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.

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).

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.

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. ;-) [Archived as /info-mac/comm/inet/netfinder-113-jp.hqx; 1318K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jul 1997 17:18:47 -0700 From: april@macb033.rrzn.uni-hannover.de Subject: [*] Netscape 4.0 Baltic, Cyrillic, Romanian Support This patch is intended for use with Netscape Communicator 4.0.

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.

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. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 00:27:18 -0700 From: Chris Schram Subject: Classic on the internet On Fri, 11 Jul 1997, "Andrew R.

The monthly ISP fee must be $10 or less a month. 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.

Can anyone recommend a >solution? Anyone? 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.] Chris Schram -- schram@mail.coos.or.us -- http://www.coos.or.us/~schram ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jul 1997 21:08:17 -0500 From: "Andrew R.

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. Glaston -Mind how you go. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 18:25:59 -0500 From: "Paul M.

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 . 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.

(Unless I >don't > understand what you are objecting to?) 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. > Also, just to keep the dialog multi-sided, I am, to my intense >amazement, > finding Communicator at least as fast, if not a touch faster, as >3.0.1 was. > I have used it maybe 25 hours now and my husband considerably >longer and > neither of us has experienced a single crash or freeze.

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. Wagner Truppel Dept of Physics and Astronomy U.

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.
