=====================
 
 This issue overflows with a review of WriteNow 3.0, the syllabus
   for a free online course, "Navigating the Internet," and an
   alternative view of the Duo. We also crammed in some short
   announcements, including news of Disk First Aid 7.1, which fixes
   the disappearing files and folders bug, a letter about font
   clone piracy, and a warning for CPU users who have a
   just-released PowerBook. Tune in next week for all the great
   stuff that wouldn't fit!

  Mark Johnson, keeper of Apple's anonymous FTP site announced that
  Disk First Aid 7.1, which fixes the disappearing files and folders
  bug, is now available on <ftp.apple.com> in the directory:
  
    /ftp/dts/mac/sys.soft/hdsc/
 
  [We strongly recommend that you run this new version of Disk First
  Aid on  your hard disks. You never know when that disappearing
  files and folders bug might bite you, and even if you have System
  7 Tune-Up 1.1.1 installed, the damage may have been done before
  you installed Tune-Up.]

Font Clone Pirates
  Carter Scholz writes, "I'd like to add something to Mark Nutter's
  review of SoftKey's KeyFonts package in TidBITS#146. Mark writes,
  "...the fonts aren't the genuine fonts from the original designer.
  Rather, each font is a clone of the original." This means, of
  course, that SoftKey is not paying royalties to the designer of
  the font. Although this practice is technically legal in the USA
  (one of the few countries in which type fonts are not protected by
  copyright law), it is ethically bankrupt. A well-designed font can
  take man-years of effort. Hermann Zapf, the designer of Palatino,
  Optima, and many other beautiful fonts, from whom SoftKey has
  stolen their "Palamino," "Optim," and "Chancery" has long
  attempted to educate type users on this point. From the designer's
  viewpoint, a "clone" is even worse than outright theft, because
  the clone is usually a poor copy that corrupts the designer's work
  while depriving him of compensation."

atob/btoa Translator
  Numerous people informed us that StuffIt Deluxe and StuffIt Lite
  3.0 come with a defunker for the atob/btoa format (along with many
  others) that we mentioned last week. I'll have to check my copy of
  StuffIt Deluxe to figure out what my problem is.
 
 
CPU and the new PowerBooks
  Conrad Halling wrote to tell us of problems with Connectix's CPU
  utility and the new PowerBooks. If you have one of those machines
  and CPU, send in your registration card, because Connectix has a
  free upgrade for registered users of those machines. In the
  meantime, Conrad reports that CPU's LCD Saver doesn't work if you
  switch screen depths, and there appears to be a problem with the
  backlight coming back on after it has dimmed.

WriteNow 3.0 Review
-------------------
  by Tonya Engst -- TidBITS Editor
 
  Looking for a useful word processor weighing in at 287K on the
  hard disk and consuming 490K of RAM? Take a hard look at WriteNow
  3.0 from T/Maker. Looking for a word processor that sorts,
  computes, charts, slices and dices? Look elsewhere. WriteNow's
  features fall short in a few important areas, but what it does do,
  it does with a rare attention to detail.
 
  First, a little background. I know Word cold. I use Nisus
  casually, and frequently listen to Adam's opinions about it. I
  used WriteNow 2.0 several years ago as my primary word processor.
  So if I don't mention MacWrite or WordPerfect, it's due to lack of
  information. In addition, another WriteNow user, Tad Davis,
  contributed some information. Let's look at WriteNow's especially
  good features first.
 
 
A manual to die for
  The manual's authors avoided corporate-speak and used a clear,
  conversational tone. The manual includes word processing basics
  that most TidBITS readers can skip and an excellent conceptual
  discussion of how WriteNow ticks. Details show up in a reference
  guide to the menu commands, an extensive trouble-shooting chapter,
  and a useful appendix. The appendix offers specific information
  about file conversion, label templates, and a bundled Date Control
  Panel that allows you to change the Macintosh system date to
  virtually any format.
 
 
Stylish styles
  It's becoming fashionable for word processors to offer character
  styles, and T/Maker has implemented character styling wonderfully.
  T/Maker's programmers carefully considered the interaction between
  character and paragraph formatting, and paid attention to creating
  an easy interface. For example, assigning keyboard shortcuts to a
  style is trivial - in the Style dialog box, you simply pick from a
  pop-down menu of the available keyboard shortcuts. WriteNow
  indicates current style usage via unobtrusive pop-up menus in the
  bar at the bottom of the document window.
 
  WriteNow's styles outclass those in Word (which lacks character
  styles) and Nisus (which does have them, although without such a
  nice interface). WriteNow's implementation is the easiest to
  figure out without looking at the manual, its manual explains the
  details, and it has many nice touches with only a few odd quirks.
 
  I'd like to see an Apply button for viewing a changed style while
  still in WriteNow's Style dialog box. Tad Davis objected to
  WriteNow's lack of Space Before and Space After options for
  styling paragraphs, which let you define consistent amounts of
  white space between styled paragraphs, without typing additional
  hard returns.
 
  Peter Shank of T/Maker responded to Tad's objection, saying he
  hopes Space Before and Space After styling show up in future
  versions, but for now, users can work around this difficulty by,
  for example, setting up a BodyText style always followed by a
  SpaceBetween style with the SpaceBetween style always followed by
  BodyText.
 
 
Functional print merge
  The print merge works much like it does in Word, sans the Word 5.0
  print merge helper, OR and AND conditionals, and tables. Without
  tables, WriteNow compares poorly to Word since tables simplify
  creating, error-checking, and sorting a data document (and
  WriteNow has no Sort function). Also, tables simplify designing
  custom labels.
 
  WriteNow has two print merge features that I'd like to see in
  Word. First, an OMIT command, which allows you to specify a
  condition for a record to be omitted from a merge (i.e. omit
  people under age 25). Second, in WriteNow, you need not specify
  the data file. You simply type <<DATA ?Human, what data file shall
  I use today?>>. When you merge, WriteNow prompts for a file with
  that question.
 
 
Miscellaneous Nice Touches
  WriteNow abounds with unexpected features. To create a horizontal
  line, simply choose Insert Horizontal Line from the Format menu
  and select from the many variations.
 
  The Clean Up Windows command offers five different multiple-window
  displays. Nisus has similar features, but Word offers almost
  nothing here. Nisus can split a window horizontally or vertically
  and scroll the two halves independently, a feature that WriteNow
  lacks and that Word offers only on the horizontal.
 
  Print Preview, though slow to redraw, provides a one-, two-, or
  many-page view; a magnifying glass; a scrolling hand; and the
  ability to click anywhere and flip back to that spot in regular
  view. I especially like the icons in the Preview since they look
  like the tasks they represent.
 
  If you change printers and then try to print, many programs remind
  you to choose Page Setup before printing. WriteNow reminds you and
  then pops you into Page Setup automatically. In the Print dialog
  box, WriteNow offers the ability to print only odd or only even
  pages, something that Nisus does and Microsoft has finally added
  to Word 5.1. On to the good-and-bad features.
 
 
Ruler details
  The ruler, which gives audible feedback when you move the tab and
  margin markers, would be great, except that it has its own window.
  You have to first click in the ruler, then do your formatting, and
  then click out of it.
 
  Conveniently, WriteNow's side margins go by paragraph. In Word,
  the margin applies to the entire document, and the ruler triangles
  adjust the indents for individual paragraphs. WriteNow's ruler
  shows literally how far from the edge things will print, unlike in
  Word where you must calculate to figure out what's going on.
 
  WriteNow has no specific top or bottom margin. These margins are
  just the amount of space that the headers, footers, and footnotes
  take up. This method works nicely, but I find it a bit convoluted
  without the manual's explanation.
 
  Although you can set up multiple headers and footers, and even
  vary them on even and odd pages, you can't automatically suppress
  them on a given page. If you want your footer to start on Page 2,
  you have to wait until you know where Page 2 starts, and then
  insert the footer there.
 
 
The Spell Checker
  WriteNow's button-happy spell checker window consists of rows of
  buttons. The top row has the usual commands, and the remaining
  buttons offer suggested spellings for incorrect words, so you
  can't use keyboard shortcuts to select suggestions.
 
  The spell checker has an Ignore option, which ignores a particular
  word for the life of its existence in that document. WriteNow will
  still flag the word in other documents. This is better than Word's
  ignoring a word for only that Word session. I'm not sure if I like
  it as much as Nisus's more-flexible ignoring, which provides a
  character style for ignoring text.
 
  In an approach that others would do well to emulate, you can add
  many words to a user dictionary simply by selecting them in a
  WriteNow document, opening the dictionary, and clicking the Learn
  button.
 
 
Grammar Checking
  WriteNow doesn't have a grammar checker built in, but ships with
  Grammatik Mac. It's good that WriteNow comes with Grammatik Mac,
  but grammar checkers in general aren't so hot. They need to come a
  long way before they will be useful tools for most people.
 
 
Not so good and downright missing:
  In my experience, if you give users an inch, they'll want a mile.
  Give them underlining, and they will want overline too. Give them
  colors and they will want to print color separations. Give them
  search and replace and they will want to search for every
  paragraph having the style USER and add the word "goat," in bold
  italic, to the start of the second line in those paragraphs. Users
  will insist that this feature is vital and that they cannot
  imagine what possessed the propeller-head programmers to fail to
  put in this option. Anyhow, here's a laundry list of some features
  you won't find in WriteNow.
 
  WriteNow does columns, but cannot vary the number of columns in a
  document; you can start a document's page numbers at any number,
  but that's all you can do; no indexing or table of contents, no
  text wrap around graphics, multiple undos, non-contiguous
  selection, mathematical equations, glossary, customizable menus,
  GREP-style search and replace, or tables.
 
  A printing problem found in most, if not all, printer drivers
  relates to the suggestion in the WriteNow manual for "title
  pages" - it suggests that you start with a "zero" page number or
  "negative" page number, depending on how many unnumbered pages of
  front matter you have. The problem comes when you try to print
  those pages. The Print dialog does not recognize negative page
  numbers. You have to Print All and cancel after printing the pages
  you want.
 
 
Conclusion
  If you believe that the word processor that dies with the most
  features wins, then you won't see WriteNow as a winner. If you
  believe that the word processor that dies with the most grace wins
  then you'll view WriteNow as a champion. As Tad Davis said, "I
  have more powerful programs, but I keep coming back to this one.
  It's the best electronic pencil going."
 
  How about a WriteNow Deluxe? WriteNow 3.0 is great for new users,
  people needing a PowerBook word processor, and users with simple
  to medium needs. These people will enjoy the elegant working
  environment that WriteNow provides. But for people who must do
  indexes or slightly fancier page layout or slightly more
  sophisticated search and replace, WriteNow is so disappointing.
  But, if you don't need the high-end stuff, you might well dub it
  the word processor for the rest of us.

Duo, An Alternative View
------------------------
  by Ian Feldman -- ianf@random.se
 
  Thanks to wonders of that modern monstrosity known as "global
  marketing" we can easily second-guess Apple's intentions and judge
  its image solely by creative reading between the lines. Take the
  new European PowerBook Duo brochure (the doubly-folded 8-page job,
  with a dock swallowing a Duo on the cover). I have it in Swedish
  in front of me and am sure that other versions could be found in
  many other countries. Not surprisingly, if subjected to analysis
  according to principles of investigative logic learned from a Mr.
  Sherlock Holmes, that brochure yields a lot of inside information
  about Apple itself, and of the perception that Apple holds of the
  world at large.
 
  OK, let's start with the cover: obviously we're in a home office,
  not in some glass Ivory Tower setting. Female hands with oh-so-
  long fingers (nails too long for a concert pianist) fondle a Duo.
  Dark wood, moody lighting, the works. What's that thing, right
  next to the dock? Aha, that's a crystal ball! One with etched
  outlines of the continents, a crystal-ball globe! Hmm... Apple has
  designs on the world.
 
  Conclusions of the cover: Apple can afford to hire a first-hand
  (sic!) hand model for its Duo-posing. Obviously, the company feels
  that a Duo is NOT the solution all by itself. You need a dock. And
  there's still a place for a crystal ball.
 
  We now switch to the inside. The headline proclaims, in Apple's
  80%-squeezed, global-image-standardized Garamond type, "the best
  of two worlds." A different woman's hand hovers over a stationary
  dock's keyboard, frozen for all eternity in the process of
  extracting a closed Duo from the slot. And you can see right
  through her hand so no detail of the keyboard beneath is obscured.
  Clearly, this woman is no concert pianist either, but one
  afflicted by the Common Advertising See-Thru (CAST) syndrome,
  that's so prevalent among people appearing in computer ads of
  recent years.
 
  Unfolded twice over we see two headlines, "Best among portable,"
  and "Best among stationary," accompanied by pictures showing a Duo
  230 alone and inserted into a dock. Once again, the hands shown
  typing are of models with that CAST syndrome. Come to think of,
  they could be hands of the invisible Chevy Chase, doing a bit of
  commercial work between real acting jobs.
 
  More conclusions: Apple can afford to hire plenty of models. Also
  they're not afraid to be represented in print by individuals
  stricken by modern four-letter maladies.
 
 
  Here comes the coup-de-grace: along the bottom edge of the spread
  there are 10 small pictures of a woman shown in what Apple clearly
  considers to be Recommended Poses To Assume With a Macintosh Duo.
  Starting on the left, that woman, let's call her Ann, is seated at
  a table that has "Designer Desk" written all over it. She is so
  totally engrossed in what's happening on the docked Duo's 14 inch/
  256 color screen (32,000 with 512K of VRAM) that she has to
  support her chin with one hand while womanhandling, one assumes,
  the tiny trackball with the other.
 
  Next, Ann has turned towards us to show off her shapely legs. She
  has finished work for the day and is now in the process of
  withdrawing what looks like a greyish pizza carton from the dock.
  Soon Ann has succeeded with the task. Standing with a great mane
  of Rula-Lenska-like auburn hair, she puts the Duo into an attache
  case. Caution, Ann, you're doing it all wrong! You're supposed to
  turn the Duo on its axis so it won't occupy more than at most half
  the space inside! How else are you gonna fit the WSJ, the WWD, and
  your career woman's papers there as well?
 
  Image four: Ann has turned around and is now heading away from her
  previous position, an occasion also to show her dynamic profile.
  Thus we arrive at the center of the brochure. Surprise! Ann has
  veered off home for a change of clothes, then headed for the park
  to resume, one assumes, working for the same company that keeps
  her in designer desks, dual-modality computers, and more than one
  change of clothes. She now sports a yellow polo sweater, faded
  jeans, and Easy Rider-model leather shoes. A scarf around her
  hair, she has "casual" and "at ease with my Duo" written all over
  her body. She is writing a memo to her boss, or maybe she's the
  boss who's writing a memo to her underlings - it's hard to tell.
  In any event she's clearly enjoying the wrought-iron park bench,
  harder though it may be than her padded Designer Chair.
 
  Never mind, we're now at picture six of ten. Ann has risen and is
  once again headed somewhere. She has her Duo in a shoulder bag,
  not in a briefcase. Judging by the next picture, she was heading
  home where she keeps her Duo next to a monitor next to a picture
  of someone obviously worth remembering and an empty(?) milk(?)
  bottle.
 
  Once again she is shown engrossed in her little new computer.
  Doesn't Ann ever rest? Is she under such pressure that she has to
  keep working all the time just to pay the basic bills? The
  brochure doesn't tell. As in the office, she has assumed that
  one-hand-under-chin-the-other-on-trackball intense position. She's
  had time enough to change clothes once more, that much we can see,
  and also for some remodelling of her hair so now she's not at all
  unlike, say, Diane Keaton impersonating a young Katherine Hepburn.
 
  In either case, she has clearly finished whatever she was working
  on since, in the next picture, she is once again moving, same
  clothes, Duo gripped tightly in her bare hand, all smile.
 
  Next pic, we know why she was smiling. Ann is seated on an
  airplane; she must've been sent off on a junket to some faraway
  balmy place, all expenses paid, no excuses! As befitting someone
  entitled to travel in Designer Armchair Class she is now wearing
  the standard Travelling Businesswomen garb: white silk shirt,
  bluish jacket, hair gathered in a bun, grey slacks, earclips,
  pumps. After all, she has an image to project and maintain, her
  company's as much as her own, has she not?
 
  So where is Ann headed and for what purpose? We are let onto the
  secret in the concluding picture. Ann is standing next to her Duo
  that's connected to a largish monitor, obviously looked at by some
  important clients. She must have brought a change of clothes with
  her because the earclips are the only element that I recognize
  from the previous setup. Uniform this time is standard Modern
  Female Pink issue, no extras. She reminds me of someone whom I
  cannot yet place. One hand on the Duo, she is pointing with the
  other at the monitor with a very low-tech, wooden pointer. What a
  letdown... couldn't she at least have used one made out of laser?
 
  And what, exactly, is it that has thus far been the objective of
  Ann's work activities? What is she pointing at on that 40-inch
  monitor? The answer, extracted with the help of a 15x magnifying
  lens and a lot of logick[tm], is a QuickTime movie of a vestibule
  of the Kendall Tower building (Greenwich Square, London, England),
  that this Havisham & Wemmick company is trying to palm off on some
  investors in today's tight money markets. This gives her away...
  our Ann is, obviously, Ann Angell, the real estate agent in charge
  of that object whose datafiles are portrayed on all the
  screenshots in the brochure.
 
  Still, this brings us to the more serious matter of all that free
  publicity extended to Superior Products, Havisham & Wemmick and
  Nakamura and Associates, the three real-estate companies whose
  names appear in Ann's onscreen data. Simple analyst though I may
  be I just know that there's no such thing as free publicity in
  today's complex business world. Everything is deeply
  intertwingled. Is Apple already owned, or about to be taken over,
  by a group of real-estate companies, perhaps with plans to use the
  California manufacturing facilities to write off profits of future
  shady deals? That Nakamura name is a dead giveaway. Clearly, this
  is no laughing matter but one that warrants further investigation
  by more competent Apple-watcher-cum-conspiracy-theorists than
  myself.
 
  Well, that's about it, folks. Now we know who Apple had in mind
  when they made the Duo... real-estate agents. Oh, yes! The woman
  Ann reminded me of: Molly Dodd, of the Days and Nights of fame.
  Pure coincidence? You may care to remember that Molly _was_ a real
  estate agent herself before giving up her job to concentrate on
  the search for Mr. Right, before she met the Indian Brahmin, the
  neighborhood garbage collector, the All-American pilot (the one
  she left in disgust because he was too perfect for love), rejected
  once again the alto-saxophonist, her divorced first husband, until
  finally meeting Him in the guise of a Hassidic all-thumbs-pianist
  from Williamsburg, N.Y. That's the kind of adventurous person whom
  Apple obviously considers worthy of a Duo.
 
  Thus we arrive at following Authoritative Conclusions From The
  Thought Server: Apple may or may not already be secretly owned by
  some Japanese real-estate conglomerate. While they're still based
  in Cupertino, CA, it is nice to know that they selected Molly Dodd
  to be their role model for a Macintosh Duo user. They could have
  picked up Margaret Thatcher and then where would we be?
