MailBITS/11-Jan-93
------------------
  Phew, what a week! Macworld Expo is always a trip, figuratively
  and literally, and this year was no exception. We'll have news
  from the show for the next few issues, but first, I have to clear
  up a few things from last week.


Lotus Number
  Leon Campbell writes, "I called the 800 number for the $49 upgrade
  to Lotus 1-2-3 mentioned in TidBITS#157 and the operator said she
  only knew about the $119 upgrade price. I read her the TidBITS
  piece and she put me on hold for a couple of minutes and came back
  with the message that the number I called could not do the $49
  upgrade. She gave me another number - 800/343-5414. I called and
  they took care of the order very nicely.

Nisus Drag & Drop
  Thomas Robb writes, "SoloWriter 1.3, the 'Japanized' version of
  Nisus, has drag & drop already! I'm not sure if Ian Shortreed, the
  'Japanizer,' wrote the code on his own or if Nisus gave it to him,
  but it's there, according to the 1.3 literature."

  Information from:
    Thomas N. Robb -- [e-mail]


Compatibility Checker Comments
  Peter Galko writes, "I found that the Compatibility Checker
  reported parts of the 7.1 stuff Apple sent me as a beta tester of
  7.1 were supposedly incompatible with 7.1! It also reported that
  there is a newer version of Adobe Illustrator (later than the
  latest). Apparently Apple used an outside contractor to collect
  the data, and they made a few mistakes, to say the least."

YAT - Yet Another Trojan
------------------------
  by Jeff Shulman -- [e-mail]

  There is a version of "CPro 1.41.sea" [masquerading as an update
  to Compact Pro -Adam] that is really a Trojan. It will attempt to
  erase your startup volume and any floppy in disk drive one. We
  haven't finished fully analyzing it yet so it is possible it _may_
  do more. So far it has only been sighted in Michigan. You can tell
  it from any legitimate version by a 312K snd resource called "log
  jingle."


Gatekeeper Message
------------------
  by Chris Johnson -- [e-mail]

  Users of Gatekeeper 1.2.6 will soon receive a warning stating that
  1.2.6 is out of date and should be replaced with a more recent
  version. This warning appears automatically when modern versions
  of Gatekeeper exceed six months in age and is intended to prevent
  people from unwittingly depending on obsolete versions of the
  program which may no longer offer effective or safe protection
  from viruses. In spite of the warning, though, Gatekeeper 1.2.6
  remains FULLY functional.

  The six month time limit was chosen because it seemed likely that
  due to the need for periodic bug fixes, functional improvements,
  and code to stop new viruses, new versions would always be
  released within six months of each other. Unfortunately, the
  testing/debugging phase for Gatekeeper 1.2.7 has run unexpectedly
  long and delayed its release beyond the anticipated six months.

  So, some form of 1.2.7 will be made available as soon as possible
  (if it has bugs, it certainly has far fewer than 1.2.6), and, in
  the meantime, Gatekeeper 1.2.6 remains as functional as ever even
  though it will complain about being out of date once every five
  days.

  I apologize for any inconvenience.

  When 1.2.7 is available, an announcement will be posted in the
  comp.sys.mac.announce newsgroup, and the file will be sent to all
  major Macintosh archive sites, and posted to the comp.binaries.mac
  newsgroup.


Nisus and Expressionist
-----------------------
  Oops, I blew this one big time, writing last issue that
  Expressionist was from Macreations and not Prescience, the company
  that actually makes Expressionist. Sorry about that, Prescience.
  In addition, Mel Martinez passes on this useful information on how
  to link the current versions of Nisus and Expressionist.


Mel writes:
  Expressionist and Nisus XS should be able to communicate
  seamlessly through Apple events. Although Expressionist might end
  up bundled with Nisus XS, I doubt it will be incorporated into the
  program. With Apple events, there is no real need to do so.

  Keep in mind that it is not necessary to wait for Nisus XS in
  order to tightly integrate Expressionist and Nisus. Using
  QuicKeys, you can easily set up hot keys that let you edit an
  Expressionist equation that you pasted into Nisus earlier.


Linking Nisus and Expressionist
  In Nisus, select the equation by double-clicking or click-drag.
  Then press a QuicKeys key-combination to move the equation from
  Nisus back into Expressionist for editing (I use command-
  option-E).

  The QuicKeys sequence macro looks like this and will do the
  following:

* Change the Nisus clipboard to a designated 'equation' clipboard.
  (This saves the current contents of the clipboard. I use clipboard
  9 for equations.)

* Use command-C or Copy to place the equation in the clipboard.

* Call up Expressionist using an application QuicKey. (You could
  also use a Apple menu item via an alias.)

* (optional) Create a new Expressionist window by using command-N
  or New. This ensures that a window is open and that you don't
  overwrite any existing equation.

* Use command-V or Paste to paste the equation into Expressionist.

  Now that you're in Expressionist with your equation, edit it to
  your heart's content. When you finish, press your QuicKeys
  combination to copy the equation in Expressionist, return to
  Nisus, and paste it in over the old version of the equation (I use
  command-option-N).

  This second QuicKeys sequence macro looks like this and will do
  the following:

* Command-A or Select All to select the equation in Expressionist.

* Command-C or Copy to copy it to the clipboard.

* (optional) Command-W or Close to close the window (you must also
  then include a step to decide not to save the equation in
  Expressionist. If you have Escapade or a similar tool installed, a
  simple N will suffice.).

* (optional) Command-Q or Quit to quit Expressionist. Not
  recommended.

* Bring Nisus back to the front using the application menu in the
  upper right-hand corner (this is the best way, believe me).

* Command-V or Paste to paste the equation at the current
  selection point in Nisus. If you haven't monkeyed around, the old
  version of the equation should still be selected and will be
  overwritten by the new version.

* (optional) Restore the clipboard to your default clipboard in
  Nisus (usually clipboard 0).

  This works quickly and smoothly on both a IIsi and a Quadra. Note
  that because Nisus has multiple Undos, you can always undo the
  pasting of the edited version of the equation and go back to the
  original.

  This technique also applies to combining almost any tools such as
  equation editors, table editors, or graphics programs with not
  only Nisus, but other word processors as well. Nisus's main
  advantage is its multiple clipboards and multiple Undos (as a
  safety net). Also, Nisus's macro language allows one to combine
  powerful internal Nisus macros with QuicKeys's interapplication
  abilities. For example, a Nisus macro can systematically search
  for a type of item (such as data) in a Nisus file, then use
  QuicKeys to call up some other program to operate on it, return to
  Nisus with the changes and then continue looking for the next
  item.

  [I use Nisus, Frontier, and QuicKeys to automatically reroute
  certain bang-routed uAccess UUCP mailfiles while I'm on vacation
  for just this reason. -Adam]

Macworld Expo SF 1993
---------------------
  Although I don't think Macworld Expo had any stunning surprises
  this year, it did feature more promising new products and solid
  upgrades than I recall from previous years. Perhaps the hardest
  part this year was remembering everything that I wanted to write
  about after the fact, but here are some of the lights, mostly
  high, a few low.


Best New Interface: Retrospect 2.0
  Although PageMaker 5.0 added some nice interface elements such as
  the ability to drag objects from one document to another, they
  also left in some major interface idiocies, such as one setting
  that requires navigating through five modal dialog boxes. Thus,
  the best new interface award goes to Dantz for their clever
  interface work with Retrospect 2.0. Although Retrospect 1.3 was
  relatively easy to use once you understood its idiosyncracies, it
  was never a striking example of good design. From the demo I saw
  of Retrospect 2.0, Dantz has rectified that error and then some.

  Almost everything is done from a main modeless window that
  superficially resembles a non-scrolling System 6 Control Panel.
  Five icons line up along the left, controlling functions such as
  instant backup, scripts, reports, configurations, and tools. When
  you select one with the mouse or by typing the first letter of its
  name, additional options appear to the right, and again, you can
  select items in that part of the window by first letter or by
  clicking. I especially liked Dantz's use of the keyboard since it
  makes sense to use the keyboard as a controller device when it
  cannot be used for text input.

  The other main interface element that improved significantly is
  the scripts, which now appear in a single window, showing you the
  source, destination, criteria, options, and schedule in a clean
  and easily understood list. Creating and reading selection
  criteria has become easier, and once created, modifying and using
  the criteria is also much better. You can even view the files to
  archive when you have multiple sources selected for archiving,
  something which irritated me in the previous version. I could go
  on, but take my word for it, Dantz did an amazing job on the
  interface. I don't believe the functionality has changed
  significantly although Dantz did add a few things like faster
  compression and additional hardware support.

Most Interesting Hardware: SmartStack
-------------------------------------
  Given that I don't specialize in any particular area, I don't get
  excited about advances in printer or modem or whatever technology.
  However, one thing other than the Apple Adjustable Keyboard (more
  on that in a bit) did catch my attention. Envisio, now owned by
  Mirror, introduced the SmartStack, a device that allows you to
  vertically stack up to seven SCSI devices in a single unit. Drives
  in the SmartStack do not connect to each other using cables,
  instead, the drives actually plug into each other. Envisio hopes
  that this new way of connecting drives will reduce cable clutter,
  interference, and SCSI errors. For $249, you buy a SmartSource
  base for the bottom of your stack, which includes SCSI connectors
  and a fan, and a top unit that offers another cooling fan and a
  SCSI loopback connector so you can chain additional existing SCSI
  devices. The SmartModules that contain the actual SCSI devices
  stack neatly between the SmartSource and the cover module.

  Envisio has ten SmartModules available now, including hard drives
  ranging from 127 MB to 1 GB, a 128 MB removable optical drive, and
  a 2 GB DAT drive. You are limited to modules produced by Envisio
  or specifically engineered for the SmartStack, but Envisio is
  negotiating with other manufacturers and working on additional
  modules to accommodate network interface modules, CD-ROM players,
  modems, disk arrays, and possibly even SyQuest drives turned on
  their sides. SyQuest should also have a 105 MB 3.5" removable
  drive out sometime this spring, according to various rumors I
  heard, and that drive will fit within the horizontal size of the
  SmartStack. Although some additional engineering is required, the
  lack of a power supply or additional connectors on each module
  should help keep the prices competitive, if not specifically low.
  The SmartStack is worth a look, especially if you are buying a new
  system and don't already have a number of external SCSI storage
  devices.

Booth Most Likely to Drive You Stark Raving Mad
-----------------------------------------------
  This award goes to the intensely designed Pinnacle Micro booth,
  which had fully enclosed walls and ceiling and a funky green neon
  waterfall. The walls seemed to be a brushed aluminum with a three
  dimensional design etched into them in such a way that I kept
  looking into the wall trying to make sense of the pattern.
  Needless to say, I never did, and what with the booth's green and
  purple spotlights, bright green waterfall, and neon pink plastic
  flame thingies, I found it a truly a psychedelic experience, and
  not one I care to repeat soon. I wonder what they sell?


Best Giveaway: Video Toaster Tape
---------------------------------
  NewTek carries this award with their Video Toaster demo videotape,
  which is about ten minutes of snazzy effects and animations, all
  done with the Video Toaster. The Toaster grows more and more
  impressive, and as I see it each year, I keep lusting after one
  until I realize that I will never do video production. It's just
  not a hobby I'm likely to get into in my copious spare time. I'll
  depend on others for my Video Toast. (Quick quiz: Which makes
  darker toast, a Video Toaster or a Flying Toaster?)

    NewTek -- 800/368-5441 -- 612/881-2862


Best Buttons: Peachpit Press
----------------------------
  Due to my current status as email junkie, I give the best buttons
  award to Peachpit Press for their set of three yellow smiley
  buttons, a normal smiley, a wink, and a kiss. I picked up the
  buttons and stared at them for a few seconds the right way up, not
  getting it until I turned them on their sides the way smileys were
  meant to be. Runner-up goes to Wired magazine (supposedly the
  Rolling Stone of the computer world) for their "Get Wired"
  buttons. I haven't read much in the premiere issue of Wired yet,
  but it looks interesting and might be worth checking out at $20
  per year.

    Wired -- 800/769-4733


Best Hat: Robin Williams
------------------------
  A truly silly award to author Robin Williams, who has the third
  edition of the Little Mac Book out (it's getting a bit bigger,
  though), and pre-release copies of a new little book called "Tabs
  and Indents." I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine
  the topic of that book. Anyway, back to the award, Robin once
  again wore the most interesting hats of the show while the rest of
  us dressed in our "Ken and Barbie Go to Macworld" costumes. I
  unfortunately forgot my fish tie.


Best Financial Reason to Attend: StuffIt Deluxe
-----------------------------------------------
  The best deal of the show goes to Aladdin Systems for their
  guerilla pricing on StuffIt Deluxe and SpaceSaver (which is
  included with the complete StuffIt Deluxe package). Aladdin
  offered StuffIt Deluxe for $45 and SpaceSaver alone for $25.
  Although I understand that people don't often need the full power
  of StuffIt because SpaceSaver can create and expand StuffIt
  archives, I still think the extra $20 is worth it for the full
  package. That one time someone gives you a file that has been
  tar'ed and you can't expand it online due to disk space problems
  (which I always have - or you work on a CMS machine that wouldn't
  know tar from feathers and wants to translate it all into EBCDIC
  anyway) it's nice to have the full set of StuffIt's translators.
  It's also fun dragging things from archive to archive - an example
  of interface done right.

  Second prize in this category goes to Teleware for dropping the
  price on their well-reviewed MYOB accounting program and its
  just-released smaller sibling, Best Books, to $19 for the show.
  Considering MYOB's list price of $99, the show special went over
  so well that Teleware quickly ran out of packages and had to
  promise to ship them after the show.


Most Promising Game: The Journeyman Project
-------------------------------------------
  Presto Studios is finally shipping The Journeyman Project. I
  haven't played it yet, not having received my AppleCD 300 yet, but
  from the demos and from talking with the creators of The
  Journeyman Project, it's an impressive accomplishment and a
  ground-breaking game. The Journeyman Project is an interactive,
  non-linear game, unlike Spaceship Warlock, which is more of a
  movie. It has 400 areas, each of which has four views, and Presto
  rendered each of the 1600 scenes and then retouched each one with
  Photoshop, thus making The Journeyman Project the first
  photorealistic game. The graphics are indeed stunning, but even
  more impressive is the way Presto designed the game so you can
  solve it either peacefully or violently. The Journeyman Project
  does penalize your point total for using unnecessary violence, but
  more interestingly, it makes future actions more difficult, thus
  discouraging rampant violence. A nice change, and one I'll look at
  in more detail once I can play for a while. If you're in the
  market for a CD-ROM game, you won't do any better than The
  Journeyman Project right now, although several interesting games
  are in progress from other companies as well.

    Presto Studios -- 619/689-4895 -- [e-mail]


Apple Adjustable Keyboard
-------------------------
  I finally saw Apple's new ergonomic keyboard, the Apple Adjustable
  Keyboard. Its innovative features include the ability to open in
  the middle to up to a 30 degree angle, splitting the standard
  QWERTY layout (ISO for European users) so the 6, Y, H, and N keys
  sit on the right-hand side of the split. The space bar remains
  stationary in the middle and is enlarged for ease of use no matter
  what the keyboard's orientation (I approve of this since the space
  bar is the most commonly used key). The keyboard includes
  detachable palm rests and a separate extended keypad which can sit
  on the right or left side of the keyboard, attached by a short ADB
  cable. The numeric keypad offers function keys on its left side,
  then a cursor keypad, and on its right side, the numbers. Apple
  also added features never seen before on Macintosh keyboards,
  including speaker volume, mute, and microphone recording controls,
  which will be ideal for the increasing number of multimedia users.
  That's the good news, and even despite the upcoming bad news, I
  still think this keyboard is one of the best of the mass market.

  The bad news is that Apple only gave the keyboard the standard
  little flip-down feet for slope adjustment, and as important as
  the opening angle is, some vertical adjustment would have been
  useful. Ideally you should be able to hold your hands so that your
  thumbs are on top rather than on the inside when typing. I can see
  where vertical adjustment would be hard to engineer, but hey, it's
  my job to complain about this stuff.

  Potentially more serious is the way Apple used chiclet-style keys
  (like the buttons on a touch-tone phone only smaller and round)
  for the escape key, the sound keys, and the function keys. I use
  the function keys (along with QuicKeys) on my extended keyboard to
  switch between programs because the function keys are hard to
  logically or mnemonically map to application-specific functions
  and work best on system-wide functions. I'm concerned that the
  chiclet-style keys will prove enough harder to push that they may
  actually aggravate repetitive stress injuries, contrary to the
  keyboard's design. The infrequently used sound keys should be
  fine, and I wish Apple had made the Caps Lock key a chiclet key,
  since unlike all other keys it might be useful to have it small
  and round so I couldn't press it accidently. Only extensive
  testing will allow me to determine whether or not the other
  chiclet keys will be a problem, but I'm considering replacing my
  five year-old and somewhat flaky Ehman Extended Keyboard with one
  of these Adjustable Keyboards.

  Just today, we learned that Tony Hodges, maker of the Tony!
  keyboard, plans to sue Apple for patent infringement. The Tony!
  has been around for a while but has never shipped. When it ships
  it will cost much more than Apple's keyboard but will offer more
  in the way of customized key angles and tilting. At the moment,
  both sides are muttering legalese, so it's hard to tell what's
  what, but we'll write more about this should interesting details
  develop.

  I tried touch typing on the Adjustable Keyboard at the show for a
  paragraph or two, and surprisingly, even at the maximum open angle
  of 30 degrees, I made few errors. The errors I did make were on
  keys more in the middle of the keyboard, the I and the U
  primarily, rather than the keys that border the chasm. The
  keyboard's tactile feedback felt much like other Apple keyboards,
  which I don't prefer, but at least it's consistent. The unit I
  used had the keypad on the right side as it normally is, but I
  think I'd immediately try it on the left side so that I wouldn't
  have to move my right hand as far to get to my Curtis trackball
  and to off-load some non-typing duties to my left hand. No need to
  discriminate here. The keyboard will supposedly list at $219 when
  it ships next month, and it is only compatible with ADB Macs
  (everything after the Plus), and it will work with PowerBooks. The
  software for the special sound keys works with System 6.0.7 and
  later. Give it a test write at a dealer and see what you think.

    Apple propaganda


Alert! Most Likely to Succeed, If...
------------------------------------
  Of the new programs I saw, MAXA's Alert shows the most promise if
  it lives up to all of their promises. Apparently the main
  developer did a lot of the work on Norton Utilities for Macintosh,
  and although his contract forbids him from working in the same
  areas as Norton Utilities, he decided to create a program that
  could work in much the same way, actually fixing problems rather
  than just reporting them. Since disk problems were out, he created
  Alert, which will scan your disk for conflicts and problems and
  fix them for you. OK, I was skeptical too at this point, so I
  pushed for some details.

  Alert essentially goes through your disk and looks for things that
  it knows are wrong. So, if you have a program that requires a
  minimum memory partition of 1024K and for some reason you (or
  someone) has set it to 666K, you're probably going have problems
  (potentially of more than one sort). Alert will discover that
  problem, and can fix it by increasing the memory partition,
  without you doing anything. It can also do things like determine
  that certain programs aren't 32-bit clean and that you are running
  in 32-bit mode even though you don't have more than 8 MB of RAM
  and you aren't using lots of virtual memory. As a fix, Alert turns
  off 32-bit addressing, and using a database which MAXA promises
  will be the most extensive in the industry (more comprehensive
  than the one that comes with Help! from Teknosys), Alert will
  provide you with the phone numbers for the vendors of the
  offending programs so you can find out how to upgrade. The
  database will be either free or cheap for two years after
  purchase, unlike Help's quarterly subscription deal.

  To make Alert more useful to consultants, MAXA designed it to work
  not only over an AppleTalk network, but also over a modem. So if
  you're an independent consultant and a client calls with a
  problem, you can run Alert over a modem connection to determine
  and automatically fix the problem on their machine.

  My basic impression of Alert is that if it works and has a great
  deal of depth (and those are big IFs) it will become an important
  tool for all of us who are in some way responsible for keeping
  less-knowledgeable users' Macs running (Hi Mom!). Unfortunately,
  it's the sort of program that will require extensive testing on
  many Macs before I'll be able to make that judgement, and since
  it's not shipping yet, it will be a while before I can start the
  testing process. If it turns out that Alert never tells you
  anything you didn't already know, or if it isn't complete in its
  reports about what it has done while you weren't looking, it will
  quickly wither away.
