Recently I received the new AppleWorks 3.0 in the mail through a special deal set up between Claris and A2-Central. The issue of A2-Central specified that the then-current TimeOut applications would not install themselves properly into AppleWorks 3.0, and that I would have to get upgrades for the TimeOut applications from Beagle Bros for $10 each. I tried to install TimeOut--first from SuperFonts, then from UltraMacros. They would not install, as told. Question: Are the applications old, or is TimeOut itself old? I suspect SuperFonts will need an upgrade to handle AW 3.0's new features (real tabs, right-justify, etc.) UltraMacros might not need an update. However, TimeOut itself--the program you get with Open-Apple-Escape--will need to be upgraded. Also, I saw a note that looked like it came on Usenet from the Pro-Beagle BBS. Is Beagle Bros connected to Usenet? I'd be interested to know if this is true; it would save time when I need to contact them about anything. Can you get into Pro-Beagle from Usenet? If you can, how? Thank you for your attention. Yours truly, Scott Alfter (Usenet:saa33413@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu) Mailed 14 Oct 89 @ 1551 hrs.

UltraMacros especially (btw, you get 21 new commands). All the updates come with the new TimeOut host as well. >Also, I saw a note that looked like it came on Usenet from the Pro-Beagle BBS. >Is Beagle Bros connected to Usenet?

I try to be a regular here, although sometimes I'll miss a few days. Mark Munz Beagle Bros

I'd be interested to know if this is true; I KNOW it's confusing, BUT Usenet is NOT a net :-) Yes pro-beagle (and all of the Pro-Lines I know about) are connected to UUCP (since 'uiuc' is a UUCP backbone, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a path to pro-beagle).

Since when? We've answered mail coming to pro-beagle for as long as the system has been up. Sometimes mail is addressed to one of our programmers who is not familiar with sending mail to other sites, so the mail may be delayed a bit, but if we receive it, we answer it. -- Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ProLine : mdj@pro-beagle UUCP : crash!pnet01!pro-beagle!mdj INET : mdj@pro-beagle.cts.com ARPA : crash!pnet01!pro-beagle!mdj@nosc.mil -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
