general newbie questioins about AW5



How stable is AW5 with the 5.1 patch?

What are those ultramacros things, those timeout things?

On the IIgs I had to disable the ultramacros, otherwise it would crash to
the monitor. I saw references in the upgrade document about a /macro folder
which I don't see. They also had a couple of files to put there so I'm
wondering if that may be related to the crash.

Any online quick refs for AW5 A2?

-----  Change of subject ....                 PC to Mac to IIgs

( to the non-newbie this is old stuff, but I was excited to find a pathway
to transfers files to the IIgs without uploading and downloading stuff via
an ISP. Macette handles the resource and data fork requirements of normal
Mac files so that a file from the PC doesn't look like a PC file, but like a
regular Mac file. If you veterans see something wrong in the stuff below,
please correct this information. This is a quick sketch and I am a newbie )

Need
    - PC with 1.4 meg floppy
    - Mac with 1.4 meg floppy &  System 7.5 (?)
    - IIgs with 800k 3.5" floppy
    - 1 800k HFS or ProDos formatted diskette (AFAIK should be real 720k
disk, not 1.4 meg )
    - 1 1.4 meg formatted HFS disk

0) download and install Macette on a PC (does PC to Mac diskette transfers)
1) take a 1.4 meg Mac HFS disk and put it in the PC
2) use Macette to transfer those Apple 2 *.shk  etc. files to the Mac disk
3) take Mac disk to  Mac
4) drag files to Mac desktop
5) eject 1.4 meg HFS disk from Mac
6) put in 800k ProDos or HFS disk in Mac
7) drag file from desktop to ProDos disk
8) take disk to IIgs
