Helene Adele is an English woman. She was born in 1907. Helene Adele was the victim of an attempt to pervert the course of justice by two Metropolitan police constables in 1928. In July 1928 Helene Adele was staying in a taxicab parked in a garage in London, with permission that she might sleep overnight in the taxi, when two PCs inspected the garage on their patrol. One constable entered the cab and tried to force Helene Adele to have sex with him. She refused, threatened to report the officer, and was subsequently arrested and charged on fabricated charges of using insulting words and behaviour. The truth came out in court, and Helene Adele was acquitted and the two constables charged with perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice. At the officers trial an Acting-Sergeant gave false evidence that at the time of the incident one of the officers had been at the station. Both officers were convicted to 18 months hard-labour and the Acting-Sergeant was dismissed from the force for giving false evidence. Research Helene Adele

Basys is a client-server computer system used by almost all broadcasting organisations for storing and manipulating newsroom information including: wire stories, show scripts, assignment lists and contact files. The main database runs on a UNIX file server (usually two or three mirrored computers) supporting a number of client workstations which are either dumb terminals (VT) or DOS/ Windows based PCs. The system is used by journalists to write the news stories which are then broadcast. Basys is very configurable, and many organisations use customised versions - the BBC's version being called 'Edit'. Research Basys
Carbon Copy Plus by Microrim is a menu-driven remote control program for IBM-compatible microcomputers that allows the user to control and/or monitor one PC from another over a communications link. Suitable for support purposes and typically used with standard dial-up modems, Carbon Copy Plus connects two PCs so their screens and keyboards are linked as one. Whatever the remote user sees on-screen will be seen on the local screen. Users can open up a movable chat window where they can type messages to each other. Whatever is displayed on the host screen is displayed on the guest screen. Carbon Copy Plus includes a universal graphics translator, that automatically translates CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules, and PS/2 graphics images when dissimilar graphics adapters are used in the host and guestPC. Files can be transferred between machines using commands similar to those in DOS. Carbon Copy Plus supports background file transfer, allowing the hostPC to send or receive files while working in a foreground application. Research Carbon Copy Plus

MacLinkPlus/PC by Dataviz is an advanced file-transfer and translation software program that provides built-in communications. The program is designed to allow seamless file exchange between Macintoshes and IBMPCs or Macintoshes and Macintoshes. It can be used with modems or cable and includes software for both the Macintosh and the PC. The package includes a serial cable to connect a PC (25-pin) to MacSE, Mac Plus or Mac II (8-pin DIN). If you are using a Mac 128 or 512, which uses 9-pin serial ports, Dataviz includes a card that can be sent in, with the original cable, to exchange for the correct cable. The package's file translation capabilities provide a clean conversion of file format and contents, including control codes, spreadsheet formulas, and databases. Translations are supported between application formats such as MacWrite, Microsoft Excel, Lotus, Microsoft Word, MultiMate, WordStar, WordPerfect, OfficeWriter, dBase, and DIF. If you have PCs and Macintoshes sharing files over an AppleTalk network, MacLinkPlus/PC
offers a local mode to provide file transfer and translation over network cabling. The product supports batch file transfers. One window displays hard disks, folders, and files on the Macintosh, while another window displays similar information on the PC.
MacLinkPlus/PC includes a special communications mode to allow your Macintosh to dial or hard-wire to systems that support ASCIITTY or XMODEM communications. You can use this mode interactively with local mode, translating files in local mode before sending them or after receiving them from a remote system. Research MacLinkPlus/PC

Advanced NetWare was a powerful LAN operating system package that let you link up to 100 PCs to a file server to share files and network resources such as printers. With Advanced NetWare installed in an 80286 or better based PC, you could achieve minicomputer-like performance while you continued to use your PC-based applications.
Advanced NetWare could be configured as either a dedicated or non-dedicated system upon installation. Taking full advantage of the power of the processor, this product used up to 12Mb of RAM and more than 2Mb of hard disk storage to support up to 100 users per server. Because it is fully compatible with IBM's NetBIOS, it worked with the many multi-user applications available for the IBM Token-Ring and PC Network. Compatible with over 80 popular network hardware adapters and topologies, the package offered the utmost in flexibility. For example, if the layout of a building required multiple cable-types, you could connect an ARCNET segment in one part of the building, an Ethernet in another, and a Token-Ring somewhere else.
If you already had a non-Novell network installed, you could switch to Advanced or SFT NetWare and take advantage of the package's sophisticated security, power, and flexibility. Advanced NetWare provided operating system support for NetWare for Macintosh, a VAP (Value Added Process), and offered transparent protocol connectivity between IPX and Apple' s AFP. Using NetWare for Macintosh and Novell NL1000 AppleTalk network interface card, you could connect any AppleTalk network or network device (such as Apple LaserWriters) to a Novell file server running NetWare version 2.15.

PageMaker was formerly a very popular, easy to use, WYSIWYG desktop publisher that allowed the design, layout, and production of typeset-quality documents on the Macintosh and PC running Windows. The product, one of the first desktop publishers for the Macintosh, provided a comprehensive set of tools for integrating text and graphics from virtually any Macintosh application into a professional-looking document. Nearly identical to PageMaker for the PC, this program offered user-defined style sheets, automatic text flow through a document, and 20 design templates. Rather than using a grid approach, PageMaker worked like a paste-up board on which to define the placement of elements on-screen after defining the number of columns the document will have.
PageMaker had a wide range of uses, from the occasional quickmemo and graphics based publication, to a complex, content-oriented document with graphics (it was used to typeset the magazine Here's Health during the early 1990s). It was ideal for an environment using both PCs and Macs because a version was available for each machine and files could be transferred between the two environments.
When PageMaker was run a blank page was seen on-screen. Text and graphics could be imported using a place command to position the material as it was to appear on the printed output. The product retained formatting from word processing files such as tabs, type styles, justification, and proportional spacing. PageMaker had a built-in text editor which could also act as a basic word processor. Changes made in PageMaker were automatically reflected in the word processing document. The program automatically flowed text throughout the document and wrapped text around graphics. Its editing features controlled text size, style, typeface, multiple columns, and automatic hyphenation. Imported graphics could be sized, scaled, and cropped on-screen. Rules and line styles helped to position graphic images and text, and allow easy creation of boxed text, headlines, and framed images. Ruler guides controlled layout and column guides assisted in the actual placement and margins of graphics and text. PageMaker allowed the creation of style sheets. Users could see and work with multiple views of a page layout or two pages at once so that a double-page spread could be designed. Research PageMaker
