Updates Available for Apple Products
*  Apple A/UX, version 1.1 (1/89), for Macintosh II and Macintosh IIx.
This version has improvements to the Toolbox; lets Macintosh and UNIX
application run within the same environment; supports the AppleCD SC;
has color support; and serial line interface protocol.  Subscribers to
the A/UX Software Update Service receive A/UX 1.1 automatically.
User-installable update kits are available on tape or diskettes
(2/15/89) from A/UX dealers only.
 
*   Macintosh system software, version 6.0.3 (1/89), is a revision of
system software 6.0.2 to support the 030 direct slot of the Macintosh
SE/30. This version is necessary to support the Macintosh SE/30, only.
Users of any other Macintosh computer need not update. This version
also includes an updated version of Apple File Exchange.
 
*   MacWorkStation, version 3.1 (1/89), provides host programmers with
full access and control over windows, pull-down menus, and dialog boxes
without requiring them to learn the traditional Macintosh programming 
environment. It has full RGB color support for all user interface
objects. There are Presentation Layer Improvements, including error
report to local users. Single-user versions are available through APDA;
organization-wide licenses are available through Apple Software
Licensing.
 
*   Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW), version 3.0 (1/89), includes
Projector, a source code management system, helps keep track of changes
to source files; and SADE, a fine-tuned source-level debugging tool for
use with MPW C and Pascal compilers.
 
*   Macintosh system software, version 6.0.2 (9/88), replaces version
6.0 and corrects sound and color problems and includes these updated
files: ImageWriter LQ 2.0, AppleTalk ImageWriter LQ 2.0 and AppleShare
Workstation 2.0.1.  It has all the features of version 6.0:
 
     * Increased processing speed
     * CloseView: a special screen utility can magnify the Macintosh
screen display from 2X to 16X normal size.  Requested from either the
control panel or the keyboard (as the user prefers), the magnification
can be black on white or white on black.  Documentation for CloseView
is included in the Software 6.0 software manual.
     * MacroMaker: a utility that can automate repetitious tasks or
create keyboard equivalents for menu items.  MacroMaker is as easy to
use as atape recorder -- record a series of keystrokes or menu actions
to form a ''macro,'' and then assign a keystroke combination to recall
the macro when needed.  Finder functions such as opening and closing
files and folders can be automated.
     * Macintosh System Software Version 6.0 also includes previous
features such as the MultiFinder operating system which is Apple's
multitasking software that extends the power of the Macintosh.
 
 * Apple Tape Backup 40SC Software has been revised (9/88) to work with
A/UX systems, allowing partitions to be backed up by volume. It has the
ability to verify the 
reliability of data cartridges and be used as an online storage unit.
It also provides backup and restore by volume and file .
      Advanced Disk utility provides the ability to partition,
initialize and erase hard disks. With the Installer, startup disks can 
be customized to match users' system configurations. Version 4.0
requires 512 RAM and ROM version 01.
