3=> Jeff's Clarification"

Glad to be a new contributor to your newsletter. But, if I can be a 
thorn just this one time, I'd like to remind you of the 
follow up/clarification on my column that appeared in #67 ... 

"At the time I wrote my editorial, the America Online "busy signal" 
problem had yet to be reported widely. Although that later became the 
focus of the various state attorneys' general investigations, at the 
time my column was published, the AG of Pennsylvania (and AGs in most 
other states) were strictly looking into the price change issue. I 
support the actions of AGs who moved, even if slowly, to protect the 
interests of consumers who paid for a service (AOL) they could not use 
due to a lack of modem availability." 

4=> Reader's Choice Awards!

We'd like to thank everyone for participating in the reader's awards.

6=> Product: WinHelp Office 4
Reviewed By: Roger W. Klein, mailto:rklein@compucom.com
Reviewed on: P166, 64 MB EDO RAM, Windows 95
Requires: Word 7 for Windows 95 or NT, 35 MB free space, 8 MB RAM
MSRP: WinHelp Office 4 - $699 (Includes RoboHELP), RoboHELP - $499

For those of you that remember the predecessor to CompuNotes, 
"CyberNews", you remember that it was a graphical electronic magazine 
created in the Windows help file format. You probably also remember 
that is was really cool! By using the Windows help format we were able 
to include screen shots of the applications being reviewed and use 
graphics and hot spots to jump to different sections of the magazine. 
Even if you do remember CyberNews you might not know that is was 
developed using RoboHELP by Blue Sky Software. RoboHELP is by far the 
best application I have ever seen for automating the creation of help 
files. I've used several other products and RoboHELP is the most 
flexible and intuitive of them all. 

The first issue of CyberNews was produced back in September of 1994 
and even back then RoboHELP was a very powerful Help Authoring 
Solution. Since then, RoboHELP has evolved into a multi-platform, 
feature rich, Help Authoring Environment. To go a step further, Blue 
Sky has come out with WinHelp Office 4 which includes a suite of Help 
and HTML authoring solutions. These include: RoboHELP 4, ActiveX 
controls, Moving-to-HTML Kit, WinHelp Hyperviewer, What's This? Help 
Composer, WinHelp Tool Kit, WinHelp Video Kit, and Mastering WinHelp. 

RoboHELP 4 turns Microsoft Word 7 for Windows 95 and Windows NT into a 
help authoring tool for creating Windows Help, HTML-based Help, 
printed documentation, and Intranet/Internet Web sites from a single 
source file. RoboHELP 4 includes a host of powerful new features for 
use in creating Windows Help systems and the new Microsoft HTML Help 
and Netscape NetHelp files. Some of the other new features added to 
RoboHELP are an Enhanced Tool Palette, Dynamic WYSIWYG (allows you to 
see what your help project will look like while you are creating it, 
in previous versions of RoboHELP you had to compile the project each 
time you made a change to see the results)/TrueCode (displays the 
actual WinHelp code), 1 Click Single Source Technology - creates all 
of the files needed for Windows Help, HTML-based Help, printed 
documentation, and Intranet/Internet Web sites all from a single 
source, What's This? Help Composer - allows Help Authors to easily add 
What's This? context-sensitive Help to any applications' dialog box 
controls without programming, Advanced Index Technology - simplifies 
the creation of a Help index, Rich Graphics Support - automatically 
converts popular graphic formats into WinHelp graphics including 256 
color graphics (something missing in the first version of RoboHELP), 
ActiveTest - allows you to view your work in progress without 
compiling, ActiveEdit - on-the-fly editing feature, WinHelp Internet 
Access - allows you to jump to an internet site from within a help 
file, ActiveX Controls - support for ActiveX and OLE Control 
standards, International Support - RoboHELP 4 supports U.S. and major 
international versions of Microsoft Word 7 for Windows 95 and Windows 
NT, AutoUpdate Program - allows you to update RoboHELP to the latest 
standards via the World Wide Web. 

RoboHELP/WinHelp Office works as a snap-in to Microsoft Word adding 
custom tool bars and additional options to the standard Word drop-down 
menus. What's great about this is you really don't have to completely 
learn a new interface to get started using RoboHELP. Sure, there are a 
multitude of features to be used with RoboHELP, but the basic 
interface is Word's. When you launch RoboHELP it automatically 
launches Word and then runs the RoboHELP add-in to create the RoboHELP 
authoring environment. The RoboHELP floating toolbar offers options 
for creating topics, editing topics, creating jumps and popups, 
inserting graphics, inserting buttons, Active Test, goto topic, add 
contents, What's This?, saving in RTF format, setting up and making 
you Help project, a very intuitive Error Wizard, Run Project, and 
RoboHELP Help which is of course superb! The online Help for RoboHELP 
includes "How To" buttons which include step by step instructions on 
how to complete specific tasks. Combined, the online and printed 
documentation provide detailed information for accomplishing any task 
or project with RoboHELP. 

Of the new features for RoboHELP 4 one of the best is the "Contents 
Tab Composer". Anyone familiar with Windows 95 or NT has seen this new 
help format. All of the Help topics are arranged in a hierarchical 
tree that is displayed when you run a Help file and click on the 
Contents Tab. The Contents Tab replaces the "Contents" central to 
legacy Windows 3.x Help systems. Using RoboHELP you can graphically 
design the Contents Tab layout for Help systems you are creating using 
the Contents Tab Composer. To add the Contents tab to your existing 
help system you simply open your project, add the Contents tab 
information and compile. Once the tab has been created you can 
visually organize it be simply dragging-and-dropping the different 
help topics and subjects within the books to suit your needs. For Help 
authors and programmers updating their old Windows 3.x Help systems to 
95 and NT this can be a real time saver! 

As you can tell RoboHELP is the central product in WinHelp Office 4. 
Although as mentioned earlier, there are several other products 
included that make WinHelp Office a strong suite of Help authoring 
tools. The SmartHelp and WebPopupHelp ActiveX Controls allow Help 
authors to easily add Help buttons to any application developed in an 
environment that supports the ActiveX and OLE control standards. This 
allows an author to add popup Help to any Intranet/Internet Web site 
using Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or any other browser supporting 
ActiveX controls. The WinHelp Video Kit supplies everything a Help 
author needs to integrate video and sound into Windows Help systems 
and to create "live" video product tutorials. The Video Kit includes a 
Software Video Camera, a Video Wizard, a Video Tester, a Video Player, 
and Video for Windows Runtime. The WinHelp Tool Kit is a set of tools 
for use by the Help author. These include: Help-to-Word, Help-to- 
Source, WinHelp Inspector, WinHelp BugHunter, WinHelp Graphics 
Locator, WinHelp Graphics Library, and the Moving to WinHelp '95 
Porting Tool. WinHelp HyperViewer allows Help authors to add Windows 
95 type help to Windows 3.x Help systems. WinHelp HyperViewer also 
includes the Compatibility Wizard which allows you to add the Windows 
95 Contents, Find, and Index tabs to Windows 3.x Help systems. The 
included Mastering WinHelp video is great for beginning Help authors 
who want to begin producing professional looking Help systems right 
away. The video also has a companion book "Mastering Windows 95 Help" 
aimed at Windows 95 and Windows NT Help. Finally, the Moving-to-HTML 
Kit provides Help authors with the Moving-to HTML-Help tool and the 
Help-to-HTML Converter. The kit also includes the book "Mastering 
HTML". As mentioned at the top of this review, the MSRP for WinHelp 
Office 4 is $699 - individually all of these products would cost 
nearly $1,600! So for a full featured, powerful, Help authoring 
system, WinHelp Office 4 is the only way to go.

7=> Product: Special Edition Using Access95 by Roger Jennings
Reviewed By:  Robert Hering, mailto:crhering@acy.digex.net
MSRP:  $44.99 U.S.  $59.99 Canada
Pages:  1,290

Book Audience: Intermediate through professional database designers 
will benefit from this significant reference work. 

Author Credentials: Mr. Roger Jennings is a consultant specializing in 
Windows database design and multi-media applications. He was a member 
of the MS beta-test team for previous versions of Access, and several 
versions of the MS Windows Operating System. 

Content: This reference work describes how to use Access 95, Version 
7.0, under Windows 95, in detail. The "Special Edition" description 
refers to specific sections added since the first edition was 
published in 1995. In addition to in-depth guides on how to use Access 
95, this book covers the new 32-bit program features, 32-bit OLE 2.1, 
Structured Query Language (SQL), and Visual Basic for Applications 
programming techniques to be used in Access95. 

The book is organized into the following parts: 

Part 1. Learning Access Fundamentals
These chapters cover how to create, edit and manipulate database 
tables, the basic element of Access databases. 

Part 2. Querying for Specific Information
These chapters demonstrate how to create queries with Access's graphic 
query-by-example (QBE). 

Part 3. Creating Forms and Reports
These chapters cover the primary application objects of Access. In 
Access, tables and queries are considered database "objects." 

Part 4. Powering Access with Macros
This section covers the first level of programming provided in Access 
95. 

Part 5. Integrating Access with Other Office 95 Applications
Introduction into the use of the new 32-bit Object Linking and 
Embedding (OLE) 2.0 features of Access 95 with MS Graph 5.0, plus 
OfficeLinks to Excel 95 and Word 95. 

Part 6. Using Advanced Access Techniques
Covers the theoretical and practical aspects of relational database 
design, and Structured Query Language (SQL). It also describes how to 
use the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Application Programming 
Interface (API) to create Access front-ends for client/server 
databases. 

Part 7. Programming with Visual Basic for Applications
This section assumes the user has no prior programming experience in 
any language. 

Part 8. Completing an Access Application
Focuses on the completion of a tailored application for use by other 
individuals in the context of specific business requirements. Areas 
covered include: Using the Access Developer's Toolkit; Adding Online 
Help for Users; and Migrating Access 2.0 Applications to Access 95. 


Format: Part of the reason for this book's length, and content value, 
is the extensive use of graphics and exhibits, from what you see on 
the screen to examples of actual results, including handy reference 
charts showing related commands and short-cuts. 

Review Comments: This reference book attempts to accomplish three main 
objectives, namely a) using Access 95 to create a database; b) 
introduction and examples of relational database design; and c) the 
use of Visual Basic programming techniques in Access 95. 

The first of these objectives, (eighteen chapters) is accomplished by 
thoroughly discussing and demonstrating how to build a database using 
all the capabilities of Access 95, without resorting to programming or 
other special techniques. This is accomplished by using the Northwind 
Traders database example provided with the Access 95 application. 

Next, starting with Part 6, the reader is introduced to relational 
database design and implementation, how to design a relational 
database, create tables that comply with relational database 
requirements, introduction to data dictionaries, and how to ensure the 
integrity of database records. Sharing database files with peer-to-
peer and Windows NT 3.51 Server networking is explained. 

In Part 7, the reader is introduced to Access Visual Basic for 
Applications (VBA). The chapters contain many examples of data access 
objects (DAOs), with an explanation of how to manipulate them with 
VBA. Also, this section includes an exploration of Object Linking and 
Embedding (OLE) 2.0 in relation to Access 2.0 and the hierarchical 
structure of classes of objects, such as Forms and Reports. 

This book should be considered the standard reference for Access 95. 
It assumes a level of basic knowledge about databases in general, and 
then steeps the reader into the specific methods and tools based on 
Access 95 rules and programming techniques. For the amount of material 
covered, it represents a very significant effort to introduce the 
intermediate user into the highly sophisticated and complex world of 
relational databases.

8=> Interview Section

Jensen Harris is the author of one of the coolest programs for the PC 
going today, CD Alarm. For $6.00 your PC acts like a clock/radio with 
a CD player. Sporting features like an alarm that start off soft and 
gets louder to preprogrammed tracks to wake you up!

Jensen not only churns out great software, but he has a very 
interesting life. Enjoy the interview!

For a copy of CD Alarm download it from 
<ftp://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/clocks/cdalm212.zip>

1) Where did the inspiration for CD Alarm come from?

My roommate my sophomore year in college had a stereo with a clock 
built-in to it. He could set a digital alarm and the stereo would wake 
him up with a track from a CD. This made me very jealous, and I set 
out to create a program which would let me duplicate the functionality 
of these CD alarm clocks without spending extra money on equipment. 

2) How many people use CD Alarm? Best guess . . .

I have about 2242 registered users in my database as of February 26. 
The number of people who actually use CD Alarm is probably much higher 
than that, evidenced by the number of e-mails and comments I get. I 
receive about 5000 downloads per month just on servers I have usage 
statistics on--and CD Alarm is available on a ton of servers and 
online services which I have no control over. Correction: I have 
*exactly* 2242 registered users in my database... :) 

3) Where do new ideas come from? Describe some of the latest?

After the first version, all of the new feature ideas have come from 
users. I get hundreds of e-mails from CD Alarm users a week, many of 
them with great suggestions on how to improve the program. I quantify 
the number of requests for a certain feature and balance that with the 
difficulty of implementing a set of features and I decide what to put 
in based on that. One feature which was often requested was an 
automatic volume control which would start the alarm quietly and then 
slowly raise it--sort of a gradual wake-up feature. This was added 
about two months ago. I'm working on a brand new release, 2.2, right 
now which will include the features I am now asked for most, 
specifically CD playlists, a "sleep" feature which will allow you to 
listen to a certain number of minutes of a CD as you are going to 
sleep, and support for MP3 sound files. I am always open to 
suggestions; I take user feedback very, very seriously. 

4) What type of computer do you use. Describe the configuration, etc.

I have a 150MHz Pentium PC. I have 80 MB of RAM, an Imagine 128 4MB 
video card, a Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card, a 2.5 GB hard drive, a 
GoldStar 8x CD-ROM, a Ditto 3200 tape drive, a 3Com 509 Ethernet card, 
and a Smart and Friendly 2X CD Writer. I run Windows NT Workstation 
4.0 as my operating system of choice, although I do use Linux and 
Windows 95 (for testing) occasionally. I only have a 15" ADI Microscan 
monitor, though. I'd like to get a 17" at some point. 

5) What do you do for a living? If student, what will you do when you 
grow up <grin>

I am a music major here at Yale with a concentration in composition. I 
went to a fine arts high school (Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan) 
as a composer and had very little contact with computers. On the other 
hand, I interned at Microsoft last summer as a Program Manager in Kids 
Software, and I'm hoping to be back next summer. The short answer is 
probably that I will do one of two things: go to a conservatory and 
get a M.M. in composition, or work for some software company straight 
out of school. I haven't really decided which though- -it depends on 
how the next year or so goes. 

6) Why did you choose Visual Basic as the development platform?

CD Alarm was originally written totally in Visual Basic. With each new 
version, more of the code is being rewritten in Visual C++--but the 
interface will likely always be done in Visual Basic because of the 
difficulty in transferring it over correctly. I chose Visual Basic 
because I never intended to release CD Alarm as a shareware 
application. I wrote it purely for my own use, and Visual Basic was 
the quickest way to get something that was functional without having 
to do a great deal of debugging. Eventually I showed the program to my 
friends, and they all wanted copies too. One of them said "why don't 
you release it as shareware?" I thought about it and decided that I 
had nothing to lose--so I cleaned up the code and released version 
1.0. CD Alarm is one of the only projects I work on now which is still 
in VB. I do about 80% of my development in Visual C++ at this point--
but Visual Basic still has great strengths as a rapid development 
tool. It has served me well in that capacity. 

7) WHat is the coolest thing about the internet? What is the coolest 
thing on the internet?

The greatest thing about the internet is the huge wealth of 
information available. I love being able to keep up with world news, 
computer news, software releases, sports scores, and everything else 
right from my room in New Haven, CT. It's also great to be able to 
keep in touch so easily with friends all over the world--I have great 
friends in Massachusetts, Seattle, and Italy which I would probably 
not still be very good friends with if it weren't for e-mail. The 
biggest problem with the Internet is the difficulty in finding 
information--but I think as intelligent agents and selective push 
technologies become more refined and prevalent, this will get better. 
The coolest thing on the Internet? At one point I would have said my 
once-popular Mediocre Site of the Day web site, but since I no longer 
update it, it is not so wildly popular anymore. I enjoy the online 
magazines Suck and Slate quite a bit (although in some ways, they are 
very different). I also enjoy (strangely) looking at home pages of 
people I don't know. I find it very interesting. 

8) Why don't you charge much for using CD Alarm?

Well, CD Alarm *is* shareware--but the registration fee is very, very 
low compared to all of the other alarm programs on the market. I would 
much rather have many people using my program and enjoying it than to 
have only a few people using it but me getting a lot of money. I don't 
develop CD Alarm for money--as long as I continue to make enough to 
justify the time I spend supporting and developing CD Alarm, I am 
happy. And I hope I give some of the best support available for any 
product, shareware or commercial. Most of my other software IS 
freeware. Right--they can evaluate it for 30 days before registering 
though... just want to be clear. Anyone can download it and use it-- 
only if they like it and want to use in indefinitely do they have to 
register. (just wanted to be clear). 

9) Any other computer projects on the horizon?

I am very interested in developing extensions to the Windows shell-- 
I've already started work on a program which will offer an easy way to 
modify the Start Menu. In addition, I am working on a program called 
NTPopUp which is a Winpopup-like program for NT. I may have a surprise 
or two up my sleeve for the coming year. I don't want to give too much 
away. :) 

10) Who's had the most influence on your life and why?

Undoubtedly the teachers and mentors I spent three years with at 
Interlochen. I learned how to think for myself at Interlochen. I 
learned what it meant to have ambition, and I learned how to follow 
through on that ambition. I have always had a great deal of creative 
energy, but I didn't learn to channel it until I came to Interlochen. 
It didn't matter that I studied music in particular--the values and 
work ethic I learned at Interlochen stretched across everything I have 
done since, from getting in to Yale (and I had about a D average my 
freshman year in high school) to writing CD Alarm.
