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.

READER SURVEY

As we pass our fourth anniversary of producing the WinOnLine Review™ and its predecessors, we are feeling very satisfied with our various evolutions and where we are today. However, we don’t feel that comfortable -- we never will. There is always a way to improve, through technology, content, distribution, etc. We hope you will take the time to help us continue to develop and grow by answering the following quick series of questions asking for a few facts and opinions. We have tried to make it easy to reply; see the options at the end of the page.

The results are entirely confidential and for our own internal use and guidance only. There’s one thing that WOLR will never become: complacent.

Quick Takes and Pure Opinion from Wolly

ELECTRO-CUTE

What next, Lethal-Injection?

Yeah, it’s about time the old Hangman game got updated! Rather than assembling a man to face the gallows, the capital punishment folks at StuSoft advance the art to the 20th Century. Not with a chair, but with conveniently placed electrical outlets. Sarcasm aside, this is an ok execution (okay, I tried) of the game, with a set of alpha buttons for your guesses. Only a few words come with the game, you’ll have to add your own vocabulary. EC1_11.ZIP (118K) works well, makes some great WAV sounds if you are so equipped, and can be registered for $15.00.

MORTGAGE DESIGNER

A roof over your head

Here’s an old fave of Wolly’s that has gotten a lot more intense than the last time he checked it out. If you are in the market for a home, a mortgage (which naturally follows), or are considering refinancing since you missed the low rate boat a couple years ago, grab MD303.ZIP (1168K) and run with it. This will help you by doing ‘what ifs’, calculate payments, compare rate deals, even analyze a refinance option’s wisdom. Check out the amortization schedules, pretty graphs, and even see the tax effect putting a roof over your head has! Take Wolly’s advice and grab this one and register it for $39.00 when you find out how much you like it.

A MUSIC TUTORIAL

C# program:

This program has modules all over the place to help reinforce learning music notation, specifically aimed at piano. While some of the exercises are keyboard-based, some are simply notes on a staff for you to identify by pressing buttons with the names of the notes. Nearly every exercise is presented with the feel of a game, with scoring, little frowny faces when you miss -- there’s even one where when you identify the note there’s a little rocket you can launch to blast it off the staff! Focus on right or left hand sessions, scales, chording, key signatures, sight reading, and more. A sound card would be a good idea to get the full impact of MTWIN11A.ZIP (308K) and MTWIN11B.ZIP (320K), a piano tutor that is good for lesson reinforcement, and is also fun, educational, and only $25.00.

POSTER

Science Fair fodder

This surprisingly versatile yet simple poster program is only $10.00. Originally created for his child, it’s very intuitive and yet offers some features that you might not expect. Insert BMP or WMF graphics, or an OLE object, and when it comes time to choose a font, you get a screenful previewing all of those available, making your choice a breeze. Add simple borders, color, and when it comes time to print, choose how big you want your banner or poster. POSTER14.ZIP (109K) is designed to enlarge your artwork and print it on up to 25 pages for your assembly. Nicely done!

TRUE TYPE FONTS

Decorative

   ABATTF.ZIP (113K)

   ACATTF.ZIP (24K)

   ALLEMTTF (111K)

Wolly urges that you read the documentation with each font and abide by the shareware principles.

AAA SEE SIZE SUBS

Hey, this is a family computing publication!

Scan and graph drives and directories, navigate down through the abyss to see what’s dominating your hard drive. See percentages and totals and check out pieces of pie. Wolly obviously has a tapeworm in his SYSTEM subdirectory! Grab a little AAASS101.ZIP (17K). Hey, don’t make a face -- I was referring to the fact that it’s a small program, and yours for $10.00.

FINANCIAL FREEDOM GRAPHICS CONVERSION UTILITY

A long name for a short program

Not terribly exciting, but freeware. Seems like many of my programs don’t deal with WMF files. FFGCU browses and displays both WMF and ICO files and will convert them to a BMP at a flash. FFGCU.ZIP (40K) takes up little disk real estate and could be handy to have around.

ULTIMOD

Listen . . .  MODern music

Play MOD files with this simple and straightforward player. Listen to 16 bit stereo files at up to 44.1khz, adjust the volume, recall the last five files you listed to, and, well, that’s about it; registration is $20.00. ULTMD31A.ZIP (394K) does the job, and included a couple sample files for Wolly to boogie to.

BETTER ALT-TAB

Is it?

Toggle Booleans has brought us many neat pieces of shareware in the past, and here’s another worth your consideration. This Better Alt-Tab delivers one screen, with all your choices instead of the flash of each as you alt-tab yourself in a frenzy, going ‘round and ‘round until you stop on your target. An interesting idea that takes only a tiny bit of resources, although registering ALTTAB.ZIP (80K) takes $20.00, a lot more of my financial resources than Wolly thinks it may be worth. However, you do get Toggle Boolean’s Customer Fun Pack, with wallpaper and screensavers for your enjoyment.

Lament (a commentary)

Wolly has to kiss a lot of frogs to find his princes (and paupers). This Briefs column was produced with much gnashing of teeth as Wolly watched program after program bomb or produce only partial success.

He still ponders why authors (even those with membership in the coveted Order of the Snake) put out shareware that won’t install properly or doesn’t work. Wolly was getting his mane trimmed this past week, and one of the team meticulously fluffing his coif (a rabid computer gamer) proclaimed, “I don’t go near shareware!” Springing to the industry’s defense, Wolly asked “Why not????”

“Shareware doesn’t work, and if you have problems, you can’t get support,” was the answer. Wolly argued in vain, at least until he threateningly bared his teeth and received a cowering apology. He didn’t notice the artful cutout in the fur on the back of his head until he returned to his lair.

Authors, the next time you let a program loose (release 1.31c, the seventh in seven weeks) in a rush, without thorough testing, consider that you are not only contributing to your own demise, but to the reputation of an entire industry.

And do we really need another Windows resource monitor???????

 WDLLFND

a review by Ed Hoffman

One of the most startling aspects of working with Windows is the sheer number of support files necessary to run some programs. Some of the more common file types employed in a wide range of different programs are DLL’s, DRV’s and VBX’s. Many times, while installing and setting up various programs, you’ll undoubtedly acquire a collection of many duplicates. Some of the more well written Windows programs will ask you if you’d like any files, already on your system, replaced with those furnished by the program being installed. However, less well behaved offerings, will simply over write the existing programs or add duplicate files to the program directory. If you stay on top of your system, you may be able to catch some of these before they can become a problem. But, if you’re like the rest of us, I suspect you’ve got more that a few duplicate, unnecessary, or unwanted DLL, DRV, and VBX files on your system.

Likewise, if you decide to delete a program from your system, you’ll many times leave a variety of these support files behind. When it comes time to prune these files, you’re left to figure out a wide assortment of cryptic file names. More often than not, rather than risking the chance of removing a file you might need for another program, you’ll leave all these files right where they are, with the end result being a very bloated hard drive. Well, with WDLLFnd 1.3 utility, you’ll finally have a workable solution to this problem.

In use the WDLLFnd utility searches your system for all EXE, DLL, DRV and VBX files. This search may be set to run through your complete system or only the drive you may wish to specify. If this is too broad a search for your requirements, you may even set the program to only search selected directories. Once the search is complete, the utility displays three different lists, or windows. The first, at the top, is the Filename List and includes the filename, an internal product version number, the file version last modified date/time, file size, and the directory where it is located. The second, or middle, window contains the DLL List. This shows every DLL referenced by another program or common routine. The windows at the bottom is the Exception List. This area lists all errors found in the search. Typically these will list duplicate programs, DLLs found but not referenced, and programs referenced where no DLL was found.

Double clicking on any of these three lists will show the relationships between the different lists. If, for example, you clicked on a file name in the top list, the common routines called by this program will be displayed in the other lists. Together, these lists will give you a complete picture of the status, function, and relationship of the various DLL, DRV and VBX files on your system. You can then make the decisions about keeping or deleting these files.

One word of caution. Though this utility is very good and the information it shows is remarkably accurate, be very careful. Due to the way some Windows programs are written (particularly Visual Basic programs), the WDLLFnd utility may not be able to correctly identify linkages or relationships. So, before deleting any suspect files, copy the file to a floppy. This way, if the DLL, DRV, or VBX call is buried in a program where WDLLFnd cannot find it, you’ll have a copy to replace the missing file, when a particular program calls for it. Personally, I always keep a floppy with the support files I think I’ll no longer need. Then, on those occasions, where I’ve trimmed a little too close to the bone, I still have a copy of what was removed. It’s much simpler to copy the file back to the hard drive, this way, than it would be to try to find another copy of the missing file.

With the WDLLFnd 1.3, utility loaded on your system, you’ll begin to gain control over the massive amount of duplicate and unnecessary support files. With this program you’ll be able to see the relationships and connections these files have before you decide to take them for a one way ride to the bit bucket. After all, the meager registration fee required for this program is considerably cheaper than buying a new hard drive when your existing drive fills up. But, as mentioned above, before you delete anything, it is always a good idea to keep a backup copy of anything you remove. This way, if you get carried away in the excitement of gaining more hard drive space, and delete something you really need, you’ll have a copy to reinstall.

 ABOVE & BEYOND

a review by Steven Justice

Do you really need your PIM? I didn’t need mine: that realization hit me suddenly a couple of months ago. Here was this 5MB directory supporting an application that was slow to open and too demanding of system resources to keep open. Whenever I had to consult or change my schedule, there was the dulling routine: crank the thing up, watch the splash screen for a while, look at one detail, close the application, and wait for it to finish unloading. What I needed was a small, fast application that would help me keep track of my schedule. I found Above & Beyond, and I’m hooked. Let me say right away that if you need a contact manager, Above & Beyond won’t do it for you, at least not by itself. For it is not really a PIM. It does one job--scheduling--marvelously well. The main screen is simple:

The little monthly calendar is a floating window that can be resized and repositioned. As in most PIMs, clicking on a date takes you to the daily schedule for that date. Above & Beyond will also show a scheduling grid for the month to come; there, too, clicking on a date takes you to that day’s schedule:

But it’s the scheduling window itself, and the dialog in which you enter events and tasks, that show the program’s power and flexibility. Tasks and events all appear in the same window. They and the times associated with them are listed as text, not graphically as they are in PIMs modeled on paper planners. This simplicity is in fact a clue to the ingenuity of the program. It does not treat tasks and events as different sorts of things: they are the same thing, just as they are in real life. You might, in other programs, enter a meeting on your schedule and a trip to the post office on your to-do list, but both of them are things that take up a certain amount of time. The only difference is that you go to the meeting at an arranged time and you go to the post office when you can make the time. The authors of Above & Beyond recognize this fact and have shaped their program around it. You enter all new items, whether they are appointments or errands, in the same dialog box:

No matter what sort of item you enter, you give it a duration: the length of a meeting, or the time you expect to take going to the post office. The program makes entering times easy: if you enter a number less than 100 it assumes you mean minutes, but if you enter a number over 100 it assumes you mean hours and minutes--it reads “90” as an hour and a half, but “330” as three-and-a-half hours. If it is a fixed event, like a conference, you enter a starting time, and the word “floating” changes to read “fixed.” You check the item as “scheduled” or not, “firm” or not, and that is one aspect of the program’s genius. If you mark something as “scheduled” but do not provide a starting time--if, in other words, you make it a “floating” event--Above & Beyond will schedule it for you, fitting it into the unscheduled time in your day. Of course you don’t have to settle for the time it assigns: you can re-order items by dragging them up and down with the mouse. And it will keep track of your day as time passes. I took the first screen shot above at 10:36 this morning, and the floating task “Write WOLR review” was scheduled to start then. It’s now 11:03, and I haven’t yet marked it as done, so that job is now scheduled to start at 11:03 AM.

This can be a little disconcerting when you first use the program: watching uncompleted, floating tasks continually being assigned new times can make you feel persecuted, as if the computer has become your mother and is heckling you about undone jobs. But that eventually came to strike me as an advantage, because it has taught me to estimate more accurately the time certain jobs would take. It also has taught me how much unscheduled time I need in the course of a work day, and Above & Beyond will let you tell it how much time to leave clear. And in any case, if you fall behind, rescheduling a task to another day is easy: you can select that task on the schedule, move down to the monthly calendar, and right-click on the day you want to move it to. Or, if you just want to leave the tasks where they are and let those still undone to move to the next day, you can. At the end of your day, click the little suitcase icon on the toolbar, and all undone jobs will move to tomorrow.

But that is not all. There is also a to-do list view, with tasks arranged in order or priority. You can re-arrange the priority by dragging with the mouse, and Above & Beyond will fit the tasks into the holes in your schedule, assigning the highest priority to the first slot where there’s room for it, the next to the first slot remaining that has room for it, and so on.

That’s it. Or rather, that’s almost it. The “Worktools” menu can be edited to let you launch any application on your computer. There is a little note-keeping utility where you can assign notes to particular headings and scan through those headings; that utility can also double for a phone book. And there is a phone dialer. But these look almost like afterthoughts: the dialer can’t recognize phone numbers on its own, even when you’ve selected them with the mouse, so you must type or paste in the phone number, which seems to me rather to miss the point. You modify the “Worktools” list by changing its configuration in Notepad, and as far as I can tell you can’t specify a working directory for the applications you add to the list.

But these little gestures at making Above & Beyond fit the model of a conventional PIM belie its real character and power as a scheduler. If you need a phone book and dialer and a capacity to keep notes, you should supplement it with applications that do those jobs, like Metz Phones or askSam. But in doing the job it’s made to do, there is nothing like it.

 WINEBASE

a review by Bob Gollihur

	oenology: study of wine and the making of wine wino: me

I have long been a fan of the grape. My lovely wino wife and I have trekked to California, New York State, and even (gasp) Pennsylvania wineries to increase our depth of knowledge and appreciation of wines. No snobbery involved, we’ve just found that the more we absorb (knowledge, that is) the better we are able to properly couple food with wine to enhance them both. I can even say Sauvignon or Gerwurztraminer without stumbling.

WineBase is a terrific program that goes far beyond being a database -- this is a thorough and well thought out tool to supervise your cellar and keep track of what you have. Okay, we have not yet gotten to the point of cellaring wines; the only way to age a bottle in this house is to hide it! However, we do like to keep a few mixed cases on hand at all times so we have an appropriate match to our cuisine or company. It’s easy to let some bottle get away from you and past their primes, especially in the case of most whites, when they are out of direct sight. This program can help you maximize your enjoyment, and if you’re really serious about wine -- WineBase is a must!

I haven’t started to dig and outfit my cellar yet, but in my mind, it would be the first thing I’d do to get started with WineBase. By diagramming my storage locations I can then prescribe the location where it is stored, for easy retrieval.

Then, it’s time to catalog those liquid assets. As you can see, entry is made easier by the use of drop-down boxes that retain prior entries. A wide selection of varieties is available to which you can add your own. Note also that after you select a variety, the GoodFrom / BestAt / GoodTo date fields are automatically calculated from the vintage date; you can, of course, change them if the particular wine differs from the norm. Also note the section containing the four fields, the first of which is labeled “style.” These are user defined labels you can change to your own preferences.

WineBase focuses on drinking wine, not just storing it, a focus we share. If you are not particularly serious or knowledgeable about wine, remember that bottle of white wine you got as a Christmas gift from a salesman -- you know, the one you lost in the back of the liquor cabinet. When you finally opened it, you thought the bum really stiffed you with a cheap white! Maybe he did, or perhaps it was past its prime. Even those with small collections can lose track and allow some of their wines slip past prime to barely drinkable. WineBase helps you to avoid that trap. The main viewing screen lists your wines, and with a right click you can edit an entry. A right click brings the screen that follows.

Along with a prettier presentation of the facts is a graph visually telling the story of this particular vintage. Another click will bring a notepad associated with this wine for you to jot your experiences with the first and subsequent samples as you proceed through the case. Useful graphs are a strong point of WineBase; you can also view aging curves, vintage reports, by field, and a cumulative view (extracted at left) that provides a bird’s eye view. The only downside to this report is that it might reveal to you where you need to fill in to keep the supply and demand even. There’s also a timeline of all vintages, and good table views of your cellar, for example, Variety vs. BestAt vs. Bottles, again to help you balance your cellar, based on your preferences and consumption. This might help you decide whether to trade a case of a particular vintage with a friend.

There’s far too much to WineBase to show you in this limited space. Bonuses include the Gold Book, an extensive reference on wines of Australia and New Zealand -- why? The author hails from Australia, and whether he knows it or not, he has boosted his own economy, since the inclusion of this data has since sent me to that section of my favorite wine store. Another reference has hundreds of wineries from all over the world, including one of my favorites in New York State(shown), run by the delightfully eccentric Walter S. ||||||||||||||| (he can’t use his family name because the conglomerate that bought and sanctimoniously sweetened the Taylor winery defeated him in court -- but you gotta love his wine and beautiful vineyards overlooking Lake Keuka). There are also reference maps with hypertext jumps to winery information, though you’ll have to be traveling in Australia or New Zealand with your laptop to make practical use of them.

To cap it off, this database has a great search and sort screen that can undoubtedly find any combination of characteristics you might want to find or see. To give yourself a good start, a sample cellar is provided to help you learn the operation of the program. The colorful buttonbar across the top makes accessing all the great features simple and quick.

To repeat myself -- if you have a wine cellar, you need WineBase. It’s a pleasure to find such a well thought-out program. Now, if I only had a cellar to catalog. Hmmm. Send your donations to . . .

PagePlus 3.0
SERIF PAGEPLUS PUBLISHING SUITE

a review by Bob Gollihur

RE: Computers — I can’t know everything, but I want to be able to do everything. This I have come to realize. I don’t know whether the realization of those limitations comes with the wisdom, experience, or mental infirmities of age. One thing I do know, is that software has become so fully featured that a generalist like myself cannot possibly know all its ins and outs. All I want to do is be productive, now, not spend time learning the intricacies of a program.

Serif is my hero. They have turned me into a relatively competent desktop publisher, with little pain and strain on the brain, with Page Plus. My friends oooh and aaaah over my output, at least in my proud and smiling presence. No, I’m not putting out anything overly complicated in my view, but I will brag that some of the results have been impressive.

It is my general policy not to rave (unless I am simultaneously ranting) about a program, but it will be difficult not to sing the praises of PagePlus. It will also be difficult to do much more than just give you a sketch of all that is made available to you on this CD ROM bargain in this limited space.

The primary program itself is pretty easy to use. It doesn’t come with ‘wizards,’ but instead with over 100 templates to help you along, which I find just as helpful and personally less patronizing. They are cataloged by categories, and come with hints to get the most of the format. You can create your own and include hints as reminders. Frankly, it’s pretty easy to start with just a blank page, too.

Serif has provided a superior help file, well organized and with good explanations. Counter to the trend of less paper and more on-line documentation, you also get a pile of friendly manuals — eight, to be precise. A general Getting Started manual greets and familiarizes the user with the product and its functionality. It is backed up by the Owner’s Handbook, with more depth and detail. The nice thing about these manuals is that they are written for a real person, not talking down to you, but neither assuming you already know what CMYK and separations are. Throughout each of the manuals for all associated applications included with the Publishing Suite, a friendly and educational approach is taken, to help you understand not just the how, but the why. Even the ArtPack manual comes complete with good, practical advice for layout and content for the novice. There’s also the necessary in-depth information for when you need it in the TypePlus, PhotoPlus, DrawPlus, and TablePlus manuals.

Toolboxes are key to the convenient use of PagePlus. You’ll see the primary one in the illustration above, and it provides quick access to all the major elements of PagePlus. The extended tools bring access to the provided Arts and Borders artwork library, OLE connections, to TypePlus, PhotoPlus, DrawPlus, and TablePlus, about which I’ll tell you very soon. Other tools allow rotation of graphics and text, the frame tool, boxes and lines, and more. Additional toolboxes appear when you access other functions, such as for changing font characteristics.

TypePlus 3.0 pops up with your text, for easier editing, when you double-click on a section. This is a wonderful addition to PagePlus, and thankfully includes a spellchecker and a multilingual thesaurus. Styles are handy, too, an addition to version 3.0; essentially TypePlus is a built-in word processor that makes entering and formatting text a pleasure, with cutting and pasting, etc.

Admittedly, TablePlus 2.0 has not been a module that I’ve spent much time with, but I’m impressed with what I’ve tried and seen. In addition to some predesigned formats (shown), the main screen is divided into an input section and a large group of formatting tools. Again, both Help and the manual come through with clear explanations for use. Drag and drop adds to the ease of design and modification.

PhotoPlus 1.0 is no competitor for the big boys, but should be more than adequate to handle most your needs. As with most of the graphics-oriented functions that PagePlus and its ancillary programs, it handles most any graphic format around, including Corel Draw CDR, JPEG, and PhotoCD files. The theme of the work area adjacent to the toolkit is carried forth in this example, too.

Finally, DrawPlus 1.0, a vector-based drawing program, has its share of bells and whistles, and can be operated as a standalone application or an OLE client like the other modules. Again, the manual treats you with respect, explaining the use of each tool and offering a tutorial lesson to demonstrate their use.

I’ve got to ‘fess up, though. I’ve only looked through the manuals in order to write this review. Until then I hadn’t cracked one. That says something, perhaps about me, but perhaps more about PagePlus. For the most part, you can just jump in and make it work, provided you have some familiarity with the way Windows and some other applications work. However, I can assure you that I will be spending some more time hitting the books to enhance my familiarity with the program and as well as to gain general DTP knowledge. The program also has optional tips that pop up when you first start the program. You can shut them off, and even if you want to kill the cute ones, I suggest you leave the others on. I’ve picked up some very useful hints.

Serif also provides over 250 fonts on the CD ROM, and includes 1100 pieces of clipart for backgrounds, frames, and insertion into publications. Two booklets not only show illustrations, but display examples of combined uses of some of the clipart and explains things, like the difference between vector and bitmap images.

Version 3.0 is the maturation of PagePlus. I have used Version 2.0 for projects the last couple years and it served my needs well. This latest version adds high end support as well as making general use easier and more productive. Left and right master pages, automatic page numbering, and a common pasteboard are now supported, a boon to those creating large documents. Serif has amazingly made a high end desktop publishing program accessible. You can start small and grow into this system.

Personally, I am really enjoying some of the improvements in general use, including enhanced text wrapping facilities that are not only easier to use but now allow wrapping text within irregular shapes. The PagePlus Assistants that pop up out of the woodwork with suggestions have been helpful to this ‘manual-impaired’ user, too.

If your publications require color separations, you will be delighted with Page Plus. If you’ve seen ads for the product, you’ll note that they brag that the artwork was created using PagePlus. It’s no exaggeration — the product boasts a strong feature set to support the creation and output of color separations.

The only real competitor in the price range of this program is Microsoft Publisher, a very competent and also easy to use product. No direct comparisons here, just opinion: I’ve tried them both and found PagePlus easier to jump in to, more capable, and more of a pleasure to use. I imagine some scoffing out there in the audience, but those considering PageMaker should give this product a try first.

This much power and product for such low pricing is quite amazing. Give it a try. I doubt you will let it out of your sight once you have experienced the power and pleasure of creating attractive and useful materials. If you have occasional or steady, low end or complex requirements, PagePlus 3.0 has both the simplicity of use and depth of features to handle most anything.

A variety of offers are available, the latest of which is a “MonsterCD” with sampler versions of PagePlus and DrawPlus, along with fonts and clipart for just $6.95. This could certainly give you an inexpensive taste, not to mention bargain additions to your clipart and font collections. The following is pricing for each product as we went to press. Serif, which sells direct, has had various special offers over the last few months which may recur. The PagePlus Publishing Suite on CD ROM was tested for this review.

trueSpace
CALIGARI’S TRUESPACE

a review by Steven Jay Cohen

Ladiiie-e-e-s and gentlemen - graphical environment lovers of all ages - gather ‘round! I have very exciting news! Calagari’s trueSpace for Windows is going to knock your socks off! If you work or play with manipulative 3D aspects of virtual reality in the Windows environment, then this is software you definitely want to own.

Three dimensional modeling by computer has inherent difficulties. Accomplishing a polished product is a daunting task, even for the professional. The very nature of the medium separates the object of creation from the creator by many layers. If you were modeling in clay, you would actually have your hands on the object - receiving immediate, real-time feedback as you manipulate and mold the clay. In virtual space, of course, this is not possible. Here, object manipulation is classically performed on mathematically generated wireframe representations, achieved by mouse movements, typing, and frequent sidetrips to special editors that focus on a particular aspect of the creative process.

Sounds a bit clunky, doesn’t it? It is! Furthermore, it is incredibly time-consuming. Enter trueSpace! In this environment, you work directly with objects in a virtual three-dimensional space which closely corresponds to the physical world. Instead of becoming a featureless bounding box during transformations, objects remain as full wireframes that bend and move as you direct. The editing, or molding process takes place before your eyes - not invisibly in a “black box.”

The interface gives you a full-screen window into this virtual space, giving you real-time feedback as you manipulate the objects. It actually manages to impart the feeling that you are working in three dimensions. Your initial view into this space is such that you are seeing the flat working plane, or grid, from a perspective vantage point. This perspective greatly heightens the feeling of depth. The grid, which does not render, serves as the central reference. All new objects are created either lying flat or sitting on the grid.

trueSpace interface

trueSpace’s toolbar runs horizontally at the bottom of its window. The tools, represented by icons, are grouped by function: Edit; Libraries; Object Navigation; Model; Render; Animation; and Window. All are selectable by mouse, and many of these tools have variants, or modifications which allow the user more specific application of a given tool’s function. The variants are made available in a popup iconic menu which cascades upward from a tool’s button when clicked upon. To select a variant, one merely clicks and holds down the mouse button, drags the cursor up to the desired feature, and releases the mouse button. You are informed of the presence of a popup menu by a green indicator in the upper left corner of a tool button.

Many tools have Control Panels that automatically open when the tool is selected, and for further control, Property Panels that open when the tool is selected with the right mouse button. Numeric entry panels, nested within some of the control panels, pop up with a right mouse button click on the control. The presence of a property panel is indicated on the tool button by a red indicator in the upper right hand corner.

One of the biggest factors in flattening the learning curve is the manner in which objects and view are manipulated with mouse movements. Hand motions are so similar to what you would use in reality that there is almost no learning involved - you already know how it works! The control pictured here represents a core conceptual construct of trueSpace. It is associated with all navigational tools including the Object Navigation and Window (view) tools, governing object and view manipulations in the three working coordinate systems: world, object, and screen. You will also find this control associated with point and lattice deformation operations - basically any operation that involves movement of any sort. One would be well advised at the outset to spend enough time with this construct to feel comfortable with it. Once mastered (and this can be accomplished in about an hour or so of practice), navigation through truSpace is very easy and natural-feeling.

Each of the x, y, and z buttons may be depressed, or “pushed” individually with a left mouse button click. The button or combination of buttons depressed dictates the movement elicited by mouse movement. Different motions result depending upon which mouse button is being held down during the movement, and whether object or view centered.

trueSpace functions are divided into seven logical groups. In most cases, the tool names seem almost to need no description. That’s part of the beauty of this application. It is really that straightforward! Here is a brief look at all of them:

Object Navigation Group

Object Navigation Group

This tool group is for the movement, rotation and scaling of whole objects, hierarchical sub-objects, and UV mapping space (which will be discussed shortly). In addition to performing as the main vehicle of selection, the Object Tool also serves as an exit from other editing modes in a fashion exactly like the selection tools in most graphics and drawing programs. Right-clicking on this tool when it is active will open the Object Info Panel for the selected object. It displays Location, Rotation, and Scale information, and if left open, dynamically changes to reflect all object manipulations.

This interface provides the means for precision work in trueSpace. It is quite an ingenious adjunct to mouse manipulations. Altering the numbers in this panel results in an immediate appropriate change in the object. Thus scaling and orientation, location, etc. can be stipulated with exactitude.

The Object Move, Rotate, and Scale Tools all have the above-discussed x, y, z control associated with them. This important core group of tools has analogous counterparts throughout the application, especially in the Modeling Group.

The Hierarchy Tool is used to move through the constructed layers of a compound object in order to focus on a specific part. trueSpace uses its Glue Tool to construct such objects. This tool is found in the Editing tool group.

Editing Tool Group

This group consists of four toolbuttons. Along with the expected Undo/ Redo, Copy, and Erase functions, you will find the Glue Tool. The implementation of this tool is simply brilliant. It has three variants: Glue as Sibling; Glue as Child; and Unglue. Judicious use of these Glue types, among other things, makes animation much easier. Glue as Sibling is used to group different objects on the same “level” so that they can be manipulated as a single unit or separately. Glue as Child is used to create a hierarchical object that can be manipulated as a unit while still allowing its parts to move independently. One example of such a case would be the bicycle tire which, though rotating independently, moves forward with the bicycle as part of the entire unit.

Utility Group

Grid Snap Control is the first of the tools in this group. The others are: Axes - used to display and manipulate object axes; Normalize - used to return an object to its original state, including variants to normalize Location, Rotation, and Scale; and Extended Utilities - used to subdivide objects, reverse objects, create hierarchies from imported objects, and divide polygons into triangles.

Model Group

The tools in this group are for polygon creation; adding built-in geometric primitives; text object creation; point editing; extrusion and lathing; and free-form deformation. The ease of object creation and manipulation in trueSpace truly belies the underlying mathematical constructs and virtual years of man-hours of programming within its functional infrastructure. These are some of the most powerful modeling tools ever created.

 Polygon Tool - used to create two-dimensional, multi-sided Freehand and Regular straight-edged polygons. These are always created parallel to the ground plane.

 Spline Polygon Tool - creates flat Freehand polygons with curved edges.

 Text Tool - creates vertical and horizontal 2D text in any size, using any True Type font installed on the system. Text is easily transformed to 3D with the Sweep Tool.

 Primitives Tool - inserts any of six built-in 3D shapes into the workspace. Shapes include cylinder; cube; cone; truncated cone; sphere; and torus. This tool can also be considered part of the Libraries tool group.

 Sweep Tool - actually contains 5 versatile functions for extruding and lathing faces:

 Sweep - extrudes 2D and 3D shapes.

 Tip - sweeps polygons to a point.

 Lathe - sweeps along a modifiable circular path.

 Macro - remembers a set of sweeps and applies it to other polygons.

 Bevel - automatically bevels polygons - great for text.

 Point Edit Tool - permits the selection and manipulation of individual points, groups of points, individual edges, groups of edges, individual faces and groups of faces.

 Deform Tool - accomplishes free-form reshaping of an object by manipulation of points within a 3D lattice. Choosing an object with this tool instantly creates or makes visible its deformation lattice. This appears as a sort of sectionally divided wireframe box around the object. It may easily be further sub-divided to allow highly detailed work. It is important to note that the presence of an object’s lattice does not block the user’s view of the object. Instead, it is integrated with the object, providing maximal visual feedback during manipulations.

Libraries Group

Material Library

trueSpace contains three libraries: the Material Library; the Path Library; and the above-mentioned Primitives Panel. The Material Library stores surface attributes and textures, rendering their graphic representations onto Sample Spheres as illustrated above. When a Paint Tool (discussed below) is selected, all Materials panels -- Sample Sphere, Color, Attributes, and Shader Attributes -- open automatically. Six varied libraries are included in the package. The Path Library stores spline paths and shapes created with the Spline Polygon tool, Macro/Sweep tool, and animation paths.

Render Group

The rendering of an object is the “ultimate reward” for the time and energy spent in its creation. This group of tools is responsible for the creation, mapping, and application of Materials to objects. Also included here are the tools which control lighting and add cameras to the workspace. Let’s face it -- no matter how sophisticated the underlying structure, first impressions carry an inordinate degree of importance. Appearance can make or break a piece. These are the trueSpace tools that create the “wrapping”:

 The Paint Tool - consists of four variants. The Paint Face Tool, as its name suggests, interactively renders an object face-by-face. Paint Object renders the entire object at once. The Repaint Tool works like Paint Face, except that one click converts all object polygons (faces) of the Material being clicked on to the new Material - not just the one face. The Inspect Tool works like the eyedropper tool found in drawing programs. Clicking on a rendered face with this tool places its Material attributes in the property panels so it can in turn be applied to other portions of the surface with the other Paint tools.

 UV Projection Tool - used when applying a texture image to the surface of an object. “The term UV space comes from a mathematical way of describing any point on an object’s surface with the parameters U (horizontal distance around the object from a given point) and V (vertical distance around an object from a given point.)” This tool is used to apply Planar (the default), Cylindrical, or Spherical texture map projection through an object. The texture image appears wherever the object’s surface intersects with part of the image.

 Material Rectangle Tool - permits the user to define a specifically sized rectangular area of an object’s surface to be focused upon, or rendered. Once defined, the specified area can be placed as desired, much as a focused spotlight can be projected and freely moved over an object’s surface.

 Light/Camera Tool - One of the most thoughtful features of trueSpace is the automatically applied lighting of an object. If no lights are added to a scene, an automatic scheme of non-controllable infinite light sources is applied when rendering. This, of course, is the tool with which Infinite, Local, and Spotlight lighting may be added and precisely defined. Here too, multiple cameras can be added and any window can be set to show what any camera “sees.” trueSpace is replete with available choices for rendering a scene - everything from a “quick render” to precision ray-tracing.

Animation Group

Creating animation sequences is incredibly easy with trueSpace. In this group you will find the Animation Tool; Path Tool; Constraints; and Project Tool. Key Frame motion generation is only one of the provided shortcuts in this powerful environment. Because trueSpace allows an unlimited number of cameras in the workspace, many different versions of the same scene can easily be generated. Animation path points are easily set by clicking, permitting the user to set any desired number of frames to be generated between neighboring points. Its interactive Time Editor operates by easy “click and drag”, and the Constraints tools provide the means for aiming and pointing objects in the right directions. Deformation lattice elements can be key frame animated in exactly the same manner as objects, making possible some fascinating visual prospects.

Window Group

This group contains the standard View Navigation and Render tools found on all windows. There are also special tools for adding windows, controlling panels and changing program settings. From here your view of the entire workspace is manipulated. Provided features include Zoom and instant changes in view perspective. There is also a toolbutton in this group to immediately close all open panels to “unclutter” the workspace.

Conclusions:

The breadth and depth of this feature-rich application makes it impossible to impart more than a broad overview in a venue such as this. I must underline several points. Our magazine’s 16-color limitation restricts our graphics somewhat. Be sure to check out the upcoming reproduction of this issue at our World Wide Web site. (http://www.cris.com/WOL) We will be including some 256-color shots that were not practical for this format. It will give you a better feel for the interface and the product.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work briefly with a late stage beta of the soon-to-be-released v2.0 of trueSpace. What a treat! It actually raises its level of functionality in quite a palpable fashion. It heightens the reality of the process with real-time solid rendering, and features 3D Boolean operations that permit the real-time fusing and/or subtraction of three dimensional solids. New tools in this version include a Motion Blur Tool which mimics human perception of an object or a scene in motion, and a new toolbutton which ties in support for Photoshop Gallery effects.

trueSpace is absolutely exhilarating to work with. It truly exemplifies the potential of the Windows graphical environment, and elicits the feeling that, “this is what Windows was built for!” It has the most usable interface of any application I have ever worked with for three dimensional modeling, rendering and animation. The consistency of design principles employed throughout this application result in an interface that practically anyone can learn in an amazingly short time. Its methods are so natural-feeling, so intuitive, that they set a new standard by which all others will be measured.

 COLORADO TAPE BACKUP

a review by Ed Hoffman

Shortly after installing two new large hard drives, as I executed my first backup I was reminded of the vastness of these drives. Not only could I no longer fit my backup on two tapes, but since I was also backing up a second machine across a network, I would now need seven 250 Mb tapes to do the complete job. This wasn’t really a big deal since I have more than enough tapes, but I did realize that a larger tape backup system would be nice to have. So, I added this new tape drive to my computer products wish list. Soon thereafter, I was browsing a computer magazine and there it was: the 700 Mb Colorado Tape Drive. Having long been a fan of Colorado Tape Drives, you might suspect it didn’t take me too long to make my decision.

When the drive arrived, I quickly removed my old 250 Mb unit and began to install the new drive. I noticed that the card edge connector on my old drive was now a pin type connector on the new drive. This wouldn’t have been too much of a problem if I were installing the drive internally, since the cable furnished with the drive matched the pin connector. But, as fate would have it, I was installing the unit in my external case and the connector there was for the card edge connector. A quick call to the Technical Support department verified my dilemma. However, all wasn’t lost, the technician offered to send me an adapter to allow my old external case to be used with the new connector. (These connector adapters are also available in many computer stores). So, two days later the adapter arrived and within 15 minutes the new 700 Mb drive was up and running.

After telling this story to a friend I was aghast when he exclaimed that he had no need for a tape backup. In fact he scolded me for having wasted my money buying another computer gadget for my system. As he told me, “I keep copies of my work files, after all I still have the installation disks for all my software.” I’m not sure, but I think the computer hobgoblins overheard his blasphemous remarks. Three days later he called to ask where he could get a Colorado 700 Mb Tape Drive for his system. It seems his old hard drive had given up and died, taking with it all his programs, data, and files. After replacing the hard drive he began re-installing all his programs. That was when he realized that all his program customizations, templates, and macros had also died. That was about a month ago and at last count he told me he has reconstructed about 25% of his system to the way it was before the crash. Not being one to say I told you so, I never brought up the fact that he too had bought a computer gadget. But he did volunteer the fact that since getting the new Colorado 700 Mb Tape Drive, that he has had a religious conversion and he now backs up his system weekly and his work files daily.

As my friend had the misfortune to learn, system back ups should be a primary concern to anyone who uses a computer. Paranoia is a mind set most people quickly acquire when working with computers. Although you may learn to live with this abnormal condition, very few experienced computer users ever really trust their electronic beast.  In fact, as I was once told early on in my computer life, the three key words to remember when working with any computer are: BACKUP, BACKUP, and BACKUP. Though I’m not quite as paranoid as many people I know, I do keep multiple copies of my complete backups and I do perform a backup of modified files each day. If you’ve ever seen the dreaded message: “Not ready reading drive C, Abort, Retry, Fail” or something similar, you instantly know why I keep all these backups.

Now, you could make your backups on floppy disks, but if you have a hard drive with more than 40 Mb capacity, this could take a while. In fact, I keep two sets of my work file backups on floppies: one set on 5.25 inch disks and one on 3.50 inch disks. I only update these weekly.  My main backups are on tape. I keep two complete backups on tape and a series of daily backup tapes. This process allows me to keep everything current and should everything go belly up, the most I’ve lost is one day’s work. You may not be as paranoid as I am but you should still keep a fresh copy of everything on your system. The easiest way to do this is with a tape backup system.  For my money, the best tape backup system on the market today is the family of drives from Colorado Memory Systems and the new 700 Mb Colorado Tape Drive is a worthy successor to my older 250 Mb tape drive.

This system is both affordable and reliable. The drive can easily be setup to meet your mounting requirements. Should you want to setup the drive internally, the unit slides right into one of your floppy drive bays. You may connect the drive to your floppy controller or connect it to your system with one of the several cards available for the drive. An external version of this tape drive is also available if you don’t have an empty drive bay. The tape drive comes with a copy of the Colorado Memory System’s DOS software (version 4.07) and the Colorado Backup for Windows (version 2.50) program. Either program is more than adequate and will perform all your tape backups admirably. I personally use both. I use the Windows version for my daily backups and the DOS version for the complete system backups. I might advise you to always keep a copy of the DOS tape software handy, right beside your DOS System Disk, just in case of an emergency. Should your system crash, you may not be able to get into Windows to access your Windows Backup software, so having a copy of the DOS version handy will allow you to install the tape software and restore your system from the backup tapes. Both versions of the software produce the same files on the tapes and either can read the tapes prepared by the other.

This newest version of the Colorado Backup for Windows program is a worthy addition to the CMS line of tape products. This program not only makes backups easy, but FAST as well.  The program makes extensive use of drag-and-drop. In fact, all commands for the program are started by dragging and dropping the various elements. The program consists of a main window which contains a series of smaller windows. The window on the left shows all your hard drives, the center window shows the tape directory, and the window to the right is the Tape Library. A One Step command window also appears to perform many of the routine tasks.

To use the program simply drag and drop the icons. For example, to format a tape, simply drag the tape icon to the One Step window and drop it in the Format box. Likewise to erase a tape, drag the tape icon to the Erase box and drop it. Each of the other functions listed in the One Step box are performed the same way. To make a tape backup, click on the hard drive icon and drag it over to the tape icon and drop it. The program then displays a window for you to set your backup parameters and to name the backup volume. Once this is complete, the program automatically performs the backup. Restoring files from the tape to the hard drive is just the reverse. That is, first click on the tape volume icon and drag it to the specific hard drive icon and then drop it. You are then presented with a window listing the restore options. If you wish to restore selected files a directory of the volume appears to select the specific file to restore. The library window shows the complete content of any tape volume.

The 700 Mb Colorado Tape Drive unit also arrived with a backup tape. This drive uses the newer QIC-3010-MC tapes. These 400 foot tapes are also available from Colorado Memory Systems. While even this hardware/software combination will not make performing backups fun, it will make your backup operations go much faster and will greatly simplify the way you do them.

Home Repairs
 HOME SURVIVAL TOOLKIT: HOME REPAIRS

a review by David Morgan

It isn’t necessary to have a CD-ROM player in order to experience the benefits of multi-media. For those of us who don’t have CD-ROM players, there is software available that is both educational and entertaining. This software, loaded from floppy disks, incorporates graphics, sound and video. A good example of this “floppy-loaded” multi-media software is a fine series called “Books That Work.”

One of the “Books That Work” is the Home Survival Toolkit: Home Repairs is and comes to us from Sunset books. You may recognize the name Sunset from the “how to” books on the shelves of your local hardware store. This is not just a “how-to” program for do-it-yourselfers. It contains a wealth of practical information on a wide variety of topics and would be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about how things work around the home. And when things don’t work, Home Repairs shows you how to fix them. For example, it shows you how to fix electrical and plumbing problems, how to find proper tools and materials, how to remove stains from a variety of objects, and how to prevent common emergencies.

Home Repairs functions like a Windows helpfile, a format that lends itself well to educational and entertainment-oriented programs. The WinOnLine Review is a prime example of this. Hypertext links tie together all related topics and information. The search capabilities within this program are impressive and should be the standard for all Windows helpfiles. Full text searching is available using Boolean logic!

The program is organized into three main areas. There are twelve Chapters, four Survival Guides, and three Estimators.

CHAPTERS	SURVIVAL GUIDES
Emergencies	Toll-Free Numbers
Tools	Stain Removal
Plumbing	Paints
Electrical	Adhesives
Heating and Cooling
Floors and Walls
Windows and Doors	ESTIMATORS
Painting
Outdoors	Paint Estimator
Roofs and Basements	Attic Venting Estimator
Rental Tools	Concrete Estimator
Working with a Pro

Each Chapter is further divided into related topics. Let’s take a look at one of the Chapters: Chapter One -- Emergencies.

Emergencies:
Gas Leaks	Burst Pipes
Responding to a Fire	Frozen Pipes
Electrical Emergencies	Leaking Roofs
Shutting Off the Water Supply

We will look at the topic entitled, “Gas Leaks.” Selecting this topic brings up the screen shown below.

From this screen, you can access Related Topics and Tools. Selecting the Related Topics reveals the selection, “Finding a Gas Leak,” and after selecting this related topic, another screen is displayed. The animation sequence that appears shows a water bottle containing soapy water being sprayed on a gas line. The soapy water will bubble at the point where gas is leaking. All of this is shown in the video clip which lasts about 15 seconds. Of course, this speed will vary depending on the power of your system. Most Chapters function and are navigated in a similar fashion.

Home Repairs is also furnished with three Estimators: the Paint Estimator, the Concrete Estimator and the Attic Ventilation Estimator. The Paint Estimator works like this. First you will to measure the room being painted. Next, you simply enter into the Estimator the measurements. It then displays the number of gallons of paint needed to paint the room.

The Survival Guides section provides a terrific reference for information on paints, adhesives, stain removal and toll free numbers for many companies and agencies associated with home care and construction.

The Stain Removal section shows you how to eliminate stains from a variety of surfaces. First, you select the material that is stained. Next, the type of stain is selected which causes a window to pop up showing instructions for removing the stain.

Home Repairs loads from four floppy disks and takes up about 10 Mb of hard disk space. Half of this space is used up by video files. The rest is used by graphics, sounds and program files. This is a valuable resource not just for people who like to do things themselves, but also for those who want to know how things work. I can’t wait to try some of the techniques demonstrated in this program.

There is also a new CD-ROM version available entitled, “Home Repair Encyclopedia.” This new version functions similarly to the floppy-loaded version, but contains information on many more topics. The price is the same as the floppy version.

 CROSSWORD & WORDSEARCH CONSTRUCTION KITS

a review by Phyllis Phlegar

Have you ever heard someone say “I like to dance, but I don’t like to watch it” or “I don’t like to watch baseball, I’d much rather play it”? I don’t like to do word puzzles or crosswords but I have discovered that I do like to build them. Luckily, many people do like to do word puzzles and crosswords, and these brain teasers surely must be good for fine-tuning young minds and keeping the aging ones lubricated.

As soon as I saw Insight Software Solutions’ Crossword Construction Kit and Word Search Construction Kit, I thought of my cousin, Joan. She owns, writes and produces a current events newspaper for Sunday school kids. What could be more fun for her young readers than to work a puzzle ... a puzzle that would would, in effect, trick them into learning something important.

Because of the ease and flexibility of these puzzle programs, they aren’t just for use in newsletters, but in literally any educational, commercial, or fun venues. We’ve all gone to Chinese restaurants and figured out if we were a “boar” or a “dragon,” etc ... imagine custom made crossword or word search puzzles for monthly dinner get-togethers, roasts or birthday parties? One well-known WOL staff writer recently celebrated a birthday, and I can imagine the resulting puzzle placemat.

 Actually, making customized puzzles is a bit addicting. After reading last month’s WOLR, I couldn’t resist putting together a crossword. This puzzle's inspiration came from WOLR #95:

	ACROSS 2. Bloody screen saver that Wolly reviewed 3. WOL Editor 5. Name of the ‘uninstall’ program that works for Ed Hoffman 7. Ed Rasimus’ buddy Joe’s last name 8. Technical Editor DOWN 1. WOL Publisher 2. Home State on US Mail Address 4. What the “Lizard” tech support person is flipping 6. Senior Staff Writer

Since both the crossword and the word search puzzle creation format is essentially the same, I’ll only go through the steps for the Crossword Construction Kit; they are both so charmingly easy to use that the minor differences won’t slow you down. There are no manuals provided, but the help file contained with the programs is probably all you’ll need. You’ll also need to run the programs under Microsoft Windows and version 3.1 or greater, and a VGA monitor is required.

The opening screen allows you to check out the demo puzzles supplied with the game, and then, create your own new puzzle. You can also modify, delete, view or print existing puzzles ... blank or completed.

The puzzle creation screen allows you to name your puzzle and pick the size and shape of the puzzle’s layout. You can choose from over 25 puzzle layouts or create new ones. At the bottom, type in puzzle and clue, click on “ADD” and it is on the list to eventually become part of the puzzle. After adding all the words and clues, click “Create Puzzle.” This is the most fun, seeing all the words meshed together. Sometimes the size or shape chosen isn’t large enough or long enough to include all your words, and if this happens, the program will tell you what was left out. You then have the option of choosing another layout that may be able to handle all the clues and words you’ve entered. Words and clues can also be imported from a text file.

The PRINT options allow you to print  the unfinished or finished puzzle with a grey or black background. You can also choose upper or lower case letters for the puzzle, select fonts and send the puzzle and words to an ASCII file. Before printing, you can view the completed puzzle. If you don’t like it, you can add, delete and or change the puzzle’s size and shape.

There are a number of word search and crossword puzzle programs on the shareware market. Both of these programs are far above the average in ease of use, deliver professional results, and are inexpensive to purchase.

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!
