Please forgive me if this has been done previously, but would someone please
post the contents of the Software Supplement?  I am considering getting it
and would like some idea of what's included.

		Thanks,

Did Apple send out a Supplement update for December?  There are a number of
files stored on Compuserve that claim to be "uploaded from the 12/84 Software
Supplement with permission".  However, the only Supplement update that I have
received is the one for October/November.

Yes. There were several updates for IM (User Interface, Sound Driver, OS
Event Manager, plus others), a new MacWorks disk, a Lisa and a Mac disk with
the ImageWriter 15 driver on it, a Lisa disk with a new Maccom and new
RMaker, and a Mac disk with REdit, a new Hard Disk Install program for MacWorks,
and debuggers on it. The new MacWorks disk is one of my favorites in that when
booting from it, MacWorks automaticallylooks for the hard disk and boots from
it, eliminating the need to boot from the MacWorks System 3-1/2" disk first.

	The Imagewriter 15 file allows you to use a 15 in Imagewriter
platen, print accross page boundaries, print 1/2 size output and several
other useful features.

	However the nicest thing about it is that they have fixed the
long delays that you get when printing blank space in the High
quality print mode.  High quality printing is much faster and the
printer carriage moves much less in all printing modes.
