Re: Nota-Bene etc. I believe that the people were looking for a word
processor that had a built in text base and handled french and spanish.
i don't think either word or wordperfect can cvlaim that. also you are
right you *can* make the other programs use the ecs, but nb was designed
to make it easy to do so, both on the keyboard and to the printer. finally,
if people are using word or wp already i wouldn't push them to switch, but
if you're starting out and you want to do foreign characters why not
sdtart with the program that's designed to do that from the beginning?

I have a copy of the Macintalk system file and would be glad to share it
with the Humanist community, but my understanding is that Apple requires a
distribution fee for this. My copy came with one of the Pascal compilers I
use and this, I believe, is how most people acquire the file--from other
commercial sources.

Why is it that the tone of those defending Mac is to the tone of those
defending DOS as the voice of Chaucer's Miller is to the voice of the
Reeve?
