=====================
This issue overflows with a review of WriteNow 3.0, the syllabus
for a free online course, "Navigating the Internet," and an
alternative view of the Duo. We also crammed in some short
announcements, including news of Disk First Aid 7.1, which fixes
the disappearing files and folders bug, a letter about font
clone piracy, and a warning for CPU users who have a
just-released PowerBook. Tune in next week for all the great
stuff that wouldn't fit!

Mark Johnson, keeper of Apple's anonymous FTP site announced that
Disk First Aid 7.1, which fixes the disappearing files and folders
bug, is now available on <ftp.apple.com> in the directory:
/ftp/dts/mac/sys.soft/hdsc/
[We strongly recommend that you run this new version of Disk First
Aid on your hard disks. You never know when that disappearing
files and folders bug might bite you, and even if you have System
7 Tune-Up 1.1.1 installed, the damage may have been done before
you installed Tune-Up.]

Font Clone Pirates
Carter Scholz writes, "I'd like to add something to Mark Nutter's
review of SoftKey's KeyFonts package in TidBITS#146. Mark writes,
"...the fonts aren't the genuine fonts from the original designer.
Rather, each font is a clone of the original." This means, of
course, that SoftKey is not paying royalties to the designer of
the font. Although this practice is technically legal in the USA
(one of the few countries in which type fonts are not protected by
copyright law), it is ethically bankrupt. A well-designed font can
take man-years of effort. Hermann Zapf, the designer of Palatino,
Optima, and many other beautiful fonts, from whom SoftKey has
stolen their "Palamino," "Optim," and "Chancery" has long
attempted to educate type users on this point. From the designer's
viewpoint, a "clone" is even worse than outright theft, because
the clone is usually a poor copy that corrupts the designer's work
while depriving him of compensation."

atob/btoa Translator
Numerous people informed us that StuffIt Deluxe and StuffIt Lite
3.0 come with a defunker for the atob/btoa format (along with many
others) that we mentioned last week. I'll have to check my copy of
StuffIt Deluxe to figure out what my problem is.
CPU and the new PowerBooks
Conrad Halling wrote to tell us of problems with Connectix's CPU
utility and the new PowerBooks. If you have one of those machines
and CPU, send in your registration card, because Connectix has a
free upgrade for registered users of those machines. In the
meantime, Conrad reports that CPU's LCD Saver doesn't work if you
switch screen depths, and there appears to be a problem with the
backlight coming back on after it has dimmed.

Navigating the Internet: An Interactive Workshop
------------------------------------------------
[We think so highly of the idea of a free, electronic, workshop
given over the Internet that we couldn't resist including this
announcement. We'll be curious to see how well it works, being one
of the first courses provided worldwide over the Internet,
breaking down numerous physical, geographic, temporal, and
financial barriers. Kudos to the brave souls running the course!]
16-Nov-92 through 11-Dec-92

WriteNow 3.0 Review
-------------------
by Tonya Engst -- TidBITS Editor
Looking for a useful word processor weighing in at 287K on the
hard disk and consuming 490K of RAM? Take a hard look at WriteNow
3.0 from T/Maker. Looking for a word processor that sorts,
computes, charts, slices and dices? Look elsewhere. WriteNow's
features fall short in a few important areas, but what it does do,
it does with a rare attention to detail.
First, a little background. I know Word cold. I use Nisus
casually, and frequently listen to Adam's opinions about it. I
used WriteNow 2.0 several years ago as my primary word processor.
So if I don't mention MacWrite or WordPerfect, it's due to lack of
information. In addition, another WriteNow user, Tad Davis,
contributed some information. Let's look at WriteNow's especially
good features first.
A manual to die for
The manual's authors avoided corporate-speak and used a clear,
conversational tone. The manual includes word processing basics
that most TidBITS readers can skip and an excellent conceptual
discussion of how WriteNow ticks. Details show up in a reference
guide to the menu commands, an extensive trouble-shooting chapter,
and a useful appendix. The appendix offers specific information
about file conversion, label templates, and a bundled Date Control
Panel that allows you to change the Macintosh system date to
virtually any format.
Stylish styles
It's becoming fashionable for word processors to offer character
styles, and T/Maker has implemented character styling wonderfully.
T/Maker's programmers carefully considered the interaction between
character and paragraph formatting, and paid attention to creating
an easy interface. For example, assigning keyboard shortcuts to a
style is trivial - in the Style dialog box, you simply pick from a
pop-down menu of the available keyboard shortcuts. WriteNow
indicates current style usage via unobtrusive pop-up menus in the
bar at the bottom of the document window.
WriteNow's styles outclass those in Word (which lacks character
styles) and Nisus (which does have them, although without such a
nice interface). WriteNow's implementation is the easiest to
figure out without looking at the manual, its manual explains the
details, and it has many nice touches with only a few odd quirks.
I'd like to see an Apply button for viewing a changed style while
still in WriteNow's Style dialog box. Tad Davis objected to
WriteNow's lack of Space Before and Space After options for
styling paragraphs, which let you define consistent amounts of
white space between styled paragraphs, without typing additional
hard returns.
Peter Shank of T/Maker responded to Tad's objection, saying he
hopes Space Before and Space After styling show up in future
versions, but for now, users can work around this difficulty by,
for example, setting up a BodyText style always followed by a
SpaceBetween style with the SpaceBetween style always followed by
BodyText.
Functional print merge
The print merge works much like it does in Word, sans the Word 5.0
print merge helper, OR and AND conditionals, and tables. Without
tables, WriteNow compares poorly to Word since tables simplify
creating, error-checking, and sorting a data document (and
WriteNow has no Sort function). Also, tables simplify designing
custom labels.
WriteNow has two print merge features that I'd like to see in
Word. First, an OMIT command, which allows you to specify a
condition for a record to be omitted from a merge (i.e. omit
people under age 25). Second, in WriteNow, you need not specify
the data file. You simply type <<DATA ?Human, what data file shall
I use today?>>. When you merge, WriteNow prompts for a file with
that question.
Miscellaneous Nice Touches
WriteNow abounds with unexpected features. To create a horizontal
line, simply choose Insert Horizontal Line from the Format menu
and select from the many variations.
The Clean Up Windows command offers five different multiple-window
displays. Nisus has similar features, but Word offers almost
nothing here. Nisus can split a window horizontally or vertically
and scroll the two halves independently, a feature that WriteNow
lacks and that Word offers only on the horizontal.
Print Preview, though slow to redraw, provides a one-, two-, or
many-page view; a magnifying glass; a scrolling hand; and the
ability to click anywhere and flip back to that spot in regular
view. I especially like the icons in the Preview since they look
like the tasks they represent.
If you change printers and then try to print, many programs remind
you to choose Page Setup before printing. WriteNow reminds you and
then pops you into Page Setup automatically. In the Print dialog
box, WriteNow offers the ability to print only odd or only even
pages, something that Nisus does and Microsoft has finally added
to Word 5.1. On to the good-and-bad features.
Ruler details
The ruler, which gives audible feedback when you move the tab and
margin markers, would be great, except that it has its own window.
You have to first click in the ruler, then do your formatting, and
then click out of it.
Conveniently, WriteNow's side margins go by paragraph. In Word,
the margin applies to the entire document, and the ruler triangles
adjust the indents for individual paragraphs. WriteNow's ruler
shows literally how far from the edge things will print, unlike in
Word where you must calculate to figure out what's going on.
WriteNow has no specific top or bottom margin. These margins are
just the amount of space that the headers, footers, and footnotes
take up. This method works nicely, but I find it a bit convoluted
without the manual's explanation.
Although you can set up multiple headers and footers, and even
vary them on even and odd pages, you can't automatically suppress
them on a given page. If you want your footer to start on Page 2,
you have to wait until you know where Page 2 starts, and then
insert the footer there.
The Spell Checker
WriteNow's button-happy spell checker window consists of rows of
buttons. The top row has the usual commands, and the remaining
buttons offer suggested spellings for incorrect words, so you
can't use keyboard shortcuts to select suggestions.
The spell checker has an Ignore option, which ignores a particular
word for the life of its existence in that document. WriteNow will
still flag the word in other documents. This is better than Word's
ignoring a word for only that Word session. I'm not sure if I like
it as much as Nisus's more-flexible ignoring, which provides a
character style for ignoring text.
In an approach that others would do well to emulate, you can add
many words to a user dictionary simply by selecting them in a
WriteNow document, opening the dictionary, and clicking the Learn
button.
Grammar Checking
WriteNow doesn't have a grammar checker built in, but ships with
Grammatik Mac. It's good that WriteNow comes with Grammatik Mac,
but grammar checkers in general aren't so hot. They need to come a
long way before they will be useful tools for most people.
Not so good and downright missing:
In my experience, if you give users an inch, they'll want a mile.
Give them underlining, and they will want overline too. Give them
colors and they will want to print color separations. Give them
search and replace and they will want to search for every
paragraph having the style USER and add the word "goat," in bold
italic, to the start of the second line in those paragraphs. Users
will insist that this feature is vital and that they cannot
imagine what possessed the propeller-head programmers to fail to
put in this option. Anyhow, here's a laundry list of some features
you won't find in WriteNow.
WriteNow does columns, but cannot vary the number of columns in a
document; you can start a document's page numbers at any number,
but that's all you can do; no indexing or table of contents, no
text wrap around graphics, multiple undos, non-contiguous
selection, mathematical equations, glossary, customizable menus,
GREP-style search and replace, or tables.
A printing problem found in most, if not all, printer drivers
relates to the suggestion in the WriteNow manual for "title
pages" - it suggests that you start with a "zero" page number or
"negative" page number, depending on how many unnumbered pages of
front matter you have. The problem comes when you try to print
those pages. The Print dialog does not recognize negative page
numbers. You have to Print All and cancel after printing the pages
you want.
Conclusion
If you believe that the word processor that dies with the most
features wins, then you won't see WriteNow as a winner. If you
believe that the word processor that dies with the most grace wins
then you'll view WriteNow as a champion. As Tad Davis said, "I
have more powerful programs, but I keep coming back to this one.
It's the best electronic pencil going."
How about a WriteNow Deluxe? WriteNow 3.0 is great for new users,
people needing a PowerBook word processor, and users with simple
to medium needs. These people will enjoy the elegant working
environment that WriteNow provides. But for people who must do
indexes or slightly fancier page layout or slightly more
sophisticated search and replace, WriteNow is so disappointing.
But, if you don't need the high-end stuff, you might well dub it
the word processor for the rest of us.

Duo, An Alternative View
------------------------
by Ian Feldman -- ianf@random.se
Thanks to wonders of that modern monstrosity known as "global
marketing" we can easily second-guess Apple's intentions and judge
its image solely by creative reading between the lines. Take the
new European PowerBook Duo brochure (the doubly-folded 8-page job,
with a dock swallowing a Duo on the cover). I have it in Swedish
in front of me and am sure that other versions could be found in
many other countries. Not surprisingly, if subjected to analysis
according to principles of investigative logic learned from a Mr.
Sherlock Holmes, that brochure yields a lot of inside information
about Apple itself, and of the perception that Apple holds of the
world at large.
OK, let's start with the cover: obviously we're in a home office,
not in some glass Ivory Tower setting. Female hands with oh-so-
long fingers (nails too long for a concert pianist) fondle a Duo.
Dark wood, moody lighting, the works. What's that thing, right
next to the dock? Aha, that's a crystal ball! One with etched
outlines of the continents, a crystal-ball globe! Hmm... Apple has
designs on the world.
Conclusions of the cover: Apple can afford to hire a first-hand
(sic!) hand model for its Duo-posing. Obviously, the company feels
that a Duo is NOT the solution all by itself. You need a dock. And
there's still a place for a crystal ball.
We now switch to the inside. The headline proclaims, in Apple's
80%-squeezed, global-image-standardized Garamond type, "the best
of two worlds." A different woman's hand hovers over a stationary
dock's keyboard, frozen for all eternity in the process of
extracting a closed Duo from the slot. And you can see right
through her hand so no detail of the keyboard beneath is obscured.
Clearly, this woman is no concert pianist either, but one
afflicted by the Common Advertising See-Thru (CAST) syndrome,
that's so prevalent among people appearing in computer ads of
recent years.
Unfolded twice over we see two headlines, "Best among portable,"
and "Best among stationary," accompanied by pictures showing a Duo
230 alone and inserted into a dock. Once again, the hands shown
typing are of models with that CAST syndrome. Come to think of,
they could be hands of the invisible Chevy Chase, doing a bit of
commercial work between real acting jobs.
More conclusions: Apple can afford to hire plenty of models. Also
they're not afraid to be represented in print by individuals
stricken by modern four-letter maladies.
Here comes the coup-de-grace: along the bottom edge of the spread
there are 10 small pictures of a woman shown in what Apple clearly
considers to be Recommended Poses To Assume With a Macintosh Duo.
Starting on the left, that woman, let's call her Ann, is seated at
a table that has "Designer Desk" written all over it. She is so
totally engrossed in what's happening on the docked Duo's 14 inch/
256 color screen (32,000 with 512K of VRAM) that she has to
support her chin with one hand while womanhandling, one assumes,
the tiny trackball with the other.
Next, Ann has turned towards us to show off her shapely legs. She
has finished work for the day and is now in the process of
withdrawing what looks like a greyish pizza carton from the dock.
Soon Ann has succeeded with the task. Standing with a great mane
of Rula-Lenska-like auburn hair, she puts the Duo into an attache
case. Caution, Ann, you're doing it all wrong! You're supposed to
turn the Duo on its axis so it won't occupy more than at most half
the space inside! How else are you gonna fit the WSJ, the WWD, and
your career woman's papers there as well?
Image four: Ann has turned around and is now heading away from her
previous position, an occasion also to show her dynamic profile.
Thus we arrive at the center of the brochure. Surprise! Ann has
veered off home for a change of clothes, then headed for the park
to resume, one assumes, working for the same company that keeps
her in designer desks, dual-modality computers, and more than one
change of clothes. She now sports a yellow polo sweater, faded
jeans, and Easy Rider-model leather shoes. A scarf around her
hair, she has "casual" and "at ease with my Duo" written all over
her body. She is writing a memo to her boss, or maybe she's the
boss who's writing a memo to her underlings - it's hard to tell.
In any event she's clearly enjoying the wrought-iron park bench,
harder though it may be than her padded Designer Chair.
Never mind, we're now at picture six of ten. Ann has risen and is
once again headed somewhere. She has her Duo in a shoulder bag,
not in a briefcase. Judging by the next picture, she was heading
home where she keeps her Duo next to a monitor next to a picture
of someone obviously worth remembering and an empty(?) milk(?)
bottle.
Once again she is shown engrossed in her little new computer.
Doesn't Ann ever rest? Is she under such pressure that she has to
keep working all the time just to pay the basic bills? The
brochure doesn't tell. As in the office, she has assumed that
one-hand-under-chin-the-other-on-trackball intense position. She's
had time enough to change clothes once more, that much we can see,
and also for some remodelling of her hair so now she's not at all
unlike, say, Diane Keaton impersonating a young Katherine Hepburn.
In either case, she has clearly finished whatever she was working
on since, in the next picture, she is once again moving, same
clothes, Duo gripped tightly in her bare hand, all smile.
Next pic, we know why she was smiling. Ann is seated on an
airplane; she must've been sent off on a junket to some faraway
balmy place, all expenses paid, no excuses! As befitting someone
entitled to travel in Designer Armchair Class she is now wearing
the standard Travelling Businesswomen garb: white silk shirt,
bluish jacket, hair gathered in a bun, grey slacks, earclips,
pumps. After all, she has an image to project and maintain, her
company's as much as her own, has she not?
So where is Ann headed and for what purpose? We are let onto the
secret in the concluding picture. Ann is standing next to her Duo
that's connected to a largish monitor, obviously looked at by some
important clients. She must have brought a change of clothes with
her because the earclips are the only element that I recognize
from the previous setup. Uniform this time is standard Modern
Female Pink issue, no extras. She reminds me of someone whom I
cannot yet place. One hand on the Duo, she is pointing with the
other at the monitor with a very low-tech, wooden pointer. What a
letdown... couldn't she at least have used one made out of laser?
And what, exactly, is it that has thus far been the objective of
Ann's work activities? What is she pointing at on that 40-inch
monitor? The answer, extracted with the help of a 15x magnifying
lens and a lot of logick[tm], is a QuickTime movie of a vestibule
of the Kendall Tower building (Greenwich Square, London, England),
that this Havisham & Wemmick company is trying to palm off on some
investors in today's tight money markets. This gives her away...
our Ann is, obviously, Ann Angell, the real estate agent in charge
of that object whose datafiles are portrayed on all the
screenshots in the brochure.
Still, this brings us to the more serious matter of all that free
publicity extended to Superior Products, Havisham & Wemmick and
Nakamura and Associates, the three real-estate companies whose
names appear in Ann's onscreen data. Simple analyst though I may
be I just know that there's no such thing as free publicity in
today's complex business world. Everything is deeply
intertwingled. Is Apple already owned, or about to be taken over,
by a group of real-estate companies, perhaps with plans to use the
California manufacturing facilities to write off profits of future
shady deals? That Nakamura name is a dead giveaway. Clearly, this
is no laughing matter but one that warrants further investigation
by more competent Apple-watcher-cum-conspiracy-theorists than
myself.
Well, that's about it, folks. Now we know who Apple had in mind
when they made the Duo... real-estate agents. Oh, yes! The woman
Ann reminded me of: Molly Dodd, of the Days and Nights of fame.
Pure coincidence? You may care to remember that Molly _was_ a real
estate agent herself before giving up her job to concentrate on
the search for Mr. Right, before she met the Indian Brahmin, the
neighborhood garbage collector, the All-American pilot (the one
she left in disgust because he was too perfect for love), rejected
once again the alto-saxophonist, her divorced first husband, until
finally meeting Him in the guise of a Hassidic all-thumbs-pianist
from Williamsburg, N.Y. That's the kind of adventurous person whom
Apple obviously considers worthy of a Duo.
Thus we arrive at following Authoritative Conclusions From The
Thought Server: Apple may or may not already be secretly owned by
some Japanese real-estate conglomerate. While they're still based
in Cupertino, CA, it is nice to know that they selected Molly Dodd
to be their role model for a Macintosh Duo user. They could have
picked up Margaret Thatcher and then where would we be?
