No, look closely. The message mentions WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS and Microsoft
Word 5.1 for Macintosh. Word Perfect 2.1.3 is the current shipping version of
Word Perfect for the Macintosh.

Date: 11 Jan 93 00:17:02 GMT

Anyone have ideas on why SuperBoomerang 3.0.2 would suddenly die?  It comes up
during startup with an X through it and when you try to open it the message
appears that "Super Boomerang cannot be used now.  There may not be enough
memory avialable or the control panel may be damaged."  I reinstalled SB and
reinstalled the system and it still doesn't work.  This is on a Quadra running
7.0.1 w/TuneUp 1.1.1.  SB worked fine for monthes previously!?

I tired superboomerang as one of the only "extra" extensions (to eliminate 
any possilbe conflicts, which seemed unlikely 'cause nothing had changed) and
it still fails during startup.

Reconciliation of an account was annoying also.  If you made a mistake
in entering a check amount (something I do at least once a month) you
had to quit reconciliation, fix the erroneous amount and start up
reconciliation again.  In Quicken, you can just double click on the
check that needs fixing, fix it and keep on going.

My husband misses MacMoney because it did pie charts and Quicken
doesn't.  However, the pie charts weren't completely accurate (for
what we wanted to see).  If you made $1,000 and only spent $800, the
pie chart showed a breakdown of the $800.  It didn't show the $200
that you indirectly had saved.  

We also got a good laugh out of the cash flow trend graph.  It always
showed our cash flow going "down the toliet" no matter how much money
we had saved.  I don't quite remember why this was so; it could be
that we would save for 3 or 4 months and then have a big expense.
Still, cash flow was positive.  In all fairness, at that time we
didn't track all our savings accounts and investments, so I don't
think the shortcomings of the cash flow trend were completley
MacMoney's fault.

So, our finances aren't quite as fun now with Quicken, but they are
definitely easier to handle.  :-)

Diskdoubler says it will expand compressed files ond execute compressed programs

I'm a molecular biology major with a Mac Classic still running system
6.07. Up until now, I've used ClarisWorks, as I frequently had to
have charts with spreadsheet-type calculations in the same document
as my text. I used it mostly for lab reports, with the occasional term
paper thrown in, and it's performed adequately.

However, I've got a 50-100 page thesis coming up next year, and I'm
not sure if CW is up to it. I have access to my lab's copy of
Cricket Graph, so the mathematical side is not a problem. However,
which word processor would be my best bet? I've narrowed my choices
down to WordPerfect, MS Word, and Nisus. It has to have indexing
and table of contents, and have a way to import data tables and graphs.
(Although a word processor that doesn't have this capability must
surely be doing poorly in sales (-; ). So, e-mail or post any
suggestions--I'll be listening!

Two things to look at;  (I don't have the archive filenames or etc. here)

1. Superclock.  In addition to being a nifty menubar clock, it has a
nagging
                alarm mode.
                
2. Remember.  I think that 2.32 is the current version.  A general purpose

The first version was very limited, but the current version is much, much
better.  It still doesn't support investments or loans, but it does support
credit card and cash accounts.  Also the reporting features are improved.

The app gets launched from whichever disk was mounted last, and on a particular
disk, the first entry in the DeskTop file is used.

This has the really obnoxious effect of always launching an application from
a fileserver even if there is a copy of the app on your hard disk.

I haven't found any predictable way to reorder the entries in the DeskTop file.

A "third party marketing opportunity" would be a Finder Hack that lets a user
manually pick out which application they really want launched, and have it
remembered.  If it can't be found, then the Finder would continue its search
path.

I will suggest the Daystar Powercache. It is a bit expensive, but really
makes your machine speed up. Not a software solution though.

Why not call the makers of Studio 8 to get a compatible version ?
There are lots of non-FPU machines with color-QD these days, so there
must be a fix somewhere.

Well, depending on your requirements for shapes, there are a couple of
options:

Richard Friend's excellent DFDEditor program does dataflow diagrams. It may
not provide you with enough shape options, though. It is available at
sumex-aim.stanford.edu as "/app/dfd-editor-11.hqx".

Another choice would be DesignerDraw, which is also available at sumex, as
"/app/designer-draw.hqx". It has more shapes and things, but I've seen
reports that it doesn't work on some systems.

Of course, other options would be commercial programs like Top-Down or
FlowChart Express, both from Kaetron. If you do a lot of hierarchical
charts (I do), Org Plus, from Banner Blue, can be used for all kinds of
hierarchical charts, not just organization charts.
