Mostly Mac-Related Sites

This is the *ultimate* Mac archive site on the web. You can literally spend all day here within this virtual mall of Mac shareware goodies and information. If you are a fan of the info-mac archive sites then you really *must* check this place out. You'll be amazed. Really amazed. There is a top 50 shareware download area. You can search for software by keywords, search alphabetically and other search criteria exists. This site includes a huge HyperCard section a separate tools/utilities section and a list of HENSA/micros mirror sites. This is a mega-site that can compare to the sumex-aim/info-mac archives except it's done in WWW page format and presents its huge archive of Mac goodies in an easy to use, "web friendly" way that will have you thinking that you arrived in Mac heaven as you surf through the aisles of this amazing site. Many of the software links are gopher links which work transparently within you browser and all downloads are "point and click" easy to do. This is a ***must see*** site for all Mac users. A ***** Five Star Rating

This site has lots of links to many Mac and Apple Inc. related resources. Under construction but this site shows lots of promise and offers a wide and comprehensive variety of topics and resources that will make every Mac user smile. Check this site out! This could quickly turn into a Mac user's heaven on the web. Every day the site grows more and more complete so by the time this new issue of BIGSURF is out - the trip here will be grand!

This is the Home Page for HENSA/micros and is one of the largest archives of software available on the WWW. It contains linked sections to software for Macintosh, DOS, Windows, Amiga, a huge separate Unix section and more! The software is searchable and this is the equivalent of "Disneyland" on the web for those folks who enjoy finding software/shareware and being able to search using a variety of criteria. This is a place everyone that has web access needs to visit to appreciate. It just may change you from always going to ftp sites such as simtel or info-mac for all your software needs. HENSA/micros site is ****Highly recommended**** and a *must visit*

Much of the force behind this compilation is the Bitnet listserv PAGEMAKR and thus, many of the documents have a slight slant towards PageMaker.

Now that you know what is available, let me tell you how it is available. As you probably know, there are a number of tools available for the Internet user. Some that can be used to access the previously mentioned DTP files are:

If you have any questions regarding any of the above files, please do not hesitate to contact Geof Peters via email address: gwp@cs.purdue.edu listed above.

This Web site contains pointers to all sorts of Macintosh related items.

The "mother" of all gophers from the Univ of Minnesota.There is a whole host of important internet tools, like POP Mail, Sparkle and Telnet applications plus lots more. A must visit for any Mac user.

There are free implementations of PPP (Merit's MacPPP) and SLIP (Intercon's InterSLIP) available on the net via FTP:

Basically, a Mac needs MacTCP, a control panel developed to allow Macintoshes access to TCP/IP networks. SLIP or PPP implementations work with MacTCP pretty much transparently, usually as another control panel. Typical senario: Configure your SLIP/PPP connection with your connection number/modem type/passwords, make sure MacTCP is in there (2.0.6 is recommended), and then connect to the server! That's all there is to it; the config and connect procedure is a little different with teach SLIP/PPP program.

MacTCP isn't free, but it's bundled with System 7.5 or available as an independent product from an Apple dealer. The upgrade patch to 2.0.6 (you'll probably get 2.0.4 with System 7.5 or a dealer) is available on all major online services, and on www.info.apple.com. It's important to note that you can only upgrade VIRGIN copies of MacTCP to 2.0.6 (one that hasn't been used at all), but don't worry: detailed instructions come with the patch. And in case you can't get it immediately, don't fret version 2.0.6 offers no new features, but instead is a little more robust in its resolving capability, and handles some low memory situations better.

* Asterisks accompany applications whose version numbers change frequently. FTP to the appropriate site and look in the directory stated by the appropriate URL.

You'll also want to get a copy of Aladdin's excellent freeware utility StuffIt Expander, which will decode or decompress various formats.

NewtNews is a weekly freeware Internet newsletter that focuses on the Apple Newton, and other related industry and PDA information.

Use the second URL to find newer versions if the first is not valid. Every Mac user should have some type of virus checking and erradicating software. Disinfectant is not only free to the public - it is one of the best available virus software for the Mac. Period. It is being constantly upgraded and maintained and offers great protection. If you do not have this software on your Mac or are paying big bucks for commercial solutions, stop right now! Get to this ftp site and download this software PRONTO!

The call of the "moof" is heard here...

Well... they are supposed to have a VRML viewer available for Mac but the last time I checked, all that was stated was "we're working on it" and that the VRML viewer would be "available soon." Perhaps by the time this issue of BIGSURF reaches you this viewer will be available. Worth a visit to see.

Stay tuned for details... in the meantime READ the FAQ!!!

A must have for MacTCP folks or SLIP/PPP connections. A software utility that monitors how MacTCP is working, passing packets, test your domain name server, ping other machines on the 'net and more. MacTCP Watcher - Get it.

Anarchie is also by Peter Lewis and is (perhaps) the BEST hybrid tool out there. It combines both the functions of ftp and archie search tools. Simply type the name of the program you want and Anarchie automatically logs in to an Archie server, finds the software and then downloads it for you! This is a MUST HAVE for any SLIP/PPP connected user. Incredible!

Maven is an audio-conferencing tool (that's right - send your voice over the Internet to others). Even though it's a bandwidth hog you just may be able to pass through the packets with a 14.4 (maybe) and can start actually being useful at 28.8K speeds or higher. A neat tool that may work for you. Newer versions are now able to be used with success over 14.4K connections.

Audio encoding software that is now available for the Mac. Listen to audio in real-time. New compression schemes. Free client player for Mac available and a new Mac compression encoder due out soon. An audio "streamer" this promises to be a big success. Many large Corporations now subscribe to using this new technology and are having great success with it. Try it!

A highly experimental MPEG based audio site that features MPEG encoding and MPEG compressed audio files and MPEG format implementations.

The infamous Virtual Internet Backbone for multicast IP transmissions.

A large and comprehensive list of various "white papers" on multicast protocols and formats with links and pointers to additional information.

A site that gives you hourly updated news (audio) over the Internet.

MIT's great web site that is experimenting with a new MIME type and viewer that can synthesize sound in real time over TCP/IP transmissions.

A commercial site that offers free downloads of its client and also offers its RealAudio server (for purchase). Has the ability to deliver real-time sound over the Internet. Web pages can contain RealAudio proprietary format compressed sounds and users can access with the free client software. The client software is available for several platforms and operating systems.

A commercially available client and server for audio compression and full delivery on the Internet. Please visit this site for further information.

Cool GUI tool (for SLIP/PPP) that lets you link to weather information from cities all throughout the US and Canada. Also can link to off-shore Marine forecast centers. Has a graphic barometer and themometer, wind direction gauge and wind speed gauge. There's even a Weather mini-window that shows cloudy, rainy, clear, etc. This is a very cool way to get weather reports! A simple, easy to use yet powerful weather report utility. You'll love it!

One of the coolest gopher clients around. A GUI weatherman and a whole lot more. Complete weather info available plus gopher links to other great gophers. It's supposed to be "educational" (boring) but it's far from boring. In fact, if you don't have this gopher client - you're not getting the most out of your SLIP/PPP connection. GET THIS NOW! For Macs only!

The BEST and easiest to use mail program for SLIP/PPP Mac users. There is no better. Has plenty of functionality yet remains absurdly easy to use. If you are running a SLIP/PPP connection then GET THIS. Period.

Audio/video conferencing via Macs connected to Internet by SLIP/PPP, T1 56Kbs, or direct connection. It works over low-bandwidth lines and is becoming the choice for schools and education to run video-conferencing sessions. Now THIS is what the Internet communications is all about folks! If your institution has Macs on the Internet - don't delay - get this! It's the best way to video-conference without added expense and high cost. New versions for PowerPC and Windows users too! Cross-platform capabilites and add-ons make this a great Internet conferencing tool. Check it out!

A little known but well stocked site that has almost everthing an Internet Mac user could need or want. A treasure trove of software awaits the Macintosh traveller. Go here instead of those overworked sumex-aim type ftp sites. You'll be glad you came!

The Macmeister's personal home page. Don is one of the most well-versed persons on the Mac platform and has a regular column in MacWeek and also is a major contributor to the the knowledge base of all things "Macintosh"

A complete and searchable listing of scads of Mac shareware and freeware.

That is a well run archive that has most of the latest shareware and freeware utilities for the Macintosh. Use the searchable database at Nexor (listed in the previous site directly above this one) to search the software database to see what is available at this site. This a URL worth keeping and (in some ways) rivals and sometimes surpasses sumex-aim sites.

This is MUST reading for any Mac user. Contains news of everything that is Macintosh related including networking news. A must-visit site.

Checkout the "Tools for Internet Exploration."

Here is a great place for anyone to start in their hunt for great utilities you can use to cruise the Web ... and just about any other TCP/IP goody.

Silicon Graphics has announced that it is coming out with its own VRML browser (that is, Virtual Reality Markup Language, the supposed next step from the standard HyperText Markup Language used on the Web today). A Mac-savvy version is expected out this summer (1995)

The files are tia.companion.mac.setup and tia.companion.win.setup. TIA (The Internet Adapter) lets dial-up users connect as if they were using a full-fledged SLIP/PPP account! Lets you use graphical software on the net previously only for true SLIP/PPP connections. The DOS/Windows counterpart to TIA is called "SLIP Knot" and also lets users run SLIP/PPP GUI software from their machines over a dial-up connection. Unfortunately, many service providers have banned the use of TIA and SLIP Knot. Check to see if your dial-up service provider allows the use of TIA before you begin the process of installing and configuring TIA software.

SLIrP is a free SLIP emulator for Mac users (located on the users Unix dial-up server). SLIrP allows a normal dial-up Unix shell user to act as if connected with a SLIP account. This allows the user to use graphical SLIP software such as Eudora for email, Fetch for FTP, TurboGopher as a gopher client and graphical web browsers such as Mosaic, Netscape and MacWeb. It operates on the same premise as TIA but seems to be need less overhead, (ie. the connection overhead is less so you run faster) and SLIrP seems to be much easier to configure. A great alternative to TIA.

Adam Engst's bric-a-brac site with net utilities for Macintosh. Excellent.

SoundApp is a great sound utility that no Mac user should be without. Can handle many various sound and audio formats. While you're here, check out the other offerings of sound utilities available within the directory.

This is like the original NewsWatcher on steroids! Wow! This is my favorite newsreader for Macintosh. Too many features to list here.

These are the some of the BEST newsreaders for Mac users connected with either SLIP/PPP. My personal preference is VA-NewsWatcher. Tres cool!

QuickTime v2.0 is not easy to find. It's not on any *official* Apple site but here is a round-a-bout but legitimate way to obtain v2.0. Go to the above Radius ftp site and go through the directory path listed above and then download (get) the file named "vvision 2.0 Images.sea.hqx" This is a fairly LARGE download that after decompression contains a lot of folders and such but if you go through all the folders you will come up with the included QuickTime 2.0 extension. Where there's a will... there's a way. Note: the files are in disk-image format so you must use a DiskImage utility such as Apple's own DiskCopy or a better alternative is ShrinkWrap which is a wonderful shareware offering found on all sumex-aim sites.

The fantastic Stanford sumex-aim info-mac ftp site is now available through this World-Wide Web mirror site of info-mac brought to you by MIT. A neat way to access this huge and complete Mac software and info archive.

Huge archive called SIMTEL20 is located here that has software for every Operating System - from MS DOS to Macintosh to Windows to Amiga to Unix and then some! Well worth the trip.

Washington University in St. Louis has not only the SIMTEL20 archive but a whole host of other software in every different platform flavor known. This is also a mirror of the [mac.archive.umich.edu] Univ of Mich ftp site

Popular Univ. of Michigan archive is perhaps the premier Macintosh site and includes all sorts of Macintosh software. This site is supported by Apple Inc. so you know it's got to be good. If busy - try a mirror site.

The "grand-daddy" of Mac sites. One of the best Mac ftp sites on the planet. Unfortunately getting on to it is nearly impossible since the traffic here is so darn high. Every Mac user on the planet wants to go here so try out one of its mirror sites. You can get the current mirror site list in the /help directory. Please see the sumex-aim mirrors info at the end of this section. It is *strongly* advised that you use a mirror site rather than attempting to connect to this "home" site.

A less travelled and accessible mirror of the sumex-aim ftp site.

Hint: check out the /tools directory and subdirectories for interesting and hard-to-find software. Contains software for many platforms.

Another very good mirror site to sumex-aim. More accessible than sumex-aim

One of the best archive sites for freeware and shareware. A helpful Usenet archive is maintained here as well as general information documents on Usenet. Other items include a fairly large database of graphic files.

A great and seldom used site - has a good collection of Mac internet tools Maintained by the author of "The Mac Internet Tour Guide"

The following section does not conform to the normal layout of BIGSURF only because it is a direct reprint of an HTML file produced by the people at Info-Mac. We felt that since they went to the trouble of producing a pre-formatted document that this is the manner in which they would want to be represented: nothing has been altered in any way. Everything should work just as you are used to. =)

We ask that you use these mirrors, and NOT SUMEX-AIM, because the load on it makes it difficult for us to manage the Archive! We recommend that you avoid mirror sites that are not listed here, because they are not in touch with us and do not have permission to carry the Archive.

Please contact us at info-mac-request@sumex-aim.stanford.edu if you have any trouble using any of these sites, find any of this info to be incorrect, or know of a site not listed here.

In this small hide-away site you'll find needed Mac utilities in easy to use downloadable binary format (no binhex decoder needed!) You'll find the original Binhex 4.0, MacGzip (for .gz files), VfW 1.1 patched (for AVI files), and lots more. A little known but invaluable site.

Holy moly! There's a wealth of Mac stuff here and if you don't select Mac and just look around the root directory (before selecting "mac") there's lots of other info as well. This is a great and often over-looked gopher site. Take a break from the sumex-aim and umich sites - try this one out!

Make your SLIP/PPP home Mac a dedicated ftp server! Easy to set-up and use.

The undisputed "king" and most prolific author of Macintosh Internet and networking shareware has his shareware collection archive at this ftp site. This archive features all the latest versions and updates. Invaluable site.

A great place to start your searches for networking and Internet shareware for Macintosh. This site has abundant links and pointers for all sorts of shareware software available for public distribution. Excellent site.

This is a fantastically good free Mac list server. This is the perfect companion to MailShare which is also free (a Mac-based Internet mail server that supports POP [Post Office Protocol] and SMTP [Simple Mail Transfer Protocol]). Macjordomo has many features of Majordomo which is the popular unix listserver. The difference is that Macjordomo puts all the core features of Majordomo into a very easy to use "Mac-i-fied" package. Creating and maintaining a listserv doesn't get any easier than this folks! The Mac now has the ability to be used as a "complete" server solution for Internet connections with relatively inexpensive shareware or freeware. Just think - an ftp site with ftpd - listserv with Macjordomo - a POP mail server with MailShare - a Web server with MacHTTP or httpd - and the list goes on... Look Ma! No more Unix!

Jim Milles has made this ftp site available that has a collection of mail serve and listserv commands explained in a helpful document. The commands are found in and supported by most mail server software. A great resource when you forget the command to unsubscribe to a listserv or a mailing list as you're getting ready to go on a vacation. Yikes!

Everything you need here to get started on the Internet and general Mac networking. All the needed utility software and more. Even has brief explanations on what much of the software does. A great "one-stop" shopping site to pick up all those Internet tools and applications you need to help connect, decode and decompress things on the 'net. A good beginner site. Links to the home zMac archive for Macintosh. This is not to be confused with Ziffnet/Mac which is another Mac related affair...

Fantastic freeware version of BBEdit. Every Mac user should have this excellent text editor. Accepts all BBEdit plug-in extensions tools. Get it.

Not as good as Netscape but very fast and less RAM requirements.

Note: the Windows version is located in -> /PC/Windows/Mosaic

Netscape is my personal favorite web browser for Mac users. This is absolutely the BEST WWW browser for Macintosh! Get it!

If you get the most recent full version of Acrobat then you also receive within the large download the newest full version of ATM for Type 1 fonts. ATM (Adobe Type Manager) is a System CDEV designed to give the user smooth font outlines onscreen by rasterizing font outlines via the postscript font files. No user should be without ATM that uses Postscript fonts. Period. You will need to have at least one bitmap font size installed. 12 point is a good choice although many users choose to keep more than one bmap size.

This is Novell's WWW Home page and the Envoy document viewer is available for download here free of charge. The viewer lets users view, annotate and highlite existing Envoy cross-platform docs. You cannot create Envoy docs with the viewer. Novell is hoping Envoy will become the new standard of cross-platform shareable docs so you'll be seeing more of 'em out there.

Well done page - lots of pointers and links to Mac related info that can be accessed on the Internet. A great site to find Audio/Visual tools and info.

Brought to you by Ric Ford, a MacWEEK regular, this site has all those neat tidbits of info that make the trip here always woth the while. This site always has info you simply won't find anywhere else and always has all the new tips for Mac users. Always up do date - make tracks to this site that is off the normally beaten path. All sorts goodies and info await you - I promise. Stuff such as info on various extensions and how they interact with the Mac system and what patches they might apply. Most of the info is explained so that all users can understand. Take a surf here - it's simply a great site that every Mac computing enthusiast should visit regularly.

A list of available CD-ROM titles plus links to tips and info relating to various CD-ROMS out there. Myst tips, Rocket Science info and many others.

Hopefully one of these sites will be available to you! In each of the sites above the application you are looking for is called "Sparkle" or more correctly "sparkle245.hqx". The new version of Sparkle (v2.4.5) now only supports Mac System 7.5. This does not mean that System 7.0, 7.0.1, or System 7.1 users can't run Sparkle but they will have to pick up the needed extension "Thread Manager" on their own. System 7.5 includes the "Thread Manager" extension. If you use a system older than 7.5 you MUST install the Thread Manager. So where can you get the Thread Manager? It's bundled with the Turbo-Gopher client (v2.0.1) from the Univ of Minnesota. It's a good idea to get Turbo-Gopher anyway (if using a SLIP/PPP) so you'll be doing yourself a favor all around! Sparkle works great and you can also convert MPEG encoded files into QuickTime movies with this software. It can also read and convert PICT files as well. This is a *must* have piece of software for every Mac user out there! Simply fantastic! Get it.

Mike Trent of Beloit College has a nifty home page that has a plethora of listed free Mac software. Hes also the author of CPU Reporter 1.0 which in he says... "is a small, almost useless, application that identifies the CPU your Macintosh is using. It is useful for people with PowerMac Upgrade Cards (or similar accelerators) who find themselves switching between processors frequently. The CPU number is displayed in a small floating window bar. CPU Reporter remembers the position of the window bar between sessions." For further information on Mike's CPU Reporter his email address is: trentmd@stu.beloit.edu (Mike Trent). Thanks Mike for a truly "groovy" web page for Mac users!

Simon Gibbs has made a wonderfully rich page of multimedia information and many links to multimedia information available. All sorts of links are within the treasure trove and it has to be one of the best multimedia sources available. Not for "techies" only although somewhat technical in its offerings. Anyone wishing to find out more about the many different multimedia specifications, formats,applications and sources (including available source code) is urged to visit here.

Announcing GopherVR - At GopherCON '94 we talked about using 3D scenes as a user interface metaphor for navigating the Internet and visualizing relationships and clustering of documents. Early (alpha test) releases of Macintosh and Unix Gopher clients that display 3D scenes are now available via gopher and anonymous ftp from the University of Minnesota.

Why a 3D user interface to Gopher? - Gopher has an explicit organization and structure which is external to the content of the documents, so it is straightforward to map a 3D virtual world interface onto the existing gopher servers. Since the Gopher+ protocol also has provisions for open ended extensions and meta-information that resides external to the content of documents, it is also easy for servers to give 3D-savvy clients the 3D spatial coordinates and orientation of objects in a gopher directory. This means that we can both synthesize 3D scenes from existing non-3D-savvy Gopher servers, and take advanatge of new 3D-savvy servers without reworking the contents of the documents published in Gopher.

Virtual world interfaces give us a powerful data visualization tool. GopherVR makes it possible to display clustering of documents which is not feasible on either a menu or a flat page. Combining GopherVR with servers that catagorize and cluster collections of documents will make it possible to visualize complex retationships within collections. To be effective, moving about the 3D scene must be fast and fluid, and GopherVR has been optimized for quick navigationn within the scene without hardware Z-buffer.

What comes after this release? - With later versions of this software you will be able to define 3D icons for objects in Gopherspace, and server administrators will be able to specify placement of objects in 3D scenes. In addition, there will be more user navigation features for browsing within the 3D scenes.

Macintosh - TurboGopherVR is an Internet Gopher client that combines a point and click browser interface to the Internet with a 3D virtual-world interface. Essentially, this is a superset of the current release version of TurboGopher (version 2.0) with 3D extensions.

TurboGopherVR 2.1a** requires a PowerPC Macintosh running System 7 or better. System 7.5.1 is recommended since this version of the system software includes a much improved floating point math library. A version for 68K Macs is also now available from this site. Included with the 68K distribution is the Thread Manager (System Extension) needed for System 7.1 users.

Fred is an ongoing research project at the Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC) studying the manipulation of tagged text. Fred includes tools to translate tagged text (SGML) to other formats. Currently, OCLC uses Fred to translate from SGML to HTML, TeX (PostScript), and ASCII -- showing that one should markup text in rich SGML and translate it to other formats as the need arises.
