TidBITS#242/05-Sep-94
=====================

This TidBITS issue roams far and wide, with MailBITS about Green
   Disk, a company that creates recycled floppy disks, a
   CodeWarrior Web site, comments about Timbuktu, and other
   announcements. The issue continues with a report about a
   QuickMail client for the Newton called EnRoute, a look at
   several software packages that teach and translate between
   languages, a look at a pair of security programs for public
   Macs, and a review of RedShift, a CD for astronomy enthusiasts.

MailBITS/05-Sep-94
------------------

**Tom Abbott** <[e-mail]> and **Glenn Tiffert**
  <[e-mail]> tell us that the current versions of
  the Japanese and Chinese Language Kits don't work with System 7.5,
  and that users of those script systems will reportedly have to
  wait for version 1.1.1, due out at the end of the year. However,
  Glenn claimed that the conflict may only lie with QuickDraw GX, so
  if you don't use QuickDraw GX, the Japanese and Chinese Language
  Kits may still work. In contrast, Tom's source implied that even
  trying to load the Japanese Language Kit could cause troubles. Be
  forewarned. [ACE]


**GreenDisk** -- Kudos to GreenDisk, a company that recycles
  obsolete floppy disks and manuals to make fresh floppy disks,
  which Craig O'Donnell <[e-mail]> recently brought to
  our attention. Craig writes, "These recycled diskettes come from
  big-league software publishers who need to ditch last year's
  upgrade package or unsold inventory. The diskettes themselves -
  some 12 million last year - adhere to the high quality standards
  of major software publishers like Aldus and WordPerfect. The
  GreenDisk company claims that 98.9% of all materials it receives
  from publishers (including those hefty manuals and that slick
  packaging) is recycled. The diskettes are erased, relabeled with
  recycled-paper labels, and resold under the brand name GreenDisk.
  Egghead Software sells GreenDisks by catalog and vouches for their
  quality." GreenDisk -- 206/489-2550 [TJE]

  I just wanted to add one point to your otherwise excellent article
  on Timbuktu Pro. You mentioned in passing that the Pro version
  works with ARA, but did not go into details. Other than TCP/IP
  support, this is one of my favorite new features. If you connect
  to a remote network via ARA and then save a connection document
  (an exchange files connection for example), the next time you use
  that connection document, Timbuktu Pro will bring up the ARA
  connection automatically for you (if it's not already there). When
  you quit Timbuktu, it asks if you want to disconnect from ARA or
  remain connected. I use this to connect to my office machine all
  the time and it works well.


**Chris Meyer** <[e-mail]> writes:
  The recent in-depth review of Timbuktu in the recent TidBITS was
  much appreciated. Here is another angle on Timbuktu. Pacific Bell
  has been pushing ISDN for telecommuting. Aside from linking
  together networks, some use Timbuktu to screen-share, which I
  think is a fabulous way to work remotely with an art director (or
  client). We do desktop video and motion graphics, and the idea of
  interactively checking off a design (and being able to make
  modifications in real time) without the designer being at your
  physical location is very attractive. It's inefficient to render a
  trial animation, make a rough tape, overnight or messenger it to
  them, and get back comments a day or two later over the phone
  "this color should be richer, and the type larger" when you could
  have checked some details beforehand.


CE Adds to Newton Mailbox
-------------------------
  by Mark H. Anbinder, News Editor <[e-mail]>
     Director of Technical Services, Baka Industries Inc.

  CE Software added more communications capability to Newton
  MessagePads with its recent introduction of EnRoute, a $129
  QuickMail client developed by Netstrategy Software. EnRoute
  connects to QuickMail servers via modem, and permits both batch
  transfer of waiting messages and online one-at-a-time message
  reading and sending. According to a CE representative, the
  software evolved from the "QuickAccess" prototype shown at
  Macworld Expo last year (see TidBITS-188_).

  EnRoute is integrated with the Newton Names and Note Pad
  applications. Users may store QuickMail user addresses (including
  addresses that must be reached through gateways) in the MessagePad
  Names file's email address field, and can mail a message written
  on a Note Pad note rather than in a special EnRoute window.
  FirstClass Retriever, the Newton client for SoftArc's FirstClass
  software developed by Black Labs (see TidBITS-234_), can do
  neither in its current incarnation.

  Although EnRoute seems to fit in well with the Newton environment,
  it comes up wanting in the QuickMail environment. The software
  works only via a modem connection, so users cannot check their
  QuickMail mailboxes while in the office using a LocalTalk network.
  (The same is true of the current version of FirstClass Retriever.)

  CE president and CEO Ford Goodman commented that "EnRoute is
  another way that we're ensuring that users have universal access
  to their QuickMail mailboxes." CE's pride in its multi-platform
  support would be better warranted if its mail access were
  universal. Currently, Windows users are segregated from Macintosh
  users in "file-based" mailcenters accessible using common DOS and
  Windows communications methods such as Novell's Netware software.
  CE has no support for AppleTalk or other direct network
  communications between its Macintosh-based servers and Windows
  clients. As a result, Mac users can't check their mail using
  computers running Windows, and Windows users can't check their
  mail using Macs.

  With the addition of EnRoute, Netstrategy Software now has
  developed three products that CE publishes. The first two products
  are the ARA-Link QM and QM-Postman, which provide automatic
  network access and mail list management, respectively.

Sprechen Sie Macintosh?
-----------------------
  by Mike McLane <[e-mail]>

  One ray of sunshine at the recent Boston Macworld Expo was the
  foreign language software. Foreign language software has two major
  categories - instructional and translation. I found an excellent
  example in each category.


**Instructional Software** -- In the instructional area, HyperGlot
  Software sells a CD offering a beautiful multimedia implementation
  of an excellent curriculum. The Spanish course, Learn to Speak
  Spanish, version 4.0, (which I now own) is exceptional! Besides a
  CD, the course contains a user manual and a textbook/workbook. The
  CD has an excellent screen layout, which makes operating the
  program a joy. Along with the usual written vocabulary list, you
  can hear each word pronounced by a native speaker. You can also
  click on individual sentences to hear them spoken. QuickTime
  movies use a sound track spoken by native speakers and tell a
  story that ties together the vocabulary and grammar lessons. The
  instructional drills also use the story content. Instant
  translations of words and phrases in the instruction sequence are
  just a click away.

  A number of the drills involve dragging words into their proper
  place with instant feedback regarding right and wrong choices.
  Properly match a feminine singular article with a similar noun and
  a cheerful "bueno" (or other appropriate phrase) issues forth from
  your Mac. Make a mistake and you might hear "lo siento" (I'm
  sorry) in a sad voice. There are fill-in-the-blank drills as well
  as arrange-words-to-make-a-sentence drills. In each case a native
  speaker immediately tells you if you are right or wrong. During
  vocabulary drills, the program keeps track of errors and presents
  that list on completion of the drill, if you desire.

  If your Mac has a microphone, there is another useful feature. You
  can click on a sentence, hear the native speaker say it, then you
  say it, and the Mac records your response. Then the program plays
  back both the native speaker and your response so you can
  instantly compare your pronunciation.

  HyperGlot advertises the complete course as being for beginner and
  intermediate levels of study. As a moderately experienced Spanish
  speaker, I found the course very valuable. The combination of an
  excellent curriculum and a well-designed interface makes this
  program a winner!

  HyperGlot offers a series of other language learning aids ranging
  from pronunciation tutors to drills in Katakana and Hiragana
  syllabaries and Chinese writing. All products have a thirty day
  unconditional 100 percent satisfaction guarantee if purchased from
  HyperGlot. List prices range from $99 to $149 for the CD-based
  offerings. Languages include Spanish and French (for English
  speakers). You can also purchase courses that teach English to
  native speakers of Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, and
  Portuguese.


**Translation** -- In the translating arena, I was extremely
  impressed by the capabilities of Power Translator by GlobaLink
  (suggested retail price $249). Power Translator can take an
  English sentence like "He tried to light the light with a light
  blue lighter" and correctly translate it into Spanish! It also
  correctly translated a Spanish sentence that said "The lady who
  CAME here CAME to buy old WINE" into English - although every
  upper case word above is "VINO" in the Spanish sentence. The
  documentation is bilingual. Translations can be done iteratively
  (sentence-by-sentence) in an automatic batch mode.

  During the demonstration, I typed text into one window in English,
  specially tagged words or proper names I didn't want translated,
  and then told the program to translate. Within moments the
  translation appeared in an adjacent window. The reverse process
  from Spanish to English was just as simple. Based on the amount of
  time required to display the translated text, it seems that the
  program does something more than a simple word lookup between
  languages. That is, rather than doing a simple dictionary
  translation, Power Translator appears to identify where in a
  sentence a word appears and to then select an appropriate
  translation. Not having a copy of Power Translator program to work
  with, I cannot attest to its capability to handle other
  ambiguities.

  The Power Translator Professional version (suggested retail price
  $595), comes with one of a number of subject dictionaries
  (Automotive, Business/Finance, Banking, Brewing, Computer, Legal,
  and so on), although you can purchase additional subject
  dictionaries as needed. The subject dictionaries available vary
  according to language (French, German, Spanish and Russian)., and
  you can customize these dictionaries to further facilitate your
  translations.

  The GlobaLink programs require a Mac II series or higher, 68020 or
  higher, System 7.0 or later, 2 MB RAM (4 MB recommended) and 15-36
  MB of hard disk space. In automatic mode, the professional version
  can translate over 20,000 words per hour. Purchases made directly
  from GlobaLink have a thirty day money back guarantee. Mail order
  or discount store prices may be less, but check their return
  policy.

  In addition to the Mac versions, GlobaLink has offerings for DOS,
  Windows, OS/2 and Unix. The MS-DOS Power Translator was reviewed
  in the January, 1994 publication "Computing NOW!" GlobaLink's
  literature also discusses a palm-sized computer that runs on two
  AAA batteries and performs bidirectional translations in
  Spanish/English or French/English.

  Finally, GlobaLink offers programs under the name "VoicePower"
  which provide interactive training in pronunciation of foreign
  languages (including a comparison of "voice prints" of a native
  speaker and the student). Their literature on this product
  indicates it is currently available only for IBM type machines. (I
  figured this out when their requirements mentioned specs such as a
  386DX25). I don't know if Mac versions are in the works. Given the
  capabilities of the HyperGlot offerings, and their excellent
  curriculum discussed earlier, I think this particular market would
  be an uphill battle for GlobaLink.

The Public Mac - MacPrefect and DiskPrefect
-------------------------------------------
  by Ian Lauwerys <[e-mail]>

  Have you ever maintained a Macintosh shared by multiple users? Or
  shared your own Mac with coworkers or family members? If so, you
  may have faced the nightmare of randomly trashed applications,
  misplaced documents, and changed settings. If you shop around,
  you'll find many utilities that decrease the chaos involved in
  sharing a Mac, and this article discusses one possible solution -
  a program from Hi Resolution, called MacPrefect, and its companion
  program, DiskPrefect. MacPrefect enables you to prevent other
  "experts" from interfering with the Macintosh environment that you
  so carefully set up.


**Locking Out the Unwashed Masses** -- You may like the people who
  use your Mac, but that doesn't mean you want them poking around in
  places where they don't belong. As an extreme measure, you can
  lock the hard disk, so that others cannot move, rename, or save
  files on the hard disk. If you don't want to lock the entire disk,
  you can lock individual folders (locking a folder locks all the
  folders inside it). If a user tries to save to a locked folder, he
  gets a message informing him that he can't save to the locked
  location. You can customize the message so it directs the user to
  an appropriate location.

  Fortunately, programs can get into the System Folder, even if
  users can't. According to the MacPrefect folks, "MacPrefect allows
  applications to create and maintain their own preference files or
  temporary files as required. This ensures that locking the System
  folder in its entirety is possible with no resulting interference
  to the normal action of applications."

  If you choose to allow users to save on the hard disk, you can
  "sweep" the disk clean of files at startup. Any files older than a
  certain number of days can be removed - either all such files, or
  until a specified amount of disk space frees up. This feature
  would be especially useful for a public Macintosh where you don't
  want users' files cluttering the hard disk.

  If you do maintain a public Macintosh, you may be particularly
  concerned about piracy - you don't want pirated software on the
  public Mac, and you don't want users making unauthorized copies of
  programs from the Mac. A feature called Copy Control meets these
  concerns by preventing users from copying certain file types to or
  from the hard disk.

  As an additional anti-piracy measure (or as an additional control
  mechanism) launch keys enable you to you control which programs
  can run on the Mac. An application can be prevented from running
  unless it has a launch key file in its folder. The launch key
  feature doesn't care what disk the program is on, so it prevents
  users from launching software stored on floppy disks (though you
  can set it to allow launches from CD-ROMs). You can also configure
  MacPrefect to only allow software to launch if the software is
  stored on the startup volume.

  MacPrefect has a number of other features that prevent users from
  completing all manner of actions, such as filling up the hard disk
  by repeatedly taking screen shots, changing control panel
  settings, and changing the name of the hard disk.


**Bypassing the Security System** -- "This all sounds wonderful,"
  you may be thinking, "but I bet any savvy user can weasel around
  MacPrefect by booting with the Shift key down or booting from a
  floppy disk." Hi Resolution thought of that and added additional
  security features. MacPrefect allows you to disable the Shift
  key's startup function, and DiskPrefect takes security a step
  further by preventing users from booting from floppy disks.
  DiskPrefect comes as a separate, companion product to MacPrefect,
  although you get both together if you purchase the software in the
  U.K. or Australia.

  To disable DiskPrefect, you must use a copy of MacPrefect with the
  correct serial number. This means your machine is safe even if a
  user obtains another copy of MacPrefect. DiskPrefect only works
  with Apple formatted disks, but won't damage other hard disks if
  you attempt to install it on them.

  DiskPrefect comes with a Lockpick application, which you can use
  to unlock the disk in an emergency. To use Lockpick, you must have
  a random authorization code, and you must get the code from Hi
  Resolution each time you need to use Lockpick.


**Conclusion** -- I found MacPrefect to be reliable in operation
  and straightforward to use. With the addition of DiskPrefect, your
  beloved Mac can be protected against assault by all but the most
  expert of hackers.

  Pricing varies for corporate and educational customers, depending
  on the number of copies purchased.

Reach for the Stars with RedShift
---------------------------------
  by Richard C.S. Kinne <[e-mail]>

  As I begin this article, I'm imagining that I'm on a satellite of
  Mars called Phobos, and I'm watching Mars, which looks like an
  enormous crescent, eight times the size of the Big Dipper as seen
  from Earth. Such imaginary wanderings can now take place from
  within my home, with the help of a wonderful CD-ROM planetarium
  simulator called RedShift (about $60 street price), created by
  Maris Multimedia in the U.K. and published in North America by
  Maxis Software.

  RedShift offers all the features of a normal planetarium
  simulator. Its stellar database includes stars as faint as the
  12th magnitude, giving you around 250,000 stars to explore. Should
  you tire of stars, you can also explore some 5,000 asteroids, 100
  short-period comets, and 40,000 deep sky objects (such as nebulae,
  star clusters, and galaxies). Using RedShift, you can place
  yourself anywhere on Earth at any time or in any era, and view the
  sky as it was (or will be) then and there. The program also takes
  precession into account; that's the extremely slow wobble of our
  planet's axis over the millennia.

  With the possible exception of the enormous database of stellar
  objects, you might expect such features from any real life
  planetarium in any major city. RedShift takes another exciting
  step: it gives you the ability to observe the night sky anyplace
  in the solar system within 100 AUs (Astronomical Units, or 93
  million miles) of the Sun. Not only can it put you on the equator
  of any of the planets or several of their moons, it can also put
  you at any point in space within the solar system. You can watch
  the universe revolve in real or accelerated time, and take
  advantage of this unique opportunity to watch a planet as it
  sweeps by you in its orbit. As a bonus, the CD-ROM includes
  detailed maps of the Earth, Moon, and Mars, giving you the ability
  to view the sky from the same perspective as Viking 2 on Mars or
  Tranquility Base on the Moon, for example.

  The program also allows you to record your own still images or
  QuickTime movies. Take a picture of the sky on your birthday to
  show friends, or record a QuickTime movie of Venus transiting the
  Sun to enhance your classroom astronomy lesson.

  While other planetarium simulators allow you to view conjunctions
  and eclipses you already know about, RedShift allows you to
  calculate when the next ones will appear. Was the Star of
  Bethlehem really a conjunction of several planets in the night sky
  of the Middle East? Set it up and you can decide for yourself.

  RedShift also acts as a multimedia astronomical encyclopedia. The
  CD contains the full text of the revised and updated Penguin
  Dictionary of Astronomy by Dr. Jacqueline Mitton. This text has
  been enhanced by hypertextual links, additional illustrations, and
  animation. The dictionary interface enables you to browse around
  via both the contents and an index.  You can also access it by
  simply clicking on the object the screen that you want to find out
  more about. A dialog box will appear and give you access to the
  dictionary among other reports.

  Finally, Maris Software has marketed this product in a format that
  I look forward to seeing from other companies: the Windows,
  Macintosh, and Power Macintosh versions of the program are all
  included on the same CD-ROM, thus eliminating any confusion about
  what platform the CD-ROM will run on when you buy it and offering
  the maximum flexibility in deciding where to run the program. In
  doing this, Maris has given its customers a truly "plug and play"
  solution and I commend them for it.

  No program is perfect, and as wonderful as RedShift is, there is
  room for improvement. The software's handling of time, an
  important concept in astronomy, could be better. The program reads
  the system's clock and map control panel to determine your
  location and time zone. This causes problems during the summer
  when most people switch to Daylight Savings Time; to get around
  the problem you must manually modify the difference in the number
  of hours between your time zone and Greenwich Meridian Time. Also,
  when you place yourself on the surface of other planets and moons
  the program mandates that only Greenwich Meridian Time has
  meaning. Unfortunately it then insists that your computer's system
  clock shows Greenwich Meridian Time which, unless you live in
  England, is not the case. I've worked around this difficulty by
  using the shareware World Time Control Panel to temporarily change
  my system's clock to Greenwich Meridian Time when I need to.

  Since starting to review CD-ROMs I've found that their quality
  varies quite a bit. Some have not been worth the plastic expended
  to print them, while others embody the reason CD-ROM technology
  has taken the industry by storm. RedShift falls into the latter
  category. It shines like Venus in the early evening sky. This is
  one CD that justifies your CD-ROM drive in the first place!
  Although its handling of time is a blemish in an otherwise
  outstanding product, it can be worked around. If you have any
  interest in astronomy, RedShift would make a fine addition to your
  CD-ROM collection.
