The attached file is a Microsoft Word version of Apple's "PowerBook
Solutions Guide"--previously uploaded in AppleLink image format by Thomas
Fruin . As Thomas pointed out, you need AppleLink
to read the AppleLink version. As a reminder, here's what it contains:

> Here is an extensive listing (69 pages) of PowerBook related hardware
> and software products. It's called the PowerBook Solutions Guide, and was
> compiled by Apple. It will probably answer several of some recently posted
> PowerBook questions, such as the one about 9600 bps internal modems.

Administrivia: I ported the AppleLink image file into Word--a process that
preserved text but no formatting. (The original is a multicolumn document
with headers, footers, reverse video, big square blocks of black, and mostly
Times as its font.) In fact, the process didn't even preserve soft returns
inside paragraphs. But the text is there, including hard page breaks so
the table of contents and index will work (the 1st four pages are treated
as introductory, so you don't get to "Page 1" of the Guide until page 5).
(Stick with me on this, this *will* be on the quiz.) You might want to
change the font size to something small, to stop any soft page returns from
messing up the page numbers.

Hope this helps.
