    She is still alive and well in the top LH corner of my screen. She
    greeted me with "Moof" this morning.

    A quick search found this site. Is it the genuione sound as it's been so
    long since I last heard it?

    I first came across Clarus with my first Mac running Mac OS 7.5.3. No doubt many ucsm subscribers can go back even further. Happy days :)

    I'd like to find the Church Lady sound (where she says - "Now, isn't that just extra special!")

    I met her at System 4, I think it was - 1985. Much missed, along with a lot of other things - Easter Eggs, for instance

    i had no idea she was back! Thank you for bringing the article to my
    attention. A lot of applications no longer feature Page Setup - it gets merged with Print - but I finally ran her to earth in TextEdit.

    But where to find the .svg copy? Presumably it it somewhere on my drive, but I do not have the skills to locate it there - or anywhere else, for that matter.

    Any ideas?

    Old John.

    I can't find clarus.svg on my Sonoma system using f.a.f. so it's
    probably there but under some obfusc name! I did find this on github and downloaded the zip file which expands to a folder holding a file called clarus.svg. It's not the original though but looks nice when opened with GraphicConvertor !

    Thank you.That opens perfectly in Inkscape. One for the files, for future use!
