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!!!

This is a popup box.

Click anywhere and

it will disappear.

Quick Takes and Pure Opinion from Wolly

CHAINSAW SCREEN SAVER

Windows Chainsaw Massacre!

Wolly sees a lot of screen savers come and go with nary an original idea. Every once and a while (twice this month!), something comes across his screen worth saving. Chainsaw is an animated screen saver that fans of certain cult movies will especially like. Few programs have a Gore level, but it is here to set along with the other options shown, so Chainsaw will cut out pieces of your screen that fall into oblivion, eventually decimating it with a bloody trail. I suppose CHAINS.ZIP (21K) imitates, in art, what we all sometimes would like to do in life. Registration is a healthy $25.00, but the single fee entitles you to use other Animazing modules as they become available, which already include Exterminated, Tags’R'Us, Olde Foulmouth, Ribbit, Fires, and others Wolly thinks he’d like to experience. As the author states, “where else are you going to find this level of bad taste?!!”

OFFICE MAID

Maid to order

If you are in an office and in demand, this is the one screen saver for you. Configure this baby to display a BMP and play a WAV, displaying your own personal message, or even play an AVI movie file. But it doesn’t stop there. Still within its optional password protection, visitors who disturb the keyboard or mouse are presented with an opportunity to leave you a message! When you return, the messages await, for your eyes only. The option screen is ablaze with handy stuff; you can even preview files as you select them, and test your selected configuration. Wolly puts Office Maid on his recommended list for those in an office situation where such a convenience would be a great thing to have. While Wolly looked at OFMAID20.ZIP, which omitted the shareware price of $15.00; a newer version was made available on Windows OnLine as we went to press: OFMAID40.ZIP (411K). Check it out!

SYSTEM ANALYST FOR WINDOWS

Who’s on first?

While this program doesn’t get too nitty-gritty, it does present a pretty decent picture of many components of your system and Windows setup. Click on each for a screen full of info, and jump to a help screen for further edification if necessary. You can rearrange the buttons to your taste, even eliminating those you don’t require. You can even run SAW iconized to get the benefits of user-configurable alarms, and you can save a report from the analysis to disk or print it. SAW101.ZIP (351K) could be handy, and to make it even better, is freeware!

WORDSEARCH MANIA

Now I need a laptop

Wordsearch games are a mainstay of certain members of Wolly’s family, and he has stumbled upon a particularly fine PC interpretation. You can actually load up to ten puzzles at once if you are so inclined, and Wordsearch Mania comes with 88 of them to get you started. There are bunches of options for circling the words, setting a timer, choosing the display font, and even associating WAV files to eight different game happenings. You can even build your own puzzles, from scratch, from a list of words you provide, or using the supplied dictionary. Wolly’s seen a few games like this lately, and this is one of the best. The only trouble is, if Wolly registers WMANIA.ZIP (378K) for that certain sibling, it will cost a lot more than the very reasonable registration fee of $19.99. She’ll require a laptop to work on these puzzles where she usually does.

CHORES & REWARDS

Put the kids to work

When Wolly was a little one, life was much simpler. You had chores — rewards were not getting whacked for forgetting to do them. Yeah, sure, we had positive reinforcement in those days. I was positive that I would be reinforced if I didn’t do my chores. In these days of PC having dual acronymic meanings, you now have a chance to computerize your tykes’ responsibilities. Enter the names of all of your brood, and then a whole flock of chores. Then, assign the kids to each chore, and yes, you can even split them up so that Eddie does the dishes on certain days, and David always has the weekends. Each chore can also have points or a monetary value, and there are penalties and prizes, too. Wolly’s not sure if any parent has the time to be this organized (Wolly doesn’t know too many businesses that are this organized), but if you are certain that anal-retentive has a hyphen, grab CHORES.ZIP (151K). Wolly knows that you’ll register it for $20.00, probably writing a check using your automated home accounting system.

HEBREW CALENDAR

Oy Vey! This issue actually came out on 29 Adar I 5755

For both the curious and the devout, Hebrew Calendar is more than just a conversion (no pun intended) calendar. Yes, you can view conventional and Hebrew calendars side by side, but there’s so much more. Set it for your location to get daily sunset information, view a listing of holidays and click on one for some brief information, keep a list of significant anniversaries. There’s even a reference for Shabbat Torah/Haftarah readings. Okay, Wolly admits he doesn’t understand a lot of the significance of some of that which is presented, since he does not practice Judaism, but he likes to think he understands and appreciates just a little bit more about another faith. So, download HBCL71.ZIP (218K)  and then send $24.00 to the Calendar Maven to register. It couldn’t hurt!

DISK PIE

Yummy, I’ll take a slice of gooseberry

This File Mangler add-on is a lot cooler than it looks. Highlight something in file manager, then jump up and click on that new DiskPie menu entry in File Manager. Click outside the piechart to move up in the directory structure, or within a slice to delve deeper. Show filenames, percentages or actual space taken, and you can even delete slices (yes, directories) if you set the options to give yourself the power. See, Wolly told you DSKPIE10.ZIP (121K) was cool, and for $15.00 you can have a pie of your own.

WRAP UP

Truly a pretty package

Okay, Uncle Bill and the boys graciously gave us a Windows Startup group, but nothing for on the way out (did they assume we’d never want to leave??). WrapUp brings the function full circle with a Shutdown group, to back up important stuff, empty your e-mail into the nearest receptacle, or parade a list of reminders for you. Put WrapUp in your startup group along with a group reference, and it lives, iconized, ready for its final mission. When you exit, WrapUp does give you the option to bypass the group, in case it’s a midday reboot to free up resources or for some other reason. In any case, Wolly does think WRAPUP10.ZIP (96K) is a pretty package, perhaps even at $29.00.

FAMILY CALENDAR

Nice idea

This should be near the top of conservative “family values” computer programs, perhaps as the antithesis of DOOM. Keep the widespread family in touch by publishing a calendar with everyone’s annual occasions. Add birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions to print on the final product — you can even omit the automatic age calculation listing (gee, Ed — 50!!!!) on a person-by-person basis. If one partner in a marriage has died, the program, with all political correctness, doesn’t include the number of years married. The author includes several niceties, including the ability to print input forms to distribute to all the family members so you can conveniently gather everyone’s significant dates. Maybe Wolly won’t have to keep so many belated birthday cards in stock anymore. Grab FAMCAL12.ZIP (226K), you’ll like it in spite of its annoying flashing blurbs in the opening screen, and register it for $25.00. Wolly, however, does take this opportunity to opine that “family values” are not the exclusive property of any one political party.

ICON LIBRARY

Tons of tiny pix

A significant number of Windows users are very conscious of the G in GUI, and desktop appearance is of paramount importance to them. Only problem is, those little ICO beasties, while only 766 bytes big, still occupy a cluster of disk space, wasting perhaps 3 to 15K of space each. Icon Library solves two problems, by providing a selection of over 5400 categorized icons, and doing it in ICL library format, thereby saving significant disk real estate. Be warned, however, that the installed program will suck up 4.42 megs. The viewing interface makes finding specific icons easy with all its categories — then just click on your selection and save it as an ICO file for use. Icon Library includes some animated icon series, although you’ll need another utility if you want to make them dance. Register ICOLIB03.ZIP (940K) and you’ll get a total of 10,200 icons for your $20 bill.

GRIFFIN’S SPEAKING SPELLER

Can you spell superfluous?

A nicely executed program, Griffin’s Speaking Speller is designed to drill kids on their spelling lists. Laboriously enter a list of twenty words (or cheat, and edit the list in Notepad), then let it do its thing. First, it shows the word. Then it spells it, aloud, via a series of WAV files as the letters are displayed in a second box. Then, it invites the student to spell the word. Eventually, the picture behind the colored blocks is uncovered. Griffin’s Speaking Speller will not accept any incorrect letter, refusing its entry with the default sound, so it’s time to try any letter, kids! Altogether, this program is not very “real world” in Wolly’s opinion. Wolly has endured many childrens’ spelling assignments, and never would this “learning” format have been helpful, except perhaps with twenty totally unknown words. What this program essentially does is test short-term memory. Endure a lengthy download of SETSPELL.ZIP (1311K), and you can register it for $10-20.00.

Commentary
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH

commentary by Ed Rasimus

It’s darn near impossible to pick up a newspaper, magazine, or book these days without encountering reference to the Internet, that amorphous network of information, mail, multimedia, and news groups so often referred to as the “information superhighway.” (Relax. That will be my last use of that tired cliche.) Everyone wants to be “online” and many are desperately seeking a way to make a fortune from this latest pop culture trend. With so many out there trying to get a buck out of what has traditionally been free to all comers, it is inevitable that some products will show up on the shelves of software dealers offering more than they are prepared to deliver. My experience with “The Lizard” may be all too typical.

My saga with “The Lizard” started last November with receipt of a “pre-release” press kit consisting of three disks and a folder chock full of information about the product. This was “internet for the masses”, a user-friendly package which would allow even my ol’ buddy, Joe Bagadonutz, to connect effortlessly to all of the services of the Internet. Through a process I’ll call “Quickie Internet” (to protect the guilty) the user would establish an account with a provider, install the software, and explore the I‘net free for the first thirty days. This looked like exactly what the world has been waiting for, an integrated, off-the-shelf package that would give painless access to this brave new world of online information.

That led to the first problem (but not the last by a long shot.) Quickie Internet wouldn’t work because the phone numbers provided in the press kit were not available on the date promised for connection. Score one strike for a marketing effort that prematurely releases software to press reviewers without coordinating to make sure if it works as promised.

Mistakes happen, and pre-release software sometimes takes a little bit of special consideration before it is able to demonstrate its capabilities. I waited a month for the quickie Internet lines to come into service before pulling the “The Lizard” package down from the shelf again. Now, I took the three disks and began the installation process. Note that I didn’t say I installed the software, I merely tried to install it. It seems as though the third disk of the package was not the disk called for by the install program. Yes, it was labeled disk three, but that didn’t mean that it really was the disk required to complete the install. A call to the Lizard-folk received an acknowledgment that, “Yes, we did send out press kits with impossible to use software.” They would be happy to send me a production copy of the software which had overcome the press kit errors. Strike number two for the marketing department.

The shrink-wrap copy of “The Lizard” arrived and indeed looked quite promising. I installed it and then, with instruction manual in hand, tried to make it work. Rather than the quickie Internet option, I determined I would try a “custom” installation for an existing Internet service provider account. Since few Internet users are going to be willing to accept long distance charges for extensive connection time, the preferred option for most Lizard users will be to set the program up to work with their local provider. I had just received access to a new provider in my home town, so this seemed an ideal test. But, by following the instruction manual, I soon found that whomever was doing the technical writing for these folks must have been doing it in total isolation from the software.

Menus described in the manual didn’t appear on the screen. Options that were supposed to be chosen weren’t available. Terms used in the manual didn’t make sense to someone who has been a regular Internet user with commonly available shareware such as Mosaic, Netscape, Eudora, WinVN, Trumpet Winsock and others. I did what the manual suggested when things didn’t work, I called my local service provider.

My local company had dealt with “The Lizard” and told me that they had been in contact with them and had provided their technical support with all the parameters required to make the system work. All I needed to do was call the “The Lizard” people and they would get me up and running. I called, long distance, on my dime.

We traded calls for two days. I configured. I set preferences. I named domains and entered passwords and still I couldn’t connect. It seems that, although my local service provider had offered all the necessary configuration data to the them, their tech support computers were never available when I called, so we were left with trial and error. Mostly error. Finally, after several days of adjustment and tinkering I got a connection. It wasn’t simple or easy. It wasn’t “Quickie Internet” by any stretch of the imagination and when it finally occurred, none of the applications could find the called upon server hosts. I couldn’t get the mail host, I couldn’t access the news groups, and when I thought I had succeeded in getting the Web browser to run, I discovered that the “The Lizard” Web browser home page is hard drive loaded with the software to save time on connection — I wasn’t really connected at all. Although saving time on initial connection, one can only wonder about the timeliness and value of a static homepage.

Finally and deservedly, I gave up on “The Lizard”. I called up my local service provider with a regular communication software package. I downloaded the free internet SLIP/PPP software package provided by the company. I followed the page and one half of instructions to configure Trumpet WinSock, Eudora and NetScape, and a half-dozen other internet items such as Archie, Gopher, WinVN and others were all pre-configured. Within twenty minutes of completing the download I was “surfin’ the net”, scanning through more than 7000 news groups, browsing through the pages of online publications on the World Wide Web and reading my e-mail which had been piling up while I’d been trying to make “The Lizard” work. The first e-mail message I originated went to “The Lizard” tech support explaining that I hadn’t gotten the program to work and asking for help. It’s now a week later and I haven’t gotten a response...Strike number three and the batter not just back to the minors, but back to flipping burgers, as far as I’m concerned.

The moral of the story, is that the Internet is becoming big business. It’s always been a quirky, dynamic, exciting and mostly free place. It still is. If you are considering getting on the ‘net, talk to your local provider, don’t be afraid to use the shareware, and save your money by not buying a commercial package that doesn’t do anything better than the software that is in the public domain. There may be truth to the saying that “there is no such thing as a free lunch,” but sometimes the lunch you pay for costs a lot more than the price on the menu.

Hey, if you run into that guy flipping the burgers, say “hello” for me.

ASKSAM & FOLIO VIEWS

a review by Steven Justice

Listen: I am going to tell you about two of the most exciting software releases I have seen in a long time. They are original, powerful, easy to use, elegantly implemented, and they get things right down to the smallest details. And chances are you’ve never heard of them.

FolioVIEWS 3.1 and askSam 2.0 are . . . well, there isn’t a word for what they are, and that is the point. The computer press calls them “databases,” but the genius of these programs is that they do beautifully what ordinary database managers, like Approach and Paradox, do badly or not at all. Conventional databases are irreplaceable when your information fits into neat, short categories, like name, address, price, and quantity. But if you are dealing with information rather than data, the messy information that our lives and work are largely made of, such programs show their limits. Data in database managers are sorted into “fields”: numeric fields, calculated fields, and the like. If you want to store information in the form of longer text, you have to use what many of those programs call “memo fields,” but they usually cannot be formatted or their text searched. Sometimes there is a limit on the number of characters they will accept. Conventional databases are perfect for a company tracking orders, a lawyer billing clients, or a sales firm keeping an address list. They are useless to a journalist preparing an article, an attorney researching precedents, or a student taking notes. FolioVIEWS and askSam fill that gap.

askSam has been around for some years as a DOS program, and has won an almost evangelical following of users enthusiastic about its flexibility and power. The genius of the program is that it combines the capacities of a database with those of a word-processor. An askSam “file” is made up of any number of “documents,” discrete units of information, what other databases call “records.” A document can be as short as a name and address, or as long as a book. It can be made of fields, can have no fields at all, or can combine fields with ordinary text. Here is a short document from one of my askSam files of teaching notes:

The window has the look of a word processor, with a toolbar, formatting bar, and WYSIWYG presentation. Fields are defined here by square brackets, and when I’m entering information I can move automatically from one field to the next by hitting the TAB key, as in any database. The “Date” and “Number” fields can be set to fill in automatically when the new document is created. Each field is fixed-length, but if the text needs more room, I can just hit CTRL-E to toggle into “word-processing mode”

Beneath the two customizable toolbars is a command line from which you can run Boolean (AND/OR/NOT) searches through your entire file, using wildcard characters if you like. The search dialog offers an even more impressive range of searches: you can search in particular fields, search across multiple files — pretty much any combination of specifications you can think of. And the searches are very fast.

At the bottom of the window above is a phrase in color and underlined. It’s just what is looks like: a hypertext jump to another document, as in Windows Help files. You can jump to other documents, or to documents in other files--it takes only a couple of seconds to set up a link. But you can also create hypertext fields that will start another application, execute a menu command, or run a report. These reports are another brilliant aspect of askSam. In conventional databases, you set up reports mainly to print out your data in an attractive form. askSam’s reports will do that, but they also can serve as indices to the documents in your file. I’ve set up a report for the teaching notes file, ordering them by subject and give the date and record number:

The report runs quickly, with a 1MB file it takes about four seconds, and I can click on any item to jump immediately to the document it summarizes.

askSam comes with a set of import filters for Word 6.0, WordPerfect 6.0, and other common text and graphics file formats, and these do a quite good job of preserving formatting and layout. One nice touch is a filter for importing CompuServe forum messages that preserves the links within message threads. It also ships with a large selection of templates, for notes, to-do lists, calendars, internet mail, and address lists that make it easy to set up specialized databases. You can purchase an OCR module for about $100. It looks good from the documentation, but I couldn’t get it to recognize my hand-scanner.

There are downsides to this program. The word-processing mode is distinctly underpowered (it cannot create tables, and has no paragraph styles), and the program fairly screams for a macro language. But it’s a remarkable product. In three weeks, it has become the one application that I leave constantly open on my desktop; and because its drain on system resources is negligible (about 6%, which is quite astonishing for a program of such power), there is no reason not to.

FolioVIEWS covers much of the same territory, and in many ways is even more powerful than askSam--as it ought to be, considering its price. It, too, will preserve information in formatted text or in graphics, will let you establish hypertext jumps within or between files, will import from other file formats, and offers a sophisticated and powerful set of search tools. It is also stunningly beautiful to look at:

Unlike askSam, VIEWS does not use database fields; it solves the problem of classifying information in an even more ingenious way. You can define “levels” of text, create for each level a “style,” like the paragraph styles in a word-processor (the bold text in the example above is in my “Heading 2” style), and specify the hierarchy of levels. It uses those levels in the “reference window” at the top of the screen, which shows you exactly where you are in your document. It uses them also to index your file, in expandable branches, in a “contents” window. Clicking on an entry in the “contents” takes you directly to that point in your file.

There is almost an embarrassment of riches here, of ways to store, to navigate, and to find information. You can annotate a passage with a note; it appears as a little sheet of paper in the margins, which expands into a pop-up window when it is double-clicked. A single click allows you to go to a particular document number. And the searches could not be faster. Though the documentation, which is not very good, does not explain this, it seems that VIEWS indexes your text, word by word, as information is entered. You’d never know it, because the program never slows down, so that searches are quite literally instantaneous. You can also set File|Preferences to have the “contents window” open immediately after every search, showing a count of the number of hits beside each entry in your contents, an elegant way of finding where the information you want is concentrated.

Of course, your computer pays a price for all this power, but the price (for once) is not paid in RAM or resources. It is paid in file size: a 90KB Word 6.0 document, imported into VIEWS, swelled to over 400KB.

Still, everything in this program is done with style, right down to the import filters. The competent filters in askSam are from MasterSoft, which is said to be the industry standard; but VIEWS’s filters are the best I have ever seen. My Word 6.0 files, once imported, look exactly as they do in Word, right down to table columns, line spacing, and indentation. The filter even preserves paragraph styles and bookmarks from Word documents.

VIEWS is being marketed as an electronic-publishing platform — the high price on the Infobase Production Kit (which is what I’ve been reviewing) shows that they are aiming for high-level corporate sales. (There is also a $295 Infobase Manager, which is little more than a run-time viewer.) I wish them the best in this market, but their product should also be known as an elegant tool for individual users.

For all their similarity, I have found uses for both askSam and FolioVIEWS: in the latter I put my research notes, and in the former I put almost my whole life — phone numbers and to-do lists, random notes and thoughts, memos, e-mail . . . These two superb applications give me faith that Windows software hasn’t lost its inventiveness, or its standards of excellence.

ROSENTHAL UNINSTALL

a review by Ed Hoffman

One of the first things any Windows user quickly learns is how untidy the basic Windows program can be. For all its powerful features and capabilities, Windows does have a tendency to hide files all over your system. In fact, nothing short of a two month old puppy can possibly leave as many surprises in its wake. No matter what type of program you install, when it comes time to remove it, you’ll never get all the pieces. This is due in large part to the way Windows loads programs. Unlike DOS applications that typically create a subdirectory to store all the program files, Windows tends to spread an installation over several subdirectories. Even if you are able to track all these files, if you remove the wrong one, your other application programs may no longer operate. The basic operating system relies on several additional files to operate. Unfortunately, many applications you add to your system also include these files. If you remove a few DLLs installed by an application, you might also be removing files that other programs, or even Windows itself, need to operate. Unless you know exactly what files have been added, or changed, or updated, you can quickly get yourself into serious trouble trying to purge individual programs.

A safer way to remove unwanted utilities and other programs is with some type of Windows uninstall program. Several of these programs are available in both the shareware and commercial arenas. In fact, several have been reviewed in past issues of the WinOnLine Review. Some of these programs work very well, while others leave much to be desired or can in fact be dangerous. Most of these uninstalling programs are quite tedious to use. In use, these programs simply keep track of the various files as they are installed. Then when the installation is complete, they create a report of all changes made to your system. Often this is a simple text file listing the file names and locations.

Should you wish to remove a program, you simply use the report to remove the right files. Some of the better uninstall programs in this category will show listings of both the files added and those that were changed. This will help you make sure you do not remove the wrong files. But, despite the usefulness of these programs, the actual removal of files is left to you to perform. This is both a tiresome and time consuming task.

A much faster, safer, and more efficient way to remove unwanted programs is with the Rosenthal UnInstall 3.0 program. An earlier version of this program was reviewed a few months ago. However, this new edition offers enough new features and functionality to justify another review. And like the earlier version, the Rosenthal UnInstall 3.0 program is also worthy of the Works for Me Award for this month. Unlike some more common uninstallers, this program is considerably more sophisticated. It also tracks all the changes made to your system, but rather than simply creating a report, the Rosenthal UnInstall will also allow you the option of automatically deleting all files and directories installed by any DOS or Windows program. The program also tracks and restores your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, and SYSTEM.INI files to their pre-installation condition.

Most people will only need to use a program like this infrequently. However, I’ve come to rely heavily on this program to help keep my system uncluttered. In a typical month I may install as many as 50-75 programs for testing. Before the Rosenthal UnInstall program, it was a real chore removing these programs when I was finished with them. Now, however, keeping my system clean and unclogged is a snap. I now have complete control over what stays on my system and what goes to the bit bucket. Once installed, the Rosenthal UnInstall program permits you to monitor the comings and goings in your system. No matter how large or small any installed program may be, or even where you put it, this program keeps track of each element until you tell it otherwise.

Ideally, any uninstall utility should be run before you add new programs. This allows the program to take a snapshot of your system. This makes keeping track of any additions much easier. Likewise, periodically updating the base snapshot will also help keep your system clean. Some uninstallers may allow you to remove files no matter when they were installed, but this can often be very tricky with many of the less sophisticated uninstallers. Fortunately, though the Rosenthal UnInstall program will allow you to safely remove any program, no matter when it was installed. By simply entering the name of any file in the installed program, this utility will automatically show you all the files that were installed during that session. You can then select all or some of the files to remove.

This program is a Windows program with a DOS interface. Though it resembles a DOS program when it operates, the EXE that runs the program is a Windows program and no PIF file is required. The main reason for using the DOS interface lies in the way the program operates. Running at the DOS level allows Rosenthal UnInstall to perform its various functions faster and to properly keep track of everything.

When using the Rosenthal UnInstall program, the program menu gives you one-key access to all the program functions. To use the program, you should first select the “U” - Update option. This takes a snapshot of your system before you install the new program. Then exit the Rosenthal UnInstall and install the new program. After using the new program for a while, should you decide to remove it, simply start the Rosenthal UnInstall program again. Each file added or changed since your last update is automatically shown on your screen. To delete the program, simply tap the “P” - Purge key and your system is put back the way it was before you installed the new program.

The Rosenthal UnInstall program is also smart enough to recognize files that were already on your system that may have been overwritten by the installation routine. So, for example, if VBRUN300.EXE is already on your system and the installation routine puts another copy in your system directory, the Rosenthal UnInstall program ignores this file and does not add it to the list of new files. If there are any files you wish to keep, simply highlight the file and touch the “E” - Exempt key to remove the file from the list.

Registered users of this utility will also receive two added bonus programs when they register the Rosenthal UnInstall program. The first is called Rosenthal History™. This utility maintains a running list of changes, additions, and deletions made to your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files. This text file lists all changes made to these files and the date and time of the alteration. Another nice touch is that it also shows what the entry was as well as the new entry. This can make tracking changes to your system very simple. The second free utility is Rosenthal  Un-Dup™. This utility optimizes your path statement and finds any duplicate files. You then have the option to ignore or remove these additions.

With the Rosenthal UnInstall program on your system, you’ll be free to experiment with all types of programs with no fear of what lingering pieces they might leave behind. From my personal experience, I can tell you that this is one program that has earned a place on my system. One note of caution, however, since the Rosenthal UnInstall program does delete files, before you tap the “P” - Purge key, always make sure you understand that all the files listed on the screen are about to be deleted.

OCR ALTERNATIVES

a review by Ed Hoffman

Today’s computer hardware systems and the available software programs have certainly changed the way most of us do our daily work. Aside from making each of us more productive, these systems have opened up a wealth of new possibilities. Though many of the tasks we perform daily with our computers are merely improved methods of doing old tasks, there are a few totally new operations we can now accomplish. One such operation that was impossible before today’s powerful computer systems is OCR, or Optical Character Recognition.

Before this technology and software were developed, the only way to get printed documents into your computer as text was through the keyboard. You simply retyped the documents with a word processor. With Optical Character Recognition, it’s a simple matter of scanning a page and running a program to automatically convert printed documents into text that you can edit from within your favorite word processing program. This not only reduces the time necessary to convert these documents but can also eliminate many typing errors.

The only decision facing you is which software to use. After looking over several different commercial packages, the two I was most impressed with were WordScan Plus 3.0 and OmniPage Professional 5.02. Since I couldn’t decide which of these programs I liked better, I’m covering both in this review. This is the coward’s way out. Now you’ll have to decide for yourself which one you want to buy. But, since the companies that produce these programs have merged, you can get either program from the same place.

WordScan Plus 3.0

Having used version 2.0 of the WordScan Plus program, I was somewhat familiar with the operations and features of this program. I must admit though when version 3.0 was released, I was a bit apprehensive. Too often, in recent years, when new versions of established programs are released, the new offering suffers from what can only be called featureitus. In their zeal to be all things to all people, companies have taken otherwise outstanding programs and loaded them up with too many useless gadgets. Fortunately, such is not the case with WordScan Plus 3.0. True, the program now offers more features, but these are features that are actually useful, and not mere bells and whistles.

One nice addition to the program is the Chameleon Toolbar that reproduces the toolbar buttons of the major word processing programs. So, rather than learning a completely new system of buttons, the look of the WordScan Plus program resembles the look of your word processor. The program replicates the toolbar buttons of Word for Windows, WordPerfect for Windows, and AmiPro. The program also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office, Lotus SmartSuite, and Borland Office.

This new version is both powerful yet simple to use. By combining Hewlett-Packard’s AccuPage™ 2.0 technology and Calera’s Adaptive Recognition Technology™ into the program, even degraded, or poor quality original documents can be easily read and converted. Originals such as faxes, multi-generation photocopies, grayscale/color documents, and documents with type as small a 4 points or those with up to 10º of skew can be converted quickly and accurately.

Since I use Word for Windows as my primary word processor, this is the setup I elected to use when installing the WordScan Plus program. When installed, the program allows you to add an Acquire Text option to your File menu. With this you can instantly select a file to convert right from within Word. Once the optical character recognition cycle is complete the program automatically takes you to a save dialog box where you can save the converted document as a Word text file.

When processing a document you have the option of reading the entire page, or selected portions of the page. In processing a partial page you simply draw a zone around the area you want. This feature is very useful if you only want to process certain areas of a page. If the original document has columns, the WordScan Plus program automatically decolumnizes the text and formats the output with the right column text below the text in the left column.

The program may be setup in a variety of ways and templates can be created for the jobs you do very often. Once the program is setup the way you desire, doing the actual optical character recognition work is very simple. Just click one button to acquire the desired file and click another to perform the OCR work. The program is also VERY accurate. When compared to a few OCR programs I have used earlier, the accuracy of this program is nothing short of phenomenal.

I used several different types of documents as a test, in a variety of different conditions from very sharp to barely legible. In each case WordScan Plus did a very good job. On an average page containing 400-600 words, the program only mis-read less than 1%-2% of the characters. These errors were understandable with some documents due to the poor quality of the text. A rather poor letter “M” was read as “III” and a couple of times the letter “e” was read as an “o.” But, all the words that the WordScan Plus program missed were quickly found and corrected with Word’s spell checker.

OmniPage Professional 5.02

When this program arrived I knew it was going to have a tough row to hoe since I was already quite pleased with my other OCR program. But, as is often the case, with quality software programs, OmniPage 5.02 quickly won me over. The program has a remarkable degree of sophistication. With the available setup options you can make the program operate virtually anyway you desire. Personally, I find the AUTO button to be a real time saver. This option allows you to perform OCR work on any document with minimal fuss. The OmniPage program does all the work for you.

Here, you simply open up the program and click on the AUTO button. The program instantly goes to the directory containing your scanned documents and allows you to select the program to be converted. Once selected, the program automatically determines the scan intensity, the page layout, and column structure. These steps are performed within the program and without  any additional input from you. Once the program has all this data it automatically performs the optical character recognition. When the program finishes, it opens the completed document in a text window. Here you can review the document and make any changes. Finally, as a last step, you need only click on File/Save, or the Save button to save the file as a text document. The program permits you the option of saving the file in virtually any word processor format as well as a range of specialty formats for other applications.

Although, I like the AUTO functions for most work, you can also exercise complete manual control over the process if you desire. Here you simply click on the individual buttons to load the image, determine the zones, and perform the OCR. Each of these options also has several sub-options you can choose from to totally customize the operation. When loading the image, for example,  you have the option of loading the image from disk, or performing the scanning operation. The zone button offers you the option of manually creating the zones, or having the program automatically create the zones for your image. With the OCR button, you have the option of performing the OCR, or training the OCR, or deferring the OCR. Training the OCR allows you to setup a special file within the OmniPage program to recognize special characters. Deferring the OCR allows you to delay the recognition step for one or more pages of your document.

Another nice feature of the program is the True Page™ option. Many times when performing OCR work, you simply use the program to recognize and convert text into a form suitable for use in your word processor. Then once the text is converted, you can open the word processor to perform all necessary formatting. However, for those cases where you need to retain the document exactly as it is in the original, the True Page™ option retains all the formatting, fonts, spacing and similar document construction in the converted document. I like to think of this feature as being similar to a photocopy of the document that you can edit.

The program also has a built-in image-editing program called the Image Assistant. With this program you can scan and edit color, grayscale, or line-art images. The program has a variety of tools and features to help almost anyone create great looking images. Power users can access the various features and tools directly while those with less experience may wish to use the Assist Mode. This mode provides the more frequently needed tools in a somewhat more simplified format.

Both the WordScan Plus 3.0 and OmniPage Professional 5.02 are very impressive and after using both for a while I can easily understand why they are leaders in the OCR field. Each program supports a wealth of different scanners and software programs. Overall, I found the WordScan Plus 3.0 program to be a bit more accurate, but the OmniPage Professional 5.02 was somewhat faster. Both are very simple to use and offer a wealth of configuration options. In comparing these programs, I found each to be completely first rate and I would be hard pressed to choose between them. Without a doubt, either program should meet almost any work you may have. But, if you must choose between them, I would recommend that you ask your software retailer to demonstrate both. This way you can select the program that best matches your work methods and requirements.

WordScan Plus 3.0 List price $595.00	OmniPage Professional 5.02 List price $695.00

CLIPART BONANZA

a review by Ed Hoffman

Regardless of what type of project you’re working on, it’s almost certain that a picture or line drawing, positioned appropriately, can add impact to your message. Few of the newsletters, flyers, or mailers prepared today are strictly text. In business today, it is well recognized that pictures can help convey the intended message. Even the menus at your favorite restaurant often have pictures or drawings of food to help make their point. So, where do all these pictures come from? Does every company have access to an artist or photographer to prepare these images? Though some companies might have people on staff for these purposes, it’s much more likely that these companies have availed themselves of the wealth of commercial clipart available on the market today.

Clipart is widely available in a variety of categories or classifications. Virtually anything you could possibly need from A to Z is commercially available in some clipart library. The two principal forms of clipart today are line art and photographs. Likewise, clipart is furnished in two forms: as printed material or on computer disk. Before the widespread use of computers, printed volumes of clipart were the only source of these images. With this style of clipart, the user would simply cut out the required picture from the clip art book and paste it in their application. These pictures were printed in a variety of different sizes on high quality reproduction grade paper. These clipart books are still available in many art stores today. Since the advent of the computer, clipart today is readily obtainable as electronic images. This not only makes clipart more accessible for those needing these images, but since the images are usually imported into computer documents, using and sizing the artwork is also much simpler and easier.

Since I’m frequently asked to put together a variety of business publications, I’ve assembled a considerable variety of images. Although I’ve amassed a sizable collection of clipart, I’m always on the lookout for additional images to suit the variety of jobs I often perform. These images are available from a variety of sources. In fact, many commercial word processing and drawing programs available today ship a variety of clipart as part of their basic program. These images, though useful are often never enough for the jobs most people need clipart to complete. Here, you’ll quickly see the need to build your own clipart library. Without a doubt, the simplest and least expensive way to build your own clipart library is with the commercial clipart collections available today on CD. Three collections I can recommend you take a look at are DeskGallery, Grin Graphics, and FotoROM.

DeskGallery

Since I’ve been using clipart in a variety of forms for quite some time, I’m very familiar with the old cut and paste methods of adding images to my documents. In my pre-computer days, one source of clipart images I relied on quite often was the Dover Collection of clipart books. These books contained virtually anything and everything I needed to add a bit of spark to my documents. When I made the conversion to computer clipart I often found myself longing for the type of clipart I previously used. Not for the cut and paste activity, but for the quality and selection available from Dover.

Well, now with the DeskGallery collection, I can have convenience of computer clipart and the Dover Collection. Sort of like having my cake and eating it too. In addition to the materials from Dover Publications, images from Berol Corporation, Whelan Design Studios, and Visual Delights are also included in this collection. This is truly an impressive offering. The complete collection contains over 30,000 black and white images suitable for almost any category of publication.

These images are furnished in two formats. Most are TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files while some mechanical, electrical, and architectural drawings are in the EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format. The complete collection comes on three CD’s and spans twenty-two separate general categories. These categories range from Advertising to Transportation. Many of these general classifications are also divided into more specific categories. Advertising, for example also has five sub-categories of images: Banners, News, Sales, Signs, and Symbols. This arrangement makes finding the right image much easier.

Also included with this collection is a 540 page manual. This manual shows all the images in thumbnail form. Finding just the right image for any project is quite simple and very fast using this manual. First, find the general category of the clipart, then look through the various sub-categories to find the specific type of image you need. Then look over the assorted thumbnails to find the image you want. Each image has the file name directly below the thumbnail. To retrieve the image simply insert the correct CD in your drive and find the appropriate directory and sub-directory. Then, look for the file name within the directory. To further simplify your search, all the directory information as well as the number of the CD are listed across the top of each page of the manual.

The graphics included with the DeskGallery collection are well thought out and very well done. The complete collection contains images for almost any situation imaginable. Whether you’re creating a newsletter or simply new inter-office documents, you are almost certain to find just the right graphic to add impact to your text.

Grin Graphics

If your clipart requirements tend to be more directed toward cartoon characters the Grin Graphics collection might be just what you need. This gallery is a shareware collection containing 158 images in the PCX format. The file arrangement is a somewhat obscure listing of numeric file names. However, once registered, you’ll receive a complete, easy to read, index of all the images contained in the collection.

The Grin Graphics collection is a gathering of several off beat humorous cartoon images of people and animals in a variety of settings. They are all well drawn and may be used alone or combined with any paint program that can import PCX files. Windows Paintbrush works very well for this purpose. Here you’ll need only use the Paste From option to combine the various images.

Though these images are very well suited for almost any application, I’ve found these images to be very useful for those applications where a bit of levity or frivolity is appropriate. For example, I recently had occasion to conduct a seminar for a local computer group. Instead of using the standard business overhead transparencies for this presentation I thought I’d spice it up a bit by using the Grin Graphics images. I added a few of these graphics to several overheads that simply listed bulleted text. This not only made the overheads more interesting, but added just the right touch to lighten up the otherwise boring text display.

While you may not need these images for every project, you should certainly find more than enough uses for these humorous graphics to justify keeping the Grin Graphics images as part of your clipart collection. I know that they sure have earned a spot in my collection.

FotoROM, Volume 3

Though very useful for a wide range of applications, clipart is not always the best choice for all publications. Depending on the type of project, you may occasionally need to use photographs to convey the intended message. For these applications, the FotoROM collection of photographs may be an ideal alternative to hiring a photographer. The FotoROM collection, Volumes 1 and 2 were reviewed a few months ago. Now, Volume 3 has been released and is a worthwhile addition to this collection.

As with the earlier release, Volume 3 is furnished on a CD. In addition to the CD, this volume also includes a series of printed sheets showing all the photographs in this collection. If you already have the earlier volumes, these sheets can be added to the FotoROM notebook. An updated index sheet, covering all three volumes is also included. This collection contains 64 very high quality photographs that are suitable for a wide range of publishing applications.

To reduce the space requirements for your documents and to help speed the design process the individual images in the FotoROM collection come in two forms: high resolution and low resolution. The low resolution graphics have a 72 dpi resolution and will allow you to load and position the photographs faster in the design process. Once the design is complete and everything is the way you desire, these low resolution photographs are exchanged with the 300 dpi high resolution photos before sending the final job to the output device.

The high resolution photographs are scanned at 750 to 1300 dpi to achieve maximum clarity and quality. The format used is 24-bit RGB color. The files on the CD are all in the TIFF format so these images can be used on a wide range of systems with virtually any graphics or publishing program. The average image size for the photographs is 4x6 inches, and the average file size for the high resolution images is 6.5 Mb. The low resolution images have an average file size less than .5 Mb.

These photographs are well suited for a wide range of applications and may be used where ever general stock photographs are appropriate. And this collection is definitely an inexpensive alternative to custom photography. The images in this library cover a wide range of areas. Many of the photographs show men and women in a variety of situations. If your publishing projects often require an occasional general interest or stock photograph, the FotoROM collection may be just what you need.

SMARTDRAW

a review by Steven Jay Cohen

“Oh no! Not another drawing program!!!” It gets like that after awhile, doesn't it? I thought exactly the same thing when SmartDraw first came to my attention. Nonetheless, I dutifully proceeded with the installation to get a good look at it. And guess what? It turns out that SmartDraw is quite a bit more than “just another drawing program”.

SmartDraw is a powerful Windows flow chart and diagram drawing application. Very intuitive and feature rich, it goes head to head with its much more expensive commercial brethren: Visio and SnapGrafx. The package includes a large library of clip art and design style templates plus a full complement of editing features that permit text placement above, below or inside shapes.

SmartDraw Toolbar

 As illustrated above, the toolbar contains one click access to all drawing tools and many ready-to-use, sizable shapes. Take note of the text editing tool buttons. One does not often see superscript and subscript functions within such easy reach. All the graphical elements in a drawing are remarkably flexible. For purposes of flowcharting, lines generated for an illustration can easily be made “sticky”, adhering to the border of the target shape, even if you later decide to move things around. Whenever text is placed within a shape, you may elect to allow the shape to expand with the amount of text horizontally, vertically, or both.

SmartDraw's toolset produces a professional looking result in a surprisingly short time. There are several equally effective avenues of approach. If you wish to begin from scratch, then you would simply begin using the above tools to construct your drawing. Border and line styles, thickness and color, as well as fill and background colorings are all accessible via the items found listed in the drop-down menus. Color choices are made easily by clicking on the desired color within a pop-up palette.

As easy as that is, you need not work at it quite so hard. Included in the package are several libraries of pre-drawn items. SmartDrawings can be kept close at hand as a floating toolpad.

SmartDraw Shape Libraries

Buttons for all library toolpads may be displayed in your choice of three sizes and changed at will. I found the included Forms Library especially useful. By combination and repetition of these shapes with easy click and drag mouse movements, any number of custom forms can be quickly generated. Of course you may create and save your own libraries of shapes for future use.

The 3D/Shadowing Options dialogue is an outstanding feature of SmartDraw. Many different styles of shadowing, color combination, and three dimensionality are built into the application. This dialog box not only presents quite a number of pre-defined styles, it even permits the user to manipulate several variables on the spot. It gives immediate feedback, displaying a sample that illustrates the choices.

As a fully compliant OLE server, SmartDraw inherently works well with professional office suite packages. Embedding a drawing into a document goes as smooth as a whistle. Note that the documentation recommends 1 MB free memory. “Actually, 2MB or more would be prudent to support this resource hungry feature.”

Frankly, I am thoroughly impressed with the power and grace of this application. It easily produces great looking flowcharts, diagrams and other business graphics. Furthermore, it is shareware. Try it for free. If you like it, and decide that it is something you would like to keep around, you will still pay far less than you would for any of its commercial equivalents. Registration promises additional templates, clip art, and a printed manual. I guess you could say that the smart money is on SmartDraw.

TC's Toolbox
TC’S TOOLBOX

a review by David Morgan

TC’s Toolbox v2.21 is a collection of nine separate “tools” that perform a variety of tasks under Windows. The Toolbox includes a phone dialer, text editor, font viewer, system resources monitor, calendar, stopwatch, and a “code” reference table. There is a utility that saves the contents of the clipboard to a file and a hex file viewer that displays files in several formats, and even plays sound files. Each utility supplied with TC’s Toolbox is a stand-alone program that can run independently of the others. What follows is a brief description of the utilities.

TEXT EDITOR

The Text Editor allows users to edit small text files. Some of its features include search and replace, cut, copy, paste, undo, typeover, and user-defined fonts and colors.

There is a button bar for quick access to most of the program’s functions. You can change all or selected text to upper or lower case and insert page breaks. The Tab Replace feature is used to replace Tab, Page Break or extended characters (either in selected text or in the entire document) with a string of text specified by the user. The Fixed Pitch Fonts menu option displays fixed pitch fonts from which you can choose the current display font. The All Fonts menu item shows all available fonts for selection. There is a rather small file size limitation to the editor. I was not able to load a file larger than 18k.

PHONE DIALER

The Phone Dialer uses your computer’s modem to place ordinary voice telephone calls. Phone numbers can be dialed by using a mouse to click on the number buttons, or by typing the numbers into a window. After entering the number, the Dial Phone button is pressed which sends the number to the modem. Once the number has been dialed, you simply pick up the phone’s receiver and turn off the modem by selecting the Modem Off button. A Call Timer feature lets you time the length of phone calls and can be configured to start automatically when a number is dialed.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent dialing directory in which to save phone numbers. The Phone Dialer uses a history list to store numbers dialed during the current session. This list can be used to reselect a number previously dialed during the current session, but the phone numbers are not saved on exit. With each session, new numbers must be entered.

Hex File Viewer

Files up to one gigabyte in size can be displayed in hexadecimal and ANSI/ASCII character format with the Hex File Viewer. Files are loaded for display using a standard open file dialog box. Drag and Drop from the Windows File Manager is not supported. Files may also be loaded using the File Find feature that works by searching for files based on a user specified filename pattern, for example: *.DLL. Only one drive at a time can be searched.

Once a file is loaded into the viewer, several operations can be performed on it. Compare it with another file to determine if the two are identical; if they are not, the differences in both files will be displayed. Loaded files can be searched for strings of characters or hexadecimal values, and they can be edited and printed. Operations can also be performed on groups of files. For example, file attributes can be changed on multiple files at once and multiple files can be deleted. There is also a feature for copying files.

The Hex File Viewer supports displaying loaded files in a variety of formats. Graphics files (BMP, ICO, WMF and RLE) can be viewed as pictures by selecting the View Picture menu option. Sound files (WAV, MID and RMI) can be played with the Play Sound option provided your system is equipped with the necessary sound drivers. Archive file contents (ZIP and ARC) can be listed and icons within EXE and DLL files can be displayed.

Besides the file management and viewing features in the Hex File Viewer, the System Menu lets users set a computer’s system date and time. There is a Show System Info option that displays system information such as DOS and Windows versions, processor type and current operating mode. The viewer provides options for setting display fonts and colors.

CODE REFERENCE

The Code Reference utility provides a lookup reference guide for six types of  computer information.

A “code” table is selected from the drop down menu and then loaded into a viewing window. The following information is available.

ANSI Codes:  	Displays the ANSI character set with the decimal and hexadecimal value for each character and control codes.

ASCII Codes:	The ASCII character set is displayed with decimal values, hexadecimal values and control codes for each ASCII character.

Binary Chart:	This chart displays the decimal and hexadecimal values for each bit position from 00 to 31.

File Extensions:	Commonly used file name extensions are show along with the types of files that generally use those extensions.

AT Commands:	A list of modem AT commands and their definitions are shown. These commands are used to control how your modem behaves.

DOS Errorlevel:	Shows a list of codes returned by certain DOS programs.

FONT VIEWER

The Font Viewer displays fonts as well as font information. The entire character set of a font and information such as font type and font family can be shown. A displayed font’s size is easily changed using a scroll bar and its style can be set to bold, italic, underline, and strike through.

The ANSI standard character and character code in decimal and hexadecimal are displayed for the selected character. This information is useful for inserting characters into other applications. An Edit Box is used to hold selected characters that can be copied to the clipboard for pasting to another application. Quick access buttons allow direct access to commonly used file menu and edit menu items.

SAVE IT!

The Save It! utility in TC’s Toolbox is a handy feature that provides a quick way to transfer information from the Windows clipboard to a file. Text and bitmaps from the clipboard are pasted into the Save It! program and then saved to a TXT or BMP file. The example below shows a screen capture of the System Monitor utility after it was saved to a BMP file.

SYSTEM MONITOR

The System Monitor is a Windows resource monitor that displays System (kernel), Graphic Device Interface (GDI), User and Free Memory resources. It can be configured to give a warning message if resource usage reaches a user-defined level. The System Monitor displays current date, time, and how long Windows has been running. It also displays program and system information.

STOPWATCH

TC’s Toolbox includes a Stopwatch for timing events. It displays elapsed time in milliseconds, seconds, minutes and hours. A Start/Stop button is pressed to begin counting elapsed time, and pressed again to stop counting. Up to four “lap times” can be saved by clicking one of the four save buttons. A print option lets you select which lap save list box is printed.

BIG CALENDAR

This is a very basic calendar that displays in month format. Some common holidays and other special events are already loaded. Events can be scheduled yearly, monthly, weekly, for one day only or as a multiple of a week day. An example of the latter would be to schedule an event for the last Friday of every month. When making a new entry, you first select the type of event (yearly, monthly, etc.), select the date of the event, enter the text to display on the calendar, select a color for the text, and then press enter. Print options let you print either a graphic month calendar of the current month displayed in the calendar window, or a text year calendar from January to December of the current year. There is an option to print to file.

Most of the TC’s Toolbox utilities are quite useful. At less than $2.00 per utility, you certainly cannot beat the price. Download it and give a test drive.

VOYETRA SOUND SUITE

a review by Ted Tatman

If you one of the reasons you like Windows so much is for the multimedia graphics and sound capabilities, have I got a package of programs for you! Sound Suite for Windows from Voyetra Technologies is a grab bag full of useful tools for creation and manipulation of sound (both digital and MIDI) and the viewing of graphic files and video. Here’s what’s included:

First, AudioStation. AudioStation resembles a typical home stereo system and lets you easily access WAV and MIDI files plus play audio CDs on your CD-ROM drive. You can also access your sound board’s mixer controls, and put together “playlists” of sound files.

Next comes AudioView, a fairly full featured WAV file editor. AudioView has just enough muscle to make it the only WAV editor that most users will ever need. Included are volume normalization, fade-in and fade-out controls, echo effects and a zoom-in control for precise editing. You can convert WAV files to VOC format and vice versa. Plus, there’s a drag and drop icon that allows you to embed audio into OLE documents. The only major thing that I found it lacking in is some form of control to adjust equalization. Plus, AudioView has an annoying habit (to me, anyway) of associating itself with files with the WAV file extension in File Manager every time it’s launched. (When I click on WAV files in File Manager, I prefer a smaller, simpler program to play WAVs.)

Voyetra’s VideoStation allows you to preview Video For Windows clips (which have AVI extensions) in mini or full screen modes. You can create playlists of videos as well. It’s as simple to use as a VCR. (Well, maybe simpler for some people!)

ImageStation is built around an interface that resembles a 35mm slide viewing table and lets you create slide shows and presentations on your computer. It supports a wide variety of graphics formats, including PCX, BMP, GIF, JPG, TIF, TGA, and PhotoCD files. ImageStation also makes it very easy to add voice narration and background music to presentations.

If you like to experiment with or create MIDI files, you’ll love MIDI Orchestrator. MIDI Orchestrator resembles a professional audio mixing console to let you modify arrangements of MIDI files. Also included is another application, MIDI Orchestrator Plus that provides a full command set for creating and editing MIDI files. And, you can even print out sheet music of your MIDI creations.

Sound Events lets you hook WAV files to be played automatically during system events like Windows startup and exit, resizing windows, opening of programs, and common Windows buttons. It’s not nearly as full featured as other utilities on the market that do this (like Wired For Sound Pro and Icon Hear-It) but gives you more opportunities to connect sound to system events than come with Windows 3.x by default.

Say It! makes it simple to record and embed sound files in Windows applications. If you find yourself wanting to add voice files to word processing, database or spreadsheet programs (or any Windows program that supports OLE), then Say It! will certainly come in handy.

Jukebox lets you audition and create playlists of CD Audio, WAV and MIDI files. You can mix all three types of files in the same playlist if you wish.

Also included in Sound Suite are Audio Calendar, a desktop calendar that runs as wallpaper behind Program Manager, MIDI Screen Saver, that plays MIDI files while your favorite screen saver is on, Sound Script, a sound and image presentation creator, Voice Net, to send voice and text messages on Novell 3.11 networks, and Level Controller, to access your sound card volume with a single keystroke.

Besides getting these programs on 3.5 inch disks, you receive an accompanying CD-ROM with over 400 MIDI music files in many different styles, lots of sound effects and music in WAV format, several AVI video clips and many graphic files (in 8-bit BMP and 24-bit TIF format) suitable for presentations or as wallpaper. The program files are on the CD-ROM as well, for easy and fast installation.

I found Voyetra’s Sound Suite quick and easy to use, and the simple but elegant interface of each program looked great. It also performed well on a late beta version of Windows 95. While not all of its applications are as powerful as some of the stand alone products on the market, Sound Suite will probably do 95% of what you want to do with multimedia. (I’d call it the “Microsoft Works” of multimedia.)

Voyetra’s Sound Suite For Windows comes with an uninstall utility and a 30 day money back guarantee. For $99.95 direct from the company (plus shipping) it’s a great deal for so many fine multimedia programs and sound and graphics files.

Games
GAMES: MAGIC HEXAGONS & COMET BUSTERS

a review by Phyllis Phlegar

When I was a kid, I often played with hand-held puzzles that had flat blocks inside them, with shapes, numbers or letters painted on top. The object of the game was to move the blocks (usually sixteen of them) around each other to create a picture, or correctly arrange numbers or letters in some order. To rearrange the blocks, you would often have to move some that were already in the right place, out of place, and then back in. It was like a flat Rubic’s Cube.

Magic Hexagons

I had forgotten about that game until I played the Windows computer game called Magic Hexagons. This is basically a simple game, where you have a large hexagon (that serves as the game board) with small  hexagons of different colors inside it. You move the colors together within this framework. The game is over when all the like colors are connecting. Very simple... but like the old hand-held puzzles, you have to plan ahead, moving hexagons around in anticipation of getting them all linked up.

In this simple game there are varying stages of difficulty. You can start with a small hexagon-shaped game board, and only two colors. Next in the difficulty chain would be to enable the timer and try to solve the puzzle more quickly. To move up in difficulty, the hexagon size can be increased from a large postage stamp to most of the screen.

Magic Hexagons was rather addicting... Once I ran through it a few times with two colors and a small size, I was compelled to go for larger game boards. Soon I added another color, for a total of three, and then four... It wasn’t long before I just had to try more. You are given up to six colors to choose from.

Soon I discovered the timer, but I didn’t really like using it. I found that keeping track of the time was a little more competitive than I wanted the game to be. I used the timer as a novelty at first, and did notice that I was getting a bit faster. It was also handy to keep track of things. If the phone rang, and I talked for a while, I’d get a reality check on the time spent when I got back to the game and saw that 45 minutes had elapsed!

Since this game is played on a computer screen, and not a physical puzzle to hold in your hand, the only way to move the little colored hexagons is with the mouse. Hexagons are moved around in a circle, rotating around one hexagon. Here’s where planning ahead comes in: Often, you have a clump of similarly colored hexagons but have to move a few out of the way as you move other colors through to the other side, where like colors reside.

I especially liked the fact that two mouse buttons could be used to move the hexagons around. The left button moves a circle of hexagons clockwise, and the right moves them counter-clockwise. The only way to move the little hexagons is circularly... which just adds to the fun.

You can also change the speed at which the little hexagons move. Another option allows you to “animate”. I liked the animation better; it was easier to see each move.

It’s no stretch to say that I like Magic Hexagons. Simple yes, but not necessarily easy ... and it certainly kept my attention. I find myself goofing off when I should be working, and playing another game. You’ll have to try it yourself.

Comet Busters

Did you enjoy Space Invaders, the rage of the early 80’s? I did... and took the game as far as it would go. When I played Comet Busters, there was a similarity, as far as the “shoot ‘em up” aspect went... but my, how things have changed.

Your Comet Busters space ship is not a new model, it’s a V-6 with a broken AM radio. Your mission is to blast up comet chunks, and you get 20 points for the big ones, 50 points for the medium sized-ones and 100 points for the little ones. Once in a while, an alien space ship cruises through, and if you blast it before it blasts you, there are 250 points in the deal.  “Cronies,” the creatures who sometime inhabit the comet chunks, are worth 200 points.

But should a chunk run into you before you’ve blasted it to bits, your ship blows up. Same if the alien gets you first. And even though you have six “ships” to use, you can run out of them in a hurry. Comet Busters can be played by up to four people at a time, so you can try and blow each other up too. A joystick makes the game easier, but it’s not necessary as the game can be enjoyed with your keyboard’s arrow keys and space bar.

There are several levels of difficulty in Comet Busters:  simple, challenging and impossible. While in the first three levels, the comet chunks look like asteroids.  Level four’s chunks are billiard balls! Level five’s chunks are spikey and spiny...while it is hard for any shoot ‘em up game to have any new tricks, Comet Busters certainly has a sense of humor.
