[MD1] Creative's Side on Goo
From: "Rick Myllenbeck" (RickM@creaf.com) Subject: Re: Creative Labs Forces Goo to Close As you know, there has been a great deal of discussion in the last couple of days claiming that Creative Labs forced Goo Software out of business by filing a trademark action against it. This is untrue. Creative has filed no lawsuit against Goo. Creative has taken no steps that could conceivably have forced Goo out of business. Goo's claims to the contrary on its Website are false. All Creative has done to date with respect to Goo is to send correspondence to Goo's management objecting to Goo's use of the terms "Spam Blaster" and "Cache Blaster." Such correspondence is routine and in good faith. Creative owns a family of trademarks (thirty two registered in the U.S. alone) containing the word "Blaster." Our concern is that Goo is using the goodwill associated with our family of marks. In addition we are concerned that Goo is creating potential consumer confusion and, independently, diluting the...

[MD1] Configuration Changer Scripts
Software by Tim Kelly and Friends (www.madison-web.com/tkelly) Announces Configuration Changer Scripts (CC Scripts) CC Scripts is a Scripting Addition/OSAX that enables changing the active configuration for all four Open Transport control panels from an AppleScript. CC Scripts works on both 68k and PowerMac architectures. CC Scripts also accepts remote events, so the active configuration can be retrieved and set on both local and remote Macs. Notable is the ease of use of CC Scripts. All it takes is one line of AppleScript (for example, set configuration of AppleTalk/TCPIP/OTPPP/Modem to "name of configuration"), and you've changed the active configuration. Additionally, with the "Get" feature of CC Scripts, returning the current configuration name, or if the keyword "with listing all" is used, returning all the user's configurations, for that control panel is a snap. As it can be used remotely, a system administrator can (with Program Linking enabled) tell at a glance which...

[MD1] Frontier 5.0/Mac Alpha Release
Frontier 5: Public release of Frontier 5.0/Mac Frontier 5 is a now a cross-platform product! On Saturday we released the first public alpha of Frontier, version 5.0a22 for Windows, and today, 12/10/97, we have released the Mac version of the same software. Why the delay? There are a core set of features gathered around website building and system management that work exactly the same on both Mac and Windows. Our first goal in getting this release out was to get that core set working properly on both operating systems. The core functionality, at this time, pretty much defines the Windows product. There are almost no features that are in the Windows software that aren't also in the Mac software. Over time this will change as we support all the scripting culture on Windows, but for right now Frontier/Win is mostly the cross-platform subset. After we do a Windows release, the Mac-specific bits have to be imported into the new root and tested. The first time we did this it took four days....

[MD1] Latitude Link Test Library
From: MWRon@metrowerks.com (MW Ron) For those CodeWarriors out there who are planning on developing for Rhapsody, you can now test CodeWarrior Latitude's Mac Toolbox coverage against your own applications without purchasing Latitude. You can now "try-before-you-buy" by downloading the Latitude Link Test Library from the Metrowerks web site: (http://www.metrowerks.com/desktop/latitude/) By replacing the Mac OS InterfaceLib in your CodeWarrior Project with the Latitude Link Test Library and performing a link (Make) operation in the CodeWarrior IDE, you can see if there are any Mac OS Toolbox calls that your application is using that are not yet implemented in Latitude. This is helpful to developers that are planning to port their applications to Rhapsody or any other Latitude supported platform. Potential buyers must have CodeWarrior Professional to perform this test. CodeWarrior Latitude consists of a set of libraries that performs the functions of the Macintosh API on Rhapsody and...
