"MailURL" offers a quick and easy way to tell a friend (or enemy ;)) about the page you're currently watching in your web browser (works with iCab, Internet Explorer, or Netscape's Navigator/Communicator). It creates a new message in Eudora or Claris Emailer, placing the title of the page in the "Subject: " header, and the URL of it in the body. All you need to do then is fill in the "To: " header and queue it. What's new: - Added routine to handle multiple mail clients. - Added support for Claris Emailer System Requirements: - AppleScript - OSA Menu and/or FinderPop and/or OtherMenu - Eudora or Claris Emailer - iCab and/or Internet Explorer and/or Navigator/Communicator - Works under Mac OS 7.0 through 9.x Legalese: MailURL is freeware. Do with it whatever you like, except sell it or present it as yours!

I am trying to track down the latest driver software for a G3 accelerator card made by Vimage. Some time ago, the Vpower line of cards stopped being supported, and the company apparently disappeared. There is a rumor that the cards will function under OS9, but not with the version 1.0.1 drivers that I have. If anyone has a later version of the Vpower drivers, I would *really* like to hear from them! TIA. -RAG -- +-------------------- R i c h a r d G l o v e r --------------------+ mailto:rglover@lunarpoodle.com http://www.lunarpoodle.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 20:35:48 -0600 From: "Gib Henry" To: "'Michael S.

Silverstein" >To: Info-mac >Subject: Disk Warrier, Norton, Tech Tool...? > >What products are recommended these days for Disk repair, salvage, >maintenance, optimization. I have a G4 running 9.0.1. I have given up Norton in favor of Disk Warrior exclusively, as a result of its recovering a disk from a Norton vs. FWB Hard Disk Toolkit problem in 8.1 which Apple announced as fatal (not recoverable) to hard disks. If a problem persists after Disk Warrior, then I suggest verifying the System file (not folder) with ResEdit and if it proclaims it damaged, replace just the System file. (I've never had the problem before, but recently had to do this twice with 9.0.4.) That will fix virtually any problem, in my experience, and I have no connection with ALSoft (publisher of Disk Warrior) except as a satisfied (and thankful) customer.

So forgive me >if this was recently covered (is there an article archive somewhere, as >opposed to the program archive, I've forgotten, if I ever knew:-). > >My questions are (having just purchased a G4 2x500MHz with 22Ÿ Cinema >Display and a DVD RAM): >1.

Any software that will enable me to write a 'video' style DVD, ie one >that will play as as Film, in a standard basic DVD player? DVD-RAM is not the same as DVD-R. Had you waited 2 months to buy a new Mac, you could have gotten the new 733Mhz G4, which comes with a DVD-R "Superdrive" and iDVD software (total cost...about $3500), which will encode the video and create a nice front end to any movies or pictures that you happen to have or make. The only limitation that I know of is that iDVD has a limit of 1-hour video time per DVD, I believe intended so that you can't go down to Blockbuster & clone their whole inventory. Apple sells DVDR media for $10 each. Apple also has a DVD Studio Pro which is a higher-end DVD authoring package without the 1-hour limit...it sells for just under a grand.
