As a user, you see help for several client programs stacked in a single window, with each program's menu commands and dialog items keyed to descriptive paragraphs in the help file. You can tell the help server to follow your actions in the background, so that you can read about the program while you use it. Hypertext links connect related sections and trigger demonstration actions by the client application. The Help on Wheels developer's kit (now supporting Metrowerks CodeWarrior as well as the MPW environment, and PowerPC as well as 68K programs) includes a sample application, and everything a developer would need to add help service to an application, control panel, or extension. The client interface is designed to take the burden of display, printing, saving, and other common help functions away from the developer.

All of the strings are meant for use with a Macintosh computer. Version 2.0.1 allows you to test INITialization strings with a modem connected to your Macintosh computer. This version contains three times the amount of INIT Strings as the original (2.0). Note that although this version contains options for PC Card Modems, Network Modems and Internal Modems, these features are not yet fully implemented and will appear greyed out. These options will be functional in Version 2.1. Mac INIT Strings 2.0.1 requires the use of the Apple Serial Tool 1.0.2 which is part of the Apple Communications ToolBox (CTB). The installer will place a copy of the Serial Tool in your Extensions Folder requiring you to restart your machine after the installation process is complete. Mac INIT Strings was built with Mac OS 8 and is therefore, Mac OS 8-compatible. You will need at least System 7.1 and 4 MB of physical (installed) memory in order to use Mac INIT Strings. Since Mac INIT Strings is freeware, you agree to use the utility at your own risk by reading this document. MRD offers no technical support for this utility by e-mail, facsimile nor telephone.

Unfortunately, all too frequently these devices come with Windows or DOS software only. Until now, if you wanted to communicate with these devices from the Macintosh, you were stuck writing complicated serial port communication code in a language like C or C++. The SerialPort scripting addition makes it possible to send and recieve data over the serial port from AppleScript using very easy to write scripts. This shareware scripting addition comes with a comprehensive manual, several sample scripts, and glue code for using it from Frontier. The SerialPort scripting addition supports all of the communication settings (baud rate, handshaking, etc.) and any Macintosh serial port (including add-in cards).

You can use Snap'n Clip in many ways. I myself uses it frequently to take a picture memo while I am surfing the WWW. It's easy to take the WWW page with images and text with Snap'n Clip. I only use HTML/image download programs or off-line browsing tools that utilize the browser's cache for capturing entire site. These tools are really useful, but it's not good for taking only the part of the page as a memo. Captured picture will be saved as a picture clipping file in the DeskTop with a thumbnail icon.

TEO was originally written by Gilles F=E9tis. The Mac port was by Richard Bannister. The documentation and the French translation was by Jacques Azou= lai. What is a TO8 ? The TO8 is a french computer built by THOMSON and released in September= 1986. It is with the MO6 and TO9+ the result of a renewal of the range to react to th= e competition from Amstrad, Commodore and more important the 16 bits. Therefor= e, and though it still has the same processor, it includes many improvements= with a mechanical keyboard, an extended memory, new graphic modes and improved soun= d, amongst many others. Benefiting from the compatibility with the TO7 and TO7/= 70, it allows to expand its area of competences and to use professional applications. We can quote Multiplan (speadsheet) and Paragraphe (word processor). A new release appeared a few later with an integrated disk drive, the TO8D, confir= ming the new positioning of this range. Other key factor of success, THOMSON bene= fits from the educational aura of its settlement in schools. As an advertisement says, this is the "intelligent gift" to do to your children. Meanwhile, the TO8 li= ke the MO6 suffered from their confinement to the french market and as a= result a software quality below their capabilities(the french editors not investing a= lot to develop for a market to whom they are sure to sold, considering the compu= ter fleet). THOMSON itself seems to loose interest in it at the en of the eighti= es with the withdrawal of the 16/32 bits project and the launching of the= TO16, PC compatible qui that will compete against the current existing professional r= ange (TO9 and TO9+ mainly). In the end THOMSON decided to give up the public computers sector signing the capital sentence for the TO8D.
