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.

Publisher's Desk
      PUBLISHER’S DESK

Windows OnLine™ (BBS) continues to work with Concentric Research (the BBS Direct folks) to offer full 28.8 SLIP internet services from our Danville, CA. location. We will soon offer Windows Internet software to startup accounts. As we said last month, we hope to soon bring you the ability to access Windows OnLine (BBS) through the Internet via a Telnet session. We have had many inquiries and requests for this capability. We are sure that this service will save you money since you’ll be able to access WOL through a local call to an Internet provider (if you are not in our area.)

Don't forget to visit our home page at http://www.cris.com/wol where you’ll find some issues you can read with your favorite web browser, as well as having the ability to download all of our past issues.

We expect to present a blockbuster WOLR next month as we reach the incredible milestone of Issue 100! It’s our pleasure to continue to bring you the best, most honest, and unbiased (except for Wolly) reviews every month.

SHAREWARE BRIEFS

Quick Takes and Pure Opinion from Wolly

 CIS SRCH

File Cabinet Searcher

Living in the “information age” is truly wonderful — except when you’re trying to find something. CisSrch solves one of those problems handily: how do you find specific messages that are squirreled away in the dusty corners of your WinCIM file cabinets? Have you ever tried? Select all or just some of your folders, and get really precise or stay general with your search criteria, with ands, ors, ifs, and choices of message text or specific fields. Watch as it dives in and quickly returns the messages that match up. When you register CISSRC20.ZIP (209K) for $25.00 you’ll be able to easily view the content of the messages you’ve found, too. Wolly appoints CisSrch a “Real World” application that has earned a place on his drive, where it will see frequent use.

PAPER TRAIL

Follow it back to paper

With more and more programs coming out with documentation manuals skinnier than the 3.5 disks that the program is on, you have to rely on Help files more and more. Many folks just can't get along without their paper, and printing out topic after topic for reference use is a hobby that requires great patience. WexTech Systems, Inc., creators of the help-authoring DocToHelp (reviewed in WOLR93) and Smooth Scaling (featured in last month's WOLR) have come out with a freeware solution that you're gonna love. Paper Trail decompiles Windows 3.0 and 3.1 help files and spits it out in the form of an RTF (Rich Text File, that most word processors can read) that even includes the graphics, along with all the colors, fonts, and formatting. That way, you can edit a help file into a “manual” of sorts and print it for your reference. PAPER.ZIP (725K) also extracts all the bitmaps, including any SHG graphics, and baggage files into the directory you specify. This utility was essentially designed by the Wextech folks for Help Gurus who needed to decompile a help file whose source may have been lost, so they could get an easier start on recreating or modifying it with their product. Anywho, it could be a handy utility for nearly anybody to have on the shelf, and a big Wolly thanks to Wextech.

COFFEE TIMER

Perk up!

This is a cute little freeware timer. The gimmick is that the animated coffeemaker icon makes percolator sounds 30 second prior to sounding the pleasant alarm, and you can adjust the number of times you want it repeated. Okay, CFTIME.ZIP (99K) isn’t going to change anyone’s life, but Wolly liked it. So there. BTW, you may not have the runtime required for this program since it is for Japanese Visual Basic. Pick up VBRJ200.ZIP (218K) while you’re at it.

 BOARD GAMES FOR 2

Modem me

This group of eight games includes chess, checkers, backgammon, goban, and more; while you can look at all of them, you can only play checkers until you send in your $14.95. While Wolly didn’t have the test time nor partner to check it out, Board Games for 2 can connect you with the other side of the board through a network or dial-up, with a nice datacomm module for settings. BGF2_W95.ZIP (395K) is Wolly’s first example of the avalanche of Windows 95 shareware we’re sure to see in the next few months. Yep, you’ll read about it here.

click me!

SCAN4DLL

Who’s out there?

Want to find out which DLL and VBX files are being called by a particular application, to aid in an uninstall or diagnoses? Zero in on the file and let SCAN4DLL.ZIP (37K) do its work, returning a list that Wolly wishes he could print, or at least copy. He won’t complain too loudly, ’cause after all, it’s freeware from Software Innovations.

TRUETYPE FONTS

   Braille Kiama 89LKIAMA.ZIP (10K)

   CAS_INIT.ZIP (13K)

   WGLFON.ZIP (103K)

(also includes Type 1)

Please check files for registration details if you decide to use any font shown.

CNE ENDEAVOR

Wanna job? Ya' gotta network

Browse the help wanted ads and you'll find CNE’s in big demand. Want one? All you have to know is everything about Novell you were afraid to ask. CNEENDVB.EXE (1364K) is a real monster of a drilling program that tracks your progress. Select from an armful of topics and subtopics, fill in the answers, and compare it to CNE Endeavor’s responses. Rank it as correct, partial or incorrect. Need more study? Click on cross-reference to locate the page number the topic is discussed in Novell’s CNE Study Guide. Set the Focus Area for emphasis on your weak areas as you retake the tests. Register CNE Endeavor for $89.95 and you’ll get the latest version, with over 3200 questions. When you get that new gig, don’t forget to send Wolly his commission.

MAXIT

Blow it up!

Annoyed by apps that don’t fill the screen? Tired of maximizing, maximizing, maximizing? Just place MaxIt at the start of your command line, and BOOM, there you go! Okay, not exciting, but effective. Register MAXIT11.ZIP (41K) for $10.00 if it calls to you.

OFFICE DARTS

Cool

Finally, an alternative for those in the office who don’t play golf. The throws are a bit tricky to master, so this game takes some skill and can build some true competition in the ranks. There are a bunch of game variations, though until you send in your $17 to register, you can only play a game called 301. One to four players, including the computer, can play, and there’s even WAV sound effects. OD301V25.ZIP (268K) is nicely written and could be a real office hit, much to the dismay of management. Now, if they could only come up with Office Beer as an add-on, we’d have perfection!

SQUAT FOR WINDOWS

You say ProgMan is worth squat?

Is your Program Manager getting a bit flabby? Well, let’s get some exercise and tighten up a bit. No, Wolly is not making this up. How could he? FLXGRP10.ZIP (40K) makes all the group icons in Program Manager do squats. See — told you I couldn’t make this up. If this doesn’t throw that serious-minded accountant in the next cube for a loop, I don’t know what will. Fun freeware from Free Soft.

MORTGAGE RATIO MODELER

For the mansion on the hill

Yep, it’s house time again! Rates have moved down into that magic range again, and may (may is the magic mystery word) drop slightly further, so it’s appropriate to take notice of programs like Mortgage Ratio Modeler. Pre-qualifying yourself can be a good idea — determining the range of house for which you can get a loan. Most intelligent real estate folks will do it for you, since they don’t want to try to sell you on a house you if can’t get a mortgage for it because you either don’t have the income or have BMWed yourself out of contention. MTGQL1_1.ZIP (203K) does a pretty nice job, allowing for entry of percentage instead of real dollars for many appropriate fields, keep defaults, entry of a customer name, and save and print a real pretty presentation the whole mess. Yep, if a real estate person doesn’t have such a program, this is worth considering. Wolly’s only reluctance is the quirky way the autoformat reacts to direct entry of numbers. You’d also better know what those ratios mean, because the docs won’t tell you. However, for a pro, the $10.95 registration could be a real bargain.

 Wolly sez...

click me!

SONIC SCREWDRIVER

Dr. Who?

No, not that handy device, but definitely a super sound editor for WAV files. Open multiple sounds and play with each, converting their sampling rates, mono/stereo, 8/16 bit, and inflict some great effects on them. Sonic Screwdriver has one of the best echoes Wolly has heard, and has most all the audio bells and whistles one could want. Registration is UK £14-95, and includes a Sound Source CD ROM; opt to exclude the CD and pay only UK £7-50. SONICS11.ZIP (195K) is definitely worth a look-see by the WAV fans in the crowd.

TURBO PRIN CHNG

Printers on a platter

Suffering from an overabundance of printers and overwhelming annoyance with the way Windows handles the changes between them? TurboPrnChng places a little, movable graphic on your screen, poised to take a click from your right mouse button. TPC25.ZIP (27K) leaps into action and delivers all your printers on a platter for picking, access to setups, print manager, a way to get out, and more, all for just $15.00.

WIN SAVER

Fourteen in One

Sometimes you just want an ordinary, but non-boring screen saver. One that doesn’t require you shut everything down to accommodate its resource needs, attract the attention of airplanes flying overhead, or cost more than the monitor it allegedly protects. Here’s one now. Be advised, however, that it does a lot more than just what the illustration shows. We’ve got colored worms, we have screen distortions, windows going negative and bouncing around, screen blocks exchanging places, multicolored springs, and bunches of other stuff that automatically changes as the mood strikes it. All fourteen variations are at the very least acceptable, and most are downright pretty, interesting, or at least neat. Best of all WSAVER40.ZIP (20K) is only $5.00.

USEFUL UTILITIES

a review by Ed Hoffman

Undoubtedly, one of the more fun parts of doing these reviews is rummaging around looking for useful shareware programs. Regardless of how many programs I have loaded, I’ve found I always seem to have room for a few more good utilities. Typically, the criteria I use when selecting these utilities is relatively simple. First, the program must do what it says it will do and second, it should do it better than others in the same category. I specifically like single function programs more than those that attempt to do everything possible within a single program. Single function utilities tend to take up less space and are normally easier to use. Multi-function programs often have many features that I don’t need. So, rather than having a ten function program that contains only two utilities that I use, I’d much prefer to use the individual utilities. But that’s not to say there aren’t many good multi-function programs around. In fact, I have a few of these on my system. If I use more than half of the utilities in a multi-function program, I’ll usually register the whole program, despite not using all its features.

The following are a pair of Useful Utilities I’ve recently come upon that you may wish to consider for your system. These programs are WinBoot 2.0™ and ShortHand 3.0. Both these programs offer remarkable utility and usefulness. Fortunately, these utilities are quite small and unobtrusive. So even if you only have minimal space on your hard drive, the approximately 400kb required by WinBoot 2.0 and the 250kb ShortHand 3.0 should not be too much of a burden on your system. WinBoot 2.0, as its name describes, is a boot utility that allows you to keep multiple AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS system setups. The ShortHand 3.0 utility helps make you more efficient by typing complete words, sentences, or paragraphs, from a simple keyword. I like both of these utilities and I’m hard pressed to decide which I like more. For this reason, both the WinBoot 2.0 and ShortHand 3.0 programs are recipients of the “Works For Me” award.

  WinBoot 2.0

The more equipment, programs, and peripherals you add to your computer, the more grief you’re likely to have from your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. Soon after getting my first PC, I quickly learned this valuable lesson. Often, these problems can be surmounted, or at least tolerated, by simply using two different sets of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

Presently, I use a copy of Norton Backup for DOS to make backup disk copies of my work files. If I load the Norton Backup with my normal system configuration, the program refuses to recognize that my G drive is a CD, and insists on trying to load all the information. Initially, as a work around, I’d go into my AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and REMARK out all lines that made reference to the CD. As you might suspect this quickly became quite a nuisance. So, I began to look for a method of automating this task. After trying many different programs, I’ve settled on WinBoot 2.0.

The WinBoot 2.0 program makes these switches both quite easy and very convenient, since it works directly from within Windows. Unlike several other similar programs I’ve tried, I can access the WinBoot 2.0 program without leaving Windows. Once I make the switch, I also have most of the alternate AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files set to return the system to Windows as they finish.

When started, the WinBoot 2.0 utility presents a dialog box with a series of nine buttons. Each of these can be configured and named to suit the specific combinations of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files you require for each specific setup. The buttons may be named anything you wish, but something more descriptive of the applications involved would probably work best.

The editing dialog box in the WinBoot 2.0 program is also straightforward and easy to navigate. I especially like the feature that allows you to load an existing AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS file. These can then be edited, rather than rewritten for each set. A tab bar along the bottom of the dialog box allows you to setup different groups, or categories of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS file combinations. Each of these sets is shown with a tab. As each of these tabs is selected a new page of nine buttons is presented. No matter how large your system is, I doubt anyone would ever use all the possible combinations available with the WinBoot 2.0 utility.

  ShortHand 3.0

Anyone familiar with today’s newer word processing programs quickly learns to rely on the text correction features built into these programs. In Word for Windows 6.0, this feature is called Auto Correct. So, should you type “teh” the program automatically changes it to “the”. This same feature is also quite useful for replacing text in your documents. So, for example, when I type “wol” and hit the space bar, the Auto Correct utility automatically retypes “Windows OnLine”. I’ve really come to rely on this simple feature and it has saved me many hours of typing the same name or phrase over and over.

Unfortunately though, not all the Windows programs I use incorporate this useful feature. Specifically, two programs I’d really like to use this feature with are my invoicing program and a label program I often use. Well, after scouting around for a while, and trying to adapt a wide range of clipboard utilities for this purpose, I found the ShortHand 3.0 utility. Though not quite as automatic as Word’s Auto Correct feature, this utility has greatly simplified many of my everyday tasks.

The ShortHand 3.0 program is quite simple and straight forward to setup. The various entries and keywords are entered through the dictionary feature. You simply type the keyword that identifies each entry and the text that the keyword represents. Once this is done, the program is ready for you to use. In use, the program is activated with a hotkey. I seldom use the equal sign (=) on my keyboard, so I’ve selected this as my hotkey. When pressed, the ShortHand program automatically pops ups. You then type in the key word and it automatically appears in the Text to type window. This allows you to verify that this is the correct text. Once you’re satisfied that the text is what you want, click on the Type It button and the text is instantly placed in your program.

Clicking on the Hide button minimizes the program and the Date button automatically inserts the date in your program. This alone is a real time saver for me when typing invoices. The ShortHand program works with virtually any Windows program. I’ve also found it quite beneficial when combined with a technical illustration program I frequently use. The utility allows me to add repeated callouts and similar text to a variety of graphics. I only need to type this information once, not the 10-20 times per project, in my old pre-ShortHand days.

Both of these programs are well written and thoroughly documented. So, if you frequently find yourself switching between several AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files or retyping the same information over and over, you may wish to download and test drive the WinBoot 2.0 and ShortHand 3.0 utilities for yourself. These two programs have certainly made my keyboard work much simpler and less taxing on both my fingers and my little mind. Both have earned a permanent home on my system.

WAYFARER

a review by David Morgan

One of the joys of this job is sharing with you programs I find that are true “gems.” These programs stand out from others in any number of significant ways, but the important thing about them is that they do indeed standout. A few issues ago, I told you about one such gem called Stiletto that just happens to be freeware. Stiletto is a feature-rich, well designed and implemented launch bar that is actually useful, unlike so many launch bars. The author of that program, Bruce Switzer, passed on the name of a program he uses with Stiletto and suggested I have a look. When the program recently arrived here at Windows OnLine, I checked it out, and this program is fantastic! Now I get to share another Freeware gem with you!

The program is called Wayfarer (version 2.2) and it’s a replacement for both Program Manager and Task Manager. You’ve probably come across hundreds of these in your shareware explorations. I certainly have, but not as well thought-out, brilliantly designed or as intuitive to use as this one. It provides a way to launch and manage applications that is easily accessible yet unobtrusive, powerful yet user-friendly, and one that actually works! Instead of Program Manager groups, Wayfarer uses Folders to contain and organize programs. Task Management functions are handled using a button bar, called a “Yardstick,” that appears along the bottom of the screen and displays all running applications as buttons instead of desktop icons.

When running, a left-click on Wayfarer’s desktop or toolbar icon opens the main folder. Like Program Manager’s main window, the main folder provides access to other folders that, like Program Manager groups can be used to organize and launch programs or document from icons. Unlike Program Manager, however, folders can be configured in a variety of ways.

This very basic folder shows only program and document icons. Notice some of the appearance options displayed in this folder. The Program Manager object appears as a raised button with red font. Both the File Manager icon and description are shadowed. Print Manager’s font is “embossed” or outlined and shadowed. The Readme file uses Courier font. Finally, Setup appears as a recessed object. These are only a few of the many appearance options available in Wayfarer.

Unlike Program Manager groups, however, Wayfarer folders can contain other folders (called sub-folders) which in turn can contain other sub-folders and so on. This allows a hierarchical organization of objects rather than the “flat” approach offered by Program Manager. Folders can be resized, moved, “pinned” to the desktop so they remain always open, and as shown above, configured in a variety of other ways.

The surface area of a folder is called a panel. Panels can be sub-divided into additional panels that are individually sizable and scrollable. These “tiled regions” are separated by “splitter bars” that can be dragged with the mouse to adjust the relative sizes of adjacent panels. The example below demonstrates how panels are used to further organize and customize folders.

This folder shows five separate panels. The Sub Folders panel contains four sub-folders. The Applications panel shows only program icons, or in this case, miniature icons called “gadgets.” The Writing Tools panel shows programs and selected gadgets. The Browser Panel shows part of my Windows directory as displayed using one of eleven present display configurations. Finally, the Tab Panel shows three separate panels each containing an imported Program Manager group. There are three types of panels available for configuring folders as described below.

General Panels

The General Panel is the default and is similar to a Program Manager group. It lets you create individual program and document icons in addition to sub-folders.

Browser Panels

The Browser Panel is similar to File Manager in that the panel displays a list of files within a directory that match a user-specified criterion. The Browser Panel’s content, layout and appearance are fully configurable. You can set which types of files are shown and the appearance and labeling information for the displayed files. Wayfarer can also display a Drive Map of available disk drives.

Tab Panels

The Tab Panel allows a group of panels to be stacked on top of one another. A set of “tabs” stick out of the top of the stack, allowing individual panels to be brought to the top and used. This is similar to the functioning of a Rolodex.

Setup and configuration are a breeze. An import feature allows your existing Program Manager groups to be converted into Wayfarer folders one at a time or all at once. Right-clicking on any Wayfarer object reveals a pop-up properties menu for that object. From this menu, appearance options and folder behavior options are configured. As you can see, it offers a wide range of options for controlling the appearance of individual icons and descriptions. For each icon you can choose the exact size, color, font and position of the icon’s descriptive text. Special effects are available, including shadows, 3-D borders, and embossing as previously mentioned. Wayfarer is furnished with some pretty cool icons as well an extensive collection of “gadgets.” These smaller-than-usual icon images are displayed below.

Finally, Wayfarer uses what it calls The Yardstick to manage running tasks and control desktop behavior. In addition to letting you quickly switch between running applications, it provides the capability to minimize, maximize or tile all running applications. Running applications are displayed as a set of toolbar buttons spread along the bottom of the screen, much like Windows 95. The Yardstick slightly reduces the size of the desktop so that the toolbar remains visible at all times and is not obscured by maximized windows.

Wayfarer handles both program and task management beautifully. Every facet of this program, from the icons to the help file are first-rate. The only thing more impressive than the program itself is the fact that it’s free. The man responsible for giving us this program, Iain Clifford Heath, deserves not only praise for a terrific program, but thanks for making it free to all of us. Generosity such as his deserves recognition, praise and appreciation from all computer users.

THUMBS+PLUS

a review by Ed Hoffman

One of the most exasperating aspects of working with computers is simply keeping track of the files you need for any project. As a technical writer, I quite frequently work with a variety of document files and graphic files. Fortunately, I usually only have a single document file for each chapter of the books I write. Graphic files, however are a completely different matter, where I usually have upwards of 25 to 100 different graphics for any single chapter. While it might not be too difficult to remember what chapter is based on the DOS 8+3 file naming conventions, it does get confusing trying to creatively name a hundred related graphics. To simplify this process, I have resorted to a simplified system that identifies the specific book or project, the chapter or unit, then the specific graphic within each chapter. This results in a unique alpha-numeric code that may identify the graphic, but cannot describe what it contains.

A drawing of a sailboat, for example is much easier to identify with a name like SAILBOAT.TIF or even S_BOAT.PCX, than it is to visualize the contents of JF-1-087.WMF. To overcome this problem, I found a unique shareware product called ThumbsUp!. This program not only allows me to make order of my chaotic numbering system, but actually shows me the specific graphic. Since its early versions, this program has undergone many changes and improvements. The newest release of this program is available as Thumbs+Plus 2.1. Like its predecessor, this utility is a real boost to my productivity. However, this new edition now contains many new features that offer the user considerably more functionality and flexibility. For these reasons, as well as the overall worth of this shareware gem, the Thumbs+Plus 2.1 program has earned the “Works For Me” award.

Thumbs+Plus 2.1 is a real joy to use. The program has considerable power, yet is very simple to use. All the icons on the button faces relate to the function of the individual buttons. The button with the single thumb, for example, creates a thumbnail of a single image; the button with several thumbs converts the complete directory. Clicking the button with the eye views the selected image. What could be simpler? The rest of the button faces are just as simple and intuitive. Despite this apparent simplicity, the program possesses considerable power.

The Thumbs+Plus 2.1 program is basically a file organizer and pre-viewer. But, with just a little forethought the program can help organize your whole system. Though I use it for strictly graphic files, the program will also display a variety of text file formats as well as other files. This new version will handle approximately 53 different file types, including graphics, text files, images, icons, movies, animations, videos, and even TrueType fonts. Each of these is displayed in a small resizable thumbnail that is about an inch square. The display size can also be set to show the thumbnails at 1X, 1.5X and 2X the normal base size. In addition to simply showing the files, the program also allows you to browse, view, crop, and copy images to the clipboard. The Thumbs+Plus 2.1 program will also launch specific editors associated with each format. Your files can be organized or reorganized by dragging-and-dropping the files between the various directories.

Thumbs+Plus can also be used to create slide shows with selected graphics. The program may even be used to install bitmap files for your Windows wallpaper. Individual graphic files can be printed, or the thumbnails alone may be combined and printed as a graphics catalog. Though not specifically designed as a conversion tool, it can nevertheless, convert any displayed image to the appropriate native windows format, individually or in batches.

The program will perform different actions when a thumbnail is double-clicked. Your options are: View Image, Copy to Clipboard, or Edit Image. If you double-click the window, the image automatically changes to a full screen view. Thumbs+Plus can also be used with any TWAIN-compliant scanner to scan images directly into the program for further processing or storage.

So, if you are working with graphics and need something a bit more powerful than the standard run of the mill viewer, the Thumbs+Plus 2.1 program might be just what you need. I know that I would be lost without my copy. The registered version of the Thumbs+Plus is version 2.1. The shareware version, available on-line, carries a version number of 2.0d. The program has a unique and well written install routine. The program also has a very good help system should you have any questions.

COREL GALLERY 2

a review by Bob Gollihur

As a longtime user of the original Corel Gallery (1), I was simultaneously delighted and just a bit disappointed with Corel Gallery 2. There is much more packed into this latest CD ROM release, but some desirable features, and perhaps its innate simplicity, were left behind. But, on with progress, which is generally a good thing, and to the many desirable features of this latest release.

The original Gallery is a well-indexed clipart collection that deservedly remains near the top of the current best-seller lists. This version ups the ante to 15,000 clipart images, including the 10,000 originally included on Gallery 1. In addition to clipart, you’ll find 500 royalty free photos, 500 TrueType and Type 1 fonts, 75 sound clips, and 10 video clips. Each image and font are catalogued in the 500 page color manual included with Corel Gallery 2; new images are asterisked for your reference.

However, this is not just a CD ROM full of clip files with which you play hide and seek. Corel provides a sophisticated way to manage and use these files and more, and Gallery 1 users will find it totally different (excepting some clipart) than the prior version. Corel Gallery 2 includes application software in the form of a multimedia file manager, for file conversion, TWAIN-compliant scanning, a screen capture utility, and a font manager. Their use, of course, is optional, but they are indeed a large bonus.

The first thing a new user will note is the obvious Windows 95 style of the Corel Gallery 2 interface. Folders abound to represent directories and the drive window begins with the annoying Win95 phrase “My Computer.” A click of the right mouse button on an image brings up a Windows 95-flavored dialog for other quick file actions. It’s easy to see that Corel was striving to blend in with the trend when designing this product, but it does include a disclaimer regarding 32 bit environments. The second item to note is that this CD does not just include artwork and fonts, but a complete system for the management of them and others you have or acquire. Options are well presented in tabbed interfaces.

Thumbnail images are the key component to Corel Gallery 2 and its multimedia file manager. These libraries of images can be browsed, but you’d better have good eyes or an excellent imagination for some illustrations. While they are sizable from 16x16 to 128x128, the pixelized appearances of many are not acceptable for identification (try the aircraft library). Fortunately, the slide show utility allows you to highlight possible choices, whereupon the actual images are then paraded, at a user-defined interval, full screen and in their full glory.

The search mechanism is sophisticated, more so than the original Gallery, but as a result, not as quick and easy to use. As you can see from the dialog, multiple conditions are supported, and you may search by keyword, name, notes, and description, and copy the results to the clipboard. My experience with the keywords already assigned to images has not been all that good, with dismal returns from seemingly logical searches. You can highlight individual volumes (directories) or all within a library to include in a search. Results are returned pretty quickly, and you can highlight individual or all the images found and initiate a slide show from the button bar, which is very helpful in choosing the appropriate file for your project.

The original Corel Gallery was an OLE 1.0 application where you could call the application from within another, compliant application, and select a graphic. Corel Gallery 2 is an OLE 2.0 compatible application, allowing you only to drag and drop an image into a similarly capable application. The emphasis here is on the drag, since the hunger of OLE 2.0 is well known, and results sporadic, not to mention that not every application is friendly with OLE 2.0 at this time. Fortunately, the system has excellent, highly flexible export facilities, which both Corel and I recommend as your best course of action.

Most bitmaps can be exported in the following bitmap file formats:

Windows Bitmap, *.BMP, *.DIB, *.RLE	Paintbrush, *.PCX
CompuServe Bitmap, *.GIF	Scitex CT Bitmap, *.SCT, *.CT
JPEG Bitmap, *.JPG, *.JFF, *.JTF, *.CMP	Targa Bitmap, *.TGA, *.VDA, *.ICB, *.VST
OS/2 Bitmap, *.BMP	TIFF Bitmap, *.TIF

Most vector graphics can be exported in the following bitmap and vector file formats:

Windows Bitmap, *.BMP, *.DIB, *.RLE	Windows Metafile, *.WMF
CompuServe Bitmap, *.GIF	Adobe Illustrator, *.AI, *.EPS
JPEG Bitmap, *.JPG, *.JFF, *.JTF, *.CMP	(only Placeable .EPS files)
OS/2 Bitmap, *.BMP	AutoCAD DXF, *.DXF
Paintbrush, *.PCX	GEM File, *.GEM
Scitex CT Bitmap, *.SCT, *.CT	HPGL Plotter, *.PLT
IBM PIF, *.PIF	Targa Bitmap, *.TGA, *.VDA, *.ICB, *.VST
TIFF Bitmap, *.TIF	Mac PICT, *.PCT
Corel Presentation Exchange, *.CMX	Matrix/Imapro SCODL, *.SCD
Computer Graphics Metafile, *.CGM	WordPerfect Graphic, *.WPG

The export dialog offers a wide range of options. Rather than requiring further manipulation, Corel Gallery 2 offers proportional, standard, or custom resizing; 100 to 300 dpi or custom resolutions, and choices of black and white, 256 greyscaling, and 16, 256, or 16 million color output. Greyscale output is especially outstanding as rendered on a 600 dpi laser printer.

Corel Gallery 2 also includes a “mini-editor” that can optionally be called from a double-click; the associated application can also be called. Images can be flipped, scaled, and even rotated by degrees from within that handy editing applet.

 FONT-MASTER Version 2.0

This application is already set up for the 500 fonts included on the Corel Gallery 2 CD ROM, but is useful for your current True Type collection. Font-Master enables you to set up categorized groups of fonts for quick installation.

One of the most intelligent features that separates this utility from others that have been reviewed, is the ability to temporarily install and uninstall fonts. We are all aware of the impact that the number of installed fonts has on resources, or simply clogging up the arteries of progress when making selections, and this ability is one that I admire. Fonts that are temporarily added or removed affect the current session only, and the status of your installed fonts returns to normal after your next restart.

Font-Master also has the ability to show the internal details of fonts, and preview them, whether they are installed or not. Finally, you may choose a directory and create a TrueType Font Overview File. After scanning the contents, a columnar text file showing the filename, full name, family name, weight, and PS fontname is generated, which you can save or print. With E008000D.TTF or similarly cryptic filenames in your collection, this utility is invaluable for cataloging your collection.

Corel includes a wonderful variety of fonts for every purpose with this CD ROM. My collection of fonts will no doubt be weeded out with many replaced by the quality fonts provided here.

 COREL CAPTURE Version 5.0

Corel Capture is a screen capture utility that saves areas of your screen as a BMP, CPT, or TIF file. Using a defined hotkey, it triggers a timed capture and saves it as a file. As with the other applications, a variety of options are available from the tabbed dialog, including the automatic generation of filenames.

The Multimedia Manager

It's easy to create additional libraries of images, fonts, sounds, movies, or anything you wish. You simply drag the file(s) into the new album you're created. If it's an image file the program recognizes, you'll get a great collection of thumbnails such as you see with the original system. Otherwise, program icons populate the screen. The system is well documented, and you may find it useful primarily for cataloging your images. General operations are as described in the earlier paragraphs regarding the Corel Gallery 2 clipart.

Conclusion

Corel Gallery 2 is an international product; you will see that by its appearance. Graphic content betrays that as well. Many of the new images are very good, but I don’t find the inclusion of well over 2000 portraits very useful, especially when many are unfamiliar. I suppose some users may find them of use, but under what circumstances I cannot guess.

I should mention that the photographs are of excellent quality, and cover a wide range of subjects within the 500 included. The sound clips are inconsequential, but the video clips are of good quality, and although they are few, might see use in a presentation.

You may have noted a slight love-hate tone throughout this review — mark it off to this sorehead who has had to relearn how to deal with a new Corel clipart CD. In spite of my attitude problem, this product is superior to the original in so many ways, it more than compensates for the loss of the innocence and simplicity of the original Gallery. My first impression was that I would never let loose of my original, version 1 CD. As I use this new version more and more and become confortable with its methods, my position is weakening. Indeed, I just may relinquish that cherished disc to a deserving friend after all.

If you need a strong library of quality clipart for constant or occasional use, look no further. Corel Gallery 2 supplies a wide variety and large volume of useful and attractive images. I have not seen anything that approaches the bargain that was the original Corel Gallery. Version 2, with a street price around $70.00, is also an amazing deal, if only for the 15,000 pieces of clipart. The fonts, photos, video clips, and multimedia application are but the sweet icing on the cake. The CD also includes a working model of Corel Draw 5.0.

Grolier CD ROM Encylopaedia
GROLIER MM ENCYCLOPEDIA '95

a review by Thom Foulks

The steaks after the movie had been superb, and the wine was tolerable. But our conversation continued to be unsettling.

“Gregory Peck was not the star of ’High Noon’ — you’re losing your memory,” said my wife.

“You’re right, he wasn’t,” I said, with chagrin. (Not to be confused with chablis, which had been the wine.) “And, you’re right, I am — I was just trying to get my mental juices flowing. And if I wasn’t losing my memory, we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place.” (Mental juices, of course having nothing to do with fermented wine juices — this conversation had really started earlier.)

It had begun as we were walking out of a movie complex from having seen “Forrest Gump” a second time.

I said, “Tom Hanks is marvelous, absolutely great. I’d never really thought that before, especially when I read that reviewer’s column comparing him to, to, uh, to — oh, the guy who was the star of ’High Noon’ — you know who I mean.”

“Oh, you mean Alan Ladd,” said my bride of 30+ years. “Tom Hanks is not like him at all.”

“NO, not Alan Ladd,” I said, “you’re thinking of ’Shane’. And you’re losing YOUR memory. The point I was trying to make is that I now think Tom Hanks is a great star, and I sure didn’t think that when this columnist compared him to, to, uh, to — dangit — I can’t remember his name. I can see his face, but no name comes up.”

By now, you’re probably wondering what this dialogue has to do with computers. Hang in there, a reference is coming.

“You don’t mean Spencer Tracy, do you? He wasn’t in ’High Noon’”, said wife Vi, sounding helpful, but grinning at my memory lapse.

“Hey,” I retorted, “you don’t remember his name, either, so don’t be poking at me.” By now, I was turning into the driveway, waiting for the garage-door opener to complete its task. “I know it wasn’t Jimmy Stewart or Gene Autry or Roy Rogers, either.”

“But,” I continued, pre-emptorily, I know how to find out who it was, in a hurry.”

(Here comes the computer angle...)

“I’ll just pop the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia into the computer, and look up ’High Noon’. I’ll see you at my desk.”

Three minutes later, the stern and quiet face of Gary Cooper was on my screen, along with a text reference noting that the Montana native had won his second Oscar for the 1952 film, which co-starred Grace Kelly (I couldn’t remember HER name, either.) It had been that fast — pop in the disk, do a Find|Word Search on ’high noon’ and seconds later, we were reading that Gary’s real name was Frank James Cooper and that his first Oscar had come for the 1941 ’Sergeant York,’ along with a lot of other facts about his life and times. (He died in 1961.)

A few moments later, we learned that Tom Hanks had won his first Oscar for the 1992 film, ’Philadelphia.’ That came after tracking through the list of all major Oscars ever awarded. It would be great at this point to say that Tom Hanks has his own entry in the 1995 edition of Grolier — but he doesn’t. As they say in Cubs (Chicago) Stadium (and Hollywood), “maybe next year.”

Using the Grolier CD-ROM in our household for research is so commonplace that either of us at times is searching for the disc. “Hey, you got Grolier?” is not an uncommon yell from up/down stairs, between our split-level home offices. (OK, I suspect that’s admission of a copyright violation of some sort. So sue.)

Let me also note we have TWO (the salesmen were good) full, bound, printed encyclopediae, 22 heavy volumes each, stashed in a downstairs closest. Quite dusty, and quite unappealing after one has experienced the joy of a lookup in Grolier. The Grolier CD-ROM edition is based on the Academic America Encyclopedia, with the value-added multimedia capability of six hours of audio, video and other computer-only revelations. The dazzling stuff is great, yes, but the real value here is in the instant lookup that simply cannot be matched by any printed materials.

For the record, Grolier’s contains all 21 printed volumes of the encyclopedia, plus additional articles and presentations written expressly for the multimedia version. That totals nearly 33,000 articles, comprehensively indexed so that a single search can locate text, pictures, video in a combined reference. The 1995 edition has more that 5,500 added or updated since the previous edition, along with thousands of new photographs and illustrations.

I particularly like the outlining feature, which allows you to browse the headings and subheadings of a lengthy text topic far more easily than you could ever scan a couple dozen printed pages. The presence of video or audio references associated with a given topic is indicated the appearance of icons in your operative window; a keyclick brings them to life. On another project, I recently wrote thumbnail descriptions for a large group of Gutenberg Etexts (computerized books) on classic topics. Having Grolier’s loaded helped me easily deal with articles ranging from Socrates’ Dialogues to Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes mystery.

The Grolier CD-ROM does have a problem, though. It’s been bundled with so many CD-ROM drives that many users disregard it, without being aware of its true, intrinsic value. Fine. But send your disc to a local school, because they’ll sure know how to use it. First, however, you better browse through yours — you never know when some columnist might compare Robert Urich to, uh, what’s-his-name, and your steak will not digest well.

Grolier’s release price on the 1995 edition was $59.95, but that has been heavily discounted by many software distributors, and you may already have it. Be sure to send in your registration, because that puts you on the list for release notification of the next edition. Tom Hanks may be in that one. They may be able to tell you at 800-285-4534.

PaperPort 2.0
PAPERPORT

a review by Ed Hoffman

Several months ago I had the distinct pleasure of reviewing what I feel has to be one of the hottest computer products for 1995 — the PaperMax Personal Scanner and the MaxMate Document Communications Software. For those that missed that review, it appeared in the February 1995 issue, #94, of the WinOnLine Review™. Recently, Visioneer, the creator of this unique duo, has released a new version of this product, with new software and a new name. Now this hardware/software twosome is called PaperPort for Windows.

In my earlier review I said “When it comes to describing computer hardware or software, WOW is a word I very seldom, if ever, use. However, I’m about to break this long standing tradition.” I must admit, when I first heard about this new version, my first thought was that Visioneer would be hard pressed to top their first offering. Well, after using the new PaperPort for a while, I realized it would be difficult, with words alone, to convey the considerable power, capabilities, and range of features of this new release. While the hardware unit is the same, the new PaperPort 2.0 software is nothing short of amazing and will assuredly revolutionize the way paper is handled in today’s offices.

With the PaperPort system, virtually anything on paper can be easily transformed into electronic documents in a matter of seconds. Once the documents are scanned into the system, they can be marked up, highlighted, annotated, or have various notes attached. These scanned documents can also be combined into stacks or merged with other computer generated documents or files. The end product may then be archived, or sent out through E-Mail or electronic fax transmission. If you wish, the unit can also function as a copier by simply sending the scanned document to your printer. This can allow you the option of keeping a hard copy of your annotated documents. Once the documents are scanned, they can also be transformed into editable text by simply sending the file through an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process.

The PaperPort system, as mentioned earlier, consists of two elements: the PaperPort Scanner and the PaperPort Software. The scanner unit is quite small. At 1 inch long, 3.75 inches high and but 3 inches deep the scanner is about the size of a carton of cigarettes, set up on edge. This small footprint permits the scanner to be placed at almost any convenient location. The unit is capable of scanning to resolutions of either 200 dpi or 400 dpi (dots per inch). All hardware items necessary to attach the scanner to your computer are included. When installing the unit however, you will need an open COM port. In my case this required my replacing my old serial mouse with a bus mouse.

The system is also remarkably fast. A typical letter size sheet is scanned and displayed on your screen in less than 6 seconds. The scanner unit is paper-driven™, meaning the unit actually runs itself. The scanner is activated when a document is inserted. This action then automatically starts the PaperPort software, without any additional intervention from the user.

The PaperPort software is the new component in this system. This software allows you to manipulate your scanned data in any number of different ways. Working from a base screen called the desktop, you have three general categories of options. These include document management where you can store or file documents, document alteration where you can alter or modify the scanned sheets, and document transmittal where you can send or transmit the documents.

Document Management

 The document management functions of the program allows you the option of storing and retrieving scanned documents. However, with this version of the software, you have an almost complete document management system. Along the left side of the desktop are a series of areas that function like file folders. You simply drag the document from the desktop, to the folder title, and it’s instantly filed.

The scanned documents can be kept as individual sheets or as document stacks. The Stack button allows you to combine groups of related pages into a single stack. The Unstack button can then be used to break a stack apart to work on the individual sheets. The Unstack 1 button gives you the option of only unstacking the top page. When documents are stacked, a Page Navigation bar appears by the stack to allow you to view the individual pages without unstacking the documents.

Document Alteration

The document alteration features of the program allows you the option of annotating, marking up or otherwise modifying scanned documents. A unique note feature allows you to attach individual resizable notes to sheets. You can even draw lines to show where these notes apply in the documents. To access these features simply double click the sheet on the desktop. The program than switches to the page view with the sheet displayed. All the necessary mark-up tools are also available in the page view.

Should you want to re-write a scanned document, you can simply drag the document to the bottom of the desktop to the Link Bar. This bar is a collection of features and devices the program automatically determines are available on your system. To do your rewrite, simply drop the document on the icon representing your word processor (or the WordScan icon). the program then opens up the internal copy of WordScan™ and performs the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) work automatically. If you have a word processor selected in the preferences, the program then opens up your word processor. The converted document is then displayed on the screen ready for your rewrite.

If you have another OCR program on your system, such as OmniPage, TextBridge, or WordScan Plus, the program will automatically detect these programs, and the icon for each of these will automatically be added to the Link Bar. To choose the OCR program, simply drag and drop the document on the specific icon. Your OCR program will then open, ready for your instructions.

Document Transmittal

The document transmittal functions of the program are also accomplished by dragging and dropping the document onto the Link Bar. Here you may select whatever devices are available on your system. If you have a printer, fax card, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Mail, or similar devices or software on your system the PaperPort 2.0 program will also locate these. Again, the appropriate icons will appear on the Link Bar. You can then print, fax, send, or transmit your documents wherever they need to go.

This system provides the user with a virtually complete document management and communications solution. The only thing you’ll need is paper documents — PaperPort 2.0 will easily handle the rest of the job. Whether you need to simply convert hard copies to computer files or send printed documents and information through E-Mail or by fax-modem, PaperPort 2.0 makes any job a snap. For those who purchased the earlier PaperMax Scanner system, software upgrades are also available.

XTREE GOLD

a review by Stevem Justice

Of course you hate Windows’ File Manager — everybody does — and so maybe you’re looking forward to Explorer, its Windows 95 replacement. Well, in case you haven’t read enough about Windows95 yet, let me tell you two things about Explorer: 1) it’s much, much better than File Manager, and 2) it’s not good enough. That’s why you should know about XTree Gold 4.0 for Windows. I’ve been using it for nearly six months now, in Windows 3.11 and then in Windows 95, and I wouldn’t do without it: on anyone’s list of Windows utilities, this has to be a “best buy.” Here’s how it looks on my machine.

If you’ve used PC Tools for Windows, this should look familiar: Central Point Software makes both products, and XTree is an enhanced version of the PC Tools File Manager. And thereby hangs the first tale. Longtime users of XTree, with its keyboard shortcuts permanently in their muscle memory, will welcome this powerful new version. But the product has two modes: XTree Gold mode, which employs all the old keyboard shortcuts (and shows them at the bottom of the screen), and File Manager mode, which has nothing to do with the old XTree and is what you see above.

Let’s take a walk around that screen shot, starting at the bottom. Just above the status bar are the SmartTabs, new to this version. You can define any filter or sort or view--show all *.DOC files, or sort by date, or view as a folder with icons--to a tab. Clicking on the tab shows you the files by that specification (my “Programs” tab shows all EXE, COM, and PIF files, for example). “Deleted Files,” a tab already defined when you install the program, shows files deleted and their condition; a click on a button will undelete any or all of them.

Just above the SmartTabs, next to the horizontal scroll bars, are some small buttons that invoke some of XTree’s most useful functions. On the left, the computer icon lets you show all available drives on the same directory tree (notice how the a: drive shows above the c: drive in my left pane). This display (which, to be fair to Microsoft, is also available in Win95’s Explorer) is one of my favorite aspects of the program: it allows you to move (say) WOLR99.ZIP from c:\cserve\download to h:\docs\favorite without opening a second window. If you’ve already highlighted the file but forgot to expand h:\docs, you can click on the little plus sign next to the directory and it will expand the directory without changing the display to that directory. Over in the lower right hand corner, the checkmark icon enables tagging mode, which allows you to select files in multiple directories for moving, copying, deleting, or whatever. The mouse icon starts multiple select mode, which allows you to select non-contiguous files using the mouse alone (without keeping the CTRL key pressed the while).

Of course if you have got WOLR99.ZIP, or any compressed file, on your hard drive, you may want some day to expand it; you might even want to know what’s in it before you expand. Like earlier versions of XTree Gold and the PC Tools File Manager, this version supports built-in versions of all major compression utilities, including PKZip 2.04g. It will display compressed files as subdirectories, and if you click on one, it will display the contents of the compressed file in the right-hand pane (in the screen shot above the contents of SNAP226.ZIP are being displayed). You can expand single files (a README file, for example) out of a compressed file without expanding the whole file; highlight what you want to expand, and drag it to a new directory. And XTree will also compress files to the ZIP format--or PAK, LZH, ARC, or a self-extracting EXE. (XTree does lack some of the advanced capabilities of PKZip, however, like the ability to compress a very large file over multiple diskettes.) If you still haven’t registered your copy of PKZip, then XTree, which costs only a few dollars more, will nearly pay for itself in this functionality alone.

The toolbar at the top is fully customizable; you can even define your own commands for the buttons (the one I’ve put in the upper-right corner is for the Backup utility that ships with Windows95). The smaller buttons directly over the file display (“Name,” “Extension,” etc.) can be dragged around to reorder the display of file information; click on one of them, and XTree immediately sorts the files by that criterion. And XTree is ready for Windows95 and its long filenames; you can add a field called “Long Description” that will show the long filename if a file has one.

XTree also ships with other utilities. It has a huge assortment of viewers; you can view highlighted files in a “view pane” that opens at the bottom of the screen, or in a separate File Viewer; a new feature is that any file that can be viewed can also be printed from the viewer, without the application that created it. The package also includes SmartFind, a file-finding application that is quick (though not so quick as the Norton equivalent) and allows precisely defined searches. Finally, it includes File Companions. These first appeared in PC Tools 2.0, but would only appear if you were using the PC Tools shell. This function places a small icon by the control menu of File|Open and File|Save dialog boxes, allowing you to perform various functions without leaving the dialog box.

Unfortunately they don’t look as nice under Win95 as they did under Windows 3.x; and they don’t work on native Win95 dialogs at all.

With this extraordinary range of functions, Xtree Gold 4.0 does manage to keep a good deal of memory tied up, and, compared to the Microsoft file managers, it is sluggish. And under Windows95 there are a few oddities: the status bar does not recalculate free space on disk after you delete a file (it did under Windows 3.x), and won’t recalculate even if you give it the “Refresh” command; if you have a button on the toolbar to display a command line (yet another modest but immensely useful tool in this utility), it will open with the command line displayed every other time you launch the program. Presumably there will be a Win95 bug-fix soon, but even if it never appears, I’ll still be using XTree every day.

WINFAX PRO

a review by Ed Rasimus

Welcome back for part two of our look at the Delrina Communications Suite 2.1. Last month we talked about the communications half of this blockbuster modem support software pairing, WinComm PRO 1.1. This issue we return to the package to look at WinFax PRO 4.0.

Although not as smoothly integrated as some “suites,” the Delrina Communications Suite brings together in a single box at an attractive price two well-executed easy to use software items. One part does the job for modem telecommunications, and the other implements the fax function of your hardware. Of the two parts, WinFax PRO 4.0 is probably the one that will tip the scales for a buying decision against any other competitor.

Before there was an “information superhighway,” that worn-out, overdone cliché de jour, there was the similarly overused, “paperless office.” The concept that formed the cliché was that the computer would eliminate the proliferation of stacks and stacks of paper that fuel the business world. Information wouldn’t be transferred on sheets of paper, then copied and filed away in huge metal cabinets in suspended folders. In the ideal situation, text would be passed as computer files and archived (maybe even zipped?) into a hierarchical directory system on your hard drive. Gosh, lots of computers were being sold with as much as 80 MB of disk space.

Well, it didn’t work out as quickly as envisioned. It seems like everyone wanted “hard copy,” so printers and copy machines worked overtime and paper in the office actually multiplied because, although the data was on disk, nobody could find it. If someone did find the information, they immediately printed out a copy because it might never be found again, and besides, people know what to do with paper.

A couple of developments have occurred along the way, though, that make the paperless office remain an attainable goal. First, there has been an exponential growth in the size of the typical hard drive, with one gig or greater becoming the norm. Second, there has been software progress that improves the “find” capability of our software allowing “text string” searches in the document to find that critical piece of data consistently.

But, probably the most important step enroute to the paperless office is the advent of the high-speed modem chipset that integrates fax capability, inexpensively, in nearly every computer. The PC fax allows information to be sent and received between other PC faxes and conventional facsimile machines over regular phone lines. The critical advantage of PC fax is that there is no slippery, curled-up, fuzzy fax paper generated. The fax arrives at your computer, it’s arrival is noted and catalogued, the fax is stored to disk, and the resulting file can be handled, forwarded and annotated just like a piece of paper--provided, of course, that you have a good fax software program. That’s where WinFax PRO 4.0 comes in.

Which, if I haven’t bored you with background by this time, leads to the question, “why do I need to spend more money when perfectly good faxing software comes with my brand new Acme Whiz-bang fax-modem?” The answer of course is that efficient faxing is much more than simply the transmission of a page. To achieve the paperless office, we need to be able to manage our data, and that is where quality software comes in.

WinFax PRO 4.0 does it all. Among the features of this high-end application are phone book management, record keeping, OCR (optical character recognition), cover sheet design, and broadcast fax capability. Lets look at some of these in detail.

Keeping track of fax phone numbers can be a mind-numbing task. WinFax PRO 4.0 offers a detailed phone book which allows for maintaining names, numbers and remarks on your regular contacts. Sorting by category or group is easily accomplished to facilitate getting a fax out to a number of recipients. The easy-to-use dialog box allows attachment of files as well as selection and editing of a collection of cover sheets. The one drawback of the Communications Suite, is that the phone book is not shared with the WinComm half of the package.

Fax managment capability is exceptional. Incoming and outgoing faxes are logged to a listing of date, time, recipient/sender, and other party phone number. Success or failure in an attempted fax transmission is noted so that it is easy to follow-up on whether or not a message got through. If using one of the “big 3” word processors (AmiPro, Word or WP), the program includes macros to link with WinFax PRO 4.0. Merely complete a document, click print, select your fax rather than your paper printer from the print dialog, and WinFax PRO 4.0 is automatically launched so that the number of the recipient can be selected. The fax is dispatched and a record of the transmission is retained in the send log. For the future, your word processor file is linked to the log so that a click on the log entry will call up the document for inspection or retransmission.

When a fax is transmitted, what really moves through the phone line is a graphic — a picture of the page rather than a text file. For that reason, most fax programs allow you to view a document that has been received but not to edit it. WinFax PRO 4.0 includes an OCR feature that converts the graphics back to a text file, examining each discrete section of the graphic that composes the fax document and replacing it with a text letter, then saving the result as an editable text file. Very handy for filling out a form that was faxed to you, or providing comment or editing to a proposal. No retyping, no scanning, no hassle.

At a simpler level, the program offers the choice of “object-oriented annotation” to faxes. Rather than actual editing of the original, if you merely want to provide some notation, or a checkmark or scribble, WinFax PRO 4.0 supports a notation layer that displays your comments whenever the received document is reopened or retransmitted.

Although it runs counter to the concept of “paperless office”, typical faxing employs a cover sheet on your faxed document. Here WinFax PRO 4.0 is really gold-plated. The program comes with a library of cartoon cover pages catalogued by category for topics such as: “getting back to you”, “billing notices”, or “for your information”. Unfortunately, I found many of these a bit sarcastic or disrespectful for professional business employment, but they would work well in less formal situations. Additionally, there is a complete drawing module that allows you to build your own corporate logo cover sheet employing clip-art, linked graphics, or hand-drawn images. Data blocks in the cover sheet can be customized with field codes to automatically enter typical information such as sender data, phone numbers, addressee info, or date/time. A well designed cover sheet speaks volumes for your company and saves lots of labor with automated data input.

Through the grouping feature of the phonebook, the program allows for group transmission or “broadcast” faxing. Send the same message to a selected bunch at a preprogrammed time for best phone rates. The program automatically connects and sends the fax to each number in turn, returning at the end of the queue to numbers which didn’t succeed on the first trial. The send log keeps a record of the result of the broadcast for future reference.

Throw in support for mail systems like cc: mail or MS Mail, a spell checker, multi-font support, bitmap capability for signature stamps, portability features for use with laptops. thumbnail viewing for fax management, dBase links for phone books, and you wind up with a fax program that leaves nothing to be desired.

Overall WinFax PRO 4.0 is clearly the best fax software package on the market today. Bundled with WinComm PRO in the Delrina Communications Suite 2.1, it becomes a strong justification for choosing this package over other comm suites. It would be nice if the two halves were merged and operated from a single phone book, installed from a single process, recognized the same hardware list during setup, and had a little more commonality of interface. As it is, the only thing that makes them a “suite” is Windows multi-tasking ability to run them simultaneously and the fact that they relinquish the comm port after activity. Still, there isn’t much out there that is better than either of these two components as a stand-alone product for the task they are designed for.

SOUND FORGE

a review by Ted Tatman

The 32-bit apps are coming! The 32-bit apps are coming! With Windows 95 scheduled to be released in August, and the popularity of Windows NT on high end computers increasing, soon we’ll have more 32-bit applications than we’ll know what to do with. And, some of them are already here. Sonic Foundry has released their PC digital sound editor, Sound Forge 3.0 in both 16-bit and 32-bit flavors. I had the chance to test drive the 32-bit version on a late beta of Win95.

According to the company, Sound Forge 3.0 for 32 Bit Windows is the first true 32 Bit flat model digital sound editor available for the PC. Why go the 32-bit route? Processing is often 2 to 3 times faster with the 32 Bit version of Sound Forge. And, on my machine (486/66 with 8 meg of memory), WAV processing was very speedy indeed. You’ll also benefit from the extra security of running a 32-bit app (it won’t crash when other 16-bit programs crash) and finally — long file names for your WAV files.

The 2.0 version of Sound Forge was reviewed in Issue 85 of WOLR. So, what’s new for version 3.0? Both Graphic & Parametric Equalization (to make your audio creations sound as crisp and clean as you can get them); Time Compression & Expansion (to make your sound clip longer or shorter without changing its pitch); Pitch Bending (to correct flat notes); Sample dumps to external samplers (helpful if you’re a musician and you use MIDI); support for more file formats (including VOC, AIF, SND, AU, SMP, SVX, VOX and PAT); programmable presets for all effects; moveable and dockable toolbars; and more support for drag and drop.

Sound Forge 3.0 has all the bells and whistles anyone could want in a WAV editor. There’s a full compliment of special effects (Echo, Reverb, Flanging, Compression, Vibrato and more). Plus, there are plenty of ways to process the levels of your sound file, including Normalization (maximizing the volume of a selection without clipping); professional sounding fades; pans (moving the channels in a stereo file from one channel to another); and Auto Trim/Crop (which comes in handy for taking out unnecessary silence in a sample and automatically fading in and out the endpoints of a phrase).

If you like tool bars, then you’ll love Sound Forge 3.0. There’s several tool bars with buttons for nearly every function in the program. You have the option of running every tool bar, just the ones you want, or none at all. Each tool bar can “float” or “dock” to the top, sides, or bottom of the main program window. In addition, there’s keyboard shortcuts for most program functions, so you don’t have to use your mouse for everything.

Besides using Sound Forge to create and edit digital sound, the program can be used with MIDI. You can send MIDI notes to your sound card or external MIDI devices with the MIDI Keyboard for simple triggering and testing of the sounds. Also, you can send and receive sound data to and from external samplers via the Sample Dump Standard. Sound Forge 3.0 also has the ability to synchronize sound files within the program with any MIDI sequencer like Cakewalk. For example, you can have Cakewalk output MIDI Time Code (MTC) to the Sonic Foundry Virtual MIDI Router and then have Sound Forge receive the time code and trigger sections of a file at specific SMPTE times. The reverse is also true, with Sound Forge generating MTC and a sequencer (or any other device like a video deck) synchronizing to the time code.

Sound Forge 3.0 comes with a very well-written and understandable manual, plus a demo CD with sample music beds (in WAV and MIDI format) from the Canbium Sound Choice library for multimedia applications.

After putting Sound Forge 3.0 through its paces by creating several dozen WAV files, I found the program easy to use, especially with the toolbars allowing quick access to the program’s processing and special effects functions. Sound Forge makes extensive use of your right mouse button to bring up area-sensitive pop-up menus, helping you edit even faster. My only concerns were somewhat slower than normal screen redraws when maximizing or restoring a sound editing window, plus somewhat sensitive mouse highlighting. For instance, you click on the sound editing window to highlight the entire file, and then click again to un-highlight it. However, instead of un-highlighting it, sometimes the file would stay selected or Sound Forge acted like you were going to drag and drop the file to another editing window. These problems could be associated with the late-beta version of Win95 I was running, however.

 	What’s all this sound editing power cost? Sound Forge lists for $595.00, which unfortunately is a little pricey for most amateur home-based WAV creating enthusists. It’s definitely geared towards professional sound designers, musicians and multimedia developers. But, it’s a powerful, “deep” program that should definitely be considered if you deem yourself a serious audio professional. And, at this time, it’s the only program of its kind. If you can afford it, by all means get it!

The Windows Online BBS has runable demos of Sound Forge 3.0 in both 16-bit and 32-bit versions that members can download. The 16-bit version is FORGEDEM.ZIP and the 32-bit version is FRGDEM32.ZIP. You can’t save files or copy to the clipboard with these demos, and you’re limited to running them for 15 minutes per session, plus recording is disabled. However, you’ll get a “hands-on” chance to see if Sound Forge 3.0 is right for you.

ANNOUNCEMENT

a review by Mitzi Smetters

Here’s an important announcement for you ... Parsons Technology offers Announcement 3.0 — a great program for creating cards, banners, brochures, posters, and more! This version imports TIF, PCX, BMP, CGM, GIF, TGA, and WMF graphics, and converts WPG images, too. The program comes with 200 graphics of its own in a good variety of styles, subjects, and borders.

Announcement 3.0 is a useful tool in the home, classroom, or small business. In addition to common shapes for greeting cards, banners, brochures, and posters, it has a variety of predefined forms and formats for business cards, letterheads, envelopes, postcards, and gift certificates. Dimensions can be altered to your preferences.

The graphic options allow you to be creative. You can stretch and shrink pictures and words. A shape option gives you power to alter contours of graphics or text boxes. Raise or lower images against others; flip or copy them. You can set off your work with a variety of border styles and shapes. In addition to full True Type font choice of styles and sizes, another option allows text to automatically adjust the text to fill any size text box.

Graphics can be embedded. That’s a great asset if you have numerous images stored on a lot of floppies. Once the image is read from the floppy, you can switch to another disk for additional graphics. The card or brochure can be worked on again later with no need of reloading (or remembering the location of!) the image. Embedding is an option, so turn it off to conserve file size if you already have the image on your hard drive.

Its menu and button bar make Announcement 3.0 easy to use even if you do not take the time to completely study its well-presented documentation. Grade schoolers can learn to design their own posters and cards after basic instructions and demonstrations. They enjoy pasting pictures they create on Windows Paintbrush. On the other hand, adults find it useful for personal and business applications.

The simplicity of Announcement 3.0 does give it some limitations. It lacks an option for automatic creation of columns for text, although this can be overcome with textbox sizing. It does not allow for multiple pages that permit the overflow of text, as found in newsletters. Several documents can be worked on at the same time however, so with a little planning, you can develop a small newsletter. When placing graphics, separate images can be joined into a group, but once joined cannot be separated. Again, the solution is . . . plan ahead!

Many are familiar with Greetings, a scaled down version of Announcement, offered by Parson as a free program (except for shipping and handling) to introduce its line of software. If you are a Greetings user, it is worth your while to upgrade to Announcement 3.0. There are so many additional features in the full-fledged model.

The upgrade also is a worthwhile addition if you are a regular user of an earlier version of Announcement. The latest version gets rid of a few annoying quirks, such as reverting to your Windows default font for each new text box in the same document, or closing the text box if you hit enter, when all you really wanted to do was start a new paragraph.

Another handy addition to the newest version is the ability to print an Image Directory. The program has a convenient viewer for previewing graphics one at a time but that can be tedious if you are not sure what you want. With Image Directory, you can print out a hard-copy catalog of all the graphics in any subdirectory on your hard drive or on a floppy. You even can control the size of the images in the printed catalog--from thumbnail to almost full-page. To use this feature for images on a floppy, the files must be in a subdirectory. It does not work when they are in the root directory.

Also new to the latest release is a mail-merge feature, so very useful in fooling your friends that your holiday greeting card was made especially for them! The feature also is useful with the letterhead selection that allows Announcement 3.0 to be used as a simple word processor. Maybe that’s the secret value of the program — it’s not a full-fledged DTP or a word processor, but combines many important features of each plus has features not found in either.

Announcement 3.0 is also is available in a specially priced package that includes Christian Images, one of the dozen or more graphics packages offered by Parsons. Christian Images has 170 WMF images depicting church and home activities. These are additional to the 200 graphics of general topics and holidays included in the basic Announcement 3.0 program. The other collections of Image Packages are each sold separately. They include general samplers as well as specific collections such as borders and backgrounds, Canadian images, cartoon images, sports, children and education, holidays, and family activities. Each package contains about 200 graphics, most in WMF or PCX formats. The versatility and prices of Announcement 3.0 and the available Image Packages make this one announcement to which you should listen.

Announcement 3.0 for Windows

List Price: $29.00

Upgrade from Greetings or Announcement 2: $19.00

Announcement 3.0 for Windows with Christian Images

Word 6 Visual Pocket Guide
WORD 6 - VISUAL POCKETGUIDE

a review by Ed Hoffman

While very few computer books or manuals could be called good bedside reading, they are nevertheless usually necessary to help get the most from a particular computer program. As a rule, it seems the more powerful the program, the more complex the text that describes its application. Anyone who has ever looked at the books available for Word for Windows 6.0 should instantly know what I mean. Word for Windows is indeed a powerful program and certainly does have some doozies that describe it. Unfortunately, many of these available texts seem to further complicate the issue by obscuring, rather than clarifying the use of Word for Windows 6.0. If you’re tired of wading through endless pages of complexity, you might want to take a look at a book that actually does simplify the task of learning to use this word processor. This text is Word 6 For Windows - Visual PocketGuide.

This text does not delve into the more complex features of Word for Windows, but it does greatly simplify the basic operation of the program. The book is well suited for anyone learning the fine points of navigating Word for Windows. Whether you're switching over from another word processor, or learning word processing from the ground up, this text will simplify the learning process and greatly minimize your frustration.

 	The text is profusely illustrated, and each of the 245 pages is presented in full color. A snazzy little creature that looks like a floppy disk is your guide through the program. Though at first glance, you might be tempted to dismiss the text as too cartoonish, the information contained in this book is solid and well presented. The explanations are very clear and each step of a procedure is clearly described and well illustrated. This text bucks the prevailing trend in computer books toward making powerful programs seem even more complicated. No matter what your level of expertise, you’re almost guaranteed to learn something new from this text.

If you want a simplified way to learn the basics of Word for Windows, the Word 6 For Windows - Visual PocketGuide is just the ticket. While nothing will ever make the learning process easy, this text will definitely make learning Word more enjoyable. In fact you may even want to keep your copy close by your computer, for a reference book. That’s just where my copy is. And I find myself frequently looking through the book, trying to figure out some process or procedure that I’ve not committed to memory.

 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?

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 ALL or an individual writer, just a "Hello" or 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, automatically maintained as long as you call in every six months.

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    WinOnLine Review Editorial Offices

     Seven Baywyn Drive, Ocean View, NJ  08230-1060

     (609) 624-1470 - fax (609) 624-3646

     CIS 71334,2065  -  bob.gollihur@wol.com (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.
