There is, at present, no .dl viewer available for Macintoshes. Furthermore,
the dltogl program which is supposed to convert .dl format to .gl format
(for which there is a Macintosh viewer) does not convert into a Mac-readable
format. One person has told me he is trying to write such a program, hence
you should keep reading the mac newsgroups to find out if this is
successful.

I will just add one small detail to this. . .  When you drag your original
System file out of the System Folder, don't leave it at the top level with
the name System.  I did this exercise VERY recently, and ended up in a panic.

Apparently If there is a System file at the top level, it is used during the
boot process, and then when none of the other files/folders cannot be found
the mac just hangs.  (at least that is what happened to me) Which sent me
into a panic because I then realized that I did not have any easy way to simply
boot my PowerBook from a floppy and move the thing.  Luckily I was able to
boot from my Norton Emergency disk and rename the file, and get going again.

Jan is referring to a bundle that ThoughtPattern is part of.  This is a
great deal.  You get the current version of ThoughtPattern and some
other very good software for a great price.  The only catch with
ThoughtPattern is that you don't get a free upgrade to version 2.0 if
you purchase it as part of the bundle.  If you buy it from Mac'sPlace
or directly from Bananafish, you can upgrade to 2.0 for free.

Bananafish has also extended their special internet offer for
ThoughtPattern.  Check the documentation that accompanies the demo or
call Bananafish directly at 415-929-8135 for details.

This isn't the first time I've heard of problems with this company. And I
sympathize totally with the person who got the shaft here.

But in the future, for those of us trying to read and make sense of what is
written, sit back and relax for a few minutes and at least proofread your
posting for readability. I had to re-read this post 3 times before I
understood who "Roger" was. I still don't know who Linda is.

Good luck getting your money back. Since you're out of the country, Second

	This is purely guesswork based on a lot of playing around with More
Disk Space, but I'd bet that More 3.1 and MacTools 2.0 have been compressed
with a product from Alysis called the Alysis Resource Compressor.  If this 
is so then More Disk Space ought to be able to decompress the whole thing. 
Alternately open up More Disk Space with ResEdit, copy any "dcmp" resources
you find there, and paste them into a copy of ResEdit itself.  In 
particular there should be one dcmp resource with ID# 14.  ResEdit will 
PROBABLY then be able to open up the resources in More and MacTools.

Summary: Comparison between Prograph and conventional Mac applic. programming
Keywords: THINK C, Object-Oriented, CASE tools, "industry-based"


  For those who are knowledgeable of Prograph v2.5 (i.e., purchased
  and/or  experimented  with the package), I'd like to ask you what
  you think of it.  In particular,

    * Does it have a steeper learning curve than conventional Mac
      application programming (say, using THINK C v5.0.2)?

    * Are the OO capabilities well designed?  Is graphical programming
      of this genre faster and better than other well-established
      CASE tools?  (Is Oracle a good comparison?)

    * Since both Prograph and THINK C are  sold  at  a  low  market
      price of approx. $199.00 (though I'm sure THINK  C  can  be  
      purchased at lower
      educational prices, but I need to check that out), which one
      would you suggest me to use in order to actually learn Mac
      application programming?  Let's say that my intentions are
      geared toward industry requisites (for instance, I've worked
      with X11R4, so that falls within "industry-based" application 
      production software).

  I don't expect a stampede of respondents, so you can
  go ahead and post your opinion/answers and I'll read
  your [public] postings.

  I appreciate your advices beforehand.

Contrary to the previous reports, Perusasion IS network compatible. It doesn't
take advantage of network-specific features, and licensing restrictions may
prevent it from being shared on a network by concurrentt users, but it is
compatible with the network as far as a file system goes.
The problem previously reported was that one couldn't subscribe to a document
on a CAPS servers. IF it works fine  on a AppleShare server, then perhaps hte
CAPS server is at fault. If not, then call Aldus Tech Support and tell them
it is too a bug!

I have had autodoubler on a variety of Macs in our office including Plus,
Se and LC.  I have had no problems or conflicts.  There are two
disadvantages.  First, the pluses are somewhat slow in decompressing files
on the fly.  The alternative for me however is to mount them on a file
server through a Gatorbox.  This gives slow a new meaning.

Second, When I boot from the Norton Speed Disk floppy, all of the
applications appear as documents.  This somewhat reduces the efficency
of speed disk which tries to put all applications before documents
withthe thought in mind that apps. don't change in size as often as
documents and fragmentation will be reduced.  Now it mixes apps together
with docs.  Not a killer.

I have had no problems with Disk Doctor analyzing the disk whether the
AD is installed or not..

The latest rev of AD is 1.07i.  The updater is avail at FTP sites.
Symantec has not notified me of its avail. Even though I registered.
Lucky for me I pay attention to these newsgroups.

Sorry for wasting everybody time.

Thanks for all those who replied to me.
Most people told me to ask the credit card company for help.
Unfortunately, please note the following:


1) CIBC Visa Center said that they are not going to help to settle this
   problem since it is not their jobs to do so.  I talked to the Manager
   and she told me this.  They told me to settle it down MYSELF.
   Perhaps Visa Center in the States do help to settle down this kind
   of problem.  I already pay that VISA bill since VISA Center said 
   if I don't pay them, then I am in trouble with VISA.


2) I have been corresponding with Better Business and they sent
   out letter on complaint to SECOND WAVE, TEXAS, Austin.
   However, that company seems not to give any respect in this case.
   They pas the two weeks due date set by Better Business in Texas
   and not give them any reply.  Thus, Better Business told me to get
   a lawyer.



My impression is that it was a set up by Second Wave. 

1) they told me that they had customers who tried it before and it works.
   (Radius said it does not)

2) they said I can get a refund of 10% off origional price.
   (The lied to me.  I think I should get FULL refund)

3) Thus, I returned the product to them. Now they keep both the product
   and the money.

4) If I want to talk to person A, they got me person B;
   If I want to talk to person B, they got me person C;
   they never allow me to talk to the President.

   I had a native English speaking friend called a long time ago for
   me (since they recognize my voice) to check if the Rocket is
   working for the expansion box.  They also refused to let him to talk to
   a technician since they asked him where he called from and my friend 
   said Waterloo.  Thus, they know he called in for me.

5) Roger said they sent me credit and a letter this morning (Friday).
   However, he told me the SAME thing on Monday that somebody already did that.
   Better Business asked me to tell them to FAX a copy of the letter to 
   me.  


   What is funny is that Mr. Roger said he does not want to spend any more
   money on me by Faxing!  I wonder how much it costs for a Fax?!

   He also keep blaming me that I caused them to lost money.
   I paid for UPS shipping, all the long distance calls, FAX myself.
   They tricked me to buy their product and  said I have to pay
   for the decision I made.

   Oh!!!  Perphas I have to pay for the WRONG decision Which I 
   believed in them.



   In conclusion, I think they want me to keep calling long distances
   all the time and give up myself eventually.



Any advice other than calling for help from credit card company is appreciated.


Maybe somebody out there please tell us what the best way is to buy things
through mail ordering companies and not get cheated.  I think a lot of us
want to know.

Thanks...

This is going to be very difficult, given the way our legal system works.
If you take them to court and win your suit, all you get is a claim which 
you then have to enforce.  If you were local, you could get the local 
marshall to march in with you and literally take the money from their 
cash registers.  But from Canada you can't do much.

If you get some governmental agency involved, they could in principle
fine the company, or even shut them down.  But that wouldn't get you your
money back either.  Only if the company gets enough pressure from the Feds
to agree to give you your money will you ever see a dime under these 
circumstances.
