Some other useful software products at NCC (check out the 7/9 WSJ or USA Today
for the big Apple Ad) ;

FILEVISION - A rather impressive graphics/object oriented database program
from TELOS software. Could really be a big hit. Check your local dealer.
It's worth a peek.

DAVONG HARD DISK - Imagine opening a disk icon, and seeing '8290K available'!
Can't wait.

MAC-DAISYWHEEL Connection - from Assimilation Process, allows the MACintosh to
print with any popular daisy wheel letter quality printer. Also, EPSON had a
program (printer driver) there that allowed the EPSON FX and MX printers to
be used on the MAC.

KOALA Video Interface - with software by Bill Atkinson, this device adds a
desktop accessory on the MAC which allows you to read in from any composite
video source (VCR, B/W Camera) into the Clipboard. You can then paste into
MACWRITE (or anywhere else), and edit at will. KOALA Hardware and software
will sell for approx. $300. You can buy a B/W camera for about $300 as well.
This should be a big hit.

LOTUS MAC Product - Lotus should us a '75% complete' version of their unnamed
MAC product, essentially a MAC version of SYMPHONY. They didn't show much,
so I could get too impressed. I was definitely not impressed with what they
showed. I thought their choice of menus and dialog boxes was rather poor.

LISA 7/7 - Apple has done a smart thing with their LISA software packages.
They upgraded all the packages (Lisa Calc,Draw,Graph,List,Project,Terminal,
and Write) and packaged them together into one package called Lisa 7/7. It
is a complete integrated package for $695. Needs a Lisa 2, with 1MB memory,
and a hard disk.

SARGON III - looks neat on the MAC!

MACPascal and MACterminal are supposedly available now. A new disk based
MACwrite is coming, but not from Apple.

This is all I know on these things, so please don't ask me anything further.
Check your local dealer for more info.
