It gives users everything they need to find, publish and share information across the Internet and intranets right from within 1-2-3. Users can collaborate with colleagues on work in progress, and quickly access and use information from a wide range of sources. 1-2-3 97 delivers powerful, built-in tools for automating tasks and building custom business solutions.

Worksheet Titles can now be set in just one quick step. Users can modify the size or content of worksheet titles by simply clicking and dragging from inside the worksheet frame to the row or column where the title should end.

Full exploitation of Windows 95 and NT means users enjoy all the benefits of advanced operating systems, including 32-bit performance and enhanced memory management, the Windows 95 look and feel, support for long file names and UNC paths, and advanced OLE 2 automation.

1-2-3 and SmartSuite Applications are designed to work together seamlessly to make it easy for users to complete common cross-application tasks. All 32-bit SmartSuite applications share the same user interface elements, as well as common tools such as Lotus Chart, the Approach database engine and SmartCenter.

Customisability

1-2-3 now gives users and application developers a complete set of built-in tools for customising the Suite to meet their unique requirements and building powerful, integrated business solutions.

Create instant PC movies, and share them with others without the high cost of authoring products. Viewers can play movies back, even if they don't have ScreenCam installed.

Key Features and Benefits

Windows 95 integration  ScreenCam 97 support files names of up to 256 characters, full Windows 95 shell integration, Quick View, 32-bit application support, tabbed dialogues and more.

Internet  A few simple keystrokes configures a user's Web browser to automatically play ScreenCam movies when the ScreenCam icon is clicked from a Web page.

Pause  Movie designers can plan movies in logical, smaller length segments, record them, and then append them together seamlessly, eliminating the need to re-record the entire movie to improve only a small portion of it. The Jump to Segment button allows you to navigate quickly to a particular location in a movie.

Captions  Content, format and attributes for captions are easily created and incorporated to a ScreenCam screen track, for movies that do not use sound. Assign hot keys to recall captions to the proper place in a screen track.

Preferences  Improve the final "cut" of your ScreenCam movies in advance, by choosing preferences for a movie that control cropping, font fidelity between the system a movie is recorded on, and the one it is played back on.

Thumbnails  Generate thumbnails automatically for movies created using any version of

ScreenCam; generate thumbnails for colour depths greater than 256 colours.

Manage Movies  Visual graphics display screen track and soundtrack size, and the potential

compression results, to better manage the disk space needed for ScreenCam movies.

 Movie descriptors include the name of the person and company who originally created the movie, as well as the current user information and statistics about movie segment size.

 Movie size and file size offer additional information for better disk-space utilisation.

 A temporary directory for ScreenCam movies is user selectable.

Estimated System Requirements

Use Net.Data to build Web applications with connectivity to relational databases. Net.Data provides a development environment for quickly building high-performance Web-to-database applications.

Domino Go Webserver's key features

Client authentication and other security features

Domino Go Webserver supports SSL V3 including client authentication. The SSL V3 implementation also includes server authentication, data encryption, and additional Message Digest Hashing algorithms.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support

Domino Go Webserver includes an SNMP subagent, which maintains server information and performance data in an SNMP Management Information Base (MIB). From any SNMP-capable network manager (such as IBM NetView for AIX, TME10 Distributed Monitoring, or HP Open View) you can display, monitor, and adjust thresholds for your server performance.

SOCKS support and SSL tunneling

If your environment has a SOCKS-based firewall for access to the Internet, Domino Go Webserver can be used in a proxy server role to access destinations outside the firewall. Client connections which use SSL are "tunneled" through the proxy server, eliminating the need to decrypt and re-encrypt the data at the proxy.

HTTP Version 1.1 compliance

Support for HTTP now includes full HTTP 1.1 compliance, which provides support for persistent connections and virtual hosts. Persistent connections allow the server to accept multiple requests and to send responses over the same TCP/IP connection. This eliminates a great deal of connection processing, resulting in faster responses to the clients and reduced network bandwidth requirements. Virtual hosts allow the use of one IP address to serve multiple files instead of requiring different IP addresses for different files.

Expanded Common Gateway Interface (CGI) support

CGI support also includes the Java programming language in addition to the other languages supported, such as C, REXX, and Perl.

Fast Common Gateway Interface (CGI) support on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and OS/390

Fast CGI is a fast, open, and secure Web server interface that solves the performance problems inherent in CGI, without introducing the overhead and complexity of proprietary Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

Java Servlet and Java Beans support

Use Java on the server side to build powerful and portable Web applications. Domino Go Webserver provides a Java development environment based upon Sun Microsystems, Inc. standards for Java Servlets (server-side applications), Java Beans, and JDBC for database access. Use Java Beans to access your back-end systems and JDBC to access and extend your databases. Java servlets also typically offer very significant performance enhancements over CGI (Common Gateway Interface) applications and are truly portable.

Features Overview

Acts as a repository for home pages created with HTML

Answers requests from a Web browser (client) using HTTP to transfer documents

Provides proxy support, allowing a Web browser to access remote servers not directly accessible to it.

Supports proxy caching by temporarily storing files and then quickly responding to the next request for the files.

Provides language neutral server application support which is consistent across the full spectrum of supported platforms, for both Common Gateway Interface (CGI) applications and server extension applications.

Allows users to write Web server extensions that customise the processing of client requests, to include Java servlet support.

Allows server applications to dynamically insert information into an HTML document that the server sends to a client.

Efficiently maintains multiple Web sites on a single server with multiple IP address support.

Delivers enhanced logging and reporting

Allows error message customisation.

Includes a utility to generate X.509 Security Certificates for use within an enterprise or between business partners.

Lotus Notes 4.6

With Lotus Notes Release 4.6, Lotus continues to surpass its competitors by providing users with a network client that integrates tightly with desktop productivity applications, extends the functionality of popular Web browsers, and provides a new model for navigation of mail, Web pages, applications and personal calendars - all within one consistent user experience.

Release 4.6 addresses five key areas: integration with desktop productivity tools including Lotus SmartSuite and Microsoft Office; Microsoft Internet Explorer integration; a new task-oriented navigation scheme that vastly accelerates user productivity; enhanced contact management and POP3 support for Internet mail. Visit the Notes and Domino User Assistance site for the latest documentation.

Notes Client 4.6 Features

The focus of the Notes Release 4.6 client is personal integration and management of content from Notes databases, Internet mail, and the Web. This release contains a number of significant enhancements, including a new user interface metaphor (the portfolio database) for task-oriented navigation, improved web browsing, enhanced Microsoft Office and Lotus SmartSuite integration, Internet (POP3/SMTP) mail, and seamless Web access from the Notes client. The Personal Address Book has also been enhanced to support better contact management functions and integration with core Notes features. Below is a listing of the most significant enhancements in this release:

Portfolios: A new navigation paradigm

Portfolios represent a new way to navigate and manage information either individually or between members of a group. A portfolio is a group of applications that have a common theme. The following usage scenarios illustrate how they might be used:

Usage Scenario 1: Each Notes Release 4.6 user has a portfolio called "Favorites" which is automatically created during the setup process. By default, this portfolio includes navigational icons representing the following applications: e-mail, calendar, to-do lists, personal name and address book, a personal journal and the web. These applications comprise the most basic set of what an individual needs to access and manage information within Notes. The portfolio allows an individual to easily and efficiently navigate among these applications in such a way that the actual activity of navigation is more natural for the user and, instead, the focus is on the task and the job at hand, not the actual applications. Portfolios can be totally personalized so that users can add the applications they use to their Favourites portfolio for easy access.

Usage Scenario 2: A new employee starts in your company and you want that employee to have access to all of the common corporate resources such as corporate policies, company benefits information, your corporate directory and electronic forms for performing various activities. A portfolio which includes all of these applications could be created and centrally managed by the Human Resources department and provided to each new employee when they start.

Integration with Lotus SmartSuite and Microsoft Office - Notes 4.6 offers superb integration with Lotus SmartSuite and Microsoft Office on a number of points using the Windows ActiveDoc technology. Here are a few of the highlights:

Use Lotus Word Pro 97, Microsoft Word 95, or Microsoft Word 97, as an alternate e-mail editor - it's your choice.

Free Document Library application included to share and route documents with others securely using built-in workflow. Create proposals, budgets and presentations within Notes using the business productivity applications you're used to and route them around to colleagues using the built-in workflow capabilities in Notes and Domino.

WBI (Web Browser Intelligence)

WBI is an electronic Internet "buddy" that keeps track of users' Internet activity and generally helps make Web browsing simpler and easier. WBI uses intelligent agent technology to reduce the Internet's complexity, helping both experienced and inexperienced users.

WBI (pronounced "webby") agent software simplifies and personalises Web use by:

* Noticing patterns in Web browsing and suggesting shortcuts.

* Automatically checking favourite Web pages for changes.

* Testing the speed of links between pages.

* Remembering a complete Web history, making it easy to return to a site.

* Searching through previously viewed information to find an information source.

* Letting users look back in "Web time" to see how they have visited pages in the past.

* Providing connectivity to both Proxy and Socks servers.

When the WBI agent is connected to a Web browser, it captures information about each page a users accesses. Over time, the agent learns usage patterns well enough to predict user patterns. The result, called "Quantum Link," advises the user about the associated page. This feature can be applied in teaching applications, information access, network management and even electronic mail.

WBI also tracks all Web use. To find information on the Fly Fishing page, users can search for all instances when that page was accessed and recreate the links for those instances.

WBI can also generate automated hot lists by analysing most frequently accessed or most recently accessed pages.

System Requirements

WBI Requirements Platform Windows 95, Windows NT or OS/2 Computer 486/66 DX2 Browser Any HTML 2.0 browser RAM 16MBDisk Space 5-10MB

Installation Procedures for Windows 95:

1.Download WBI.
