- Welcome to the latest update on Macintosh/Internet information. This month we
- have an eclectic collection of information available on the Internet including
- more Java beans, and the latest from Dave Winer.

- Internet
- I am sure you have heard about the battle of the Internet browsers, but just to
- make sure that you know where to find each, here are the URLs.
- Netscape Navigator 2.0 http://cgi.netscape.com/cgi-bin/123.cgi
- Microsoft Internet Explorer

- Speaking of Java, we have another site of Macintosh-specific Java information,
- by Rusty Harold, who also writes the Well Connected Mac. Between the two, Rusty
- must be keeping quite busy. Check it out if you are interested in Java.
- Cafe Au Lait (MacJava) http://sunsite.unc.edu/javafaq/
- Dave Winer has yet another spin-off of his Frontier technology. He has created
- a graphical front end to Frontier that can be invoked from within Web pages. It
- is sort of like HyperCard for Web pages. He is currently trying to port it to
- other environments, but if you have a Macintosh (which I bet you do), you can
- try it out first.

- Macintosh
- Apple is in the process of putting Inside Macintosh on the Web. Not just
- references, but the complete books, including illustrations, tables, and sample
- code! They have QuickDraw-3D and Files available as I write this. Is this a
- sign of what is to come in the publishing business? Stay tuned to find out.
- Inside Mac http://dev.info.apple.com/insidemac.htm
- For those of us interested in development and debugging, Seapine has created a
- page of testing and quality-control tools (debuggers, testing tools, source code
- control, testing services).
- Seapine Software (MacQC) http://www.seapine.com/qclinks.html
- Here we have someone doing Apple’s job. Matthew McRae has taken it upon himself
- to be an unofficial evangelist for the Macintosh. He is maintaining an archive
- of the EvangeList mailing list, soliciting suggestions from people about how to
- make the Macintosh better, keeping a page of links to other information, and in
- general doing what an Evangelist does. Maybe Apple will hire him when he
- graduates.

- Neat non-Macintosh site of the Month
- Well, it’s not non-Macintosh, but you can certainly waste a lot of time!
- Time-Warner has built a graphical network chat system that runs on the Internet,
- as well as AppleTalk networks. It is really quite neat! If you go to the Web
- site below, you can download the software. Besides providing a client, you can
- also download a server that will let you create “rooms.” The Palace is a
- virtual building that is distributed across publicly accessible servers. To
- access all of the features of the client, you need to register the software, but
- it isn’t very expensive, and you can then give yourself your own name (instead
- of Guest) and create your own face pictures. If you really get into it, you can
- write programs in iptScrae (pig latin anyone?) and cause all sorts of magical
- things to happen. There are many cool ideas here, and it is lots of fun.

- Well, that is it for this month. As always, if you find something interesting,
- or have updates, send them to URLs@MacTech.com.
- Thanks this month to Jesse Carneiro, Rusty Harold, Maurice Inzirillo, Holli
- Kearns, Matthew McRae, Brent Simmons, and many others for their contributions of
- suggestions and pointers to new and old sites.
