The October issue of personal computing includes software
reviews of the following new products for the Mac. There may be more
reviews in this issue but I haven't had time to get thru it yet.
1. FILEVISION, Telos Software Products, 3420 Ocean Park Blve. Santa
Manica, CA 90405 ; (213) 450-2424.
My summary of the review - the product has the typical Macintosh
feel i.e. it feels good to use. Not enough data base function to be a
very usable business product, but probably a good product for educational
use i.e. software textbooks, etc.
2. PC TO MAC AND BACK, $99.95 ; Dilithium Press, 8285 S.W. Nimbus,
Suite 151, Beaverton, OR 97005 , (800) 547-1842.
This is software that runs on an IBM-pc and the Mac and provides
both file transfer and communications.
My summary of the review - good file transfer capabilities - weak
communications. Many functions provided in other communications
packages are not provided. Good product when you consider the
function provided and the limited number of alternatives.
3. MACCOACH, $75.00 ; American Training International, 12638 Beatrice
St. , Los Angeles, CA 90066, (800) 421-4827.
Introduction to the Macintosh training.
My summary of the review - A very basic training package - not
for technical types more for the novice.
