MacKichan Software has moved from our Bainbridge Island offices to larger offices in Poulsbo, Washington. Here's how to reach us now:
| Address: | 19307 8th Avenue, Suite C Poulsbo, WA 98370-7370 |
| Phone number: Fax number: |
1-360-394-6033 1-360-394-6039 |
Our email addresses remain the same. This new office site doubles our shipping and storage space, and will allow us to serve your better.
When we moved our offices, our DNS changed, but an out-of-date DNS host record remained on Network Solutions' server. We apologize for any difficulties you may have experienced while trying to access our website at www.machickan.com during this time. We have now updated the record and expect no further problems. The host names used for online licensing and email did not experience any problems and have functioned correctly since the move.
You can easily maintain the link structure you've created for your .tex documents when you export them to HTML. If you have a web of .tex documents that link to one another, changing a single setting in your documents converts the .tex extension in your links to an .htm extension. Read more.
MacKichan Software maintains a single location for unmoderated online discussions using conferencing software from WebBoard. You can customize your use of the message areas, using only the Web interface, receiving email notifications that new messages have been posted, or using only email to read and post messages. If you only want to view messages, you can log in as a guest. If you also want to post messages, you must complete a simple registration with WebBoard.

User John Gresham from Ranger College in Texas has provided two blank grids that you can download as fragments for use in Version 3.5, 4.0, and 4.1 installations:

The information in Typesetting Documents with Scientific WorkPlace® & Scientific Word® Version 4.0, a new manual with Version 4.0, is now available in the Technical Support section of our website. The information includes basic and advanced information about typesetting documents with LaTeX in Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Word. Much of the information also pertains to earlier releases of the software. Topics include how to choose an appropriate document shell and how to tailor the shell to meet your typesetting requirements. Additional topics describe LaTeX packages included with the software and explain how to add typesetting specifications obtained from outside sources.
We've added to the technical information on our website with answers to questions asked frequently by our users. Be sure to read this new information:
