Re: What's happening at KANSASFEST '98!

[maxjones@indy.net (Max Jones)]

In addition to software news already posted, Seven Hills announced the
upgrades to new of its programs: Disk Access and GraphicWriter III.

Disk Access II is actually shipping and is terrific enhancement to the
earlier version of the program. The interface has been cleaned up and now
sports lots of new buttons and functions.

GraphicWriter III 2.1 fixes problems in the spell checker, adds a
last-four-docs-opened feature in the file menu, and gives users a new
preference for the way text boxes are created.

The new version of GW III was demoed during my desktop publishing session
at Kfest, and Disk Access II was demoed by Ewen Wannop during a Seven
Hills session.

:        Applesoft and can generate stand alone GS/OS programs
:   NiftySpell v1.0  - Shareware Solutions II
:      - a spell checker NDA that can check spelling in any program that
:        uses TextEdit controls such as ShadowWrite (Hermes), Teach,
:        Spectrum, et al; you can use either a US or UK dictionary and
:        it supports multiple custom dictionaries
:   Babelfish        - Seven Hills
:      - file conversion program that translators can be written by

: Richard Bennett apparently was talking about or demoing, I'm not sure
: which, a program called Casper which is a web page server for the
