[comp.sys.mac.system] MacroMaker -- System 7 query

jonh@pogo.WV.TEK.COM (Jon Howell) (06/15/91)

I haven't researched this very well yet, meaning that I've not RTFM very
much.  However, the System 7 compatibility pamphlet says MacroMaker is
"unneccesary" with Sys 7.  What takes its place?  I used to use MM all the
time; now what do I do?  Buy QuickKeys?  :v)  I've perused the TOC and
index of the Sys 7 reference, and I don't see a replacement.  Excuse me
if I've been Rock Solid in the head. :v)

Accourding to Apple, MacroMaker was a hack whose time has gone and past,  
it was not used by most Mac users, and would take too much effort to make it
system 7 savvey.

They refer people to third party products, such as QuickKeys 2, which is System
7 savvey and AppleEvents smart.

Wish MacroMaker was still here - it might have been primitive, but it was
free, and worked (usually) well.
