You perform a search of the literature in PubMed or NLM gateway on the Internet and save the search results as a text file. PubMedMaker converts this text file into a FileMaker Pro database simply by dragging & dropping. By using FileMaker Pro's function, you can search, select, sort, and print literature references. Literature list can be formated and exported with simple text, rich text (Reference list for your paper) or HTML (Reference Web Publishing) to conform to the style you desired. PubMedMaker has an automatic management function of PDF files. What's new in this version--PubMedMaker 2.0 (Jun 10, 2002) 1.

"In the shareware arena, my pick is URL Manager" - Adam C. Engst "You have got me addicted" - Henry Norr, San Francisco Chronicle "A must have for serious Web users" - Tucows rating: 5 out of 5 URL Manager Pro is the most powerful bookmark manager on the Macintosh. It offers: * Integration : You have access to your bookmarks from your browser's menu bar and from the Mac OS X Dock. * Document Storage : Your bookmarks are stored in URL Manager Pro bookmark documents, which you can store and manipulate in the normal Macintosh way. No need to hunt for your bookmarks in preferences folders of browsers. You can make automatic periodic saves and make copies of bookmark documents on backup devices on each save. * History : You can surf the web using several different browsers while URL Manager Pro will keep recording the History of each. * Importing and exporting bookmarks : The File menu gives you a list of all of the browsers that URL Manager Pro can import from and export to. It lets you 'harvest' bookmarks by scanning HTML and text files for bookmarks and URLs. * It lets you edit and organize bookmarks fast : You can use inline editing, label and color your bookmarks and use drag and drop of bookmarks within and between bookmark windows. * Tap Sherlock power : You can index your bookmark file and tap the power of Sherlock to look for words in your bookmark files. This version adds the Mondriaan Menu Extra for Mac OS X. Access your most used bookmark sets directly from the Mac OS X menu bar, even when URL Manager Pro isn't running!

Both Macs are connected to an Asante FriendlyNet hub, which is then connected to the cable modem. Our ISP provides two separate IP addresses, and with this setup we've both been able to be online at the same time. But for some reason, in the past few days this whole thing has gone down the toilet. No matter what we do, only one computer can be online at a time. Making computer A active disconnects computer B and vice versa. I've spent a couple of hours on the phone with our ISP, and they can't find a problem on their end. I've checked the settings in the TCP/IP control panel (OS9.1 and 9.2) and don't see anything unusual. I took the hub into the shop to be checked out and it's OK. I've swapped out the ethernet cables. I've even tried running OSX on computer B (and that's another story), and the problem still occurs. The only two things I haven't tried are having the cable company give me a brand new modem and using a different hub (I don't exactly keep spares around the house). Does anyone have a clue what's going on with this? It's driving us absolutely crazy! Thanks. -- keg ======================================== Keith E Gatling mailto:keithgatling@mac.com http://home.twcny.rr.com/gatling/keith Opinions? I've got plenty of them.

But the only option given there is "Check Disk if computer was shut down improperly." I want Disk First Aid to do its thing, but not give me the warning message. Will unchecking this option do the trick, or will it also prevent DFA from working? -- Paul Brians, Department of English Washington State University Pullman, WA 99164-5020 brians@wsu.edu http://www.wsu.edu/~brians -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
