- Hello!
-
- I was surprised with the interest people have shown on the Page
- Maker "credits" tip. At least eight persons have sent me private
- messages commenting on it, or asking me to provide the mentioned key-
- stroke sequences. Danielle wonders what are the ones hidden into the
- Excel code showing the logos "battle". I really don't know. But Karin
- Youngberg teaches us the Win 3.1 credits tip:

- Pull down the Help menu and click About in any application that
- comes with Windows--Program Manager or Notepad, e.g. You will see a
- Help About dialog box. Now hold down both the Ctrl and Shift keys
- simultaneously and double-click the icon that appears in the upper-
- left corner of the dialog box. Nothing will seem to happen. Click
- OK to close the dialog box, then click Help About again. This time,
- when you Ctrl+Shift+double-click the icon, a small flag will appear,
- waving the Windows logo....
- Don't stop yet, though--there's more. Click OK to close this dialog
- box, then click Help About again. At this point, when you
- Ctrl+Shift+double-click the icon, a small figure materializes,
- pointing to a scrolling text box with the names of the Windows
- 3.1...staff.

- The 2 paragraphs above are quoted from *Windows Secrets 3.1* by
- Brian Livingston. It's a wonderfully helpful book. Good luck. It>
- works if you follow the directions exactly.

- ...Sorry Karin if I did wrong letting your E_Mail up there (
- anyway it's easy to find the userid of anyone subscribed to PAGE
- MAKR just by issuing the REVIEW PAGEMAKR-L command to the List-
- server).

- I hope we aren't gonna see another flame on the superiority of the
- PC or the Mac. Athough I've always used a PC I think I have suffered
- from what a famous (here) newspaper computer expert has classified
- as "Mac Envy" (which every PC user of graphic applications should
- have felt at least once in his/her life). Nothing new about this.
- Everybody knows DOS is not THE operating system for 386 machines
- And now we have already had scientific confirmation from Cindy's
- (the one in whose veins now runs Macintosh blood, said the Poet)
- posting, that Page Maker is really better at a Mac (as the book-
- let discussion has shown) or at least, is in a further development
- stage...

- Well, reading the statistics Geof has compiled for the DTPFAQ
- I noticed there was a NeXt user listed. I've read wonderfull things about
- that platform. You can for example Cut & Paste from an application
- to another just by dragging the picture from the source window to
- the destination one. Something like the graphic move command in
- Windows 3.1 Filemanager; when you "drag" a file from drive C: to
- a floppy disk in drive a: or b: I also have heard that you can
- also see nice displays of EPS files on the screen instead of a
- coarse bitmap emulation or a foolish X in a box. Although I have never
- seen one of those wonders I'd like to hear the opinion of anyone who has
- used Pagemaker using the NeXt environment.
-
- Talking about our good friend Geof, I insist in not beeing a lady...
