First sorry for my poor english, i'm french
Second : follow-up to comp.sys.mac.misc

Hi,

I have an old web site, a sort of "musuem" dedicated to the old mascot
of Apple developer : "Clarus, the DogCow".
I'm currently rebuild the site to have a more modern and add some new
material i have store for years.

I just post here this message to request some help to find some
informations, pictures, link or i you run an old mac classic.

I you don't know Clarus, or do not care, i suppose you haven't to read
the following or you'll thing i'm a fool.

First the link to the actuel museum (old) :
<http://clarus.chez-alice.fr/ENGLISH/>
Second the new one, actually under construction :
<http://clarus.chez-alice.fr/beta/>

Some element of Clarus "mythology" are still not very ebviouis and i'm
looking for clues.
So i was looking for :

- a picture of John Sculley woring the moof badge at WWDC'88 during its
keynote speech

- a screen capture of the page set-up dialog for Arabic version of MacOS
(probablly 7 ou 8) that feature a horse instead of the DogCow.
According to Technote 31 and develop article of Mark Harlan, the arabic
version of LaserWriter do note feature DogCow...
"Aanal, Enacku Naiimadu Kaanali!"
(But I can't see the dogcow!, phonetic Tamil)

- Clarus has made a very short return during WWDC 2006 as a widget
during the Leopard presentation (section 9). Any capture would be fine.

- Microsoft has made and ads (1988 or 1989) with a cameo of Clarus
(probably a paper ads and clarus appears has the moof badge)


Voil�.
If you cross any items related to Clarus, i'll take them to add it to
the museum.

I will also listen to any comments on the new museum construction.

Thanks to read me until this line.

Moof!

For what it's worth -> Clarus was a small part of Apple | a software
effort it used the rewrite for the Mac of AppleWorks from the Apple II model
and renamed it ClarusWorks. They had some other titles to but, I can
not remember them.
