NEW VERSION OF EXPRESS!
Express, the popular printer spooler for the IIGS is now available in a new version with many significant enhancements to the previous version.
The overall performance has been improved. Spooling is faster even with parallel cards. Printing speed is faster especially for serial port connections. You can even "fine tune" Express to your particular hardware to achieve the best possible performance.
The printing cache has been increased, which results in much less disk access when a file is printing in the background, which also helps increase printing speed. Express now lets you specify the name and location of the spool folder (it can be put anywhere, including RAM disks or the "data" partition of a hard drive).
Express automatically prints multiple copies of a spool file and supports printing in color with the latest ImageWriter.CL driver.
There are many other enhancements which make this new version notable. Registered users of any earlier version of Express can upgrade for only $12.50 (plus $3.50 s&h). The suggested retail price is only $49.95 so order your copy today and stop wasting time!
ANNOUNCING THE MANAGER!
IIGS users can now benefit from the same technology that Macintosh users enjoy--The Manager is the first and only true MultiFinder for your Apple IIgs! Multiple applications can be open simultaneously and moving among them is as simple as clicking in a different window...it even supports multi-tasking for compatible applications without requiring additional software. This is a tremendous time saver because you don't have to quit one application to start using another, which is especially convenient when copying and pasting between applications.
Use The Manager to create your own integrated environment...just open your favorite IIgs-specific word processing, painting, DTP, telecom and other programs, then instantly move among them! It is compatible with AppleWorksÊGS, GraphicWriterÊIII, Platinum Paint, Teach, and more. It even works with system extensions such as Express, Kangaroo, TransProgÊIII, and others.
The Manager requires System 6 and as little as 2MB memory (4MB recommended for greatest efficiency; required for some program combinations). A hard drive is not required but is recommended because you'll want a fast response from your disk drive when you instantly select programs on the screen.
The Manager is the perfect way to increase your productivity!
Suggested retail is only $69.95. The Manager is available directly from Seven Hills Software or most of the leading Apple II mailorder companies.
