This application is NOT a CommuniGate communication module. The application allows FirstClass users to access all messaging features of the CommuniGate System: LAN E-mail, Internet E-mail with MIME support (UUCP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP), Faxing, Paging, File and Print services, Mailing List services, etc. The application can provide services to several FirstClass systems connected with each other, while only one FirstClass system communicates with the CommuniGate Server via the CommuniGate FC-gateway. The CommuniGate FC-gateway application should run on the same computer as the CommuniGate Server. The latest version of the CommuniGate FC-gateway can be downloaded from: or To be notified about updates, send any message to Revision History 1.4 27-Jul-97 *=EBThe RFC Headers option is improved. 1.3 17-Jul-97 *=EB"Reverse Routing" is implemented. *=EBMessages submitted to the CommuniGate Server are now marked as sent by "Client Hosts" or "Own Users" to avoid conflicts with the anti-spam methods.

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, UUCP, SMTP, IMAP, 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 and SMTP 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 module is installed, the CommuniGate Server can be used with any IMAP-based mail client, on ANY platform. Before you install or upgrade: * If you use OpenTransport, please make sure that the OT 1.1.1 or better is installed! * If you use MacPPP, please switch to FreePPP. *=EBIf you use FreePPP, please make sure you use the latest version availabl= e. *=EBIf you use the VICOM gateway, please make sure you use the latest versio= n available.

You can use semesters, trimesters, quarters, or six-week terms. You can group assignments into 10 categories. You can compute grades using total points or category weights. You can excuse any assignment for any student, or drop the worst score in any category. Your final exams can contribute to the term, semester, or final grade. Gradekeeper is also very easy to use. With the default categories and options, you can start entering students, assignments, and scores right away. To change student names, assignments, or scores, simply click and type the new information. An extensive user's guide is included. I wrote Gradekeeper because I was unable to find an inexpensive grading program with the features I needed which was also easy to use. I hope Gradekeeper is able to fill that void for you as well. Gradekeeper is distributed as shareware. It is not free. You may try this program for 30 days without obligation. If decide to continue using it, you are expected to pay the registration fee. The registration fee is $20 for an individual license and $100 for a site license. You may distribute your unregistered copy of Gradekeeper to anyone. You may include it on a CD-ROM or upload it onto a BBS or other online service. If you give Gradekeeper to someone else, you must include all the files in the Gradekeeper folder. You may not modify the program in any way. Version 4.7 includes the following improvements: - You can now enter letter grade cutoffs and final exam weights to tenths of a percent. All grading computations are now done to tenths as well. This should result in more precise grade computation. It also allows more exact final exam weighting (when you want a fraction like 1/7, you can enter 14.3% instead of 14%). - You can now drop a student from your class by dragging that student so that at least one blank row separates them from the rest of the class. Dropped students will still appear in the gradebook grid, but grades will not be computed, and they will not be included in any reports. - When you leave all of your letter grade cutoffs blank, grades will now be displayed as percents only. Previously, everyone earned a grade of F. - You can now import assignments, categories, points possible, and student scores using the Import command.

Good grammar can make a big difference for writing effective sentences. With well-formed sentences you're a long way to becoming an excellent writer or communicator. Use MacGrammarTutor to learn good grammar for the first time, or use it to build on what you already know. The program is easy enough for younger users and comprehensive enough for older users. The strategy of MacGrammarTutor is: 1) learn about a small point; 2) test to see if you've got the point; 3) try out what you've learned in a sentence. As you move from point to point you gradually learn a great deal-almost without realizing it. The program explains what job each thing in a sentence does. MacGrammarTutor is easy to operate. It uses attractive screens. It has several "just-for-fun" features. If you want, it lets you see immediate feedback on how well you're doing. You can go through the whole program in order, or you can work on whatever parts of it you desire. The main window has a "help" button that explains the program. You can also find each topic by using the on-screen index. W.

Sometimes it is hard to find the point where we were watching, especially near the end of the document. With Pretty Scroll, it is easier.

This saves energy and reduces noise levels in your work area without forcing you to shut down your Mac. Sleeper can also password-protect the screen and shut down your Mac if it has been idle for too long. Because Sleeper does not rely on Apple's Power Manager, Sleeper will work on any Macintosh running System 7.0 or later, and does not suffer from some of the quirky behavior reported with Apple's Energy Saver 2.0. Sleeper is well suited for unattended operations as well as personal desktop use. For file servers, ftp and http hosts, and fax and BBS systems, Sleeper will wake the drives up when they are needed and put them to sleep when they are idle. Sleeper is easily configurable; it provides hotkey control for on-demand activation of its sleep features, and separate delay settings for screen dimming, monitor power down, shutdown, disk sleep, and password activation Sleeper will work on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, including Mac OS 8, and will spin down both IDE and SCSI hard drives. The screen saver feature requires a color-capable Macintosh, and Energy Star monitor support requires an Energy Star compliant Macintosh (any Mac on which Apple's Energy Saver control panel works) and an Energy Star capable monitor. Sleeper supports SCSI Manager 4.3 in native mode on all machines and requires only 40K of memory when operating.

I picked up a copy of Pfhorte and M.I.A. There were guides written that explained how to make polygons, platforms, lights, etc., but nothing about what makes a map fun. The situation is analogous to trying to make a cake knowing the ingredients, but not the quantities. After years of studying others' maps and designing my own, I have arrived at guidelines for map-making. What makes a map "good" or "fun?" Opinions vary, but there are certain constants involved such as physics, monsters, textures, etc., when designing maps. Taking these into account while following the guidelines will tend to increase the fun factor of your maps. However, the guidelines are not formulas in which you enter values for X and Y and always equal good map. No, these are guidelines to follow or not to follow, if they do not coincide with what you are trying to accomplish with a particular map. Understand the guidelines and ignore them if you need to, but not out of ignorance. While this piece is focused on Marathon map-making, nearly all of it is applicable to other games in the genre like Dark Forces, Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3d, et al.
