I've seen ads in MacTutor for three potentially-interesting software products but haven't seen any comments about them on the net. If you've bought, used, or even played around with any of the following, drop me a line and I'll summarize for the net. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product: Flash Finder Vendor: UNICOM Software Development Group, Providence, RI Description: Faster (even than Minifinder) application launcher; ad shows dialog box that resembles std. file dialog Price: $39.95 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product: C Extender (tm) Vendor: Invention Software Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI Description: Run-time library for Megamax or Aztec to create and manipulate windows, text, menus, dialog boxes, etc. Price: $129.95 (C; Pascal $69.96, Both $179.95) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product: MacSpec (tm) Vendor: LM Software (tm), Belmont, CA Description: Word processor for structured documents; features automatic section-numbering and renumbering, table of contents building, etc. Price: $199.95 --------------------------------------------------------------------- I am especially interested in MacSpec: while I like MacWrite's WYSIWYG approach, I miss the document-structuring features of nroff et al. (Also, I am curious to see just how the user marks sections for auto- numbering. :-)) Dave Bursik/..cbosgd!db (cbosgd is a backbone site, you should be able to get here from there)
