	Well, if Adobe told you the only work around was to rever to an old
version of ATM, they haven't done enough testing ;).

	There is indeed a problem between SpaceSaver & SuperATM, which was
discovered almost immediately at MacWorld when Adobe released SATM - at the
same time the REAL workaround was discovered...Simply let SpaceSaver load
AFTER SuperATM.

	We are awaiting a copy of SuperATM to determine the problem, but since
it appears that SuperATM has problems with a number of other "standard"
products such as Suitcase II, America Online and more, I have a feeling that
we will be unable to do anything other than inform Adobe where they screwed
up again!

There is an upgrade to the tools (3.0.5) in the sumex files

and they are quicktime, new tools, etc.  There is also a software

 I used BitFont to make a bitmap of a Type 1 font, and thereafter the bitmap

 file, and ATM would no longer render the font smoothly. Ideas?

Moving EPS files is not always easy. Actually there are some subtle
differences (like EPSF on a MAC is not EPSI on Unix). In the case of Quark 
files, I don't know that Quark has made public its specs for output files.
If they did then a Quark Xtension might be able to take a Quark file and
save it as some other kind of file. Also, a PageMaker Addition could read in
a Quark file. Unfortunately, this is probably a doomed exercise since there
are probably some things that a Quark file can have that aren't "realizable"
in other file formats (and vice versa I'm sure).
When importing to Illustrator you have to be sure to Import EPS files and
not just open them.

Hi,
I just detected two annoying bugs in the german version of 
Symantecs Greatworks 2.0.3:

In the spreadsheet module the functions RATE and IRR, which should compute 
the interest rate for some given values, don't work.  They always report a 
VALUE error, i.e. wrong input data type, even for the examples from the manual.  
Can anybody report this error for non-german versions?
If it works for you, please let me know the order of parameters in your 
version, maybe they just misprinted it in the german manual.   

Has anybody the net address of Symantec, USA?  
I reported the bug to the german site, but if the same error occurs in other 
versions, I'll report to them, too.

Thanx for any help,
Kai

I have Fastback, some of my colleagues have Retrospect. I think I lost out.
Fastback may be (marginally) faster, but Retrospect has a better interface
(from what I've seen). What really bothers me about Fastback is that I
can't restore a file to a volume with a different name than the one it was
backed up from. Retrospect apparently handles this with it's
archive/retrieve function.

Date: 23 Jan 1993 18:43:05 GMT

Distribution: world
NNTP-Posting-Host: hal.ai.mit.edu

Hi. My friend recently upgraded to Word 5.1a. He has a stylewriter I printer
and has had trouble using the new envelope feature on Word. 

The page set up options seem messed up.  When he tries to print an
envelope, he does not have an envelope option to click on for the
paper size. (I am talking about the size at the type of the dialog
box- not the menu which allows you to pick which size of envelope.)
Instead of an envelope option, he has an international fax option.

This is strange because when he goes to teh Page Setup menu while
in a document, the envelope option is there --not the international fax
option.  

The page set up options in the envelope printing box also have
a 'computer paper' option instead of 'custom paper size' option. The
custom paper size option exists when he choses Page Seteup in a 
document.

Basically, he is unable to use the envelope command now, because he cannot
chose 'Envelope' as his paper type.  Can anyone help? Did he install
Word 5.1 incorrectly? 

He is using Stylewriter driver 7.2.2


Please send me email if you an help.

Did you terminate the extra port on each PhnoNet connector?  You should
have gotten an RJ-11 plug with a 120 ohm resistor across two of the
contacts that you use as a terminator.

Also, make sure you have LocalTalk selected in the network control panel.

Organization: FAA / Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 22:47:02 GMT

My wife uses a peecee at work (bless her heart!) and uses lotus notes
to keep track of contacts and other such stuff (I'm guessing...).
Does anyone know if there is a way she can dial up the peecee from our
mac at home and access the data stored by lotus notes?  I guess the
ideal answer is, "yeah, use lotus notes for the mac", but I don't know
if this is available, or how it could be used to access the data at
work.  Anyone familiar enough with Lotus Notes on the peecee to offer
a viable solution?  For example, can she have Lotus Notes write the
data to an ascii file which could be uploaded to claris works, or
better yet, imported directly?

I don't have many particulars, so just assume all of the hardware is
reasonable (for a peecee) and in place (modems, etc.). I'm looking for
a cheap/free solution.

This is not a major need, but it would impress her boss and make her
life a bit easier when she is working from home this summer after
giving birth to a new programmer :-)

The precise answer to his third question is "barely".  It turns out that
the source code to Macintalk has been lost for many years (Apple bought
the binary program from a small company, which then proceeded to go bust
and disappear, leaving them with no source).  They were able to patch the
binary to keep up with small changes, but when System 7 came out, the
sound architecture was changed so much that Macintalk no longer really worked,
and the folks at Apple didn't feel like continuing any work on that turkey.
HOWEVER, the folks who do the Talking Moose managed to patch the binary to
make it work.  It isn't clear how much longer they'll be able to keep it
going as the System changes, but with luck, they won't have to:  Apple has
been promising a brand new speech-synthesis architecture (written by them,
so this time they can keep fixing it :-) for several months (in fact, I think
since System 7 came out).  The new speech-synthesizer is supposed to sound
much more like a natural voice (rather than, say, a Canadian moose with
nasal congestion :-).

There is an Apple Tech Note explaining this;  I forget which number.

Apple released a small utility with the System7 disks called LaserWriter

If your system disks do not have it, ask your dealer and he/she should
