Subject: [*] Active-Memory-2.03 - Personal database/organizer, to do list,

Active memory is a personal organizer used as an application with MacOs 7
or 8. It allows you to track personal, or group oriented, informations
and to organize in time your projects or day to day actions.

Active Memory has all the functions needed to define:

- the type of activities,
- their expiration date,
- the eventual list of participants,
- The alerts or events to take place at a given time, ...
(version 2.03 fixed problem with system 8)

Active Memory can import or export all your data to and from other
applications. It gives you the possibility to define macros that are
launched at a precise time. Using standard System 7/8 functionalities you can
Publish&Subscribe data, get balloon-help, or launch AppleEvents at a set
time and/or date.
Active Memory can also be used for real-time communications on a network.

it will work as a "lite" version if not registered.

http://www.objectland.org/Active/  A French version is also available

thanks

Subject: [*] C'nVOIT!

C'nVOIT! is the old Desk Accessory "Convert" with the window expanded
for yer basic vintage 1997 640x480 monitor. I just needed something for
conversion of cm and m to feet, etc. The desk accessory's interface was
certainly a flashback to a Fat Mac. Hmmm, I thought, I have ResEdit
around here someplace.

So I got carried away... there are now more bytes devoted to PICTs than
to code, but it's still tiny.

Subject: [*] Cat'sEyeView vol.4

This is the 4th volume of Cat'sEyeView. This movie was completed with
the help of many people. The original music was composed by a
professional musician. The original story was translated into English by
a professional English teacher. So the music gives life to my pictures
and you'll be relieved of the pain of reading my bad English. It's
contains a slideshow with music and an illustrated book. I made it for
children, but I assure you that adults can enjoy it too. You need 16 bit
colour and larger than a 14 inch monitor to view CatユsEyeView
vol.4. We give this movie as a Christmas and New Year present to
children all over the world. Eij Kato

CommuniGate FirstClass Gateway 1.6
Welcome to the CommuniGate FC-gateway - the gateway between the
CommuniGate System and the FirstClass(r) BBS manufactured by the
SoftArc company. The application allows FirstClass users to access
all messaging features of the CommuniGate System: LAN E-mail, Internet
E-mail with MIME support (UUCP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP), Faxing, Paging,
File and Print services, Mailing List services, etc.

The FC-gateway is a stand-alone application, not a CommuniGate
communication module.

The application can provide services to several FirstClass systems
connected with each other, while only one FirstClass system communicates
with the CommuniGate Server via the CommuniGate FC-gateway.

The CommuniGate FC-gateway application should run on the same computer
as the CommuniGate Server.

Support and Discussions
Please subscribe to the <CommuniGate@stalker.com> mailing list to discuss
the CommuniGate System related issues. To subscribe to this mailing list,
please send any message to <CommuniGate-on@stalker.com>.

If you have any problem with the CommuniGate FirstClass Gateway module,
check the Troubleshooting information first. If you cannot fix the
problem using the information provided there, send E-mail to
<support@stalker.com> with the detailed explanation of the problem.

What is New in the CommuniGate FirstClass Gateway Updates?

Does your MacTCP DNR file become corrupt too frequently?  This little
freeware applet will delete the MacTCP DNR file every time your reboot or
shutdown.  MacTCP/Open Transport will then rebuild the file the next
time your Mac restarts. Place it in your shutdown items folder. Very
handy.  Requires AppleScript.  Please note, you will not lose any TCP/IP
settings as a result of using this applet.

Subject: [*] ProMaker Utils 1.0.2 - For the FileMaker Professional

Troi Automatisering is proud to announce the release of ProMaker Utils 1.0.2.

What is ProMaker?
For those who don't know ProMaker yet: ProMaker is a FileMaker Pro
productivity shareware tool for enhancing working with ScriptMaker. If you
are a FileMaker Pro 3.0 or 4.0 user or developer and write ScriptMaker
scripts this small application can save you a lot of time. ProMaker Utils
makes it possible to paste an entire ScriptMaker script (all steps) from a
TEXT file into a FileMaker Pro script. No more clicking until your hands
hurt, just enter them in one go!

Also works with almost all international FileMaker versions.

New features
We have added the following features in this version:

- Added support for FileMaker 4.0.
- Added Import of Print2Pict text files.
- Scriptmaker detects which version of FMP is running (e.g.
US/German/etc.), and can paste accordingly.
- Added (optional) extra pasting of comment steps in which the names of
scripts/layouts/fields is given.

How does it work?
- Open FileMaker Pro and the script you want to paste the steps in.
- Use ProMaker Utils to open a TEXT file with the script-steps in it (some
sample text files are included).
- Enter the complete script by pressing command-E.

System Requirements Macintosh with 68030 or better or Power Macintosh.
System 7.1 or later (also tested on the upcoming 8.0 release). ProMaker
Utils requires 750 Kb of RAM. ProMaker Utils doesn't use a patch or an
extension so no potential conflicts there. Of course you need a copy of
FileMaker Pro, this should be version 3.0v4, or an International
version.

Script Executor is a compiler plugin that executes an AppleScript (or
other OSA script) and passes an alias to the file to be compiled to the
script. This version works properly with the 2.0.x IDE.

This plugin is primarily of use to integrate external compilers with
CodeWarrior.

Script Post Linker is a post-linker plugin that executes a script. This
plugin is useful if you need to postprocess target files, move or
install them somewhere.

Subject: [*] Software & Hardware Tracker II v2.0.1a

Software & Hardware Tracker II v2.0.1a (October 25th, 1997)
by David-Artur Daix
<mailto:daix@kagi.com>
<http://persoweb.francenet.fr/‾daix/index.html>

Software & Hardware Tracker II is a FileMaker Pro 3.0 (or later)
relational database which will help you collect, store and organize
useful information (such as registration codes, serial numbers, product
notes, useful adresses as well as phone/fax numbers and URLs for software
authors, companies and distributors, etc.) about all your computer
products (hardware, software and freeware/shareware). Even better, you
can launch URLs directly from inside the database, which will then call
upon the Internet Config system to open them with the proper helper
applications. That means Software & Hardware Tracker II can also be used
as a powerful FMPro based Internet bookmark manager.

Software & Hardware Tracker is a CNET/Download.com and a BizProWeb "pick
of the day".

It's being distributed as shareware and costs $15 (as always, upgrades
are free for registered users of previous version). Registrations are
handled by Kagi Shareware.

New in 2.0.1a: the original Netscape bookmarks included in the package
were corrupted; they're now fixed. If you've already downloaded v. 2.0.1,
you don't need to download this version. Just use the Register
application or the online registration links provided on my web page to
register.

Thanks for supporting shareware!

(Software & Hardware Tracker II 2.0.1 may be included on the Info-Mac
CD-ROM and on the AMUG "BBS in a box".

Subject: [*] Spanish Lesson 1 - foreign language learning

The document called 'Spanish Lesson 1' contains a few interactive computer
lessons of Spanish. To use it you need to have the 'Language Toolkit
Reader' program version 1.3 or higher which is available from Info-Mac
mirror sites. See for instance:
ftp://mirrors.aol.com//pub/info-mac/edu/lang/.

The file demonstrates the use of the 'Language Toolkit Writer' authoring
program (which is also available from Info-Mac mirror sites). The lessons
are written for native speakers of English but you can extremely easily
adapt this material for native speakers of other languages (French,
Italian, German, Japanese etc.). You can also modify and extend this set of
lessons. Use 'Language Toolkit Writer' to make all the changes you need.

Subject: [*] Verbs & Nouns 1.7.2 - foreign language learning

Here is the new version of the 'Verbs and Nouns' application - 1.7.2

'Verbs & Nouns' is an application for practising inflection, translation
and pronunciation at the level of single words. Features include the
opportunity to do inflection exercises, and translation exercises in
both directions; to record and play sound for single words; and to do
exercises based on sound. The program keeps a record of exercises, and
identifies the words that the student has difficulty with. Along with
the program, you need a module for the target language concerned. The
program can also be used as an authoring tool to write your own modules
of inflected words for any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator'
simplifies the addition of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the
modules to be used as bilingual dictionaries.

Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages. You can
visit my home-page to get more information:

Subject: Ans: Netware admin and Macs

Thanks to all who responded. Here is a summary of comments.

>1 Is there a Mac admin program for Netware? Our network administrator says
>no-but they don't >understand Mac's.

No, there is no NWAdmin for the Mac. One respondent noted that the NW
Client Installer for the Mac -can- install a Macintosh version of RCONSOLE.
It is as useful as the PC version of RCONSOLE. Remote Console, which allows
you to view the file server console, runs on Macs. It does not install from
NW Client Installer with the Easy Install option, but is there if one
chooses a Custom install.

The same person also noted (from people he knows who have gone to Novell's
BrainShare conference) that Novell is recoding lots of stuff (including
NWAdmin) in Java.  If that's true, then it won't matter that you have a
Mac. See http://yes.novell.com/java/documentation/4620809.htm for details.

>2 Would Virtual PC running Win95 allow me to do this one job from my Mac.

Consensus is that this or one of the DOS cards is a perfectly workable
solution, but speed may be an issue.

It is my understanding that due to a lack of standards for audio CDRoms
that there are no applications that automatically enter the info specific
to the CD when you insert one.

I have heard of an available database that could possibly be transferred in
the form of a preference file, either for a specific app, or via the CD
Remote Program in the preference folder.

If anyone can enlighten me on this it would be much appreciated.

Well, this is strange.  The Energy Saver control panel has quit shutting
down my monitor all of a sudden for no particular reason.  I just noticed
that it stays on all the time.  The only things that have changed since it
was working before is that I have installed an Apple 233MHz processor card
in place of the 132MHz one and I upgraded Apple Remote Access to version 3.
This is in a 7600 with a 1705 monitor running OS8 and nothing else special
in particular.  Anybody have any ideas on this?  I've thrown out the prefs
file and even did a PRAM blast just for the heck of it.

Subject: Freeze on Rebuild

I installed OS 8 from CD to a Jaz drive.  I left 7.5.5 in tack on my
original internal HD
I attempted to  start up with the internal - as it was progressing it went
into a rebuild of the desktop for no reason and then froze.  I restarted
and cancelled the rebuild - evrything O.K. I did notice that MacLink Plus
control panel was now "x" out.

I ran Norton's and found a small problem with the Catalog tree which it
fixed.  Restarted no problems.  Ran Norton again.  Everthing O.K.

I figured I would rebuild to reesatblish MacLink Control panel - It froze
again on Rebuild.  Restarted.  Norton again says o.k. but I still freeze if
I rebuild.

Odd this would have just happened when I attempted to install OS8 on
anothjer external and that MacLink CP would corrupt.

How do I get around a freeze on rebuild

These settings are stored in the Finder Preferences file. You should move
the file to the trash and the Finder will build a new preferences file the
next restart (you can't immediately delete the file).

Based on the question in Digest v15#233 from "Denis M. Pelletier"
<DENIS@CUSLM.CA> about  (Q) Mac OS 8 and Pegasus Mail 2.21, it might be of
interest to other readers to post the following. I already sent a copy to
Denis.

###########

The following informative message recently appeared on the listserver
"owner-evangelist-digest@public.lists.apple.com (EvangeList Digest)".

Based several questions that have appeared on these UseNet groups, I asked
the author, MATT CHANDRONAIT, to post his information here also.  As he
doesn't have access to these groups, asked me to post it for him.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Subject: Followup - Novell and MacOS8

This follow-up message is from:

MATT CHANDRONAIT, <MCHANDRO@engagegames.com>

Thanks one and all for the huge stack of messages regarding this issue. I
had asked for help from the Evangelistas regarding issues that may have
surfaced during the installation of MacOS8 in a Novell(ed) environment.
And, surprise surprise, 99% of the messages report a flawless and in most
cases improved performance.

Here is a list of the reported problems: --- One problem that arose was
with the use of the Novell Netware client for the Mac. On some systems it
was reported as being unable to recognize the Novell network after
installing OS8 (This has to do with MacOS 8 and Netware authentication
through the Chooser and compatibility with Open Transport). However,
Novell has released an update to the Mac Netware Client - Update to v5.11
- - available for download here:

<http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.html#client>

which fixes this problem. Also, the use of the 5.11 client fixes a rather
large security hole that has to do with bidery services.

- --- Some reported that OS 8 would crash/slow down/give limited use to MS
mail for PC networks.

- --- One IT Director reported that he had a lot of problems with Novell
IPX drivers with Open Transport 1.2 and Token Ring cards

- --- One direct incompatibility is that the Pegasus Mail Mac client cannot
see the Novell directories under MacOS 8. So if you are trying to use the
Novell server as a Pegasus Mail server from the Mac you might have some
problems. I saw no mention of and therefore do not know if the Novell Mac
Client update (5.11 - see above) fixes this problem or not.

As far as directly affecting the Novell Network: The change from Classic
Networking to Open Transport was only internal to the MacOS architecture,
making it easier for applications to communicate with the network
resources on the Mac. This is all _internal_ to the Mac. MacOS 8 is only
an improvement on this architecture. All of this being internal means
that not only will MacOS 8 not affect your Novell network in any way, but
that it CAN'T. Also, it can't affect any of the other systems on your
network - be they UNIX, NT, VAX, or if you are running IPX/SPX,
Appletalk, SNA, Netbeui, DECnet, LAT & TCP/IP all on the same network.

How about some of the other positive statements?

- - OS 8 has less "chatty" Appletalk thereby making your company's network
faster as a whole if they do not use the Mac Netware client with MacIPX.

- - OS 8 works perfectly fine with Novell 3.11 and up!

- - OS 8 "... works BETTER with Novell servers than 7.5 or 7.6"

- - People from MIT, the Navy, Sierra On-Line, the Australian Government,
Novell, Apple, Arco, various college and university IS heads, professors
of computer science and information, Westinghouse, and from various other
companies and organizations from all over the world claim to have
increased performance and satisfaction when dealing with OS 8 and their
Novell environments. I even heard from military personnel somewhere in
the former Yugoslavia.

- - From an Apple Engineer:

"I have several very large customer companies who have Mac and PC clients
with Novell servers. To name a few, Hughes Aircraft, TRW, JPL, Boeing,
and Northrop.

"They are all installing MacOS 8 without any problems interfacing with
Novell servers being used for file serving, print serving, or application
metering.

"There is no technical justification for not upgrading Mac clients to
MacOS 8."

What more justification does one need than that?

I hope this helps some of you out there that are in the same predicament
I was in - being in a primarily PC environment and trying to convince
uneducated network admins to let you install OS 8. Some people just told
me to install it behind their backs since they most likely could never
tell the difference ;)

As a side note, I printed out all of the messages I was sent (some
150-170 of them) and went through them ALL searching for the ones that
mentioned problems and incompatibilities. When I was done, I had a stack
of **6** that mentioned problems, and a HUGE stack that conveyed the
virtues and values of OS 8 in a Novell/Mixed-platform environment. It was
very satisfying to drop the two stacks on our Network Operations
Manager's desk... one with a light *flip!* and the other with a huge
*THUD!*

Thanks a thousand times over to all of you out there for the fabulous
assistance! Keep the Faith!
