on page 43 of Chilton's Guide to Macintosh Repair and Maintenance is a
description of a diagnostic program sold by Greg Guerin;  does anyone
know anything about this program?  (sounds a lot like MacTest, the last
version of which I have seen was 7.0, but there must be later ones)

	<start-quote>

The technical advisor for this book, Greg Guerin, has created a special
diagnostics program ....  

This program contains tests for all the essential systems and funtions
of the Macintosh.

You can order a copy of this [...] program from
	Tetra, P.O. Box 26275, Tempe, AZ 85282.

The cost is $30 for all readers in North America; $35 for those outside NA.
This includes shipping and handling charges. (AZ residents add 6%) ...

The program tests (1) RAM, (2) ROM, (3) disk read/write and write protect,
(4) keyboard, (5) mouse movement and button, (6) speaker, (7) clock chip
and battery, (8) printers, (9) printer port, (10) modem ports,
(11) screen focus, and (12) screen linearity.

...<description of selecting and looping of tests>...
