Subject: [*] Tex-Edit Plus for OS X 4.1.3b3J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Tex-Edit Plus package.
**This is the beta version of the Mac OS X package.
Tex-Edit Plus is a scriptable, styled text editor that fills the gap
between Apple's bare-bones SimpleText and a full-featured word
processor. It's fast, efficient, and has a clean, uncluttered interface.
It's also great for cleaning up text which is transmitted over the
Internet.
Tex-Edit Plus features: Extensive munging
abilities, unlimited file size, Drag&Drop support, AppleScript support,
Word Services support, Speech Manager support, picture handling, sound
handling, movie handling, ability to create SimpleText Read-Only
documents, and much more.
Tex-Edit Plus can read and write UTF-16 (unicode) text. The new file
format is fully backward compatible with previous versions.
Tex-Edit Plus supports unlimited undo and redo.
Each paragraph can be formatted individually. These new paragraph
settings include text justification (left, center, right, full), space
above, space below, left indent, right indent, first line indent (or
hanging outdent), and bottom border (in one of several line styles).
Each paragraph can also have its own line spacing (in one point
increments) and dominant text direction (useful for right-to-left
scripts).

I have iMac 350 (Summer 2000)(fanless). I replaced original 7GB drive
with Fujitsu MPG3409AT (40GB/5400RPM/2M cache/3.1 bels idle noise) a
year ago and it hasn't produced any problem. It doesn't have any high
"pitched noise" - and that is the key for my nervous system
. Btw, I bought 40GB Maxtor before that and thrown it because its sound.
I haven't seen any new IBM drives. I had an old 16GB IBM drive some time
ago. If 7200 is not a key for you I would suggest Fujitsu because of its
ear-care almost soundless operation.
I would add that almost all "reviews" I read when I decided to buy a new
HD, referred to a fan-equipped machines, but as you know fan sound can
"soften" drive noise. Please, take this as note.
Sincerely,
Grigory

Subject: Latin spelling and grammar
My daughter is taking Latin and I have searched - unsuccessfully -
for a Latin spelling and grammar module for either MSWord or
Appleworks. Does any one know where I might be able to find
something for either of these programs? Failing that, can anyone
suggest a good stand-alone Latin spellchecker? Thanks.

Hi Ed,
have a look at http://www.scantips.com/ for information about
scanning. In a nutshell, scanning slides on a flat bed scanner will
give inferior results. If you are serious about quality get a film
scanner.

I use the Nikon Coolscan III with a SCSI interface on a PB 3400. It
works great. I think there is a newer version out now that probably
has a few more features. Use the best resolution you can get. My
only complaint is that I have to manually feed the slides. The
quality is better than I got from commercial slide scanning services.
I rescanned the slides I previously had done and the results were
much better. It takes time to learn how to get the best results from
the scanning process. I had to redo the first ones a few times as I
learned how to do a better job.
