First Time Readers
How to Navigate WinOnLine™ Publications

The Windows Help system is used by our magazines. It's a convenient way to view Hypertext files like the WinOnLine magazine you are reading now. Before you read/load the magazine or now, "turn on your sound/speakers". Our magazines contain both sound and animations. Here are a few additional tips to make your reading more pleasurable and convenient:

The Help Button Bar at the top is arranged to help you move easily through the magazine:

The Contents button, when clicked, will return you to our Table of Contents

Search starts a dialog box with all the keywords that can refer to different sections and articles in the magazine. Try it and see.

History displays a listing of the places in the magazine you have been so you can return

Print Topic will send the article you are currently reading to the printer. It will not print "popup" boxes, though.

<<Page | Page>> can perhaps be the best way to view WinOnLine Publications. With these buttons you can browse through the magazine in page order, just as you would a paper magazine.

You may use the keyboard Page Up, Page Down and Up and Down Arrow keys to forward and backward in an article, or use mouse clicks on the vertical bar shown on the right.

Our Table of Contents has an icon above each article title. Clicking on that button sends you directly to that article just like clicking on the special button brought this message to you.

The automatic Pop-Ups throughout the issue can be cleared from view by a simple mouse click anywhere on the screen. You will find that some may have a special bit of text that, when clicked, will take you even further to another page, function or popup. Using the Back button will always return you to where you have been.

Certain bits of text may have a different color and an underline image. Those usually also indicate that clicking on them will cause something to happen. Certain graphics, such as the authors' at the close of each article, are keyed to a popup image such as information about the author. When you see your arrow cursor change to a hand, you are on such a spot. Click on this text (see the special color?) to see what happens.

We hope you will enjoy the WinOnLine publication. If you want to print this page as a reference, click on Print Topic on the button bar.

Now click Back on the button bar to resume reading where you left off.

WELCOME to the Monthly WOLRS

Did you wonder where we went last month after Issue 37? As we revealed last month, the WinOnLine Review™ Shareware Edition is now a monthly issued on the 15th instead of its thrice-monthly schedule. The new monthly contains aditional  Feature Reviews  from our Staff Writers that we hope you will find exciting and informative to read, in addition to a  larger Briefs  column. Let us know what you think of the newest WOLRS by dropping us a note at Windows OnLine by using one of the many methods outlined in the About the Shareware Edition section.

By the way, if you're not a fan of Wolly's little musical riff, you can stop it by pressing on the "NO MUSIC!!!" icon on the title bar (party-pooper). It also will stop when you page to the next or prior article.

AUTHORS' HAVEN

Shareware Author response has been great to our magazine over the last year, and more and more of you are uploading your latest releases direct to Windows OnLine's many voracious shareware consumers. Always concerned with hospitality, we have opened a special conference just for Authors and created a courtesy registration level for you at no charge. This allows longer access and a convenient one year term with renewal privileges for our less frequent visitors.

Authors, please leave a (C)omment to the Sysop directed to Bob Gollihur, Editor, with the pertinent information so your registration status can be upgraded. Feel free to leave messages in the Author's Haven Conference 2 (J 2) for our Staff Writers alerting them to the arrival of your program. Maybe one will yell "DIBS" and do a feature review on it! And then, there's always Wolly . . .

HEMINGWAY need not apply

Speaking of conferences, our Writers' Conference (J 4) is ready and waiting for new contributors to the magazine. Both freelance and staff writer positions are available. Were proud to present two feature articles from our new staff writer David Morgan this month. If you have an interest in writing for the WinOnLine Review and/or the Shareware Edition, please let us know. You need not be published nor a professional writer, just someone who can put keys to screen and tell of your experiences with commercial and/or shareware products. You can give us a call at 510-736-8343 and leave a message for Senior Staff Writer Ed Hoffman or Editor Bob Gollihur through the (C)omment to the Sysop feature. For additional methods to connect with Ed or Bob, please click on this highlighted text.. Consider downloading WOLWRIT2.ZIP from Conference 4. It contains our Writer's Guide and other useful information.

Enjoy the issue!


      SHAREWARE BRIEFS

VOICE CLOCK!

More informative than "tick . . . tick . . . tick"

Have you ever had the occasion to look up at the clock and realize that several hours had passed, you missed your favorite TV show, your kid's recital, forgot to go to work . . . Well, if that's the case it may be time to seek out Voice Clock, an audible reminder of the time that you can adjust. Options allow announcements each minute, every fifteen, thirty or on the hour only. Visual reminders in the form of a digital desktop clock or the time in the title bar are also available. Further options in the registered version add a female voice and alarms. VCLOCK.ZIP (139K) is a novel solution for the computer unconscious, and can be registered for $10.00.

ICON VUMASTER PRO

Better than ever

Here's an old favorite that has added some new features since Wolly last looked at it. Icon wrangling can be a real pain, but Icon VuMaster Pro continues to allow viewing of up to 99 icons at a time of up to 1100 in a single directory. Mouse clicks deliver a dialog box for quick deletions and renaming. Also handy is the ability to look within an EXE or DLL, although looking is all you can do with the feature. Squinting at those pesky little 32x32 creatures can be avoided by using the scaleable window option. Shortdog, Inc. will register ICONVMP3.ZIP (30K) for you for $10.00.

WIN CUR VOL. 2

Get the point(er)?

Grab this collection of freeware cursors. Each 5K .EXE file changes your cursor to a TV set, crosshair, magnifying glass, larger arrow, or other oddities. WINCUR2.ZIP (25K) is nothing fancy, but fun, free and functional.

click me

SMART FONT

Yes, Wolly's fonts are smart

When you are "in search of" the perfect font for that pesky project, you will probably like to have Smart Font as your able assistant. This handy font viewing window resides "on top" so you may easily browse through your font collection to pick out the ideal candidate for the job. If you have more than one contestant you can double click on any font in the resizable viewing area, and a separate exclusive font window appears with the contents of Windows Clipboard in the font you chose. Select a second font and a second box will appear, and so on, and so on. Compare the fonts, side by side, add characters to any of the boxes and all the viewing boxes are updated to show the same characters in their particular fonts! Wolly liked this since he could copy his text to the clipboard and see exactly what it would look like in the selected fonts. Click on the options menu and the clipboard text is replaced with a complete character set. SMTFNT11.ZIP (42K) is instantly intuitive and useful, and can be registered for $28.95.

SEEDEE PLAYER

Minimalist entertainment

Wolly likes to have a bit of music to accompany his hard work. No, he doesn't really care to catalog his collection, just play it. SEEDEE10.ZIP (26K) provides the recognizable buttons to skip tracks forward and backward, play, pause, stop and eject. You can iconize SeeDee Player and keep it on top in any condition if you so specify. No track numbers or such messy details to clutter up your enjoyment. Wolly knows Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major when he hears it, anyway. The program registration of $6.00 includes a disk with the latest version. And no, it's not seedy, just simple, sez Wolly.

PUNCH

Which way'd they go, boss?

Where, oh where, did that employee go? Punch could give you the answer if it's accessible to all your folks as they wander in and out throughout the day. Create and administrate lists of folks, including daily visitors. Drop down boxes allow your choice at a mouse click when you check in. Punching out gives those same convenient choices along with your list of destinations and choices of return times. PUNCH20.ZIP (83K) can be registered for $?????? (contact the author). The five user limited version described here is freeware. Now, Wolly hopes Ed won't punch him over this graphic, but I swear, that's where he told me he was going when I spoke with him last!

DLLMAN

Certainly does

Are your DLLs unmanageable? Seems like you can't even think about installing a program without having new demon DLLs inhabit your Windows and System subdirectories. Editing the accumulation is generally a guessing game, moving them to a place out of your path to see what gets broken. DLLMAN is a wonderful freeware utility that can solve many such mysteries. Open or drag and drop an EXE or DLL to DLLMAN and watch as it displays the DLLs required to run the file. Those required, but missing, are shown in red, and a search utility is provided to seek them out. DLLMAN.ZIP (73K)  is, as they say, the greatest thing since sliced bread, and Wolly thanks Barry Press for this super useful utility.

CAP CLOCK 3.0

With memory, too . . .

You'll find a lot of shareware and freeware around to keep you abreast of the time and those all-important memory and resource figures. Wolly has always felt that the best place for such info is within the otherwise wasted real estate of the window title bar. Apparently G. L. Liadis Software thinks so, too, since that's where CAPCLK30.ZIP (15K) places that data. Options allow you to update the clock on a sliding scale from one to ten seconds, and choose from displaying either the Time and Date or the Time, Memory and Resources. Registration for CapClock is $10.00.

TRUE TYPE FONTS

Assortment

  8PINM_TT.ZIP (34K)

  ANM-TT.ZIP (45K)

  CRN_PC.ZIP (157K)

  KENSGEO.ZIP (14K)

  PUBLIUS.ZIP (16K)

  RCPC3D.ZIP (13K)

  TOONZSCR.ZIP (34K)

Carrion also includes the Type 1 files. As always, read the enclosed files and abide by the shareware requests were applicable.

MINI DASHBOARD

I don't think it'll worry HP

The file names in this zip are Desktop, and the author would probably be wise to choose another name for his creation. Hewlett Packard will probably not be amused by the selection, but they certainly won't be shaking in their collective boots, either. Mini D---board is a simple button bar that allows quick access to programs. It's easy and uncomplicated to set up, with 'always on top' and other options. The first button is consumed as the entrance to the program's options menu so you are left with only five buttons, and they remain unlabeled. Your memory better be good. Wolly thinks that DASHBD10.ZIP (17K) could grow in the right direction, but it needs more development and features to be worth its $10.00 registration. And please, author, find a name that doesn't belong to somebody else.

FONT PRINT

If that's all you want . . .

For those who don't need all the fancy features of full fledged font finessers, find Font Print. It's simple to use and will deliver satisfactory printed output to document your collection. As you can deduce from the illustration, several options are available to customize your catalog. The only thing Wolly didn't like, besides having to fill out a registration form on the way in, was that a line was skipped after each printed line, expanding the size of his output. FPRNT17.ZIP (33K) is a reasonable $10.00.

CLOCKER

Automation

If you want the maximum use of your computer, it needs to be doing things for you even when you're not there to supervise. Clocker is an old favorite event-scheduler program that will make things happen while you're away or asleep, like backups, faxing or  file transfers while telephone rates are lower, turning on your remote software, and whatever else you need done. Clocker will pop up reminder messages and also functions as an alarm clock to nudge you to do those things for which you must be present. Network group scheduling is also a feature, and the interface is easy to understand and the documentation good. Seek out CLOCKR23.ZIP (112K) and automate your life. Registration is $24.95.

ROCKETS

10 . . 9 . . 8 . . 7 . . 6 . . 5 . . .

Here's a cute way to teach the interactive effects of thrust, drag and weight on a rocket to students and others. Those three factors can be easily adjusted through intuitive sliding bars for each of the three colored rockets. Then, the digital countdown begins and the race is on! Each rocket flies on the basis of your settings and then safely parachutes to earth. The winner is then declared! Adjustments to each rocket did not seem to make a large variance in performance, but teachers might find this interesting to demonstrate these principles. Registration for ROCKETS.ZIP (62K) varies from 50 to 220 French francs depending on individual or group licenses.

PENTA APPS

???

Wolly wasn't certain what to call this, since docs were absent. But it's a cute little multi-app, with a clock, a timer, alarm (that didn't make any noise) and a launch mechanism for your favorite programs. It's obviously intuitive, and when you settle your cursor on an area, informative windows tell you what a click will do. PENTA.ZIP (16K) looks and feels like it is probably version 1.0, but the little system could be very useful and may be registered for $5.00. Wolly looks forward to future development and other offerings from Penta I.

WIN SHOOTER

Bang-Bang!

Win Shooter takes you back to the simpler prehistoric day of arcade games, when the bad guys appeared, you shot, them, and they went away. No intrigue, no plots, no blood (except from the blister on your finger). With WINSHT15.ZIP (94K) you exercise your mouse eye-hand coordination to zap the bad guys. Don't worry, they don't shoot back, and you gain score as you hit them or lose points when you miss. Registration is a mere $5.52, which brings back a disk with the version with a few additional, but minor, options. Not for today's generation of game players.

GRAFFIX

Is it broken?

With Graffix active, your PrintScreen or Copy function causes the Graffix dialog box to appear (when in popup mode) to save your capture as a BMP, PCX or GIF file. Very convenient, but it will land within the program's directory unless you enter the complete path, complete with an inset graphic indicating you're playing with an unregistered copy. There's also the option to clear the clipboard and save the DDB and palette data structures, but that's just about it. A DOS version of the program, which can run concurrently with the Windows version for DOS captures, is also included. GRAFFX.ZIP (29K) seems pretty steep and lacking in goodies at $39.00 for the "Professional Edition" that apparently only removes the shareware notice in your capture; no further features are mentioned. Wolly suggests Andromeda Software give him a bit more or charge him a bit less.

WYN SAGE

A computer in the hand is worth . . .

Wisdom from your computer? Wolly's usually just gives him aggravation. Wyn Sage, however, can season your computer with a quote of the day. Pick from a red, blue or black and make slight other cosmetic appearance changes, but otherwise just read and ponder. WWYNSAG.ZIP (32K) can be registered for $12.00, returning a disk with a quote a day for a year. This distribution version only provides for a month of sagacity.

WIN VIEW

Clarify your view

Wolly liked this file viewer and launcher that can quickly show all your files that match a given file specification. Directories do not get in the way, so it is very useful for detecting duplicates of files in different directories (or drives), and cleaning up a redundant files. But that's not its only use. You can copy selections to the clipboard, launch your findings, and change your specifications for instant results. Win View logs your drive, and rather quickly, so it doesn't do a separate drive search each time. WNVIEW11.ZIP (27K) also allows hex viewing and the selection of an editor to open, view and alter files. Registration is £10.

PROG SLOT

Progress?

Wager one or three coins and watch the three reels spin. Register PRGSLT11.ZIP (23K) for $15.00 and watch four reels spin. The pot grows progressively as you play, and statistics are available to show you where your money went. Source code will be included with the registered version on request.

WIN DALEK

Lose user

Wolly is an old Dr. Who fan, so when he saw WINDALEK.ZIP (498K) he suffered the long download and anticipated the wondrous game that must lie within such a large file. A big fat VBRUN200.DLL was one of the rewards. The other was disappointment. Win Dalek is a poor shot at an arcade game of sorts, where multiple Daleks stiltingly chase the Doctor repeating their mantra, "Exterminate!" Meanwhile, you escape their clutches by using your Sonic Screwdriver three times to jam their sensors or take the Tardis for a spin to an indeterminate location. Often you will land adjacent to a violent Dalek waiting to send you to the grave. Wolly's description is better than the game, and at $25.00 for registration, he may consider sending a Dalek to discuss it the author.

       WINDOWS COMMANDER

a review by David Morgan

Windows Commander is a powerful, fast, easy-to-use replacement for the Windows 3.1 File Manager. It supports file associations, drag and drop file manipulation and can act as an archive "shell" for viewing and acting on compressed files. Windows Commander emulates the Norton Commander and is written in Turbo Pascal for Windows.

A Button Bar is used to perform routine file maintenance. There are buttons to view, edit, copy, rename/move and delete files as well as create new directories. If you want to copy a file, you simply select one, press the "copy" button and enter the new file name. File selection is accomplished using either the keyboard or mouse much the same way as in File Manager.

View and Edit buttons can be configured to use your favorite file browser and editor. Windows Commander comes with a built-in viewer that shows files in hex, binary or text format using either the ASCII-(DOS) or the ANSI-(Windows) character set. It can also be used to view files contained within archives files. According to the author this viewer will work on files of ANY SIZE. I tested the viewer using a Windows OnLine file directory list which was over 8 MEGS. The file was loaded almost immediately. The viewer is that FAST!

Windows Commander has a built-in function which handles Archive Files in a unique way. It treats an archive file as if it were a separate directory on your hard drive. By double-clicking on an archive file, you immediately see the files contained within it just as you would the files in any directory. You can then easily view or copy files to and from the archive (the appropriate packer is automatically called). Windows Commander supports PKZIP, ARJ and LHA compression formats. External unzipping can be configured to work with files exceeding a certain size.

The Start-Menu  is a user-defined menu enabling quick access to both DOS and Windows applications. You can also use this option to pass a selected file to an application listed in the menu.

The Command Line allows running Windows and DOS programs with parameters including DOS "pipe" commands. For example, to print quickly an alphabetical directory list, just click on the Command Line, type DIR | SORT > PRN and press enter. The command is immediately executed. You can also perform operations on files selected within one of the directory windows. For example, if you select a file, enter "list" on the command line and press CTRL+ENTER, List will open with the selected file. Another helpful feature is that these commands are "remembered" for later access via a pick list. This is Doskey without the DOS!

MENU COMMANDS

Commands not handled with the Button Bar are accessed via the Command Menu. Here's a list of those commands.

Search- Search for a file, group of files OR TEXT on one or across multiple drives.

Change Attributes- Change file attributes.

Pack- Archive function which allows user to compress selected files using PKZIP, ARJ or LHA. Menu selection allows the option of packing files with path names.

Associate With- Associate file extensions with a program.

Calculate Occupied- Shows the space occupied by the marked files or complete subdirectories. File Space size is rounded to cluster size to get the "real" space occupied.

Print- Prints selected file only if it is associated with a printing program.

Volume Label- Set or change volume label of selected drive or disk.

Run DOS- "Exit" to DOS prompt.

Select Group- Select groups of files. For example, enter "*.txt" to highlight select only files with the .txt extension or "a*.*" to select only files beginning with the letter "a".

Unselect Group- Unselect groups of files in the same manner as Select Group.

Select All- Select all files in a directory.

Unselect All- Unselect all files in a directory.

Reverse Selection- Unselect selected or select unselected files in a directory. (Did you get that?)

Source-Target- Switch the contents of the left and right file Windows keeping settings like sort order.

Target-Source- Change the target path to the current source path.

Compare Directories- Compare the contents of the source and target directory. Files which are different are marked red. Files missing in one directory are selected in the other. Very nice!

Reread Source- Source window is reread. This is similar to the "refresh" function of File Manager. This is used after a floppy disk change to update the contents of the window. The "refresh" of your hard drives is automatic and FAST.

Note that there is no option to disengage this automatic refreshing, similar to the "FileSysChange=off" setting in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file. However, because the refresh is fast, it isn't needed.

Configuration- Set file viewer and editor, packer, font, colors, three-dimensional look and save window position.

Windows Commander is a welcome replacement for the Windows File Manager. It's well thought out, easy to use and handles normal file management tasks FASTER than File Manager. I am particularly impressed with this programs's speed - speed of directory "refreshes", file viewing with the internal viewer (even with comressed files) and archive handling. So, if you're ready to toss File Manager out the window, try Windows Commander. Members of  Windows OnLine can find the program as WCM12E.ZIP.

Windows Commander

WordBook Review
      WORDBOOK

a review by Ed Hoffman

Anyone who has ever used Word for Windows 2.0 knows that this is a very powerful word processor. But, like even the best things in life, Word for Windows 2.0 is not without its problems or shortcomings. To resolve most of these seeming imperfections the user's only option is to learn the way this program wishes to do the task. This may not seem to be too big a task, but when you use several different programs, keeping everything straight can be more trouble than it's worth. Soon after I began using Word for Windows 2.0 for some of my word processing tasks, I found one of these disturbing little annoyances.

I don't know, maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I've come to expect certain things from the software I run and when I'm forced to do something in a different way, I start looking for alternatives. One of Word for Windows little quirks that I've found to be irritating is the way addresses are handled. While I understand that the glossary feature can be used to store names and addresses for letters or similar correspondence, I've found using this feature less than convenient. So, to keep my names and addresses straight, I went looking for an alternative.

I'm happy to report that I've found what I believe to be one of the best little address book programs available for Word for Windows. If you ever write letters and find it a pain to add the name and address information, this program may be just what you need.

WordBook 1.6 is an Address and Phone Book Manager designed to run with Word for Windows 2.0 under Windows 3.1. As with many of the programs I find the most useful, this program does one thing  and does that one thing very well. In the case of the WordBook 1.6 program, the one thing that it does better than anything I've yet seen, is adding names, addresses, and phone numbers to your Word for Windows documents. The program comes as a *.DOC file and will automatically install itself  when you double click the install button. The program also adds itself to your Tools menu, so its easy to find. Another nice feature of this install routine is the test run option. So you can test the program first, before actually installing it, just to make sure you like what you see.

To setup your database of addresses you can either type the information in the data entry screen of the WordBook 1.6 program, or if you already have a comma delimited file with this information, these names and addresses and phone numbers can be imported. This information is retained in a spearate *.BOK file. This makes any editing you want to do very easy. The program allows you to sort the information in whatever field you wish so you can sort your listing by first name, last name, company, or virtually anything you might desire. The program allows you to maintain multiple address books so you can easily have individual address books for business, personal, computer related, or anything else you might require.

To use the WordBook 1.6 program, once your names and addresses are entered, you simply go to the Tools menu and select the Word Book option. Or, if you normally use the keyboard, the program can be launched with the CTRL+SHIFT+A keystroke combination.

So, if you write letters and need a better way of entering names and addresses, you might want to check out the WordBook 1.6 program. You'll not be disappointed. Members of Windows OnLine can find  the WordBook 1.6 program as WBOOK16.ZIP.

WordBook 1.6  (Registration fee: $10.00 )

       ORATOR

a review by Ed Rasimus

I'm a Windows person. No doubt about it. I hate DOS. I know that sometimes DOS is faster, and sometimes it is more efficient, and sometimes it has more convenient utilities to do a particular task. But my initiation into the computer generation was through Macintosh and Windows. I like the idea of dragging and dropping, pointing and clicking, multi-tasking, and just generally having what I need at my fingertips and not in some esoteric path, command line and assorted switches scribbled in illogical syntax on a note pad next to my PC.

Maybe that is why I was never very comfortable with offline readers. I've tried a couple and found them much less than user-friendly. By the time I configured them with path statements to my upload, download, ZIP, ARC, LHZ, tagline, and editor directories I was confused and befuddled. The fact that I couldn't "browse" my directory tree and click on the applicable .EXE files was just part of the problem. When I actually succeeded in downloading a mail packet, I was then faced with an unfamiliar DOS based text editor which was packed with CTR, ALT and F-key commands to do what had always been simple in Windows. Been there, tried that, got the T-shirt, DIDN'T LIKE THAT.

Enter Orator. Now here is a user-friendly, GUI based off-line reader for DOS haters like me. This is messaging as it was meant to be. Quick, efficient, intuitive. Orator installs from a temporary directory, creating its own directory and uncompressing its operating files. Configuration is a snap. If you don't wish to accept the default message and reply directories, you can assign your comm program download and upload subdirectories for message handling. Just enter the location of your compression utility files to unzip your .QWK packets, and you are in business. If you have a third party spell checker, enter it. If you want to use a snappy signature file, go ahead and insert it. Now you are ready to go BBSing. (Why does that acronym always make me think of General Schwartzkopf and his oft-quoted reference to "bovine scatology"?)

When launched Orator presents a small window with four menu choices. Selecting FILE allows you to select from .QWK packets in your download directory. The program shells to DOS to uncompress the messages for viewing. In the WINDOW menu you choose whether to examine messages, bulletins, replies or other categories. Messages are then presented for review and reply in a straightforward Windows presentation. Message selection, conference changing and page up/down are easily accomplished by pushbuttons. If you find a message meriting response, merely click the "reply" button and go to work with standard Windows cut and paste, text selection, drag and drop tools. This is nice!

Orator Message viewing screen

Quote, add taglines, steal other folks tags for future use, designate a note as private, or redirect messages all with a push of a button. When you are through with a message packet, you can save all or part of it. Click on the "write" button and you can write part or all of a message to a file of your choice. You can establish folders for grouping of messages on a particular topic; you can choose to read messages sequentially or by following a subject thread; you can view and select particular messages from a conference. After you have completed your replies, you may review your packet prior to uploading it and have the opportunity to edit it.

Orator Write Window for Files

In addition to the basic function of message reading and reply processing, Orator  allows you to establish "databases" of Fidonet and E-Mail addresses for your regular use. It also allows to program your preferences for Qmail doors and then change your configuration with your reply packet, modifying conferences and other parameters while offline.

       WIZMANAGER

a review by Ed Hoffman

Anyone who has followed the evolution of Windows knows that there have been many dramatic changes to this program over the years. While the most obvious major departure occurred between versions 2.X and 3.X, the differences between 3.0 and 3.1 are still nevertheless quite substantial. Substantial, that is unless you consider File Manager. The File Manager has remained relatively unchanged. I used to think there really wasn't too much that Microsoft could do to spruce up this program. However, after using this program for quite a while I began longing for more features to make managing my files just a bit easier.

This is when I first found the File Manager add-on called WizManager. This program is one of the most useful additions to Windows I've yet seen. In an earlier review of this program I pointed out several of its unique features. Now, the folks at Mijenix have taken a very good program and made it considerably better. So, WizManager 1.5 wins the Works For Me award for this issue. So, if you, like me have lamented the shortcomings of the File Manager program, take heart, the answer to many of these deficiencies is here.

The most obvious and immediate difference you'll notice when loading File Manager with WizManager is the addition of a button bar at the top of the screen, below the File Manger menu bar. This is the Fast Access Buttonbar. This button bar shows the assortment of file management commands and options as a series of icons. This feature alone has saved me an untold amount of fumbling through the File Manager menus to find a command. This Fast Access Buttonbar  is fully customizable and you can select the specific button you use most often as well as their place on the bar. One other new feature with these buttons is drag and drop. To delete files, for example, simply drag the appropriate file icon to the button bar and drop it on the DELETE icon and puff it's gone!. And the other functions are just as simple.

The program comes with 46 different command buttons (50 if you are running Windows for WorkGroups 3.1 or 3.11). The specific number of buttons that are visible at one time depends on your screen. But, the bar scrolls to allow you to see all the buttons by simply clicking on the left/right arrows at the beginning of the button bar. Another very nice feature of this button bar is that you don't need to remember what all the pictures mean. Simply place your cursor on the icon and the name of the command or option appears directly below the icon. A very nice feature for me since I have a VERY short memory.

To the left of the Fast Access Buttonbar  is another box. This box is the Command Line Box. This area gives you rapid access to the DOS command line. No more leaving windows to perform a DOS command such as DELETE or COPY. I doubt many users who are new to the world of computers will fully utilize this feature, but it is nice to have for those that want to use this option.

In addition to the button bar, you'll notice a couple of changes to your menu bar as well. Here the program adds a WizManager option to the File Manager menu bar. This offers quick access to all the WizManager  features and options as well as a useful method to access other Windows applications and other system functions. The Launch option, for example provide you with a customizable listing of the programs you use most often. A simple click will launch each program you have listed. You can also use this menu to open your Control Panel, change the printer, or even exit Windows, restart Windows, or reboot the complete system. There are even options to print a directory or a tree. Here you have the option to print to a file or to your printer, just in case you'd like a paper copy. The preferences option allows you to preset several system options and you can also add a password to limit access to your data.

The WizManager program also makes a couple of changes in the Window menu on the menu bar. Here four new commands are added:  Tile Horizontally, Tile Vertically, Minimize, and Restore. The tiling commands allow you to setup the way File Manger displays the directories, without having to remember "was it Shift-click or Control-click". Selecting the Minimize option will minimize all the directory windows to icons. And the Restore option returns all minimized directory windows to their previous size and position.

The WizManager program is very well documented and the User's Guide furnished with the program is also well done and easy to understand. The Online help is also very useful and easy to follow. While the WizManager  program may not solve all your file management problems, it will, at least, make working with File Manager much simpler. Though I've already got the program on my system, this is one upgrade that I didn't waste anytime installing. So, whether you've used the program before, or are thinking about it for the first time, WizManager is definitely a program you should check out. Members of Windows OnLine can find WizManager as WIZMGR15.ZIP.

       WHISKERS

a review by Steven Jay Cohen

Whiskers is back!!! For those of you that don't remember, or didn't happen to be participants in the world of Shareware at the time, let me explain. A couple of years ago, back in the ancient days of Windows 3.0, Whiskers was one of the hottest, most popular pieces of Shareware to be found. It was so popular, in fact, that a deal was struck for this wonderfully utilitarian software to go - (dare I say it?) -  commercial.

The Shareware version, current at the time, remained in circulation to maximize exposure, but all new development efforts were poured into the commercial version. Optimism abounded, but alas, the new publisher's marketing strategy proved too circuitous to deliver the message to its ultimate target - the end user. The momentum evaporated, and the software slipped into near obscurity for a time. But a viable idea and a tenacious author would not be daunted. After wrestling with some "legalese" for a bit, control of Whiskers is, once again, back in the hands of its creator, and we are the beneficiaries. A brand new version, of what is probably the best mouse-associated utility for Windows, has recently been released!

So what, exactly, is Whiskers? The idea for Whiskers was born in a time when the Windows standard made use of only the left mouse button. Then, as now, a click of the left mouse button was designed to bring an application's focus to bear at the location of the cursor. The middle button, (for those of us lucky enough to have a three-button mouse), and the right button made nice clicking noises, but that was the extent of their use. Though many pondered the possibilities, very few rose to the challenge. Excepting the occasional flash in the pan, the other buttons were left abandoned and impotent.

Enter Whiskers. Thank goodness that someone, namely Jan Renfroe of Numbers and Co., finally decided to put some serious, knowledgeable effort  into liberating the potential of the other buttons. Whiskers for Shareware permits the user to easily program the buttons of the mouse and the keys of the keyboard to operate in virtually any desirable way. You may, for example, set up the right mouse button to be the [image] key. Just think of all the times, while working in Windows, that you've been compelled to click on the "OK" or "Yes" button of a dialog box, or to press the [image] key, which is the keyboard equivalent. Voila´!! Henceforth, whenever you have need of the [image] key, all you have to do is click the right mouse button. What could be easier?

To configure your mouse buttons with Whiskers, you set Mouse Traps. You may create special Application MouseTraps that simplify your work by making the mouse buttons execute the commands you use most often, like Copy, Cut, and Paste. Whiskers will even allow you to use one mouse button to do the left-double-click sequence, saving time and strain on your wrist and fingers. Teaching your old mouse buttons new tricks is very easy. Just take your mouse to college!

When you first open the Whiskers College dialog, it appears as you see it pictured here. The display shows the middle button's default configuration of the first four shift combinations. Of course, these may easily be changed. The list box beneath the "Button To Program" heading contains all possible mouse button combinations plus all of the standard keyboard keys, with one exception: The <Print Screen> key is unavailable because Windows does not allow any other program to take over its control.

If you have a two button mouse, only one chord is possible (L+R), and it is used to simulate the action of the middle mouse button. The drop-down action list boxes on the right each present 266 predefined choices, which include all common menu commands, such as File|Open, Save, Save As, etc., all of the drag 'n drop mouse actions, the entire standard keyboard, and even a few you've probably never thought about - an impressive selection!

Pressing two or three mouse buttons at the same time is called "chording". You can use chords, or individual mouse buttons and keyboard keys, in combination with the [image] , [image] , and [image] keys, to simulate other keystrokes or execute other commands. You can assign any of the over 90 Extended ANSI characters to any button, key, or shift combination. In fact, if it suits your purpose, Whiskers will even let you redefine the entire keyboard! All definitions and combinations can be set up differently for each Windows application you use.

  	Anyone who has ever used a mouse knows how difficult it can be to hold the mouse absolutely still while double clicking, or while trying to click two or three mouse buttons at exactly the same time. The mouse is bound to make some small movement (Travel). When you execute a chord, Whiskers waits a small amount of time after you press the first button to see if you are going to press another button. If you do press a second and/or third button within a set time (the Delay Time), the combination is interpreted as a chord. If not, the mouse clicks are processed in sequence. Anticipating individual differences, Whiskers provides the Options dialog box, permitting you to easily customize the response sensitivity of your mouse with sliding bars.

  It is important to point out that the utility of Whiskers has more depth than may be apparent at first glance. One of the most important principles embodied by the Windows GUI (Graphical User Interface) is consistency. The repetition of basic form and presentation in all good Windows programs is no accident. The familiarity engendered by this conformity, by design, speeds the learning curve, resulting in greater individual productivity. Because the basics are the same from one program to the next, a user is easily able to find his or her way around when introduced to a new application. This enhances the ability to explore new features with a high degree of confidence.

Whiskers makes a significant, tangible contribution to this philosophy by allowing users to establish their own customized, consistent actions from one program to the next. While it is true that the shareware version works extremely well, believe it or not, there is a way to make it even better! The full potential of this program can be realized with an inexpensive upgrade from Whiskers for Shareware to the "commercial" version, Whiskers for Windows 2.0. It adds three major features which are accessed by radio buttons in a slightly redesigned College dialog box.

 	These added capabilities permit the user to create popup menus, program launchers and user defined macros. As each one is created, it is automatically inserted as a menu item in the drop-down action list boxes. In turn, these items can be assigned to any button, key, or combination in exactly the same fashion as described above. Whiskers 2.0 also provides a three button Windows mouse driver that will work with most three button mice. This driver activates the middle button so that it can be accessed by Windows and Whiskers (some mouse manufacturers do not provide a Windows three button driver with their three button mice).

Whiskers sets up quickly, is easy to configure, and you will enjoy immediate benefits from its use. To give it a fair evaluation, I would suggest working with it continuously over the course of at least a couple of weeks. In this way, as you identify your own repetitive tasks, you can assign them to various combinations on an ongoing basis.

I'm sure you'll find, as I have, that Whiskers is an incredible time and step saver. As an example, even with the aid of a couple of special utilities, it used to require no fewer than 21 separate mouse actions, including 6 double clicks, for me to accomplish a change in color scheme and video resolution. Due to the nature of my work, this is an operation I perform many times every day. Whiskers slices that down to merely 11 steps. Multiply that savings many times over, and it's easy to see that a great deal more can be accomplished in a given amount of time.

Whiskers is back and better than ever. Perhaps the best way to sum it up is to borrow a line from an old television commercial: "Try it. You'll like it!"

       CLEANUP

a review by Ed Hoffman

The one disadvantage to having a large hard drive is the outrageous amount of stuff you can accumulate. I like to think of myself as a person that doesn't like to waste anything, but when it comes to my hard drive I think I've gone overboard. A recent quick check of my system revealed that I had 4 copies of VBRUN300.DLL and another 3 copies of VBRUN200.DLL. As you might guess, I don't need the extra copies of these files, so I sent them to the "bit bucket". Since a very large amount of software goes through my system every month, I've found that I've accumulated a bunch of files that I don't really need. Most are hold-overs from programs I've discarded long ago, but some are truly my fault. It seems I have a habit of copying files from one project to another, just to get data. Then when I no longer need the copied file, I forget to erase it. So it just stays there taking up disk space. So I dig out my trusty copy of CleanUp and scour my system for all these unnecessary and unwanted files. Then it's off to oblivion for these pesky duplicates.

The newest version of this program is CleanUp 2.01. Like the earlier rendition, this version makes short work of an otherwise time consuming task. The program can whiz through my whole system, 330Mb, in less than 30 seconds. This new version, in addition to having a spruced up look, now offers a variety of additional options to help make file management both simpler and more logical.

Once you survey your complete system with the SCAN option, you can go through the listed files and tag each duplicate file with a mouse click. Or, to simplify matters, the TAG option on the menu bar gives you the option to have the CleanUp program do some of the work for you. The tagging options allows you to have the program tag ALL files, only SMALLER files, all OLDER files, BACKUP files with a BAK extension, all TEMPORARY files, files with a specific EXTENSION, any files having a 0 LENGTH or LENGTH n (specific length files), or only those files in a specified DIRECTORY.

One really nice addition to the program is the ACTION item added to menu bar. Unlike similar programs, as well as the older version of this program, that only give you the option to delete duplicate files, this option allows you several alternative ways to handle the duplicate files you find on your system.

The first option is DELETE and is by far the most drastic. As you might expect, the DELETE option erases all tagged files from your system.

The next option, STORE, gives you the opportunity to send all tagged files to another drive or directory. When selected, a dialog box pops up to allow you to choose the new destination for the tagged files. I like this option, because it can save me from myself. Too often I've erased files I thought were useless, only to find a day or so later that I needed them again. This option allows you to collect all your duplicates and send them to a another location so there out of the way, but not gone forever. Personally, I like keeping my duplicates on a floppy for a while, before sending them off to oblivion.

The next choice is BATCH. When this is selected, a dialog box appears to allow you to create a file containing a line for each tagged file, with a prefix, suffix, spaces around the name and other options. This file can be processed immediately or saved for future use.

The last option is PRINT. Here again, when this menu item is selected a dialog box appears with a variety of options. You can print only the current view, only the duplicates, or all the files. When printed, the listing has all the information shown on the screen, but only prints in black and white. Duplicate files are shown with a box drawn around each group. You can even select a printer to use from this dialog box.

If you desire, the CleanUp program will also prepare and display a graph of  the distribution and size relationships of the directories on your specified hard drive. This option is found in the VIEW menu. Here you can specify the data to be shown as a 3D bar graph, a pie chart, horizontal bars, or vertical bars.

ONE NOTE OF CAUTION. If the program is set to DELETE files, you should make sure the files you remove are really those you wish to erase. Across the bottom of the program window is a listing of the total files, duplicate files, number of tagged files, and tagged bytes. Always check this information to make certain the number of tagged files and the size of the files correspond to the files your really wish to delete. Reading these helpful screen messages could very well help to prevent you from erasing more than what you really intended.

CleanUp is a program for maintaining a clean and well organized hard drive that you should definitely consider adding to your system. The program supports all types of hard disks including network drives. CleanUp  is well documented and has a good online help system. With the CleanUp program, the task of purging your hard drive is not only easier, but much safer. Members of Windows OnLine can find CleanUp 2.01 as CLW201.ZIP in Directory #500 - (Windows-New Uploads).

       TEXT MANAGER

a review by David Morgan

Windows Notepad has its problems. One of the most obvious is the inability to select different fonts for displaying and printing your text files. Another is the inability to work on more than one file at a time without spawning another occurrence of the program. If you've ever wanted more control of how your text files are displayed and printed, then Text Manager just might be the program for you.

Text Manager is first and foremost a text editor. It lets you open and work on several documents at the same time and mimics the Windows Program Manager in the way it handles those documents. It treats each open document like a Program Manager group occupying a window that you can cascade, tile horizontally, tile vertically or minimize into an icon. Text Manager looks and feels like the popular Windows word processors.

You perform most of the editing and viewing functions by using a Button Bar.

This makes cutting and pasting quick and easy. A status bar displays help on all

of the menu functions. As you highlight one of the menu commands, a dialog

within the status bar tells you what that command will do. Another nice feature is

that previously opened files are listed on the file menu for quick access.

FONT CONTROL

Unlike Notepad, Text Manager lets you select both screen and printer fonts. You can use any True Type or the usual Windows fonts to display a different font for each open document. There is a "Mirror Display Font" menu option that toggles on or off whether you want to use the screen font as the printer font. This is a nice feature, as are most WYSIWYGs, but I was unable to set the toggle off.

PAGE SETUP

For printing text, Text Manager lets you set top, bottom and side margins as well as create headers and footers. There are quite a few header and footer command options. You can use combinations of 24 different choices to format filename, page number, time and date on your document. Also, you can specify the file date or the printing date. Here are just a few of the commands.

%A	Full weekday name

%b	Abbreviated month name

%H	Hour in 24-hour format (00-23)

%j	Day of the year as a decimal number (001-366)

%p	Current locale's AM/PM indicator for a 12-hour clock

%U	Week of the year as a decimal number, with Sunday as the first day of the week (00-51)

%X	Time representation for current locale

%Y	Year with the century as a decimal number

%Z	Time zone name or abbreviation; no characters if time zone is unknown

PRINT PREVIEW

The Print Preview function is the most impressive feature of Text Manager. You can see how your document will appear on paper before you print it by viewing one page at a time or two pages side-by-side. You can "zoom" in or out of the text on any page. If you like what you see, you can print it. This feature is found in some of the more expensive word processors.

This is the first Windows text editor I have seen with this print preview feature. Even if you use another editor and have no intention of switching, you can use Text Manager to see how your files will look before you print them. Given the relative awkwardness of printing text from Windows, this feature alone makes Text Manager a smart addition to any system.

SIMILARITIES TO NOTEPAD

Here are some of the more noteworthy similarities between Notepad and Text Manager. Most of the keystrokes are the same. For example, CTRL+Z will undo your last edit in both programs. You can place the time and date into the text of your document with the F5 keystroke. There is a word wrap function. Also, you can associate a *.txt or other file. When double-clicked, it is opened in Text Manager.

Another similarity is the major drawback to Text Manager. It's the infamous file size limitation. We've all been frustrated at times with the "File is Too Large for Notepad" message. Notepad just will not work on files larger than around 50k. Unfortunately, a smaller file size limitation of around 43k exists in Text Manager. Be warned because this limitation is not documented or mentioned in the help file.

Another shortcoming in this product is that it does not recognize the ".LOG" command within a Notepad document. This is the command that automatically inserts the time and date stamp into your document when opened. I have always liked this Notepad feature and use it quite a bit. If I open one of these log files with Text Manager, the time and date are not automatically inserted.

WRAP UP

On the whole, Text Manager is a useful text editing and management program. It looks and feels like the popular and more expensive Windows word processors. Most notable is the Print Preview function that lets you see how your  documents will look before you print them. If you can live with the file size limitation of 43k, this program just might be the Notepad substitute you've been looking for. Windows OnLine members can find Text Manager v2.1 in the New Windows Files Directory #500 as TEXTMN.ZIP. Enjoy!

       ALMANAC

a review by Randy Wong

The Ultimate Calendar for Windows

In this age of ultra-computerization do you still have a wall calendar hanging near your desk?  Of course you do. The closest thing I have found to eliminate that wall calendar and more is Almanac for Windows. Almanac imitates that traditional wall calendar display. When in that mode, the whole month can be seen in a glance, making planning easier. The calendar defaults to the Gregorian system, which is normal to some people, with the Jewish calendar as an option. For those people who are not sure which system they want, you can select the Gregorian and Jewish mixed option. For all you moon watchers the various moon phases are shown. One especially nice feature of Almanac is that you could post your year, month, or day calendar as your Windows wallpaper.

With Almanac, you can do more than just display a picture of the year, month or day. You can add overlay files, which may include holidays, birthdays, etc. Included with Almanac, you get several overlay files that you can include in your personal calendar. They are US, German, Jewish, French, Japanese, Canadian and Christian holidays. My choices were US and Christian holidays. For some odd reason, the dates, titles and text defaulted to MS San Serif and was not easily read. A simple change in the Options Fonts section, I could customize the text fonts that appear on the menus, the calendar displays and the printouts. Other tools include the Scheduler, ToDo list, Notes, and Phonebook.

The Phonebook tool is used to tracks phone numbers and addresses. With a Hayes compatible modem, you can easily dial phone numbers. Using this Phonebook as your database, you can also copy pre-formatted addresses to the clipboard. The Phonebook is displayed by category. Other features include searching by name of individual or organization.

From the Day calendar, you get to attack your daily activities. If you have the Julian date option on, a Julian date will display along with the days remaining in the year. Lists of what is happening today and things that have been done are shown. The To-Do list is also displayed as a gentle reminder of what needs to be done. The time for sunrise and sunset is calculated for your area and displayed along with phase of the moon and when the full moon is due. Not only can you print out a yearly or monthly calendar, Almanac has several customized daily reminder printouts for popular formats when printing from the day calendar view. On either Letter or A4 size paper, you could print a full-page portrait, a half-page landscape, one day per page, or a half-page landscape with two days per page.

To serve a more international market Almanac supports languages other than English. If you have installed Windows in another language, such as French, German, or Spanish, Almanacs SETUP will ask if you would like to install the appropriate language information. Once installed, Almanac will be looking for the ALMSTR.TXT file. This file contains the foreign language equivalents for specific text that is used on Almanac's menus and displays. If you are running another language that is not included, you can build your own ALMSTR.TXT file. Copy the original ALMSTR.TXT and use this as a sample language template. You can edit this file with Windows Notepad or another ASCII text editor, replacing the English text with the text appropriate to the language you use.

 Almanac 3.1b requires Windows 3.1 or higher. With a native 32-bit version of Almanac 3.1b for the Windows NT, Almanac data files can be shared between Windows and Windows NT. It retains all the characteristics of a wall calendar and more. The Julian date appears in the daily view, which makes my monthly paper calendar desktop pad one step above Almanac. I doubt if there are many of us that still bank on the Julian date, or are there? If you do not have a math co-processor you may notice a small delay as the sunrise and sunset times are calculated and displayed. With all the extra features, Almanac has taken this simple tool, the calendar, a step into the future.

Members of Windows OnLine will find Almanac for Windows as ALM31B.ZIP.

Almanac 3.1b for Windows NT is ALT31B.ZIP.

      DISK FACTORY

a review by Steven Jay Cohen

A good disk duplication utility is one of the basics needed by all Windows users. Indeed, formatting and duplication are among the more mundane, albeit necessary tasks that all PC users must perform with regularity. Making a personal choice in this crowded field is difficult, at best. What qualities should be looked for in a utility of this sort? First of all, speed and reliability are a must. It ought to be capable of duplicating diskettes of any size, and of easily producing multiple copies. It should also possess the ability to run in the background with minimal demands on memory. Disk Factory, authored by Mark McGinty, gets top scores in all of these areas, and offers several outstanding features which set it apart from the crowd.

Speed and Reliability

All of us want our duplicating and formatting tasks to be conducted at lightning speed, so that we can move on to more productive activity. The unfortunate reality is that the speed of these tasks is limited by the hardware itself. For 5¼" drives, the proper rotation speed is 360 RPM for high density (1.2 MB) drives, and 300 RPM for double density (360K) drives. All 3½" drives rotate at 300 RPM. This imposes a ceiling on the rate at which floppy disk related i/o activity can occur. There is no other Windows utility that can operate faster than Disk Factory. It formats and copies diskettes as fast as these limitations will allow.

For this type of utility, reliability is a critical issue. To insure an exact copy, you must sacrifice a little bit of speed. Some applications address this aspect by using the BIOS Verify function. The inherent shortcoming of this method is that in most of today's systems, the BIOS neither requires nor uses any reference to the source data in order to verify. It simply makes sure that the sector markers are valid, without any consideration for the actual data. Though not always reliable, this process is somewhat faster than the method applied by Disk Factory.

Disk Factory copies enjoy a much higher level of confidence because it actually re-reads and verifies, making a byte-for-byte comparison of data on the target to the source data in memory. Additionally, the new release has very robust error handling. If a read error is encountered, Disk Factory efficiently reads the track, three sectors at a time. Any of the three sector groups that produce read errors are in turn read one sector at a time.

If there are sectors that cannot be read, a cached copy of the first FAT (File Allocation Table) is checked to see if the bad sectors are allocated. If not, no error message is displayed. If so, the option to ignore still exists. Most often, the intense scrutiny of the verification process simply recovers the bad sector. In such a case, a "Bad Sector Recovered" message flashes, and the process continues to completion.

A Unique Array of Features

Disk Factory includes several unique capabilities that make it an invaluable tool:

X-Format -	A new cross-format duplication feature allows a diskette to be copied to any other diskette of like or greater size. It will, for example, automatically copy a 360K diskette to a 720K diskette, or a 720K diskette to a 1.44MB diskette. This process does not require any reformatting.

Mini-File Manager -	Accessible from the menu bar, a dialog box can be opened which displays the contents of a diskette. From this vantage point, programs can be run and associated files inspected without having to access your usual file manger.

Coactive Prompt -	Interesting and quite handy, a stay-on-top coactive prompt appears at those junctures which require action. It informs you to change diskettes and permits you to communicate with Disk Factory without leaving your current application. Moving the cursor over the prompt enlarges it to display helpful instructions and provides access to further online help.

Support for Non-DOS Diskettes -	Disk Factory is capable of copying many non-DOS formats, including Macintosh 1.44MB and Atari ST diskettes. For those who copy non-DOS diskettes on a regular basis, there is a provision to disable the associated warning messages.

Disk Factory 1.1 is an innovative, professional package that can be relied upon for accuracy. After auditioning dozens of possibilities, this is the one I have chosen. I use it exclusively for all of my duplication tasks, and have found it to be consistently dependable. The bonus is that it is shareware, and you can try it out for yourself to determine whether or not it suits your needs. Why not give it a whirl?

Windows OnLine members can find Disk Factory 1.1  in the libary as DISFAC11.ZIP.

      PICTURE THIS!

a review by Tami Brydone-Jack

Alston Software Labs' Picture This! is a graphics program created for kids 4-99. My son and I gave it a try recently. My son Mickey is 3½ years old, a bit younger than the recommended age group, but he is very 'puter literate for a child his age, so I gave him a turn with Picture This! to see how he would like it.

Picture This! is a paint program (as opposed to a drawing program) with the tools common to a paint program, however, it also has a number of other fun features that make it ideal for a child to really express himself, such as "rubber stamps," special effects, Land and Sky, and even an animated penguin!

The rubber stamps are categorized into several different groups: City, for building houses, roads and fences, etc.; Country, with farm animals, haystacks, tractors, etc.; Effects, mostly stamped designed to be smeared to create backgrounds such as clouds, etc.; Misc. and User, which are collections of various stamps. The different groups of stamps are chosen from the menu, and a pre-reading child will need a grown-up's help to do this task. Anyway, we don't really let the kids at the computer without us there anyway, now do we?

Most tools are easily accessible through the graphical toolbox, which is very good for a young child who can read a few words like "exit" and "Toyota" but cannot read words such as "save" or "print."

Those features are reached through the tool that looks like a computer monitor. When that button is pressed, the child is presented with more graphical choices that most pre-reading children can understand.

Picture This! is designed to not only help children express themselves artistically, it also teaches basic Windows skills. The mouse is relied upon almost exclusively, so mouse skills and hand-eye coordination are very important. Choosing the drawing tools from the toolbox teaches menu selection skills.

A feature I really liked for a learning experience is the "paint bucket" feature. When using the paint bucket, it must be chosen each time. This prevents the child from repainting over the area they've just painted with another color. This has been a serious frustration for Mickey with other paint programs that he's used (not to mention a headache for me in having to "undo" every mistake). This particular feature teaches a child about "drag and drop." Children are so literal, that an abstract concept like drag and drop is beyond their level of comprehension when you try to explain it to them. Alston Software Labs' way of teaching this Windows fundamental is much simpler.

An educational computer program is only educational if the child finds it fun and easy to use. Mickey really had a good time using Picture This! and we made some pictures about some of his favorite things. I submit them for your admiration:

Like most little children, Mickey likes animals and he wanted to make a farm picture. I used the "Land and Sky" feature to make the background, I drew the clouds and placed the sun with rubber stamps and then I let him go wild with the "Country" rubber stamps. When he would choose a rubber stamp and hold down the left mouse button, the rubber stamp would drop copies of the picture (or smear it, depending upon the selected stamp) all over the place. This can be disabled so that the picture only appears when the mouse button is clicked, but he liked it enabled, so why not amuse him?

Mickey thought it was really fun to see his pictures in print. I have an HP550C, so we printed out the pictures in full color, and they look great on my refrigerator! I changed the orientation of the printer to landscape so that the pictures would print on a full page.

The help function is not a standard Windows Help hypertext file. It is a picture-word list of tools and their descriptions. This makes it much more accessible for children. The icons are very self-explanatory, and the program itself is very simple to use. Online help is not very extensive, yet it does not need to be. Picture This! even comes with a design guide and a few sample pictures.

Mickey and I really enjoyed using Picture This! and we would heartily recommend it to kids of all ages! Find the shareware version as PTTD.ZIP on Windows OnLine. The registered version brings additional rubber stamps and other features as shown in this review.

Windows OnLine™ Publications

 Your Billboard on the Information Highway™

The travelers on the information highway ride that road because of their intense curiosity, their need to learn and their desire to have the latest and the best. These adventuresome individuals are prime candidates for your advertising message. But how to reach them??

Windows OnLine™ uses its technology and imagination to offer you an opportunity to reach this high quality demographic. Your message is presented colorfully, complete with your recognizable logos and product illustrations. Unlike mainstream advertising mediums, the Windows® based system that we use has special features that can increase the effectiveness of your message. Not only is it colorful, it virtually reaches out to your new customers!

By seeing this issue you know how advertisements can POP-UP to greet potential customers as they browse our WinOnLine™ publications, instantly grabbing their attention (optional feature). No print media can match this performance. You can also give your reader a special message for future reference or immediate action. A simple click of the mouse causes your special coupon offer or mailer to print at their location, ready for instant response! PRINT OUT this page of information for your own use immediately by clicking on the indicated icon below, and observe this operation!

To discuss advertising opportunities with Windows OnLine™ and to receive a media package, please contact our Advertising Manager, Bob Gollihur at 609-624-1470; CIS 71334,2065, or Publisher Frank Mahaney at 510-736-4376.

Write for the Review
YOU can join the Windows OnLine™ Team!

Do you like to test shareware programs? Do you enjoy sharing your adventures with the latest Windows hardware and software? We are interested in adding quality Freelance and Staff writers for our magazines. You need not be a "Hemingway" (they're moody and drink too much, anyway). All is required is that you possess a general knowledge of Windows shareware and commercial products, and have the ability to relate your experiences in a friendly and informative fashion. You don't need to be conversant with the Help File format.

Call Windows OnLine (BBS 510-736-8343) and gain immediate access to the Writers Conference #4 (J 4). You may download WOLWRIT2.ZIP (62K) for a brief writers guide and submission samples. Leave a message for Senior Staff Writer Ed Hoffman or Editor Bob Gollihur.  here for alternative contact methods. You can become part of the team!
