- You were close. You're thinking of TeachTextMaker. Learn to use WAIS,
- and you can answer these questions yourself. Here's the top-scoring
- article from a search of info-mac.src with the keywords "archived

- Info-Mac Digest V8 #185: [*] TeachTextMaker v 1.0

- Creating TeachText readme files containing Pictures in the past
- was something most people didn't like to do. Moreover many people
- didn't even know how to do it. It was a complex task, juggling
- resources, using ResEdit. So there weren't too many TeachText
- files with Pictures about. And yet, TeachText is an ideal
- instrument for readme documents and online-manuals of all kinds:
- it launches quickly, uses little memory and above all: everybody's
- got it.
-
- So I decided to write an application to create TeachText files as
- easily as it is to create a MacWrite document, using
- cut&paste-like commands. The result was: TeachText Maker (TTM).

- One of the flaws in the anarchic bopper society was
- the ease with which such crazed rumors could spread.
