I am looking for information and comparisons on several To Do list programs
and Calendar programs. For To Do lists, I am interested in multiple
categories, priorities, with or without deadlines, overlapping times. For
Calendars, I am interested in daily, weekly, monthly and yearly calendars
with display of my To Do list items that have times associated with them.
To Do list manipulation is more important for me than calendar event
manipulation. For all these, I want to be able to print to planner size (I
used to use a Franklin). Sharing this information remotely or with others
is not very important to me. The programs I am aware of:
 
First Things First: To Do lists, No Calendars, print for planner

Now Up-To-Date: Calendars and events, no To Do lists, print for planner

Easy Alarms: To Do lists, Calendars (?)

DateBook: Calendars, events, To Do lists (?), print for planner

DayMaker: Calendars, events, to-do lists, print for planner

In Control: To Do lists

Calendar Creator: Calendars, print for planner, a DOS port (the interface I
used  under DOS wasn't very nice.) Can the calendars be interchanged
between the Mac and DOS? (We use it for calendaring at Church).

Please email me information about the above ar any others of merit.

Our school only has a color scanner connected to a PC, but I need to scan
some pictures for my Mac.

Where can I find the AFE filter that converts a PC binary file to a format
that a Mac can read (eg MacBinary)? I've tried sumex and ftp.apple.com but 
I can't find anything.

If I want to use DiskFit to back up my HD, do I have to first expand
the files that are compressed by AutoDoubler?

Yesterday I allocated an extensive amount of time to
downloading the demo for First Things First from SUMEX.
My modem is only 1200 baud.

I decoded the binhex, then noticed that the resulting
file has a DD suffix. I tried to double-click the file,
but it appears not to be self-extracting. I then tried
to translate it using the DD translator in Stuffit Deluxe,
with the result of a message that I needed the DD INIT, which
is not provided with the Stuffit Deluxe package.

Any suggestions, other than to buy DD to try out another
application's demo? I hope that there is a trouble-free
and fast solution.

Thx,
Steve

Version 5.0.4 of THINK C is now out.  If you have any earlier version of
THINK C 5, get the updater by ftp from any of the usual sites (such as
sumex-aim.stanford.edu).  In version 5.0.4, the bug in the optimizer has
been fixed.

I know someone asked a similar question recently, but mine is slightly
different:

I seem to recall seeing a Claris translator to convert from Appleworks
to MacWrite II. I checked the MacWrite installation disks and they
don't come with one of these, so I don't know where this is
available. Anyone know?

Barring that, does anyone have any other conversion programs
from Appleworks to Mac stuff (pagemaker or AFE would be ok too).

I checked archie and mac.arcive.umich and didn't see anything.

Thanks much.

The offer is $7.50. Look through the system 7.1 ReadMe file, there is a

Hello.

This little story may serve as a warning to people contemplating purchasing
Music Publisher.

I have practically given up using Music Publisher 2.5.3 from Repertoire
(a company located in Australia). This program eats its own preferences
file!

I've called their support number in California, and it was disconnected.

A fine soul on the net gave me Repertoire's address and the name of their
marketing director. I have written him three times, but he only replied
to my first letter.

He he admitted that Music Publisher 2.5.3 is buggy, and advised me to revert
to an earlier version. This is impossible, since I only received one version
(2.5.3). He went on further on how his company is small (so I guess I should
give him a break). He also included a copy of a letter of praise he received
about Music Publisher from another US user. These things, however, have not
kept Music Publisher from eating its preferences file.

I subsequently sent him two more letters. I have received no reply from either.

Does anyone out there know what the current version of Music Publisher is?
Is Repertoire still in business?

I feel abandoned by Mr. Beinvenue and Repertoire. This product was reviewed in
MacUser (September 91?) and given a favourable rating.

I spent $244 on this and have basically received shit for support.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

I've noticed this is often due to 'auxiliary' files that the application 
needs. While DD includes an option in its Prefs to expand related files, 
this will fail if the auxiliary files are in a different folder than the 
opening application.

There are some other quirks, which have caused 
compressed files to not expand and open. The weirdest was a set of files 
that would show up in the SFGet dialog and would show as expanding once 
selected. However, after expanded, I was left with the SFGet dialog again 
and had to re-select and open the expanded files. As I said, pretty odd.

I don't know if I can help you much here, as I've since added AutoDoubler,
which causes any such problem to disappear.

Give a call to Fifth Generation/Salient; I'm sure their tech support will 
be able to puzzle this one out.

Good luck,

Some of the betas for Premiere (or maybe all of them) had this form of

Yep, just use MyPageSetup.  A PD program that allows you to change the
defaults on the currently selected printer.  Since it modifies the
resource fork it's totally fail-safe and survives printer changes, even
copying of the printer drivers from one MAC to another.  I don't know
where I picked it up... good luck findind it.

Does anybody have experience with this software and know if it is better

I am mostly interested in scheduling features and alarms features (hence
the comparison to the two products listed above).

I am a personal information manager (PIM) software junkie, so if Now

Easy Alarms to Now (although I think Easy Alarms is a fabulous product).
