While it's relatively thin contact-management-wise, Dynodex is quite good;
and it's pretty cheap (~$50 street price).  Its printing capabilities are
wonderful; it'll print to paper (included) that fits DayTimers, etc.  I
actually use it to manage the subscriptions to a journal that I publish (it's
great for mailing labels).  The publisher is Portfolio and they have a
free (fully-functional) demo available (which may be on some of the more
popular FTP sites).

Hi Shannon.  I've been using At Ease in an undergraduate lab for about 6 months now.
It works great but there are some limitations.  Such as the inability to create folders
or areas for specific users, delete alias from the document pages etc.

The only option I have found (which didn't work - I specifically used At Ease because
the users couldn't seem to handle the Mac without messing things up) is to use Save As
from the file menu and save in a folder.  The alias to the document still appears in 
the document menu however.  Microsoft word for one does allow the creation of folders.

Of course this doesn't disuade people from saving a document in say the Extensions
folder.  To protect against this I have made some of the folders invisible with
ResEdit, such as the Extensions folder.  

If anyone does write you with a better solution please e-mail it to me.

Thanks, John

How do you figure this? By definition, if there are architectural changes
in a file format, an older version can't open files created by a newer
version of the program, or if it can, it can't take advantage of the 
functionality offered by the newer version's format.

This isn't 'planned obsolescence', this is progress.

It's not a 'powerful argument for staying with Compact Pro', because
Compact Pro is subject to the same limitations.

There's no reason to 'curse Aladdin', since, after all, they provide a
free expander for their current file format, as they always have. In 
fact, it's a pretty good reason to use the Aladdin format, since they
haven't forgotten to support the users of the shareware StuffIt products.
Whether this is smart PR or common sense is moot - the fact is that
StuffIt Expander can unstuff any StuffIt file format back to the 
original.

the file exists.  He has tried importing the Superpaint file, exporting

Date: 23 Dec 92 01:16:39 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH

While hacking my only copy of Framemaker, I accidentally chopped something
in one of its code resources, and now it bombs all the time. I just tried
to restore from my disks, but they no longer work! I am suffering from a
move: when my parents moved in the summer, I lost most of my computer 
archival stuff, including registration forms that I hadn't sent in yet, etc.

Anyway, I used Macsbug to trace the error, and it seems that my copy bombs
somewhere in CODE 1, which makes sense since that is where I was trying to
make my modifications. 

Anyway, would someone out there who has ResEdit handy be able to send me a
copy of CODE 1 as a ResEdit resource? It's about 32K long, so it should be
manageable to BinHex and mail. This is version 3.0, by the way.

I know I am asking a lot here, somebody with a copy of Framemaker 3.0 and
ResEdit who knows how to make a resource clip, but I am desparate. The
company won't talk to me since all I have are copies of my master disks and
a transfer of ownership from someone who never registered his copy.

Even if you only have Framemaker 3.0 and ResEdit, or even just FM 3.0, and 
want to be a good samaritan for someone who is getting his comeuppance for
not backing up files and buying software from irreputable 3rd parties, please
E-mail me. I am trying to use FM for my thesis this year and would hate to

".hqx" means that the file has been compressed or coded as a 
BinHex file.  You can get a converter on Compact Pro 1.33 which
is available as shareware.  Check it out with a local Mac users
group.  When you run Compact Pro, you will find the converter
under the "Misc" menu.

Remember to send the file from the server to your mac as a
binary file.  Once you get the file to your home computer,
convert it with Compact Pro.

Good luck.
