The above Desk Accessories (DAs) appear on the pre-release disk entitled
VideoWorks (by MacroMind, authors of MusicWorks).

1. First, thank you to everyone who sent mail reminding me that MacroMind
   is the developer of MusicWorks.

2. I called Hayden Software (600 Suffolk Street, Lowell, Massachusetts 01854,
   800-343-1218) and spoke to a Mr. Alan Jacobs.  He gave me the following
   information:

   a) VideoWorks -- Expected release date is the end of April.  Expected
                    price is $99.95.  It will include 3 disks: the VideoWorks
                    application disk, a disk of sample movies, and a clip art
                    disk.

   b) ArtGrabber -- This DA is a proprietary product.  The expected release
                    date is mid-March.  It will be released on a clip art
                    disk called 'Body Shop'.  Expected price is $49.95.
                    (ArtGrabber gives you a window who maximum size is a
                     full MacPaint file.  You size the window up to almost
                     full screen, read in a Macpaint file, select a portion,
                     and 'Swipe' it into the clipboard.  The clipboard can
                     hold a 512X342 pixel image, this DA lets you select
                     up to that size an image.)

   c) Heap Doctor - Mr. Jacobs did not know about these DAs, whether they are
      TrapList      public domain or not.
      MemWindow

If I can verify that Heap Doctor, TrapList, and MemWindow are public domain
I will be happy to post them.  Incidently, Dan Winkler's EXPLORE DA is a
better version of MemWindow (personal opinion).  Dan posted his DA recently,
it is presently archived at SUMEX.
