Hello Net Master,
                     I have a big problem in pasting
some little QuickTime movie in a Nisus document; after I pasted it,
word typing become very slow, and most often, Nisus quit suddenly
with a message error number 1 (memory problem? I don't think so; I
give Nisus a lot of memory...).
Is anybody out there having a similar problem?
I use QuickTime 1.5 with system 7.0/TuneUp on a mac IIci.
Please help!
                    Martin.

Yeah, but I like being able to select a bunch of icons and drag-drop them on
Stuffit Expander and have them all deHQX and unpack.

What would really be neat would be a utility to go with Stuffit Lite that
would work like Stuffit Expander in reverse -- you'd drag a bunch of files
onto it, and it would use Apple Events to fire up Stuffit Lite and compress
them into an archive.

One reason for picking Stuffit Lite over Compact Pro is that Lite has
encryption.  (Pro only has encryption for US users -- boo, hiss!)

My only gripe with Lite is that every now and again, it unexpectedly quits
with error 3.  If I immediately run it again, it works.  I don't know what's
causing this.  It could be an INIT conflict; I have quite a gadget-laden
machine.  Has anyone else had similar problems?  I tried the usual tricks --
deleting the preferences file, zapping and rebuilding the desktop file,
re-installing the system, re-installing Lite from my master disk.  (Yes, I
registered it.)  My suspicion is that Central Point Anti-Virus may be
something to do with it, as I bought and installed that at about the time I
registered Lite, and that's when the problems started...

Here at NASA Lewis Research Center many folks use a time-management system 
put out by Franklin International in Utah. The system revolves around 
recording everything you do, etc. in your notebook (e.g. 'Planner'). This is 
similar to the more available DayRunner and other organizers. I saw in a 
recent catalog that the Macintosh version of the Franklin system is now 
available. Has anyone seen this product or tried it? It is probably to small 
a seller for the major magazines to review (the recent MacUser/Macworld which 
reviewed personal organizers didn't mention it). I would greatly appreciate 
hearing from anyone with any experience with this software.  Thanks.

Hello

I am looking  for a word processor that handles graphics and text the way I want
to use them. This is what I would like to do:

Suppose I have a stream of paragraphs labelled A thru J. I want to refer to a 
graphic in paragraph A, let's call it Figure 1. I would like the figure to 
appear in the document following the paragraph it is referenced in, i.e. A.

Thus the flow would look like A, Figure 1, B, C, etc. Now if there is not enough
room on the page where paragraph A appears, then I want the figure to be on the 
next page. However, the stream text should not be disrupted ( no large white
space blocked out because of the figure.)

I would like the word to be smart enough to do this with my having to move the
graphic and placing it.

I currently use Wordperfect 2.1, and it can not do what I just described.

Can anyone suggest a way to do what I want?

Please e-mail suggestions as I am not a regular reader. Many thanks in return.

Some applications do not work properly with FaxMenu.  I suspect it is
those applications which look for, and trap, shift-option-control
modifiers when menus are selected.  Nisus is an example.

Easy solution: choose FaxPrint as the output device, and return it to
your other printer when done faxing.

I have not had any major problems with FaxSTF, and I am very
staqsified with it (and I've faxed quite a lot of stuff).

Yes, but it's not really a solution to the problem. After all, sometimes
one forgets to move the mouse into the corner, or accidentally bumps
it out of the corner. What is needed is a) a screen-saver that doesn't
interfere with PageMaker (several have suggested the public-domain
DarkSide), or b) Aldus to recognize and fix this problem.

This is one place where I think that Dollars & Sense has clearly the
best approach (of the alternatives that I've seen).  It keeps up to 2
full years of data in the database.  So when you start a new year in
January of 1993, you are throwing out (archiving, actually) the data
from 1991.  You keep your 1992 data and add the 1993 data through
1993.

This has a couple of benefits.

  -- You can continually update last year's data.  In my case, I get
         various statements and stuff that affect last year's taxes
         through the first 3 months or more of a new year.

  -- You can look at last year's data without having to close your
         current year's file and open the previous year's file.  I
         found that I did this quite often, maybe because it was so
         easy. 

I've recently switched over to MYM because I like its integrated
investment tracking.  But I do wish it kept two years of data
available, like Dollars & Sense.

Sometimes this is not enough. E.g. the US version of 4th dimension
recognizes the trick. 

But this one worked: (System 7.0 with TuneUp) I exchanched the two
INTL-recources by the US ones (copied them from a US system). Then I 
edited the US-recources of itl0 and itl1 so that time and date
formatting is localized even when I set the international control 
panel to US, what I have to do for 4th dimension (US) to run.

Disclaimer: It's a very ugly hack and I don't know what I _really_ did.
There may be ugly side effects, and if you copy the trick, you'll do so 
entirely at your own risk. And I have no idea if it might break any
license agreement.

Sorry if these are FAQs, but I couldn't find the latest FAQ list here.

Which of the latest releases (I can't remember the version numbers) of 
GIFConverter or JPEGView are better for viewing JPEG (.jpg) files on an
8-bit color system with 640 x 480 resolution?

Do these require Quicktime 1.5, or are they compatible with Quicktime 1.0?

What are the ftp names of these releases, and their ftp sites and directories?

Finally, is an LC II with only 4 Mb of RAM capable of viewing Quicktime 
movies, or would that require getting special video boards and lots of money?

the only changes that happened when QT 1.5 came out were to the movies
themselves.  There were no changes made to any of the players.  I'm still
using the same MoviePlayer that i was using when QT 1.0 first came out,
and it works fine for QT 1.5 movies on my IIvx (btw, movies look SOOOOOO

May I put a word in for Euro-OzTeX,

I got it because it had the magic name of Yannis Haramboulos

(He is well-known in TeX-land for his marvellous fonts.)

The Metafont and GFtoPK (required with Metafont)

I'm using it with a StyleWriter,

We use PassProof from Kensington Microsystems.  It includes a disk drive lock
and covers for the SCSI ports, and a screen saver/ logon program.  There is
also a user log package.  I'm not sure how securethe protection is, but it
