Lets see.. higher please.. good. I’m glad that I’m not the only one. I guess that’s because I grew up with Star Trek and Star Wars; I’ve always been enamored with the concept of space flight and, more importantly, SPACE COMBAT. I guess it’s the idea of flying around in a place as big as space that gets to me, but who wouldn’t enjoy piloting a ship armed to the teeth with guided nuclear missiles, high-tech lasers, and ultra-sensitive radar?

Warning! This article is for Quarkaholics only. The definition of that word means Quark users who want their work to go faster and easier. This is another of my articles on XTensions. Anybody who has known me for very long knows how irritated I’ve been with one aspect of Quark’s style sheets. Here’s the scenario- you receive a text file in MacWrite or MS Word format. The writer has italicized the names of books, and emboldened other important words. When you import this file into XPress and apply a style sheet, all of the italic and bold passages (and anything else with local formatting) reverts to plain text! Read on..

One of the most powerful aspects of today’s page layout pro- grams is style sheets. Even some word processors have them. A style sheet lets you define a set of characteristics for text: font, size, justification, leading, hyphenation specifications, space before and after paragraphs, and much more. In fact, just about any aspect of text can be specified in a style sheet. After creating several style sheets—body, headlines, subheads, by-lines, etc.— they can be applied to paragraphs of text. Once you’ve created them, style sheets can really speed up your work. Find out more!

Word Version 5.1a is the latest in a number of recent upgrades for the Macintosh industry standard word processing program. When Word 5.0 was released recently, the trade press suggested that the upgrade was probably not worth it’s $129 list price, but it did offer editable mathematical equations, which are a boon to the technical writer, and the now necessary built-in drawing module. The former is a version of Design Science’s MathType 3.11, which is also an industry standard and a very fine equation editor, while the latter is so fundamental and rudimentary as to be all but useless except for the most elementary sketches.

The collection has been cataloged with several popular utilities, including Aldus Fetch, Multi-Ad Search, Mariah, and PictureBase. The actual graphic files are in MacPaint format (although PCX and TIF files are included for IBM users). We tested the collection with Fetch, but there is a special limited version of Mariah included on the disk for those who do not already own one of the cataloging utilities. Find out more.

When I heard that Reality’s Wealthbuilder 2.0 by Money Magazine had just been released, I was eager to check it out. I wasn’t disappointed. Longtime readers of Mac Monitor may recall reviews of three excellent financial management programs - Managing Your Money 4.0, Quicken, and MacMoney. Wealthbuilder picks up where those three leave off. Managing Your Money goes beyond the other two in that it can manage and track investments via a portfolio manager, project future insurance and retirement needs, do budget analysis, as well and perform several other useful functions, but even it pales in comparison with Wealthbuilder as a full service, long-range financ. manager Name = Viva Review.pdf.sit Path = AMUG CD2:Files II:Mugs:Georgia:SMUG:Acrobat Files:Viva Review.pdf.sit Size: 15K Date: 6/13/94 Version: pdf Description: Viva Review.pdf - Face Up! - What’s New in Digital Typography. Viva is Adobe’s first multiple master typeface designed especially for display use. If you’ve missed out on the news, multiple master technology is an enhancement of Adobe’s Type 1 font technology, based on the idea of interpo- lation. This technology allows typefaces to be customized along several axes - weight, width, optical size, and style. Instead of the normal set of four or six variations, a multiple master face can be adjusted by the user to yield an almost infinite number of variations. Read more of this review!

You’ve no doubt heard of computer viruses and Trojan horses. These are programs which can “infect” your computer and do various sorts of damage, up to and including erasing the entire contents of your hard drive. It’s natural to be at least a little para- noid about the subject. You can take some solace in the fact that there are only 17 known Macintosh viruses, according to a MacWEEK report, although there have been about 3,000 found in the DOS world. Further, a number of the Mac viruses are relatively benign, at worst caus- ing system crashes. Nevertheless, it’s wise to protect yourself. It’s not only wise, it’s easy, too.

Virtual Reality is an up and coming concept for personal computers these days. Once reserved for the biggest mainframes, Virtual Reality is available now at home and business computing levels due to the explosion of desktop power. The basic idea is to create models of reality in three dimensions and to move through and view this virtual world. A model might be as simple as your living room or as complicated as the inside of an automobile engine. Virtus Corporation is known in the Macintosh world for its professional 3-D visualization application, WalkThrough Pro. Now they have released Virtus VR, a scaled-down version for creating simpler 3-D worlds.

Having been a fan of SoundMaster for many years, I am no stranger to frivolous, do-nothing software. I’d still be using AfterDark if it weren’t for the increased number of bombs and freeze-ups that have always appeared with its presence on my Macintosh. I have also avoided the many amusing shareware add-ons that are available because of an irrational fear of INIT conflicts, and because most of them just seem too downright silly— even for me. Therefore I was interested to hear about a newly released commercial product called Underware which is designed to re-establish the Macintosh’s historic dominance in the delightfully amusing and fun category.

It is based on the hand lettering of Seattle archi- tect and prolific author Francis D. K. Ching. Ching’s publications in the field of building design and drawing are well known, and his lettering style was already widely emulated in his profession. Adobe chose the name for the font from the Greek tekton, builder. The company describes the original font as handsome and functional. I couldn’t agree more, but I would add quietly stylish, eminently readable, open, inviting, and pleasing to the eye. I have used Tekton for several years for my Georgia Southern day-by-day course syllabi. Find out more!

Snap Mail is like Flash but different and in some ways better. Our office has five linked computers, and we use Snap Mail constantly.

Virtual reality has been a presence in science fiction for a num- ber of years, from Heinlien’s Waldo to the cyberspace in William Goldman’s Neuromancer. Star Trek’s Holodeck is an optimistic example (and “The Lawnmower Man” is a foolish example) of computer technology creating a believable alternate environment for humans to move about and work in. Notwithstanding these fictional accounts, instances of virtual reality are being created today, and Silicon Mirage charts its boundaries in today’s scientific laboratories.

It all began innocently enough with a couple of games of Space Invaders at a restaurant, back in the fall of 1980. We had so much fun that we decided to buy an Atari game machine for our teenaged daughter’s upcoming birthday. Leslie was out of town that day, so we we thought we’d try it out before she got home, and opened the box and started playing. When she got home nine hours later, we were still playing. Some surprise — her birthday wasn’t for another week. We suffered constantly from “Space Invaders’ Wrist” (remember that affliction?), but that didn’t slow down our purchases of every game made for the thing.

RAM Doubler is like magic. (White magic, of course.) It was one of the hits of MacWorld Expo when it was introduced there a short time ago. We understand that it sold 6,000 copies there on the day it was introduced. Simply install this extension on your Mac, and you suddenly have twice the RAM (Random Access Memory) as before. If you had 8MB, you’ll get 16MB. A 5MB Mac will acts as if it has 10MB. It works. RAM Doubler works by using those parts of your RAM that aren’t busy doing other things; it uses your Mac’s memory more efficiently than the Mac does by itself. It’s sort of like Apple’s Virtual Memory, except that it’s more efficient.

I actually like anything Sharon Zardetto Aker, she is thorough, clear, easy to read, honest, etc., and she has a sense of humor—at least I hope she does. I infer that she fell out with the Macintosh Bible folks, and I think that the fourth edition of that book has suffered from her absence. I do not know previous examples of Wolfson’s writing, but, if he has the good sense to work with Aker, that is recommendation enough for me. PowerBook Companion reaffirms my response to Aker’s work.

If you’re despairing over the end of the saga, fear not; LucasArts has created a nifty interactive Mac game starring the infamous Dr. Jones.

Can you tell if your floppy disk drive is working properly? It can be pretty obvious if you are having trouble reading or writing your own disks. But there are subtle things that can go wrong too, such as read/write head misalignment. Since you are writing your own disks with the head misaligned, you can read them with the same misalignment; but you may not be able to read a disk written with the heads in proper alignment. Some believe that periodic head cleaning is as important in a floppy disk drive as with an audio tape recorder. A solution to these problems is Drive Tech from Micromat Computer Systems.

I found myself endlessly playing the game simply for the reward of hearing my Mac utter obscene squelching noises at the end of each level. I began to master the game with the hopes of increasing my bonus time to prolong the squelching noise. At some primitive level of being, I was amused. I’ve matured after playing the game for a month, and I can honestly say that I’m now equally addicted to the game’s adrenaline action. Playing Crystal Crazy allows you to do all the things Mom warned you not to - smash household items, fire heavy weapons, and blow up things. Read more about this great Casady and Greene game!
