Does anyone know if Microsoft Word 5.1 is script savvy?  I put together a
version of 7.0.1 with English and Hebrew scripts which works quite well at
switching between the two languages.  Finding a word processor that handles
multiple scripts correctly turns out to be a more difficult task.  Word would
be my wife's first choice if it met this requirement but if anyone wants to
make other recommendations, I'm interested in hearing them.

how suitable is this program for curve fitting?

I would like to be able to do linear, quadratic, semi-log, log-log,

What is the quality of the resulting plots?

Ther is a folder on my desktop, and it won't go away. I
tried dragging it to the trash but it ended up as a
WordPerfect document somehow. Then I tried using flamefile,
and my hard drive blew up. I then asked a friend of mine

Can't say for sure, as I've never used SpaceSaver, but my guess is no (or 
at least, not happily.)
Since both programs are designed to pass files more or less transparently 
to everything else, best case scenario would be that one would be 
constantly expanding stuff when the other one scans to compress. Of 
course, they might actually be aware of each other... More likely, 
though, is just nastiness, as they are both patching some fairly 
low-level disk stuff and are likely to conflict...

There are two possible solutions:
1. get the newest MacX, version 2.0 (??) is announced/has been released.
   It provides a "backing store" for the windows.  Version 1.1.7 does not.
2. instruct the DEC software (ANSYS) you're running to keep a backing store.
   How to do that should be mentioned somewhere in its manual.

I had similar problems with IDL on the DEC: windows were not refreshed 
by MacX 1.1.7.
Fortunately, IDL has a command ("device,retain=2") which instructs IDL 
to provide a "backing store" for all windows.
Note that the X-Windows ``standard'' doesn't require the X server (MacX)
to provide the backing store.  However, most servers do, as supposedly the 
latest release of MacX.  I haven't got it yet...

Good luck,

I would like to print documents in MSWorks 3.0 to a postscript file.
The Laserwriter printer driver allows you to do this with an option
at print-time, but the file for a 1 page document is in excess of 
700K.  Since this document was entirely text, I assume that it is 
creating bitmaps of the font (Times) and saving the bitmap rather 
that the straight text with formatting/font commands.

My question is this:  How can I create a postscript file that uses
text/font/formatting information rather than bitmaps?  (The system
is a Mac LCII running 7.0.1, and there is no printer attached.)
Thanks in advance.

	We do something this exact thing, and we use easyPrint ($29.95) from 
S/FO (EMail:SFO@applelink.apple.com) which is an Apple event aware printer 
switching application (and also does cool Desktop Printers).  You just configure
an "easyPrinter" for the specific printer you want, and thn have your FMPro
script send it events.

	Actually you are half right...StuffIt is looking for the preferences
file (and the Aladdin folder), but is is being TOO intelligent about it.  It
is resolving ALL aliases that it finds - including things like "Last Edition
Used" which will usually point to another disk.

	This problem has been corrected with StuffIt Lite 3.0.3 available 
shortly.  StuffIt Lite 3.0.3 also features some other bug fixes and some
COOL new features...

Any AIC-compressed application, CDEV, or INIT will run without AutoDoubler installed.
If, however, AutoDoubler is not on the computer when the app launches, a licensing

First, let me congratulate Nir Ailon of Israel for doing something
useful with the Macintosh while in 12th grade!

'NEW teeny deriver' does what it claims. Give it a function and the derivative
appears. I had some fun ploting these functions with MathPad, an interesting
plotting tool for simple tasks.

My concern is that 'NEW teeny deriver' does not use a Menu Bar nor seem
particularly friendly to switching programs. I tried it with System 7.01
and immediately had problems when I tried to switch to another program.
'NEW teeny deriver' did not create the Menu Bar again, did not release
computer to the other program. Stuck? I don't often have cause to use
'Command-option-escape' to force quit a program, glad it is there though.

'NEW teeny deriver' does appear to safely quit when its 'q' quit command
is used, just don't try to switch windows. Give it a try with caution and
send Nir a postcard and $5 if you find it useful!

Take a look at SoftQuad's (416) 239-4801 Author/Editor. It is a really
nice SGML editor that is available for the Mac, MS Windows and the X-Windows/
