I've scanned a copy of the UltraMacros Primer to PDF.

You can download it at:
http://www.unmarked.com/labs/deja2/files/um_primer.zip

I've checked with Warren Williams and Cathy Merritt at NAUG and got
the OK to scan and distribute it to the Apple II folks, so you ti
should be fine upload the PDF to any appropriate A2 archives.

Mark,

Thanks for going to the trouble to scan your book.

I suppose you had to break down one of your remaining bound copies
just to scan it in a reasonable amount of time. Too bad the NAUG folks
didn't still have the source Word/PageMaker/etc master files from 20
years ago laying around. <grin>

I'm really glad you did this. I've treated my bound copy with kid
gloves. Now I can print out a working copy that will lay flat when I
need it to.

Your UltraMacros Primer (now available without charge), and Nelken's
Ultra-AppleWorks and Ultra to the Max tutorials should give anyone who
really wants to learn the _real_ power of AppleWorks exactly what
they need.

BTW, the dot command you just came up with that runs an AppleScript
script has the potential to do some neat things. I look forward to
working with it.

Hugh Hood...

I did have to sacrifice a copy of the book to the scanner. I think the
end result was much better (and done much faster) than if I had tried
to keep it bound.

It was either that, or type everything in again. I'm pretty decent on
the keyboard, but that still would have take much, much longer. :)

I believe the original files for the book were in QuarkXPress. Heck,
in 1990, we didn't even have this fancy thing as the internet yet. I
believe that was back in the days of AOL and Bulletin Board Systems.
:)

I agree that the Applescript dot command opens a lot of possibilities
because it truly links the two worlds together and you can
theoretically hand of data from the AppleWorks world and then move
with it in the Mac OS X world without missing a step.
