Subject: [*] Cache Killer Pro 1.0 - the original Cache Killer and more!!!
Cache Killer Pro is an AppleScript script which deletes the web browser
caches for Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, Cyberdog, America
Online, Internet Explorer, or any other browser you use! Not only will
Cache Killer Pro automatically detect and manage browser caches located in
their default locations, but it can be configured to manage any folder on
any volume! Cache Killer Pro can be setup to delete the disk caches
periodically or every time it is run.
Cache Killer Pro retains everything that made the original Cache Killer so
popular and incorporates powerful new features to make your browser cache
management easier than ever before!
- automatically detect the individual cache folders created by Netscape
Communicator
- delete up to ten additional browser cache folders in any location on any
volume
- manage any folder you choose, not just browser cache folders
- support for localized versions of the MacOS
- improved user-interface to guide you through the setup process
Cache Killer requires AppleScript, which is included with System 7.5 or later.
Cache Killer Pro was created by Scott Harralson. Further information on
Cache Killer Pro can be found at http://web2.airmail.net/sdh/killerpro.

Subject: [*] eScan 1.02
eScan is a Macintosh utility that provides facilities for the scanning
of email messages, and the recognition, extraction and processing of
embedded electronic form data. This is achieved by the provision of a
software interface between the database product FileMaker Pro and the
email program Eudora. The package has been especially oriented for use
with web forms.
eScan will either scan email messages on command or when informed of the
arrival of new mail by Eudora. Any Eudora mailbox may be specified and a
choice made whether to scan read or unread mail. For each email message
that eScan reads, it determines if it contains embedded form data. If it
does, then information about the message is extracted, either from the
body of the email message or from an attached document, and a list of
'found' messages constructed. These listed messages may then be
displayed, printed, transferred or processed.
The processing of a form firstly involves the extraction of the data
contained in the form, (if the data is in 'mailto' format ie. url
encoded, then it is firstly decoded). If a FileMaker Pro database has
been specified for the form, then the extracted data may be written to
that file or used to extract data from an existing database record. If a
template email reply has been defined, then the template is merged with
aspects of the extracted data to generate a customised reply. Reply
messages may also, optionally contain outgoing attachments.
Requirements
The following environment is required by eScan -
a) System version 7.5 or later.
b) The scriptable Finder (as supplied with System 7.5 onwards).
Helper Applications
eScan uses the following products -
a) Eudora Light, version 1.5.1 onwards.
b) Eudora Pro, all versions.
c) FileMaker Pro, version 2.1 onwards.

I Ching Connexion 2.3.2 patch
This package updates the I Ching Connexion 2.3 or 2.3.1 program to
version 2.3.2. It doesn't work with versions prior to 2.3.
The I Ching Connexion is an ever-changing but always consistently
interlocking graphic representation of the way the 64 hexagrams
interrelate. As such it is the key to widen and deepen the
interpretation of the outcome of a divination.
Changes since v2.3.1:

Subject: [*] I Ching Connexion 2.3.2; I Ching with a new view
I Ching Connexion 2.3.2
The I Ching Connexion is an ever-changing but always consistently
interlocking
graphic representation of the way the 64 hexagrams interrelate.
As such it is the key to widen and deepen the interpretation of the
outcome of
a divination.
It features the translation James Legge made (published in 1882, England)
of
the Imperial Edition of the I (published in 1715, China). This alone
makes the
program useful for anyone interested in the I Ching.
Besides that it adds two radical new views to the ancient Book of
Changes:
the Connexion and the Mediator.
It also features an I Ching clock, a presentation of the link between the
I Ching and astrology. And it allows you to calculate your natal hexagram.
The I Ching Connexion requires a Macintosh with System 7.0 or later,
32-bit Color Quickdraw and at least 256 colors or grays.
It's optimised for both PowerPC and 680x0 Macs (FAT application).
This software is distributed as shareware (save/print disabled).
Please read 'I Ching Connexion Read Me' for a bit more introductory info,
and 'How to Register' for instructions on how to register.
Changes since v2.3.1:
- Payment made easy; Kagi enters the picture.
Enjoy the program,

Subject: [*] MacDoc-1.0
MacDoc is a powerful tool for creating standard or stand-alone documents
(also called: self-reading, portable or autonomous documents) from
existing
documents and with almost any application. A stand-alone MacDocument can
be read and printed without the original application created from.
Therefore, MacDoc is ideal for creating and distributing any kind of
electronic documentation, for archiving, for making a snapshot from a
web page or just for creating a print preview.
Features MacDoc Writer:
- creating a MacDocument is as easy as printing
- MacDocuments can be created from your favoured application
- a MacDocument can be created from your existing files
- a MacDocument look like the original
- stand-alone MacDocuments can be read and printed without any other
software
- optionally protect your MacDocument by a password (index, copy, incl.
files)
- creates MacDocument up to 600 dots per inch
- optionally include files e.g. fonts or the original document for
archiving
Features MacDoc Viewer:
- fast and easy to use
- copy and drag & drop of text with styles or pictures
- creating a hierarchical index with styles is very easy
- printable index
- information about the fonts used in the document (Font Info)
- bookmarks let you mark places in a document with your own labels
- Find text functionality
The Standard MacDocument
A standard MacDocument look like your original document, but has
some addional benefits:
- it can be read and printed with the (license free) MacDoc Viewer.
- The original application is not required.
- a MacDocument contains optional features like an index, bookmarks and
more.
The Stand Alone MacDocument
The difference between a standard MacDocument and a stand-alone,
self-running MacDocument is the embedded MacDoc Viewer. It's an "All In
One"
package, no other software is necessary to view and print your document.
System Requirements
- Any Apple Macintosh or compatible
(except Macintosh 128K, 512K and Macintosh Plus)

Subject: [*] NetFinder 1.1.3J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the NetFinder package.
NetFinder is an easy-to-use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client program for
Macintosh, PowerMacintosh, Macintosh PowerBook and MacOS-compatible
computers. NetFinder combines the ease of use of the Macintosh interface
with a powerful FTP engine. The result is a unique program that makes it a
breeze to get and store files on internet FTP sites. If you can use a Mac,
you can use this program! Here are some of the features of NetFinder:
*very easy to use Finder-like interface, including full Drag and Drop
support.
*download, upload, delete, rename and move files and folders as easily as
you would in the Finder.
*supports moving files to your Mac's disk and moving files around on a FTP
site - very handy for Webmasters and Webmistresses!
*fully threaded operation for directory listings and file/folder transfers.
The benefits of this approach are that you wait less and can do more at the
same time - a valuable time-saving feature!
*on-the-fly encoding and decoding of Binhex and MacBinary files - the most
popular file formats for storing Mac files on internet FTP sites. Since
files are decoded on-the-fly, you don't require as much hard disk space. For
example, an 8Mb binhex-encoded file will only require 6Mb of hard disk
space. Cool, eh? :-)
*the ability to save and open bookmarks of your favourite FTP sites. Create
bookmarks simply by dragging and dropping files or folder. Double click
bookmarks to quickly connect to your favourite sites.
*directory listings are cached so you can navigate quickly through often
visited sites. And if the listing is stale, you can easily get a fresh
listing.
*can work with Internet Explorer and any Netscape web browser
*Internet Config savvy (NetFinder can function without IC but it works much
better if IC is installed)
*supports a wide variety of FTP servers. Works with all popular FTP server
software like wu-ftp, NetPresenz and Windows NT FTP server.
*customisable with a set of useful preferences
*and last but not least, you can continue downloading a file that has been
partially downloaded instead of having to download the entire file again.
This works even if you quit NetFinder or your Mac crashes and you have to
restart! We call this "Partial File support". It's very cool. ;-)

Subject: [*] Seeker 1.0.1, a shareware web search helper
Seeker takes advantage of Netscape Navigator's protocol registering
technique to greatly simplify the task of searching the web.
New to version 1.0.1:
* The required scripting addition, Encode URL is included, by permission
of Chuck Shotten,
* Newly supported protocols are acronym, aolnetfind and netfind,
download.com, inquiry.com, loc for the Library of Congress, mrp (and
macresource) for the Macintosh Resource Page, musicsearch, news.com,
roget, ultimatetv, and wwwomen,
* Support for a new preferences format for a future version of Seeker.
Here's a description of Seeker, from the Seeker 1.0 Documentation:
In short, Seeker is a $15 shareware web search utility that effectively
cuts your web search time in half.
Here's a practical example. To search Yahoo's web directory for sites
containing information on knitting patterns, you would normally go to
Yahoo's search page at http://www.yahoo.com/. After waiting for the page
to load you would enter "knitting patterns" and type Return or click the
Search button.
Seeker eliminates the first step entirely. When Seeker is running, simply
enter "yahoo:knitting patterns" into the Navigator Location bar (also
known as the "Go To box" or "Netsite box") and Netscape Navigator is
magically transported directly to Yahoo's search results page at
http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=knitting%20patterns.
Seeker 1.0.1 supports all the major commercial search engines and
literally dozens of other web directories and site-specific search
engines (Seeker supports 118 protocols in this version alone). For the
complete list, I invite you visit the Supported Protocols page at
http://antioch-college.edu/~stefan/protocols.html.
The Seeker home page is at
http://antioch-college.edu/~stefan/seeker.html. Enjoy!
Permission will be gladly given upon request to redistribute Seeker with
books or magazines or on CD-ROMs. When possible, I would very much
appreciate a complimentary copy of or a discount toward the CD-ROM, book,
or magazine. Of course, Seeker must be distributed with all the
accompanying documentation.
Redistributing Seeker without my permission is just plain not nice (and
illegal, too). I can be reached at any time at

Subject: [*] TaskMaster for PowerMac 1.0
TaskMaster for the PowerMac has now arrived. AMUG describes it best in
the following paragraph:
TaskMaster 1.0 - is an incredible utility designed for the beginner Mac
user as well as an experienced users alike. Anything you can launch from
the finder, TaskMaster can do it automatically, any time, as many times,
and as often as you wish. What are the benefits of this? No programming
experience required at all. TaskMaster interface is all point and click
in the traditional Macintosh style. This is easier than setting your VCR.
Best of all TaskMaster is ready to use with Mac OS8.

Many on different discussion lists have noticed that Barnes and Noble
stores (often with Starbucks Coffee) have changed the way computer books
are displayed. Gone forever is the noticeable Macintosh section, while
Windows and Windows NT, etc., remain. Our local district manager was
responsive to an inquiry and suggested writing the corporate
headquarters. That address is
Barnes and Noble
120 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York 10011
The reason given was that computer books now are integrated according to
topic, like Java, etc. But of course the Windows variety remains as
separate topics.

I have an ol' MacPlus upstairs; System 6.0.6, 2Mb RAM, 2400 baud modem,
Eudora 1.3.1, MacTCP 2.0.6, MacPPP 2.0.1 -- Works great, tho a tad slow.
As far as ISPs are concerned, your mileage may vary between $0.00 to
$20.00+ per month, depending on your area. (Does anyone know if you can
still get a FREE Juno or Hotmail account in exchange for infinite SPAM?)

If you need to freely switch between MSIE and Netscape, Launch
Netscape, select Open File... (MSIE's) Favorites.html, select Add
Bookmark. Reverse the process to add Netscape's bookmarks to MSIE's
Favorites.
In case that was not crystal clear, what I'm suggesting is adding
Favorites to your Bookmark file (and vice versa) instead of actually
converting either one.
I use this same sort of technique to access my MSIE Favorites and
History files from MacLynx. Works like a champ.
[If you really must CONVERT, since both files are plain text HTML,
perhaps changing the Creator code would help Netscape see MSIE's stuff.]

A few weeks ago I asked about experience with the Epson 800 and agreed to
summarize responses:
With the exception of one writer who could not get his 800 to print at all,
each response was positive. Everybody was happy with the print quality and
those able to compare found the 800 superior to the Stylus Pro. Several
replies also mentioned that the 800 driver was faster and less prone to
crashes than the Stylus Pro driver. One writer suggested that the new Alps
printer might have better output.
Thanks to everybody responding. I hope this summary proves helpful to others.

Hi,
My experience with AOL mail is that it has problems. I've been told these
problems are the result of ongoing software changes & lack of standard
something-or-other. OK, now that I've revealed how much I don't know, two
suggestions . . .
If you'd like to invest in some more software, try Emailer for your AOL
email. A demo is available at <http//www.claris.com>.
My second suggestion works when I get an "unknown mime" document as an
attachment. I just drag it onto the Tex-Edit Plus alias on my desktop
&--voila! I find this works on other docs that sometimes arrive in other
weird formats also--even when MacLink Plus can't find a program to open
the doc.
HTH,
Toby...

Yes, of course it's possible to choose between the palette and the
menu. My (unexplained) point was that it's a waste of screen real
state to have the palette showing. One might argue that having the
palette is convenient for people with large monitors, but: (1) you
have to move the cursor anyway, be it to the palette or to the menu
bar, and (2) how many people out there have large monitors
(relatively speaking)? Is docking the palette a solution? I don't
think so. Again, the dock occupies space in the window that could be
used for something more productive. I'd rather have some key combo
that allowed me to have the dock appear under the pointer at will.
I don't want to sound as if the palette is such a big deal for me.
It's not! My only problem with Comm 4, and it's a big one, is that
you don't have the choice to install only the parts you want.

As I said previously, my experience is that Comm 4 is very stable.
I'm running Comm 4, Eudora Pro 3.1, and often other applications, all
at once, on a Powerbook 5300 running 7.5.5 with several extensions
and control panels. I rarely have a glitch. In fact, if anything
crashes, it's usually Eudora.

Subject: Problems loggin in to chat sites
Glenn Zieman of http://www.nowonder.com fame wrote to me this morning with
a brilliant suggestion for solving my problem logging on to chat sites. I
had written several places asking for help because when I would go to a
chat site and log in, I was consistently being returned to the log in page.
Yesterday I wrote to report that I had succeeded in completing a login by
using a "System 7.5.5 Only" extension set, but I hadn't determined which
third-party extension had been the source of the problem. I still couldn't
get in with my regular extension set.
Glenn suggested that I might be using a utility to limit advertising at web
sites, such as WebFree. Well, he was right, so I turned off Web Free but
otherwise was using even more extensions than usual. I went to Third Age
and logged in without a hitch. The only change was turning off WebFree.
This is something to be aware of. Glenn said he thought of it when he was
reading an article on news-gathering programs so this tip might have wider
application than just my problem with chat sites. Maybe it will be useful
to someone.
