Create both word processing "frames" and spreadsheet "frames" and
connect them together instead.  Now the word processing will flow
correctly.  See the manual for more details.

There is also WAIStation, which can use the "usenet-addresses" server to
find a person's address.  Here's the blurb that WAIStation returns from
the server:

----------

Server created with WAIS release 8 b3.1 on Nov 13 15:53:33 1991 by
emv@cedar.cic.net


usenet-addresses	e-mail addresses of people who post to Usenet

This is a WAIS database containing one-line entries
from the USENET addresses database on pit-manager.mit.edu.  This
database is also available via anonymous ftp in the file
	pit-manager.mit.edu:/pub/usenet-addresses/addresses 
Furthermore, there is a mail server interface to it -- send mail to
mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with 'help' in the body of the
message in order to receive more information.

You can search for the address of people who have posted to the USENET
simply by using their names, or possibly components of their address
(e.g. domain names), as seeds words to search in this database.

It is similar in spirit to the ``netfind'' server that Michael Schwartz
from the U of Colorado, Boulder describes in his papers on resource
discovery available from
	latour.cs.colorado.edu:/pub/RD.Papers/White.Pages.ps.Z

Other WAIS tools for finding people:
  usenet-addresses      e-mail addresses of people who post to usenet
  college-email         how to find e-mail addresses at universities
  uumap                 UUCP mapping project maps (comp.mail.maps)
  bitearn.nodes         BITNET, CREN, EARN, NETNORTH site contacts
  domain-contacts       WHOIS information for nic.ddn.mil
  fidonet-nodelist	FIDO network node contacts
  disi-catalog          X.500 client and server software notes

Discipline specific address databases include:
  aimb			Molecular biologists and artificial intelligence


This server is also running at pit-manager.mit.edu, port 210, database
name usenet-addresses.  Jonathan Kames (jik@pit-manager.mit.edu) is
responsible for the data.

Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 02:07:53 GMT

helpful. First, some PC programs and Mac programs can handle the same
image file formats. For instance, I think programs on both platforms can
handle TIFF file format. So if your PC with the scanner can save the file
as a TIFF file, and you have a program on the Mac that can read TIFF,
you're almost done. You just have to put the PC TIFF file on a floppy, and
use AFE to copy that file (using the default binary translator) onto the Mac.
  If you don't have programs that use common file formats, I'd guess that
you have to buy a commercial AFE filter, such as one from DataViz.
  There's a FREE program for the Mac called IMAGE that can handle a number
of image file formats. It's available at a number of Internet FTP sites.

A year or so ago I did a macro sheet called "FREQ_ETC" for Excel 3.0.
These shareware macros might handle your needs. Here is part of the 
intro to it:
___
* * *  The * * * macro sheet will create a table
containing frequencies, rankings, and a rough estimate of
percentiles for each discrete value.  After the program creates
the table, it gives the user a menu in which portions of the
table can be selected or in which the user can command the
program to create to create a column chart or a pie chart.  Read
the documentation, which can be viewed by selecting FREQ_ETC
docs. under the Data menu.

I'll be glad to email the sheet bacause it is no longer available
at SUMEX(?)

Word 5 ships standard with a Voice Annotation module. I'm currently

Do you have a dialin SLIP line? If so, I suspect you should be able to
use XGator on your Mac which I believe will provide an X client interface
for the Mac. This brings up an interesting question. Does an application
exists for SLIP dialin directly into a Mac exist? MacSLIP and VersaSLIP
will dial out, but how about the Mac becoming a SLIP server?

I received TaxCut a couple of days ago. Did some trial
runs on my anticipated taxes.  So far, I like it
better than MacInTax (which I used last year for the
first time; never used any tax prep software before
that).

However, I managed to crash the thing, and can
repeat the crash at will. Didn't lose any data though.

I think it still needs some work -- for instance, there
is a reference in one of the help windows to a Self vs.
Spouse checkbox at the top of form SE. But no such checkbox
exists. I couldn't get TaxCut to change the form to refer
to her rather than me. I had to create a new form SE.

It recalculates the whole tax return even when nothing
has been changed, under some circumstances. Like when you
ask for the summary of the return.  However, MacInTax didn't
have a summary that I can recall, and I really like having the
summary.

Not all features are implemented in the preview version, which
is what is available now.

Despite all this, I like it better than MacInTax. Cheaper,
too (I got the 19.95 intro offer, extra 10 or 15 for the preview
version).

Someone else recently had this same sort of problem, and I recommended
deBabelizer, a batch image conversion application.

The person responded back that it worked great, so you may want to look

One of our Business Units has been looking at DOS software to perform a
specific business function.  Being a Mac campus, we've investigated the
possibility of Mac software that performs the same function - there is
none.  So, we are now investigating the possibility of running the
software on a Mac using SoftAT.

I checked with the vendor and the software could run - the requirments
are 28mb of disk space, 640k - 1mb of RAM, and VGA or EGA video. 
However, the vendor has expressed reservations about our attempt to use
SoftAT.  They suggest a 386 or 486 DOS system and feel that the
Mac/SoftAT combination may not have the needed processing power.  At this
point, a trial run may not be possible - the vendor usually does an
install/training session when the software is delivered.  They don't seem
particularly eager to let us try the software.

If anyone has any comments about using a Mac running SoftAT for demanding
DOS applications, it would be a big help with this decision.  The office
in question has a IIsi installed, but we could go better than that within
reason if its necessary.

Since I have most of the parts lying about and have lots
of experience with 680x0 series micros I am making my own 
68030 board to plug into a Mac Plus.

I am doing this mostly as a fun project but also so that 
I don't get those annoying "Illegal instruction" errors 
and can run virtual memory. I hnow I can get a commercial
68030 accelerator for <$400 but that takes all the fun 
out of it.

I learned today that I can't run virtual memory on a Mac 
Plus because the ROMs don't have some essential toolbox
routines in them. I am told that I may be able to use
"Compact Virtual" from Connectrix which, I think, patches
the system to allow VM to work properly. I called 
Connectrix and they want $99 plus shipping etc but can't
guarantee that it will work with my home made board. 
I spoke with their technical support people and someone
suggested that maybe I could collaborate with a friend
who already has "Compact Virtual". Well it's a good idea
but I don't know anyone like that.

	So maybe someone reading this has upgraded to a
bigger and better Mac and has a copy they don't need any
more that they can let me use or will sell me the rights,
Whatever! If it works then I'll go back to Connectrix so
that I can get support, upgrades, manuals and all those 
goodies.

The whole point is that I am not sure if it will work.
The 68030 swap will almost certainly work but the VM part
has me worried. So if anyone can help me out please send
me an email.

Is anyone aware of a spreadsheet (or similar program) that would let me put
 names on columns with the text running vertically? I occasionally need a
spreadsheet with a large number of narrow columns, but each column needs a
fairly long (more than 1-2 letters) title. No package I have found yet lets
me turn the columns titles sideways...
