Couple of things: First off, my apologies for forgetting the special characters to make the TidBITS#68 snnouncement show up at the top of the last Info-Mac posting. Second, my apologies for the mangling of TidBITS#67, which Mark H. Anbinder sent out for me. He has almost exactly the same paths and mailers as I do (we have the same uucp host), so the fact that the files were all mangled (lots of extra CR's in them - which when stripped produced a good file) was really strange. Mark will be helping out even more when I'm off the nets temporarily in late July and August during our move to Seattle, so bear with him. He's doing a good job. Third, would someone please summarize what's happened with MaxAppleZoom for me? I use an Apple 13" color monitor on an SE/30, so I never used it. I gather that it was shareware and expired on Friday 6/21. Had anyone who sent in the shareware fee gotten a new version that works correctly? You'll have to admit, it's an interesting shareware 'gotcha.' Wait until the people have gotten really fond of the utility for a few years and then pull out the rug. Of course, it's only excusable if the people who paid really do get a working update. Please send me email, and if you don't want to be cited in the TidBITS article, please mention that too. Many thanks .... -Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam C.
