Dear Jim:
JHave written to several Magazines requesting indexes of past issues. When H
Freceived I will start the DB file on articles of possible interest to M
Kmembers. Naturally the article's title may not be a perfect indicator but N
Lhopefully we can stimulate other members to comment. I will concentrate on L
J"A+" and with luck others will work on the remainder. The file for this P
Npurpose is on this disk and is named A.PLUS.MAG.INDX. Others can use it with M
Kup to six characters replacing "A.PLUS", e.g. COMPUT or PERCOM for COMPUTE J
Hand PERSONAL COMPUTING respectively.
Most of the potentially relavent
magazines follow:
A+
NOTE:
This list may be incomplete, H
A+ Disk may contain irrelavent magazines, H
APPLE II: The Review and could easily have some which 7
II COMPUTING no longer exist. &

KIf you have agreed with the effort to expand information on members please L
Jcontinue to run the following form. I've modified it slightly to be more O
Mspecific in the "interests" areas. Find a file named TAWUG.MEMB.REV on this O
Mdisk. It will accept most of the info on your TAWUG.MEMBERS file however it E
is modified to contain the expanded features previously discussed.
Also find several other areas discussed.

Expand Membership List
GIn reviewing the list of TAWUG Members it seems we all could profit by N
Lknowing more about each other's interests, etc. This would help to foster K
Imore direct correspondence, etc. Therefore somewhat presumptuously I am 6
volunteering to help Jim in this regard as follows:
1. Request each Member print out, fill-in, and mail me the
following form. C
2. I will augment Jim's current member list at least bi-weekly !
at first and then monthly. C
3. The changed files will be found on new disks as you receive
them /
4. Many Thanks to all who have responded!! I
5. When a record is updated you will find that date indicated by your
name. C

AppleWorks Exclusive Reference:The Information Newsletter for
AppleWork's Users.
NQ-mar Group of San Diego,CA is publishing a newsletter with above title. This K
I10 page document for $60.00 (48.00 to "Charter Members") is at present a M
ripoff!!!
Spelling and formula errors, wasted space (too much "white"), M
Kand too much space devoted to rather common knowledge are but a few of the L
Jdeficiencies. One saving grace is you can get the first issue on a trial O
Mbasis then cancel the subscription in not satisfied. For the $48.00 one can L
Jsubscribe to A+ and buy two excellent AppleWorks references or some other M
Kcomparable combination and be immeasurably better off. For those who will
try anything write to:

BusinessWorks by Manzanita Software Systems
Received literature on several programs offered by Manzanita. They are:
BusinessWorks
The Business Accountant )
The Advanced Business Accountant
GENERAL COMMENT.
An impressive endorsement of this company and its K
Iproducts appeared in the April 85 InfoWorld. They specifically reviewed K
I"The
Advanced Business Accountant" and raved about it. From reading the L
Jreview I am led to induce the other products are also very good. The bad O
Mnews is that both BusinessWorks And the Advanced Accountant Packages require O
Hard Disks or possibly two of the new 3.5 inch Uni-Disks. The good news is:
a. BusinessWorks is compatible with AppleWorks <
b. The Business Accountant only requires AIIe or IIc 8
w/128K, Two Drives, DOS 3.3, and 80 col card. +
c. They have Demo disks for $5-$10.
Each system is of course self integrating with following Sub systems:
Price Range +
General Ledger 295-395 +
Accounts Payable 295-395 +
Accounts Receivable 295-395 +
Payroll 345-445 +
Inventory Control 295-395
MFor many small businesses I'm fairly sure a General Ledger and Payroll would E
suffice. I'm writing to get more specific information especially:
a. Will some parts of BusinessWorks operate on the more readily #
available 128K Systems? E
b. Do they Have any plans to scale the BusinessWorks package I
down somewhat to be more compatible with small-small business
Equipment?
For those who might be interested write them for brochures at:

WEDDING DECREE
DAs a token to married couples (new or old) I've placed a file named P
NWEDDING.DECREE on this input. In our Catering Business we give framed copies P
Nprinted on a parchment type paper to the "Newly Weds" and their parents. The P
Ncouple's names and the required signatures are done in calligraphy. A friend P
Npassed the idea along and we made certain modifications. I'm not sure of the O
Moriginal source. In using this for your friends/relatives you and they will
have some fun! >

Book List
MIn an effort to continue the information "parade" for members I'm collecting I
Gbibliographic data on AppleWorks Books in print. I own a few and will P
Nattempt reviews in future submissions. One which should be fabulous is TAWUG M
Kmember Robert Ericson's new book from Sybex having to do with Notes, Tips, O
MTrick's for AppleWorks or a similar title. If it comes close to the quality N
Lof his "NOTES newsletter" we should have a definative handbook putting most H
of the others to shame. See the DB file "AW.BOOKS.LIST for starters.

Comments to George Falk et al
Dear George:
NWelcome to TAWUG. Enjoyed your contributions and look forward to many more. P
NI have only recently contributed to Jim's Willis' disks however have a number :
of offerings in his hands which should be on disk soon.
NMy immediate plans involve some type of RAM and storage capacity increases to I
Ga rather overworked AIIe w/128K, 2-5.25 in drives, and an EPSON FX-100 H
Fprinter. SIDER is at $595 through December which has accelerated the
decision date.
LAs I read your comments it appears SIDER with Pro-Copy has worked very well P
Nfor you. I have 150+ AppleWorks disks and have an uneasy feeling that trying I
Gto put them on a hard disk would involve extensive reorganization with M
KDirectories et al. I also use STATE-OF-THE ART'S accounting modules in my P
Nbusiness. The SIDER ad mentions "partitioning" as a way to seperate packages F
Dwith different operating systems, e.g. DOS 3.3 and ProDOS. In your N
Lexperience has this feature allowed you to have adequate seperation and has N
Lthe partitioning caused any problems? I have several other questions which 0
seem to be within the grasp of your comments:
Is it possible to attach SIDER and retain both disk #
drives for alternate usage?
How onerous are the backup requirements using a B
hard disk? I see where many recommend having tape backup !
to save time.
Comments?
JThe "Printer ON & Printer OFF" recommendation for an AppleWorks change is J
Hwell made. It has been announced that Lissner is working on AppleWorks O
Mrevisions and I have a set of "dream" changes I would love to see him make. L
JOne drawback in changing this marvelous piece of software seems to be the J
Hlimited RAM and storage for a majority of users including yours truly. N
LAssuming I had 256-512K RAM and either 2 - 3.5 in Uni-Disks or a hard disk, 1
my current gross specifications would include:
1. Increase the power of the Spreadsheet as a real ?
competitor to the Lotus and SuperCalc 3a offerings. =
More math functions, e.g. LOG/LN, Trig functions, =
Macros, Statistics functions, larger matrix, etc. B
Also would add something like "Auditor" and "Widesheet"
or "Sideways."
2. I use MegaWorks but want AW to have a Mailmerge and %
Spelling Checker built-in.
3. Add a Graphics segment and something like PrintShop. ?
Have the Screen and Color Enhancer features for high
resolution.
4. Add a housekeeping mode (similar to "Pinpoint")
with:
a. Timeclock
b. Notepad ,
c. Calculator for WordProcessor "
d. Envelope Addresser
e. Graphmerge %
f. Communications Window
g. Typewriter :
h. ToolKit for writing individualized DeskTop
accessories. $
i. Appointment Calender
5. Make the integrations now requiring "printing to ;
disk" (SS to DB and vice versa) less cumbersome. >
Also have these "other" files appear fully labeled C
on the disk file listings without needing to go through *
the "other activities" feature.
KAdmittedly with another month of "what if" and "why not" dreaming the list M
Kwould expand. I'm sure others would improve the list and maybe we can get
some input.
LIf you can find time for some advise in the "storage device" area I will be
indebted. @
