 Hello!

  I was surprised with the interest people have shown on the Page
Maker "credits" tip. At least eight persons have sent me private
messages commenting on it, or asking me to provide the mentioned key-
stroke sequences. Danielle wonders what are the ones hidden into the
Excel code showing the logos "battle". I really don't know. But Karin
Youngberg teaches us the Win 3.1 credits tip:

Pull down the Help menu and click About in any application that
comes with Windows--Program Manager or Notepad, e.g. You will see a
Help About dialog box.  Now hold down both the Ctrl and Shift keys
simultaneously and double-click the icon that appears in the upper-
left corner of the dialog box.  Nothing will seem to happen. Click
OK to close the dialog box, then click Help About again.  This time,
when you Ctrl+Shift+double-click the icon, a small flag will appear,
waving the Windows logo....
Don't stop yet, though--there's more. Click OK to close this dialog
box, then click Help About again.  At this point, when you
Ctrl+Shift+double-click the icon, a small figure materializes,
pointing to a scrolling text box with the names of the Windows
3.1...staff.

The 2 paragraphs above are quoted from *Windows Secrets 3.1* by
Brian Livingston.  It's a wonderfully helpful book. Good luck. It>
works if you follow the directions exactly.

    ...Sorry Karin if I did wrong letting your E_Mail up there (
anyway it's easy to find the userid of anyone subscribed to PAGE
MAKR just by issuing the REVIEW PAGEMAKR-L command to the List-
server).

 I hope we aren't gonna see another flame on the superiority of the
PC or the Mac. Athough I've always used a PC I think I have suffered
from what a famous (here) newspaper computer expert has classified
as "Mac Envy" (which every PC user of graphic applications should
have felt at least once in his/her life). Nothing new about this.
Everybody knows DOS is not THE operating system for 386 machines
And now we have already had scientific confirmation from Cindy's
(the one in whose veins now runs Macintosh blood, said the Poet)
posting, that Page Maker is really better at a Mac (as the book-
let discussion has shown) or at least, is in a further development
stage...

 Well, reading the statistics Geof has compiled for the DTPFAQ
I noticed there was a NeXt user listed. I've read wonderfull things about
that platform. You can for example Cut & Paste from an application
to another just by dragging the picture from the source window to
the destination one. Something like the graphic move command in
Windows 3.1 Filemanager; when you "drag" a file from drive C: to
a floppy disk in drive a: or b: I also have heard that you can
also see nice displays of EPS files on the screen instead of a
coarse bitmap emulation or a foolish X in a box. Although I have never
seen one of those wonders I'd like to hear the opinion of anyone who has
used Pagemaker using the NeXt environment.

Talking about our good friend Geof, I insist in not beeing a lady...
