	I also use AppDisk and find it more reliable (less strange behavior)
than with RamDisk.  I do seem to have one problem with it (v1.3) that I can't
seem to resolve, though.  Every time I run AppDisk, I can not shutdown the
computer correctly.  I think the error I get is -41 CANNOT FIND THE FINDER or
something to that effect.  The computer still lets me restart and then I can
shutdown normally (as long as I don't run AppDisk again).  I am running the
program on a macIIsi with System 7.01 and Tune-Up v1.1.1.  The problem occurs
even when all extensions are off and even before any of the Tune-Ups were
released.  By the way, I also have 9Mb.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Subject: THANKS & Superdrive Question
Date: 6 Apr 92 21:39:11 GMT


The following is posted through a gateway to comp.sys.mac.apps,
comp.sys.mac.system, and comp.sys.mac.misc.  Since I can't do a
"normal" crosspost, this serves as warning: if you see an article
with the same subject/name and author as the one you are now 
reading, it is an identical post; you need not read it twice.

I received approximately 40 responses to my previous posting
entitled Mac to DOS-NEED HELP (or something like that).  That's
a tremendous response.  Thanks!

Virtually all folks said "Buy an FDHD drive."  Some added,
"and get PCAccess".  

One person suggested that I could do what I wanted (save
MSW 5 files as WordPerfect 5.1 DOS files) with my existing
equipment by formatting 800K diskettes as 720K DOS diskettes.
Not enough detail on this was given, but mail to that 
individual was returned by the demonic Daemon.

NEW QUESTION:

The Apple Upgrade to my Mac II would cost $400 through the
university.  An ad in MacUser (MacWarehouse ad) lists an 
"AE Superdrive" for only $219.  Can anyone tell me if the AE
drive would suffice?  I really don't have much money.  I also
want to know if I could save all the files either straight to
the DOS diskette, or maybe in a folder so that later I could 
transfer them all at once to the DOS floppy.  Finally, I think
I might have neglected to mention that I need to also provide
hardcopy.  Does anyone know a way to send all those files to
a Laserwriter Plus?  Do I have to first make them MS Word files
and send them one at a time? Or could I somehow "batch print"
them? even after they are saved in WP 5.1 DOS format?

Normally I save all reports in ONE MSW 5.0 document, and just
send that one document to print, then go have coffee.  I'm 
worried that if I have to type one report (some are shorter 
than a page, some are possibly 4-5 pages), then print, then
save as DOS WP 5.1, then transfer, etc., that I will lose so
much time that it isn't worth it.  Any ideas/experiences 
concerning this worry?  

Thanks again,

I have a customer who wrote her dissertation on a Leading Edge DOS box
using the "Leading Edge" software provided by the manufacturer. But
this software can not do the formatting necessary for a University of
Chicago dissertation and we need to get the files translated to Word 5
on a Mac.

Does any one know where I can obtain a translator for these files. If
necessary, I can use DOS software to translate to a more mainstream
format before I finish bringing them into Word 5, if such a beast
exits and there is no Mac solution.

True, but at least according to MacWEEK, this utility won't be free, so
unless it costs quite a bit less than AccessPC or does something that
AccessPC can't do, AccessPC is the better buy, IMHO.

I don't know about AccessPC, but one annoying feature of DOS Mounter is 
that it puts hidden files on your DOS diskette ("desktop" and 
"daynarid.sys"), which I assume it's using to make your DOS disk look 
Maclike.  I consider this reprehensible.

I just got a copy of Nisus 3.06-040 through Paragon's Microsoft Word

files using XTND filters, and when I hold the option key down, the
Open command does indeed change to XTND Open, but every time I try
to open or save a file using XTND, I get the following error mess:

"While opening/writing with XTND, there was an error: -120"

I have no problem using XTND from any of my Claris applications.
I've installed the XTND support files according to Claris' manuals.
I've RTFM, I've searched through the readme files, I've looked at
the index, I've searched the text in the help screens, and I find
absolutely no reference to XTND anywhere.  What gives?  A lack of
XTND limits Nisus' usefulness to me.

I only have MDS so I will only respond regarding what I know about

MDS does not change the file's type

Not sure if MDS does or doesn't

Pretty sure that MDS does not delete original before compressed version

No, MDS does not

MDS has an option to "make apps transportable" - basically an application
can be transferred to another machine without MDS and still remain
compressed, yet usable. You can generate SEA for documents but I'm
not sure if the "transportable apps" option (which is transparent)
works for documents.

 If Microsoft wants to write *good* software for the Macintosh they need to
reread the part in Inside Macintosh about how to make an interface. If
Microsoft didn't do everything their way, maybe, just maybe they wouldn't get
bashed.

The true reason though that Microsoft gets bashed is that their is nothing
better out their. They want Microsoft Word not to bomb on their new computer,
they want it word. What we need is some other software companies to knock
Microsoft off its cloud. I think with programs like 1-2-3, Nisus, and a few
others they may start to happen.

Yes, there is a beast!  First, though, you may not have any trouble using word
5 with the current set of patches.  I haven't had any.  I did, however,
download it just to be safe.  I got mine from GEnie, but it's also available on
CompuServe and perhaps some other user group boards.

Good Luck!

At least for educational use, Microsoft has "multi-packs" available.  They
supply 1 manual set, 1 copy of the media, and n (in my case, ten) "rights-

cheaper to over-license than to buy sixteen copies).

There is a program called TimeBook (by ProAct Software, right here in Palo
Alto) that looks like it does the trick very well.  It is designed after
those portable Day Planners and Filofaxes that you see many yuppies carry
around, so it's probably suited more for appointments than anything else.
It looks like it would do quite well on a PowerBook, too.

Call them at 415-853-TIME for more info.
