Subject: MacDump problems
Someone recently reported problems about using single sided disks (I
think) with MacDump.
To use Single Sided disks, you need to do the following:
1) Initialize as single-sided, HFS disks (hold down option-clover during
ENTIRE initialization process, including "Name this disk")
2) When MacDump asks for a disk, insert the 1-sided disk WHILE HOLDING
DOWN option-clover. This makes it realize the disk is really HFS.
If you insert a 1-sided HFS disk without holding down option-clover,
MacDump will convert it to MFS and barf.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Rotated Text
I have a need to laser print text that has been rotated to an arbitrary
orientation. Is there an Mac software available that will let me do this
without grubbing around in Postscript?
Thanks

Subject: Changing font numbers?
Has anyone out there dealt with changing font numbers? I have a couple
conflicts I want to clean up, but I don't know which resources I need to
frob.
The Font/DA Mover doesn't do the right thing anymore (on a 512K w/ new
roms + 800k drive).
Thanks,

Subject: MacInHebrew Version 2.0
The next three files contain the latest version of MacInHebrew, a general
purpose adaptor which enables most Macintosh software to handle Hebrew
characters with true right-to-left motion and display. This upgrade fixes
numerous bugs, and unlike previous versions is fully Mac+ compatible.
The three files which follow are MacInHebrew2.0-DA.hqx,MacInHebrew2.0-fonts.hqx,
and MacInHebrew2.0-instr.hqx. They are in BinHex 4.0 format, and must be
converted back into binary form through use of BinHex 4.0 or later before use.
Please delete from your bulletin board any earlier versions of MacInHebrew,
as there is no reason why any user should ever need to go back to them.
MacInHebrew2.0-instr.hqx contains instructions on installation and use; it
is a MacWrite file, and can be read with MacWrite 4.5 or later.

Subject: Mac Multi-window word processors
I'm quite anxious to buy a multiple-window word processor such
as Microsoft WORD, or the newly released MultiWrite, but I
would prefer to see one or more reviews of these (and
perhaps other) programs before buying. The journals
(MacWorld, MacUser) haven't provided word processing reviews
yet, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any experience/opinions
they would like to share.
