Jim, you are in for a great surprize!
AppleWorks can do almost anything you want.  The TimeOut series by Beagle
Brothers makes it even more spectacular!  (The best is UltraMacros but
there are many for specific purposes that a well worth the money)
Now for a brief summary:
You can write whatever you want in the word processor with very easy
commands to make it meet whatever printing standards you may need.
You can use the extensize data base with 20 reports that will sort, select
and mail merge all data with your word processor documents.
You can do most any financial functions in the spreadsheet that you might
need from amort. schedules, keeping grades, or very specialized algebretic
formulas with the various commands.
The best part is that all three applications are totally interchangable
with one another.
They compliment each other with simple keystrokes that use the open apple
key and the various letters.. a=arrange b=blank c=copy...etc.  Each
application has some letters are are unique to that one, but most are the
same command everywhere.

Truely, if you add UltraMacros, you can post checks with double
entrybooking with pop up menus and direct deposits/withdrawals... with 1-3
keystrokes!

It never gets boring, because there is always new stuff to do with the UM's
and the AW 3.0 (the newest version) is a great as it comes on the apple II.
Publish It imports directly... but TimeOut Superfonts lets you print your
AW files in 100's of fonts and inport pictures as well!
You can print a spreadsheet sideways, design forms to fit your own needs,
print envelopes directly from the wp and have a utilities program all in
one.  The original 3.0 needs to be patched... You need to see a local user
group to get this patch.. or someone you know who has a copy of the patch.
YES, IT WILL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED...AT A FRACTION OF THE
COST OF ANY COMPERABLE SOFTWARE ON ANY OTHER COMPUTER.

If you want more, leave me E-Mail via @pro-line.
Is this what you wanted?  I didn't see any other comment...so hope it is
redundant!  :-)
(Yes, I love it)

My Archive tape backup is only 250M.  If I have a partition greater than
that, will the RamFast backup be able to split it onto multiple tapes?

ComputerEyesGS doesn't 'have' a card, it -is- a card... it also -digitizes-
an NTSC signal.  It doesn't route it to the monitor.  It also takes six seconds
for one frame to be digitized.  I think what he's refering to is something like
the Apple II Video Overlay card which 'routes' an NTSC video signal directly
to the GS's monitor.  There's no digitization in the process.

There is this real neat init called FunKeys out there... it lets you do
screen dumps to printer and disk, you can eject disks, blank the screen,
shutdown, or just pause the processor, just by holing down control, option,
and another key.  However, under System 6 in the finder, right when you
hold down option and control, the system locks up BAD.  YOu have to turn
the computer off, then on again.  Just thought I'd warn you guys.

    GS/ShrinkIt 1.0.5 has a similiar problem shrinking Macintosh forked
files off an HFS volume.  It seems to be including the GS/OS option list
in the header which causes all current NuFX utilities (including GSHK
itself) to either give strange results or crash.  Andy Nicholas knows
about this and it should be fixed for GSHK 1.0.6.  For now, copy forked
Mac files over to a ProDOS volume first before shrinking them.

Well, at least one person listened. My Sider C96 drive (87 MB Wren III, with a
built-in TEAC tape drive) has three hard partitions of 32 MB, 32 MB, and 23
MB. And before the release of ProDOS 8 v2.0.1, access to that third partition
was accomplished via DX.System, a memory patcher which was loaded as the first
*.System file in my root directory. Nice patch, but I don't need it anymore.

I hope that isn't the case.  DOS 3.3 text files have their high bit set,
while ProDOS text files have the high bit clear.

That's a neat trick.  You just overwrote BASIC.SYSTEM and the ProDOS
MLI global page.  I'd like to know how you managed to test this procedure.

No, it only overwrites the ProDOS global page.  Basic.System will certainly
die a horrible death, however.  I suppose that if you got lucky, ProDOS
would read the file in, and then return to a friendly location in the middle
of DOS 3.3 on the $bf00 page.

However, you'd have to clear out the ProDOS in-use map before doing any of
this (especially if the program started earlier than $800), and I doubt you
can overwrite $bf00 with MLI calls.

It won't.

HELP!!!!
 
I am having quite a bit of problem with binscii files.  I do have access
to FTP's and I downloaded some files from few different sites.
 
I used FTP, set the file type to Binary, and got the files into my site.
 
Then, I used Kermit, set the file type to binary, and receive the files
using my modem.
 
But, all the files that are Binscii'ed come out all wrong.
 
They should come out like this:
 
FiLeStArTfIlEsTaRt
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789()
GBINSCII        AQhmAAAAA8)4MIAI02DA9ARMQEDtAQhmAIVZ

CFUOFR0QxAjR0MjM3YTNBlDOENkQwAQRzITM2UDN5gzNDJUQGVERyEDM1QzM4cjN
 
but instead, they actually come out like this:
 
FiLeStArTfIlEsTaRtABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz01234
56789()
GBINSCII
AQhmAAAAA8)4MIAI02DA9ARMQEDtAQhmAIVZgYITA6u7xADA0MjM3YTNBlDOENkQwYURzITM2UD
N5gzNDJUQGVERyEDM1QzM4cjN
CFUOFR0QxAjR0MjM3YTNBlDOENkQwAQRzITM2UDN5gzNDJUQGVERyEDM1QzM4cjN
 
And obviously, my Binscii and Gscii+ chokes...
 
I'm quite sure other people have run into this problem already...why is it
like that?
 
How do I fix it?  I don't want to go through all the files and put return
in every line making every line 64 characters long.  That's crazy.
 
HELP!
 
If possible, please send reply to hlee@calstatela.edu
 
if not, just email back to this message.  Any help would be greatly

How much memory do you have? Gif3200 crashes, but usually you can get one 
good conversion out of it before having to reboot. SHRview 3.5 is great, it 
never crashes for me. If you're working with very little memory it might be 
a different story, though. Particularly with big, colorful GIFs. Are you 
booting into GSOS before running SHRview? That won't help if memory is the 
problem...

There are two versions of GIF...most files are the 87a type, but some are 
89a. I'm fairly sure that SHRview can handle both...not so sure about 
GIF3200. You don't see a lot of 89a files, usually. I think the only reason 
to use that GIF type is for 24-bit images, which generally are too much to 
represent on the GS very well anyway (certainly in 16-grayscale, SHRview - 
they might look ok in 3200 colors, GIF3200).
