Sav-O-Matic works by installing a time manager task which periodically
posts a Command-S keydown event. Since the command S key combination
is normally the equivalent used for the Save menu item, most
applications treat the event as a save command. Clean, neat,
transparent, and sometimes not enough. A few applications, notably
MacPaint, read the keyboard directly, and thus are not fooled by this
ruse. There is no workaround for this sort of behaviour. Other
applications simply don't use the command S combination, or use it for
something else. A few minutes work with ResEdit can solve this sort of
problem.

Sav-O-Matic has been tested, and found to be compatible with, among
many others: Adobe Photoshop, Aldus FreeHand, Canvas, CricketGraph,
Excel, MacDraw, MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works, PageMaker, TeachText,
ThinkC, Wingz, and WriteNow.

For various reasons, Edit, MacPaint, and UltraPaint do not respond to
it.

Sav-O-Matic is known to work on the Mac Plus,SE/30, and IIci. It
probably works on everything but the original Mac.
