A Professional’s Desk Accessory Set Plus Six Great Utilities.
MOCKPACKAGE … A PROFESSIONAL'S DA SET FOR PRODUCTIVITY IN AN INSTANT.
How often have you been in the middle of a big, complex document and found that you needed to run a quick pie chart?
Perhaps you had to make a quick note about something. Maybe you remembered you needed to check your mail on CompuServe.
Your only choice has been to quit what you're doing, go to the Finder and open up a chart program or communications or word processing program.
Or… you could do it all from the DA menu with MockPackage Plus.
HERE'S WHAT YOU GET:
MockWrite‚Ñ¢
Need to make a quick note about tomorrow’s meeting? Need to quickly compose a letter while your thoughts are fresh. Think you’ll be adding to it throughout the day?
The Apple Notepad just doesn't have the power you need.
MockWrite does.
MockWrite lets you create, edit, read, paste and print text files. On the fly… anytime, anywhere.
While using any application, you can jot notes, look things up and revise documents.
Like we said… handy!
Use MockWrite to make “To Do Lists”, take phone notes or even document programs while they’re running.
You can instantly print your MockWrite notes or… copy them to the clipboard to use them in another program.
Just pull down the Apple menu and get to work.
MockTerminal‚Ñ¢
Need to check mail on CompuServe but don't want to leave your current program?
Do you need some text transfered to a remote computer?
How about simple communications. Do you need a simple dumb terminal quickly?
Let MockTerminal do it for you!
Since it's a desk accessory, you can open it, dial it and send it without leaving your program.
What's more, if the file takes a while to send, you can go back to work and let MockTerminal do its work while you do your work! It works in the background on many programs.
MockTerminal isn't limited to text files, though. Since it uses “Xmodem and MacBinary” protocols, it can send any kind of file, regardless of type … conveniently, quickly, easily.
Don't worry about frequently called numbers. MockTerminal holds seven phone numbers that can be dialed with a click.
It works well in reverse too. Anything you receive can be copied into the clipboard or saved and dealt with later.
Clipboard text can be pasted through the terminal program, rather than typing it live.
It's not fancy and it’s not full of exotic features, but as a good, convenient communications program, it can't be beat.
MockPrinter‚Ñ¢
Sometimes getting a document to paper can be the slowest thing you'll do all day.
Suppose you had a long text file that you had to have a copy of. You can open MacWrite‚Ñ¢ or Word and print it, while you wait (and wait, and wait).
Or, you could use MockPrinter and let it all happen with lightning speed while you go about your business.
MockPrinter can handle either a LaserWriter‚Ñ¢ or ImageWriter‚Ñ¢ with equal ability.
It works in the background; you don't have to leave your current program. There is no limit to the size of the text file you can print.
Just look at the control it gives you over those text files.
Select characters per inch, add a header at the top of each page, print multiple copies, select paper sizes, tabs and more.
Having this kind of control over text printing is phenomenal!
And what really counts is the speed and the time you save. Because all this happens in the background.
MockChart‚Ñ¢
Working diligently on a spreadsheet or just crunching a few numbers?
Want to know how they look graphically?
Need to make some comparisons?
The best way is with a chart. You could always quit what you're doing and open up a sophisticated chart program.
Or, you could open MockChart and see it instantly.
But once you're through looking at your handy chart, what do you do? With MockChart, you could paste them into any number of programs.
In fact, if you're working in a page layout or word processor, MockChart is invaluable.
It quickly and easily formulates and pastes all kinds of charts. Basic pie charts, bar charts, line charts, Hi-Lo-Close. So you can make charts for anything… stocks, profit and loss, etc.
Did you ever enter a bunch of numbers and wonder how they would look when you got around to charting them?
MockChart lets you flip back and forth between numbers and charts in an instant!
MockChart let's you plot up to three columns of 100 numbers. Changing chart size is easy, too. Just grab the sizing box and resize them the way you want them.
… PLUS UTILITIES:
In addition to the four outstanding MOCKPACKAGE desk accessories this value-packed disk contains four great utilities… including the one you've all been “Aasking” for…
Aask‚Ñ¢
How often have you needed more memory and found your Macintosh loaded with Inits, Startup Devices, etc.? We've solved that problem for you.
With Aask, you can selectively turn on and off Startup Utilities such as: Inits, Control Panel Devices and Chooser Devices.
AND SO MUCH MORE…
Control-1‚Ñ¢
Do you constantly find yourself using one Control Panel Device (cdev) all the time (like QuicKeys), but have to scroll through a bunch of them to get to the one you want?
Control-1 enables you to specify which cdev is active when the Control Panel is opened.
FolderShare‚Ñ¢
When using AppleShare, it's easy to forget to set privileges when creating a new folder on an AppleShare volume. FolderShare remembers for you. It automatically creates folders with your most often used privilege settings.
EZ-Menu‚Ñ¢
Do you ever get tired of holding down the mouse button to get menu items to drop down? Do you think you could really speed things up if you didn't have to work that way?
We think so.
Updated and rewritten as a Control Panel Device, EZ-Menu lets your mouse automatically pull down the menus when the cursor is moved into the menu area. It has also been enhanced to include keyboard control of menus.
Most people find they work significantly faster with EZ Menu.
WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE? YOU COULD!
FREE BONUS:
LaserStatus‚Ñ¢
A desk accessory that monitors PostScript‚Ñ¢ printers. Lets you reset, download fonts and get info on things like memory, fonts and more. Lets you know who's using the LaserWriter‚Ñ¢, too.
Widgets‚Ñ¢
A potpourri of useful utility functions. Disable laser startup page, convert PICT to Paint (or vice versa), create custom startup screens, print laser thumbnails of all Paint files, change System heap size, reset the date and time and much more. Like we said… a bunch of handy utilities.
THE WRAP UP.
Sure, you could use Excel™ or Cricket Graph™. And… yes… Red Ryder™ is a fine program. You’ve seen any number of word processors.
But have you ever had them all available from the Desk Accessory menu? Have you ever been able to use them without quitting the program you’re in?
Probably not.
With the outstanding MockPackage DAs, you’ll be able to perform basic tasks with ease and speed.
And with all the new additions your Mac will become a fully customized, high-performance machine.
