NO DISC?
TOPAZ, SAPHIR and now the OPAL A3 desktop
scanner are three professional colour management
solutions from Linotype-Hell.
Designed to meet different business needs, they
all have one thing in common — LinoColor.
LinoColor/LinoColor Lite is the powerful colour
repro software developed by Linotype-Hell to drive
its Macintosh-based scanners.
In fact, it is the core technology used by Apple for
its industry standard colour management software,
ColorSync 2.0.
However, just because LinoColor is the
professional colour management system doesn’t
mean it’s complicated.
Tts ColorAssistant module allows
image processing.
You don't need years of experience to process
colour, just use your eyes.
With LinoColor’s LCH interface, you can adjust
colour as your eyes see it using the parameters of
luminance, chroma and hue.
Productivity is never far from the mind of the
colour professional.
That's why unattended batch scanning is
such an important aspect of the award winning
TOPAZ scanner.
Dies productivity ere considerably enhanced.
With its trilinear CCD technology so are the
advantages of high quality too.
The scanner’s double lens allows users to
optimise resolution to the size of the original.
OPAL comes with a whole range of software
packages and plug-ins including Adobe Photoshop
Full Edition, ScanLite Photoshop plug-in,
Cumulus image database and ScanOpen ICC Lite
in addition to LinoColor Lite.
With a list price of under £10,000, a repro
quality scanning solution is now well within
bureaux’, designers’ and publishers’, in fact, every
colour professional’s reach.

Inside this
issue...
‘t's 3am and I'm
still in the office,
churning out the last
few pages of
satisfaction.
Staying late at the office is not an
uncommon situation for a lot of our
readers, I'm sure. My Production Editor
is flat out in bed with glandular fever,
and I'm stuck in the Ruud Gullit sweeper
role to fill in the gaps. XPress has added
Collect For Output since | last did this,
so | can put my feet up and drain a few
cans and, like Macworld columnist
Michael Prochak (see page 55), ponder
the merits of new technology.
Michael, cultured soul that he is,
dreams of Penguin paperbacks when he
curses lousy CD-ROMs. In my current
position, with only copies of Radiohead's
The Bends and The Beatles’ Abbey Road
to keep me company, | can only wonder
when CD-ROMs are ever going to match
audio discs for long-lasting value. I've
been forced to listen to two CDs for over
‘seven hours, and have not been bored
for a moment - OK, Octopus’s Garden is
a drag second-time round, but...
In this issue we've started reviewing
a couple of entertainment CD-ROMs in
‘our new Review's Home Page (page 96).
Many of us have Macs at home, and
some of us even use them in our spare
time. Apple's new bosses (see page 36)
reckon that the so-called ‘new media’ is
a hot ticket, so we'll give it a shot - but,
Myst apart, shouldn’t Apple be thinking
a little bigger, given its present purse
‘squeezing?
The internet, yes; multimedia,
certainly; publishing, of course.
But silly CDs over serious
business ~ are you kidding,
boys... or just running
scared? Go for profits by
all means, but don’t
consign the Macintosh to
niche markets, Apple. After
all, isn’t the Mac meant to be
“for the rest of us’?

The need to get up and send a fax smack in the middle of a
thought process is at best disruptive and at worst ~ unprintable!
It doesn't have to be that way.
FaxExpress is Mac dedicated software which is as easy to install
as it is to use; it’s value for money and best of all, reliable.
The idea is, you continue working while FaxExpress does all the
legwork in the background. It provides multiple phonebooks,
delayed send, status screen and with 256 grey levels, your
graphics are rendered with superb clarity. FaxExpress is available
in both single-user and multi-user versions, operating with all
standard Macintosh applications.
There’s a whole lot more to tell... we look forward to your call!
For more information call your dealer
or Glenwarne Limited
on 01628 667702

Will Quark sink
DTP giant jitters as delays plague XPosure...
but Immedia should ship in the midyear
ot content with QuarkxPress's secure position
at the top of the page-layout heap, Quark
(01483 451 818) decided to broaden its scope
by branching into multimedia with the Quarklmmedia
XTension (previously known by the code name Orion)
and into image editing with QuarkxPosure (see News,
May 1995), brazenly entering Adobe/ Macromedia terri-
tory. Although both products were scheduled to ship
by summer 1995, neither has arrived.
Do the delays reflect trouble at Quark, or a series of
unrelated coincidences? Sources close to Quark allege
that shifting priorities, high turnover (for example, only
one product manager at Quark has held the position
for more than two years), and low morale are hurting
the company’s efforts.
Quark’s president, Fred Ebrahimi, disagrees; he
claims a record profit in 1995 and a 25 per cent
increase in worldwide XPress sales, as well as low
turnover in research, programming, and product man-
agement. He also cites a new commitment to improved
customer support. Sources paint a darker picture of a
Quark stressed by inconsistent management and shift-
ing priorities.
XPosure: grim prognosis Groomed by Quark as a
Photoshop killer and first shown in prototype form
over a year ago, QuarkXPosure generated much excite-
ment among artists and publishers.
But XPosure has yet to ship, or even go into beta
testing. A joint project between Quark and JVC, a
Japanese company that has not previously brought a
Macintosh product to market, XPosure faces serious
technical problems, says Ebrahimi, who admitted that
“it’s not in a condition | would consider shipping.”
While hoping for a solution, Ebrahimi says, “We didn’t
do the R&D work. We have no control over the [core]
technology.”
He said Quark will decide “in the next few months”
if Quark- E
XPosure can

Apple slashes Mac prices again
but shelves speed increases
s part of its corporate belt-tightening exercise in the face of increased second-quarter losses,
Apple has cancelled the PowerSurge2’s - the revised Power Macintosh 7200, 7500, 8500, and
9500 versions that were to ship this autumn with Firewire (the very fast serial connection also called
1394, profiled from page 42). Instead Apple is concentrating on the PowerPC Platform (formerly known
as CHRP). Read our PPCP investigation on page 30.
Firewire will be available on the PowerPC Platform-based Macs through an add-on PCI board. Apple had
no official comment on any internal project cuts or product plans.
On the plus side, Apple has announced price cuts on its latest range of Power Macs, which should save you hav-
ing to tighten your own belt. Effective immediately, the price changes mean that you can buy a low-end Power Mac 7200 for under £920, or
the bundled Power Mac 7200/75 (8MB RAM, 500MB hard disk) with the Apple Multiscan 1705 display (no keyboard) for approximately
£1,390, For further information call Apple on 0800 127 753.

the company’s satisfaction and that
the product has “about a 50-50
chance” of survival.
The picture actually looks much
bleaker, according to knowledge-
able sources who say that conflicts
between the two companies over
JVC’s refusal to correct serious per-
formance and interface problems
have effectively derailed the pro-
ject. (VC would not comment.)
As a result, Quark’s XPosure
design team has been reduced to a
skeleton crew, these sources say.
Ebrahimi would not comment on
staffing.
Sources say that an agreement
letting Quark use PixelCraft's
colour-separation architecture in
XPosure also fell through late last
year.
Neither Quark nor PixelCraft
would comment on this allegation.
Immedia: should ship this year
Quark’s multimedia XTension,
Immedia, is in much better shape.
The company says Immedia will be out by summer;
beta testing was expected to have begun by the time
you read this.
Immedia is taking a different approach to multime-
dia publishing than programs like Adobe's PageMill,
eschewing Internet standards such as HTML in favour of
Quark’s own browser, which would work as a stand-
alone viewer or as a plug-in for Web browsers like
Netscape Navigator.
Ebrahimi says Quarkimmedia is designed to deliver
documents that have layout, typography, video, and
sound, and that HTML and other Web-publishing tech-
nologies simply can’t produce such design-oriented
documents.
XPress: not top priority The status of XPress 4.0 is
less clear. Last spring, Quark chairman Tim Gill
described an initial features list at the QuarkXPress
Conference and said that 4.0 would ship toward the end
of 1995 (see News, August 1995).
Long-document producers looked forward to XPress
4.0's indexing, table-of-contents generation, and multi-
document production. Networkers dreamed of refined
workgroup usage. Table creators longed for an unlimit-
ed number of tabs. And subs pined for character-based
style sheets. Don’t hold your breath, folks...
Ebrahimi says Quark has no schedule for XPress 4.0.
He would like it to ship this year, but “it’s fine with us if
it ships next year.” That's because the priority project at
Quark right now is
Immedia, which he
believes will broaden
Quark’s business.
A future assured?
Quark clearly feels its
superior technology
will maintain its edge
over competitors in the
long haul.
But can a one-prod-
uct company turn into
a successful multi-
product entity, given
Quark's reputation for
being difficult and its
dependence on one
man - Gill—as the
visionary and primary
architect of its key
technologies?

Operating System, code-named Copland and due out in
late 1996 or early 1997, will move the Mac a larger step

The Copland OS will let
you find and organize
your data by its content.
HTML fonts
Adobe, Apple, and
Netscape have
announced that they
will work jointly to pro-
vide cross-platform font
technology for HTML
and PDF documents.
The companies will
define HTML extensions
for Adobe Type 1 and
Apple TrueType fonts to
ensure that Web pages
are viewed as originally
intended.
Adobe Acrobat's

Netscape will support
the new technology. The
companies expect the
proposed extensions to
be finalized by the end

expect in Copland.
View by content A new technology tentatively
called a view window lets you organize information
based on your criteria. You enter words you want
Copland to find in documents, and it then creates a win-
dow that contains all documents with the words, along
with a ranking of how closely the document fits your
search request. This feature also lets you select a docu-
ment and have the Mac OS find documents with similar
content — no need for you to enter the search text.
You can save any view window and have it automati-
cally update with any new or changed documents the
next time you open it, thanks to Copland’s multithread-
ed design that allows powerful background processing.
Interface refinements Copland will have refine-
ments to the user interface throughout. A significant
change features a subtle change to the Finder's file-
view capabilities. Now, when a file name is too long to
fit in the list view (view by name), the Finder just dis-
plays the first part of the name. If you have a long docu-
ment name that ends with significant information, such
as a revision number or date, you can’t see that infor-
mation. But Copland’s Finder shows part of the begin-
ning of the file name and part of the end, so you have
enough context to readily tell files apart.
Restructured System Folder Apple also plans to
restructure the System Folder so that you can tell which
extensions the system needs and how recent they are.
Apple's product-marketing director for Copland, Vito
Salvaggio, concedes that today’s System Folder is a
‘Internet-friendly’ System 8
organizes files by content, but
some features are put on ice
confusing morass of files,
extensions, and preferences
that makes system manage-
ment and troubleshooting
difficult. However, he notes
that this restructuring may
not make it into the first ver-
sion of Copland. For Apple to
meet its end-of-1996 release
date, the company may have
to pull some features and
deliver them in 1997 as an
upgrade.
Cuts in Copland Cost containment at Apple - fol-
lowing first quarter losses and anticipating an even
worse second quarter — will undoubtedly affect
Copland, as the company cannot afford to delay its
release any further. The company that made a habit of
blindly throwing cash at projects has spent the last
nine months ridding itself of projects that were sucking
up resources without results. And according to sources
(both within and outside Apple), even core technology
groups are being forced to make compromises.
For Copland, such compromises take the shape of
dropped features. Every company that develops soft-
ware must jettison projects and features on a continual
basis. But Apple's recent troubles throw these cuts into
sharp relief.
The Copland file system will be written in native
PowerPC code, unlike System 7.5 - but early reports
say that users will not notice any significant speed
improvement as a result of the new file-system code.
And Apple has killed a new disk-directory structure.
Today's 2GB hard drives store small files inefficiently
because the minimum block size — the smallest storage
unit - is 32K, even if the file is only 10 bytes long. The
cancelled feature would have added additional b-tree
structures in the disk directory to support much small-
er minimum block sizes on large drives. Apple also
killed native support for the Windows NT file system.
Custom configurations Previously announced
Copland features include the ability to set up multiple
users on one system, each with different preferences
and access capabilities. For example, a notebook user
might have one group of settings on the road, when
server access is unnecessary, and a different group
when plugged into the office network.
You can sort of do this now by using System 7.5’s
Extensions Manager to save different extension and
control-panel settings, but that requires a restart.
Under Copland, switching user settings requires only a
partial restart, which takes much less time. - Galen

produces smoother graduations, richer
colours and scans with more impact.
Pin Sharp Resolution - a 5000 pixel single
pass CCD gives optical resolutions of up
to 9600dpi with interpolation. All of
which makes the PowerLook II not only
the best but also the fastest pre-press
flatbed colour scanner on the market.
ox binusgan

300MHz 604
chip soon
Motorola said that next
year it will release a
300MHz version of its
PowerPC 604 processor.
Its 64-bit processor, the
PowerPC 620, will be
available for production
in the middle of 1996.
ithin two weeks of his appointment as new
W CEO and chairman of Apple Computer Gil
Amelio signed a breakthrough licensing deal
with Motorola Computer Group, which looks set to kick-
start Apple’s flagging Mac OS-licensing programme.
Along with Apple and IBM, Motorola developed both
the PowerPC chip family and the forthcoming PowerPC
Platform (PPCP, previously known as the Common
Hardware Reference Platform), an industry-standard
Can PowerPC maintain mentum?
BM's recent decision not to produce a commercial version of OS/2
i for desktop PowerPC systems has left Apple’s Mac OS virtually
alone for now to carry the PowerPC flag on the desktop. But now
that Apple has licensed its Mac OS to Motorola, which is already a
partner in the PowerPC initiative, the Mac OS will have other vendors’
support besides just Apple's. Microsoft's Windows NT, which also runs
on the PowerPC, is expected to dent the market sometime this year.
Nevertheless, IBM's decision is seen as a loss for the PowerPC.
IBM officials maintained that the company remains committed to the
PowerPC in its RS/6000 and AS/400 product lines, but some
observers questioned whether the overall PowerPC initiative can gain
momentum as a mass-market alternative to the Intel juggernaut. This
also has raised fears that potential systems makers and independent
software vendors might be scared away from the platform. 2
“The PowerPC is doomed to failure if Apple is selling 95 per cent of the sys-
tems,” predicted Kimball Brown, an analyst at market research firm Dataquest.
But PowerPC proponents said that as Motorola starts to subJicense the Mac OS,
it is only a matter of time before other vendors begin to deliver systems based on
PPCP. That platform supports multiple operating systems, including Sun's Solaris,
Novell's NetWare, IBM's AIX and Windows NT.
An even bigger boost for the PowerPC platform may come from NT, users and
analysts said: “NT is a very viable possibility for the PowerPC,” said Pieter
Hartsook, editor of industry newsletter The Hartsook Letter. “If a core of vendors
[such as] Compaq, Gateway and HP put muscle behind it, that could be very signif-
icant,” Hartsook said. — Lisa Picarille and Jaikumar Vijayan
Motorola deal to kickstart wobbly PowerPC Platform
as Apple finally loosens grip on Macintosh hardware
hardware design that will the form the basis of the Mac
platform beginning late this year or early in 1997.
The licensing agreement applies to version 7.5.x of
the Mac OS and includes access to the next major
release (System 8, codenamed Copland — see page 28),
with no restrictions with regard to markets, models, or
geographic regions, according to Apple and Motorola.
But it doesn’t end there. Motorola also becomes the
first licensee to be able to sub-license the Mac OS with
its motherboards to OEMs, who could then differentiate
their products without specific permission from Apple ~
the classic PC-clone model.
Motorola's arrangement represents the beginning of
a broad licensing program based on the PPCP, said
Amelio: “This agreement is a major milestone in our
licensing program. We believe that Motorola, a key
player in this industry, has the resources and technical
strengths, especially in the communication area, to
help enrich the Mac platform.”
“This licensing agreement is strong evidence that
Motorola is committed to PowerPC and the Mac OS
market,” said Joe Guglielmi, corporate vice president
and general manager of Motorola.
Apple's original OS licensing strategy, announced in
late 1994, was also based on the idea of open, broad
licensing. But the company shifted gears — fearful of
competitive pressures that could erode its bottom line,
and daunted by the logistical difficulties of supporting
licensees on today’s proprietary Mac hardware design.
Competitive stance
By licensing the Mac OS now, Motorola hopes to get a
jump on as yet unknown competitors selling the Mac
OS, but would not announce any timelines for product
releases. Guglielmi indicated, however, that his compa-
ny would not ship any PPCP systems until all the OSs
supported by the platform, including the Mac OS,
Solaris, and Windows NT, were up and running reliably.
Guglielmi said that Motorola will emphasize “best-
of-class” systems and motherboards for its Mac OS-
based offerings, a posture that would seem to place it
in direct competition with Apple, which recently

announced a similar strategy. He indicated that
Motorola will primarily target the enterprise market,
historically a weak spot for Apple: “We're almost exclu-
sively focused on the enterprise, and we have no plans
to put Motorola-branded products into the retail chan-
nel,” he said, He added that Mac-based laptops will not
Java computer on the way, too
Motorola also has plans to build a PowerPC processor
specifically designed to run Internet-based applications
written in Sun Microsystems’ Java programming lan-
guage: “We've started activities with Java, but it’s still
in the definition stage,” said Hans Wildenberg, a direc-
tor of Motorola Semiconductors.
Over the next two to three years, the consumer mar-
ket will be asking for a low-priced Internet computer (or
network computer). Because the PowerPC can achieve
high performance levels while maintaining a small die
size, Wildenberg said, it would be well-suited for such a
machine. The company is considering building a version
of the chip to power a scaled down type of computer
that might not even include a keyboard or screen, he
said. See Atmark story, page 33.
Regardless of whether Motorola's Java plans are
imminent or not, the company said that it has chosen
Sun's technology for its Internet strategy: “The next
step in the industry is away from Wintel and into the
Internet; we believe that Java today is probably the
best-positioned programming language” for the
Internet, Wildenberg said.
Apple’s move to PPCP
Apple also announced a new twist on its move to the
PPCP. “Over time we will move a large fraction of our
systems over to PowerPC Platform-based systems,”
said Apple Senior Vice President David Nagel.
But some models, such as those built for the educa-
tion market, may remain with the current Mac hardware
platform indefinitely, he added. Previously, Apple had
indicated that all Mac models would be moved to the
PPCP. In a move that further indicates a more open
approach on OS licensing, Lamar Potts, Apple’s vice
president for licensing, said that once the PPCP is in
place, a customer could buy a shrink-wrapped Mac OS
for any PPCP-based computer, even if the machine's
manufacturer did not have a Mac OS license.
If the system was genuinely PPCP compliant, the
Mac OS would operate normally. - Charles Piller, Cara

Big guns drawn for
June’s Mac OK Corel
PC graphics giant Corel has finally
made the jump and entered the profes-
sional Macintosh market. Mac artists,
long-accustomed to deciding between
Adobe Illustrator (see review of version
6.0, page) and Macromedia FreeHand,
can now look forward to the introduc-
tion of PC-leader CorelDraw.
Media Relations and Market
Development manager Eric Lefebvre
told Macworld that CorelDraw for the
Mac will ship in June. The Macintosh
version will have a much-transformed
look-and-feel to the Windows version,
but will not skimp on features and
toolsets.
After paying Novell $115 million for
the WordPerfect applications group,
Corel’s CEO Michael Cowpland had
hinted that there would be increased
efforts to bring Corel’s other products
into the Mac space.
And now it has been confirmed that the Canadian-
based software publisher will be porting a Mac version
of Draw, entering into the bloody battle for the high
end graphics market with Macromedia and Adobe.
Right time
Corel officials said that its graphics professionals had
been asking for a Mac version of Draw for some time.
The company felt that with new 32-bit platforms now
was the right time to bring CorelDraw over to the Mac
platform.
Carrie Bendzsa, media relations co-ordinator for
Corel said that the Mac version will be made up of
seven components.
* For illustration: CorelDraw 6.0
* For modelling and ray tracing: Core\Dream 3D
* For image editing: as-yet unnamed painting package
* For bit-map-to-vector conversion: CorelTrace 6
* For cataloguing: Corel Multimedia Manager
* For font- and file-management: Master Juggler
* and, a texture program
Corel is clearly hoping to cash in on its PC installed
base. A recent IDC study revealed that in 1995
CorelDraw 5 and 6 captured 67.5 per cent of unit sales
for graphics software.
Bendzsa said that Corel was working on having
many Mac-specific features. These will include a
redesign of all the programs’ interfaces. with added
printing and pre-press capabilities, Apple Guide, and
support for ColorSync 2.0 profiles and QuickDraw GX.
Corel says the texture program —a specific Mac com-
ponent — lets users create natural-media textures, ren-
der textures as PICT or TIFF images, and apply bevel
effects and embossing to bitmaps.
PC-market graphics leader in summer
battle with Illustrator and FreeHand
Bendzsa added that the suite will also include clip-
art images, TrueType and PostScript Type 1 fonts, and
approximately 1,000 high-resolution photos.
CorelDraw for the Mac will require System 7.5 or
higher and a minimum of 8MB of memory. CorelDraw is
scheduled to start shipping in June, but pricing has not
been set. It is expected that the Mac version will be
available through Corel’s regular distributors.
WordPerfect hopes raised
At a press conference at the time of the merger, Corel
CEO Michael Cowpland was positive but unspecific
about Corel’s plans for the WordPerfect applications on
the Macintosh. But the future of the Mac version of
WordPerfect looks rosier with the decision to port
CorelDraw over to the Apple platform, despite the
defection of three WordPerfect for Mac engi-
neers to World Software, publishers of word-
processing program WorldWrite 3.0.
