Dowling had MS Office installed but one of the components was missing so it wouldn't run. Having that component wouldn't help you if you didn't already have MS Office installed. If someone is trying to get data to you, have them save it in a generic format. RTF or ASCII text for word processing documents and tab delimited text or SYLK for spreadsheets. If you don't have the option or are desperate to get the data, then your best bet is to cough up for a copy of Dataviz's MacLink Deluxe. It probably costs about =A385 if it's available there.

Dear Digest reader, I wandered into CompUSA today to their Mac section, and what did I find? http://www.masque.com has released a crossplatform CD for a PowerPC Mac called IGT slots. It requires 24MB of RAM, and a PowerPC Mac, and works wonderfully on my Powerbook G3/233 with no extra graphics card. If anyone else knows of good crossplatform CDs, please speak up...it is one of the great unspoken truths about the Mac is that so many games come in crossplatform CDs, and usually are only found if you look closely at the packaging.

They often contain unnecessary control characters, carriage returns, the wrong kind of quotation and apostrophe marks, and so forth. Manually reformatting these documents can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Add/Strip (A/S) has been designed to automatically perform much of the work of cleaning up TEXT files destined for import to page layout, word processing, database, or spreadsheet programs, as well as export from these programs to a PC or mainframe computer. All in a fraction of the time needed to manually reformat using a word processor. It can also batch-search-and-replace a folder of textfiles with up to 250 replacements, begin-of-file & end-of-file inclusions.

Do you use a remote access package (Timbuktu, ARA, ...) or do you use your Mac for receiving faxes ? Do you depend on your Mac being up and running all the time ? Unfortunately, Macintosh software is not always as reliable as we'd like it to be. Crashes and system freezes can frustrate you at best or make you lose a lot of business at worst. Have a look at AutoBoot. AutoBoot is a Control Panel that restarts your Macintosh when it crashes or freezes, ensuring that your server is always up and running. Many AutoBoot users can testify: AutoBoot is a real lifesaver. No Mac server should be without it !

The last tab (MultiSearch) combines all CodeWizard's conversion methods in one function, but it's easier to use specific methods if you need only one type of conversion, because then you can build a list of several conversions (for example Hex code to character).

Desktop Resetter is a simple program used to store (remember) the icon and window locations and sizes on the desktop. This information can be restored (reset) at a later time, should they change or move, etc. Desktop Resetter is an application only, it uses no extensions or control panels. This helps reduce the possibility of it conflicting with other programs. It only operates when you launch it and doesn't effect other applications other than the Finder itself (the desktop application). Requirements Any Power Mac or 68k Mac running Mac OS 7.6 or higher. This program is Mac OS 8.0, 8.6, and 9.0 savvy! Desktop Resetter works great with iMacs, Powerbooks and G4's. What's New in 2.2.1? € Fixes a problem on some machines (especially laptops with PCMCIA cards) where the desktop was never remembered. This problem was introduced with 2.2. € No need to re-register whenever a new update is downloaded from this point on. € An 'Extras' tab was added to the settings box. This lets you choose how Desktop Resetter remembers the icons on the desktop. It also allows you to turn the grid options of the desktop back on after a reset. Some users have problems with this (where the icons would go back), so it is now your option to have it on or not. What's New in 2.2? € Desktop Resetter now remembers icons and windows even if they have the same name, or if the name changes! Older versions didn't work properly if icons had identical names. € Fixed a bug in OS 9 where buttons wouldn't be reset. It should now reset icons and windows regardless of the configuration of the monitor. € The popup windows should work better with multiple monitors when resetting. € Added more menus to allow more control with Desktop Resetter, and now there are default buttons in the dialog for power users. € All new icon. If you are a veteran Desktop Resetter user, it may not show up until the next time you rebuild your desktop. ********** ABSTRACT CROPPED ********** [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/desktop-resetter-221.hqx; 601 K] ------------------------------ Date: 25 Mar 2000 From: Jude Giampaolo Subject: [*] Drive Monitor 4.0.0 (PPC) This is the README file for Drive Monitor 4.0.0 Drive Monitor is © 1996-2000 Jude Giampaolo.

The StuffCM package also includes a control panel with lots of settings to play with, plus the option to assign modifier keys to toggle those settings on the fly. And it's 100% Appearance Manager savvy! Plus it supports contextual menus - something many of Apple's own control panels don't! The History 2.6 - Rebuilt with StuffIt SDK 5.5 - Added the ability to zip and MacBinary-encode files (with StuffIt Engine 5.5) - Fixed the BinHex creator type field to actually allow input without beeping.

Specifically, it requires an up-to-date (2.5.1 or better) interpreter. This package includes HyperTADS 1.1.3, which is an HTML TADS interpreter for the Macintosh based on HTML TADS 2.5.1. It should be everything you need to play the game. If HyperTADS doesn't suit you, there are other TADS interpreters for the Macintosh. Check the TADS Page at http://www.tela.bc.ca/tela/tads/ for advice on how to obtain and install the right interpreter for your system. If you do not use HyperTADS, you should set your display to use a fixed-width font if you can. Otherwise, formatting will look odd in a few places. If Interactive Fiction is a new thing to you, or you just want to refresh your memory, you can get some general playing instructions within the game by typing INSTRUCTIONS.

What to do next? You could try to run the updater once more on your (obviously already updated) Eudora version. In fact, under the "Help" menu at the far right of your menu bar you should see some Eudora-specific items, starting with "About this release". Do you have your registration code which should have been created during the update process? I had no problem to update on a Powerbook G3/MacOS 8.6 and on a Quadra 650 PPC / MacOS 7.6.1.

Every time I start from a CD (such as the Mac OS 8.5 installer) and then reboot, my boot chord is reduced in volume. It's also this way if my main System gets hosed and I boot from one of the emergency partitions. But I remember a note about silencing a Powerbook boot chord back on the System 7 days; it required an earplug. I thought that since then the boot chime paid attention to the sound volume. It seems so from what I've experienced. +- Saint John | | "Nuclear weapons, if used correctly, can eradicate all life on +-- Earth."
