Let me just add my $0.02 worth here... I recently got HotLinks (about 2
weeks ago) and I *love* it.  *ANYONE* out there using PageStream2 should
seriously consider this package!  Although BME (bit map editor) is a bit
limited, its great for cropping, etc. And when you "subcribe" (like importing)
to the image in PageStream, it comes in instantly (even with my 60000).
PageLiner (the word processor) is soooooooo much nicer than having to do
text editing in PageStream!!! It has a good spell checker thats pretty
fast. I usually pull up PageStream *and* PageLiner at the same time -- 
moving from one to the other... Its a dream come true for PageStream users.

Wish list: I would like to see a capability for PageLiner to interface
with the ISpell package (so that I can use a single spelling data base).
I would also like to see color support in BME. (note: since bitmap images
are represented in PageStream in B&W, it really doesn't matter *that* 
much -- considering that BME is *fast*).

One more thing, I just want to say that I am in no way associated with
the folks at Soft-Logic, I just think they have a fine DTP package, and
now with HotLinks support, its one more feather in their cap!

There is really only two choice for printing sheet music on the Amiga.  The
first is Deluxe Music Construction Set from Electronic Arts.  It is fairly easy
to use, inexpensive, and will print to any Preferences-supported printer.  It
will not generate PostScript.  DMCS will allow you to listen to your songs as
well as let you listen to your scores.  It supports both internal samples as
well as MIDI output.  The second choice is The Copyist from Dr. T.  It will
give you the ultimate control over your final printout but is not as easy to
use as DMCS (at least from the demo copy of The Copyist I saw quite a while
back).  The Copyist will not *play* anything - it is solely a scoring package. 
It will write your score to a standard MIDI file format for playback by another
sequencer if you want to listen to what you composed.  Output from The Copyist
is superb - PostScript is supported as well.

Your third choice is a combination of the two.  Using the Copyist Companion
(also from Dr. T), you can convert from DMCS format to The Copyist format. 
This allows you to have the ease of score creation in DMCS with the editing
power of The Copyist. Unfortunately this means that you have to buy both...

ux1.cso.uiuc.edu has the latest fish and also the latest data files for
the Aquarium program.  However, the data files for Aquarium generally
lag behind the latest fish releases.

So, unfortunately, data files through 690 is all we got for now.

Kevin,

     I must say that it was a pleasure to add Hotlinks to ProWrite.  There
were a couple of problems with include files and documentation that 
indicated that New Horizons was the first to implement Hotlinks, but I'm
sure that all those problems have been worked out now.  Help from Soft-Logik
was great and everyone there knew the answers to all our questions.  I
certainly hope that more developers support Hotlinks.  And I also hope that in
the future, ProWrite is enhanced so that multiple editions can be placed
anywhere in the document, instead of the way it does it now where the whole
document is the text edition, like Page Liner.

     I am no longer involved with the development of ProWrite, but Hotlinks
was one part of ProWrite 3.3 that I saw evolve very nicely.  Now, it's back
to school for me.

[...feature list deleted...]

Sounds great! good job! But I have one more concern: there used to be a problem
with previous versions of ProWrite affecting printing to HP DeskJet printers,
and especially positioning of the top margin. Has this finally been fixed?

(and no, I don't want to hear again that the bug is within the DeskJet itself 
 or within the driver, because others WP's and DTP's program (including Excel-
 lence! and PageStream) can output to it without any problem , using the same
 printer & driver (well ok, Pagestream uses a custom driver!))

I have never been able to use ProWrite correctly because of this "little"
problem (and I know other DeskJet owners who fell the same as I do...) so I
hope this has been fixed!

Regards... christian.

I use to use Switcher and I agree that it is very nice, but one of the neat features about 2.0 is that the Left-Amiga N and M keys have changed functionality a bit!  Left-Amiga N now ALWAYS brings up your workbench screen and (now) Left-Amiga M allows you to cycle through all of your screens.  Before 2.0, Left-Amiga M would just bring you back to the last custom screen that you were on!

Personally, I find the Left-Amiga key sequences much handier than Switcher since my hands very rarely wander off of my keyboard!

Scott <Gorton@s35.prime.com>

p.s.  I might have the N and M keys backwards.  I have no Amiga present to verify!

Perhaps the best piece of advice anyone could provide you with at this
time would be to wait for the announcements at the WOC in Pasadena, CA
September 11-13. Many of your concerns could be substantially affected

I had none of these problems.  I wonder if more than one version has been
shipped?  It claims to be V3.00.

One possible difference:  though I did own excellence! V2, I installed V3
after a hard disk reformat (for 2.04) and so it would have looked like a new
installation rather than an upgrade.  Wonder if this is why it worked.

Joe,
   I've not heard of any similar product for the Amiga. However you can reclaim
some disk space by using a program such as Imploder to manually compress
programs and libraries; they are uncompressed on the fly when they are loaded.
This does not help with data and text files but can result in some significant
disk savings (PowerPacker has some ability with these files, but I am
unfamiliar with it).

   hope this helps,

I purchased My Diary and had my hopes up for a nice journal/appointment/note
etc. application. I'm afraid I've given up on Mark Hellman and am looking
for something else. I saw reccommendations for Who What Where When. Who
makes it and what are some of its features? I don't want to buy something
sight unseen.

Thanks,
