Lichtenauer" To: Subject: [*] Passenger 1.2 Server Account/Password Tool Passenger is a server account creation and password generation tool that will import tab and comma-delimited text files, ASIP 6.3 XML Users, and folder names to create account information and passwords for AppleShare IP 5 - 6.3, Macintosh Manager, Eudora Internet Mail Server, WebSTAR FTP, WebSTAR Web, Edmark TNV, Master Spell and Master Key. Usernames can be formulated from names using tags. Users may also create user folders and set their privileges or define their own export formats for most tab or comma-delimited export. Passenger uses an algorithm for passwords so that they can be regenerated. Standard Edition ($60) offers importing and processing up to 150 user accounts at once. Professional Edition ($90) offers no hard limit on the number of users that can be imported and processed. Only limited by RAM and disk space. PowerPC required, Mac OS 8.5 or higher recommended. New in this version: - Added Export for AppleShare IP 5.0 - 6.2 - Added Group Folder creation (allowing for Edmark True Network Version account creation) - Added Group import level to folder import - Fixed Pupil Chooses Password in Master Key and Master Spell (setting was reversed) - Fixed check on master password for ASIP export - tags no longer import empty fields but instead completely omit - Fixed minor issues with import limitations http://macinmind.com/Passenger/ [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/passenger-12.hqx; 924 K] ------------------------------ Date: 13 Feb 2001 From: Kent Sorensen To: Subject: [*] Snak version 4.5.4 Snak is a program that will let you participate in discussions in Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels. IRC channels are virtual meeting rooms on the Internet, where people all over the world can have real-time conversations. IRC consists of many different networks, often with thousands of channels, each focused on a location or subject, and anything that is typed into the channel will be seen by the other members. This makes it possible to have a real-time conversation with people all over the world. You can also setup private channels without problems and use them to have private, real-time talks with friends, family or business associates. The largest of the IRC networks often have as many as 35.000 participants and almost anyone can find a channel that talks about a topic that is of interest to that particular person. It is estimated that at any given time more than 80.000 people are using IRC. Some of the most significant features of Snak: Two powerful scripting languages - AppleScript and ircII. Compatibility with many existing scripts written for other clients. Uniquely flexible interface allows multiple channels in one window. Easy access to MP3 files offered in the MP3 IRC channels. A channel bar for easy switching between channels. A consolidated list and information window. A divided main text with resizable text and nickname areas for better text display. Version 4.5 introduces extensive AppleScript support, improvements to the MP3 request list and address book, many useability improvements and bug fixes. A full version history and list of new features can be found on the Snak web site at http://www.snak.com/SnakHistory.html [Archived as /info-mac/comm/inet/snak-454.hqx; 1588 K] ------------------------------ Date: 13 Feb 2001 From: sweetmail@mac.com To: Subject: [*] SweetMail 2.08f2 SweetMail is an internet e-mail client for Macintosh that provides most powerful features with sweet interface.

Well, first you have to prove to Apple that you purchased a qualifying previous version of the operating system before they will sell you the OS 9.1 installation CD. That might be the problem.

I stopped all other apps and it's still there. True on my G3 at the office and my G4 at home. I asked Andrew Tomazos if it was Interarchy doing the listening and he claims not. Anybody have a clue who's doing the listening? Thanks, Bull of Blacksburg. -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
