Open rat Version 1.1 Onan = fet Theorist's equation outlining and manipulation process, and one of many customizable graphs. Prescience (pronounced PRE-shence) brings you the complete mathematical solution for the Macintosh: Theorist and Expressionist. Theorist is the sym- bolic algebra and graphing program that is easy to use and powerful, but only requires one (1) megabyte of memory. You don’t need to learn how to program, memorize syntax rules, or read a large manual since Theorist actually displays and interactively solves real equations on screen—step by step—the way you do on paper. 2-D and 3-D graphs, contour and density plots, solids, as well as animation files, are easily created and saved in PICT, EPS, or PICS formats for high quality output. Your equations can be exported to Expressionist, the | leading equation editor, for typeset-quality results in your word processing and page layout documents. Both programs are simple enough for the student, yet powerful enough for the professional educator, scientist, and engineer. Our programs enable you to concentrate your time investigating and presenting your work, not learning how to!

From anywhere When you want remote access to your net- work, you should use the best solution. NetModem® by Shiva. The industry standard in remote network communications. EASY ACCESS NetModem has features no network should be without. For instance, it allows remote users with a Mac and modem to dial in and access all network resources, like file servers, electronic mail, laser printers and more-even run network applications. The exact same way you would at the office. CENTRAL MANAGEMENT And unlike software-only solutions for remote access, NetModem’s hardware based approach doesn’t require a dedicated com- puter on the network. And you can manage every NetModem on your network from one location-even remotely. With NetModem, you can even specify how much of the network remote users can access: the whole network or just the zone where the NetModem is located. A FAMILY OF OPTIONS NetModem is available in 2400 bps and 9600 bps versions. With models for Local Talk or Ethernet. So if you’re considering a dial in solution for network access, consider NetModem. And if you already have a modem, ask us about TeleBridge or EtherGate. Just call 1-800-458-3550, 617-252- 6300 or fax 617-252-6852 to see what solution Shiva has that’s best for you.

For more information, contact Radius at 408/434-1010, or Asante at 408/752-8388. 7000 MIPS Kodak Board Translates Color Spaces Kodak Electronic Printing Systems has designed a color-space-translation and image-processing ac- celerator board that the company says provides between 6000 and 7000 MIPS of processing power dedicated to graphics manipulation. To help artists and graphic designers translate between the differ- ent color spaces—methods of creating color—used by various printers, scanners, and monitors, the board uses KCMS (Kodak Color Management Sys- tem). The device is also designed to manipulate very large 24-bit files. Kodak expects to ship the board by the fourth quarter, at an estimated price of about $5000. The board will only be sold through third parties, including RasterOps and Radius, who will add calibration or other software. For more information, contact Kodak at 508/667-5550.

Apple, IBM Ink Long-Term Deal Apple and IBM have tentatively agreed to work together on software and hardware projects that will fundamentally change the personal computer market. The companies plan to develop a single system software platform to run on Motorola 680X0, Intel 80X86, and IBM’s System/6000 RISC chips. According to the plan, Apple will migrate to an IBM-designed RISC chip, which Motorola will manufacture. The companies expect to ship prod- ucts in two to three years. The agreement strips Microsoft of its role as the primary system software developer for IBM PCs. In another stab at Microsoft, the Apple-IBM agreement also proposes a platform- independent multimedia environment (Microsoft has been pursuing a PC-only Microsoft Windows- based multimedia strategy). The plan also calls for tighter integration of Macs with IBM mainframes.

Microcom’s Citadel will list for $149.95 and include password protection for floppy drives and hard drives; three levels of file encryption, including DES; a screen locker; the Virex INIT for detecting viruses; and a tool for eras- ing the contents of deleted files so they cannot be retrieved. For more information, call 919/490-1277. A.M.E, 2.0 has a revamped interface and simplified installation; provides more detailed reports; can lock a hard drive without locking the floppy drive on the same machine; and can create a user-accessible folder on an otherwise locked hard drive (the folder can be configured to delete its contents periodically or when the authorized user logs out). Casady & Greene points out that System 7’s alias feature cre- ates backdoor security implications that A.M.E. 2.0 doesn't solve. Casady & Greene is at 408/484-9228.

Circle 20 on reader service card COMMENTARY —= Why I Love QuickTime NOT JUST BECAUSE IT’S WAY COOL BY JERRY BORRELL hat the heck is QuickTime? A new addi- tion to system software, developed by a group of engineers at Apple, that will probably ship to all of us late in 1991. Remember QuickDraw, the fundamental drawing model that is an integral part of the Macintosh Operating Sys- tem? Well—if you don’t remember, QuickDraw is the part of the Mac- intosh OS that creates the screen dis- play, supports windows, draws lines, handles color, and basically takes care of all the graphics and drawing functions. QuickTime, the software written by software engineer Bruce Leak and the system software group at Apple, is the equivalent (and a lot more) of QuickDraw for video, images, and animation. It is the fundamental architecture, the human interface, and the actual software that will al- low the Macintosh to display, com- press, edit, create, and store video. Video as in ‘TV. Without any special hardware. In part I love QuickTime because it is largely the work of one man; at least as much as any aspect of a com- puter operating system can be one individual's work. Certainly others contributed significantly to many as- pects of QuickTime, but still it was conceived, shaped, and ultimately formed by Bruce Leak, whose work has provided the Macintosh with the sort of breakthrough in technology that can add years of life to the Mac. It is not a coincidence that this same programmer was responsible for much of the work on 32-bit Quick- Draw, which has had a profound im- pact on personal computing. Why do I appreciate this man’s contribution so much? Because it in- dicates that it is still possible for one individual to make a difference. Be- cause it shows that there are still sparks of originality, innovation, and life in a $6 billion company. The sort of innovation that creates opportuni- ties for dozens of other innovative companies. It reminds me of the early days of Andy Hertzfeld and the Mac- intosh, when life at Apple (and pro- gramming) was simpler. Heroes were identifiable by their contributions, not by their hierarchical position on committees. QuickTime is a seminal develop- ment for personal computing. Just as PageMaker helped define a new era of personal computer applications based on the Mac’s QuickDraw soft- ware, so too a new generation of ap- plication software based on Quick- Time will redefine what we do with personal computers. This develop- ment will create a new genre of users and a new wave of developers—and give older companies new life. Com- panies like Light Source, Diva, even Adobe. QuickTime will bring to 2 million Macintoshes (those with a 68020 or higher microprocessor) the ability to play video without any specialized hardware. It will up the ante for all personal computers, as did the incor- poration of 8-bit color in the Macin- MACWORLD * SEPTEMBER 1991 tosh II in 1989. It won't happen quickly—Apple'’s third-party develop- ers are only beginning to work with the first versions of QuickTime. But just as 32-bit QuickDraw is used by almost every Macintosh application, so too will QuickTime slowly find use in most applications, from E-mail to word processors. QuickTime is not just something that will allow nerds and video freaks to have MTV on their Mac (although, come to think of it, that’s way cool). Nope. QuickTime is going to change how the world uses computers. And if we could just get corporate man- agement at Apple to spend a little time appreciating what they have ii stead of running for cover, the com- pany just might be able to communi- cate the importance of that message to its customers. QuickTime's Impact The majority of Macintosh users, es- pecially in these days of millions of Mac Cla ales, do not invest in ex- pensive video boards, high-perfor- mance graphics, Ethernet networks, (continues) Join us at Macworld Expo!

Cables not ticluded, iE APPLIED CONCEPTS Circle 174 on reader service card, COMMENTARY or devices for watching television on their Macs. The majority of Macs are used with word processors, spread- sheets, and (for those in companies) E-mail software. Many of you often write to complain that computer magazines (all of us) are too high- tech, too focused on corporate and high-end users of the Macintosh. And QuickTime sounds suspiciously like some more of that sophisticated stuff that most people will never be able to afford to use. Wrong. As part of system software, QuickTime will come with every new Macintosh. Or you will get it from a dealer as part of a system software upgrade (at $50 to $100). QuickTime will underlie all aspects of what you can do with a Macintosh, just as printing does now. QuickTime will free hundreds of software developers from worrying about whether you have access to expensive video hard- ware. If you have a version of system software with QuickTime installed and applications that support it, you have access to video in either black and white, gray scale, or color. And developers are working furi- ously to incorporate QuickTime. WordPerfect Corporation, for exam- ple, has QuickTime, up and working, on its best-selling word processor. Last May WordPerfect demonstrated a movie clip incorporated into its namesake application. It was that demo that convinced me of the universal appeal and appli- cability of video, although it did raise a couple of questions. So, fine, I'll have access to video in my word pro- cessor—how do I get video into my computer? And once I get it, how do I show it to anyone? Getting Video In Rule number one: Don’t think of QuickTime as only allowing you to watch TV on your Mac. Sure, there will be a subset of Mac owners who can afford to buy a color video board that receives television and cable. In fact, RasterOps, SuperMac, Radius, and a few others are already in a race to produce such a board for so little money that most of us will want to buy one. SuperMac plans a board for less than $500; RasterOps ships one today for under $600. MACWORLD + SEPTEMBER 1991 The point is, however, that QuickTime will allow you to make movies using any graphics format, not just that of video. Aldus, for example, recently showed a word processor document that incorporated a Per- suasion presentation in a QuickTime window. Now you have text available, say in monthly reports—soon you'll QuickTime and the applications it will spawn will ever so slowly wean us from our paper habit...

Similarly, you might in- corporate a series of Excel charts within your monthly report. Or if you're writing a scientific or techni- cal paper, you might include some animations, or key sequences from an experiment. An architect might in- clude a series of drawings within a building proposal, or a walk-through of a draft design. All of which brings up the second question: How do I show this to any- one? This is the big issue that has hampered presentation software on personal computers for over a decade. Sure, I can make pretty pictures, but how can people see them? Video Out? Print to Video ‘The answer to this question is per- haps the most important aspect of QuickTime of all. In the future, you will use a computer—not paper—to disseminate information. The very fact that QuickTime cannot be incor- porated onto paper will provide the long-awaited impetus for all of us to shift the paradigm of how we use computers.

Even con- version of PostScript Type 1 fonts to customizable Bézier outlines. MacDraw Pro doesn't. Canvas 3.0 gives you more technical drawing features. Like custom dy- Ret 4 MACORAW®@ PRO i namic hatching. Custom parallel lines & curves. Custom dashed lines, curves & borders. Automatic dimension lines, Area & perimeter calculations.

Like Canvas 2.1 before it, the new Canvas 3.0 was devel- oped in direct response to the wish lists of thousands of drawing professionals. Its heritage of performance is proven. Its Price is right. And its ease of use is leg- endary. Which leaves just one last ques- tion. If what you draw is important to you, why settle for Claris's sedate sedan when you can get your hands on a dream ma- chine?

Up to now, all we've seen is more paper; somehow the computer has contributed to the proliferation of paper. QuickTime and the applica- tions it will spawn will ever so slowly wean us from our paper habit. We won't notice it at first. The E-mail packages will begin supplying video-capture capability. Companies QuickTime will under- lie all aspects of | what you can do with a | Macintosh, just as printing does now will add photographs of E-mail rs to their file servers. will digitize (or have scanned) a photo that will pop up like a talking-head photo of a correspondent giving an interview from some video-less hot spot. Farallon or Brightstar may improve on that by allowing the little talking head to lip-sync phonetically to match the words in a message. Someone will build a video-capture device the size of a mouse that will sit atop your computer to digitize a video message. Companies like San Francisco-based FM Waves may sell video and anima- tion clips, analogous to still clip art, and the computer weeni will start incorporating little clips our messages—scenes from our fa- vorite movies, shots of our favorite film stars. And somewhere along the line, as we process words, make a spread- sheet, desktop publish, draw, gen- erate charts, send messages, and create on our Macintosh, instead of going to the File Menu and selecting Print, we'll select Print to video. Then we'll paste a film of our message, or a copy of a news clip, or an anima- tion into a memo. And because that is going to be so much more com- pelling, we won't even contemplate making a paper copy. Paper will simply cease to compete with what we can produce for one another on our computers.

Apple, Macintosh are ademors of Apple Compute. The Macintosh of the future is Introducing the System7 Personal Upgrade Kit. You've read and heard a lot about System, the new system software for Apple® Macintosh® computers. And if you already know what it will do for your Macintosh, perhaps the only other thing you need to know is this: Your System 7 Personal Upgrade Kit is ready. You can order it right from the next page, or from your authorized Apple reseller. Just proceed to the phone What's on the Apple menu?

That’s what System 7 brings to your Macintosh. As soon as you install it, you'll enjoy an array of new capabilities, and be ready for a new generation of software. And since System7 runs virtually all current applications, you'll enjoy its benefits without giving up a thing. With enhanced multitasking, you can keep several applications open at once, and continue to work while you print, search for, copy, or share files. Thanks to virtual memory, multitasking capability isn't limited by the amount of RAM. Windows Hide PageMaker 4.0 Hide Others. With TrueType, even the largest letters display perfectly on the screen, with no Jagay, “staircase” edges.

It’s the best thin; that ever happened to your Macintosh. Your System 7 Personal Upgrade Kit comes with everything you need to make your move into the future a smooth one. the Macintosh on your desk. We've also made Macintosh easier to use. For instance, take a look at Apple Balloon Help; our new on-line help feature. Point to an item on the screen, and a balloon pops up next to it, telling you what it’s for. So applications are quicker to lear, and easier to make the most of. Everything gets smoother and simpler. With System, there’s a big improvement in big type. Thanks to Apple's TrueType” font technology, you get per- fectly smooth letters on the screen, no matter what their size, along with more professional-looking output. And you don’t need the Font/DA Mover. To install TrueType fonts, just drag their icons into the System Folder. (Ditto for desk accessories.) Open an application. Work. Save. Quit. Open another application. Until now, that’s how you've probably moved from, say, a word processing program to a spreadsheet. With improved multitasking, you can keep several applications open at once, and choose between them with a mouse click. So you don’t have to stop what you're doing to print, search for files, duplicate files, or share data. Using applications simultaneously can demand lots of memory, but with System7 you aren't likely to see a not- enough-memory message. Because there's virtual memory.* When you need extra memory, just tell System 7 to use the spare room on your hard disk. Your Macintosh will work without interruption, and so will you. See what's developing. System7 gives developers a far-reaching new set of tools, enabling them to offer applications that do new things for you. For example, to the fame and success of cut and paste, we've added publish and subscribe. Change something in one docu- ment, and it can change—automatically—in every document where it appears. Even if the documents are in different appli- cations or on different computers across a network. System 7 also enables any Macintosh on a network to share documents and applications with any other. We could go on. But the main point is really this: System 7 is ready for your Macintosh. To run System, all you need is 2 megabytes of memory and a hard disk. (If you don’t have enough memory, you can purchase it from your authorized Apple reseller.) System 7 sets new standards in personal computing, and so does the way Apple brings it to you. To make installation simple and sure, your System7 Personal Upgrade Kit** comes with everything you need—disks, manuals, and 90 days of telephone upgrade assistance.
