Editorial
by Dale Rodgie and Ann White
Welcome to another Apple-Bug. This is another
information packed edition. Firstly we have introduced a
Help Line column. It lists members you can contact if you
need help in certain areas. Please note the times listed next to
their name and only call within those times. If you wish to
help other in the group, contact me and I will include your
name in your next Apple-Bug.
I would like to thank Todd from Computer City for the
Press Releases on the new Apple products and the transcript
of the speech from John Sculley. Todd has also just received
a shipment of 200 programs. The price of these programs
have been slashed. In some cases by up to 80%. Talk to Todd
day as these will not last long.
A few members rang last month asking if the General
Meeting was on Easter Sunday. We have the meeting on the
third Sunday of every month except December.
What you missed Last Month
In the April meeting, myself and Vince did a
demonstration on Hard Drives. Vince had planned to build
format one at the meeting however the two Hard Drives
ordered for the demonstration did not arrive until after the
meeting. (I am happy to say that mine is great!) Vince
demonstrated how to build the drive with a faulty drive. I then
followed up with some information on how to organize your
Hard Drive to get maximum performance.
John Finch will do a demonstration on Hard Drive
maintenance in July.
Apple-Bug Back Issues
We have a number of Apple-Bug back issues available.
Bernie has packaged them in packs of 11 and they are
available from the Trading Table at this General Meeting. The
packs are selling for $5.00. Stocks are limited, so get in fast.
May Demonstration - Education Software
Ann White will be looking at software applications with
reference to Primary and Special Education age groups. She
will be illustrating the points she makes using brief
demonstrations of specific software packages.
+ Examination of reasons for choosing particular software
programs
+ Ways to link this software with aspects of current
curricular programs
+ Ways to extend the computer activities by
(a) addition of personal/specific data to computer programs
e.g. spelling lists, science terms etc.
(b) creating sequential experiences with similar programs

Beginners’ $.1.6. & "Hands-On" Activities
At the Committee meeting on Monday, 16th April, the
problem of providing assistance to the new users of Apple
machines in the absence of the actual hands-on experience was
discussed at length! It was felt that new and inexperienced
users are unlikely to be successfully "walked through" a
problem at an abstract level, even if their description of the
problem allows for accurate identification by the “old” users.
It has been decided that we will TRIAL a “hands-on"
approach with computers and software being brought to the
4 Apple-Bug

out our cupboard and found a number of
Apple manuals. If you bought your Apple second hand and
did not get all the manuals, check them out at this General
Meeting. We are selling them for just $1.00 each while stocks
last. They cover the Apple Ile, Apple 5.25 drive and many
more titles. Also we have a number of Applesoft
programming manuals available for just $20.00 each.
Disk of the Month
We have another jam packed Disk of the Month section
this month with disks available for the Apple II, Apple IIgs
and Mac. First for the Apple II's we have the first Prodos
Utility Disk. I have included many utility programs for hard
drives on this disk.
For the Apple IIgs we have two Programmers Disks. The
first disk contains a number of sample programs from
Apple's Developer Technical Support. Source code is
included with all the programs so you can these features in
your own programs. Most of the source code is written in
APW Assembler. The second disk contains more of the
source code from Developer Technical Support plus some
helpful programming utilities.
To order, see Sheryl or Dale at the Software Library Table
at the General Meeting or fill in the order form on the Disk of
the Month Liftout in this edition. The Mac disk can be ordered
from John Finch at the General Meeting or ordered by mail as
per the Apple II disks. This month's disks contains the
following:
Macintosh Disk of the Month
This month we have another "Disk of the Month." This
1"
disk contains many new "INITS" (An INIT is a program that
Tuns automatically at initialisation time, and remains active
until you switch the machine off.) "CDEVS" (CDEYs are like
INITS but you can control them via the "Control Panel") an¢
some “Desk Accessories." I have not been able to test :
review all of the items on this disk - there are quite a few, bur
to whet your appetite:
Init - "Earth" puts a small spinning earth on your menu bar
in place of the apple. It does not do anything, except spin, but
it does look cute and adds a bit of class to your desktop - if
you like hanging dollies inside your car windows you will
love this!
CDev - "Scroll" allows you to reconfigure your scroll bars
and change rate of scrolling and change direction from either
end. If chasing from the scroll "up arrow" to the “down
arrow" annoys you then the solution is to hand.
Desk Accessory - "Snapshot." Last month I discussed
taking making a screen dump by the "Command-Shift-3,"
This does not always work, especially with Mac IIs, This
desk accessory allows screen snaps to be taken and saved in
( Thanks to Computer City for the use of their LaserWriter to print this newsletter. )

several formats. This is only a demo version - where you are
only allowed a limited amount of use. You have to register to
get the full version.
With this disk you also get a bonus, your 800k plus an
extra 200k of the latest anti-virus programs. This includes
“Gatekeeper,” the protection against the new types of virus.
The details are in the documentation.
Prodos Utility Disk #1
Disk.Test - This program test disk drives, It performs three
tests and reports the results in seconds on the screen.
Pups.System - Pups is another great utility program. It
features a program selector, calendar, and disk/file utilities.
However it only works in the main (root) directory on a disk.
SmartBoot - Allows an Apple II family computer to boot
ProDOS 8 on a disk device other than the ordinary default
fe, This is helpful when it is inconvenient or impossible to
switch the position of disk controller cards to change the boot
disk drive. In addition, SmartBoot will boot toany device on
a Smartport chain (not just the first one).
SwapSCSI - SwapSCSI is an add on Basic.System
command that allows the user to swap logical drives around
ona givenREV C Apple SCSI card. It provides a means for
ProDOS 8 users to access other volumes on a hard drive with
more than two partitions.
Vanilla - The Plain Vanilla Hard Disk Utility is
sophisticated and powerful. It is designed to let you format
and partition hard drives connected to an Apple SCSI card in
any Apple //gs, Apple //e, ot 64K Apple II Plus.
MouseDesk V1.1 - MouseDesk is similar to the Finder on
the Mac or GS. It is a complete utility program in one. It
requires an enhanced Apple Ile (or later) and a mouse.
GS Programmers Disk #1
Shell - This is a simple desktop program to show how to
start and shut down the tools. It also shows how to use the
yent loop. The source code is written in both C and
Assembly Language.
AnimDemo - Three techniques are used to animate the
objects on the screen. All these methods are supported by
Apple.
BoxCtrl - How touse the controls on windows.
CustWind - Shows how to use your own custom windows.
Diog1 - Shows how to code dialog boxes and controls.
Jiffy - Use this method to speed up the drawing of window
contents.
Lists - This is a Line Edit and List Manager demo.
Lister - Lister lists your source code on paper using the Print
Manager routines.
GS Programmers Disk #2
PlaySound - Shows how to play digitized sounds at
different speeds.
Math - Learn how to use the SANE Tools set with this ~
Program.
Menus - Create custom menus - add, delete and colour your
menus,
Print.Spy - Shows the status of the Print Manager.
GS/OS Exerciser - Exercise calls to GS/OS before coding
them.
Prodos 8 Exerciser - Exercise those Prodos 8 calls.
Exerciser.DA - Same as GS/OS Exerciser but ina CDA.
LoadDump.DA - Get information on the System Loader.
Mangler.DA - Monitor and control the Memory Manger
with this CDA.
Scrambler.DA - Scramble memory CDA.
GSBug - An object code debugger.
PunkWare Macros - These macros were inspired by the
super macros for Merlin 8/16 that were written by David
Klimas for Roger Wagner Publishing. As soon as I saw them,
I knew that | had to have macros like that, so I sat down and
re-wrote the toolbox macros that came with the Orca/M
assembler for the IIGS. Once you start using PW Macros in
your programs you'll wonder how you ever got along without
them. They make Apple IIgs assembly language programming
easier and faster than ever before.
Source Code - I have included the source code for nine
desk accessories, both new and classic. Some are written in
Pascal and others in Assembly Language. .
Apple News
Dataflow Catalogue Available
The new 1990-91 Dataflow catalogue is now out. It is
packed with some 386 software titles available through
Dataflow. What interested me was that over 77% (298 titles)
of the titles listed run on the Apple Il and/or Ilgs. The Apple
I] lives and is as strong as ever. Apple II Forever!
Compactor for the Macintosh
Diamond, Version 5.0, The Compactor for Macintosh,
developed by SOFT Technologies of France. Diamond is an
extremely efficient packing/unpacking utility which has
enjoyed great success in Europe and is much more efficient
than any similar Macintosh utility.
It is much easier to use than its competition, and does not
require complex decisions about whose algorithm to use.
Diamond uses a pull-down preference menu with a few check
boxes. Compaction is offered at 3 levels, depending on how
much compaction versus speed of compaction is required.
Compaction can reduce the original file to as little as 20%
of the original, although 30% is the norm. Competitive
products compact to about 50%. The time of compaction for
the most dense level is about the same as other products.
Unpacking is super fast - 800K in about a minute on a Mac
6
SE, and only seconds on a Mac IIci. Overall, Diamond is 5-
10 times faster at unpacking. Unlike others, Diamond can
pack hierarchical folders, with perfect restoration of
everything, including colour of a folder, or scroll bar
position. Diamond can retain the Finder information, putting
folders back exactly where they came from.

File Force is released
Acius Inc. recently released File Force, a general-
purpose relational file manager. Designed to compete in the
file manager market, File Force is the first program that
offers the simplicity of basic file managers with the power
and sophistication formerly seen only in high-end relational
databases.
File Force offers all the basic features that users expect to
see ina file manager - searching, sorting, and reporting. But
File Force is also a full-fledged relational filing system. It is
ideal for small businesses that need a database to manage
transactions - billing and invoicing, for example.
File Force includes a powerful forms generator with a
palette of layout and drawing tools. Standard interfaces and
Teports can be created from layout templates built into the
program, and users can optionally create custom interfaces
that use automatic buttons and icons.
Additionally, File Force includes a quick report editor
for creating columnar reports with summary information
(subtotals, means, and counts). Special editors for mailing
labels and business graphs are also included.
The suggested retail price of File Force is $395 (US).

A/UX (v2.0) Announced
A/UX Version 2.0 was announced recently. It allows
users to work with UNIX through the Macintosh interface
and permits simultaneous operation of Macintosh, X Window
and UNIX applications. AU/X's features include Macintosh,
UNIX and X Window applications share the Macintosh
desktop; text may be cut and pasted among Macintosh, UNIX
and X Window applications; access to the AppleTalk
network; Commando, the UNIX command line builder, runs
UNIX utilities using a menu; a mouse-based text editor
facilitates access to UNIX text files & support for 32-bit
QuickDraw, provides true colour and grayscale capabilities.
This version of AU/X runs on the Mac SE/30 and all the
Mac II computers (Mac II requires the PMMU chip) and
supports the new Apple graphics cards. AU/X will be
available from mid-1990 on 80Mb hard disk, Apple tape
cartridge and CD-ROM disk.
Apple-Bug
Apple Extended Keyboard Il released
The Apple Extended Keyboard II is ergonomic and
therefore easier to work with. It has all features of the Apple
Extended Keyboard, which it replaces - it has the same layout
and the same feel as its predecessor, and works with any
Macintosh II or Macintosh SE personal computer. The
ergonomic design includes a slide lever which allows the
angle to be adjusted between 6 and 14 , depending on the
needs of the typist. It comes with a reversible template that lets
you label each function key when using utilities like
MacroMaker, or macro-supporting applications.
Macintosh Display Cards released
The Macintosh Display Card 4+8, 8+24, and 8¢24GC have
been released. These three Apple display cards support all
Apple displays by "sensing" what display is attached to thes
and configuring themselves accordingly. Each card
compatible with NuBus and greatly increases the standard of
graphics on modular Macintosh computers.
The Macintosh Display Card 4*8 and the Macintosh
Display Card 8°24 support all Apple displays. Using the
Macintosh Display Card VRAM Expansion Kit, you can
upgrade from 4*8 to 8°24. The Display Card 8+24GC
combines the capabilities of the Macintosh Display Card 8°24
with the power of a dedicated graphics coprocessor to provide
sophisticated graphics capabilities at very fast drawing speeds.
It contains an Am29000 RISC-based microprocessor that runs
an enhanced version of QuickDraw. The Am29000 and the
Macintosh CPU work together to speed the QuickDraw
environment-from five to 30 times depending on the
application. As a result, graphics-intensive applications work
faster and more smoothly, especially when using full 24-bit
* colour.
High Speed SCSI Card released
Just before going to press, I learned that the Apple II High
Speed SCSI Card is now available. It is available at all lo
Apple dealers. Also the older Apple II SCSI Card is selling
for just $150.00.
QBD Sale
While in Brisbane at Easter, I walked into the Queen Street
store of QBD. They have a large range of Apple manuals for
the Apple Ile, IIgs and Mac. The best thing about it was they
gave me a 10% discount.
BCF Opens a New Store
Talking about book stores. BCF has just opened a new
store on the Gold Coast. It is in the new section of the
Australia Fair Shopping Centre. I have not ventured in there
as yet but if it anything like their Brisbane store, it will be
great. You should also be able to get a 10% discount on
presentation of your Apple-Q Membership Card.

Macintosh Mumblings
Safe Computing
by Grant Gillespie (Editor MAQuill)
If you suspect infection or just wish to check, to be on the
safe side . .. run Disinfectant 1.6 from a locked floppy, read
the instructions and click the Scan button. Check your hard
disk and ALL your floppies to be sure.
Disinfectant is the best supported and most effective
Public Domain (ie. FREE) anti virus programme. It also has
the best documentation (click Help button) containing
EVERYTHING you'll need to know about viruses and to
relieve any anxiety about how they work and will you ever be
safe again?
Some Advice
When you get a new software package lock all disks
IMMEDIATELY!! Lock all original disks BEFORE you use
them and NEVER unlock them unless their copy protection
system requires you to. Remember to re-lock them
afterwards. This is your best protection.
The best thing to do with an infected file is to erase it (put
it in the Trash, choose Empty Trash from Special Menu) and
replace it with a copy from a "clean" original.
If you simply cannot get a clean copy, Disinfectant 1.6 will
repair files for you.
A Milligram of Prevention
Two other preventative measures should be taken. In.
possible to trap a virus as it attempts to do some mischief,
Two Inits (put them into your system folder and Restart),
Vaccine and Gatekeeper Aid will alert you to any nasty
activity. Vaccine may some configuring in your Control
Panel.
Finally
+ READ THE DOCUMENTATION IN DISINFECTANT!
+ Install Vaccine and Gatekeeper Aid
* Keep all original disks locked at all time!

Macintosh Ilfx
Apple Computer Press Release
The new Macintosh IIfx is the fastest Macintosh for all
existing Macintosh applications. It offers more power with
CAD/CAM, scientific data analysis and visualization,
commercial publishing, financial management, multimedia
production and artificial intelligence and enables the user to
work with interactive 3-D animation and photographic quality
image manipulation.
Features:
+ 40Mhz 68030 microprocessor and 68882 floating-point
coprocessor. The Macintosh IIfx runs up to 100 percent
faster than the Macintosh IIci, and up to 300 percent faster
than the Macintosh IIcx and Macintosh IIx computers.
+ Built-in 32K static RAM (SRAM) cache stores the
processor's most frequently used instructions.
+ Dedicated SCSI DMA (Small Computer Systems
Interface/Direct Memory Access) channel which reduces the
workload of the main processor and speeds performance of
the SCSI bus.
+ Dedicated 1/0 processors increase system efficiency,
* Six NuBus expansion slots can Accommodate multiple
video, communications,
networking, and other expansion cards.
+ Processor Direct Slot (PDS) allows direct access to the
system bus.
+ Six built-in ports: two serial ports, two Apple Desktop
Bus ports, stereo sound jack, and a DB-25 SCSI interface.
+ 512K ROM on SIMM includes support for 32-bit
QuickDraw and A/UX-supported functions such as: 32-bit
addressing and virtual memory, which extends the computer's
internal memory by transparently treating the hard disk as
though it were RAM.
System Software
Macintosh operating system version 6.0.5 (shipping with
the Macintosh IIfx and available to all users in June 1990) is
required for the Macintosh IIfx. Note: Although System
6.0.5 is compatible with all previous Macintosh models, it
offers no increased functionality over previous versions.

degree of assurance in the handling of critical information.
*Note: Parity must be ordered at the time the Macintosh IIfx
is ordered; the system cannot be upgraded at a later date to

Apple ll High Speed SCSI Card
Apple Computer Press Release
The Apple II SCSI card significantly increases data
transfer speed between Apple II personal computers and
SCSI devices such as hard disk and CD-ROM drives. The
card works with the Apple lle and Apple IIGS personal
computers and is compatible with all SCSI devices. It
provides the fastest data throughput possible for Apple II
users. Using direct memory access (DMA) data transfer, if
offers speed improvements of up to 10 times faster than that
of the previous Apple II SCSI Card, which it replaces. The
new card also comes with software utilities for use with hard
disk and CD-ROM drives.
Users with a hard disk drive and the new SCSI Card will
see a significant speed improvement when using large
software applications, such as AppleWorks GS, or large data
files.
Features and benefits include:
DMA Data Transfer -- on the Apple IIGS computer, data
can be transferred at a rate of up to IMB per second. On the
Apple Ile computer, data can be transferred at a rate of up to
.SMB per second, There are four switches on the
card. One is used to set DMA on or off. The other three are
used to set the SCSI identification number of the card - each
SCSI device, including the computer, is set to a unique
number from 0-7.
SCSI Compatibility - compatible with all SCSI
devices, the Apple I High-Speed SCSI Card requires only
that device-specific applications and drivers be installed on the
system. The card comes with drivers and applications for
hard disk and CD-ROM drives.
On-Board Terminator - simplifies setup for the user
when connecting SCSI devices to the computer. The user
simply places one terminator at the end of the chain of SCSI
devices,
Utilities - comes with improved hard disk utilities that
partition and verify hard disks, and backup information. The
Partition and Verify utilities take advantage of the improved
firmware commands for hard disk drives. The Backup utility
is now able to handle the resource forks that are part of the
IGS files, These are all ProDOS utilities and can be used by
both Apple Ie and Apple IIGS users. In addition, the CD-
ROM desk accessory for the Apple IIGS, CD-Remote, comes
with the card.
System Requirements
The Apple {I High-Speed SCSI Card works on an Apple
JIGS personal computer or an Apple Ile computer with a
65C02 microprocessor (note: older Apple Ile's, that have a
6502 microprocessor, will need to upgrade with an Apple le
Enhancement Kit). The Apple IGS requires a 3.5-inch disk
drive, while the Apple Ie requires either a 5.25- or 3.5-inch
disk drive. Both require a device with a SCSI port,
appropriate SCSI cabling, and one SCSI terminator.
There is no upgrade program for owners of the previous
Apple II SCSI Card.
A new Apple li Magazine is coming soon...

GS Workings

Resources and System 5.0
As many of you are aware, System 5.0 has brought with it
the advantage(?) of Resources, What are resources?
Basically, most files created within System 5.0 have two
segments, or forks. One is the data fork, the other the
resource fork. Take for example, a GS/OS application. The
data fork contains all the bits that do all the hard work, the
actual program code itself, the nitty-gritty. The resource fork
contains things like text strings, windows with controls, alert
windows, tool startup code, and things like that.
Also appearing with System 5.0 are things called resource
editors. Just as their name suggests, they are used to edit the
resource fork. One of these is TML Pascal JI, from TML
Systems. With these editors, you can change displayed text,
rearrange windows and their controls, change the tools they
startup, and so the list goes on.
Without the resource fork, the program is lost, and will
surely crash! This doesn't mean all programs have to have
Tesource forks though. Older programs written in System 4.0
will run quite satsfactorily.
Well then. Resources sound like great things, don't they.
Apple-Bug
There's just one minor problem, though. Current packing
programs, such as Shrink-It!, can't pack the resource fork.
‘They come up with an error $4B ( unsupported storage type ).
This means that if you want to upload a program which has a
resource fork, you can't. That's because most terminal
programs will also bork at the resource fork.
So, what can you do? How can you pack and/or upload
files with resource forks?
The solution I've come up with is to copy the offending
files to a 3.5 inch floppy. You can now get out your trusty
packer ( I use Shrink-It! V2.1 ) and pack the entire disk.
Don't try to pack the indivdual files or you'll get errors. You
can now upload the packed file, no problems, It's a simple
task for the receiver of these files to use Shrink-It! or similar
to recover the packed disk.
There's got to be a better way, though. So I'm asking all.
of those developers out there to write some software fo handf
packing files with resource forks. And you can throw in
something to pack all ProDOS format disks (ie: Hard Disks!)
If you have any questions you would like discussed here,
or some ways to get out of trouble, like this, please write to
me at this address:

WordPerfect for the Apple //GS:
WYS\(pretty much) WYG
by Richard L. Taylor
WordPerfect is a full-featured word processor newly
released for the Apple [IGS by the WordPerfect Corporation.
The product comes on three 3.5-inch disks. The second two
disks include a Speller. a Thesaurus, and utilities for printer,
interface, font, and file conversions. Based on their highly
successful program for the IBM PC, WordPerfect
Corporation's newest version has nonetheless been fully
reconfigured to make extensive use of pull-down menus in a
mouse-based interface. Though the documentation doesn't
specify a minimum hardware requirement, the program ran
fine for me with one 3.5-inch drive and my Ramdisk set to
allow 512K RAM. (Using the Thesaurus, though, seemed to
Tequire more memory.) Also, an RGB monitor allows the
user to take advantage of the program's use of colour
enhancements.
Though it uses the graphics environment of the IIGS to
display and manipulate documents so that "what you see is
what you get,” this is a text processor, and it does not deal
with graphics or use the printer's graphics mode for printing,
Thus, the printed output is much faster, but you do not have
the wide selection of fonts and styles that a graphics program
would allow. However, this won't matter too much if you
agree with Tom Weishaar of Open-Apple, that "th
ImageWriter's built-in proportional text font wins every time.
In ali, WordPerfect is probably the most fully featured word
processor available for the Apple II. It is not copy-protected
(thankfully), so it can be installed on a hard disk or in a
Ramdisk. The list price is $179, but you can buy it at Mr.
Micro for $125.
What I wanted to know about this program is how it
compares with the ones I already use, namely AppleWorks
and AppleWriter, So let me start by giving you a list of
features that match or surpass AppleWorks;
1. This is a WYSI(pretty much)WYG word processor. With
WordPerfect, what you see is closer to what you get than with
the AppleWorks word processor, but less than in a truly
graphics-oriented program. Control codes are all hidden, and
the effect of margin changes and the like are seen on the
screen more or less immediately. But, as with AppleWorks,
all fonts, pitches, and styles look the same until they're
May 1990
printed. Unlike AppleWorks, though, the WordPerfect screen
does show underlining and bold print on the screen. And any
printer control is allowed embedded in the text, hidden from
the screen: Like the AppleWorks' Zoom function, Option-S is
used to show the codes for editing. But the coded text is
shown on the lower half of the screen, while the formatted
version is shown at the top.
2. The Help menu is incredible! If you ask for help by
selecting "Help" under the apple, you open a window that
lists all possible commands. You can use either the mouse or
the cursor arrows to scroll through this list to the command of
your choice. Hitting Return then activates that command, But
the real power comes in this way: Say you want to insert a
footnote, but you can't remember the code. If you enter
"Control-F" (for the first letter in your command), the help
window opens up with a list of all commands that begin with
(file management, flush right, etc.). You can then use the
mouse or the arrow keys to scroll down and highlight
“Footnote Create." Or, if you're in a hurry, just continue
typing "o" and the highlight bar goes to "Font & Pitch”, the
first listing that starts with "Fo", then another “o", and
"Footnote Create” is highlighted. A Return then opens the
window where you type in the footnote.
Every function works in this way! You can access all the
functions in at least four ways: (1) you can use the menu bar
to drag open "Footnote," and then point and click "Footnote
Create;" (2) you can open the help window with the mouse;
3) you can use the alphabetical control key to access the help
window; or (4) you can use a keyboard equivalent for the
function. Not every function has a keyboard equivalent, but
WordPerfect lets you create your own keyboard equivalent!
So if, while “Footnote Create” was highlighted in the help
window, I had hit "Option-N," then from then on "Option-N"
would be listed in the help window as the keyboard
equivalent, and I could just punch "Option-N" to open the
footnote create window, anytime. WordPerfect gives you
“somplete freedom to reassign any keyboard equivalents and to
se whatever mnemonic that appeals to you. How's that for
help?
3. As long as I've mentioned footnotes, WordPerfect takes
care of these for you. Or you can use endnotes just as easily.
The program numbers the notes sequentially for you, taking
care of the numbers if there are deletions or insertions. You
have full control over the format of the footnotes (numbers,
asterisks, superscripts, etc.)
4, Search and Search & Replace are pretty normal, except
that you can search for various control codes, including
returns. To search for a control code, you use the Help menu.
To search for a margin change, for instance, you open the
search window and type "Control-M" (and typing or moving
the highlight bar), until "Margins" is highlighted. A Return
will insert that code in the search string, The same works with
Replace. What I don't understand is why you can't search for
"Tab" or “Hard-page" or some other codes. You still are not
VW
allowed to search for everything, as you can with a program
like AppleWriter.
5. Full file management is allowed from within the program.
This includes delete, rename, subdirectory create, disk format,
lock & unlock, and volumes online. "Look at" allows you to
display the contents of any text or WordPerfect file without
having to load it to your desktop (though you can't "look at”
AppleWorks files.) Surprisingly, it even lets you view $C1
PIC files! Again, you can scroll through a list of files, or you
can just begin typing the one you want. The highlight bar
zeros in on your choice as your typing narrows the field. And
when the right file is highlighted, you just select the function
you want performed.
6. You can work with several documents on the desktop
simultaneously. As I write this review, I also have my outline,
a list of features, and a list of gripes. I just switch back and
forth to remind myself of where this is going. Since each
document occupies a window that can have various sizes, you
can have more than one on the screen at once. However, the
windows cannot be smaller than a half screen either way, and
the margins stay constant, so you have to scroll back and forth
to read normally-formatted text.
7. You can have two different headers and two different
footers to use under different conditions through the
document. For instance, you can have page numbers on the
Tight side of odd numbered pages and on the left side of even
numbered pages, so that when they are bound front and back,
the page numbers are always on the outside. Also, you can
specify a binding width, so that extra room is allowed on the
left side of odd-numbered pages and on the right side of even-
numbered pages. Thus, when the document is printed front to
back, the binding, or punched holes, don't interfere with the
text. This is luxurious! Additionally, you can temporarily
suppress any of this for a current page, if things are different.
8. A Speller and a Thesaurus are included, and they are used
online while in the word processor. The speller has a two-
level dictionary (words often used, and those less-often used)
to help speed the process of searching through a reputed
115,000 words. When it finds a word it doesn't recognize, it
automatically supplies suggestions. But you can hit "Ignore"
anytime you like, and it will stop what it's doing and go on to
the next word. When the dictionary is in a Ramdisk, it is
pretty fast. But it isn’t nearly as accurate as Sensible Speller,
often not figuring out what word I mean at all. And when
running off a floppy disk, spell checking takes an eternity!
The Thesaurus is speedy and comes up with a nice list of
synonyms, But it seems to need more memory. When I
launched from the Finder and 512K of RAM, the Thesaurus
refused to run, With the Finder and 900K, it works fine.
9. WordPerfect IIGS uses colour! When the disk comes out
of the box and is first booted, the text is light gray on a
medium blue background. While this is OK for AppleWorks,
it just didn’t look right to me, here. Well, WordPerfect allows
you to pick whatever colours you like, I chose a mundane but
12
utilitarian black on white, When I put a word in boldface, it
appears red on the screen. And inverse bold I made green on
black. This-is kind of fun!
10. Macros can be built from any combination of keystrokes.
The macros are stored in a file, so they can have any
ProDOS-compatible name. Or they can be designated by an
apple button and a single letter. (These are separate from the
keyboard equivalents.) You can have a macro run
automatically when the program is started. You can chain
macros together, and you can make their execution dependent
upon certain limited conditions,
11. Some other things WordPerfect does: semi-automatic
hyphenation (now this is really neat!), Mail Merge, Double
underlining, Conditional end of page, Tab align on a character
(to keep a column of numbers with all the decimals lined up,
for instance), spacing in half-lines (which is great for
equations!), overstrikes and automatic selection of sentence,
paragraph, or page for copying, etc.
With all these features you might be worried that this
program is a monster to learn. Well, the manual is big enough
for an extended mini-series on TV, but most of the features
seem pretty natural, and someone familiar with the IIGS
interface, and word processors in general, will have little
trouble getting started. But the manual is necessary to make
use of the more advanced features. The manual has a full
series of tutorials using sample files on the WordPerfect Disk.
After working through these exercises, the user will have
used nearly all of the available functions and should feel
pretty confident in using this program. Furthermore, support
from the WordPerfect Corporation seems excellent. I started
with an older, non-mouse-based version (v 1.1). A call to
their 800 number brought a quick response and a no-charge
no-question update to v 2.0.
WordPerfect has so many well-thought-out features, it's
hard to understand why there are so many dumb things:
1. The worst part of WordPerfect, and the problém that took
lots of time to fix, is the screwy way it does printer control
codes. Each printer choice can have eight fonts. For the
ImageWriter Il, these include NLQ (default), Draft, Pica
Proportional, Correspondence (twice), Double Width,
Condensed Half-height, and 9 characters per inch. There are
no elite proportional, 17 characters per inch or alternate-
character sets, fonts I use extensively. Further, these choices
are not actually listed anywhere! In the "Font & Pitch”
dialogue box, you are asked for the font number you want to
use (from 1 to 8), with no list of what numbers | through 8
mean, In the "Printer control" menu (not anywhere near the
"Font & Pitch” menu) is the list of fonts, All eight fonts are
listed the same, as simply "Line printer." There is no way in
the program, the utilities, or the documentation, to find out
exactly which font is which! You can print a "Font.test" file,
and from the result try to figure out what's what. Or you can
use the extensive utilities and the ImageWriter Technical
Apple-Bug
Reference Manual to examine the control codes that are used
for each font.
It is a mark of the versatility of WordPerfect that I could
change those codes to the ones I wanted, and also change their
names to something descriptive. Since I want to use an
alternate character set (in teaching physics. I use Greek letters
a lot), had to remove the printer initialization that starts each
printout, since that erases the extra character set from the
printer's memory. But still, when I want to change fonts, I
have to look up the names in one menu, remember the number
of the one I want, and select it in another menu. There is no
documentation to cover any of this. I'm now pretty much an
expert on this, but I never wanted to be! There is really no
excuse for a program being this user-unfriendly.
2. Being able to switch between multiple documents on the
desktop is really handy, but again it is the document numbe=
you are asked for. The names of the documents are n
available, so you have to remember which file is which
number.
3. When you show codes in the bottom half of the screen,
pointing there with the mouse seems to produce confusing
results. And if there are lots of contro! codes, the "Show
codes” screen loses track of the cursor,
4. Margins are done in characters, not inches, causing
proportional fonts not to line up. I'd like to be able to use
either.
5. Macros cannot be edited. If you don't like your macro, you
must start over from the beginning!
6. The numeric keypad is used for cursor control, not
numbers. This gets confusing. The 5 key is HOME-but
nowhere does it say why it's called HOME, and what that
does. (It seems to have no effect except to precede other
keys.) There is an IBM-style num-lock, so you can use the
keypad if you like. But I forget, and every time ! try to punch
in a zip code rapidly with the keypad, the cursor suddenly
takes off and goes flying around the screen-mos
disconcerting!
7. File conversions exist for AppleWorks files that work quite
well. But converting AppleWriter files (if there are many
control codes) is slow and tedious. This is because it is
difficult in WordPerfect to search for these control codes.
8. While you can have several files on the desktop at once,
you have to load them one at a time. This becomes very
frustrating very fast. I've gotten used to AppleWorks letting
me load, save, delete, etc., several files at once. It seems
awkward to be limited to loading one at a time when you're
encouraged to have several on the desktop at once.
9. The button on the scroll bar does not vary its size as the
document grows. From other programs, I'm used to the
button size giving 2 visual representation of the file length in
elation to screen size. I miss that here.
10. I cannot find any way to abort a Search & Replace. After
downloading some files, I wanted to replace all the carriage
May 1990 ==
13
retums in a certain section of text with spaces. | started at the
beginning of the passage, told it { wanted it to check before
each replacement, and all went fine. But at the end of the
passage, 1 couldn't stop it! You just have to answer "no" at
the end of every line, all the way to the end of the document!
11. While it's true that the entire program loads into
memory, the functions use temporary disk files, and, unless
you use a Ramdisk, you will get very tired of the delays.
For the last month and a half I have put AppleWorks and
AppleWriter aside, and I've used WordPerfect everywhere |
could. I've really given it every possible advantage, and I feel
that I've gotten as comfortable with it as ] can, But I feel I'm
always fighting with it, trying to drag it along with my
writing. I'm always having to look up a printer number, a
document number, or a font number. It seems a constant
struggle.
I think that everyone who is really serious about word-
processing must eventually graduate to a program-that gives
teal control over the words (and the printer) like WordPerfect
does. But WordPerfect makes me think that the authors of
IBM programs are just not aware of the logic and ease of use
to which Apple users have become accustomed.
J would not buy this program unless I had a compelling
need for the special advanced features that it offers. Even
then, I think I would do my writing with another program and
import it to WordPerfect to add footnotes, set binding width,
etc. This is a beautiful and powerful program, but it just isn't
finished, yet. Alll in all, I'm relieved that this review is over so
Ican get back to AppleWorks and AppleWriter, where writing
is easy.

Onerr Goto Message Routine
by Lee Reynolds
Some readers have undoubtedly made use of the ONERR
GOTO statement in their Applesoft programming. This
capability of the language is very useful for what is called
"trapping" errors, instead of having to put up with the
alternative, which is to have the program bomb when an error
occurs. For those readers who are not acquainted with the use
of this statement, here is an example: suppose one of the
functions of a program was to DELETE temproary or
unwanted files from a floppy disk. Presumably, the name of
each file to be DELETEd would be known to the program,
either because a set name was programmed in beforehand, or
because the program would request the name from the
operator. Now, what happens during the execution of this
program if (1) you get a read error on the disk, (2) the file was
not found in the catalog, or (3) the file was there, but it had
been LOCKed? Without an ONERR GOTO routine,the
program will "bomb" and you will be returned to Applesoft
after the appropriate DOS error message has been displayed.
Tf the delete command is preceeded by the statement:
100 ONERR GOTO 25000
then an error condition will cause the program to GOTO line
25900 instead of bombing. in this example, line 25000 is the
beginning of the "error trapping” routine.
One of the first things your program will want to do at line

25000 is to determine what type of error occurred. This can
be determined by examining the contents of memory location
222 with the PEEK function. The error handling routine may
also be used to determine the line number at which the error
occurred; the guilty line is given by the expression LINE =
PEEK (218) + PEEK (219) * 256. (The same error could
happen in different parts of a program, and the manner by
which it is handled may be dependant on the line number
where it occurred.)
The three different cases alluded to in the opening
paragraph above can be identified by PEEK (222) having
three different values: 8, 6 and 10. An IF statement could test
each of these cases and, when true, take appropriate action.
_ For example, an I/O error in case (1), might be handled by
simple PRINTing some satement and then STOPping. In
case (2) of FILE NOT FOUND, a message could read "File
Not On This Disk. Please Insert Proper Disk and Hit
Retum", then when the operator had followed instructions,
the program would go back and try to delete the program
again. In case (3) of "File Locked", you might display a
message like "File Locked. Do You Want It Deleted? (Y/N)",
and then, depending on the Operator's answer, do whatever
is necessary to unlock and delete it, or continue.
If some other error than the above thre cases had caused
your program to GOTO line 25000, then the value of PEEK
(222) would be something other than 6, 8 or 10. The value
returned depends on the error encountered. There are two
general categories to consider: (1) other DOS errors like
"Write Protected", or (2) Applesoft errors, like "*** Syntax
Error" or "Redimensioned Array". You can find which
values of PEEK (222) correspond to which error conditions
by reading page 81 or the Applesoft manual or page 114-122
of the DOS manual.
There are a total of 15 possible DOS errors and 17
Applesoft errors. It is not usually necessary for an “error
trapping" routine to have to test for all 32 possibilities, but
instead just to display the appropriate message and then
STOP. If you had an IF statement that tested for all 32 errors
, and printed a message similar to the Applesoft or DOS
message, that would be a lot of wasted code. It would also
be unnecessarily space-consuming, for you would be
_ duplicating the message already in the computer, Therefore,
Apple-Bug
the routine listed below may be of value. It PEEKs at the
locations DOS or Applesoft use to store these messages, and
then PRINTs the needed message one character at a time
(although it prints so fast that the entire message appears at
once.)
The starting address for the first Applesoft Error Message
is set in the variable ASADDR by line number 25010. This
value only applies to Applesoft in ROM (an Apple }{ Plus or
an Applesoft Basic card). The same line in the accompanying
listing also sets the address for the first DOS error message in
the variable DOSADDR. This value is for DOS 3.2 or 3.3 on
a 48K machine.
If you want your error-trapping routine to process certain
errors in particular ways (not by just PRINTing the message
and STOPping), then the appropriate logic could be inserted
between lines 25010 and 25100.
