In our market, the debate rages with our customers as to which is more suitable for their needs, a PDA or laptop.

Magic Xchange provides a DDE server-based mechanism as a simple API so that developers only need to make a couple of straightforward calls instead of implementing a full DDE client. As to what is failing w.r.t. the FreeStyle program's use of the API, they will need to look at it in order to determine the cause of the failure. > This begs another question...

It can be found on the Magic Cap website (used to be under Develop/IntelliLink, I think, but they have been revamping, so it may be elsewhere now). There are docs and samples for PC, Mac and Magic Cap packages for getting data on and off of Magic Cap. It is also all on the Developers' Conference CD from last fall.

Bruce,
TrackOMatic is on Brian Leach's home page at:

There are links to that page (as well as the freeware on your site, Bruce)

I found a copy of it on the CW9 Gold Reference CD too. (I don't remember it being part of CW8, so it must have taken a break or something.)

Subject: Graffiti use
I had the chance to play around with the Pilot this past weekend. I don't think I like it very much. It is fast but very basic! It feels like a toy. I was playing around with Graffiti and I was wondering how this is in comparison to the Link? I know the Link does not have seperate windows for text and numbers, How does this work on the Link? I am not sure how much faster this is than using the keyboard. How does this work with the Scribe software? Thanks Scott Wood

Scott,
I adapted this from a message Steve Klingsporn (list manager) posted a
while back. This should do the trick.

Subject: MCW under NT?
[This message may have contained graphics created by a Magic Cap device on America Online.] I run MCW under NT. Seems to work fine for me. Now to get VC++ apps integrated into MCW.... Suggestions, anyone? ORIGINAL MESSAGE: ...I'm curious as to whether or not MagicCap for Windows will run under NT, and if so, how well as compared to Win 95 and Win 3.x machines. Also, are there any developers who are migrating to MagicCap for Windows as an alternate/complementary platform versus standalone MagicCap devices?

This patch has been freely available all along on PersonaLink and through Sony's ML address on AOL. There is an easier and more permanent way to get it however. Eternity 1.3, and presumably any subsequent versions, has the patch incorporated in it and when you restore your personalization from Eternity it installs the patch automatically. Eternity 1.3 is freeware and can be had at Spies, and in the freeware areas on AOL and Compuserve. It is also a small package and easily mailable. If you have no other access to it and you use Presto!Mail, I would be happy to mail it to you; just drop me a card.
