CU-SeeMe is a videoconferencing program. You use it with MacTCP (i.e. over the Net).
-----------------Changes in 0.85b1 (22 August 1996)
This release is mainly a bug-fix release with some new features.
Fixes:
1. Reduce the possibility of a system hang during "Quit".
2. Avoid random memory smashes on PPC machines.
3. Avoid a "push-to-crash" problem with the Audio Window "push to talk" button.
4. Improve the reliability of the Chat Window messages.
5. (Other small items too numerous and obscure to mention.)
New features:
1. Include a built-in Chat Window to functionally replace the Talk Window plug-in routine. (See below for more comments on this feature.)
2. Detect color video being sent by White Pine's Enchanced CU-SeeMe and identify it as such in the Participant List by showing the user "name" in red. (Cornell's CU-SeeMe cannot decode color video -- at present -- and so color senders have to be treated as "lurkers", just as if they are sending no video at all.)
Details on the Chat Window:
1. This feature is built into CU-SeeMe and so all users of this version will have it. There is no need to download the "TalkFM" program that was used with previous versions, but that program, if available, can still be used.
2. The window can be re-sized in the normal fashion and the division between "output" and "input" can be adjusted by dragging the "black bar" in the "elevator".
3. The "Config" button can be used to change the font and size of the window contents.
4. The "Filter" button can be used to enable or disable message filtering. (Please note that this process can take several seconds -- don't panic!)
5. The "Reset" button can be used to eliminate all message filters.
6. If you want to filter out some user's messages, then just double-click on the user's name in the output portion of the window. When the dialog box comes up, check that you want to filter out these messages and click "OK". You can also double-click the name to turn off the filtering of that user's messages.
7. The messages are retained in memory, even if you have filtered them out, so that you can turn off the filtering and see the messages once more.
Known problems:
1. We still cannot use the built-in digitizer (video-in) on a 7500 or 8500 PPC if virtual memory is turned on. You must turn off virtual memory if you want to use that digitizer. (Yes, it *is* a bug!)
2. If you choose to filter the data in your Chat Window, and if there is a lot of data there, then the filtering process may take several seconds when it is turned on or turned off. Do not panic! (We should at least show you a spinning ball cursor to show you that we are hard at work!)
