I heard a while back that TEMPUS WORD was available in Europe. Has anyone seen it here in the US? Anybody know anything about its features? Thanks Kevin ramsiri@blake.acs.washington.edu

Don't you just hate these programs with hard-coded language dependancies! The whole purpose of a RSC file is to do away with such problems: translating the language is trivial with resources. When I got GEMINI off the archive, it was all in German. So I changed the resource, but still it had some German stuff, because the authors had used form_alert type calls with literal strings in them! Oh well!

I think the main expense concern is not the resource conversion, but the cost of translating and printing the manuals. Anyone who has read the Abacus books will know that it must be hard to find good computer-literate translators, thus they probably charge a lot. -- John Henders jhenders@jonh.wimsey.bc.ca Vancouver,B.C. or jhenders@wimsey.bc.ca or ubc.cs!van-bc!jonh!jhenders

Mags, that the English version will soon be out, and that was some time back, may be these Mags get carried away, because it was some years back that we where getting Adimens, then back in Oct, 1990 that Kumana was bringing it out, but still no sign of it, these Mags where ST-User and ST-World, it seems that the Editors of the Mags dream a lot, by the way a Sales pamphlet of the Mega here has pile of software boxes show on the back page, there is a box for Adimends, is this just a con from Atari ??? -- Roger W.
