With less than a month to go before Applefest, it's about time for a sneak
preview of what's to be there for the Apple owner.
 
It's time for Appleworks to move aside as Kevin Harvey and the folks from
STYLEWARE roll out their GS integrated software package, using the GS speed,
and graphics features. Unlike Appleworks which only contains 3 separate
features, "GS WORKS" contains 6 programs in one. Yes, it has the expected
word processor, spread sheet, and data base, but it also has page layout,
graphics, telecommunications, and an 80,000 Webster spell checker and
thesaurus. As an added bonus, it will read and use any files you have
already created with Appleworks. In addition to the Imagewriter it will also
support the Epson printers. (Thanks Kevin for writing the Epson Driver and
getting the GS out of the Imagewriter only syndrome).
 
TML Systems will have version 1.50 of TML Pascal which sports several new
features along with a few bug fixes.
 
Big news from BEAGLE BROS as they announce six new additions to the Time Out
family. A thesaurus, Desk tools II, PowerPak, MacroTools, Accountant, and a
Communications package. They also will tell of plans to add "Paint" to the
power of SuperFonts and Graph.
 
For less than $50, EPYX will allow home video users to add text, graphics,
and special effects to their video recordings with their HOME VIDEO PRODUCER
software.
 
Dr. Bill Basham, of Diversi-Dos, Diversi-Copy fame (yes folks, he gave up
his medical practice to write software back in 1980) has a new winner with
Diversi-Tune. To show off it's greatness, Basham will have famous jazz
musician Nathen Page, of Orlando, Florida recording a live jazz piano album
right at his Applefest booth. Every note will be recorded with Diversi-Tune
and released on 3.5 disk, making it the first live album ever available on a
computer disk. Show Special price on this dandy is only $55.
 
There is lots more to be announced that weekend including a special
announcement from Apple (HINT: CONSUMER LINK), but space does not allow for
all of the details here.
