IIP toner catridges, 2-5
3. Copier machine toner (see above), 2-5
4. SyQuest removable disks, 88 meg, 2-3

        I'm also looking for a good 5.25" disk distributor (there's a GOOD
reason why I'm still using those things even though I already have 1.44
drives), particularly for DS/HDs (1.2 MB). In my experience, MEI has been
the best for 1.2's (<
