Sorry I forgot my .signature (damn readnews; it's only 5 lines!) (is there
a way around this?) on the safeware posting.
Another subject: has any one been running Servant .951 on a Mac II? I get
lots of Bombs, or at best, it runs out of memory after 1 program. Looks
real nice if I could ever get it running.
Finally, does anyone have the ordering information for the manual for
Servant? I dont have a printer, and havent been able to get the address/
price out of it.
Thanks,
- mike

I've just downloaded Servant .951 and have tried it out. It has some
interesting features, but one I would like a rationale for is the
"Zoom" feature. I can think of a *lot* of things I would rather have
than enlarged file icons (in various sizes even!). For example, I
rarely even use "View by Icon", but use "View by Name" instead, and
that is one feature Servant seems to lack.
Comments?

Andy is very involved in making computers accessible to the physically impaired. The various icon sizes are one way of making the mac more useful to those with vision problems. chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ We live and learn, but not the wiser grow -- John Pomfret (1667-1703)

Zooming out works great in a folder with a lot of files and one of the big-screen displays. -- Roger L. Long FileNet Corp {hplabs,trwrb}!felix!bytebug
