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.

comments from Frank Mahaney

By the time you read this, much of the circus atmosphere will have begun to die down. If you’d had told me ten years ago that a computer operating system would be introduced by a Rolling Stones song, I wouldn’t have just laughed at you, I’d have rung up the local mental hospital. Yet, here it is.

Millions of motivated consumers will have rushed to get on the hype bandwagon. Bill Gates and Company did a great job of creating the need, aided by we computer dweebs that are always lusting after the latest, and hopefully, greatest. It will be interesting to watch the chips fall over the next few months. I wonder when it will finally dawn on some media hyper that there are bugs in Windows 95, who will blow the trumpet loud and hard á la Intel’s Pentium PR disaster? What about the sudden realization for the requirements of heavier hardware and new, 32-bit software? It will be an interesting, but predictable, aftermath.

Now that the circus parade has passed, it will be time for the consultants and MIS folks to clean up, not unlike the guys following the elephants with large brooms. And Windows 95 is a very large elephant.

Windows 95 Software & Shareware

As a participant in the Windows 95 parade, WOLR will continue to increase its coverage of new releases as they become available. Shareware authors are encouraged to upload their 32-bit applications to Windows OnLine™ in order to receive coverage. Please resist the temptation of proclaiming your 16-bit application “Windows 95 compatible” in order to take advantage of the rush to true 32-bit applications. Wolly will undoubtedly otherwise unmask and embarrass you. For details and good advice to follow, click here.

Bye & Best Wishes!

Staff Writer David Morgan has had to leave us in order to handle the pressures of his new job. We thank David for his fine contributions in the past and hope that he will continue to visit and update us on his fun in his new position with Mindscape. Maybe we’ll even squeeze another article or two out of him. Thanks, and good luck, David!

At the same time, Welcome!

I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome a new Staff Writer, Ted Tatman. He’s no stranger, having contributed freelance pieces in the past, usually sound-oriented. Glad you’re aboard, Ted, and not a moment too soon.

We’re always looking for new freelance and staff writers. Click here for some additional information.

Notice that we have begun to place a couple of comment lines at the close of each article. We hope you enjoy and are entertained as you learn a little more about our staff.

CACHE LA BYTE COMMENTARY

from Thom Foulks

The Book’s Out, But I’m Waiting For The Movie

When I was sitting behind Bobbie Ann Mason in high school, I hated books. Still do.

Not that’s there anything hateful about books, when they present information that is not available in some other form. But it’s a lot more fun to watch “Rigoletto” or “Hamlet” then to read their texts, any “Dirty Harry” movie in book form would not make my day, and Tom Clancy could not have found Red October without Sean Connery.

So, I’ve never been able to understand the motivation of software producers who feel they are answering computer users’ expectation of support by providing massive bound volumes of printed words. (I almost said ‘prose’ but it’s a rare documentation package that could qualify for such a generic descriptive term. Alas, most of them are simply words, strung together in organized fashion. Sometimes “organized” is also a misnomer.)

Don’t get me wrong -- I LIKE to read, and I am a fast reader. But not when my reading has to start in the index to find Topic A, referenced in Chapters 3,7 and 12, which are cross-referenced to Paragraphs 147b, 42c, 129m, Diagram 12e, and...well, you get my point.

What brings on this high point of aggravation is my purchase, yesterday, of Procomm Plus for Windows. Nay, nay, friend, I’m not picking on DataStorm: I knew Tom and Bruce before they escaped from California to home-safe Missouri. But their product, which once could be easily downloaded from any BBS (with documentation files), has now become a five-pound box that Dirty Harry could use as a weapon. I need to explain that this was only the straw (big straw) that broke the camel’s back -- the bound-book documentation that comes from dozens of other developers is equally overpowering. And wasteful...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Software producers universally claim that users don’t read the documentation. They’re right. And here’s why.

Let’s consider the physical situation: Here I am at the keyboard, wanting to learn how to do such-and-such. I look it up in the book, find the topic, lay the book beside the keyboard, use my Scotch tape carrier as a paperweight to hold the book open, shift my hands back to the keyboard to type in the appropriate commands, look back at the book, take my hands off the keyboard to re-adjust the book so I can read it, put my hands back on the keyboard and look back at the screen to see where I’m at, then look back at the book -- and the binding pressure of the book has slipped the page I need to see from beneath the heavy Scotch tape holder.

I grab the book, and quite forcibly try to split the binding-back. No luck. OK, I’ll try again. By now, however, I’ve forgotten the page number, so I am back to the index. Using a large Boston Steel spring clip, I get the book open and beside the keyboard. Again, following the book, I have to look back to the keyboard to hit a particular sequence of Alt-F2-Shift, and my screen shows me I’m on the right track. So, I go back to the book for the next instruction.

At this point, my screen saver kicks in (hey, I’ve been at this for 20 minutes) and I casually key the spacebar to return my work screen. The software beeps, I get an error message “unknown command,” the menu from which I was working disappears, and I am back where to I started.

I throw the book up against the wall, resist the temptation to call Tech Support while I am angry, and walk out to the hallway for a cooling-off period. That’s Problem #1.

But there’s an even-worse problem with far too many documentation tomes. They simply are not written from a “how-do-I-do..?” user viewpoint. I’ve pored through hundreds of books (I’ve been reviewing software a LONG time) that told you what a given command would do; meaning you had to look through all the command possibilities to find one that accomplished what you wanted to do.

Problem #3 with such books is the simple problem of their storage. Any power user knows that the shelves to support the books needed for reference must be large, placed near your computer, and require frequent dusting. (I’m not a typical user, yes; as a reviewer -- and you’d not believe the number of shelves and walls, I have dedicated to software storage. So I’ll not try to amaze you.)

This simply should not be, not today. In the DOS years, there was justification for pure printed documentation, and some developers coped with it nicely. As example, the large loose-leaf manual with WordPerfect 5.1 (despite its obtuse interior organization) was superb as an example of how documentation must be presented to the user in usable fashion. Costly to the developer, yes, I’m sure -- but I spent many a short help session with that notebook lying placidly beside my keyboard; no need for paperweights or Boston Clips to hold it open.

In the Windows world, however, a bound-cover book for documentation is simply asinine. Any developer, using the same kinds of tools that Editor Bob Gollihur uses to produce WOLR, can produce a context-sensitive, well-illustrated, on-screen help file. In fact, as the early Windows 95 users know, a Win95 help file can actually “look back” at operating software and trigger a particular command to accomplish what you were trying to do, from a mouseclick inside the help file!

Yes, this can create HLP files of humongous sizes. But the convenience simply outweighs such storage considerations; and, when you’re really up-to-speed on whatever product it is, you can back up the help file to floppy from your hard drive, and not worry about the dust it would be accumulating on a shelf as a book.

Next time you make a software purchase, consider the heft of the package with the knowledge that a 3.5” floppy disk weighs less than a first-class letter...although the floppy disks in the package constitute the actual functionality of what you’re buying. Then ask yourself, are you buying software? Or dead trees?

LETTERS

100 issues! Congratulations! I’ve read more than half of them, and I keep coming back.

Frank and friends - your ezines are my favorite reading, an irresistible potpourri of erudition and entertainment.

Before you opened your WWW page I had to wait for them on my local BBS, where they arrived a few months after you wrote them. Now I get each issue hot off the press, devour it greedily, and return to marking off the days on the calendar until the next one.

You have guided me to treasures I would otherwise not have found, and I have happily sent off the appropriate trinkets to the authors. (I’m reminded of Wol alerting me to the despair of one shareware author that no-one was registering his programs. Until Wol’s article I didn’t know they existed. I tracked them down, and sent off my shekels with some encouraging words.)

Thank you! Live long and prosper!

Peter Eckersly (via the Internet)

‘Nuff said. Thanks, Peter, and thanks to the many others who sent public and private congratulations. Your comments were very much appreciated by everyone here at WOLR.

SHAREWARE BRIEFS

Quick Takes and Pure Opinion from Wolly

 SOFTWARE MANAGER

Uninstall, fix, understand

There’s always room for one more Windows uninstall program, particularly a shareware entry and especially when it’s only $19.95! Software Manager lives up to its name, with a wide range of good tools, reports, and stuff you expect to see and definitely need when you’re trying to wrestle an errant Windows program to the mat. It brings three Wizards to the fore: an Installation Wizard that helps to safely guide you through installing new software on your system, an Uninstall Wizard to disengage an unwanted program, using an install log you created during the first step; and a Configuration File Wizard, to help fix problems while safely backing up the modified files. The vault is a great place; a directory where the program salts away copies of critical files. Software Manager also formats and creates a rescue disk, which if you don’t have salted away in a safe place right now, you will someday wish you did. Wolly’s illustration shows samples of some of the many drop-down menu options the program provides; the button bar makes getting to some of them even easier. Wolly suggests that if you don’t already wear a computer condom, it’s not too late to grab SFTMGR4.ZIP and protect yourself.

3D TEXTURE MAP

Coolest Screensaver & GoodDeedWare to boot

On occasion Wolly runs across a really neat new screensaver — this is one of those occasions. This 3D screen saver requires 256 colors to be appreciated (forgive Wolly’s 16 color shrunken display — it doesn’t do it justice), and if you intend to stare at it for long, you’d better have a consulting optometrist. It fills your screen with a variety of solids, and you can choose from several forms, and then animates them. The rotating colors disappearing into the center of the screen is very effective, the moving 3-D wheel of color circulating over a similar background, and the speed of the display on Wolly’s old 486-33 was impressive. — naaaaah - it was WAY COOL! This is one of those screen savers that really makes you look up and pay attention. And for you paranoids in the group, it can be password protected. TEXT3D.ZIP (27K) is GoodDeedWare, meaning you must perform a good deed for your copy to be legal. Wolly’s was telling you all about it. Tallis Software, the originator, has done a good deed by distributing this neat screen saver, and deserves your kudos. This is special. Grab it.

 Wolly sez...

click me!

 POLYVIEW

Poly want a graphic?

With zillions of images out there — wouldn’t it be cool to have one neat little utility to view them all (or at least most of ‘em)? And if you could manipulate the images as well — that would be gizmo heaven! Well, Ted Tatman turned Wolly onto PolyView, suggesting it just might be the ticket. It’s a neat looking and compact BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, and Photo-CD graphics viewer and file converter for Windows 95 and Windows NT. Just added to version 2.10 are support for 1, 4, 16, and 32 bit BMP files, including 4 and 8 bit RLE files. Plus, you can copy and paste of bitmaps to and from the Windows clipboard and create scripted slide shows. And like any good 32-bit program, PolyView supports background operation of image manipulation of file saving activities. Wolly suggests you associate your BMP, GIF, JPG, TIF and PCD extensions so that when you click on those files in Explorer or File Manager, PolyView will come up to display ‘em. Very handy little Windows doo-dad! Grab POLYV210.ZIP (258K) from Polybytes and register it for only $20.00.

KAZSTAMP

Up to 32 cents

Sometimes Wolly doesn’t want to pull out any of the heavy artillery to simply print a neat envelope. That’s when KazStamp comes in handy. It stores return addresses that can quickly be chosen from the drop-down menu, and you can even put an attractive graphic alongside. Though it won’t store addressees, you can use the copy and paste method if you like. Pick separate fonts for addressee and return address fields, and KazStamp will even plug in and print the Postnet code. Three sizes of envelopes are accommodated, and their height, width, and indent can be adjusted. KAZSTA50.ZIP (205K) has balloon help, a great help file, and can be yours for the insignificant sum of only $5.00!

COOL EDIT

Still Cooler

It’s hard to believe, but this shareware WAV editor keeps getting better and better! They don’t call it “Cool” for nothin’! Now up to version 1.51, Cool Edit now has improved record and playback level meters, up to 32 levels of undo, and supports even more formats of sound recording than you can shake a floppy at. Multiple copies of Cool Edit can be loaded, copied to, and pasted from in any mixture of wave formats. You want bells and whistles in your WAV editor? Cool Edit has got ‘em, including echoes, reverbs, flanging, volume normalization, equalization, compression and delay. Cool Edit can synthesize just about any sound using its noise and tone generation functions along with the various wave transformation functions. For instance, any sample can be used as an “instrument” and set to music, like a dog barking “Jingle Bells”, or Tarzan yelling the national anthem. Plus, WAVs of any size can be edited, limited only by your hard drive space. Wolly’s bud, WAV makin’ fanatic Ted Tatman swears that the only WAV editor that comes close to Cool Edit is a commercial product retailing for $495.00. But you can register Cool Edit from Syntrillium Software Corporation for $25.00, $50.00 or $100.00. Grab COOL151.ZIP (759K) and check it out.

 SNAPSHOT 32

Say cheese!

SnapShot 32 takes pictures of your Windows 95 or NT desktop and whatever is displayed on it. Your shot can be the whole desktop, a user-outlined rectangle, a window, or a client area. Once copied and displayed in the program’s window, you can save it as a BMP or GIF, copy it to the clipboard, or print it. SnapShot 32 has a couple neat options to set it apart from the rest: an option to include the cursor image, and a couple hot-keys that can repeat the last capture, or automatically capture and save a pre-defined screen area to a file. SNAP230.ZIP (219K) can be registered for $20.00.

VISUAL FEAST WALLPAPER

Wolly’s just Wild about this for Wallpaper and Web possibilities!

The sad part about this is Wolly’s crummy 16 color rendition of this really cool 256 color bitmap. There are fifteen really cool 200x200 pixel bitmaps in this collection that are great for wallpaper, or for a wild World Wide Web background. You can use if for personal use for free, but VFSTA.ZIP is just a sample of a much more incredible collection. Register for $29.95 and you’ll get Wild Tiles!! Art Textures, a CD ROM chock full of bunches of more tiles and a whole bunch more neat graphics and shareware. Read Bob Gollihur’s review of Wild Tiles in this issue for details, but get your own taste from this yummy sampler.

SCOTT CRAIG’S CONNECT TIME MONITOR

Keep an eye on your on-line bills

Wolly didn’t really have the time to wring this one out, but what he saw he liked. We all know how easy it is to get lost on the Web — next thing you know you’re 15,000 miles and and hour and a half away from where you started. When the BabyBell and Chuck’s Internet Service bills come in, you get that suddenly sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach. Well, thanks to Mr. Craig, you can at least get that sickening feeling in advance of getting the bill, or perhaps avoid it altogether. This great freeware program keeps track of multiple services and the time you spend on them, and has more bells and whistles than you might expect. It will automatically start, autodetecting a Com port, or start an application itself. Auto-reset the timer on a particular day of the month, sound an alarm when a particular time is reached, and more. And if it’s possible that there’s something it doesn’t do, just wait, since Scott is enhancing it just about every 10 minutes. Today’s file name is CCM27A.ZIP (141K), but you might want to do a (l)ocate on a PCBoard for CCM*.ZIP or whatever your particular on-line service does for searches to get the latest version. (Editor’s Note: Yep, as we go to press the newest file name is CCM281.ZIP, but that will change, too.) The system is very well documented and a great help in keeping control of the pursestrings, or at least making you aware when you go overboard. Wolly thanks you, Scott Craig, for this great program!

click me!

ALIEN CLOCK

It is to me

Wolly had to include this self-described conversation piece. Apparently there is a physical clock out there in the New Age type shops; this is a $5.00 shareware version. This should be right down Wolly’s alley, being an alien himself. In the words of the author: “This clock is based on each color having a numeric value.  Green = 1, Red = 5 and Yellow = 10.  The 6 green lights on the bottom represent the seconds in binary format. The horizontal row of 4 green and 2 red LED’s represent the hours.  If there is one red and two green lights on then the hour is 7. The five yellow lights represent the tens part of the minutes.  The 5 vertical lights (one red and 4 green) represent the ones part of the minutes.  For example:  If there are 2 Yellow Lights, 1 Red Light and 3 Green Lights the minutes would be 28.” Wolly gets it! Let’s see — then it’s 63 minutes after 42, right?. Okay, download ALN_CLK.ZIP (51K) and figure it out for yourself!

TRUETYPE FONTS

‘bout time

ARTDECO1.ZIP (256K) (watermarked collection)

   SAMRKNTT.ZIP (24K) (includes oblique)

As always, read the documentation with each file and register your shareware fonts if you want to continue to use them.

GUITAR TEACHER

Cmaj good guitar program

Wolly’s looked at a number of guitar chord programs, and Guitar Teacher impressed him in a number of ways. If you really want to take advantage of its capabilities, you’d better have a sound card with MIDI capability — it can play the chords as well as picture them for you. Chords can be chosen and pictured in a few different inversions, and the chord structure is documented, though only configurations on the lower end of the fretboard are shown.  Pushbuttons and popup dialogs make this program easy to use and absolutely great for a beginner; even a tuner is included. Guitar Teacher is also the first program Wolly has ever seen that offers an option of a specialized display for left-handed players. Documentation is good, too, as are the tips and information provided. GTWIN201.ZIP (494K) comes in two registered versions, for $15 and $25 for the Pro, an expanded version that sounds pretty good.

 SOAPBOX

Wolly is encouraged that more and more shareware authors are offering support through e-mail. Still, he’s shocked that so many still only provide a snailmail location for technical support. In this fast food, remote control world, we users want instant gratification and prompt support. If you don’t provide a modern avenue for us to get in touch when necessary, chances are that your creation is going to land in the bit bucket.

If you’re saying that it’s cheaper for you to just offer snailmail, you aren’t taking into consideration the fact that putting a letter together takes more time and expense than an email response. On the other hand you’re right — you don’t hear from as many people. Of course, you’re right — you’re also getting less registrations from folks who assume you aren’t sincerely interested in feedback or responding to inquiries. Get an Internet-accessible account through a servicer or major on-line service! NOW!

STARFILE UTILITIES

a review by Ed Hoffman

Word 6.0 has virtually become the de facto standard for word processing in the Windows environment. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is the marketing efforts of Microsoft. Despite the power of Microsoft in the marketplace, Word 6.0, is quite frankly a well written and very powerful word processor. Admittedly though, Word is not a paragon of simplicity when it comes to accessing the many features built into the program. Fortunately for we users, there is a wealth of third-party shareware to help simplify and streamline virtually any word processing task you may need to perform with Word 6.0. One such offering is the StarFile Utilities. This Word 6.0 add-on is a collection of utilities that not only harness the power of Word, but actually makes performing a variety of otherwise complex actions rather easy and quite painless.

Once installed, StarFile Utilities creates its own toolbar to access the various utilities. The program gives you the option to install all the utilities, or only selected applications that you feel you’ll need. This feature, in and of itself, has endeared the program to my heart. I tend to go ballistic when any program, especially shareware, insists on installing all its applets and utilities whether I want them or not. To further simplify the installation, the complete program runs from a single DOC file. Each of the various features and utilities is described in this file, so you’ll be able to determine what each utility does. This makes deciding whether to load it or not much easier.

Since I personally use Word 6.0 regularly, I’ve become so accustomed to the remarkable functionality and utility of these applets that I’d be hard pressed to do any word processing work without the StarFile Utilities on my system. Although each of the operations performed by this program could be accomplished with Word or from within Windows, this collection of jewels makes using Word considerably faster and easier, regardless of your level of experience. StarFile Utilities’ power features simply make you more productive. This is definitely a worthwhile collection of utilities that you’ll want to add to your system. For these reasons, as well as the overall quality of the programming in this collection, the StarFile Utilities has earned the Works for Me Award for this month.

The following is a brief description of the individual utilities and the specific functions each will allow you to perform.

Star File

The Star File utility is a simplified file manager that runs from within Word 6.0. No doubt you can drop out of Word and open the Windows File Manager to perform your various housekeeping and file maintenance chores. However, this utility makes it much easier and you don’t even need to leave Word. With the Star File utility you can perform all file maintenance chores, such as: copy, move, delete, rename, duplicate, and print. You can also change the file attributes, toggle the read-only or set the hidden file attributes. Multiple files can also be opened for editing. The Star File also permits you the option of performing a variety of functions at the directory/subdirectory level. Here you can create new directories and subdirectories, as well as delete, copy or move directories and subdirectories.

Star Light

If your file maintenance chores are more modest, the Star Light utility might be sufficient for your needs. The Star Light utility is a scaled down, or simplified, version of the Star File utility. This program allows you to perform the five most frequent file and directory management chores. Here you can rename files, delete files, and view files. Also, at the directory level, you can create or remove directories or subdirectories.

Fetch It

The Fetch It utility is really handy if you frequently work with the same files, on a regular basis. Here you simply create a listing of the different files and when you need to access them, they are only a mouse click away. To set up your files in Fetch It, simply click the Add button and a dialog box appears. Then add the file description you want along with the file location and file name. Only the description you enter, however, is displayed in the Fetch It window. This makes selecting a specific file much easier, since you do not need to remember the often cryptic 8+3 file name.

Go Directory

If you frequently work with files in the same directories, the Go Directory utility is also quite convenient. This utility works much the same as the Fetch It utility, but at the directory, rather than file level. Here you simply create a listing of the different directories and subdirectories you access on a regular basis. When you need to go to that directory, just open the Go Directory dialog box and a listing of your selected directories appears. These directories are shown with a description that you enter, rather than the actual directory name. This also makes finding specific directories much easier.

Quick View

The Quick View applet is a novel utility that shows you an instant reduced size view of the current document. This will allow you to see the document layout and includes a Print or Print All option.

Lock Tight

With the Lock Tight option, you can quickly and easily encrypt your sensitive documents. This way you’ll not need to worry about who might get into your system to see what you’ve been up to. This utility is network secure and once locked, the files can only be opened with a password that you provide.

STAR Macro Installer

The Star Macro Installer allows you to quickly and easily install macros from other document files or template files. This utility also offers an option to delete selected macros from these files as well.

Font Lister

If you’ve ever wanted a printed copy of the fonts on your system, the Font Lister will make short work of an often tedious task. This utility creates a document that lists and prints a 12 point basic character set for any or all the fonts installed on your system.

Tune Towne

The Tune Towne applet allows you to include a variety of WAV or MIDI sound file in your documents. The utility gives you the option of inserting, editing, previewing or deleting these sound files. The main program also allows you to specify your favorite sound editor to use with this utility.

Calendar Please

Calendars are documents we all use quite frequently. With the Calendar Please utility, you can now create your own calendar, right within Word, with very little effort. Several different formats are available for monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual calendars. These may then be printed, or added to another document.

STAR Network Administrator

The Star Network Administrator allows you the option of opening or locking selected drives on your system. This utility also controls several of the other configurable applets in the collection. Here you simply access the Star Network Administrator to open the configuration options in the other utilities.

Address It

An address book is certainly a handy option to have when working with Word. The Address It utility allows you to setup both personal and business address books. These may then be used for creating mailing lists, addressing letters or envelopes, and a variety of similar applications. The specific formats used can also be quickly and easily changed to suit any specialized or personalized documents.

The Runner

One of the more useful features of Windows is the ability to run several different programs at the same time. However, to access these programs, you’ll often need to drop out of Word. With the Runner utility, you can now access up to nine different programs, right from within Word. I find this utility quite useful for starting my supplemental dictionary or grammar programs. Likewise, I frequently need to access a few different programs to do mathematical calculations or conversions. With this utility, I can access these programs without leaving Word. The Network Administrator is used to configure the specific buttons that launch these programs.

In summary, StarFile Utilities is a very useful and affordable collection of programs and applets for Word 6.0 that add considerable functionality and flexibility to the basic Word 6.0 program. Check it out!

NOTEBOOK 1.5

a review by Ed Hoffman

Is it simply my imagination, or does Microsoft deliberately create utility programs to frustrate the user? One notable example of the more annoying programs within Windows is Notepad. While purported to be a text editor, this program lacks many of the features and attributes that I feel should be part of even the most elementary text editing program. For example, the insistence of this program to default to showing only TXT files. Though this is easily remedied by changing the *.TXT default to the optional *.* entry, it does take several key strokes or mouse clicks. Here you’ll need to go to File - Open - List Files of Type, just to make this change. The next time you open Notepad, you’ll need to go through the whole process again. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I would think users are more likely to use Notepad to view a range of different file types, rather than just TXT files. But this is only one of my arguments with this program.

Another of the more exasperating aspects of Notepad is the limited file size the program allows you to view. Try to open a file, even a TXT file, that is larger than about 35k and you’ll receive a reminder of this limitation in the form of one of Microsoft’s helpful little error messages. In particular, this one reads:

I guess, that we can all learn to use Write for these activities, but more often than not, when I open Notepad, I don’t need a word processor, just a viewer. If I want to open a word processor, I could open Word 6.0. But using Word 6.0, or even Write for that matter, as a viewer is a little overkill. Much the same as trying to rid yourself of house flies with a tank. So, rather than giving up, I went searching for a shareware alternative to Notepad. Believe me, there is no shortage of text editors in the shareware arena. Many of these programs are more like mini-word processors rather than simple text editors. But fortunately I’ve found a program that does exactly what Notepad does, without the irritants. This program is Notebook 1.5. And, if you’ve not yet taken this program for a test drive, you definitely should.

The Notebook 1.5 program is a very good example of a well written shareware program. This program does just a few things, but it does them very well and with a minimum of fuss. Unlike so many other programs that try to do everything and end up not doing anything very well, this program is both functional and very well behaved. Not only will this program handle virtually any size file you may have, but it defaults to *.* when you open a file.

The first handy feature of the program is the toolbar across the top of the screen. This toolbar allows you to access all the major features without resorting to the menu system. The toolbar may be turned on or off as you wish. If you forget what a specific icon on the toolbar does, a balloon help system is also available. Here you simply place the cursor over the icon and the name or function of the button appears as a balloon reference. This feature may also be turned off once you feel you’ve mastered the meaning of the icons.

The File menu also has a variety of additional features, not available in Notepad. The standard New, Open, Save, Save As, Print, Print Setup and Exit options are virtually the same as those found in Notepad. However, the Page Setup function is a bit more powerful. Any changes to the page setup in Notepad only apply to the open document. When you close and reopen Notepad, the program reverts to the default values. The Notebook program, however, has a Save button and a Default button. If you choose to change the page setup the changes are permanent. But, should you wish to revert to the standard settings at a later time, a simple click on the Default button resets all the values automatically.

Two other nice features found in the File menu are the Insert option and the History list. The Insert command allows you to add a file to the current document. This functions much like the Edit - Paste command in Notepad, but rather than copying from the clipboard, this command actually inserts a selected file. The file may be placed at any insertion point you may select or the file may also replace highlighted text in your document.  The history list in Notebook operates much the same as the history lists found in many other Windows programs. Here the last four files you’ve worked on are displayed and are instantly available.

The Edit menu is also similar to that found in Notepad. However, a few unique touches have been added. In addition to the Undo feature found in both programs, Notebook also adds a Redo command. Likewise, in addition to Select All, there is a Clear All option in Notebook. The Search menu also has a few options not found in Notepad. Where Notepad only allows you the options to Find and Find Next, the Notebook program also includes a Replace and Replace Next option. Another useful command found in this menu is the Word Count option. Now, if you need to know how many words are in your documents, rather than counting the words manually, or opening the document in your word processor, Notebook does this with a simple mouse click.

The Options menu allows you to control the appearance of the program as well as several of its operational characteristics. The Toolbar option allows you to display or hide both the toolbar itself and the balloon labels. The Status Bar option allows you to either display or hide the status bar at the bottom of the screen. The Fonts command gives you complete control over the fonts in your document. Even the color of the text can be changed with this option. If you tire of working with Notebook, with its standard white screen, the Colors command will allow you to change the screen background color to anything you desire. A Tab Set option permits you to set, clear or adjust the tab settings in your document. Finally, the Word Wrap command will allow you to set the display width of your document. And, this will reformat any size document. Unlike Notepad, which cannot reformat the text to suit a specific word wrap, when loading some larger size files. When this option is selected, it stays set until you change it, unlike Notepad, which reverts to no word wrap at the end of each use.

The Notebook program is a first rate replacement for the Notepad program. If you frequently find Notepad to be more a hindrance than a help, take a look at Notebook 1.5. You will not be disappointed.

FreeAgent 1.0
FREE AGENT

a review by Ed Rasimus

I remember growing up in Chicago. I liked to read books and, therefore, I spent a bit of time at the neighborhood branch of the Chicago Public Library (when I wasn’t out stealing hubcaps). It was a comfortable little store-front operation that I could find my way around with ease. Inevitably, however, there was the fateful day when I took the “El” to the “Loop” and for the very first time visited the main Chicago Public Library. It was a huge, block-long towering stone edifice with veritable canyons of bookshelves crammed with volumes. Sections were devoted to newspapers, microfilm, documents, journals, and periodicals. I was intimidated. I was lost. I was humbled, and I was never to feel competent or comfortable there.

Today, in the emerging “Information Age”, there is a parallel to my youthful experience. The equivalent to the local branch library is the local bulletin board with an assortment of maybe as many as one or two hundred discussion groups or “echoes.” We check in, we look around, and we get comfortable picking up a few areas to monitor and participate in. It’s a reasonable size problem for most of us to get our arms around. We can handle it without too much help. Maybe if we get really involved we might employ an “off-line reader” to help us capture the message traffic and take care of our correspondence.

Then, we find our way to where the “big kids” play, the equivalent in the on-line world to the downtown library -- the Internet. The primary interaction on the Internet is in the “newsgroups.” The last estimate I saw was that there are more than 20,000 newsgroup subject areas worldwide. Most Internet providers in the US are currently offering around 10,000 groups to choose from. Clearly if a user is going to get the most out of this capability, some help is needed from your software. Enter FreeAgent, a powerful new entry into the newsreader software arena.

FreeAgent opens to a three Window display. One Window of the display is the newsgroup browser listing. The second section of the screen lists message headers for the current newsgroup selected in the browser window. The third portion of the screen displays the message text for the selected header. The three sections are user configurable for both layout and content. If you would like newsgroup names in a vertical list down the left of the screen, with message text on the upper right quarter of the monitor, you can have it. Typical Windows controls are employed to conduct operations, including standard menu bar, tool bar with pop-up labels, and a status bar along the bottom of the screen, to keep you advised of what’s occurring in the background.

Group list, Headers and Message Text Displayed

FreeAgent allows the user to operate on-line or off-line. Upon installation, FreeAgent will ask you to go on-line and collect the full list of newsgroups from your server. These will be displayed in the browser Window for your selection. By highlighting newsgroups of interest you can create an abbreviated list of those groups to which you will “subscribe.” Once the group list is captured, the program will retain the list for you. Once a month or so, you may want to choose the menu option of updating your group list with “new” entries. When you do so, FreeAgent will offer you a dialog choice for cleaning “extinct” groups out of your listing. By clicking on the title bar of the browser Window, you can change the display from “all” to “new” to “subscribed” groups.

With newsgroups of interest selected, you can choose to go on-line and “get new headers” or “get all headers” for selected or subscribed groups. The right side of the upper half of the FreeAgent display will show all the headers in the selected group in thread order. A system of icons is used to indicate whether titles represent single message entries or groups of messages in a common thread. All messages in a thread can be displayed in a hierarchical order, so it is simple to keep track of who is responding to whom. Number of lines per message is indicated. Message headers are color-coded you can quickly tell which threads have changed since the last time you updated your header list. If on-line, you can double-click a header, or click a toolbar button to display the full message text. If off-line, you can mark message headers and then when all areas of interest are selected, go on-line and get the message bodies in minimum time.

The bottom half of the FreeAgent screen is the message body window. Messages can be read, saved, forwarded and replied to from this area. Here again, operations can be conducted in real-time while on-line, or at your leisure off-line.

When you choose to respond to a posting in a newsgroup, you can post a reply to the thread, initiate a new article in the news group, and simultaneously e-mail the originator of the message. Or, if you prefer to take your correspondence out of the newsgroup, you can choose e-mail only. When you choose to e-mail or post a new article the full screen text editor pops up with a “quotable” copy of the message to which you are responding. Addressing is fully automatic for the newsgroup and the e-mail. The only short-coming I found in the program was in this area. There is a default maximum percentage of quoted material that could not be adjusted. A worthwhile feature most of the time, but one over which I would like some override control occasionally. Multiple signature files are supported, so you can tailor your automatic signature for the group in which you are messaging.

Text editor controls quoted messages

Long documents and UU-encoded binary graphics are often contained in multiple files. FreeAgent handles these situations better than any Internet software I’ve seen. Not only does the program handle the encoding/decoding during file transfer, but FreeAgent automatically recognizes the component headers that make up the complete package. If, for example, a graphic consists of four message headers (0/3, 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3) you will get all of the components, even if you didn’t select them all on your receive list.

FreeAgent maintains the newsgroup list, the headers in requested groups and the requested message bodies in a database. When you launch the program, you will only go to the Internet server when you request update of the information you already have. The program allows the user to select the size of the database it will maintain, so that users with limited storage space won’t find their hard drive consumed with old newsgroup messages. The program also auto-purges old messages and headers on a user-selectable cycle.

FreeAgent comes with a complete and very useable help file. Details on installation and operation of the program are well covered. In the event that the included documentation doesn’t cover your difficulty, the program’s producer, Forte, Inc., maintains a very high quality World Wide Web home page (http://www.forteinc.com/forte/) that will take care of most problems for you.

If you have been inundated with information while trying to work with Internet newsgroups — if you’ve been spending too much time on-line trying to read and answer your message threads — if you would like to be able to quickly find and deal with only the new messages in a group — if you’ve ever been frustrated by capturing only partial GIFs or JPGs — it’s just possible FreeAgent could be for you. It is one of the most complete, well-documented, and efficient news readers I’ve seen. And, best of all, as the name implies, FreeAgent is FREE.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS

a review by Steven Justice

Either you don’t need the applications I’m reviewing here or you need them badly. If you are a student, professor, or researcher--if you ever write things with bibliography and citations--you are wasting hours and hours of your time if you do not use any of them. Though these three packages--Citation 6.0 for WordPerfect, ProCite 3.0 for Windows, and EndNote 2 Plus for Windows--are all “bibliographic software” designed to help with managing what you read and citing it in your prose, they have very different strengths and will appeal to different sorts of writers. This will be an important decision and (for reasons to appear later) there’s almost no going back once you’ve committed yourself.

I tested each of these with a 40-page essay of mine, which has a couple hundred citations in several languages, both “in-text” and footnote.

ProCite makes a dazzling first impression. Its user interface is a model of elegant database design. The large window on the bottom lists your entries; double-click on one and you can edit it. In the upper left  are pre-defined sorts: click on “Authors,” for example, and all the authors who appear in the database will appear in the upper right. The data-entry screen is a beautiful place to work.

To cite works from your bibliographic database in a word-processor document, you enter enough information to identify the record uniquely within delimiters you choose. (such as “<Justice Rebellion 1994>“). When you’re done, ProCite scans the document, inserting a Word “field” for each citation, which then can be formatted according to any of a number of bibliographic styles (Chicago, MLA, APA, etc.). If the first journal rejects your article, you can always reformat it according to another journal’s style sheet! This is why I love bibliographic software.

EndNote is less luxurious, but it is powerful, very fast, and very easy to use with your word processor. Select one or more of the citations in the list, press CTRL+C to copy to the clipboard, and paste it into your document; EndNote places a code there that it will later scan and format according to the bibliographic style you want.

Citation’s interface is the most primitive of the three. You can’t view your entries in a list as you can in the others. When you create an entry you create an access phrase for it--a couple of words--that you must type into your document whenever you want to cite that work. (Citation will let you print out an alphabetized list of your access phrases.) Then, like the others, it scans the document to format the citations.

Which do you want? Let’s consider some features and issues:

Word processor compatibility. Citation is and always has been a WordPerfect add-on. EndNote, by significant contrast, supports the big three up through the current versions (AmiPro 3.1, Word 6.0, WordPerfect 6.1); because operates directly on files, without using the word processor itself, and will also format Rich Text Format (RTF) files. It cannot, however, scan footnotes in RTF or WordPerfect 6.1 files, though the publisher says that the latter is high on their list of bug fixes. ProCite promises eventually to support them all; at present it works only with Word 6.0 (WordPerfect support should be finished by the end of the year).

Formatting citations. Here there is no contest at all: Citation wins by a mile. It will create footnotes for you, if your style calls for them, and, importantly, knows the difference between the first appearance of an item (formatted, say, “Steven Justice, Writing and Rebellion: 1381 [Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1994], p. 281”) and subsequent citations (“Justice, Writing, p. 17”) and formats each correctly. ProCite also distinguishes between kinds of sources--books, journal articles, collections of essays--and formats them, in theory, correctly (more on this later). But if you use a style that distinguishes between short and long citations, you will have to edit your footnotes by hand. Formatting citations is EndNote’s weakest feature. It formats all citations in text or footnotes according to a single “generic” style. This means that it does short “in-text” citations (usually author’s last name and year) very well, but is less tractable with citations that must give more information and distinguish between kinds of source. Fortunately it is so thoroughly customizable that you can easily get around most of these problems.

Speed. No contest here, either: At formatting EndNote is almost unbelievably fast--it scanned and formatted my 40-page essay in about ten seconds--and it is nimble at everything else. ProCite, on the other hand, lumbers: the screen is slow to refresh, entries are slow to save, and it takes several minutes, rather than several seconds, to format a paper. (The publisher promises an interim release, probably in September, that will address the speed problem.) Citation performs reasonably well, though it has a little of the drag one associates with WordPerfect products.

Ease of use. There are almost no mysteries about Citation: its manual is smaller than some wine lists. Entering the citations in your paper, however, is a chore because you must remember the “access phrases” for works; you can print out the access phrases, but if you constantly add items, you have to print out a new list regularly. ProCite is the one of the most counterintuitive good Windows programs I have ever used: its field names are initially confusing (what is the difference between “analytic author” and “monographic author”?), and customizing the output is daunting. Its documentation, in two volumes, runs to over a thousand pages. EndNote, by contrast, is at once very powerful and elegantly simple: almost everything, including customizing entry forms and output styles, is quick and intuitive. (It also has what may be the best documentation I’ve seen.)

Supported publisher’s styles. All three ship with dozens of pre-defined styles. ProCite and EndNote allow you to create your own. The EndNote styles I tried were perfect, as were Citation’s; ProCite’s were loaded with errors of punctuation and spacing. Though you cannot create custom styles in Citation, the publisher will create them for a nominal fee.

Foreign language support. Different languages capitalize titles differently. ProCite is helpful here: it allows you to specify that a title observe exactly the capitalization you give it rather than be automatically formatted by the software. It is also easy to insert accented and special characters, with an “insert symbol” dialogue like that in Microsoft Word. EndNote always capitalizes titles the way you enter them, so there’s no problem; but entering accented characters is a royal pain. Unless you have a keyboard macro program (like ProKey or Whiskers--the great freeware Compose won’t work with EndNote), you must rely on Windows’ Character Map. Entering such characters is a breeze in Citation, which uses WordPerfect’s “compose” function, but you must correct capitalization by hand.

Data format, import, and export. ProCite and EndNote both use proprietary formats: they will import delimited (comma- or tab-separated text). Citation uses the WordPerfect merge format, and so can import any database format that WordPerfect has a filter for. But since their data structures are all different, importing only works if your data is already structured for the application. Only EndNote offers useful importing and exporting, but only to other bibliographic formats, including ProCite itself.

Access to on-line databases and catalogues. Both EndNote and ProCite offer add-ons--called EndLink and BiblioLink II, respectively--that let you download from on-line catalogues into your database. I tested them on the University of California’s MELVYL catalogue, and found both to be superbly implemented. This function is so useful that the lack of it puts Citation well behind the other two.

Price: As always, we give the retail prices at the end of the review, but  ProCite and Citation are available at discounts to students and faculty, the former a substantial discount. EndNote and EndLink can be had together for $99 until October 31, 1995.

So which to choose? Obviously it depends on what is most important to you. Though there are still a few bugs in the system, ProCite has some claim to be thought the all-around best of these applications. Unfortunately, my machine (a 486/33 with 20MB of RAM) is not computer enough for it. Citation will appeal to some WordPerfect users because of its immensely sophisticated formatting capacities and its low price. In the end, however, it’s EndNote that I will be using: its unmatchable speed and flexibility and the ease of customization make it a downright pleasure to use.

SMART ADDRESS 2.0

a review by Ted Tatman

There must be dozens of shareware address programs, but here’s one that stands out among the rest: Smart Address 2.0 from Oakley Data Services. This program has the feel and functionality of a top commercial program. Plus, it looks great! The tabbed dialogs and toolbar tips make the program very simple to use.

Smart Address lets you have multiple Address Books open at once, with each Address Book displayed in its own Window. With each Address Book entry, you can keep notes, and associate dates (birthdays, anniversaries, next customer call, etc.) with entries. Smart Address will even remind you when a date is due.

If you like to make programs “your own”, you’re in luck. Nearly all parts of Smart Address can be customized. You can change the on screen font and each entry can be grouped into categories you define. As a matter of fact, you don’t even have to use the program as an address book exclusively. It can be easily set up to contain other database-type files.

Smart Address lets you import  from text and CSV files and export  to text files, plus you can insert entries directly into your word processor. Several word processors are supported, including Ami Pro, Word For Windows, WordPerfect For Windows, Microsoft Works, Windows Write and even Notepad.

Printing? No problem! The program supports printing to envelopes, address labels and lists. Many envelope sizes and address label styles are supported, including labels from Avery and NEBS.

Check out it’s search and indexing capabilities. They’re similar to what you’d find in a high-end data base program, but they’re very simple to use. Your searches can be as “wild” or “specific” as you want them to be. If you’ve got a modem, Smart Address can dial phone numbers for you. Smart Address also will backup your Address Books automatically every time you close one. And, by ordering a custom version of Smart Address, you can secure your Address Books with the program’s built-in encryption feature.

All-in-all, this is a very cool little program. If anyone still thinks that shareware can’t be as good as “shrink-wrapped” software, they should look at Smart Address 2.0. If you’re looking for an address program that looks good, performs well and is simple to use, then download this great program and experience it for yourself!

HOT DOG

a review by Steven Jay Cohen

I must say that I find it increasingly true that the open marketplace tends to produce marvelous things in the heat of competition. No sooner had I reviewed three HTML authoring tools in WOLR #100, when HotDog came to my attention. I had just about fooled myself into believing that I had Web Crawled and Lycos Searched out just about every HTML authoring tool out there when this one came out of the blue! Well... not quite out of the blue — actually this refreshingly well-done application comes to us from Australia.

HotDog sports a Windows 95-style interface. It is full-featured, easy-to-use and is accompanied by impressively thorough online Help. It has a toolbar that seems to go on forever — everything you need is right out front where you can grab it.

HotDog’s Extensive Toolbar

HotDog supports both Netscape Extensions to HTML and proposed HTML 3 elements. The current shareware release (v1.0024) contains practically all of the most recent implementations. Its hierarchical drop-down menu structure is highly intuitive, tremendously flattening the learning curve. Creating forms and tables is a snap! This is the easiest interface I’ve seen for this purpose. All you need to do is fill in the blanks, provide the required parameters for the configuration you have in mind, click on a button and you’re done. Links, images and text files are easily inserted by drag ‘n drop from File manager or from HotDog’s own internal file manager.

The built-in considerations for individual working style are extensive. It is apparent that the author works intimately with HTML construction. HotDog provides, in some cases, as many as four different ways to accomplish a given task. Simply use the one that best suits your taste. For example, in order to tag a phrase for bold formatting, you can click on the familiar [image] button; choose from either of two drop-down menus: Tags|Font|Bold or Format|Bold; or choose the “Bold” item from a complete Tag listing you can keep “on top” as you work. The soon-to-be-released Pro version promises to allow complete customization of HotDog’s internal tag database, making it easy to incorporate new developments as they become available.

HotDog has over 45 options that allow the user to control its behavior. It will automatically create backup files in a directory of your choice and you can specify default directories for documents, published files, graphics files, INF files, and template files. It  permits the selection of background and foreground colors as well as font style and size in the workspace and allows you to choose display attributes for the toolbar. Good HTML authorship requires due consideration for the differences in document appearance in various browsers. HotDog has a provision that lets you pick a browser each time you wish to preview a document. One of the nicest features is a customizable “Word-like” Replace Text list that will automatically replace designated entries with the desired text when publishing a document. This is extremely handy for making global changes. Instead of having to search out every occurrence of a phrase, all you need to do is change the Replace Text entry and re-publish the document.

I don’t want to bore you with a long list of features, but there are so many good ones here, that I would be remiss if I neglected to mention at least the following. Keep in mind that this is only a partial list. There are truly too many to print here. I encourage you to download the program and take a look for yourself.

   Edit your CGI scripts as well as HTML files.

   Translate extended characters into HTML codes while you’re typing.

   Convert HTML documents into plain text with its Remove Tags feature.

   Automatically restore last session when HotDog starts.

   Exceptionally thorough HTML reference in Help file format.

   Complete tutorial for HTML creation.

   Tabbed document bar for easy switching among multiple open documents.

Quite honestly, the more I use HotDog, the more I like it - enough, in fact, that I’ve decided to register it! Now what I’m really anxious to look at is the Professional version. Some of its promised additional features are unlimited file size - HotDog Standard can’t handle files larger than 32k; customizable toolbars - assign your own icons and functions; customizable shortcut keys - assign any command to any key combination; customizable tags - create your own beginning and end tags, or modify the existing ones; a spelling checker - with several different language modules available; and the capability to create new documents from an unlimited number of custom templates. I am told that it will also include a multi-level undo feature, and the ability to dig through an entire directory of files to accomplish a Search and Replace in “grep-like” fashion. Now there’s a function I can really use!

HotDog turns out to be a welcome surprise. If you author HTML files on any level at all, I’m sure you’ll like it. Thank goodness for healthy competition, free enterprise, and shareware!

ALKI SEEK

a review by Ed Hoffman

Not long ago, I received a call from a frantic friend. (It seems, the only calls I get these days are from frantic people, friends and acquaintances alike. But that’s fodder for another story). Anyway, it seems this friend, whose level of experience qualifies her as a senior novice, had spent a large part of the week before working on a report. However, this morning, when she tried to retrieve the report to add a few figures and to print it out, alas the report had gone AWOL (that’s a military term for not being where you’re supposed to be). After asking a few pointed questions to assure myself that she had indeed actually created this document, we set out to find the missing tome. Having consumed about an hour on the phone trying to have her explain what was on her screen, I decided the only way to find this file and to avoid a cauliflower ear, was for me to physically look at her system. I grabbed a couple of disks, and off I went, to try to resolve her dilemma.

To shorten an otherwise long story, the missing file was found. It seems she thought she had named the file WIDGET.DOC and had put it in the GADGET subdirectory. It turns out that the file was in her root directory on the C:\ drive and had the default Word for Windows file name of DOC1.DOC. This experience did, however, have a silver lining. She is now much more careful about what she names her files and where she puts them. But, probably even importantly, she now owns a copy of Alki Seek, the program I used to track down her missing file.

 	Let’s face it, unless you have an uncommonly good, or even inhuman, memory, you will from time to time lose files on your system. But, if you have Alki Seek on your computer, misplaced files are only a minor inconvenience and not a catastrophe. I’ve come to rely on this program for a variety of my writing tasks. Frequently while writing an article or column, I’ll remember that I’ve already written about a similar subject a few years past. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I’ll often retrieve my former work and paraphrase portions of the old piece for the new document. Here Alki Seek is a real gem. All I do is type in a few key words and set it lose in my archive files. Voilà, in just a few seconds everything I’ve written about this subject is nicely listed on my screen.

The Alki Seek program offers considerable power and functionality. In particular, the overall flexibility and ability to set up customized searches are the heart of the power in this program. Searches can easily be setup for virtually anything on your system with this program. If you frequently search the same drive, you may wish to create a standard index of that drive. This will greatly reduce the time required to find what you are looking for. Likewise, if you often search selected directories, a custom index feature will allow you to setup limited searches. Then, rather than searching the index for a complete drive, the search is limited to specific directories and subdirectories. In either case, once an index is setup, the search operation will take a fraction of the time required to go through each file individually.

To setup a search, you’ll first tell the program where to look. The boxes at the top of the screen allow you to specify whether to search a disk or index. You can also specify whether to look for files, directories, or files and directories. The search pattern can be further defined with the buttons at the bottom of the screen. The location button, for example, allows you to specify the specific drive, directory, and subdirectory. The remaining buttons allow you to selectively delineate your search pattern. You can also setup specific search patterns for future searches.

All the parameters and search instructions are shown in the larger window. This is called the Banter box. Each specification you make is shown here. This allows you to see exactly what the program will be doing during the search. Once a search is completed, a second window opens to display the results.

Simply selecting and highlighting a listed file and clicking the right mouse button opens a context menu. Here you can browse the file, open the file, show its specific directory, or a variety of similar tasks. The browse feature is especially handy because it shows you the specific text you are looking for, in the context of the complete document. The search word, or words are also highlighted to make finding the text much easier. Once you’ve located the information you want, you can then move, copy, delete, or rename the file with a simple click in the context menu.

Frankly, the Alki Seek program is the most functional and powerful search tool that I’ve encountered. Comparing this program to many similar offerings on the market, both commercial or shareware is like comparing Microsoft Word to Windows Write for word processing. Believe me, if what you are looking for is on your system, this is one program that will definitely find it.

MY ADVANCED...

a review by Ted Tatman

Chances are you’re familiar with MySoftware Company. This successful company has specialized in producing fairly low cost and easy to use applications for small businesses and home users since 1986. They pride themselves in that their software only takes “five minutes to learn” and their motto is “Keeping It Superbly Simple.” I’ve used their DOS and Windows products for years, and it was with much pleasure I got the opportunity to review two of their leading Windows products, MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates 3.0 and MyAdvancedLabelDesigner 2.0.

I had been using previous DOS and Windows versions of MySoftware’s Invoice program to send invoices to clients. Unfortunately the Windows version (1.0) was not compatible with any of the beta builds of Windows 95, so I had to go back to the DOS version for the many months I was beta testing Win95. However, I’m happy to report that MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates 3.0 runs just fine with Win95.

With MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates, you’re able to generate professional looking quotes, estimates and invoices on your choice of pre-printed forms (available for laser, inkjet or dot matrix printers), letterhead, or plain paper. “Amount Due” and “Tax” calculations are done automatically. Plus, you can add logos and graphics to your invoices and estimates for “big time” look. And, the program lets you use double window envelopes so you don’t have to address envelopes separately.

MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates keeps track of all your customers mailing and shipping addresses and payment history. The program allows you to stay on top of your cash inflow with reports for Accounts Receivable, Aging , Cash Receipts, and Sales Tax, plus an Invoice Journal. Also included are reports for Outstanding Estimates, Sales Trends, and Sales by Customer, Salesperson and Territory.

New to version 3.0 is the ability to change an Estimate or Quote into an Invoice with just one click. Also, the program now remembers Products & Services, which will save you lots of  typing. Input the product or service one time, and the item (or it) will be entered automatically the next time you need to put it in.

Basically, a file in MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates works like a database for your invoices and estimates. When you start a new file, a blank form is displayed where you can enter the first invoice or estimate for the file. When you’re ready to enter the next form, scroll down or click the New button at the top of the screen. (A new blank form is always available at the end of the file.) The Data Entry window is where you type in new invoice or estimate data, or where you can edit or view previous forms. By using the scroll bar in this window, you can scroll to the new form at the end of the stack, or scroll backwards through the stack to view previous forms (or you can also use the “VCR buttons” on the toolbar at the top of the screen).

If you wish, you can use multiple files to track different sets of invoices separately. This would be helpful if you’re entering invoices for two different companies or if you want to keep invoices for different fiscal years separated. MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates can create as many files as you need. (But any reports and statements you view or print will only reflect the invoices and estimates stored in file you have loaded at the time.)

My only complaint about MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates is that the program only runs in full screen mode. It would be nice to be able to re-size the main program window so that it doesn’t take up all of your desktop.

MyAdvancedLabelDesigner was a versatile, yet simple label making program in its 1.x incarnations. Now, with 2.0 it’s even better. Open DataBase Connectivity technology has been added, which means users of Paradox, DBase, Excel, Access, FoxPro and other major database applications can make labels for their existing lists by importing their data into MyAdvancedLabelDesigner.

You can now rotate text with MyAdvancedLabelDesigner. This comes in handy when making labels for video cassette spines and diskettes. And, the program will print nine different types of barcodes, including Code39, UPC and POSTNET.

MyLabelDesigner has three different windows: the Design Window, the Data Entry Window, and the Index Window. Depending on what type of labels you wish to make, you might end up using just one windows, or you could use all three.

When you want to design a label, you’ll start in the Design Window. If you’re creating a one-of-a-kind label (such as return address labels, where the information doesn’t change from label to label), this is the only window you’ll need to work in. After you design your label you’re ready to print one to 9999 copies of this label.

If you create a set of two or more labels where the data or text varies from label to label (such as labels for a mailing list), you get to use more windows. First, you create a label template in the Design Window, where you specify the label size and layout the basic design of the label. There, you place fields to hold the information you will type in the Data Entry Window. If you’re entering a long list of names or data, you may then choose to use the Index Window to help manage your label list.

Besides supporting more than 200 standard Avery and Z-label sizes as well as the creation of custom labels, MyAdvancedLabelDesigner has the ability to print business cards with standard business card stock. Graphics (in PCX, TIF, BMP, EPS, WMF, GIF or TGA formats) are easily added to labels or business cards, plus the program comes with 100 pieces of clip art.

I’ve been very pleased with every piece of software I’ve ever used from MySoftware Company, and these two products are no exception. If you’re looking for a great, easy to use invoicing or label making program, look no further than MyAdvancedInvoices & Estimates 3.0 and MyAdvancedLabelDesigner 2.0.

TIMESLIPS

a review by Bob Gollihur

The wise soul who once said that “Time is Money” was absolutely right. If your business involves billing clients based on time, you need a program that is dependable and complete enough for your requirements. You are entitled to get your due, and responsible to fully account for it to the client. The system should be flexible enough to handle all your needs, and yet be easy enough for every associate to use with a minimum of fuss — after all, time is money. Timeslips Deluxe for Windows meets all these criteria, as a broad based solution for the simplest or very complex requirements.

A good friend and associate of mine had told me of his excellent experiences with the personal version of Timeslips. As a computer consultant, he had long sought a program that would meet his needs for flexibility and attractive billing output. When I found myself in a similar situation as I established my own business, this program was at the top of my list of “must-have” based on his ravings. Turns out he was absolutely right. It’s easy to see why it is the best-selling time and billing program out there.

I must admit that my personal use of Timeslips only scratches the surface of this powerful program. However, an endorsement of the system is that it can be used in a limited fashion by an individual or small concern, but has the power to handle most any need by a massive number of users and even interface to the company general ledger. Its use can grow as your company expands. The program is structured well enough that the power does not get in the way of its use, an important attribute in my opinion.

The Timeslips Navigator is a strong feature that has been improved in version 6.0. It is an optional, and now customizable command center for the many features of the program. The ability to customize the screen to simplify it or create a job-specific interface is a great advantage to MIS folks, to reduce potential errors, lessen confusion, and make processing easier for users. It is not, however, a requirement; you can use the many drop-down menu options.

Each icon brings a different category of options in view, making the use of Timeslips easy and intuitive. My use of the system for Wordsmith Associates never required me to even crack the manual. However, the depth and power of the system are incredible, and it is very well documented. Several help files accompany the program, including one in the form of a tutorial to help you learn by doing. The large manual is very well organized and written very clearly and without jargon or assuming you are already an expert on the program’s operations.

Timeslips can accommodate 30,000 clients, with 128 “sub-clients” to further refine the data tracked. Up to 250 time and expense categories can be predefined, and each event has space for a 2000 character descriptor. A complete client address book can be entered and accessed, with autodialing available through the TAPI (Microsoft Telephony) module in Windows.

In addition to providing regular menu items for entering clients and categories, they can conveniently be added directly from a new or existing time slip. A click on the arrow button starts  Starting the timer and completing a slip is easy, with drop down selections of most criteria. Slips can be browsed, searched, and modified, status changed to place it in a hold, do not bill, or no charge status. Rates can be predefined and overridden, and activities can automatically set billing rates.

I need to reinforce the point regarding this program’s usability. You can feel the difference when a program was simply coded, and when it was designed for real world use. Timeslips Corporation obviously listens to their customers, as is evident in the nice touches throughout the program that make navigation, data entry, and general use easy.

This is a complete time and billing program, with capabilities to handle your requirements from start to finish. Over 50 reports are included, and not only simple worksheet summation reports, but analysis reports for individual users as well as hours and charges to determine productivity, profitability, and overhead. The system will even graph billings by user. New to this version are capabilities for percent complete billing, ideal for users whose billings are based on completing phases of a given project.

Billing is exceptionally flexible, with individual arrangements available for each client. These options can include contingency fees, retainer accounts, client funds replenishment (each common in law and other professional offices), specific hourly rates and flat charges, and even interest and sale taxes. Timeslips includes a graphical bill layout editor, so you can create attractive bills and statements, including graphics to avoid printing costs if desired. Invoices can be previewed or even printed before finalization, and past bills can be retrieved and reprinted.

The new Billing Assistant puts everything you need to know at your fingertips so you can verify it prior to billing. It’s also a great snapshot of where you stand with a client, that allows you to make changes with the click of your mouse. Your cursor turns into a pencil or magnifying glass, depending on the area over which you are moving. Again, the intelligent engineering of this system and interface are quite evident.

Timeslips offers a variety of add-ons: Timeslips Deluxe Accounting Link, for custom reporting and linking billing and payment data to popular general ledger programs; Timeslips Speller, for checking spelling on data entry, bills, and reports; and Timeslips Remote, for portable and non-network users to enter slips for later transfer into a centralized Timeslips system. The program is also available for DOS and the Macintosh; the Windows version includes the DOS-based TSTimer program in addition to the Windows version, if needed. Timeslips Corporation states that the program has been tested and runs fine under Windows 95.

Whether you are a small business, individual consultant, or large firm with many employees on the road and in the office, the excellent range of Timeslips offerings are the best solution to your time and billing requirements, now and in the future.

INCREDIBLE IMAGE PAK 2000

a review by Ed Hoffman

Clipart is one of today’s more indispensable computer items. Whether you are creating stationery, newsletters, or reports, adding clipart images can certainly liven up an otherwise dull text file. This being the case, everyone who has a computer has a clipart collection of some type. Even if you don’t realize it, you’ve got it. Almost every word processor on the market today comes with a variety of clipart files. Likewise, if you have a label making program, drawing program or spreadsheet, you’ll have even more clipart.

There is however, a downside to this clipart phenomena. It seems, no matter how much you have, you never have just the right image for your current project. Even worse, the more you use clipart, the more you’ll expect from your images. When you start using clipart, virtually anything will do. But, as you become more accustomed to adding these images to your documents, you’ll become quite discerning in your selection. Like a connoisseur of fine wine, you’ll only add those images to your collection that are truly quality graphics.

Soon after I reached this stage in my understanding of clipart I began to seek out only high quality graphics. This is when I first encountered clipart from the T/Maker Company. The images offered by this company are some of the better, high quality, clipart images available for your computer. These images are available in several collections covering a range of general topics. Among these collections is the Incredible Image Pak 2000. This collection is available on a CD and contains over 2000 images in the CGM format. These files cover a considerable range of topics and contain images suitable for a wide array of different requirements. From animal clipart to zodiac images, this CD has clipart you’ll be sure to use for many different publications. In addition to the clipart, the CD also includes 40 Bitstream fonts. The images and fonts on this CD should certainly help you add more pizzazz to your future documents.

A file conversion utility is also furnished on the CD to allow you to convert the CGM images to just about any other format you may need. This utility will convert the CGM files to WMF, EPS, PCX, TIF, and a few other application specific formats. Between the export capabilities of this utility and the import features of most applications, virtually any program capable of using graphics should be able to handle these images.

Rather than including a printed album of all the clipart images, the Incredible Image Pak 2000 collection comes with a unique thumbnail viewer called the Power Album. This viewer utility uses the metaphor of a photo album and shows all the clipart images in a series of individual thumbnails in a variety of different categories. The complete collection is categorized and stored in an IMAGEPAK.ALB file on the CD. To find an image you can either look through the Power Album or use the Find feature of the program. Each image also has a description assigned to it so the search is rather easy. For example, if you are preparing a document where you need winter images you can simply click on the Edit - Find menu option, or the Ctrl-F hotkeys, and the Find dialog box appears. Type in SNOW and each image dealing with snow will be highlighted. To search through the images, all you need to do is click on the find next option until you find the image you want.

If you would like to see a larger view of the image, a simple click on the  Picture - Display menu option or the Ctrl-F hotkeys, instantly shows an enlarged view of the image. The Power Album utility may also be used to help you organize your existing clipart collections as well. Here you simply setup your own albums with the categories you want. The utility will automatically import and display your images in a series of different thumbnail views.

Regardless of the types of documents you create, almost certainly there are images in this collection that you’ll find useful. And, with the Power Album, you’ll be able to sort, store, categorize, and search for your images much more easily.

Ed often says you can’t be too rich, too thin, or have too much clipart. He seems to only be in danger of brushing up against the final criterion.


MEDIA MOUSE

a review by Bob Gollihur

Is your mouse too quiet? Is your sound card feeling lonely? Perk up the aural atmosphere in your computer room with Media Mouse. This brightly packaged mouse comes with a series of bonus programs to liven up your life in the form of two mouse accessory programs and three CD ROMs.

The two-button mouse itself is of the soapbar type, and of good quality, with the color Media Mouse logotype is stenciled on its back. It was a perfect replacement for my Microsoft mouse, taking the current drivers in stride. But, hey, that’s not why you buy a product called Media Mouse, is it?

Melody Mouse is the noisy part of the equation, a program provided on 3.5" disk. It offers two basic selections: Melody Mouse or Sound Wall. The first plays one of a series of sounds as you move your mouse. You can set the number of pixels necessary for the sound to be called, and there are three sets of wave files from which to select. They ranged from percussive to general sound effects. While fun, it could get on your nerves after a while, but I suspect it’s more for the youth than this old computer curmudgeon. Sound Wall was more my speed. You select from Do-Re-Mi or The Zoo, and different sounds play as your cursor meets various points on the walls of your screen. Do-Re-Mi allows you to play nearly a two octave scale, and The Zoo is replete with various effects and animal noises. Of course, if you had been a spectator, you would have witnessed my painful attempts at a few songs.

Win-Cursor, a cursor utility, is the other program provided on disk. It offers the choice of three cursor sizes along with white, black, or transparent states, selectable from a new entry in Control Panel. The cursor can also be oriented from the left or right, and optionally flash when you hold a mouse button down.

Finally, three very fine CD ROMs are included in the package, presenting a nice range of types of recreational PC activities:

Greatest Paper Airplanes, an award-winning shareware program, is here in its full version glory. The program was originally reviewed in the Shareware Edition, Issue 44 (WOLRS44.ZIP), and is a wondrous and fascinating system for viewing and actually creating amazing paper airplanes, and a good learning tool as well. It’s a Windows program with great animation that truly captures the imagination.

Pinball Crystal Calibury is one of the leading 3-D animated pinball games, and is another award-winner. The sound and animation of this game has got to be seen to be believed.

Mega Race is a great shoot-em-up bang-bang on wheels, quick reflex game. It’s introduced by an animated, intentionally obnoxious game show host, taking the format of a virtual reality television game; politically-correct artificial violence, I presume. A double-speed CD ROM is required to keep up with this fast-moving, exciting game.

Media Mouse is a good, solid mouse with a great bundle of entertaining CD ROMs. While not yet available on retail shelves at press time, the system can be ordered directly from Media Depot and selected mail order vendors (PC Zone 800-258-2088; PC Mall 800-555-4204).

IMAGEREADER GS SCANNER

a review by Bob Gollihur

Everbody and their brother (and sister) is coming out with their version of one the newest and perhaps handiest SOHO (Small Office - Home Office) tool — the page scanner. These little devices are a great idea — compact and multifunctional. I want one. Only most the ones I’ve seen very nearly approach the price of a full size color scanner. Until now.

The new ImageReader GS Scanner is a great bargain, and a great scanner! Newly released from Info Products, the scanner, graphics tablet, and pointing device people, it is sure to catch the attention of the burgeoning SOHO market. It’s compact, inexpensive, easy to use, and comes with two great bundles of software.

If you haven’t seen this revolution coming, it’s time to back up and explain. Paper is the great curse, organization has always been a problem, and scanning used to mean a large and expensive device. With the plummet in hard drive prices, disk space may turn out to be the least expensive file cabinet ever invented! The new generation of desktop, page-feed scanners can help productivity and cut costs in many ways. First, they’re small and quick — not flashy color units, but gray scale, made for utility. They can be applied to a wide variety of utilitarian purposes, depending on your need. In a SOHO situation with a shoestring budget and even smaller workspace, they can be an inexpensive solution to many problems. Ponder some of the following potential applications:

Scan documents to send via your fax card, avoiding the cost and space that a regular fax unit takes.

Scan in photos, illustrations, charts, and whatever else you can feed, for use in a publication or to annotate a letter or proposal.

Scan in letters or memos for archiving, as images.

Scan in pages and use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert it into copy for use in other communications or publications.

Make a photocopy without a photocopy machine: scan, then print the capture out on your laser or inkjet.

Scan in newspaper articles or other documents, run them through an OCR engine and e-mail them to collegues.

Scan business card images to create an electronic rolodex.

The ImageReader GS Scanner is roughly a foot wide, two and a half inches deep, and three and a half inches high. If you can’t find a space for that, your desk is worse than mine, and that’s saying something. Pages are scanned straight through, so there’s no twisting or turning and minimal potential for jams. This unit is good for light copy paper through card stock.

The Info folks did a wonderful job of engineering installation. There’s an idiot-proof step-by-step install that begins with a piece of software from Touchstone (of Check-It fame) that looks at your system to detect addresses in use. The final result is an image of the tiny 8-bit card that comes with the scanner that shows you how to set the jumpers to an address that’s not in use. No IRQ is necessary. I’ve installed many peripherals in my day, and this is the first card with jumpers that provided me with a piece of software to detect an address and provided a convenient illustration to set the card. Maybe if others had followed this example, we all wouldn’t have been so excited about the arrival of plug and play.

The ImageReader GS Scanner has its own interface card, not being a burden and hanging off your parallel port like similar units. A six-foot, 25 pin cable is provided, and it’s the only cable required for operation. The unit gets its power from your PC through the interface cable and therefore doesn’t require a separate AC adaptor and additional trailing wire.

This installation routine also adds drivers to your system and sets it up for a diagnostic run after a restart. The ImageReader GS Scanner is twain-compliant, which means that any application that works with the Twain standard, and indeed there are many, can work directly with the unit. This is important, since you will find virtually every decent graphics program is also twain compliant, as is every OCR program of repute. The interface provided is clear and easy to use, so you can set the scanner for anything from line art to 256 color grayscale, in sizes up to 8.5x14 inches, and using a sliding scale of up to 800 dpi. You may note that the projected image file size is also shown.

Following your restart, Info recommends you install the software that comes with your unit. The ImageReader GS Scanner is	 bundled in two ways.

We sampled the ImageReader GS Personal Office™ (SF2HPO) system that included Personal PageKeeper document imaging software from Caere and Ulead Systems’ Image Pals 2 GO! image editing software. Each are very sophisticated and fully-featured versions of very impressive software; I’m sure you’ve seen them on the retail shelves. The seven installation disks of the PageKeeper software brings you the ability to catalog images and files of all types, and includes OCR and support for an existing fax modem and software. Image Pals 2 GO! is an excellent graphics program with all the bells and whistles you might expect. Each installed smoothly, and are not skimpy versions, complete with large manuals that explain their use with the scanner. You will be impressed.

A second bundle, the ImageReader GS™ (SF2HGS) includes iPhotoPlus image editing software and the Recognita Plus OCR package. We did not evaluate this software, but can see this package as an economical alternative for those not needing the features in Image Pals 2GO! and PageKeeper.

We used the ImageReader GS Scanner with two other major graphics programs and a leading OCR program with excellent results. The speed, at lower resolutions, at which documents are fed through the unit is impressive. The unit senses a document as you insert it, advancing the leading edge. Once you engage the scan, it feeds automatically and pauses if necessary, as may be the case for higher resolution scans.

The ImageReader GS Scanner brings a great deal of versatility and wide range of practical uses for a low price.

WORD PERFECT 6.X FOR WINDOWS MACROS

a review by Steven Justice

Let me be frank. If you use WordPerfect 6.1, 6.0a, or (heaven forbid) 6.0 for Windows--even if you have no intention ever of writing a macro--you could not spend a better $40 than for Gordon McComb’s WordPerfect 6.x for Windows Macros. You may recognize McComb’s name: he’s written wonderful books on older versions of WordPerfect, writes the most useful column for WordPerfect for Windows Magazine, and is a pleasant and helpful resource on the CompuServe WordPerfect Users’ forum.

I am, in a modest sort of way, the perfect reviewer for this book, because I’ve never studied programming, and never comprehensively learned any language, but have just scratched around in application macro languages enough to make my applications a little more what I want them to be. All my learning has been from books, and I can think of only one book as helpful, well-organized. clear, and meaty as this one: Guy Gallo’s book on Word for Windows 2.0 macros, Take Word for Windows to the Edge. Like Gallo’s book, McComb’s takes you seriously, without the corny jokes and wacky icons with which other books patronize their readers, and it is carefully planned in a way that makes it genuinely easy for a relatively interested user to learn how to write macros. After a very brief introduction to the structure of the language, it introduces you decisively and clearly to the programming commands--a very canny decision, it quickly turns out, because those are the commands you will deal with most. The presentation of examples and samples is done so clearly that (as, again, in Gallo’s book) you actually become interested, and begin to realize and enjoy the kind of puzzle that application programming consists of.

Probably the most impressive part of this book, by comparison with others like it, is that the author has taken the time to think about the things which beginners need to know but which are such second nature to programmers that no one thinks to tell them. I’d always wondered, vaguely, about why most languages provide both “While” and “Until” structures, since they are so nearly identical: a single sentence in McComb’s book provoked the kind of “aha!” experience that means I will always know which structure to try first.

I said at the beginning that even those WordPerfect users who intend never to write a macro would find this book a good buy. There are two reasons for that. The first is that the book comes with a diskette that contains dozens of useful macros, from very simple ones, allowing you quickly to delete a defined piece of text, or apply the hidden attribute, for example, to elegant and complex ones, like a whole smorgasbord of useful calendars. They are instructive models for the macro writer, but they are also nimble and elegant solutions for ordinary users. The second reason is that the book itself may change your mind and convince you that macro writing is less daunting and more rewarding than it might look.

In addition to the 400+ pages of printed text, the diskette also contains several additional chapters in Windows Help (HLP) format, including a revelatory one on “Using WordPerfect as a Database.” The diskette also contains functions and procedures to use in writing your own macros. There is also a chapter on using PerfectScript, WordPerfect/Novell’s cross-application macro facility; as far as I know, this is the only publicly available documentation on PerfectScript.

There’s one more thing to be said about this book. It is self-published (in a convenient format, by the way). I spoke briefly to the author; he told me that he was publishing this book himself because conventional wisdom among publishers says that only books with titles like WordPerfect for Stupid People will sell, and that there is no market for books that will help experienced users learn to use their computers more productively. This is a good chance to prove conventional wisdom wrong, and to get yourself a first-rate bargain in the process.

Wild Tiles!!
WILD TILES!! ART TEXTURES

a review by Bob Gollihur

This disc could not have a better title, except perhaps Many Extraordinary Wild Tiles!! If you are a wallpaper fan or, as I, see some application as backgrounds for a unique World Wide Web page, read on.

You can find examples of the author’s work within the Visual Feast Wallpaper  shareware file mentioned in Wolly’s Shareware Briefs column this month. It was the quality of the samples contained in that file that caught my attention.

Wild Tiles!! is a CD ROM packed with a ton of superior artwork. Directories named for their contents: textures, colors, tapestry, patchwork, geometrics, high fashion, wavy, color, fancy, mineral, soft, symmetry, contain more images than you could possibly use. Wild Tiles describes the effects as “plaids, gingham, calico, crinkled silk, liquid satin, and textiles; metallic gold, silver, bronze, copper; complex multicolor patterns; spots, drops, stripes, and geometrics; semi-precious and surrealistic minerals; plus indescribable dazzling designs too numerous to mention.” And that’s not hype, that’s just a good shot at a verbal taste. Images are one inch square and 300 dpi, and must be seen to be appreciated. The graphic below can give you some idea, but the actual files are in their full and glorious 256 colors, not dithered to 16 colors as they were here for the purposes of illustration.

a small sampling dithered to 16 colors (courtesy of Paint Shop Pro’s browser)

The main collection is provided in three formats: TIF, TGA, and BMP. There are other images included as well, including 50 incredible PCX greyscale frames and borders, and hundreds of BMP wallpaper files. The texture subdirectories include 1,950 designs alone.

Thoughtfully included is a variety of related shareware and freeware files and programs. You’ll find the popular Thumbs Plus+ (reviewed in Issue 99), Fractal Graphics, Neopaint, a wallpaper program, games, a screen saver, and much more.

Keep in mind that Wild Tiles!! is not only wild. It is also very tasteful, with some great textures and colors that are suitable for classy applications. Then there are some very wild images whose mainstream application is questionable, but they are fun to look at!

If you are looking for some exceptional artwork for populating a World Wide Web site, need some great backgrounds for a DTP project, want to brighten up a multimedia presentation, or just want to exceed the loudmouth in the next cubicle’s wallpaper to the max, grab the incredible bargain that Wild Tiles!! represents. For a sample of these extraordinary tiles, download the shareware file VFSTA.ZIP.

Bob worries that some of the truly wild tiles from this CD could get into the wrong hands — there are enough sites on the Web that deserve a ticket from the Bad Taste Police already. Self-restraint is suggested, along with the use of only the most tasteful tiles!

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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