- Basically, Clarus the Dogcow is the mascot of Apple's Mac Developer
- Technical Support team. He started life in a Page Setup (Options) dialog
- box, but after DTS recieved a question as to whether he (she???) was a dog
- or a cow, they of course replied that he was obviously both, and the world
- has been better place ever since. See Tech Note #31 or the QT MooV (<<<get
- it??) 'The Dogcow meets System 7' for more info.
