Dear Jim:
LA+ Jan 85 Issue reported Version 1.3 of AppleWorks is available. Among the M
Knew features are it works with the new 3.5 UniDisk and the Apple II Memory $
Expansion Board. See your dealer.
MGeorge Falk sent some outstanding comments including a recommendation that a P
Nrevised membership list should include provision for COMPUSERVE and SOURCE ID K
INO. As I don't use a modem didn't think about this but
wholeheartedly
agree!
Therefore I have added these questions on info forms contained in O
Mprevious NETRO.NOTES. If you will again replace the versions of 85.A, 85.B, 8
and 85.C we can catch many people before they respond.
KOn this disk I am including TAWUG.MEMBERS.REV which hopefully does several
new things:
1. Includes an expanded format.@
2. Provides for AW interests and Professional Interests.L
J 3. Has four (4) SPARE categories for possible additions to the data .
without requiring recreation of all reports.<
4. Added provision for COMPUSERVE and SOURCE ID NO.s%
5. Added a comments Category.*
6. Now has six (6) Report Formats:
a. MEMBERS FULL DATA (For printing on 14' Printer in CI=17)L
b. MEMBERS SHORT LIST (CI=17 and provides key data for Print on
8.5" page).N
c. MEMBERS-LEFT HALF (CI=17 and takes the left 144 characters of
6.a)L
d. MEMBERS-RIGHT HALF (CI=17 and takes the right half of 6.a andH
provides for one Category overlap for easier pasting).'
e. MAILING LABELS (CI=12).+
f. MAILMERGE MEGAWORKS (CI=10)
F 7. Changed format of Single Record to make it easier to see all
information on a member.
8. Single Spaced.
LSeveral members (including Morton Levy) have commented on BRAC's SLALOM for N
Lsideways printing of DB and SS files. I have an EPSON FX-100 printer which P
Nis not specifically on their list however it would seem that if the RX-80 and N
LFX-80 models are supported, why not the 100? In any event I can't make the M
K____ thing work and BRAC doesn't answer mail very rapidly if at all. Does
anyone have advice?
GThis set of memos includes info on several AppleWorks related Software J
Hpackages which are rapidly being introduced. Looks good for AWUG! My L
Jcurrent list of such Software follows and I am developing a DB file which O
Mwill provide more detailed info all in one place. We can then add on as new B
ones are developed. Also would appreciate hearing about others:
*ADVANCED BUSINESS ACCOUNTANT MOUSEPAINT0
APPLEWORKS MAILING PROGRAM *PINPOINT/
BPI ACCOUNTING *QUICKEN3
*BUSINESSWORKS *REPORTWORKS.
DAZZLEDRAW *SLALOM2
*GRAPHIC SIMULATOR SPELLWORKS8
*GRAPHWORKS SENSIBLE SPELLER2
HABAMERGE *TAXWORKS 2
*MEGAWORKS WIDESPREAD
* Means comments made in this or previous NOTES.
MIn addition, Charles Rubin, a recognized AppleWorks expert, in his excellent L
Jbook APPLEWORKS p.9, not only reminds us that "Quickfile" by Apple can be M
Kused by AppleWorks but he indicates a partial list of programs that create -
DIF or ASCII files you can also use for AW:
ASCII DIF&
Apple Writer II DB Master&
Bank Street Writer FlashCalc&
dBASE II Framework0
dBASE III Graphics Department(
Final Word Lotus 1-2-3%
Format-II MAGICALC&
Homeword Multiplan(
Microsoft Word R:base 4000&
Multimate SuperCalc%
Personal Pearl Symphony%
PIE: Writer VisiCalc$
R:base 4000 VisiDex%
Spellbinder VisiFile%
VisiCalc VisiPlot
Word Juggler
KIf these aren't enough, Rubin points out that susequent to his publication (
date he assures us there will be more!
JWe do also know that numerous companies have and are developing templates P
Nprimarily in the AW DB and SS application areas. TAWUG has many and more are
on the way!

QUICKEN -- AW CHECKWRITER + Basic Finance System.
GA+ Dec 85 features an article by Ken Landis and he says "Quicken is an F
Dexcellent piece of software in all respects, and, with the power of B
@AppleWorks...it's more than good--it's indispensable...home and N
Lsmall-business checking software used to be too expensive, too hard to use, M
and too rigid, and it took too long to use. Quicken has changed all that."
GIn addition to printing checks you record deposits, void checks, split Q
Otransactions (for multiple credit card payments, breakdown of deposits, etc). K
IThis software ties in with AW spreadsheet. Each account uses a seperate H
Fdisk. Routine repetative checks are "memorized." All types of sort L
Jcapabilities promise to be of great assistance in analyzing expenditures,
preparing tax returns, etc.
Developed by Intuit of Palo Alto, CA (415 322-0590) List Price $79.00
NThey claim Quicken can spread expenses by Chart of Accounts; compute expenses J
Hby customer, job, and supplier; keep track of assets, liabilities, and P
Ninventories. Not a double entry system so very easy to use. Prints summaries M
Kand reports. Transfer of info to AW spreadsheets for updating budgets and
income statements, etc.

REPORTWORKS BY MEGAHAUS
HMegaHaus, developer of MegaWorks mailmerge/spelling checker (previously O
Mreviewed) has struck again! May be an overkill for many users as AW already I
allows a great deal of flexibility in designing reports, invoices, etc.
IHowever small businesses and any member who uses AW to contact, bill, or P
report to members of an organization could be missing some additional power.
NThis software can look into any AW DB or SS file (up to 10 other files in any M
KReport) and draw information. Numerous built-in functions allow automatic I
Gcalculations. Printer control enhancements allow some boldface and/or I
Gitalics not available for AW DB and SS reports. Max of 256 fields per
report.
HLists for $125.00 and not copy-protected. Available from some discount
houses for $69.00.E
