APPLEWORKS ENTHUSIAST (AWE)
= TAWUG is still very active. I have duplicated over 700 :
8disks this month alone (and December is not over). I'm 9
7hoping that things settle down a little so I can get a ?
=chance to try out some of my new programs (MouseTalk) and do :
8all my upgrades to AppleWorks with AutoWorks, Checkmate ;
9software, and Pinpoint. Hopefully I can do some of this
over the holiday break.
= I have had to make a few changes in the way TAWUG works =
;lately, just to try to preserve my sanity. First, is that @
>we are pushing the regional rep program as much as possible. =
;The regional reps are people who have agreed to distribute ;
9disks in their immediate areas. Generally, this happens >
<through a local user group, but not always. I will include =
;a list of the current regional reps below. Second, I have =
;stopped taking advance orders for template disks. I can't >
<guarantee any timeline for when the next disk will be ready ?
=due to circumstances beyond my control (such as when members <
:send templates). Thus orders pile up and get unwieldy in <
:the small corner of the basement that I have taken over. ?
=Instead, if you want notification of the release of the next ?
=disk, send a SASE and I will mail it to you when the disk is ?
=ready. And third, TAWUG will no longer accept your disks on :
8which to copy templates. The reason for this is simply =
;time. I can copy 50 disks (100 sides) in under 20 minutes :
8using Locksmith 6.0 fast copy and my RAM card. To copy ;
9individual disks takes a lot more time. Also, with disk =
;orders, it often takes more time to package the disks than 9
7to copy them since I have to scrape off old stamps and >
<addresses. Since the charge is only $3 per disk, hopefully >
<this won't be a hardship to anyone. (The only exception to >
<disk copies will be individual disks sent with template for 7
TAWUG. Then I'll still copy a single template disk.)

MACROSE
C I would like to see more donations from members of macros for O
MAppleWorks, either using MacroWorks, Autoworks, or KeyPlayer. I think that P
Nthe concept of the macros is universal enough that they can be changed to run O
Mon any of the 3 programs. To get the ball rolling, here are a couple that I ;
use. I use AutoWorks, so that is the format they are in.
~S:<A-S><~D><RETURN><R><A-S><RETURN><~D><DOWN><RETURN><R>
MThis macro (closed apple/control/s) does an automatic save of a file to both P
Ndisk drives for backup purposes. (You do make backups of all important files O
Mdon't you.) I usually don't keep many backups, I can't afford to double my N
Lcollection of disks. However, I do keep 2 copies of the catalog/membership O
Mdisk and this is when I use this macro. I use this macro with my RAM card K
I(1 meg) but it can be used with 55K also. With the meg card, I load the P
Ndatabase functions into memory so I can use both disk drives for data disks. I
GThen the control/closed apple/s is saved. The macro saves to drive 2, N
Lchanges the disk drive I can use (~d is a macro supplied with AutoWorks to O
Mchange disk drive), saves to current drive, changes disk drive back to 2 and J
Hresumes where I left off. If you only have 55K, when you start a save, P
NAppleWorks goes to the program disk before it starts to save the first time. O
MAfter it accesses the program disk, put the 2nd data disk into drive 1 while P
Nprogram is saving to drive 2. After the save is made to drive 1, replace the
program disk.
~E:<ESC>4<RETURN><RETURN><A-Q><RETURN>
MThis macro is used all the time to review new TAWUG files. What it does is O
Mto delete the file from the desktop and then select the next file. This way P
Nwhen I have reviewed all the desktop files, I have a clean desktop onto which
I can load a new set.
C If you are not familiar with Robert Eriscon's reference book, N
AppleWorks: Tips and Techniques
, published by Sybex, you should be. This N
Lbook contains lots of tips, ideas, and shortcuts for AppleWorks. Some will N
Lseem to be old hat, but I'm sure you will find some new ideas. If you have P
Nthis book, or after you buy it, then you need his template disk. It contains N
Lupdate notes concerning the book, as well as the templates that he uses for O
Mreference in the book. In addition, there are 4 files of macros the he uses J
Hwith AppleWorks. This disk is copyrighted, so I can't share any of the P
Ninformation with you. However, the cost is only $12 and once you pay for it, M
Kyou can share it with 2 friends. (Robert even includes 2 extra labels for :
the disks you give to friends). You can order it from:
