     Friday afternoon I received V2.0 of the Magic Sac software which had
been posted by Federal Express next day service on Thursday.  I took it home
and tried it out briefly over the weekend.

     There is now a copyaa program which allows people with only one disk
drive to make backup copies of their Magic disks.

     The single disk drive copy bug has been fixed.

     FreeTerm now works.

     Also, the problem I was having with the transmit program appears to be
fixed, although I didn't have a Mac to check it out with.

     Version 2 comes with a readme which gives a brief list of programs that
run under Magic Sac and a more detailed explanation of the problems that
might come up when running a program under Magic Sac.

     It ain't perfect yet, but I am sure impressed with the service.  Four
bugs fixed in two weeks, and Federal Express shipping.

     Magic Sac is now in a state where I would certainly recommend it as an
add on for ST users.  You won't be getting a full MacIntosh, but it runs
enough Mac software (faster than a Mac) to be worth the price.
