Log Watcher shows the logs generated by your server displaying them continuously and updating them on the last version saved without manual action. In this way you can have always on screen the last info. Without Log Watcher, using a common text processor, you should re-open the file every time the server appends new info. Furthermore Log Watcher can read and show only the last desired portion of logs, doing a very fast work. It can automatically scroll the window to the bottom and can use desired font/size to show logs. Logs are always opened as read-only without interfering with server read-write operations. Log Watcher uses Apple Guide Technology to provide help to users. This version 1.1.4 was stress tested to eliminate bugs. Available both for 68K Mac and Power Mac. Inclusion in CD allowed.

By popular demand, I've eliminated the RegisterBot that pops up to annoy you into registering (partially because there was a small bug in the RegisterBot). Now it's pretty much on the honor system. Enjoy! Attached is NetBots 2.0, a shareware Internet agent program for Mac OS. In 1996, NetBots gave system administrators and end users a powerful way to accomplish tasks on the Internet without human intervention. NetBots 2.0 builds on the capabilities of the previous version with the following new features: - enhancements to the standard PortBot, PingBot, and FingerBot - an all new WWWBot that will check for web page updates - support for the /robots.txt web crawling security standard - concurrent execution of bots through the Thread Manager - AppleScript support so bots can talk to other applications - a new "Bot Manager" acts as a visual representation of the bot queue - more options for controlling the behavior of bots - totally redesigned interface and friendlier documentation - 50% more bevels! NetBots 2.0 is a useful tool for web surfers, system administrators, and anyone who uses the Internet on a daily basis. It can help you monitor remote hosts, alert you when a friend logs in, send you email when a site becomes available, reload a page when it changes, and much more. NetBots is available for download immediately from the KlepHacks web site at: . NetBots 2.0 was written by Scott J. Kleper, a sophomore at Stanford University. The program is shareware. After a brief evaluation period, the user is asked to pay a fee of $15 using the included "Register" application.

Home Page : http://www.digitalprairie.com/ Shareware Fee: US$20 Requires : W*API 1.1-compatible MacOS web server This update to SmartMap fixes a bug which prevented access to SmartMap's admin URL when "virtual domain" plug-ins such as Jon Stevens' ClearlyHome are also being used. Description : Yet another imagemap plug-in for WebSTAR, but it has features available nowhere else. Automatic recognition of both NCSA and CERN map file formats, support for rectangles, polygons, circles, ovals, points, and default hotspots, and it returns local target files without HTTP redirection.

[remainder snipped] Claris Emailer 2.0 will decode QP text very easily through the use of an AppleScript available at the FogCity Software site . I use it several times a day. Among Text Editors, Tex-Edit Plus 2.0.x also uses AppleScripts for a variety of functions. I modified the Decode QP Text script from Emailer to work with TE+. I also saw a previous post regarding a TE+ script available at , but I haven't downloaded it yet.

I'm looking for any sort of MacOS-based program that I can use for a telnet server, sort of like logging into a Unix box but with the warm feeling of knowing there's a mac there somewhere. Script Daemon won't cut it. I have looked into MkLinux, and cannot use it for the sole reason that it will not run on an upgrade card. Otherwise, I'd use that and be happy :o) TIA..
