Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 19:25:54 GMT

I am looking for an electronic circuit design package for the macintosh
platform. I am interested in designing both analog and digital circuits. I
would like to get any information about what packages are out there, to
purchase or shareware, that would do either one or both of these simulation
tasks. 

Some one here mentioned LogicWorks for digital, has anyone used this? Any
good?  There is always SPICE to do the analog simulation but are there any
others? With schematic capture? Anything that will handle both digital and
analog components in the same design?

All information or comments are welcome. I will summerise and repost for
all those that are interested.

Ah, I see.  Opcode is apparently a company begging to have its user
protection scheme cracked.  Good luck.

BTW, there -is- no such thing as "good" disk-based copy protection. Just
FYI.

I experimented with Stuffit Expander 3.0's 'Watch folder' option, and
it seems like it will only watch a folder if the program is on the
same volume as the watch folder. Otherwise it does nothing.  
Also, after I discovered this, I found that I would get a bomb box
when Stuffit Expander tried to delete the original archive. Could this
be a conflict with Norton FileSaver, say?

I need to know what to do so that a given cell in an Excel worksheet

For example if the date is December 14 I want the value of the cell

Is there a way to do this?

   Inquiring minds want to know.

Well, MacUser wrote up a review of word processors that showed a preview of
MacWrite Pro in September 1992.  That sidebar showed the following features:
 - Post-It style notes that can be attached anywhere within a document
 - Tables
 - Character-based style sheets with a floating style palette
 - A floating Tools palette
 - A floating tools palette
 - Graphics frames
 - Section dividers
 - Publish & Subscribe

There is also support for Add-It modules, to allow companies that make
auxiliary programs to word processors directly available from with in
MacWrite Pro (a la Word, Quark, etc).  An example of these Add-Its could be
a grammar checker (yech), math typesetting program, or footnote package like
EndNote.

On top of that, because of the section dividers, one new feature is being
able to have multiple columns per section, rather than per document.

Umm.  Let's see.  Oh yeah, if I remember correctly (please don't hold me to
it, though), you can now also have as many documents open as memory permits.

And the interface still only takes about 12 seconds to figure out, unlike
some other more popular, feature-overloaded word processors.

Anyway, that's what the MacUser sidebar showed, plus the things I've seen so
far in the beta.  There's probably more, and of course, there's always the
possibility that if any of these features contains bugs that can't be
repaired, the features might vanish from the release version.  In other
words, I can't guarantee you anything, but this is what appears to be new.

You might take a look at CalendarMaker - it would only make the
8.5"x11" landscape calendar. Another program which might be better for
your needs is Calendar Creator - I haven't used this but, from what I've
seen and heard, it allows you to print a traditional calendar plus many
other forms such as daily and weekly formats.

Calendar Maker is by CE Software and Calendar Creator is by Power Up. Both
are available through Educational Resources. Call them at 800-624-2926 for 
info/catalog.

Hope this is helpful,

Not true.  Font downloaders and PS Send utilities (like the LaserWriter
Utility program) require two-way communications with the printer, where
printing does not (strictly).  Under Novell you are printing to a print
QUEUE, not a printer, so there isn't a two-way communications link.  That's
why your utility doesn't work.

Take a look at the back of the printer you're trying to print to.  Is it
connected with the AppleTalk connector?  If so, you should be able to find
the printer in two ways in the Chooser, both it's Novell queue name (that
you're using now) and it's real AppleTalk name.  Choose the real AppleTalk
name and you're in business.  If you don't know it, just turn it off and
back on and it'll print up a startup sheet with the name on it.

I saw something like that (actually a style checker) on microsoft word 5.?
I'm not sure which version, but I think 5.0 on up has this thing.  I tried

neat.  It also looks for things like the the problem of typing in the same
