Here's my idea:

Write an AD module which does nothing to the screen, but patches
_Postevent to filter keypresses. Upon seeing the key you've picked, it
loads and executes the FKEY 3 code. Then, use Multimodule in After
Dark to combine the picture-taking module with the one you want to
take pictures of. Now when you run the combined module, you can click
away. 

Anybody care to write this? Shouldn't take more than an hour or so.

So were mine, but it has some problems:
a) poor quality printing (smooth curves become polygons when you print)
b) poor text handling

   this would have been better left out)

I've both of them, ClarisWorks use a subset (85%) of MacWriteII text
editing commands. On the other hand, ClarisWorks give direct access to
spreadsheet and drawing features but with again only subsets of real
spreadsheet and drawing applications. If you are happy with an integrated
package, not using advanced commands, get only ClarisWorks.

The real problem with Upgrades and CLARIS is not the cost of them or the
compatibility between ClarisWorks and MacWriteII. It is the time those
Upgrade are taking to be on the market...We are looking for MacWrite_Pro

This is certainly an interesting view of what people consider a
"major problem."  I hate to sound coarse, but I'm sorry, the world
doesn't rotate around MacOberon.  As for SpeedyFinder7, it's a nicely
done cdev, but again, not a "major problem."  As for beta-testing,
it's never going to get 100% of the problems, but hopefully catch most

Not to detract from Quickeys (something I would certainly be using
if CE Software had shown *any* consideration for their beta testers
(at least those of us who had reported bugs)), but there is another
excellent product that will do what you want: Easy Alarms 2 from Essential
Software.

Not only is it a wonderful reminders package (which can even be used to
send reminders across a network), but it can be used to do things
like send AppleEvents (like the "launch application" event) to specified
programs (like the Finder) at specific times. This should allow you
to do exactly what you need. I just checked one of the major mail-order
houses and found that Easy Alarms 2 is available for $61 (they have
QK2 for $93) plus $3 for shipping. Order before 3am in most locations
(then duck)! Double-check my facts before ordering.

BTW: I have no affiliation with CE Software and no affiliation with
Essential Software except as a very satisfied user of their product.

When I was using a DeskWriter, I found that the paper of choice was the very
best laser-quality bond I could buy. The difference was incredible. It has a
slightly slick finish that discourages the ink from blotting as it seems to
do on papers with a raggier finish.

At this point, laser-quality bond can be found in most well stocked
stationary shops. Failing this, ask your local print shop to order you some.

called Conflict Catcher & Other Innovative Utilities.  It offers not
only the standard init management functions (enable/disable/reorder/

It has the ability to isolate a problem you might be having that is
being caused by an init or multiple inits.  It recognizes all of the
startup files that contain startup code, including tuneup and
Macsbug.  Through a series of restarts, it can nail a problem you
are having to an init.

If you want more information, send me a message with your questions,
or call Casady & Greene directly.

The other utilities are Memory Maxer, Color Coordinator, HotDA, and

Dear Netters:

Newsletter Articles Wanted! Yes, That means you!

BMUG, formerly the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group and now just
BMUG, is requesting everyone to submit articles for our upcoming
Spring '92 Newsletter. They can be on anything that might be
of interest to a computer user.

The last issue had sections on hardware, software, System 7,
Desktop Productions (dtp+), programming, telecomm, PowerBooks,
computers in society, and commentary. How can there be so much? The
"newsletter" is around 450+ pages!

The articles don't have to be clones of the monthly rags that we
see on the news stands. We want real users, real solutions, and
real life stories!

If your article is accepted, you receive a six month membership in
BMUG, which includes the Newsletter, BMUG Memo (a small publication
that comes out every now and then), access to our BBS (16-lines),
notice of any special offers that developers make to our members, 
and use of our telephone HelpLine. I know this doesn't sound like
much to people that are connected through the InterNet, but you'd
also get thousands of people that don't see your signature everyday
oohing and aahing over your words. 

The deadline for submission is soon, October 31, 1992. The
Newsletter will be sent to our members in late January.

If this sounds like a good idea, please send your articles to

I have a table covering a full page, where one cell in each row has a lot
of content, while the other cells have very little. As you all know and
appreciate, Word then takes care of adjusting cell size so that all rows
are even. I added to the header of this document the PostScript commands
for underlying diagonal text that come with Word 5.0:

% Word Under Text
/Times-BoldItalic findfont 
/FontSize 72 def
/TextToPrint (CONFIDENTIAL) def
FontSize scalefont setfont
/printDraft
{0 0 moveto TextToPrint show} def
wp$x 2 div wp$y 2 div translate
45 rotate
TextToPrint stringwidth pop 2 div neg 
FontSize 2 mul 3 div 2 div neg 
translate
.95 -.05 .6
{setgray printDraft -1 .5 translate} for
.9 setgray printDraft

In the printout, the word "CONFIDENTIAL" was only visible where the cells
contained some print. Apparently, Word adds some opaque stuff to cells when
adjusting their size to the largest cell in a row. I use Word 5.0a and
