    So, I'm finally giving up on keeping up with the Word and Excel
updates; I just can't afford it for the minimal work I do at home.
Both MS and Claris want to upgrade me cheaply from my old 1.0 copy of
MS Works, and I'm in a quandry.  My gut tells me to go with Claris
(great reviews; don't have to send Bill any more money), but I'm always
having to get stuff into MS format (Word/Excel) to give to others, and
I worry about Claris' import/export capabilities relative to that of a
MS application.  I haven't seen any reviews of the new MS Works, so I'm
kind of in the dark about what it's way-cool new features are.
    Anyone got an opinion?  If this has been discussed recently (it's
hard enough keeping up with the X newsgroups), could you email me a
copy of what you saved?  I'll be reading the newsgroup in eager
anticipation of net.wisdom on the subject.  Much thanks in advance.

Word 5.1 does fix the "Cut/Undo" bug, caused by cutting text near a Plug-In
Module marker (such as EndNote Citations or Voice Annotations), and then 
Undoing the cut.  The text would turn into a graphic (you could draw on it, 
but not edit it) and EndNote would report a 20051 error.

As I said, Word 5.1 fixes this. 

Please contact me directly if you have any EndNote questions.  FYI: We are
compatible with System 7.1, despite the Compatibility Checker confusion.

Basically, although I thought I had thoroughly checked all

I have gotten hold of a copy of MacDraw II v 1.1 (dated April 89). Not

Subject: About System 7 and Background Printing
Date: 13 Nov 92 03:15:23 GMT
Organization: State University of New York at Buffalo/Comp Sci


I've got a quick question, if anyone knows about it...

I help maintain a Mac lab for undergraduate Computer Science courses...

And some of the students don't really know their way around a Mac too well..

So, we got AtEase (by Apple) for our Macs (LC II's) and everything is just
hunky-dory...

One problem though...the Macs are connected together via Ethernet network and
share two common LaserWriter IIg printers...

Now, since System 7 is on, and if the user goes to choose a printer, they
sometimes put the background printing ON, which ends up creating problems,
i.e. their terminal locks up occasionally if several other people are
printing... we're not too sure why this happens...

However, we do want the ability to possibly disable the radio button that
turns ON background printing (or grey-out the entire option would do)...

In any case, I tried using ResEdit to find the place where we could
disable that button...and no luck...I checked Finder, LaserWriter (the
extension) and Chooser...

Well, I was wondering if anyone out there might know how to disable the
button, or how to fix the problem that we keep having of crashing the
printer or the computer that locks up...??

Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks...

What does SS, DD, etc do on a directory containing GIF

Do these programs mark such a file as uncompressible?

Hi I'm using Cinemation on a Macintosh IIFX to produce some 'movies' to help

I can't open or save Cinemation documents except for where Cinemation resides.  This

I'm just a bit perplexed.  I installed it on a different IIFX (which I don't have

Whats up, and how do I fix it?

From the README file included with MacX:
Users of remote commands with Sun machines may find that their remote
commands appear to do nothing and there is no output from the Sun
machine.  This is due to a feature of the Sun rexecd network daemon which
quietly disconnects from requesting machines that are not known to the
Sun`s network address (/etc/hosts or NIS

be an entry in the network address database for the Macintosh which is

Yes it is CopyDoubler that GateKeeper is reporting.  We are aware
of the problem and will be talking with the author of GateKeeper.
CopyDoubler is resource compressed with the AutoDoubler Internal

Let me rephrase that. The LICENSE does require that the machine that
AutoDoubler will be installed on is the only machine that AIC'd software

Hi there

I have a problem with my Microsoft Word 5.0a.
If I open *some* documents the application crashes and I am in the debugger.
The error message says: illegal Instruction
I may leave this state by entering ES into MacsBug.

First I thougt it was a problem with stationary documents, but then I realized
that it doesn't matter wheter the document is a stationary or not.

The Documents I can't open contain (at least some of them) the courier and 
bookman font as I remember. I have some paragraphs formated but no pictures are
included.

I had this problems since my systemdisk (Internal HD) broke down because of a
scsi-chain-problem (The word application is on an external HD).
I recovered everything from the broken systemdisk (especialy all my font suit-
cases). So I can't imagine that this problem might be related to the fonts.

I also tried to reinstall the word but nothing changed.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Theorist by Prescience is a very good program for teaching trig and 
algebraic manimpulation.  Take a look at the program before you buy
it to see if it is what you want as it is not a "tutorial" for math
but a program to help you solve math problems.  It does however let
the student see the results of various manipulation instantly and 
works with a graphic interface (you drag the numerator over to the
other side and it put's in the right place, etc.)

Almost every backup program handles incremental backups this way.  The
reason is that if something happens during the backup, the previous
versions are left untouched.

If you prefer to make a complete backup from scratch each time, I hope that
you have two sets of disks, and alternate your backups on them.

If you would rather have a backup program that replaces previous versions,
try Dantz's _DiskFit_, as I have done--even though I do have Norton.

These are my personal opinions, and do not necessarily reflect those of any
other entity, living, dead, or yet to be born.
