That's pretty silly, since Expert Color Paint sells for $27-29.95 mail order.

According to what I understand from Claris Product Marketing,
People who bought MacWrite II between April 1, 1991 and Jan 31, 1992, will
get a free upgrade to MW Pro.  (Except that if you bought MW II as part of
a multi-program package, then the cutoff is Oct 1991).  People who bought
MW II before April 1, 1991, or after Jan 1992, can get MW Pro for $69.  The
reason for the Feb 1, 1992 cutoff is that on Feb 1, 1992, the suggested list
price of MW II dropped from $250 to $129.

As I said, this is information I received from Claris product marketing, and
I may have misremembered some of the dates.  So, do not take this as gospel,
and it is most definitely not an official Claris announcement, even though I
work for Claris.

I have never tried to implement a screensaver on an AppleShare server,
and probably never will. Why not just turn the constrast on the screen
down while you are not using your server. That way you won't have to
worry about slowing it down, or having any software conflicts.

Probably not the answer your looking for, but only a suggestion.

Hi folks;

Can anyone recommend an easy-to-use mailing list package?  

My requirements are simple:

	- Easy to use (a new-to-Macs secretary will be using it)
	- Maintain a list of several hundred names/addresses
	- select by a few simple criteria
	- output in a format than can be used for print/merge with MS Word
	- print mailing labels on a Laserwriter II

Commercial, shareware, freeware are all ok.  An Excel template would be OK too.

Email comments, and I'll summarize for the net.

Thanks!

Actually I quite agree with you about grammar checkers, so I never
use one (not electronic, that is) I have found that unless you already
have a good working knowledge of grammar, checkers can really
confuse you. I always find it handy to have a paperback nearby, in
which I can browse at will. Which is not to say that checkers aren't
useful; catching typos such as 'the the' is a worthy function, but
then again, some word processors (like Nisus!:)) have macros that
search for doubles.

Subject: Word 5.0 footnotes overlay text! Feature or bug? $#@%$#&!
Organization: New York University
Distribution: global
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1992 18:03:10 GMT

I've used Word in its pre-5.0 versions to produce hundreds of documents, 
many with footnotes.  Things generally worked quite well.

But with Word 5.0, when composing in galley mode, using the double  column 
point and click option, I've uncovered a new Word feature!  The text is 
laid out in double columns, with NO space left at the bottom of the column 
for footnotes, and then the footnote text is laid out directly OVER 
however much text it takes at the bottom of the page to print the 
footnotes!  This result is the same when using page preview or when 
printing the page.

When I used Page View, the bug disappeared, but I'm concerned that this 
will come back to haunt me the day before a major paper, loaded with 
footnotes, is due for submission.  Has anyone else had experience with 
this or related problems?  Is staying in Page View a reliable workaround?

If you have a network that includes some Macs running System 6 and
some running System 7, it is very convenient to use Public Folder so
that the System 6 Macs have some file sharing access.

You normally write the document in a real word processor and then

The Miracle piano, while bieng MIDI, also has a serial port on it. The 
software controls the keyboard via this port, not the MIDI ports. So, the 
software would not work with a standard midi keyboard.

John,

>1) does the new DiskFit offer a more convenient way to exclude 
folders 
>   than the  old "brackets" [FolderName] technique?

Yes, DiskFit Pro in SmartSets allows you to use a "Folder Selection" 
to choose exactly which folders you want to back up. This is 
more flexible than the Exclude [Folders] option. 

>2) does this (exclusion methood) work for duplicate (image) 
backups? 

No, sorry. There are still no file or folder selection options 
for Duplicates. 

>3) does this (exclusion methood) work for incremental backups? 

Yes, the Folder Selection option is remember for incremental 
backups in a SmartSet. 

Additional features:

DiskFit Pro 1.0 knows all about System 7, does not back up this 
large VM file, backs up and restores custom icons, knows about 
aliases, and has two new features: the DiskFit Pro Reminder (lets 
you schedule Reminders to do SmartSet backups) and "Create SmartSet aliases..." 
(Optionally creates a folder of aliases if you run under 
System 7 which point to your files backed up in your SmartSet. This 
allows you to retrieve files by simply finding the alias on your 
hard disk, saying "Find original" and then inserting the SmartSet 
disk that is requested.).
