Subject: These TidBITS go to eleven

Hey folks,

In these days of dot.coms dropping like the proverbial flies, I thought you
might appreciate a spot of good news and longevity. This week’s issue of
TidBITS (#576) marks our 11th anniversary of continuous Internet
publication, cementing our status as one of the oldest solely electronic
publications on the Internet.

To commemorate the event, I’ve gone back and re-read all the TidBITS issues
from our second year of publication – April of 1991 to April of 1992.

REALbasic: plans for future releases

I wanted to take a moment to let all of you know what we are planning in
terms of our release schedule for future releases of REALbasic.

As you all know we released REALbasic 3.0 on February 12th of this year. One
of the big features of REALbasic 3.0 is support for Mac OS X. Specifically,
REALbasic 3.0 was designed to support Mac OS X Public Beta.

New OTTool Version 1.2

OTTool now has support for Mac OS X, in addition to Classic Mac OS!

OTTool is a free utility which provides a synopsis of the IP and
AppleTalk configuration parameters within Apple Computer’s Open
Transport networking architecture. In addition, OTTool allows users
on IP networks to make Domain Name Server (DNS) queries, ping devices
using ICMP Pings, trace IP routes (UNIX traceroute), scan through
ranges of IP addresses asking for resolutions, and to query a DNS for
Mail Exchange and System Info.
