But now with the plethora of control strips modules for helping one monitor one's internet connection it begs the question, what is the oldest operating system that will support the Control Strip Control Panel? Being that I am creating a program for my internet provider to help Mac users online, I was thinking of incorporating a version of the Control Strip Control Panel on the installer for those Macs that don't have it. Which version have you found to work, and on which Macs, with which MacOS version? Thank you. Sincerely, abrody@smart.net ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 12:52:54 -0400 From: a brody Subject: (Q) GoLive has a bug Dear Digest readers, I thought I posted this before, but here it is again. 1. I try to make a change to text in Layout mode of Adobe GoLive 4.0, and then save the file, close the file, and reopen the file, I end up with a blank page and no HTML. 2. I try to make a change to text in source mode of Adobe GoLive 4.0, and then save the file, close the file, and reopen the file, the file is preserved. It is obvious from this I can't make any editorial changes in Layout mode. But that is precisely the mode I want to use for editorial changes. I don't want to have to see the source mode unless it is HTML that can't be coded with GoLive. In case anyone wants to try this out, visit my http://www.smart.net/~abrody/news.html page. I've even tried pasting the source directly into GoLive's source mode, and the same thing happens. Is there any way to prevent GoLive from having trouble with these tables without dropping the tables? Contacting Adobe is not an option, as they don't offer tollfree tech support, and their support@adobe.com people never answer their e-mails. I have no idea where to find the information on Adobe's home page http://www.adobe.com. And I am not about to read a FAQ to find it. Somebody with prior experience with Adobe GoLive 4.0 please tell me how I can edit in Layout mode, because editing in source mode is so cumbersome I might as well use BBEdit. Thank you.

It can be used to launch favorite and commonly used programs. It provides shortcuts to frequently used applications, such as word processors, image editing and compression software. But first of all it makes the Mac-desktop more fun! Apple has been including the Launcher-control panel for some years. It used to be called 'Starter' under system 7.5. Now 3D Launcher brings that same functionality with a much better looking interface. Designed by a professional graphic artist, 3D Launcher icons spin, move and shake to liven up your desktop. 3D Launcher needs at least a 120 mhz Macintosh Power PC with Quicktime 2.1 or higher. System 7.5 or higher is the minimum to run this program. 3D Launcher costs only $15 for private use. A corporate license (unlimited users) is $100. With a serial number, which can be ordered online and is provided within seconds after payment, 3D Launcher becomes fully-functional.

Abstract: A Farewell to Kings is a completely new concept in solitaire. The focus of the game is much more on logic and strategy than on luck-of-the-draw. System Requirements: This game has been tested on several machines, ranging from a PowerBook 520 running System 7.1.1 through a beige G3 running System 8.6. I expect it would run on System 7.0.0.

Features include flexible and easy-to-use key remapping, macro script recording, integrated edit windows, modeless dialogs, and ZMODEM and TFTP file transfer; modem and other serial connections can be used with the ASCII terminal emulators to access BBS. dataComet runs under all Macintosh system software from System 6.0.7 through MacOS 8.6, supporting modern MacOS features while maintaining backward compatibility. dataComet includes thorough on-line documentation; descriptions of menu functions and configuration dialog options can be easily accessed with a simple Control-click on the item, using the standard Macintosh Contextual Menus on recent releases of MacOS. dataComet's terminal windows offer fast, high quality emulations with searchable scrollback buffers. A full set of fonts is included; dataComet's emulators also automatically display variable-width fonts as mono-spaced fonts. Sessions can be logged automatically. Session configurations are saved as documents which can be launched directly from the Finder, through the Open dialog, or from the dataComet Sessions menu. Modeless dialogs simplify configuration of session options and macro mappings. The AppleScript interface allows AppleScripts and other applications to open dataComet sessions, execute dataComet macros, and monitor session status. "Command-click" opens URLs in dataComet windows using Internet Config. Files downloaded using ZMODEM can be launched automatically using Internet Config's File Mappings. dataComet sessions can be opened automatically through Telnet URL links in Netscape and Explorer browser pages. dataComet's edit windows send text or commands to a host when the Enter key is pressed (Command-Return breaks a line and sends it to a host, easing use of host-based Chat programs). Keyed commands can be used to search, move the cursor, and reformat text in edit windows by adding or removing line breaks and leading blanks or tabs. Macro commands can be invoked through mouse clicks, configurable on-screen buttons, menu items, and key-remapping, and also on host open and close to perform scripted logins and logoffs automatically. Macros can be recorded as you interact with the host to ease creation of reliable macros. dataComet also supports secure configurations for computers used as public-access terminals; the launch macro can disable commands which are inappropriate for your particular application.

Keywords for placement in Infomac archives: security, encryption, password, privacy. Will work on any Mac. Requires at least OS 7.6 . The attached file is a full version of SecurePass. It is shareware ( $15.). Highwinds Trading Company (http://www.highwinds.com) is pleased to introduce SecurePass(tm), a desktop archiving utility for encrypted passwords and other security keys. SecurePass is shareware ($15. US). It is available via FTP at ftp://ftp.highwinds.com, and as an email attachment via autoresponder at mailto://1001-SecurePass.sit@ar.highwinds.com The purpose of SecurePass is: a. To give the networked professional maximum password and passkey protection (with strong encryption), in a flexible and simple environment where he memorizes just one password for access to all of his other passwords and encrypted keys. b. To allow the user to store these secure keys on the local disk rather than remove them to a "more secure" place (which is rarely as secure as one might imagine); also to allow multiple users to store SecureKeys on a shared computer without compromising their individual privacy. c. To provide incentives for the user to use longer and more complex passwords and security keys (inherently more secure). A random string generator is included, as well as a tool that transfers a stored password directly from SecurePass to the entry field where it is required. d. To remove the disincentives for the user to change his passwords regularly. Simplistic and unchanging passwords is perhaps the greatest security risk to today's networks. SecurePass allows the user to change them more often without the risk of forgetting them or having them become disorganized. Notes about the Cryptography The algorithms used by SecurePass are "SHA-1" for hashing and "Blowfish" for encryption. Both are very secure and well-known in the field of cryptography.

I currently use a GlobalVillage 33.6 Internet Edition modem. For the most part, I've been very pleased with the modem and especially the software. Does GV offer an option for me? Is there a better hardware and/or software solution for my needs? TIA for all suggestions and replies. Rob See why we abandoned Los Angeles for rural Virginia!

Dear Digest readers, With all the buzz about interfaces going about with Kaleidoscope, and other means of changing the interface, I am surprised that I have not yet found shareware that allows a Mac to play Windows screen savers. With places like http://www.screensavers.com popping up all over the web, it would be great not to have to run in emulation to play these screen savers. Also I have noticed there are really good animated cursors on NT and 98. If you are aware of a shareware that allows one to play these screen savers and cursors on the Mac end, please e-mail me and the digest. It shouldn't be too difficult now that Stuffit Expander actually expands PkZip self excutible archives (.exe files), and ZipIt reads PkZip files for Mac users to download these files and use them if a program is made to use them.
