Those of us who use Apple II's use a standard archive program called (interestingly enough) 'ShrinkIt' - not 'StuffIt'. This program has versions which work all the way down to the Apple II+. If you need a copy, I will be glad to send you one. Also, as long as the stuff is archived in MacWrite format, they are very much unusable to those of us who have Apple II's (even if they weren't already encoded by StuffIt). It would be exceedingly helpful if someone at Apple.COM would put the HIG technotes in plain 'ol TEXT format.. then those of us who still (believe it or not) support the Apple II and IIGS can read the Human Interface Technotes. I realize, also, that these technotes probably have many illustrations in them, but often the raw text of what was said is worth reading... And, in my opinion, we Apple II programmers are probably the ones who need to read and apply the Human Interface Guidelines (and notes) the most. If you want us to read them, please put them in a format we can handle. Thanks... :-) andy BTW, this was not a flame.. it was just pointing about something that may need to be changed. -- Yeah! -- Yeah!
