THE WEB, ACCORDING TO LEADING WEB DEVELOPERS
Los Angeles, August 10, 1998 - Resolving incompatibilities among browsers
adds at least 25 percent to the cost of building Web sites, according to
The Web Standards Project (WSP), a newly-formed international coalition of
leading Web developers dedicated to promoting a worldwide standard for Web
and browser design. Calling on browser makers to live up to promises made
in July 1997, the WSP ( http://www.webstandards.org ) is urging browser
makers to fully support the standards created by the Worldwide Web
Consortium (W3C) in the upcoming round of browser releases, as well as
support emerging standards that are being developed. Otherwise, contends
the WSP, millions of dollars will continue to be wasted each year on Web
development.
"The time for proprietary innovation in Web browsers is past," says Glenn
Davis, Chief Technology Officer of Project Cool, Inc., a Palo...</div></div></span>

Finally, there is a java editor with a REAL difference and its only US$20
for a limited time. This is not just about color-coded syntax and code
indentation... this is much more.
SpotCheck is designed to help a Java programmer produce correct code
without relying on confusing and untimely feedback from a compiler.
Specifically, SpotCheck identifies syntax errors and semantic errors
(undefined names, type mismatches, etc.) -- those errors normally returned
by a compiler. This analysis is performed after each edit, giving the
programmer immediate feedback on errors. Now, you only need to compile to
produce executable code.
SpotCheck provides a host of additional features, including:
* smart links to name declarations
* cross-referenced Java APIs
* editing with popup menus
* interfaces to helper apps to compile & run
* hierarchical project browsing
* full support for the Java1.1.x language and APIs

availability of the final candidate to MacCoach 2.0. As its name already
indicates, this is what we plan to ship as our final version. We'll allow
for a period of two weeks to report bugs to (support@neuronsys.com). In

expect a few minor changes, if any at all for the final release of MacCoach

the availability of MacOS based server applications. We will however be
more than glad to let our customers and reviewers be the judge of that. We
welcome each and every suggestion for improvements on the current release.

SCSIShare Software
MILL VALLEY, CA - July 27th, 1998 - Stalker Software Inc., has created an
unique scanner sharing software, SCSIShare (v1.6.1) which allows the
sharing of a scanner across the network. Up until today there was no demo
version available.
SCSIShare was released in September of 1994 and has grown in popularity
both in the graphic industry and journal departments of educational
facilities worldwide. As an office solution SCSIShare allows a scanner to
become "networkable" freeing the need for a dedicated scan station. This
allows the individual in the office with the scanner to remain free from
interruption from someone needing to use his/her work station to scan.
SCSIShare is a server/client application using the control panel to link
the scanner work station to the other remote stations on the network. By
creating "virtual" devices on the client machines, SCSIShare allows

- The fastest, most secure, way for prepress and printing companies to send

FISHERS, IN July, 14 1998 - Pine Island Software breathes new life into an
old standard with the release of Beehive ftp forms v2.0 . Beehive ftp forms
has merged the html forms standard with drag and drop ftp to create an

by implementing a "secure key" system that encrypts the ftp site, path, and

without security risk.
