First Time Readers
HOW TO NAVIGATE WINONLINE™ PUBLICATIONS

The Windows Help system is used by our magazines. It’s a convenient way to view Hypertext files like the WinOnLine magazine you are reading now. Here are a few tips to make your reading more pleasurable and convenient:

The Help Button Bar at the top is arranged to help you move easily through the magazine:

The Contents button, when clicked, will return you to our Table of Contents

Search starts a dialog box with all the keywords that can refer to different sections and articles in the magazine. Try it and see.

History displays a listing of the places in the magazine you have been so you can return

Print Topic will send the article you are currently reading to the printer. It will not print “popup” boxes, though.

<<Page | Page>> can perhaps be the best way to view WinOnLine Publications. With these buttons you can browse through the magazine in page order, just as you would a paper magazine.

You may use the keyboard Page Up, Page Down and Up and Down Arrow keys to forward and backward in an article, or use mouse clicks on the vertical bar shown on the right.

The automatic Pop-Ups throughout the issue can be cleared from view by a simple mouse click anywhere on the screen. You will find that some may have a special bit of text that, when clicked, will take you even further to another page, function or popup. Using the Back button will always return you to where you have been.

Certain bits of text may be a different color be underlined, usually indicating that clicking on them will cause something to happen. Certain graphics, such as the authors’ at the close of each article, are keyed to a popup image such as information about the author. When you see your arrow cursor change to a hand, you are on such a spot. Click on this text (see the special color and how your cursor changes?) to see what happens.

We hope you will enjoy the WinOnLine publication. If you want to print this page as a reference, click on Print Topic on the button bar.

Now click Back on the button bar to resume reading where you left off.


How to Read Popup
SURPRISE!!!

This is a popup box.

Click anywhere and

it will disappear.


Publisher's Desk
      PUBLISHER’S DESK

We continue to bring the best services to our Windows OnLine™ (BBS) subscribers, and soon to non-subscribers and readers of the WinOnLine Review™ as well.

GET THE SHAREWARE IN WOLR — WITH EASE!

Most of the e-mail we get as a result of WinOnLine Review is “Where can I get that program you reviewed in WOLR last month?” Very soon we will have a very convenient answer to that question: Windows OnLine™ will be offering the ability for readers of the WinOnLine Review™ to download, from our World Wide Web site, all of the shareware mentioned in the ezine! We are as excited as you must be about this new development, and will be announcing the particulars in the near future.

SLIPPING AT 28.8

Windows OnLine™ (BBS) will soon be working with Concentric Research (the BBS Direct folks) to offer full 28.8 SLIP internet services from our Danville, CA. location. We will offer Windows internet software to startup accounts.

Also coming — the ability to access Windows OnLine (BBS) through the internet via a Telnet session. Stay tuned as we develop each of these capabilities and announce them here in WOLR and on WOL.

Meanwhile, be sure to visit our home page at http://www.cris.com/wol where you’ll find some issues you can read with your favorite web browser, as well as having the ability to download all of our past issues.

CURMUDGEONLY COMMENTS

an opinion of Wolly

Wolly likes Word for Windows 6.0. Or at least he did. There he was, peacefully completing his article and running the grammar checker and suddenly, it stopped -- with the following result:

WHAT!?!

Now, this may come as a shock, but Wolly knows he is guilty of the occasional lapse of good taste, especially in the political sense. Word’s grammar recommendations can sometimes be quite bizarre, but this!?!? Wolly is the king when it comes to shareware, isn’t he???? Somehow, the monarch of shareware doesn't have the same ring to it.

After his burst of furry fury and astonishment, Wolly’s eyes glazed over as he entered what seemed to be a futurist’s trance. Pages of the calendar flew by, just like in a 40's B-movie, and he saw Word 7.0 before him on his 21" monitor. Bob must have won the lottery. He began to hunt and peck in his usual manner.

Words on the screen began to change as he keyed them. Grammar checker and Autocorrect have been merged! Repairman changed to repairperson on the fly. Typing “ain’t” resulted in a GPF. Stronger violations automatically activated a modem dialing sequence to notify the Grammar Police.

Deeper he fell under the spell of the future. Suddenly, Word 11.0 appeared. No, only one more year of upgrade fever had passed — clearly Microsoft had continued it’s odd method of version numbering scheme, as if it were on the SAT test: Finish this series of numbers: 1.0, 2.0, 6.0, 7.0 . . .

In the future the world is a different place. Redmond is the capital, and PC no longer stands for Personal Computer. We all are politically correct. It’s the law.

And we thought we had to worry about 1984 and George Orwell. He had only an inkling ...

LETTERS

We’ve gotten some very helpful and encouraging notes as a result of our Reader Survey — have you sent it your opinion yet? Please e-mail, fax, or snailmail your reply to the survey that was published in the last two issues — general comments and letters about WOLR and what we publish are always welcome! Here’s some random comments from surveys we received via fax, the internet, and even snailmail, from readers worldwide:

What would you like to see more of in WOLR?

Hardware Reviews

More shareware reviews, CD reviews. You seem to speak so well, how about ‘how to’ articles about system setup and memory optimization?

More screen samples of apps (yes, I know they’re big, but it’s so nice to see those actual samples.

Software reviews, but they need to be comparative. Which one should I buy?

What would you like to see less of?

I read everything! Don’t remove a thing, add more!

Screen savers, limited use programs.

What do you like best about WOLR?

You speak in a plain voice, not technotalk.

Shareware Reviews, and the format (help file) very nice, sound and all!

The clear style in which the articles are written.

Wolly’s wonderful!

Innovative, easy to use format.

Is WOLR too large?

No, I’d d/l a 3mb file is I knew it came from you guys.

It’s just right

No, if it’s not larger than 1mb, zipped.

General Comments:

It’s one of the best electronic magazines I’ve seen so far.

Keep up the good work!

I enjoy WOLR and look forward to it each month

I’ve been on WOL for the past three years - best Windows BBS around!

We also learned that all of our respondents were using 486 or pentium machines, with 8 or 16 megs, and that most used 1024x768 as their primary viewing resolution. Many have already lept into the Windows 95 abyss, but several have a “wait and see” attitude, yet many of those still were in favor of us ramping up our coverage of Win95-oriented products.

Wolly must note that the subject line of one response was appropriately titled “swelled heads.” We must admit that we were very gratified by the very kind and helpful responses we received. And not one flame! (Wolly was a bit disappointed). Thanks to all, and we hope to continue to hear from more of our readers with their suggestions, criticisms, and comments.

ERRATA:

The filename we listed for Tek Illustrator in the May issue was only one of two zip files required for installation. We regret the error, and have since updated that file with a complete and newer version, all in one file: TK316E.ZIP (2.7K).

We love to hear from our readers. Send letters to the Editor or any staff member via:

Internet:	bob.gollihur@wol.com
CIS:	71334,2065
Fax:	609-624-3646
Snailmail:	WOLR Editor, Seven Baywyn Drive, Ocean View, NJ 08230

Please note that each author has email and other contact information at the close of their article — just click on their icon!

Notice: Letters may be edited for length; names will be published unless otherwise requested, addresses will be withheld unless authorized by you for inclusion (please state so in your letter). A geographical location is requested.


SHAREWARE BRIEFS

Quick Takes and Pure Opinion from Wolly

 FONT REVIEW

Quick — just click!

Font Review is faster than anything else Wolly has seen — it associates itself to the TTF extension at installation, so when you click, super-quick, you get a display dialog of the font. The tabbed result shows the famed “quick brown fox” sentence, the second a scrollable display of every character in the font. Cool. You can click to install the font, too, and Font Review wisely gives Wolly the choice of placing the TTF in his System directory, another directory or his choice, or leaving it where it is! And doubly cool, you can drag a flock of TTF files to the open interface from File Manager and then browse among them. Definitely REAL WORLD stuff  from our very own Brian Kinkel, author of Printer’s Apprentice (reviewed as a feature in this issue) and writer of the review on SpyWorks-VB. Looks like he really does how it works! FONREV10.ZIP (412K) can be yours for the reasonable sum of $10.00.

 EMAIL ASSIST FOR WINCIM

Slick signatures, spelling, and quotes

If you’re used to one of the better QWK off-line mail readers, even the latest WinCIM feels lightweight and limited. Fortunately, EMail Assist has come to Wolly’s rescue. This WinCIM 1.4 add-on comfortably integrates itself and adds neat stuff to make CompuServe mail activities more pleasant and professional. The message box takes on a whole new look, with options to quote the original mail, and a spellchecker to fix those typos. You can configure the way the spellchecker handles quoted text and get it to skip over stuff it might ordinarily trip over, and adding words to your personal dictionary is easy. Different quote methods are available, too. Signatures are a super feature — you can name and add multiline text, and when you’re ready to finish a message, just chose one from your inventory (as shown) to tag your message. EAWC103.ZIP (259K) is a mere $15.00 and will save you time, aggravation, and spark up your CIS mail exchanges. This is a REAL WORLD application that will remain on Wolly’s drive, fer sure!

ICON SNATCHER

and Sniffer, too!

This is one of the more interesting icon program variations Wolly’s seen lately. Ferret out icons from the innards of EXE, DLL, and NIL files, and show them clearly on the tabbed pages. Find one you like??? Snatch it and save as an ICO or BMP file, just like that. But the coolest thing about Icon Snatcher is the Icon Sniffer. Send this little puppy on its way with instructions to seek out files with icons within, and it delivers big, even showing the number found. Click on any found file, and the icons within appear in the main display (Wolly has them overlaid in the illustration for the sake of space). Yeah, way cool. ICSNAT.ZIP (238K) can be registered for $20.00.

click me!

DIZ MASTER

DIZzy with delight

The FILE_ID.DIZ brought one of the most positive contributions to the world of BBSing. For those of you who’ve ignored those little files, the concept was invented by Clark Development, the folks who bring you the PCBoard software that Windows OnLine™ and thousands of other on-line systems use. When a zip file with a FILE_ID.DIZ is uploaded, the description of “neat game-- try this!” is overwritten by the content of the DIZ file, thereby preserving the original author’s intent. Hallelujah! DIZ Master makes creating those files according to specs a lot easier. You can paste or enter copy into the dialog as shown, and the Master keeps you in line, with no more than 45 characters across and ten lines down. The second tabbed dialog will let you peer into a zip file, showing you content and even details about files, but it won’t do any unzipping or such magic. Only one minor glitch: if you use a lot of upper case characters in your description, word wrap can be a problem. Wolly likes the look and feel of DIZM20.ZIP (246K), and if you do a lot of DIZmaking, you’ll find the $10.00 registration irresistible.

TOPS

256 pages on one page? Wolly will need bifocals!

Yeah, on-line is cool, as WOLR will demonstrate, but sometimes we need transportable words, as in paper-based images. Nobody likes to waste toner or ribbon on massive printouts, and TOPS is definitely tops in solving that problem! This is probably the slickest page reduction system Wolly has seen, taking full advantage of Windows dialogs and providing options for headers and footers, margins, fonts, and even letting you place different borders to set pages off. Set up your own matrix of up to 16x16 pages (bring your magnifying glass), mix well with an ASCII file, and POOF! you get really sharp-looking output. All kinds of adjustments to customize your output, handling tabs, page breaks, page and sheet numbering, and with deal blank lines and line lengths are provided. TOPS11.ZIP (193K) will watermark your output until you send them $39.95 to register, but you’ll definitely be getting one of the top programs of this genre!

TRUETYPE FONTS

Odd assortment

   E_C.ZIP (45K)

Elegant Capitals I & II, displayed at 26pt to help detail

   SIMPLETT.ZIP (19K)

also displayed at 26pt

   BRUM.ZIP (27K)

All these fonts look far better on paper than they do on-screen. Don’t forget, check the files for shareware terms!

GROUP EDITOR

and the Group's all here!

Have you ever looked at your GRP files? Good luck. Those rulers of Program Manager are in some sort of MS-lingo, so if you want to do some mass editing because you’ve changed paths or something, forget it! Well, never mind, now you can remember it because GRPED13.ZIP (17K) comes to the rescue. This neatly written app communicates with the groups via DDE with Program Manager, so it plays by all the rules and thereby eliminates the corruption monster. As you can see from the illustration, Group Editor has a nifty search and replace utility, and can edit any component of the Group. And as freeware, such a deal! Thanks to John A. Grant, who only asks if you buy him a beer if you’re ever in Ottawa.

 Wolly sez...

click me!

MORAFF’S SPHEREJONGG

Round Mah...

Here’s a simple game that even Wolly comprehends (who needs complex puzzles when you’re trying to get Windows 95 to run right?). The real deal will present 16 million color images (what you see here is 16 colors at 50% of actual size) and challenge you to eliminate matching pairs. Set up an easy, medium, or expert game level, and keep track of scores. If you’re in a particularly thick mood, you can even get a hint! SPHEJONG.ZIP (843K) is a limited demo of the game, but it’s fun and even has digitized voice and sound effects. You can get the full, expanded version by registering at a cost of $29.00.

VBSYS WINDOWS SYSTEM MONITOR

Not your father’s resource monitor

Wolly thought he’d seen far too many resource monitors, and yet, here he is, recommending you take a look at one! VBSys goes beyond the ordinary, and beyond what you see here. Those little buttons can exit or restart Windows, cause the program to stay on top, and access a neat group of other functions: Run a program, tell you how long your current Windows session has run, set the date and time, reboot your PC, and compact memory! One level deeper shows you DOS and Windows system information. A second version that displays the same data as a thin bar across your screen is also included, and you can register VBSYS252.ZIP (123K) for $7.50 for either version, or $10.00 for both.

CROSSWORD MANIA!

Wolly never says a cross word, but he is occasionally manic

This neat program can regale or annoy you with your favorite sounds as you solve your puzzles, allowing you to choose WAV files to associate with different activities. All this while the configurable timer clicks away, adding to the pressure. You can display multiple puzzles in this MDI application, though this version comes only with five samples to practice on. When you click on the word entry point in the puzzle, the program jumps to the clue for that word. You can even design your own crosswords, including diagramless puzzles, having the computer help you build them, but you’ll have to register in order to be able to save your work. Crossword Mania! comes with a monster dictionary, too, and if you’re rodent-oriented, you can use just the mouse to enter letters. Grab both CWM10-1.ZIP (941K) and CWM10-2.ZIP (771K) to audition and then register Crossword Mania! for $24.99.

Printer's Apprentice
PRINTER’S APPRENTICE

a review by David Morgan

Printer’s Apprentice 6.0 is a powerful utility for managing fonts under Windows. It can be used to install, remove, view or print fonts, and works with True Type, Adobe Type 1 (ATM), and printer fonts. Several features and general ease of use distinguish it from the multitude of font utilities currently on the market. Printer’s Apprentice makes extensive use of “Wizards” to guide the user effortlessly through many of its uses. But, while being very easy to use, it is not overly simplistic.

The main program window

The main program window provides access to the many features in Printer’s Apprentice. Fonts are viewed by selecting an installed font from a drop down list. After picking a font, it can be viewed in many different ways. For instance, one of the font’s characters is displayed in the view window. Any character within the font can be selected by using a scroll bar beneath the view window. The point size is changed by another scroll bar. The character can be viewed in different styles if the separate font files for those styles are loaded. Within the main window, information about the selected font is available. The filenames for font resource files and font outline file are shown along with the keystroke used to generate the displayed character.

Multiple characters can be displayed in a variety of ways. The Keyboard command pops up a keyboard image with the selected font displayed on the keys. The Character Set command displays in a grid all characters within the selected font. There is also an option to view the font in a paragraph format with numerals, symbols, ABCs or up to eight user-defined text strings. The program is furnished with eight quotations that can be overwritten if desired. All of these viewing commands are available from the menu or by using a floating toolbar.

In addition to the wide variety of viewing options, Printer’s Apprentice lets you manage your fonts by using the available “Wizards.” If you are not yet familiar with what a wizard is or does, think of it as an interactive guide that walks you through a particular task by asking a series of questions. Your responses to those questions determine not only what the Wizard does, but how the Wizard does it.

The Install Fonts Wizard

In Printer’s Apprentice, the Install Wizard provides an effortless way to quickly preview and install True Type and ATM fonts. It couldn’t be easier. You simply point the Wizard to your fonts and select the ones to be installed. The Wizard then asks if you want the font files to be copied to the Windows directory, copied to a directory of your choice, or to keep the font file where it is. This is one of the easiest installs I have ever seen.

Printer’s Apprentice uses another Wizard to help you remove installed fonts. After choosing a font in the main program window, the Remove Fonts menu option is selected to start the Remove Wizard. You are provided the option of simply removing (uninstalling) the font or deleting either or both the FOT and TTF files. Another option lets you copy the font files to a directory of your choosing. Printer’s Apprentice will remove the [fonts] entry from WIN.INI file for the removed font.

Another Wizard within Printer’s Apprentice is the Font Resources Wizard. It helps you locate font resource files (FOT) that are no longer being used by the system. After being identified, these orphans can be removed from the hard drive freeing up a little bit of disk space.

The Print Dialog

Printer’s Apprentice is loaded with options for printing fonts. All you need to do is decide which font or fonts to print and how to print them. To print a single font, you select that font in the main program window, select the Print command from the menu, and then select the output format. Multiple fonts can be printed using the Print Inventory command.

The Inventory List print dialog

This command is used to print listings of fonts available on your system. A pop-up window prompts you for a list of fonts to be printed. After choosing the fonts, a suitable output format is chosen from among the five available specimen sheets. Options for font size, headers, footers and the inventory size are available. These inventories can be printed in single or double column formats or in variable sizes, three fonts to a page. Multiple specimen sheets for a single typeface can be printed using the Batch Printing feature.

Other noteworthy features include the Font Catalog Wizard that lets you print uninstalled fonts from CD-ROMs, floppy disks or hard drives. A Font File Listing feature prints a list of all your fonts and the filenames associated with them.

Printer’s Apprentice is a terrific value at only $20.00 ($25.00 if you also want the 34-page manual). It is very easy to use without being too simplistic and can handle just about anything having to do with fonts.

PAINT SHOP PRO

a review by Steven Jay Cohen

If you are familiar with Windows shareware, then you know that Paint Shop Pro has been around for quite awhile and has always been something special. From its very beginning it has consistently been top-notch -- an example of quality in every measure. It has been a long time between versions, but Paint Shop Pro 3.0 has certainly been worth the wait.

Paint Shop Pro’s capabilities as an image file manipulator and viewer, format converter, and screen capture utility are well established. Version 3.0 continues this high standard, but wait -- what’s this? What’s all this new stuff?!? I, for one, have found Paint Shop to be an invaluable tool, but I always thought it a little odd that an application named, “Paint Shop,” was unable to actually create an image from scratch. Haven’t you? You couldn’t really paint with Paint Shop. Well.. that’s one oxymoron that’s been fixed forever.

At long last, Paint Shop Pro has, in fact, become a paint program. True to form -- JASC did not tackle this project half-heartedly -- it is obvious that this new version was well thought out and thoroughly worked over before its release. Let’s just see what this baby’ll do! Here’s an overview of the new features.

Main Window

When you first launch Paint Shop Pro 3.0, the changes are immediately apparent. In v2.0, the floating toolbar consisted of only six buttons. What a difference! Check out the huge array of tools available in this new version:

Paint Shop Pro 3.0 Main Window

 Select Toolbox

Years of experience and user feedback have been put to good use here. The result is a marvelously intuitive working environment with functionality to the MAX!! Those of you who already know Paint Shop will notice the toolbuttons from v2.0 in this group: Cursor, Magnifier, Image Mover, Rectangle Selector, Selection Adjuster, and Cloner. Functionality among these remains basically the same, but with a couple of notable differences. In the prior version, the Area Selection Tool could only be used when the image was displayed in the normal 100% size. In v3.0 this tool can be used with any level of magnification. Additionally, both the Rectangular Selector and the new Oval Selector include an associated dialogue box that permit numerical selection by entering x and y pixel coordinates. When this dialogue box is used for selection, PSP saves the aspect ratio (width ÷ height) allowing the user to make subsequent selections with identical proportions.

The Image Mover is as handy as ever. It is a much easier way to position an image when it is larger than the currently open window than are the comparatively “klunky” scroll bars. The Cloner and Lasso are both used to copy a selected area to another part of the image. The Lasso is used for freehand selection and even permits its own boundary to be crossed during selection (figure eight style.) Aptly named, the Magic Wand makes its selection by color. The user may vary tolerance as desired, selecting an exact color or those pixels which are within a specified range of a given color.

Zoom in and zoom out are, as in v2.0, easily accomplished via primary and secondary (usually left and right, respectively) mouse clicks. This graphic shows the achievable magnification. This is a 3x3 pixel square displayed in normal resolution and at 16x magnification -- impressive, isn’t it? If you do highly detailed work, this is an invaluable feature.

Paint Tools

 Though most of the tools at the top of this box are probably familiar to you, there are some very nice touches here that are worth mentioning. First, of course, there is the Standard Brush which permits user- configurable width and shape. Next there is the Clone brush which is used to copy part of an image to another location - in either the same image or into another. The User-Defined Brush is like the Standard Brush, but with many more variables. Added adjustables for this tool include Opacity, Fade, Style, Density, and Movement. Having a favorite brush size and stroke at the ready can speed one’s work immeasurably.

The Push Brush produces an effect much like smearing fingerpaint -- only without the usual mess! In the short time I’ve been using PSP 3.0, I have found the Swap Brush to be a godsend. This tool replaces the background color with the foreground color or vice-versa with configurable width and sensitivity. You are permitted to choose how close a color must be to the designated color in order to be replaced. This feature alone has saved me hours of tediousness, permitting a wide sweep of the brush without fear of altering undesired portions of my graphics. The Undo Brush is equally effective, allowing a user to undo selected portions of the last action, rather than having to undo the entire process.

 	The Paint Shop Pro 3.0 Text Tool has an outstanding anti-aliasing feature. I’ve never seen anything better for smoothing font curves and details, no matter what the color combination! Check out the remarkable difference in quality in the example on the right. For this example I used the Monotype Corsica Bold Italic font (14 pt.) that accompanies the MS Professional Office Suite. The only difference in PSP settings here is the use of the anti-aliasing feature in the lower example. As they say, “The proof is in the pudding.” The Smooth Brush, as its name implies, smoothes edges and contrast in adjustable strength, style and width. The Sharpen Brush naturally has exactly the opposite effect.

PSP Browser

A bonus included in the Paint Shop Pro 3.0 package is the PSP Browser, presented as an option during the installation of PSP 3.0. This is a visual file program that uses an “album-and-thumbnail” format to assist in accessing and handling your image files. The PSP Browser supports all of the same image formats as Paint Shop, except for the RAW format. You will find most of JASC’s Image Commander functionality available here, with one major exception: gathered information and results cannot be saved.

In brief, PSP Browser will scour your hard drive(s) for graphic images and display them as thumbnail sketches in a window. Various search criteria are provided for and once found, the graphics files are displayed in album style for easy sorting and perusal. From here, individual files can be copied, deleted, moved and/or renamed. An array of information can also be elicited and viewed for individual files. This is a very nice adjunct for Paint Shop, and frankly, is a good teaser for the JASC Image Commander which does provide for proprietary, library style saving of this information.

Lest We Forget....

...and for those who may not have ever used Paint Shop Pro... This review focuses on the new functionality found in PSP 3.0. I have hardly mentioned the vast graphic file manipulation and image capture capabilities retained in this application. You will find herein, the ability to acquire a scanned image; to increase or decrease an image’s color depth in a variety of ways; and a plethora of features to colorize, solarize, posterize, deform, and filter images. From batch image processing to the surgical application of image masking to the subtle manipulations of hue, saturation and brightness of an individual pixel, Paint Shop Pro 3.0 literally can do it all.

Conclusion

All in all, I’d have to report that Paint Shop Pro 3.0 is as good as it gets when it comes to creating and saving raster based graphics. Though it cannot save files in vector format, it is capable of reading and displaying CDR, CDM. DRW, DXF, GEM, HDL, PIC, WMF, and WPG vector formats. Smoothness, memory management, buffering of technical detail from the end-user, ease of use -- the JASC programming team left very few, if any, stones unturned in pursuit of excellence here. “And this is Shareware?”, you ask. The answer is a resounding, “YES!!!” This is Shareware at its finest. The only difference between this and the finest commercial software available for the same purposes is as follows:

Commercial: Buy the software (in most cases for quite a bit more,) take it home, load it up, and then find out if it meets your needs. If it doesn’t... Oh well. Perhaps you’ll find another package that fills the bill.

Paint Shop Pro: Download the software from your favorite source, try it on for size for 30 days, then register it (at an extremely reasonable price, when measured against the broad functionality) if it meets your needs. If it doesn’t, at least you haven’t wasted purchase money on a product you cannot really use.

If you work with raster or bitmapped graphics on any level at all, Paint Shop Pro 3.0 is an application you need to look at. I have no doubt that you will be greatly pleased.

INFORECALL

a review by Steven Justice

InfoRecall, the application I’m reviewing this month, may remind readers rather forcibly of Info Select Express, the application I reviewed last month. Both of them are tools for recording and retrieving minimally structured data; the reminders, scraps of information, phone numbers, registration numbers, accidental ideas, and all the things that people like me tend to write down and then lose. Both feature an extremely flexible set of search options for finding the information that has already been recorded. It is some comment on the strange state of the software market that Info Select Express, a commercial product, sells for about $20, while InfoRecall, the shareware offering, will cost you nearly a hundred dollars. But if you have the money to be buying software in the first place, you want your “information manager” to fit you as perfectly as possible. Info Select Express still works best for me, but many aspects of Info Recall are nicely realized, meticulously done, and its way of handling information may work best for others.

Info Recall’s main screen is where you do almost all your work; in fact, the interface is so neatly designed that you spend less time in dialog boxes than most applications force on you:

Every item of information has a title and has text. On the left is the Records list, which displays, vertically (as here) or horizontally, the titles of all the records in a given file, in alphabetical order. (The disadvantage here is that it can display them only in alphabetical order, and cannot group them into hierarchies.) The Text area on the right includes all the free-form information within a particular record, which can be displayed by clicking on the title in the Records list. Adding a new title and note involves no more than typing a new topic name in the text box at the upper-right-hand corner, hitting ENTER, and typing in text.

This is an appealingly simple layout, which makes it very easy to find the record you are looking for by scanning the Records list, and the more you use Info Recall the more exact the classifications you learn to give your files. But then, the more you use the program, the more records you accumulate. To help you find those, there are several search tools, some quite powerful. One, the simplest, allows you to search for matches in among the record titles; since the titles are arranged in alphabetical order anyway, this is not a particularly powerful or useful approach. But the full-text search is a different matter:

From this dialog you can search the text as well as the titles of your records, and you can do so with Boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT), by date or number, or by “fuzzy” criteria (which here means “sounds-like” searches, the sort you do when you can’t remember the spelling). The searching is not lightning-fast, but it is quick--much quicker than, say, searching through an equivalent mass of material on a word-processor.

But while Info Recall is helpful in finding your data, it is also helpful in collecting and organizing it, and in using it once you’ve found it. It is easy to enter, group, and collect your data: the program will time and date stamp your records, and there is a template to ease the entry of names and addresses. You can group related information in its own file, and keep all your files for ready access by means of the combo box near the top of the screen. The program also allows you to link related information by means of a rudimentary hypertext system: type in a record the title of another record, all in capital letters, and you’ve created a link. Double-click on the capitalized word and you go straight to the record. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible--not entirely impossible, just almost impossible--to link to a record that has a space in the title. So if you want to do much linking, you need to use underscores to join multiple words in a title, like_this, or title them like WordBasic macros, LikeThis.

After you have found your data, the program helps you put it where it needs to go: the command File|DDE allows you to “shoot” the contents of the current record straight into any number of applications (like Word, AmiPro, and Write). This allows you (for example) to address a letter to someone you have listed in Info Recall with a single click. There is, unhappily, one big limitation on this. The DDE link always creates a new document in the application to which you send the data, so if you want to insert data from Info Recall into a Word document you’ve already started, you still have to cut and paste as you were brought up to do.

Phantech Software, which has relapsed Info Recall, updates the program frequently, and so some of these limitations might be addressed in a new release. So, too, may the oddly inflexible behavior of the text editing screen; you can apply only one character format to the text of any given record, so that if you want anything italicized, everything will get italicized. If you have a lot of messy information you want to have handy, and like a tool that allows you to structure that information minimally but be able to retrieve it quickly, this may be the tool you want.

WINDOWS GOURMET

a review by Ed Hoffman

Few things in life are as disappointing or exasperating as a meal that doesn’t come out as desired or expected. For this reason, most of us rely on recipes, rather than memory, for our more detailed or important kitchen concoctions. Regardless of whether it’s Mom’s famous Meat Loaf, Aunt Edna’s Peach Cobbler, or your own Thermonuclear Chili, we all have several favorite dishes we like to eat from time to time. To make sure these creations can be repeated, most folks maintain a collection of their prized recipes. Unfortunately, however, this is where many of us have our problems. No matter how good a recipe may be, it is not very useful if you can’t find it. As one who frequents the kitchen in the capacity of a preparer as well as a consumer, I’ve lost or misplaced my share of some really good recipes. To prevent or at least reduce this tendency, I’ve come to appreciate the necessity of organizing and administering my culinary formulations.

After searching around for quite some time for a shareware utility that I could use to store my recipes I found Windows Gourmet 1.21. This program offers an ideal combination of power and simplicity. And while only occupying just over 700K and costing less than $20.00 the program will not bankrupt either your hard drive or wallet. The program offers many of the more common features you would expect to find in a utility devoted to recipes. However, in addition, there are also a few surprises I would only expect to see in more expensive shareware or commercial offerings. The system offers considerable flexibility and is quite easy to setup and use. For these reasons, the Windows Gourmet 1.21 program is the recipient of this month’s “Works For Me” award.

Operating the program is quite simple and intuitive, using a familiar Recipe Card look and feel to display all recipes. When accessed, the program opens to its main viewing screen with a note saying that no recipe is selected. You can then access the various program functions through the menu bar or the icons across the top of the screen. If you simply wish to access a recipe already in the Windows Gourmet program, the Recipe – Find Recipe menu option allows you to search the program. Likewise, if you would like to add a new recipe to your collection, the Recipe – New Recipe option may be selected. Each of the other program options are just as simple to use. The program also comes with a selection of over sixty recipes already loaded to get you started.

New recipes may be added directly to the program, by typing in the ingredients and instructions or imported from other sources as either standard ASCII text files or in the Meal Master 8.0 format. You can export your recipes in these formats as well. When manually adding recipes, the program offers a variety of prompts to standardize your entries and to make adding ingredients simpler. The first entry, Quantity, is self evident. However, a drop-down dialog box with the Unit entry allows you to standardize your descriptions. Everything from Bunch to Tsp. is listed here. Or, if you wish, you can type in your own descriptions. Unlike other offerings that force you to enter information into obscure fields, this program is very free form and you can set up your recipes whatever way you wish. There is even a Heading Row option to help organize your listed ingredients. This is quite useful for those recipes that have more than one preparation within the recipe. Here, for example, you can separate the ingredients for a sauce from the main dish without very much added effort.

The Meal function within the Windows Gourmet program allows you to group specific recipes together for dinners or special occasions. A Shopping List can then be prepared based on the recipes in the meal and the numbers of people expected. The program automatically adjusts the specific amounts of ingredients on the shopping list to suit the crowd you expect to feed. This option also works in reverse, so if you get a recipe for 5 gallons of sauce from your favorite restaurant, the program will reduce the quantities to a more rational size for your family of four.

All in all the program is very well done and though unlikely, should you need help, the on-line help system is also first rate. If you find yourself playing around in the kitchen from time to time, you’ll want to take the Windows Gourmet program for a test ride. I’ve certainly found it much easier to keep my recipes organized in this program rather than stuffed in drawers or the odd assorted cookbook.

PUZZLE POWER

a review by Thom Foulks

“You could really get addicted to these,” said my wife.

Oops, now what, I said to myself before answering, “Uh, I don’t want to get addicted to anything. What are YOU getting addicted to?”

“These crossword puzzles on this new CD-ROM. They’re very good!”

Mind you, my bride of 30+ years doesn’t say anything is “very good” without ample forethought. In this case, her devotion to the Sunday newspaper crossword puzzle far exceeds that of mine to the Denver Broncos. Even on Sundays when I give up watching the NFL, she’s still at the dining room table, plodding her way through a dictionary, an encyclopedia, and the puzzle.

“What disk is that, dear?”

“It’s called ‘Puzzle Power’ and it’s multimedia with graphics and sound, and hundreds of New York Times puzzles, and I can even make my own puzzles. And it’s really easy to use. And I even installed it myself!”

Now, THAT did impress me -- my wife has been using word processors since the ’80’s, but she still regards her Cheetah 486 as an overgrown typewriter, and tolerates Windows only because she likes its screen-savers. So, her motivation to install and try a disk in the multimedia “install” I gave her for a birthday present, had to be great.

I reached for the “Puzzle Power” box. As soon as I started reading, I saw what had attracted her -- she could design her own puzzles. That’s a goal she’s had for ages; to put her own topic-oriented puzzles into the monthly newsletter she edits for a professional organization. There were other puzzles as well, like kriss-kross, cryptograms, and word search.

“Puzzle Power” has two puzzle-creating utilities, one for Windows and one that operates nicely from DOS on a VGA system. The DOS module, “Puzzle Master,” has the New York Times puzzles -- 100 of the big Sunday version and 400 of the daily variety. It is the more powerful of two at creating puzzles, intended for “professional” puzzle makers -- but it also requires more forethought, so that puzzles have a true, symmetrical “pro” look.

But you’ll likely find the Windows-based puzzle maker more fun to use, like my wife. It allows linking a puzzle to WAV sounds, AVI video files and BMP bitmap images to represent the puzzle’s theme. That gives you the power to turn a crossword puzzle into a multimedia showpiece. Creating the puzzle itself is easy. You can type in words and definitions on-screen, or you can import a list from an ASCII word processor file laid out in a simple “word: description” layout. The software calculates where words can fit properly and does the full layout for you. You can edit the layout for visual attractiveness -- then, send the whole package to a graphics printer.

The Windows modules install easily via a SETUP program, creating their own program group of five distinctive icons. The onscreen action is smooth, easy-to-follow -- whether the games are easy is a matter you’ll have to judge.

“Honey?” My wife was still busy at the keyboard.

“Yeah?”

“What’s a six-letter word for ‘habituate’?”

“‘Addict,’ dear.”

SPYWORKS-VB

a review by Brian T. Kinkel

SpyWorks-VB is a product that defines its own category. It is not a traditional custom control like Sheridan’s DataWidgets or Apex Software’s TrueGrid Pro. Instead, it actually extends the Visual Basic environment by giving the programmer increased access to the Windows API. With plain-vanilla VB, a programmer can use about 70% of the Windows API calls. However, powerful subclassing and callback functions cannot be used without additional tools. SpyWorks-VB gives you subclassing, callback functions and far more!

However, increased access to low level API functions does come at a price. The Windows API is a complex beast and it is often difficult to find the right function. Using API functions also makes your programs more susceptible to General Protection Faults and other errors. Because you are dealing directly with the API, it is easy to pass a bad parameter and bring Windows down around your feet! SpyWorks-VB is not a tool for the faint of heart. It is recommended that you have some exposure to the Windows architecture and API before using this tool.

The most powerful components of SpyWorks are the subclassing VBX files. When you add the sbc.vbx to your project, you can subclass virtually any form or control. Subclassing is a method of intercepting messages sent by Windows and Visual Basic. Messages are very similar to events in Visual Basic. Hundreds of messages are used by Windows to track mouse activity, detect keyboard use and notify applications when certain processes need to be handled. By intercepting messages, you can change the default behavior of controls and forms. This gives you the ability to do things with VB that are often packaged as custom controls. For example, by subclassing a menu bar on your form, you can provide help messages in a status bar as each item is highlighted.

SpyWorks-VB provides four custom controls that add subclassing capabilities to your projects. The generic SBC.VBX can be used with almost any custom control or form. The SBCEASY.VBX control provides bare-bones implementations of popular requests from VB programmers. This control creates tiny captions, Corel Draw! style rollup windows, scrollbars for forms, adds system menu items and adds global mouse tracking. The SBCKBD.VBX gives the programmer more control over the keyboard. If you need even more control, use the SBCHOOK.VBX to add advanced subclassing through Windows hooks.

The system also provides a callback VBX. Many Windows API functions are callback routines that cannot be used with plain VB. A good example is the EnumFonts() call. The EnumFonts() function provides a great deal of information about installed fonts. I use this routine in many of my own applications. But to use it, you need the callback-enabling CBK.VBX control. I don’t know much about callback internals, but the SpyWorks-VB package made using the sticky EnumFonts() call a breeze. The screen shot below shows a few of the Windows API callbacks that it can handle.

SpyWorks-VB also comes with a full suite of system level utilities for the Visual Basic programmer. Included are SpyMsg for monitoring window messages and events, SpyWin for examining the hierarchy of windows in the system, SpyMem for detailing memory and resource usage and SpyParam for watching parameters as they are sent to the API. Many similar shareware and commercial utilities exist, but most are built for C compilers and can’t track messages and parameters sent by VB. DesaWare also includes the Visual Basic source code for the included programs!

This system is brought to us by DesaWare, a small company in San Jose, California. Their President, Daniel Appleman is considered to be the foremost authority on Visual Basic. SpyWorks-VB 2.0 ships on a single diskette with a 114 page, well organized and indexed manual. I recommend purchasing the companion book, The Visual Basic User’s Guide to the Windows API. Written by Mr. Appleman, the book organizes the Windows API into topics and shows you how to use each of the hundreds of API calls with Visual Basic. It is also a great introduction to what goes on “under the Windows hood.”

I have always had good experiences with the support at Desaware. Daniel Appleman participates regularly in CompuServe’s Visual Basic forum. He often personally replies to email sent to the DesaWare CompuServe address. You can tell the folks at Desaware enjoy their work. They share their findings and tips via a newsletter. When you send in your product registration card, your name is also added to the newsletter mailing list.

SpyWorks-VB is a rare breed of application that truly empowers the user. With SpyWorks, the programmer can overcome most of the limitations of Visual Basic. I have also found that it saves money! You can actually replace many of your favorite custom controls by using SpyWorks. With SpyWorks you can roll your own floating tool palettes and tooltips, status bars, printer controls, font controls and more. The versions you create using subclassing and API techniques are often far more powerful and flexible than traditional VBX solutions. Because SpyWorks give the VB programmer more power, you can avoid cluttering your custom application with yet another VBX. SpyWorks-VB easily stands above the grids, programming widgets and report writers that populate the Visual Basic tools market.

PAGETOOLS

a review by Ed Hoffman

PageMaker 5.0 is one of the most powerful page layout and publishing programs available for today’s computers. Virtually any type of publication you may wish to put together can be easily handled with this program. Despite the power and functionality of this program, like many other popular software programs, the programmers that created PageMaker 5.0 did leave some room for improvement. One area in particular where PageMaker is somewhat of a chore to use is wading through the various menus trying to find the specific command you need. Though, in time, anyone who uses the program will eventually master these locations, a simpler interface could help make the program easier to use. Likewise, simply learning the program can also be quite time consuming. Here the PageMaker 5.0 program documentation is very good, but again, a more streamlined reference tool would greatly help those users that only infrequently need to use the program.

If you, like me, only use PageMaker 5.0 now and then, you’ll definitely benefit from a group of tools that can make both a novice and professional desktop publisher more productive. The PageTools 1.0 program is a collection of utilities that add considerable power and functionality to the PageMaker 5.0 program. Basically, rather than add much to the base program, these additions allow you to use the features that are already part of PageMaker to their fullest. Unlike other very specific utilities or additions that typically work well for very high end applications, these utilities address many of the features and functions most often used in the basic PageMaker program.

 PageBars

The PageBars addition is the heart of the system, adding toolbars to PageMaker, like Microsoft Word for Windows. The program ships with several stock bars you may wish to try out, or you can create your own custom bars. With these bars you can access over three hundred commands with a single click. You have the option of using a single PageBar, or you may wish to setup multiple PageBars for some projects.

 PageMover

The PageMover utility is a very useful addition to PageMaker. This option allows you to simply and easily move objects to the pasteboard or to other pages within your document. Here you can either copy and paste or cut and past the selected objects. You can also use this feature to clear the pasteboard to reduce your overall file size.

 PagePreview

With PagePreview you can instantly see if you have the right publication open. No more opening several different publications just because you’ve forgotten the name of the publication you need. This addition shows you the first five pages of any PageMaker publication in the Open dialog box. These previews are automatically saved as you save the publication.

 PageAlign

Simply positioning object correctly on the page can sometimes be quite a chore with PageMaker. Now, however, with the PageAlign option, all the objects on the page can be quickly and easily positioned where you what them. An illustrated preview shows you exactly how the changes you’ve made will affect the look and arrangement of your page.

 PagePrinter

Though the basic PageMaker program offers a powerful printer dialog box, more often than not, you’ll find you need additional functionality. Printing selected pages, for example is often quite troublesome with PageMaker. Now, with the PagePrinter addition, you can select specific pages in your publication from a scrolling list of page numbers and a thumbnail view of the pages. Simply click on the desired pages and a check mark appears beside the number. When you select the print option, only these pages will be printed. The date and time each page was last printed are also displayed for your reference.

 PageGuides

The Page Guides available in PageMaker can certainly make setting up a document quite easy. But, simply, moving, copying or removing these guides from selected pages can often prove to be more trouble than it’s worth. The PageGuides addition not only simplifies this process but, allows you greater control over the page guides in your publication. Even routine tasks like positioning guides in the center of each page are much simpler with this utility than with the basic PageMaker program.

 PageScaler

The PageScaler utility gives you control over the size of objects, graphics, and text in your publication. The height and width of selected areas may be scaled proportionately, or differently, as you wish, while maintaining the proper aspect ratio of the original document. Objects may be resized from 10% to 3000%. The objects can also be scaled as needed, in increments of .01.

 PageScripts

Scripts are one of the more powerful and useful features of PageMaker 5.0. Virtually any repetitive task can be automated using scripts. However, though powerful, the scripting function within PageMaker can be a hassle to setup and use. With the PageScripts addition, however, this powerful time-saver is greatly simplified. You may either create your own scripts, or use any of the dozens of scripts furnished with the program. Once written, any script can also be assigned to a toolbar, making them instantly available for your publications.

 PageColors

Changing the colors of objects in a publication is actually anything but simple if you have a rather large document. Now, however, with the PageColors addition, this process is as simple as the find and replace option in the story editor. Simply specify the old and new colors for the selected objects and this utility finds and changes all occurrences in your document. Even colored text is easily switched throughout your whole document. These changes can be made one-at-a- time or all at once.

 PageThumb

The PageThumb utility allows you the option of viewing selected pages of your publication without leaving the page you are presently working with. So, rather than jumping around in your document to compare page arrangements, your complete publication is instantly available as individual thumbnail views. After locating a specific page, should you wish to move to this page, simply clicking on the thumbnail view automatically moves you to that page.

The PageTools program is unquestionably one of the best add-ons you can ever consider for your PageMaker program. This collection of utilities will both simplify your document creation and will make the basic PageMaker 5.0 program more intuitive and user friendly.

WINCOMM PRO

a review by Ed Rasimus

Sometimes a “suite” of software is a smoothly integrated merging of several applications from a single software manufacturer bringing together many functions under a single interface, taking advantage of the economy of scale that allows the various parts to share the files and libraries of a master program. Sometimes a “suite” is merely a big box that allows for packaging of more than one product from a company. The former is good, but the latter is not necessarily bad.

Delrina’s Communications Suite 2.1 is not really a suite. It is a package that brings together the company’s flagship WinFax PRO 4.0 for faxing and their less well known communications software, WinComm PRO 1.1. It would be nice if the package were more tightly integrated under a single user interface, or if the installation would recognize the modem and comm ports once for the total install process, but that doesn’t happen. What does happen, however, is that the buyer gets a pair of very capable, very well executed software items for meeting all of his or her fax/modem needs. This month we will take a look at WinComm PRO, the telecommunication half of this dynamic duo. In a future issue we will return for a look at WinFax.

 	Installation is not complicated, but it is not as straightforward as some programs. A careful reading of the “readme” file as well as reference to the Setup Guide documentation will ensure the process goes smoothly. If you use an alternative desktop such as Norton or PC tools, you will have to revert to the Windows Program Manager before installing. If you run Windows for Workgroups 3.11 you will have to make a couple of INI file adjustments to your communication driver parameters also.

WinComm PRO employs an “auto detect” system during installation to identify the comm port in use as well as the make and model of your fax/modem. Once identified, the program will apply an appropriate initialization and reset command string for your hardware. Unfortunately, the pace of technology development is such that there is a high probability that if you recently purchased a new high-speed modem your hardware will not be identified. And, as unlikely as it might seem for a “suite” product, WinComm PRO did not share the same list of hardware as WinFax PRO. The installation, identification and initialization for the fax and the communication software items were totally independent. Your best bet, is to install the software with the manual for your modem close at hand. You can then manually select one of the “generic” Hayes-compatible settings and enter the manufacturer recommended initialization commands.

After installation, things get a lot better. WinComm PRO is well documented, both in manuals and on-line. The interface is clear and intuitive. Once you recognize the unusual terminology of referring to a dialing directory entry as a “session” you will have little difficulty getting down to business.

Dialing directory entries can be imported from most popular shareware and commercial communications software. Unfortunately, or maybe intentionally, the program did not recognize the formatting of the updated ProComm Plus/Windows 2.0 software I had been using. Earlier versions of ProComm, both DOS and Windows were supported. The included dialing directory offers default “session” entries for a number of commercial on-line services such as CompuServe, Genie, Delphi, Dow-Jones, MCI Mail, and AT&T Mail. Customization of the directory is available with options to suit the most finicky user. Display is available in icon or table form in a variety of priorities. Managing your dialing directory has never been easier.

Each entry can be individualized with its own initialization string, modem parameters, default directory locations, transfer protocol setting, etc. The terminal display can be adjusted for colors, fonts and size so the amount of squinting at the screen is drastically reduced. The customizable button bar is among the clearest and simplest I’ve used, allowing immediate access to the most common program functions as well as links to those other applications that you might want during an on-line session.

Scripting for common on-line tasks is done in C rather than a proprietary language, so it is possible to automate most anything you might want your communication program to do. Best of all, there is an “auto” script creation capability that makes it possible to automate logon for your routinely contacted BBS’s without having a single clue about how to program. Merely turn the script record feature on, go through the logon procedure entering user name and password where requested, then save the procedure when completed. Next time you call that board, the script will run automatically and you can save wear and tear on your input devices.

Dialog boxes throughout the program are well designed and provide a wealth of information about what is going on. Overall, the graphical interface is one of the finest features of WinComm PRO. During connection, as well as during upload and download the user is kept fully aware of what is going on.

Some of the noteworthy features of WinComm PRO includes a text editor window to compose and edit messages prior to sending during on-line “chat” sessions; a “HyperGuard” on-line virus detection mode which scans incoming files for more than 300 common viruses, and a built-in GIF viewer to display graphics while they are being downloaded. Delrina Internet Messenger provides off-line e-mail message management for sending and receiving through dialup connections with local Internet providers, and there’s a host that functions as a mini-BBS, allowing other users to call into a home computer to read mail, access files or conduct on-line “chat” all under password protected access restrictions set by the WinComm PRO user.

There are some rough edges, however, in the way I typically use a comm program. I was frustrated each day by the fact that I couldn’t establish a calling group of the BBSs that I visit regularly. It is possible to group “sessions” for calling in order, but the group cannot be identified and retained. Every morning you have to “control-click” each of the icons to reform your calling group. Then, when the group is activated, each time, the user must choose to “connect with all sessions in turn” from a dialog box. It is not possible to reset the default to the preferred method of operation. Frustrating.

As for Internet Messenger, I was unable to establish a “mail” connection with either of my Internet service providers. It’s possible that starting from scratch without an Internet account and using the pre-scripted scenario to one of Delrina’s available services might be more successful. Personally, I’ll continue to get my E-mail through Eudora (Internet shareware mail gateway.)

Bottom line is, despite its shortcomings, I like WinComm PRO. I like the interface, I like the information displays, I like the easy access to customizing, I especially like the auto-scripting. I’ve been using it as my default communications program for nearly four months now and it will probably stay on my desktop for the foreseeable future. As a stand-alone product going against ProComm Plus/Windows 2.0, WinComm PRO is in a draw with pluses and minuses for each product. As a bundled package with WinFax PRO, it becomes a bargain that is hard to overlook.

SMOOTH SCALING

a review by Bob Gollihur

With every issue of Windows OnLine, we play the Graphics Game. In order to accommodate our readers viewing at 640x480, we have to keep the size of our graphics no wider than 610 pixels, lest they scroll off the screen. Large graphic files also play havoc with the overall size of WOLR, so it’s something about which we’re very conscious.

This Graphics Game often comes down to minute and tedious editing to reduce the size of the image to standards of reasonability. Sometimes we try to resize them using popular graphics programs, but results are seldom acceptable and they require exhausting pixel play to make them sufficient for our needs. Sometimes we simply have to eliminate them in the name of economy. Yes, it’s unfortunate, but our winning percentage playing the Graphics Game is not that good, and certainly no fun at all.

WexTech, the folks who produce the Windows Help system Doc-To-Help must have encountered the same problems during help development. They have provided a wonderful solution in the form of Smooth Scaling.

This new product takes BMP and DIB images in 16 or 256 colors and uses an anti-aliasing process to reduce their size without reducing overall legibility. If you have used any of the usual graphics programs that have resizing options, you’ve found that fine detail is eliminated, as single pixels simply disappear. Smooth Scaling restores pixels that are ordinarily lost in the reduction process.

As is often said, seeing is believing. The images below were reduced to 75% of their original screen capture size. The first was resized using a popular graphics program, the second using Smooth Scaling. The results speak for themselves.

Smooth Scaling can exchange images with Windows Clipboard as well as directly load BMP or DIB files into its multiple window (MDI) interface. Operations are simply carried out using the menu items or button bar. Images are temporarily converted into a native format, you chose a percentage of reduction, and the file is processed. The more complex the file, the longer the wait. Your new file is delivered in another window, and can be saved as in BMP or DIB formats. There’s even a batch mode for reducing groups of files.

Results will vary with the image being scaled, as the example above demonstrates; some areas are handled better than others, but legibility over regular reduction techniques is not an issue. Smooth Scaling wins hands down. The only weakness is in the color of one area because of the anti-aliasing techniques used, but I must mention that graphics of 16 color origin were being used in these examples. Graphics of 256 colors fared far better in our testing of the system, and results were very impressive.  WexTech recommends that images that will eventually be reduced to 16 colors first be resized in 256 colors, if possible, prior to color reduction (without external DLLs, Window Help can handle only 16 color bitmaps). However, if the 256 color graphic doesn’t look good reduced to 16 colors in its original size, don’t expect this program or any other to improve the situation. Another hazard that was revealed in testing and documented by WexTech is that some 16 color graphics turn mostly green upon reduction. Again, starting in 256 colors or some post-conversion touching up in a graphics program can resolve the problem.

We are, by and large, very pleased with the results gotten from Smooth Scaling. You’ll see examples of the use of the technology in Wolly’s column this month and in future issues. The program is available direct from Wextech and through selected resellers.

PageMaker 5.0 for Windows for Dummies
PAGEMAKER 5.0 FOR DUMMIES

a review by Ed Hoffman

Though it may be difficult to be excited about another computer related reference book, the PageMaker 5.0 for Windows for Dummies really is a different kind of reference text. As part of the Dummies Series of reference books, this text is written first and foremost to be readable and understandable.

Starting with why a program like PageMaker is necessary and a guided tour of the program, the text quickly has the reader feeling confident enough to take the program for a test drive. The examples and exercises used throughout the text are detailed enough to keep the more experienced users interested, but not so complex that a novice can get lost.

Virtually all the major features of PageMaker 5.0 are well explained and illustrated. Most of the lessons are devoted to real life examples of documents typically put together in PageMaker. Even the more esoteric topics like creating tables of contents and the various methods and forms of indexing are well defined and clearly explained. One area that I found interesting was handling hanging indents. Even the PageMaker documentation is a little fuzzy on this one. But PageMaker 5.0 for Windows for Dummies did a good job of telling me the simplest way to accomplish this task.

There is a section on fonts and type that helps demystify this topic. If you have problems figuring out the more detailed terms of desktop publishing like kerning, leading, points, and such, this section will be of real interest to you. The authors even devote a few pages in the back of the text to showing the ten typefaces that no one can live without.

A cheat sheet is included with the book to act as an instant reference for the more common keystroke commands. This should prove to be quite useful the next time you need to put a simple bulleted list together. Rather than running to the book to find how bullets are added, simply consult the cheat sheet to find that CTRL + SHIFT + 8 or ALT +0149 (on the numeric keypad) are used for bullets.

The authors, Deke McClelland and Galen Gruman, have done a first rate job in making PageMaker 5.0 much more understandable. If you ever use PageMaker 5.0, you should keep this text close at hand.

PageMaker 5.0 for Windows for Dummies can certainly help make anyone working with PageMaker 5.0 more productive. As one who uses PageMaker only for occasional projects, I’ve come to really appreciate the understandable, no-nonsense approach it offers.

Wolly RealWorld
Wolly looks at many cool shareware programs (and a lot of turkeys, too). But some programs strike him as really special — a real world application with a real world use. In Wolly’s opinion, this is one of them.


SWAuthors
Want Your Program Featured or in the Shareware Briefs??

Each month Wolly and our Staff Writers look at newer programs that have been posted on Windows OnLine™. Your program could be included. How???

UPLOAD or your creation to Windows OnLine™ by calling 510-736-8343 immediately upon availability; snailmail* if you must. Join the AUTHORS’ HAVEN Conference #2 (J 2) and leave a message to ALL or an individual writer, just a "Hello" or to solicit a review. If you plan to be a more frequent visitor and correspondent with our Staff, leave a message to Senior Staff Writer Ed Hoffman or Editor Bob Gollihur to be upgraded to a half-hour daily, automatically maintained as long as you call in every six months.

Mail registered copies (which will be offered to the staff), and supplementary material such as press releases, etc., to the Editor at the postal address shown:

     Bob Gollihur, Editor    WinOnLine Review Editorial Offices

     Seven Baywyn Drive, Ocean View, NJ  08230-1060

     (609) 624-1470 - fax (609) 624-3646

     CIS 71334,2065  -  bob.gollihur@wol.com (do not e-mail files)

*If you must snailmail rather than upload, address shareware disks with files zipped and ready to be posted, to: Windows OnLine, PO Box 3487, Danville, CA 94526

Late betas may be submitted but only final copies will trigger a review publication. Mail early for arrival coincident with your program upload to Windows OnLine™. Submission is no guarantee of a review, but all current Windows shareware newly uploaded to WIndows OnLine appears in the New Files column.
