Chicago ACT! USER GROUP
Meeting Notes
Meeting Date: September 1997
NEWS YOU CAN USE: ACT! 3.0
users, the latest release of ACT! for Windows 95 is version 3.0.7. The
3.0.7 patch discs will update versions 3.0 through 3.0.6. (Use the command
HELP, ABOUT ACT! to check which version you have.) If you don't have the
latest update, you can download it from Symantec's Web site (or use ACT!'s
LiveUpdate feature). Symantec has also just announced ACT! 3 for Windows
3.1 users. This version of ACT! is available at no charge to ACT!3 for
Windows 95 users and for less than $100 for ACT! 2 users. ACT! 3 for
Windows 3.1 will be particularly useful to users who need to share and
exchange data across different platforms (operating systems). Also,
Symantec recently announced ACT! 2.8 for the Macintosh. (Up until now, the
most recent version of ACT! for the Macintosh was 2.5.) The new version,
though not identical to ACT! 3, incorporates a number of "ACT! 3-like"
enhancements—among them a view list feature which enables the user to edit
field entries and sort contacts while in "list view".
Two versions of ACT! for portable machines
are now available: ACT! for Windows CE and ACT! for the Pilot. On a sad
note, Symantec has officially discontinued support for ACT! for
DOS.
MEETING FEATURE: FAVORITE TEN ACT!
