I am searching far and wide for an autosaver that is compatible with Word. Specifics and flexibility are secondary. At the simplest form, such a utility might send an "open_apple-S" to the keyboard buffer every 'X' minutes. A bona-fide patch to MS-Word would be great (hey, I can dream if I _want_ to!), but I'll take all suggestions. -- BRAD-of-the-intermittent-server-crashes-and-power-failures CARLSON -- PAPER-NET:c/o Saint Olaf College, 1500 St.Olaf Ave., Northfield MN 55057-1001 APPLIANCE-NET: (507) 663-6445 *REAL*-NET: carlsonb@stolaf.edu

I have a DA called SaveIt which does this (sends command-S every N minutes). I just looked on both the sumex and umich archives, and it isn't at either one. I don't remember where I got this - I *think* it's either PD or shareware, but I'm not sure - I got it on a disk with a bunch of other shareware stuff, but without any documentation for SaveIt itself. If someone can clear me up on this, I'll either delete it from my disk, or post it to both the above archives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Price | Internet: price@uclapp.physics.ucla.edu 5-145 Knudsen Hall | BITNET: price@uclaph UCLA Dept. of Physics | SPAN: uclapp::price Los Angeles, CA 90024-1547 | YellNet: 213-825-2259 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where there is no solution, there is no problem.

Try a DA called Saviour. I don'n know where to find. If you don't find it elsewhere I try to find it. I have not used it but I think I might have it. aleskine@sauna.hut.fi
