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. Here are a few 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.

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 be a different color be underlined, usually indicating 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 and how your cursor changes?) 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.


How to Read Popup
SURPRISE!!!

comments from Frank Mahaney

Well, another year has gone, and I, as Publisher, have a certain responsibility. I am certain, as readers, you have certain expectations of me and of the content of this column this month, as we enter the new year. However...

I will not be predicting the events and trends for 1996.

I will not be reflecting, in needless detail (you were there, weren’t you?), on the various events of last year, month by month.

You’re welcome. <g>

On behalf of the staff of the WinOnLine Review™, we wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

Enjoy the issue!

Who is this Wolly guy? Is he for real?

Karen, via AOL

Yes, Karen, there is a Wolly. For as long as there is shareware on a scale from superior to mediocre, there will be a Wolly. For as long as authors lovingly slave away in the wee hours with their Jolt Cola and cold pizza, there will be a Wolly. Remember, Karen, there is a little “Wolly” in each of us. Keep the faith.

CACHE LA BYTE COMMENTARY

commentary by Thom Foulks

Remember the Tower of Babel? Of course you don't, and I don't either. But we both remember the Sunday School stories about Ark-passenger descendants of Noah who tried to build a tower to Heaven. That displeased God, according to the Bible, and he successfully stymied their efforts by changing the languages of the work crews. They couldn't communicate, so they couldn't continue.

From that, so goes the legend, comes the term "babble" -- or babbling, which is something columnists do this time of year after the third shopping trip of the weekend without finding a gift for Aunt Emma.

(Stick with me here -- I'm trying to draw an analogy, and I couldn't find a sharp pencil.)

Some highly respected columnists in the computer press have been babbling lately, so I'm choosing this venue to babble in disagreement with them. (Hey, I've served on discussion panels at national meetings with both of them, so...) In both cases, their topic is our current form of the Tower of Babel (the World Wide Web); and in both cases, they have Biblical viewpoints -- the Web will come tumbling down.

Better-known name of the two is Pournelle, the father-son team of Jerry and Alex who write in the January 1996 "Internet World" magazine (p. 90, 'The Internet Underbelly') that "a shakeout looms ahead" for the Web and the Internet in general. There are "consolidations and bankruptcies...coming...(that) will make the early history of automobile manufacturers look like a duel between kids' lemonade stands."

Bob Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet and past publisher of InfoWorld has a dramatically more negative view. In the December 4 edition of InfoWorld (p. 61, 'From the Ether'), he lays out ten explicit reasons why he predicts the Internet "will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse."

Wrong, Bob. Wrong, Jerry/Alex. And here's why you're wrong.

Both (all?) of you have homed in on profits, financial transactions, security and other organizational/bureaucratic factors to support your negative views. Oh, sure, many of the negatives you predict -- related to those factors -- will occur. No one's really discovered a sure-bet money-making strategy for the Web (except maybe some pornographers who use Web freedom, but will saturate their limited market and retreat to the back alleys from whence they came). Some Netscape investors have certainly already made money, but went looking for a different Wall Street golden goose the same day.

Money is not what drives the Internet, and certainly not the Web. Never was, never will be.

As a veteran system operator of a bulletin board system (SysOp of a BBS, to those who speak the lingo), I can easily see Messrs. Pournelle and Metcalfe would have had the same view of SysOp Ward Christensen's first BBS last eon or so. Wasted effort, they would have opined. No money in it.

No one's ever successfully analyzed the motivation of a SysOp, sticking expensive hardware onto their own telephone line, inviting others to call and even currying to the tastes and whims of their "users." Of course, hundreds of SysOps have found ways of making money of their efforts; thousands have tried to do the same and failed; and the largest group of SysOps (of hundreds of thousands) simply didn't care...like me.

Y'see, where Jerry/Alex/Bob have all gone wrong in their analyses is to ignore the human factor. Society, worldwide, has somehow spawned this quaint group of people who are SysOps. I enjoy being one -- there is a certain god-like power element within my enjoyment, I admit; but the by-far larger joy and thrill is simply in the shared communications that goes on endlessly amidst the group(s) of disparate individuals who use BBSs.

I also admit to being among the group of SysOps who have already checked out the rates for 56Kbps, T1, etc. telephone lines; and the costs of linkage to an Internet backbone. Trifle steep for my tastes today -- but I also remember when 300bps modems cost more that $500, and performed terribly. Those rates have not been too steep for others, however -- the movement of largebore BBS systems to the Internet/Web has been under way throughout 1995, with a quickening pace.

Tomorrow, who knows? I DO know that in December my small BBS, celebrating its 12th birthday, was honorably retired. Too many of its users have moved to -- you guessed it -- the Internet.

This is not a case of "build it and they will come." They're already here.

And SysOp me is looking for a way to catch up with them.

SHAREWARE BRIEFS

Quick Takes and Pure Opinion from Wolly

BILL GATES POCKET CHANGE

“Bill” Screen “Saver” (could we have any more wordplay in one short sentence??)

This freeware screen saver causes $100 bills with Bill Gate’s visage to flutter down and cover your screen. If you want, you can even choose to include a counter to add up the bills as they appear, and make it a windy day. Wolly notes that it is interesting how much of the world seems to have to go after Bill since he has earned a few pesos. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that he has been working hard, smart, and intensely for many years; nobody just handed him the bucks! And for what altruistic reason was this free screen saver produced and distributed as BILLGATE.ZIP (59K)??? To advertise the maker’s services. Oh. Then I guess it is a tribute to Bill’s capitalism.

click me!

BALLOON SAVER

Eventually, they all blow away

Galtware brings balloons and dirigibles to your screen. They’re quiet (Wolly likes that in a screen saver — otherwise he can’t hear the music he’s intentionally playing. And if he’s not there, who cares?) and as they rise, they’re blown off the screen by the puffing cloud surrounded by the advertising hype. Yes, you can register just this very average, but OK screen saver for $19.00, but for $29.00 you get a CD with a full motion screen saver plus a bundle of seven more. If you’re about to pop with curiosity, download BALLSV11.ZIP (112K) and check it out yourself.

 ENCRYPT-IT

”Paranoia runs deep. Into your heart it will creep.”

Wolly remembers the lyrics, the song title escapes him at this moment, but the need for occasional security does not. This slick program encrypts files quickly and easily, keeping the bad guys from knowing your secrets. You can even wipe the original from your disk as you encrypt it. Using the toolbar and conventional dialogs makes this easy, and you get to confirm your code key before it does its duty. MaeDae provides two levels of proprietary encryption in this version, and will include DES (Data Encryption Standard) as an option in the registered version only with versions sold to U.S. and Canadian addresses, since it is illegal to send that puppy elsewhere. Keep your secrets with EIW301.ZIP (298K), which can be registered for $59.00. A good way to stay secretive, for what it’s worth.

KALKULATOR

A Polish Calculator — no, I’m not kidding

Wolly’s not trying to be cute or derisive here. The author states that the name is a legimate Polish word that translates as “The Mother of All Calculators and There Ain’t No Better One, Period” and he just ain’t just whistlin’ a polka. This thing has more stuff that Wolly doesn’t understand than any calculator he’s ever seen, and a lot of neat stuff that he has. Tabs access multiple additional functions, it does direct conversions from a neat sub-menu, and, well, all kinds of other rad things. KALK101.ZIP (325K) sums up to be a $40.00 shareware product.

 Wolly sez...

click me!

TRUETYPE FONTS

About time some showed up

   BABYBLOC.ZIP (101K)

   FORTFONT.ZIP (93K)

   CHATEAU.ZIP (146K)

   MRYDTT.ZIP (76K)

   MAUVE_D.ZIP (129K)

Check the documentation with each and abide by the shareware registration requests if you use any of these.

FMX TOUCH

Keep yer hands off da merchandise!

Despite the hype, not everybody has moved to Windows 95. And, even some of us that have still prefer the Windows 3.1 File Manager over Explorer to get real work done. Well, Wolly's discovered a neat freeware add-on that adds even more functionality to our friend Mr. File Manager. FMXTouch 1.4 by Gregory Braun is a DLL that lets you change the date and time stamp on files, great for giving multiple files the same time and date before putting them into a ZIP file. It also lets you quickly turn a group of files' read-only bits on or off. This comes in real handy when you copy a bunch of files from a CD-ROM to your hard drive. Highlight 'em, and one mouse click later, you can now edit and save them. And, if that's not enough ladies and gentlemen, FMXTouch will even show you how much space you have left on your hard drive. Touch your File Manager by downloading FMXTCH14.ZIP. Did we mention it was totally free?

 LOUPE

Threw me for one

Wolly hasn’t quite decided whether Bob’s monitors are getting blurry or his eyes are getting bleary. He does, however, confess that he recently acquired reading glasses, not, of course, for that purpose, but simply to make him look more intellectual — wouldst that be possible. LOUPE16.ZIP (40K) is an interesting solution to the close-up problems: magnify a small screen portion 2, 4, or 8 times the normal view. Unfortunately, it doesn’t show the cursor, to help Wolly when he’s trying for those detailed little graphics edits; that would make it perfect. Loupe also constantly displays screen coordinates, and offers quick displays of a horizontal and vertical ruler, an ASCII chart, and error codes listing, handy for the programmer in us all (buried very deeply within Wolly.) Best of all, it’s freeware, courtesy of author Gregory Braun. Thanks!!!

Wolly’s Whys ???????

Stupid stuff Wolly downloaded and wished he hadn’t

BIG_BRO.ZIP (4K) is a text file from a paranoid moron who signed as C. Wesley Davis, reporting that Microsoft is actually “Big Brother.” He so kindly warns us that “Windows '95 has a hidden little sub program that will allow them to see what you have on your system, including text files, private files, and even accounting files!  Microsoft can get complete access to everything on your system! 2- This information can then be used to delete un-licensed programs it finds in your system!” Beware, C. Wesley! Wolly is, at this very moment, transmitting evil and subversive thoughts to you through his all-powerful wireless modem — you’d better get out that special helmet you made out of aluminum foil to prevent him from reading your thoughts! Trust No. 1.

Wolly welcomes nominations for “Wolly’s Whys,” which may be sub-titled “Look who got Visual Basic for Christmas and Wrote Another Resource Monitor” next month. Absurd and worthless top the list. You can e-mail files, along with your comments, to: wordsmit@acy.digex.net

Review Updates
REVIEW UPDATES & QUICK TAKES

The latest from the WinOnLine™ Review staff

WinHelp Office ‘95

In WOLR 100 I reviewed the extensive offerings in Blue Sky’s WinHelp Office, the complete suite of tools for Windows help file development. Do refer back to that article for further information on the many components included in this package. Though that release did include a great tool to compile Windows 95 help files and create contents (CNT) files, it was a bit too early in the game for a dedicated Win95 tool. With this new version, Blue Sky is first on the scene with a complete Windows 95 help authoring solution that works with MS Word for Windows 95 (version7.0). That’s not all that makes this update exciting; there’s now even more to the package.

Blue Sky has incorporated complete support for help file developers in WinHelp Office 95; both the 16 and 32 bit versions of RoboHELP and other tools are included in this package, so you can develop for Windows 3.x, 95, and NT. The two versions require and support Microsoft Word 2, 6, and 7. Among the updated tools are companion 32-bit releases of the WinHelp Video Kit and the 32-bit Software Video Camera™. Further enhancing the package are two brand new programs.

WinHelp Internet Access lets you embed Internet site hotlinks into a help file. The “Wizard” adds the macro link to text or a graphic, enabling anyone using Netscape, Mosaic, or MS Internet Explorer to access the Web page or ftp site you specify. A 5K redistributable program is included for your user to set their browser path, and 16- and 32-bit DLLs, weighing in at 9K and 35K, respectively, are also included. This ability is ideal to help users easily access your Internet sites to download updates, provide e-mail technical support, or even electronically register their product, all from within a Windows help file.

Help-To-Source is a handy tool to have when you need to decompile an existing help file. Maybe you’ve lost the original source files, or the contract programmer took off with them, or maybe you’re just curious. I’ve seen similar tools, but none break the file down to its component parts like this program: it returns an RTF, the HPJ (project file), and graphics in their original file formats. That’s impressive.

The one initial disappointment was quickly quashed, the fact that RoboHELP 95 would not produce help files for Windows 3.1. While currently you must maintain Word 6.0 and 7.0 and both the 16- and 32-bit versions of RoboHELP (included) to accommodate both needs, Blue Sky has announced that an update will be available in February. This anticipated revision will allow the creation of 3.x files from Microsoft Word 7.0. I also understand that HTML tools will be forthcoming from Blue Sky in the near future, one of which will provide for co-development of World Wide Web pages and Windows Help simultaneously. Look for a review in a future WOLR. Meanwhile, if you want a complete set of Windows Help authoring tools, WinHelp Office 95 is the complete answer.

WinHelp Office 95 is still available at an introductory price of $599.00, with RoboHELP 95 available separately at $499.00. Blue Sky sales can be reached at 800-459-2356 or 619-459-6356; their web site is at http://www.blue-sky.com

MEGAWORD

a review by Steven Justice

Romke Soldaat’s Megaword has been a premier add-on since Word for Windows was in version 2.0 (remember version 2.0?). It has always featured virtuoso WordBasic programming, and has always brought useful functions to Microsoft’s wonderfully sophisticated and maddeningly incomplete word processor; indeed, its last incarnation won WOLR’s coveted Works for me! award. Earlier versions of Megaword seemed the work of a programmer determined to show that one could do anything with Word’s macro language. Some of its features were more impressive than useful (how many people wanted Word to track their biorhythms?). But Megaword 95, for Word 7.0 (Word for Windows 95), is a different story altogether: it is brilliant, it is focused, and it is stunningly useful.

I simply don’t have space to cover everything useful it adds to Word; I can’t even describe all the highlights. What follows is more to offer a taste of what it has to offer, and to encourage you to try it for yourself.

One of the most impressive aspects of Megaword is how its focus has changed with the changes in the application and the operating system. Everyone, by now, has heard that Windows95 tries to integrate documents and applications with the desktop, and offers powerful tools for doing so. However, Microsoft’s own new applications don’t take very full advantage of those tools. Word 6.0 had already introduced a similarly revolutionary feature, though you may never have heard of it: the “document variable.” Megaword takes advantage of these developments: at its heart are features that let you use Windows95’s desktop and Word’s “document variables” in ways that really matter. Take, for instance, Megaword Explorer. This dialog box--a tabbed dialog box, like most in this add-on--presents in very little space some dazzling possibilities. It allows you to move, copy, delete or rename an active document, something no other Word add-on can boast. It lets you define and retrieve information about the document to be stored with the document. It lets you display various kinds of information on Word’s title bar (like the full path of the file, or the date and time, or the word count) by clicking a button. And it lets you scatter shortcuts for the current document anywhere you like.

So if you realize that you want to remember to consult the letter you’re currently writing when you send out invoices next month, you can place a shortcut in your “Billing” folder without leaving Word or your document. The Document Recall feature is similar: it creates a “Recent Documents” folder and will, if you like, place into it shortcuts to documents you open. You can have it ask as you open each new document, too.

Finding the documents you need can be annoying; navigating the ones you’ve found can be even worse, and one of my favorite Megaword features takes a fresh approach to the problem. The Doc Hopper will list all paragraphs in any given style (like “Heading 1”); when you double-click on one, it takes you directly to that paragraph.

It takes a few seconds to build the index of paragraphs in a given style, but Megaword can save the index of paragraphs with the document, so that the next time, all your “Heading 1” paragraphs can be displayed instantaneously. The Doc Browser serves a similar purpose. It displays thumbnails of individual pages, and lets you list and go to pages, sections, bookmarks, or whatever with a double-click; it also displays statistics about the document as you proceed through it. This feature, though handy, can be rather slow. But there is a quicker way to get any number of statistics for your document, in Megaword’s replacement for Word’s built-in Word Count. It can give you a word-count for the document, the section, the page, the paragraph, or--this is a function I use all the time--for the text up to wherever the cursor is.

There is a whole packet of functions to make editing and formatting your documents easier. The Font Manager lets you group your fonts under descriptive names, and preview selected text in any of the fonts.

It will also create font charts and character lists for any fonts. There is an ingenious replacement for Word’s built-in Insert Symbol command; Megaword’s version intelligently guesses what group of symbols you’re likely to want and presents them in a small and elegant line-up. Repeat Format does just what its name suggests: it applies the last bit of formatting again. Surround Selection will put paired elements around selected text: this makes it easy to apply, say, “French quotes” and other punctuation marks that don’t appear on the keyboard. There is a Cycle Format function, an idea borrowed from Lotus WordPro: you can define a series of font, font sizes, styles, etc., and apply each in turn to a selection merely by pressing a key or button. This feature is extremely handy if you’re trying to get that newsletter to look exactly right.

Megaword replaces Word’s “File|Print” dialog with a tabbed box that adds many new functions, including ones you might never have thought of but will be glad to have. Printing all the key assignments in a template is a good example. It offers a Number Manager that must be seen to be believed (or even understood), and a handy Word Optimizer for improving the application’s performance.

And there is still plenty I’ve left out. But there is one more function I want to mention, because it shows both how up-to-date Megaword is and how solicitous M. Soldaat is for his customers. You may have read a couple months ago about the new “Word macro virus.” This virus is really an “AutoOpen” macro--a macro that runs whenever you open a document--and it can do very nasty things to your Word files. The final Megaword 95 release includes a function that will, if you want, alert you to any document that has an AutoOpen macro. It gives you the option of running the macro, aborting the macro, or aborting the opening of the file. This is good business, because it takes the user’s needs to heart.

MICROANGELO

a review by Steven Jay Cohen

Icons — Graphics — Color! Isn’t this what got you into Windows in the first place? That’s certainly true for me and, I’d have to say, almost everyone else I know who has fallen under the Windows spell. I used to spend hours and hours downloading, collecting, organizing, editing, creating and re-creating countless numbers of icons. The good ol’ days!

Aside from the artistry of this miniature genre`, and the quest to find just the right icon for a given purpose, frankly... it was just great fun. To this day, my favorite icon manager/manipulator is still Phillip Kauffman’s Icon Master. It was one of the first and finest pieces of Windows shareware I ever registered. Though its development was truncated by his untimely passing, it has remained for me the standard by which I have measured all other applications of this type.

Enter the 32 bit world of Windows 95 and a new level of icons and color and resolution. The operating system has finally outgrown the capabilities of Icon Master, and I am forced to find another icon manager to whom the baton can be passed. This in mind, Microangelo caught my eye.

As one might expect, Windows 95 allowances and mechanisms for selection and display of icons differ somewhat from those in Windows 3.x. The system uses the registry to determine which icon to display for a specific file. From a programmer’s standpoint, an icon is registered for every data file type that an application supports and that you want the user to be able to distinguish easily. Instead of registering the application’s executable file, you can also register the name of a dynamic link library file (DLL), an icon file (ICO), or bitmap file (BMP) to supply the data file icons. At the least, the following sizes may (should) be included: 16 x 16 pixel (16 color), 32 x 32 pixel (16 color), and 48 x 48 pixel (256 color).

The potential result is a rich array of icons embedded within the 32 bit application, the display of which is partially determined by the resolution being run. This translates into a huge treasure trove of icons for the collectors among us! Microangelo very nicely provides the ways and means to extract and save them in singular (ICO) or library (ICL) formats.

Microangelo is basically divided into three major parts: the Browser, Librarian, and Studio. Each component is easily accessible from the other two.

The Browser

This component allows the user to navigate through the folders on  the hard drive, displaying only those files that contain icons. Handily, it lists the number of icons to be found within a given file. If you double click on a file in the Icons tab, the file will be opened in a Studio edit session. The Browser can be used to drag and drop files onto the Librarian. Drag and drop with the right mouse button, and you will be presented with a choice of either opening the file or adding the icons in the file(s) to the current Librarian workspace.

The Librarian

The Librarian provides the capability to extract, edit, organize, and store icons. Individual icons can be moved or copied by dragging and dropping between multiple Librarian windows to create customized icon libraries. It is much more efficient to collect and store icons in this way than to save hundreds of individual icons in ICO format. It takes up much less room on your hard drive. Despite the fact that a 16x16 (16 color) icon is only 766 bytes, it will tie up the entire 8192 byte-sized allocation unit where it resides, so as to remain a discrete entity (allocation unit sizes are dependent upon the size of the drive partition). In this case, you’re left with 7.25K of unusable, blank hard drive space for every singular icon stored on the hard drive. Multiply that times hundreds of icons, and you’ll find you’re wasting a lot of space!

The Studio

(this graphic has been dithered to 16 colors, but you get the idea)

The Studio is capable of editing all of the aforementioned sizes and formats of icon images replete, as you can see, with all the expected tools. It will create, open, and save icon resource files (*.ICO format) or support the ICL library format directly. You can select a file from the Browser or double click on any icon in the Librarian to open an edit session.

Summary

What you see here is, in fact, what you get. And I must say that it is quite capable and easy to use, as far as that goes. But I also feel compelled to say to the authors, “C’mon fellas! What gives?” How many of you noticed the tab in the first graphic that is labeled, “ANI Cursors”? And I bet you’re wondering why I am only just now mentioning this. The reason is that the animator is not part of the distributed shareware package. It is, however, purchaseable for a mere $25.00. Why would I want to send $25.00 (the price of the Browser + the Animator) to purchase something I’ve never seen? Plus, there isn’t even a simple list of its features included -- only the system requirements for running it.

I certainly don’t mind giving an author just due for shareware I find useful and I don’t even mind paying an extra buck or two if it happens to be particularly good. As good as this is, I do not feel that the $44.95 registration fee for the three components above is reasonable, and the requested $59.95 for all four components is even less so! I might have considered this registration had the price been more reasonable.

I will close by saying again, that this application is indeed very capable. If icons are your bag, you should definitely give it a whirl. You may feel differently and choose to register it.

Useful Utilities for Win95
USEFUL UTILITES FOR WIN95

reviews by Ed Hoffman

Last month WOLR looked at a select collection of utilities that add a bit more functionality to Windows 95, but we actually witheld a few due to space considerations. Instead, we decided to await the present issue to highlight these add-ons. Here are several more very useful utilities that you may find deserve a place on your Windows 95 system.

Though Windows 95 has added considerably more features and functionality to the basic Windows system, these niche utilities address a variety of omissions and oversights in the base Windows 95 program. There are even a few things here that I’ll bet the folks at Redmond did not even think about. While I must admit there has been a plethora of add-ons and utilities to hit the streets in the last few months, most score quite high on my “Ho-Hum meter.” However, like those mentioned last month, these utilities are all quite exceptional. While they cannot be guaranteed to resolve all your transitory nightmares, these utilities will make working with the new operating system a little easier.

DiskCopy 2.0

The simple act of copying disks in the new Windows 95 is, to say the least, different from earlier versions of the operating system. Were it not for the online help, I’m not sure I would have figured out this relatively simple process. Fortunately, with DiskCopy 2.0, both the disk copy and disk formatting processes are much simpler and faster to accomplish. DiskCopy is a simple, and quite small (73 kb) 32-bit Windows 95 utility program for formatting and creating duplicate disks.

Unlike the utilities built into Windows 95, that must read the source disk for each duplicate disk you need, DiskCopy prompts you for the number of copies you need to make. This both simplifies and speeds the copying process. DiskCopy does not, however, do a track by track copy. Rather, it simply copies the directory structure, files, and volume label of the disk. Since this is all that’s needed 99% of the time, this should not pose a problem for the vast majority of your copying operations.

The formatting functions of the program allow a variety of different disk sizes (1.2 Mb, 720 Kb, 1.44 Mb, and 2.88 Mb) and formatting options. A Quick Format option simply erases the disk. This operation is quite fast for formatting disks that have already been formatted. The Full Format option performs the entire formatting process on the disk. Two other very useful formatting options are the Copy System Files and the Full Boot Disk. The Full Boot Disk option copies both the system files and several other files necessary to create a System Boot Disk.

DOS Explore 95 v1.1

The DOS Explore applet is a unique freeware utility designed to give you access to the DOS prompt or alternate command prompt, such as 4DOS, from within the Windows 95 Explorer. When installed, this utility adds an MS DOS Prompt line, or Alternative Command Prompt line, or both lines, to the right mouse button menu. This gives you quick and easy access to the command line from within any directory you may select. This functionality is only available with directories. When the right mouse button is clicked, the program activates the DOS prompt and allows you to browse the currently selected directory. This applet has been tested and works with both 4DOS 5.51 and 4DOS for Windows NT. You will need to test it yourself to see whether or not DOS Explore will work with any other alternate command prompt you may presently use.

TrayIcon for Windows 95

Windows 95 has greatly simplified the procedures used to launch programs. Instead of opening Program Manager to find and launch your program, now the programs you use most frequently may be placed right on the desktop. This sure simplifies the way most of us work. But, despite the utility of placing shortcuts to your programs on the desktop, there are some applications better suited to placement right on the Windows Task Bar. Now, with the TrayIcon program, you can place selected programs right in the tray, at the right side of the Windows Taskbar.

TrayIcon gives you one click access to these applications. The program is quite simple to use and easy to setup. The first time you run the program, you are prompted to enter the necessary information about the first icon that will be displayed in the tray. To add additional items, or to make any modifications, just right click the icon you installed and the TrayIcon setup screen appears. The applications may be configured to run as Normal, Minimized, or Maximized. There are also areas in the setup where you can specify program arguments, an icon path, and a check box to allow you enter other special input to the program activation.

WinGO 1.4 for Windows 95

One of the hallmarks of Windows 95 is the way it allows the user a wide range of organizational options. However, despite this feature, the folders we use most often are not always as accessible as we might like. The WinGo 1.4 utility permits a user to place these frequently accessed folders right in the system tray.

WinGo is a unique little applet that installs itself in the system tray and when clicked displays a listing of the folders you want to access quickly. This utility is quite simple to setup and configure for your particular folder structure. To create your individual folder listing, simply right-click the mouse on the WinGO icon. This pops up a dialog box that allows you to add, modify or delete specific folders. To access these folders, simply left-click the mouse on the icon and your list of folders is instantly displayed. To open a folder, just click the folder name and the Window 95 Explorer opens to that folder and displays all your files.

WinShade for Windows 95 1.5

Having too many open windows on the desktop is a recurring problem that has plagued the Windows operating system since its inception. It seems no matter how carefully you place your windows on the desktop, there is always a problem when it comes to finding a specific program. Well, one way around this difficulty is with the WinShade 1.5 utility. This unique program makes it quite easy to switch between open programs or windows.

Instead of minimizing one application window, just to see another, WinShade will allow you to click on the title bar to reduce the selected window to its smallest vertical dimension. Generally, the program window will “roll-up,” like a window shade, leaving only the program title bar on the desktop. Then, the next time the program, or window, is required, a simple click on the title bar automatically “unrolls” the window, restoring it to full size. WinShade also comes with two WAV files, to add sound effects to the program operation.

These Windows 95 utilities are all well written, very functional, and will definitely help you to be more productive. Now you’ll be able to spend more time with your applications and less time tinkering around with Windows 95 itself.

JOT

a review by Ed Hoffman

Word processors are, quite possibly, the single most popular category of software available today. Virtually every computer system in use today has some type of word processor installed. Despite the wide spread use of word processors, there are many occasions when even the best word processor is less than ideal for the task at hand. From writing simple notes to reading text files, quite often a simple text editor is better suited for many of the small jobs we do every day.

Available in a host of styles and types, there really isn’t one single best choice. Rather, the best text editor is the one that does exactly what you want given the task at hand. For many, the bundled Windows editors, Notepad and Write, are more than sufficient. Ever looking for ways to simplify my work, one of the best editors I’ve found is an inexpensive shareware offering called Jot 1.4. It is a first rate text editor program that offers an interesting host of features and functions. You too may find it to be just what you need.

Extremely flexible and user-configurable, Jot 1.4 is easily tailored to suit the way you work. From specifying the default file format to defining the basic look of the program window, it offers a considerable array of useful and customizable setup options. Where most editors have a fixed, built-in TXT file default, Jot permits the easy selection of the INI, TXT, BAT, or *.* extension, among others, via a drop down file type box. With today’s prevalence of requisite World Wide Web HTM and HTML extensions, Jot handily offers the HTM format as a default file type.

If you find that you frequently type the same information, over and over, this program may be just the ticket. Jot has two different areas where repetitive information may be stored to automate these typing tasks. The first is a series of four clip boxes and the second is a set of ten clip lines. The clip boxes are intended for multiple line entries or larger text passages, and are accessed with the CTRL+(1 - 4) hotkey combination. Clip lines, used for single line text entries or very short text passages, are activated with the ALT+(1 - 0) keys.

The Jot program also has a variety of other novel and unique features and accessories. For example, unlike many other simple text editors, this program has a powerful built-in spell checking utility, a print preview option, and one-click access to the Windows character map and calculator. For those situations where it is required, Jot will give you an accurate count of the words or characters in a document. And unlike many word processors, its character counts include the spaces. Counts may be performed on the entire document and/or on selected passages of highlighted text.

Two additional features seldom found in any other Windows utilities, let alone a text editor, are the launch and auto-dial facilities. To launch another program or execute a command, simply highlight the program name or command within the body of text and click on the Execute Highlighted Program, from the Tools menu. A variety of standard command line options are also available here. In similar fashion, a telephone number may be dialed by simply highlighting the number in the text and clicking the Dial Highlighted Number, also in the Tools menu. Jot can even insert the time and date or start your screen saver with a simple click on the tool bar or with a menu option.

All in all, Jot is an impressive text editor that incorporates a wide array of features in a combination that is quite easy to learn and very simple to use. It will run under almost all versions of Windows (3.1, 3.11, and Win 95). Though it may not make the actual writing process any easier, it can certainly simplify many word processing functions. The program is well documented and the context-sensitive help is more than enough to get you up and running quickly. Jot 1.4 is definitely a text editor that you’ll want to take for a test drive.

WINDOWS TERM PAPER

a review by Michael P. Schemer

My wife, a teacher, heard about this program and promptly sent me to Sears during a “Buy two, get one free” offer. With regard to any qualms I had about buying a cheap program, the price of about $10.00 for this program didn’t ease my mind, but at least cut my potential losses.

The program essentially forces you into an outline format for writing term papers. The upper third of the screen is your outline and the bottom part is a simple (but fairly complete) word processor. Though most major word processors today have outlining capability, the tips, techniques and suggestions in Term Paper are probably worth the price of the product -- if only you could get them without using the product.

Setup from the two 3.5" disks was fairly routine. A particular error message was fairly unnerving, though, leaving the impression that the program would not hesitate to write its old, outdated drivers right over my latest and greatest stuff. Apparently, my only protection was that the file in contention was already in use.

Windows Term Paper files are saved in a .TPP format which, I suppose, is proprietary. There is a “save as” menu selection which lets you save it as (ta-da!) a .TPP file. I’d be happier if there were other selections, such as TXT, DOC (Word), and similar choices that would allow me to transfer the final term paper into my personal word processor.

If you click on the "Ideas" menu item, you get a nice set of graphics from which to choose. But . . . the cursor does not change. You can click forever on the Idea and it does nothing. It only works if you click on List of Topics or the other two boxes. I’d like it much better if the arrow would change to a pointing finger or some such cursor to let me know I’m on top of something that can be activated by a click.

Once in “Ideas”, you get three choices: List of Topics, Paper Type and Footnote Facts. In each you get a short display that is not scrollable, with a portion of the display inaccessible below the bottom edge of the window. I could only see the entire content by either printing it on paper or exporting it to a text file. The Topics List gives you some suggested topics; Paper Type suggests different styles (e.g., chronological versus comparison/contrast); and Footnote Facts explains the purposes for footnotes as well as different styles.

It does have tool tips that I appreciate — you just point at an icon and hold the cursor there momentarily to get a short description of the purpose of that icon. The large (and I do mean LARGE) menu icons also have a name as part of the icon. In those cases, you find out that the “Exit” selection will cause you to “exit”. Hmmm. A little redundant. These functions have no keyboard shortcuts, however.

Once you have your idea, you can begin your outline. The standard I.A.1.a.i format is used. No other format is allowed and you can only indent to the fourth level, but you can move entire sections up and down or shift levels (e.g., your C can become III or 3).

For each outline section there is a mini-word processor section to work with your actual term paper. It includes the usual font selection, justification, margin settings, font styles, colors, line spacing and similar controls. You can also insert graphics, cut, paste and search.

A spell checker and thesaurus are also included. It automatically uses its built-in dictionary but you can create a custom dictionary. The thesaurus had a quirk that I could not figure out — every time I selected a word, it gave me synonyms for the following word.

As you’re writing, you can save your references in either a reference or bibliography format. There are some differences in content and sequence between the two but one or the other should suffice. If your teacher or professor wants a specific style, you might run into problems making the adjustments.

In short, it’s not a bad little program and certainly a bargain for the ten-spot I paid. While you may already have the capabilities within your existing word processor, it probably won’t give you the advice contained in Term Paper, which may alone be worth the price of admission. And if you're a high school or college student without the latest and greatest, it could just be the answer.

Planix Home Architect
PLANIX HOME ARCHITECT 3D

a review by Mark J. Tiemann

Before devoting my time to writing I was a real estate appraiser. One of my duties, at that time, was to draw house plans and property layouts for inclusion in clients’ appraisal reports. I only wish that Planix’s Home Architect 3D had been in existence back then. It would have made my job much easier and more professional looking. This slick package from Softdisk is so packed with easy to use, yet very powerful features that I was able to complete my first home design within 30 minutes of its installation.

Its intuitive toolbars, status bar and menus make the creation and editing processes a breeze. The main toolbar contains buttons for the most commonly used program functions. These change in accordance with what you are working on, so you always have the needed tools at hand. A second toolbar displays all the “goodies” that can be added to your dream home (furniture, appliances, doors, windows, and so on). Just click on the item you want and then click on its desired location in the design.

The true difference between Home Architect and most other home design programs is this one is fun! The abilities to create custom 3D views from almost any angle you desire and render your designs in degrees of detail ranging from wire frame to filled polygons make this a winner. I must admit, though, the real excitement begins when you enter your virtual home and see its layout in three dimensions! You have top, bird’s eye and standing views to choose from. Just set your “camera” wherever you desire within the design and then, using the mouse, indicate the direction of gaze. From there you can zoom in and out, pan your camera to the left or right, and more.

     	Don’t like the wall colors? This is easily changed. In fact, almost every display feature of Home Architect is configurable.

I have tried many different home design programs over the years and almost all of them allow you to create attractive house plans. However, none of them come close to the look and detail of Home Architect. You can design the layout of your home’s phone lines, alarm systems, audio/video cabling, electrical wiring and more. It allows you to create property layouts (decks, sidewalks, driveways, etc.), plan out the landscaping (plants and trees, etc.) and even set up the sprinkler system for the lawn.

The manual for the program is divided into four easy to understand sections. It begins by showing you all the things you need to know to start using the program at its fullest potential. After methodically continuing through all the fundamentals of home, landscape and sprinkler design, it concludes with a series of excellent tutorials on how to create your first drawing and provides lists of the symbols that are available in Home Architect’s various libraries. This is one manual that is well worth reading, not just for its program instructions, but also for its solid ideas and hints regarding the design and landscaping of your home and property.

One of the largest assets of this package is the bonus CD-ROM. It contains 500 Floor Plans for a variety of homes ranging from one-story ranches to elegant Victorian dreams. I spent many hours browsing this CD. Utilizing the 3D views is just like going to open house tours. Hey, you may just find the house of your dreams already designed for you and waiting on this disc, but if not, it’s simple to customize an existing plan to your own tastes and needs.

Once your design is complete, you can begin to furnish it. Home Architect comes with a 240 symbol furniture/fixture library contributing to a grand total of over 800 different symbols. These “libraries” allow you to point and click your home’s interior to any style you want (if it was only that easy in real life!) If the item you want is not to be found in one of the provided symbol libraries then you can use Planix’s stand-alone Symbol Editor to create the needed symbol from scratch or to modify existing ones.

Do you need a list of the furniture and appliances in your home? Do you require a breakdown of all the installed windows and doors? Well, Home Architect comes with reports galore! If it doesn’t have a report to fit your need for information then it is very easy to create user-defined ones that will.

When the time comes to print out your plans, Home Architect’s excellent WYSIWYG rendering ability is something you will really appreciate. Do you remember some of those older design programs whose printed output looked like something a 3 year old did in heavy black crayon? Forget those days, because Home Architect’s hard copy is crisp, clean, and professional in appearance.

  	In summary, this package is well thought out and pays close attention to all the little details so many other graphic programs forget about. If you are an architect, real estate agent, real estate appraiser, someone designing and building your own home, or one who just enjoys home designs, then this intuitive and easy to use program is definitely for you.

APC BACK-UPS 650

a review by Bob Gollihur

It’s not a question of if, but of when. Might be an accident, or an electric company lineman making changes. Perhaps a lightning strike or a UFO passing overhead — who knows? Whatever the case, you are inevitably going to lose power or be struck with a fatal power spike at a critical moment. And a moment is all that it takes to lose valuable data and bits of hardware. Maybe it’s time for a tangible insurance policy — an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

Something not so obvious, and that you may ordinarily not notice, are brownouts. These “power sags” comprise 87% of line disturbances, according to a Bell Labs’ study, and can wreak havoc with computing. Surges, even minor ones, are another danger to your equipment and data.

For the uninitiated and those who haven’t visited the genre in a while, a state-of-the-art UPS is more than just a battery in a box that maintains power to your PC when the main stops delivering the juice. The newest units are power managers, with automatic voltage regulation, surge protection, noise filtering, and the ability to interact with your operating system. It pays to look carefully at the specifications and capabilities of units you consider.

When I decided to protect my machines and data, I turned to American Power Conversion’s Back-UPS 650. It’s compact, powerful enough for my personal needs, interactive, and is Windows 95 plug and play compatible. It’s true — after I connected the serial cable to my computer and rebooted, the unit was immediately recognized as new hardware.

UPS units have certainly shrunk since I last was in the market. This device is a mere 6.6 x 4.7 x 14.5 inches, weighing in at just short of 25 pounds. The nicely styled, computer-colored case has but four LEDs around its power switch, indicating on-line (normal power status), on-battery, overload (the load exceeds the unit’s capabilities), and replace battery. The rear of the unit contains four grounded outlets, a serial cable interface, the circuit breaker reset, and two RJ-45/RJ-11 combination jacks for network (10Base-T) or modem/telephone system protection. A site-wiring fault indicator is also included to detect any grounding or reverse-polarity problems with the power outlet into which the UPS is plugged. The modest size of the APC Back-UPS 650 made finding an out-of-the-way floor location easy.

This particular model comes in 280, 420, 1000, and 1400VA capacities as well, so you can order a capacity for virtually any need. Specifications and further information on these and other APC products are available at their World Wide Web site or direct from the company; contact information is at the close of this review. The 650VA (410W) unit was recommended to me by APC to support my two workstations. The two, generously-outfitted Pentium systems, each with their own 17” monitors, are handled without any sign of overload.

The APC Back-UPS 650 maintains its reliability through a number of design features, which they term as CellGuard™ Intelligent Battery Management. While the sealed, maintenance-free lead acid batteries are user-replaceable, reliability is enhanced by a 14 day automatic self-test, redundant overcharge protection, continuous non-pulsed charging, brownout and deep discharge correction, and battery exhaustion protection.

PowerChute® Pro is the software supplied with the APC Back-UPS 650 to allow the UPS to work hand in hand with the computer. It includes two main components:

The UPS Monitoring Module communicates with the UPS and the next module. It logs events, notifies you if the system is about to be shut down (see graphic), and then effects the shutdown of the Operating System when necessary.

PowerChute Pro® is the User Interface Module, pictured above. It includes configuration options to automatically shut down a computer after ‘x’ seconds or when the power being delivered from the APC Back-UPS 650 has reached the danger level. It also logs events and performs diagnostics, and can even perform a scheduled shutdown.

The interface and software are not, of course, necessary to receive protection from the APC Back-UPS 650. My initial use of the unit was simply as that proverbial “battery in a box.” I plugged in the two PCs and monitors, allowed time for the unit to be fully charged, and, of course, while wincing — pulled the plug. It beeped periodically to warn me that I was on battery power, but the monitor didn’t even minutely flicker when I severed the power.

After installing the interface cable and PowerChute® Pro and configured the software, I did the same thing. Again, no visible indication, except that the software notified me that operations were about to be terminated. Sure enough, Windows 95 was exited and the power removed. Naturally, only the PC connected to the UPS will benefit from the shutdown technology in my case. However, I seldom leave my machines on when I am not on the premises, so it is not a concern. The APC Back-UPS 650 includes software for use with Windows 3.1, 95, NT, and OS/2, so you should pretty much be covered no matter what your preference. Software for other operating systems and networks are also available.

The power is pretty dependable in my area, except during the summer when the occasional inebriated or age-impaired tourist takes out a power pole. However, just days after I installed the unit, the power blinked on and off several times one morning. I can’t tell you how good it felt to be able to continue to work without fear. Under ordinary circumstances my understandable paranoia would have kept me away from the PC, or at least critical work. It has also allowed me to continue to work when storms are in the vicinity, where I used to terminate operations upon their approach. The confidence factor alone may be worth the purchase price.

American Power Conversion seems pretty confident with the product, too. Enough to offer not only a two year warranty, but also a $25,000 Lifetime Equipment Protection Policy. I’m glad to have added the APC Back-UPS 650 to my list of equipment.

TIMEX DATA LINK

a review by Ted Tatman

For somebody who spends most of his free time plopped down in front of a computer, I can be very disorganized. As long as I’m on my home computer, all of my upcoming appointment info I need is a couple of mouse clicks away. But, when I’m away and need that information, I have to check my trusty Daytimer clone (and you thought only IBM computers have clones) — if I remember to bring it with me (and can read my own writing, which is actually the hard part). A notebook computer or one of those mini-computer electronic organizers work for a lot of people, but not for me. So, when I heard about the Timex Data Link watch, I became immediately interested. This little gizmo could solve my problems (well, some of them).

The Timex Data Link watch lets you take your most important personal and scheduling data (that you normally keep on your computer) wherever you go. The information is transferred from your computer to the watch without wires or cables. You point your watch at your monitor, and a light sensor on the watch’s face reads your data in the form of flashing lights.

The Timex Data Link software was co-written by Microsoft and Timex, and it’s simple and straightforward. When you start it up, you see buttons to access Appointments, Anniversaries, Time Settings, Phone Numbers, To-Do Lists, Alarms, and Send To Watch areas. You can store a combination of appointments, phone numbers, anniversaries & birthdays, alarms, time settings and to-do lists. You can store up to 70 entries on the watch. A fuel-gauge graphic on the software shows you how much info is stored, and how much more room you have left in the watch’s memory. On the watch, a friendly reminder icon pops up a week before an anniversary event and flashes on the extra day. And the watch beeps to let you know it’s time to leave for an appointment or event.

You don’t have to send the contents of the whole software’s database to the watch each time. You select exactly what info to update, and in some cases you can just send information for a certain time period, like a day, week, month, etc. This is good, because if you’ve got a lot going on in your life, you can fill up the 70 entry limit very quickly. Most times you don’t need to know what’s going on 7 months from now, anyway. (Of course, in some companies you don’t know what’s going on 7 days from now.)

When you enter the Send To Watch area, the software prompts you to put your watch in “Comm Ready” mode and to hold it up to the monitor, between 6 - 12 inches from the screen. When you click on “OK” the computer screen goes black, and then displays thin horizontal white lines (it’s sort of like bar code) which the watch senses and stores as new data. The watch beeps throughout the process, and after a few seconds you’re done and your watch’s database is successfully updated.

Besides its information storage capabilities, the Timex Data Link is a full function watch that’s available in 5 styles It has the well publicized Indiglo night-light feature so that you can view the watch’s display easily in low or no-light situations. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, and includes calendar functions, 12 and 24 hour formats, dual-time zone feature, 5 programmable alarms and an hour chime. Both the time and 5 alarms can be set right on the watch, or can be set from your PC. For instance, I call the Naval Observatory with my computer from time to time to set the computer’s clock to the exact time, and then download the time to the watch. Neat!

All you need to run the Timex Data Link software is a PC that runs Windows 3.1 or higher (it works fine with Windows 95) and a desktop VGA (or better) CRT monitor (the typical computer monitor, in other words) and at least 4 meg of memory. You can run the software on IBM compatible laptops, but you can’t transfer data to the watch unless your laptop is hooked up to a desktop CRT monitor. By the way, if you have Microsoft’s Schedule + for Win95, you’ll find that the watch’s information transfer technology has been included in that program.

I found the Timex Data Link very handy. I’ve starting storing all my upcoming appointments in it, plus I am planning to input family birthdays and anniversaries as well as important telephone numbers. Now, you can take important info with you no matter where you go and it’ll always be just a wrist away.

VISIONEER PAPERPORT VX

a review by Ed Rasimus & Ed Hoffman

Bringing home a new hardware goodie to add to the computer setup is always an ambivalent experience for me. The joy and anticipation of using a new gadget is tempered by the knowledge that I’m going to have to rummage around in the interior of my computer, fiddle with minuscule jumpers and dip switches, and eventually go through a total re-configuration of my system seeking a compatible IRQ/DMA. I know that eventually it is going to work, but there is going to be a lot of hassle in the meantime.

Well, rejoice! The Visioneer PaperPort Vx pass-through scanner is definitely NOT one of those nasty pieces of hardware. This is what “plug-n-play” is supposed to look like and I don’t even have a PNP machine.

Visioneer has been the leader in a new category of low-cost, high-efficiency scanners for use with personal computers. The first PaperPort, release more than a year ago, has fostered nearly a dozen look-alike competitors: small scanners that accept full size sheets of paper and pass them through back to the user. These machines recover the acres of workspace consumed by a flat-bed scanner and eliminate the hassles of hand-helds. Now, Visioneer has raised the bar another notch.

The PaperPort Vx is slightly smaller than a carton of cigarettes, about 12 inches long by 2.5 inches deep by 3.75 inches high. It is designed to sit conveniently between your keyboard and monitor without blocking either. It comes out of the box with a serial port cable, a power cord and, if necessary, a 9 to 25 pin adapter. The PaperPort is accompanied by Visioneer’s own PaperPort software, as well as two utility programs: Picture Works, which links your scanner and printer to function as a copy machine and Card Scan, which manages scanned business cards.

Installation is incredibly simple. Put away the screwdriver and relax. Simply plug the serial cable into an available serial port, and plug the power cord into an outlet. If your computer doesn’t have an extra serial port, a parallel port adapter is available, but must be mail-ordered from the manufacturer. A short, two-second hum from the scanner tells you it is receiving power.

PaperPort software takes up 8 MB of disk space and a total of about five minutes to install. The setup will find the scanner and set the detected port for the software. Necessary file changes are made by the program with autoexec backed up and Windows 95 registry taken care of. Your computer is restarted and you are ready to scan. Total time from out of the box to first scanned document shouldn’t exceed ten minutes including reading the instructions.

With its convenient position in front of your monitor, you won’t hesitate to use the PaperPort. Merely feed a document or picture into the front slot. A sensor turns the scanner on and activates the software. A typical 8½ x 11 page will scan in about three seconds. Photos at 256 grey scale will take longer. An onscreen progress monitor will show you what’s occurring. Upon completion of the scan, the PaperPort desktop launches.

If the ease of installation didn’t impress, I guarantee that the software will. The desktop offers total control of your scanned-in documents. A folder system allows for management of everything you will find to save on your computer. Folder names allow for 30 characters so you can be fairly detailed in your organization. Links are automatic to most major word-processing programs as well as to spreadsheets, fax, e-mail and printers. Drag and drop a document from the desktop to your word processor and you will initiate OmniPage Lite OCR and launch the word processing program. By the time launch is complete you will be dealing with an editable page.

If you don’t need full edit, an annotation layer offers a great selection of tools for document mark-up, including “sticky-notes.” Limited text entry, such as for completing a form can be easily accomplished in the annotation layer. Circle this, draw a box around that, shade or highlight something else all within PaperPort. Fill the form, then drag it to the fax button or the printer and the program automatically launches the appropriate device.

Multiple page documents are kept together and dealt with as a unit, merely by “stacking” the scanned pages. Zoom in or out and rotate if needed. If an image is scanned crooked, the software can “straighten” it, if it’s dirty, the software can “clean” the page. When you finish with a document merely drag it to a folder. Clicking on a folder displays all of the contained documents on the desktop. To search all the folders for an item, click the “browse” button, or do a detailed search of documents through the “find” dialog. The only shortcoming I could find is that folders can’t be nested. They are, however, automatically arranged in alphabetical order.

Since it is likely that the PaperPort desktop will become a routine work area, you can also “print” to the desktop from your other document applications. Finished with a graphic? Print it to PaperPort for filing, faxing or markup. Want to take a scanned graphic and rework it with graphics software? PaperPort will export in most file formats used by both PC and Mac. Put your responses in the same folder, stacked with the original letter to keep all records in one place. Getting data from a spreadsheet to respond to an inter-office memo? Put it all in a PaperPort folder.

The pass-through scanner is a convenient tool for getting paper into your computer. The Visioneer PaperPort Vx is a well-designed product which does more than is expected of it. It is convenient, easy-to-install, easy-to-use, and easy-to-learn. For most of us, the PaperPort scanner is going to be like a microwave or a VCR, something we were sure we didn’t need, but once we have used one, we will never again be without.

These two gentlemen from Colorado aggressively pursued all possible uses for the PaperPort, including running a slice of stuffed crust pizza through the slot and then trying to change the image from pepperoni to sausage. The results were described as “half-baked.”


CLICKART ART PARTS CD-ROM PLUS

a review by Ted Tatman

If you're a collector of high quality clip art and are always on the lookout for something “different”, check out the ClickArt Art Parts CD-ROM Plus from T/Maker. On one disk you'll find 300 of some of the most interesting pieces of electronic art ever created. All have been done in a style that reminds you of old woodblock engravings; yet, they have a modern look to them. Somehow these pieces manage to look classic and trendy at the same time.

All of the artwork in this collection was penned by just two artists, so there is a definite similarity in style among all the images. And even though a 300 image collection might sound puny in these days of CD-ROM collections of thousands of clip art pieces, if you deal with graphics a lot you're sure to find a use for nearly all of these unique creations.

All images are in black & white WMF (Windows Metafile) format, and 100 of the images are also supplied as color WMF files. A DOS based utility is bundled to convert the images into other graphics formats as well.

Categories in ClickArt Art Parts include Animals, Arrows, Borders & Framers, Business, Holidays, Household, Office, People, Sports & Leisure, Symbols, and Travel. A printed “Visual Index” is provided for quick reference. Plus, a copy of Power Album 1.03 (a very fine graphics organizer) is included for easy on-screen browsing and cutting and pasting of the artwork.

Also provided is the Regular Joe TrueType font, a printed handwriting font which perfectly compliments the pictures in the collection. You see it as the caption for the picture on this page. All in all, ClickArt Art Parts is a fun collection for the serious clip art collector.

DIGITAL IMAGES: A PRACTICAL GUIDE

a review by Chris McKittrick

The field of computer graphics is a constantly changing and endlessly fascinating part of computer work. The digital images created by computers are responsible for much of what we see in advertising, television commercials, magazine covers and illustrations. Likewise they also play a major role in the special effects seen in many recent movie releases. This realm of computer use can sometimes be complex and at times may seem a little overwhelming. But, if you desire a greater understanding of these effects, I would like to suggest a book that is very helpful in illustrating some of the more detailed aspects of digital imaging. The book is titled Digital Images: A Practical Guide and contains a wealth of information about creating, digitizing, downloading, animating, and outputting graphics.

This particular book is not for experts, but rather for the individual or small business needing information about graphics. Virtually all hardware and software topics are fully covered along with many suggestions to obtain the best possible results. Digital Images applies to both the Mac and the PC, covering the advantages to be found with each system. Because most readers do not use a single type of computer or computer software, Digital Images gives full descriptions of the hardware and software requirements for both the Mac and the PC.

The format of this book presents the information in a step-wise, building-block sort of fashion. Initially it explains the basics of image creation with respect to pixels and color definition. A description of the importance and application of image resolution follows, before going on to explain other higher, more subtle aspects of graphics imaging. This order of information is designed to greatly enhance the readers knowledge, while attempting to answer all questions pertaining to the subject matter.

Digital Images goes into great detail about video boards, RAM, CPU’s, monitors, and the interrelationship of the basic items so necessary to produce the images you desire from your computer. For example, something that scored high on my “gee whiz” meter was the digital camera. I had no idea that something like this even existed. A digital camera, in short, takes a picture just as a normal camera does, but with one significant difference: a digital camera uses no film. Instead it copies the image to a very small hard disk inside the camera and makes the image available to download into your computer. The digital camera is quite useful for capturing images that just won’t fit under your flatbed scanner cover.

Once the image is converted to a format that your computer recognizes, it can then be edited or modified to meet your requirements. Digital Images also gives detailed descriptions of the most popular software available for these purposes. All of the advantages and capabilities of each package are listed and explained. The book also offers a variety of tips and advice from professionals about using these programs. This wealth of information can help to ensure that you’ll get just the right software to suit both your applications and budget.

As I ventured further into the book, I discovered a great deal of practical information about the overall use of computer graphics. Digital Images contains a very comprehensive array of facts and data related to all faucets of computer graphics. From basic artwork and photos, to creating your own digital images and producing and manipulating computer graphics, everything you’ll need to know is in this book. Related topics, such as scanning and video capture, obtaining stock graphics, and getting started with 3D and multimedia programs are also fully covered. Digital Images is a well illustrated and easy to follow arsenal of tips, tricks, and advice for anyone interested in computer graphics.

Writers Wanted
 YOU can join the Windows OnLine™ Staff Team!

Do you like to test Windows programs? Do you enjoy sharing your adventures with the latest Windows hardware and software? We are always interested in quality Freelance and Staff writers for our magazine. 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.

Call Windows OnLine (BBS 510-736-8343) and gain immediate access to the Writers Conference #4 (J 4). Download WOLWRIT2.ZIP for a brief writers guide. Leave a Sysop Comment for Senior Staff Writer Ed Hoffman or Editor Bob Gollihur. You can become part of the team!

Wolly RealWorld
Wolly looks at many cool shareware programs (and a lot of turkeys, too). But some programs strike him as really special — a real world application with a real world use. In Wolly’s opinion, this is one of them.


SWAuthors
Want Your Program Featured or in the Shareware Briefs??

Each month Wolly and our Staff Writers look at newer programs that have been posted on Windows OnLine™. Your program could be included. How???

UPLOAD your creation to Windows OnLine™ by calling 510-736-8343 immediately upon availability; snailmail* if you must. Join the AUTHORS’ HAVEN Conference #2 (J 2) and leave a message to solicit a review. If you plan to be a more frequent visitor and correspondent with our Staff, leave a message to Senior Staff Writer Ed Hoffman or Editor Bob Gollihur to be upgraded to a half-hour daily.

Mail registered copies (which will be offered to the staff), and supplementary material such as press releases, etc., to the Editor at the postal address shown:

Bob Gollihur, Editor	(609) 624-1470 - fax (609) 624-3646
WinOnLine Review Editorial Offices	CIS 71334,2065  -  bob.gollihur@wol.com
Seven Baywyn Drive, Ocean View, NJ  08230-1060	(do not e-mail files)
*If you must snailmail rather than upload, address shareware disks with files zipped and ready to be posted, to: Windows OnLine, PO Box 3487, Danville, CA 94526

Late betas may be submitted but only final copies will trigger a review publication. Mail early for arrival coincident with your program upload to Windows OnLine™. Submission is no guarantee of a review, but all current Windows shareware newly uploaded to WIndows OnLine appears in the New Files column.
