AppleWorks Enthusiast
= TAWUG is releasing 3 disks at the same time this month, >
<57/58, 59/60/ and 61/62. I will also be releasing the next ?
=3 1/2" disk 56..60. Since there are 3 disks at once, I will 1
just have one AWE column for all three disks.
< We have several interesting things this month. Dwight ;
9Stewart, a photographer, has sent us a disk side full of <
:photography - business- templates. They include a lot of <
:general business templates that he uses in his business. >
<They are on disk 61/62. Richard Marchiafava has several of =
;his "Advisor" files, including one to change the cursor in ?
=AppleWorks to any ASCII character. I am currently following >
<a solid apple cursor instead of the underline cursor. It's
a lot of fun.
= There are a lot of reviews also. There are several new ?
=things coming out and I hope you enjoy them. Keep your eyes >
<open for Beagle Bros. new Time-Out software. I am supposed >
<to get review copies from Beagle Bros. shortly. Will write :
8up the reviews as soon as I can. I have also written a >
<couple of reviews for A+ Magazine. They should be out in a >
<month or so. They are on Printrix, a "personal typsetting" =
;type software. It takes AppleWorks files and does amazing 9
7things with them. There is also a review of Zipfiles, ?
=templates that can be used as desktop accessories. Since A+ ?
=is going to publish the reviews, I can't use them. However, =
;I modified the reviews for TAWUG and you will find them on
disk 62.
: With the release of these disks, we have used up our =
;backlog of contributions. In order to keep going, we need >
more. Please send your patchs, reviews, information, etc.
= There has been one major change with the issue of these >
<disks. The TAWUG catalog won't fit on the same disk as the >
<members. The member listing was also about to overflow its =
;side. So from now on there will be separate disks for the ?
=catalog and membership. I have left the listing of regional 9
7reps on both disks, so that new members that order the =
;catlog will also get a listing of the regional reps. Even <
:though the membership file is currently one sided, I will :
8still have to charge $3 for the disk, since most of the >
<expenses stay the same. Eventually it will fill up. Maybe :
8I will put the bibliography file back on the membership ?
=disk. What do you think? You'll find a couple of different $
bibliography files on these disks.
: What do you think about the membership files? Up to 9
7now, we have sent them to anyone with $3. Should that <
:continue? I personally don't think I am getting any junk <
:mail from this particular list. I had hoped that members ;
9would use the list to contact others in their area or to <
:correspond with other members with similar interests. Is 9
anyone doing this? I'd like to get feed back from you.
9 I know that I have mentioned this before, but it is ?
=worth repeating. I used to accept advanced orders for TAWUG <
:disks so members could keep current. But that became too >
<much of a hassle trying to keep an account of all the money >
<and disks, so I stopped it. However, if you'd like to keep ?
=current, just send a SASE. When a new disk is ready, I will <
:send you a printout of the catalog and a new order form. =
;Then with your order, just include a new SASE for the next <
:disk. This keeps you current and isn't much of a problem
for me to keep track of.
= I see by today's mail that The Main Menu has folded. I <
:always felt that they blew it from the start by being too >
<expensive and then not being able to decide on a price. It <
:has been taken over by The Exclusive Reference editor who =
;bought out Q-Mar. The newsletter is now called AppleWorks =
;Journal, but it looks exactly like the Exclusive Reference ;
9newsletter. I have had a subscription to both, but feel 7
5that it is over priced. Also, Home and School Works :
8newsletter has changed it name to The Works. (And with <
:Software Touch people buying out Beagle Bros. maybe it is 5
3something in the air.) The Works is a nice little 9
7newsletter for teachers and other users and only costs ?
=$19.95. For more information, write P.O. Box 72; Leetsdale,
PA. 15056.
8 Keep up the good work with AppleWorks. I'm seeing =
;rumors of upgrades to AppleWorks again - all kinds of wild <
:rumors. My guess is that any fancy changes to AppleWorks =
;(mouse enhancements, spelling checkers, etc.) will be //GS <
:only because of the memory and speed changes. I'm really >
<looking forward to the Time-Out series. This is one of the 9
7most exciting changes to AppleWorks in a while. It is >
<expensive, but if it all works according to plan, it should
be worth it.
Until next time.
