The Gradient making box in Adobe Illustrator has proven to be more useful than I at first believed. Combined with filters which generate poygons or stars, the gradient maker enabled me to experiment so easily that I blew an entire afternoon trying this and that. I would never make this many custom blends at one sitting I can assure you! What is interesting is that a gradient will fill the selected object or objects independently, loading each one from edge to edge when the gradient is chosen in the paint pallet. We can also sweep across a number of selected blends at one time with a different result. The flowers on this page represent a delightful way to study how changing the points in the gradient control box will change the appearance of my design. I can see the changes immediately. For example, the largest flower element is composed of twelve petals joined together with the Unite filter making one object. That object is copied, pasted in front, reduced and rotated several times. With all the objects selected, I just clicked away down the list of named gradients in the Paint box and watched the results. I paused to redesign some interesting gradients. There are reasons, ofcourse, to make custom blends instead ofloading gradients. The position of highlights on an irregular surface, such as the fender of a car, the curve of an eagle's beak or the multiple surfaces of a child's face, requires that we draw complex objects and fill them with complex blends. That capability will continue to make Adobe Illustrator a prime tool for artists.

In this issue there are now Disk Order Forms for the Apple II, Apple IIGS, and the W Apple III. The librarians would like to receive comments pro and con on the new set-up versus the old listing format. Direct your comments to me via the Washington Apple Pi office and I'll try to respond to them. I would also like your comments in regard to Public Domain software that you would like to see included in our Disk Libraries. Since we no longer publish the titles of the disks in the library, it is advisable to order the Disk Library Catalog Disks for the machine you are using. Each month we will endeavor to provide information on new additions to the libraries or feature disks currently in the libraries. Some of the disks in the Apple Disk libraries contain SHAREWARE. Ifyou use any ShareWare program, please send the Shareware fee to the author. By submitting the fee, we encourage the author(s) to develop more software. Special Note: All Apple II, IIGS, III and Macintosh disks containing your current disk library offerings can be exchanged for new disks at the Pi office free of charge. For exchanges made by mail, please be certain to include one dollar per disk to cover shipping and handling. Thank you.
