XTimer Spy 1.1.2    March  1996

Farewell To eWorld

This new version does away with eWorld auto-tracking, due to eWorld's demise.  If you are an eWorld user, I'm very sorry that you have lost your service.  You will probably find that America Online is fairly close to what you experienced on eWorld; especially in their communications software, since they use essentially the same software.
     XTimer Spy provides auto-tracking for CompuServe as well as AOL.  As a service, I think CompuServe is more favorable to business and professional related usage.  There are dramatically far fewer Mac users on CompuServe, and that has a noticable effect on availability of shareware and other files, as well as CompuServe's interest in Mac users.  There are a lot of good arguments for both services.  You can get software for both services free, to try them out, so it's easy to check them out and decide for yourself what you like.
     An alternative to online services is to get a straight Internet account.  This also has many advantages and disadvantages.  The big advantage is the number of hours you can spend online without accruing extra charges.  If possible, having an online service and an Internet account is the best way to go; in my opinion.

Don't Forget

The "Auto-Tracking Off" box, in your preferences, must be unchecked for XTimer Spy to work.
