Thanks Brian. It'll be nice to have so much information under one (virtual) roof).
Also, if anyone has photos or other images they'd like to share, I've been maintaining a Canon Cat group on Flickr for some time.

I'm happy to add any documents that I don't currently have posted.

I was just lookingat the photos. The first few were of my
Cat. The model airplane was one of the kits that Jef Raskin
designed. The dual tail fin is a modification of his design.
The original was just straight vertical and I made the two Vs.
It needed a little more surface area to work well but still
flew fine with a little extra adverse yaw.
It was intended as a combat slope glider.
I was to one on the right about to enter a key on the
keyboard.

Thank you for the nice Seasonal Gift of putting all the CAT and Swyft
documents
where we can gain access to this treasure trove.
Blessing to you.

Errata noticed:
1) I found that label "Specification 84 05" links to document
"Specification 84 04"
A, it would be nice, please for future insertions to the archive, have
some kind of "Insertion date" as part of the label.
That way newer additions are quickly spotted by those of us also
collecting these documents.
Again. Thank you for your efforts and work to make these available
for the world.

You should probably contact Jim and ask him. He probably nabbed them from another site and archived them on Flickr for posterity.
Jim lives in Chicago and is the CEO of Pre1 Software. You can contact him here:

I used it on a pretty long text and now I can't find it after moving everything to a new iMac. There are a number of places that seem to want to sell it and I can't tell if they are legit.
Apple bundled New Century Schoolbook (along with several other typefaces) with the drivers that came with its LaserWriter and StyleWriter printers. Since those products were discontinued, those particular fonts were not longer included with the operating system (or the legacy driver software on the Apple site.) There are several foundries and distributors which sell commercial versions of New Century Schoolbook, but the versions that Apple supplied will have slightly different metrics (and most likely, internal naming conventions).
I have several extra copies of Apple printer driver installation floppies which contain TrueType versions of New Century Schoolbook. Contact me off-list and we can arrange something.

I'd taken full sized glider lessons while in Florida.
When I came back to California, all they had in the bay
area was ridge lift.
It made me sea sick but I stll liked the thought of flight.
I started flying RC slope gliders. After several crashes,
I found it quite relaxing and enjoyed hours of flying,
mainly a Sunset Beach.
I've not had much time to do it lately and would need
to upgrade my RC stuff to fly with others on the same slopes.
One thing I found, it is much harder to fly a model RC
than to fly a real plane.
The crashes are a little more forgiving though.

The ones you're referring to are of the Jef Raskin computer that you
sold me, via eBay, in 2008. I can't recall if you emailed me the
photos or if those were in the auction listing.
If you want, I can either pull them (and re-take them) or credit you
in the text description. Just let me know what you prefer.
Best,
Jim
