Subject: [*] CommuniGate POP Gate 2.3
CommuniGate POPGate 2.3
The POP Gate is a CommuniGate communication module supporting E-mail
message transfer using the POP Internet protocol (RF1939, RFC1725) via
TCP/IP networks. MIME (RFC 1341) support and various attachment encoding
methods are provided with the CommuniGate Server kernel itself.
The POP Gate module supports multi-stream communications. For each
registered user, POPGate can retrieve messages from several remote
mailboxes.
POP Gate can retrieve mail for your entire domain using so-called
"Unified Domain-wide accounts" and distribute it.
The POP Gate module can operate as a POP3 server, provide access to
CommuniGate user mailboxes for several remote users simultaneously. It
can also provide access to Unified-Domain wide accounts.
The latest version of the CommuniGate System components and the update
System manuals can be obtained from: <http://www.stalker.com> or
<ftp://ftp.stalker.com>
To be notified about updates: send any message to

Subject: [*] CommuniGate Server 2.9
CommuniGate Server 2.9
The CommuniGate Server is the kernel part of the CommuniGate integrated
messaging system. When installed, it runs in background (no dedicated
machine required) and: * stores all messages sent and received; *
enables network access for CommuniGate users, maintains their mailboxes,
queues, etc.; * loads and runs CommuniGate modules (i.e. Fax Gate, UUCP
Gate, SMTP Gate, IMAP Gate, etc.) and creates the runtime environment
for those modules; * maintains system activity log; * implements routing
algorithms; * maintains a resource database and provides access to that
database for
CommuniGate users and CommuniGate modules (fax cover pages, sounds,
voice scripts, info tables, etc.).
The CommuniGate services can be accessed with the CommuniGator client
software. The client software allows you to compose and read messages,
to manage your mailboxes, etc. It is also used by CommuniGate
administrator
to configure, maintain, monitor and control the CommuniGate server -
locally or remotely.
When the POP Gate and SMTP Gate modules are installed, the CommuniGate
Server can be used as a messaging server for clients running not only
the CommuniGator application, but plain POP-based mailers (as Eudora and
Emailer), on any platform.
When the IMAP Gate is installed, the CommuniGate Server can be used with
any IMAP-based mail client, on any platform.

Subject: [*] Finder Windows 1.2.2 - Add a window menu to the Finder
Have you ever wished that the Finder had a simple "Window" menu like
many other applications? Finder Windows 1.2.2 is a control panel that
adds a "Window" menu to the Finder. You can now see a list of all the
Finder's open windows, choose among them, stack them, and arrange them.
Finder Windows requires System 7 or higher. Portions of Finder Windows
will run native on PowerMacs if you have one. Finder Windows 1.2.2 fixes
a few bugs in Finder Windows 1.2.1. It includes all the features of
version 1.2.1, such as an optional menu icon, an optional startup icon,
menu shortcut customization, and balloon help. It also alphabetizes the
list of windows in the menu and reduces the size of the startup code by
almost 20%. This is the English version of Finder Windows. Other
versions are also available. The author can be contacted at
support@quadratic.com.

Subject: [*] Keys Off 1.2.1
Keys Off makes it easy to prevent anyone from tampering with your
Macintosh. Once you tell Keys Off how you want your Mac protected,
pressing a single Hot Key will activate that protection. Type in the
password you have chosen and the protection is removed. Version 1.2 adds
many new options while providing a new and cleaner user-interface.
Unlike a screen saver with a password, Keys Off allows your Mac to
display data normally while remaining protected. Plus, the protection
offered by Keys Off can be highly customized. You can lock out the
keyboard, menu bar, mouse clicks, power key, command-key shortcuts, or
disk insertions, individually, or in any combination you choose. This
makes it perfect in situations where you want your Mac to run a program
or demonstration, yet you still want to prevent anyone from tampering
with it.
Many users are finding that Keys Off has become an indispensable tool in
their day-to-day tasks: salespeople who want to prevent tampering with
their demonstration Macs, people who want to ensure their Mac is safe
while away from their desk at work, teachers who need a Macintosh to
remain active without students being able to modify it, parents who want
to their Mac child-proofed, and many others.
Keys Off is shareware and is also available from Blue Globe Software's
web site at: <http://www.blueglobe.com/~cliffmcc/MacSoftware.html>.
System 7 is required.

KQ AESend 1.0 is an extension for KeyQuencer, the powerful macro utility
written by Alessandro Levi Montalcini, that gives KeyQuencer macros the
ability to send Apple events to any process running on your machine. KQ
AESend lets advanced scripters and power users access the raw power of
Apple events from KeyQuencer, without the overhead involved by a
scripting system.
KQ AESend requires version 2.0 or newer of KeyQuencer or KeyQuencer Lite
and comes with 48 ready-to-use sample macros based entirely on this
extension and full C++ source code.
KQ AESend 1.0 is distributed as freeware and can be freely included in
shareware collections.

Log Watcher is a useful utility for everyone running a Macintosh Server.
Log Watcher shows the logs generated by your server displaying them
continuously and updating them on the last version saved without manual

Log Watcher, using a common text processor, you should re-open the file
every time the server appends new info. Furthermore Log Watcher can read
and show only the last desired portion of logs, doing a very fast work.
It can automatically scroll the window to the bottom and can use desired
font/size to show logs. Logs are always opened as read-only without
interfering with server read-write operations. Log Watcher uses Apple
Guide Technology to provide help to users. Available both for 68K Mac

ValueFax is the first shareware fax program for the Macintosh. This is a
commercial quality, full function product with QuickFax, fax driver,
full reception and conversion of the fax in background, installer, and
an online manual. Versions of this product have been shipping
commercially under different names for several years. The basic product
has been thoroughly tested in a variety of Mac configurations using a
variety of Class 1 and Class 2 modems (this product will not work with
Apple's express modems or with Apple's Geoport modems).
Why would you want to use this product?
* you bought an external fax modem for your PC but you would also like
to use it with your Mac. * you bought an external fax modem for the Mac
but the software that came with it is too "lite" for your work. The
bundled software may not even work in your configuration. * you are not
happy with your current fax software because it is old and does not have
all the features of ValueFax. What's more, your current software looks
like it has been ported from its PC (ugh!) version. * Your company owns
several Macs and you are looking for a site license instead of buying
individual copies for everyone.
Support is available via email to valuefax@netcom.com We want this
product to work in your configuration and we will do our best to make it
work.
