New Wave.
That's what Hewlett Packard is calling
their new software for Windows 5.0. I saw a
demo of it recently, and was very impressed
with its potential. The basic premise is that
H-P plans to sell a software library to Wmdows software developers. Products would
then be given the attributes ofNew Wave
software. H-P has already got the software
addmnsworking in anumber ofcommercial
products, including Ami Professional, a
Windows 5.0 word processor. At the demo,
they dropped an animafion and a full motion video into a word processor. The word
processor does not need to knew how to
create these things,New Wave simply allows
ment. If
you doubl~ck on the New Wave
window in the word processor, you can directly enter and edit the other p
file. This conceptis similar to DDE, or Dynamic Data Exchange, thatis supported with
many Windows programs. The difference with H-P'sNew Wave is the simplicity with
which it is executed.
The program isdemanding of computer hardware, itneeds a fastSS6 to perform
well, and runs best in 4 megabytes of memory. It will be interesting to see how the
product develops, if it receives wide support, it will take Windows-based computers a
major step forward in the Graphical User Interface wars. It offers the potential to
totally integrate your favourite spreadsheet, word processor, page layout program,
etc., etc., into the ultimate integrated program, complete with"hot links" and cross
application macro capabilities. It retails for C$275.
The GST
You are probably getting a bit tired of hearing about it. Unfortunately, it is going
to have an impact on almost everyone's businesses, so we decided to dig in a bit and
find out what it is aH about. I think you will find the artides worthwhile in giving an
overview of the types of issuesyou will as abusiness person and a consumer have to deal
rograms
3 5
with..
When I found out that we would be seeing a new tax on many products and services
that did not have taxes before, I was appalled. If you are a business, most of these taxes
can bedaimed back. Ifyou are theend consumer, you have to paythem, and you don't
get them back. Itwasat this point thatI pondered the possibilityof setting up my family
as a child-manufacturing industry My wife would be president as well as a
combination kitchen worker,day care centre operator, bookkeeper and social
worker. The family station wagon would become a delivexy vehicle, and our house a
production facility. Unfortunately, my accountant did not think it would By .
Enjoy the issue. <

Norton Support
I gust pxcked up the September 90
edltxen af Thc Geipufer Paperand was
pleasedto read the commentayou made
about Norton Backups. As yau may or
maynotbe aware, I havejustcxpened the
Western afBce of Symantec Canada, and
press related re Norton praducts hits me
near and dear.
Te assist in your defense af the product, I would like to add a couple efpoints
about the Norton ~
of p r o ducts, as
well as the competition.
Norton Backup was designed to
provide users with a safe and rehable,'
solution todatapreserva6on. In business
the realities are that end users don't back,
up, and often it is up te some supportanalysttajiunp&ommachinetoxxlachmemaking sure it gets done. Norton
Backup~ supports multiple device
-
that allow user intexvention. Both features are noticeably absent in Fastback;
or PC Toals 6.0. These cexne in vexy
handy while working in a networked ~
environment Norton Backup also has '
a dear user interface makingmle selection
truly as easy as point~dwheot is supposed to be.
. Na doubt products hke PC Tools and
FastBackaffervalue, but thecambinatian
af Norton Backup~ with Norton Ublities~ 5.0is perhaps thebestchaicewhen
it comes to preserving true data integrity.
I will be more than happy ta provide
your readers with the 61cls about what
Norton can de and the others cannot.

key areas to examine in any vertical system. Unlike true vertical systems, the

In Summary
Some accounting programs stretch
the truth by daiming to be "GST ready."
When you probe a bit, you usually find
they' re talkingaboutproducingupgxades
in December. If the GST passes, which
certainly seems likely, one thing's for
certain: businesses will submit GSI' returns and remissions quarterly or
monthly, deducting as credits the GSI'
they' ve paid on business inputs.
For firms wishing to avoid the drudgeryof traclCing GSTcollectionsand input
credits manually, the first step will be to
make sureyour accounting system is GSTcapable. And who knowsi Maybe you' ll
find thatupgrading your accounting system was a pretty smart move, after all.

more complexthe wayeform; and hence,
the more interesting the sound may be.
The typical FM sound" is characterized
by a bell-like tone, a somewhat "cold"
darily as opposed to the usually "warm
and fat sounds of analog synths.
Digital Samplers
A Bit Of Explanation
COMPUTER,
HUNTERS
(See Figure2.)
An 8-bit sample is comprised of 256
every additional bit doubles the resolution and hence the size of the sample
(e.g., 2 to the power of 9 is 512 steps).
Therefore, imagine how much more acc~
a164 i t sample (with 65556steps)
can describethe contour of a waveform
than an 8 bit sample)
Today, you can get 8-bit sampling
options for most computers for a few
hundreddollars. Afull-blown 16bitMIDI
sound module can cost as little as $100Q.

by Larry DeFchr
Thisyear marks the tenth anniversaxy of the firstpersonal computer Mr beld in the
Vancouver area.
In the summer, the Apples B.C. Computer Society decided to hold an
event that the society's out-o
f toum nsembers could attelrL, Somebody
That first fair, dubbed "The B.C. Personal Computer Fair," was held on a
beautiful August Saturday at the University of B.C. All the local personal computer
user groups were there, as well as a dozen commercial exhibitors. A number of
& Hw & A
local experts gave talks on various computer-related topics. Over 1500 people
showed up for the fair. The ticket-takers at the door were overwhelmed. The
N OTE B O O K
Introducing the smallest, lightest, brightest and
smartest SHARP compact computer on the marketf
manic atmosphere persisted until half an hour before the scheduled end, when a
power outage struck, bringing a slightly-premature end to a hectic day.
With the success of the first Mr, the organizers renamed it the Pacific Coast
Computer Fair" and formed the Pacific Coast Computer Fair Association. The
members of the PCCFA were all members of user groups and took great pains to
ensure that the focus of the Mr was on individual computer users.
~ T he Osbmwel, thelsst pmtabk computer, was rekased. Also an/ nmsnced thatyear seasthapst IBM PC. The clmputer tradejuurnal
InfoWorld said aboutthe NM arinouncement, Whether or not that vsiN

That year, the computer Mr was expanded to two days and was moved to the
Robson Square Media Centre. The new site allowed a larger speakers" program
and more space for exhibits. Attendance was double that of the first fiur and the
organizers chalked up another success.

The 1984 fair celebrated the tenth birthday of the Altair 8800, the first microcomputer available to the general public. The speakers' program featured Les
Soloman, the technical editor of Popular Ekctronicr,Apple co-founder, Steve
Wozniak; Bill Godbout; founder of the Byte Shop stores, Paul Terreii" ,Macintosh
software architect, Andy Herlzfeld; and one of the original shareware authors, Bob
Wallace.
Despite the optimism of the organizers and the quality of the programming at
the fair, the number of commercial exhibitors was only half that of 1988 and
attendance was down, too. As a result, the 1984 Pacific Coast Computer Fair,
although an "artistic success," was something of a financial flop.

Thank- u.
Documentation
The documentation is complete and
collec-
et qu
itea
quite easy
to read. Youg
used to simply jumping to another program. For this reason, you will find
yourself referring to the documentation
for quite some time after you install and
start to use the program. This is actually
one of the few programs I use which I
refer back to the documentation.
Error Handling
In. this environment, error handlingis
tough, to say the least. In the set-up, you
have to set up how to reset a window and
how to reset the whole system. The
defaultway toclearawindowis Ctrl/Alt/
Del. When an application program fiuls
within the window,you reset the window
as if it was a DOS machine.
This is quite nice when 6rst setting
things up because if you are not careful
in your set-up, you can have a lot of
conflicts. AtfirstI had manycrashes, but
once the system was set up to my lihng,
there were fewer crashes than would
normally occur with straight DOS.
One limitation which is of some concern to me is the hck of record and file
locking. When you are in a multitasking
environment, you should have record
and file locking.
For example, let' s sayyou are worldng
on a document in desktop publishing
and you are using a word processor to
maintain the text. You may have both
programs loaded to perfoxxn your work.
With DESQview, thisisa snap. However,
you must be careful to load and unload
the text file each time you switch from
one window to another, or else the
changes are not transferred. If there is
properrecordandfilelocking, thesystem
will force the loading and unloading of
the text file so no possibility of errors
exists.

NeXT Computer
SANFRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, SEP
21 (NB) The latest recording by musical pioneer Paul Lansky has been mastered and two pieces composed on a
NeXT Computer system. Smalltalk from
New Albion Records includes two compositions which use the rhythms and
sounds of everyday speech and abstract
them into new "sound pictures," as the
composer describes them.
Lansky used a general-purpose program called Cmix on a variety of systems
to create'the original compositions. The
original sourcematerial was firstrecorde
and then converted into digital form by
an analogMigital converter. All subsequentprocessingwas done on computer
no synthesizers, samplers, or effects
processors were used.
Lansky, a Princeton University music
professor, has the highest praise for the
NeXTworkstation. 'The NeXT phtform
is ideally suited to creating these sound
pictures because all the computer's capabilities were so well integrated. With
NeXT, I can concentrate on what I want
to express with my music and not be
concerned with how to harness the technology tomake ithappen. Contact: Mike

erally capable of more, with greater precision to boot. One key advantage of
ColorStudio is an optional add-on resource (or an Extended Annex in Letraset
lingo) called Shapes.
Using Shapes gives ColorStudio the
addedcapabilityofxasterizing PostScript
code as an an6aliased high-resolution
bitmap. It's like adding an addifional
layer to ColorStudio's existing Image
and Mask layers, giving it Illustrator or
FreeHand-like PostScript capabilities.
With Shapes and ColorStudio, logos or
other object-orientedartwork can be
rendered ontopofphotographic images,
adding substantially to ColorStudio's
abilities!

A word of warning: these programs
have a positively ravenous hunger for
disk space. In the above-mentioned instance, I started with 50 megabytes (!) of
&ee hard disk space. I opened a twomegabyte gray-scaleTIFF, and converted
it to RGB color mode, with the intent of
colorizing the image. I saved a partly
colored interim working version (now
over '7 MB), then reloaded the original
image. I then decided that I wanted to
