Trying to spare a tree

Article Abstract:

Williston, VT-based Solutions Inc's $119.95 SuperGlue II is a utility program for the Apple Macintosh that enables users to transfer copies of files to another user even if the second user does not own a copy of the application in question. SuperGlue II works by fooling the computer into thinking a printer is asking for the file; it then makes a copy of the file that can be viewed by anyone. SuperGlue II will make copies of any file, including documents with graphics and multiple fonts. SuperGlue can also be used across a network, or via modems. The recipient need not have his own copy of SuperGlue II. SuperGlue II comes with a viewing accessory that is free to be copied, and can be given to anyone who would want to view the copied file. SuperGlue II requires a Mac Plus with at least 1Mbyte or RAM and System 6.0 or higher. Aptos, CA-based Aladdin Systems' $79.95 Shortcut file management utility for the Mac is also discussed.

Words with aliens

Article Abstract:

Legacy Software's Mutanoid Word Challenge computer game is a Scrabble-like program that pits a 7-year old child or older with weird looking mutanoids. Words that are typed in by the player to score points are checked against a built-in 65,000-word dictionary. The Mutanoid Math Challenge presents simple equations instead of words. Both programs are DOS-based and sell for $49.95 each. Powersolutions for Business' Planmaker is a $129 program that automates the process of creating a business plan. A user supplies the data and the software organizes it into a professional presentation. Planmaker creates an Executive Summary and four preformatted spreadsheets: the Twelve-Month Proforma for financial projection, a Three-Year Projected Income Statement, the Cash Flow Projection and a Balance Sheet. Business Software Companion by Tom Badgett and Corey Sandler is a $22.95 guide to 14 popular applications.
