PHASAR Personal financial management software. My life
would be a shambles without it.
SCULPT-3D 3D Modeling software, creates wireframes and
ray tracings from user-input geometry. Still the
best user interface of all the myriad modelers.
Deluxe Paint Need I say more? Still haven't upgraded to III.

Registered owners are $20 and manual cover.

For Productivity I'm plased with:
---------------------------------
Diskmaster I think it's the greatest utility I've seen
Excellence! Word Processing (good family use, easy o learn)
and - beautiful postscript on an LPS40!
Maxiplan Plus Spreadsheet. Much nicer than I expected.
Draw 2000 New, and starting to grow on me ....
2D object oriented CAD system. Could be better
but it meets my needs (reasonable price/performance)
Guess it's as close to MacDraw as I'm gonna get!
For Fun:
--------
Deluxe Music Gives pretty nice results. It sure could could
use some user interface enhancements.
PhotoLab/DPaint These are a toss up to me. They each sport
features the other lacks. Right now I favor
DPaint as being the best all around.

| Never being the overly serious computer type my favourites are:
Utilities
---------
o Deluxe Paint II (need upgrade)
o Microfiche filier (its actually quite reasonable for the price
- but dont expect miricles!!!)
o Award maker plus (got to be the greatest little package since
sliced bread)
o Gizmoz - ok but I'd like a better terminal emulator
o Kindwords - quite a nice little WP
GAMES:
------
o The Bards Tale I & II - FANTASTIC!!!
o Rocket Ranger - excellent game/little slow in places
o Test Drive - Good fun
o Hybris - good shoot em up

| 2539.7 | Gimme that SetCPU 1.5 :-) | FRAMBO::BALZER | | Wed May 10 1989 06:07 | 9 |
|
Would it be possible to send me that SetCPU 1.5???
Or even better make it available on Tape::
I currently use 1.4 and am quite happy with it (especially FASTROM),
but would like to get rid of that clicking...
I assume that it is out of gamma testing by now...

| I suspect Dave will make it available on PLINK this weekend. I prefer
not to distribute the Gamma 4 version. It does appear to be relatively
bug-free at this point.

| Re .8
OkeyDokey, please upload it somewhere into the EasyNet as soon it's
finished. A PLINK account from here (Germany) would leave me starvin.
Thanks,

| 2539.11 | Conman???dropcloth??? | 37090::HERB | | Wed May 10 1989 21:20 | 11 |
| My most useful program is utilimaster but it does not support zoo
or warp. I always use it to move around files.
What is MachII??? I have heard so much about it but I do not know
what it does.
Also I like Jlib 2.0a which adds commands to amigabasic. Is there
any othjer program that does this?

Conman controls CLI windows. It lets you shrink/expand/close windows
at the touch of a button.
Dropcloth is a 'novelty' program that I use to set my Workbench
screen apart from all others. It puts a pattern (or 4 color picture)
of your choice on the entire workbench screen. When you open a
window, the backround in the window is plain (no pattern) so it
is easy to see all windows you have open.
MachII is necessary (IMO). It lets you speed up the mouse (to any
level), blank the screen (at any time, and at any level), blanks
the mouse pointer at any time (if you want). It also lets you define
all the function keys and set the time.
MachII also displays the time, chip-mem, and fast-mem at all times
in the title bar at the top of the screen. It allows you to set
time alarms, and low memory warnings.

| 2539.14 | Utilimaster is totally configurable... | CGOFS::CADAMS | Clint Adams - Calgary, Canada | Wed May 10 1989 22:38 | 7 |

re.. .11
Utilimaster has configurable gadgets, it's real easy with the
configuration utility (UmUtil) to have UtiliMaster do anything you
can do from CLI or a Shell. Read up on UmUtil docs.
