**ftp.tidbits.com Down** -- For various reasons, the machine that
  runs <ftp.tidbits.com> died yesterday. Northwest Nexus is working
  on getting a new machine up in its place, but they currently
  estimate a 10 to 12 day downtime.

  The upshot of this is that none of the Anarchie bookmarks that
  ship with my book, The Internet Starter Kit will work, since they
  point at a directory on that machine. Nor will you be able to
  retrieve TidBITS or any files from the Info-Mac mirror part of
  <ftp.tidbits.com> until the machine comes back up.

  I'll post another note when the machine is back and functional
  again. In the meantime, I recommend that you look at AOL's Info-
  Mac mirror for Internet files and issues of TidBITS in: [ACE]

**Encryption Lawsuit Filed** -- In late February, U.C. Berkeley
  graduate student Daniel Bernstein, with the support of the
  Electronic Frontier Foundation, filed suit against the U.S. State
  Department over the publication of an encryption program called
  "Snuffle." As has been illustrated with the recent legal history
  of the PGP algorithm and the Clipper chip, the State Department
  currently classifies encryption software as a munition subject to
  tight export restrictions; however, Bernstein feels the government
  is violating his First Amendment rights by preventing him from
  publishing his work.

  Computer privacy experts are taking the position that this suit
  could help define major issues surrounding encryption and privacy
  issues in the computer industry. The Federal government holds that
  allowing unregulated access to cryptography benefits terrorists,
  drug traffickers, and other criminals, effectively granting
  immunity to whole segments of criminal activity. Privacy advocates
  counter that the right to privacy outweighs law enforcement needs
  and that limits to the range of law enforcement have always been
  fundamental to U.S. law. "It would be much easier to crack down on
  drug dealers or terrorists if we allowed torture, or if we
  prohibited a jury trial," said John Gilmore, a board member of the
  EFF. You can check out the EFF's information in EFFector Online,
  or at the EFF Web site. [GD]

**Nisus and QuicKeys Lists Move** -- Fred Terry <[e-mail]>
  points out that the Nisus and QuicKeys mailing lists are now
  automated by a LISTSERV program at Dartmouth. List members should
  have been automatically transferred, but in case you got lost in
  the move or in case you'd like to subscribe, you can get on either
  list by sending email to <[e-mail]>. In the
  body of your message, type one or both of the following commands:

    sub nisus Polly Penguin
    sub quickeys Polly Penguin

  Of course, be sure to type your full name in place of Polly
  Penguin. [TJE]


**QuarkXPosure Announced** -- Brent Bossom <[e-mail]>
  wrote to let us know about the announcement of QuarkXPosure at
  Macworld Tokyo last month. Jointly developed by Quark and JVC
  (with the core technology originally developed under Unix by JVC),
  QuarkXPosure is an image-editing application that uses
  object-oriented databases to track editing operations. The idea
  is similar to styles in word processing, where styles can be
  applied, removed, saved, exported, etc., without changing the
  text. QuarkXPosure will enable users to add and remove operations
  performed on an image without changing the image itself, as well
  as separately save and store sets of operations so they can be
  repeatedly performed or shared with other users. QuarkXPosure is
  supposed to be very fast because it doesn't alter the image
  directly until changes are saved and because it runs exclusively
  on Power Macs. It has a number of unique features, plus
  compatibility with third-party plug-ins (such as Kai's Power
  Tools) and smooth integration with QuarkXPress. English and
  Japanese versions of QuarkXPosure should in late 1995, with
  world-wide pricing the same as that for QuarkXPress. [GD]


Info-Mac WAIS Databases are Back!
---------------------------------
  by Geoff Duncan <[e-mail]>

  The WAIS-using Macintosh community owes a tremendous debt of
  gratitude to Harry Mangalam <[e-mail]> for recreating the
  Info-Mac WAIS databases that disappeared when Thinking Machines
  took down their public WAIS server. According to Harry, Thinking
  Machines may yet revive their service, but Harry took it upon
  himself to use some extra disk space and re-index the available
  postings.

  This new incarnation of Info-Mac is in a slightly different form -
  it's split into two databases, one for 1992-1994 and one for 1995
  exclusively:

>    info-mac       Volumes 10-12 (1992-1994 inclusive)
>    info-mac95     Volume 13 (1995)

  Via the World-Wide Web, you can access the new Info-Mac databases
  through this URL:

http://hornet.mmg.uci.edu/~hjm/projects/sgi.wais.html

  Or you can use direct WAIS URLs to get to the databases:

wais://ih34.hsis.uci.edu:210/info-mac?query boolean query ...
wais://ih34.hsis.uci.edu:210/info-mac95?query boolean query ...

  If you use Netscape Navigator to access these databases, you must
  configure a WAIS proxy in your Netscape preferences. You can use
  the same host that the Info-Mac databases live on
  (<ih34.hsis.uci.edu>, port 80), but Harry warns that the proxy
  jump can be slow - as long as minutes - although I've had no
  particular trouble getting through this way. NCSA Mosaic for the
  Mac doesn't support WAIS queries yet, and EINet's MacWeb will try
  to launch MacWAIS, available in Info-Mac mirror sites. You can
  also look into the freeware collection maintained at WAIS, Inc.
  for WAIS clients for other platforms.

ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/info-mac/comm/tcp/mac-wais-129.hqx
ftp://ftp.wais.com/pub/freeware/mac/

  For those looking to make their own Info-Mac sources in a WAIS
  client program (such as MacWAIS), you can use this to construct a
  WAIS "src" file for the databases. Change the field "database-
  name" from "info-mac" to "info-mac95" to access the 1995 articles.

> (:source
>  :version  3
>  :ip-address "128.200.5.34"
>  :ip-name "ih34.hsis.uci.edu"
>  :tcp-port 210
>  :database-name "info-mac"
>  :maintainer "[e-mail]"
>  :description

>   The info-mac digest from [e-mail]"

  Thanks again, Harry - we owe you one!


Revving Your Browsers
---------------------
  by Geoff Duncan <[e-mail]>

  Early last week, new versions of three major Macintosh World-Wide
  Web clients - EINet's MacWeb, NCSA Mosaic, and Netscape Navigator -
  hit the virtual streets with some fanfare. Thought it's worth
  noting that _none_ of these represent the release of a finished
  product, they all incorporate significant new enhancements and
  features, and _all_ are available for both 68K Macs and Power
  Macs.

  In addition, a fourth Web browser has recently appeared on the
  scene, although it hasn't received as much attention - it's part
  of InterCon's powerful but pricey (about $365 mail order)
  TCP/Connect II 2.1, an integrated program that shoehorns clients
  for almost every Internet service into a single program, including
  Finger, Ping, Whois, Telnet, email, news, FTP, Gopher, and of
  course, the Web.


**TCP/Connect II 2.1** -- The TCP/Connect II 2.1 Web browser is
  most notable for its speed and links to other parts of TCP/Connect
  II. It feels like the fastest Web browser I've used, thanks in
  part to the ability to use multiple connections, but otherwise,
  its feature set more or less matches those of the other main Web
  browsers. There are a few missing features, like multiple windows
  and support for WAIS URLs, but it has some nice touches like a
  drag & drop interface for the hot list. Since the Web browser is
  part of TCP/Connect II, it can use the other modules for mail,
  Telnet, Gopher, and FTP links, which often makes more sense than
  the approach taken by other Web browsers, which try to force
  everything through a Web browser. InterCon's Web site has more
  information about TCP/Connect II 2.1 and it also lets you download
  a demo version and apply for a demo key.

**MacWeb 1.00A3.2** -- EINet's MacWeb isn't supposed to be a real
  product yet, with an "official" 1.0 release presumably still in
  the future. However, alpha 3.2 of MacWeb continues to be the
  leanest and meanest of the major Macintosh Web clients, running in
  as little as 750K of RAM. Though a number of the improvements to
  alpha 3.2 are internal technical changes, there are also
  significant improvements to the performance and functionality of
  FTP via MacWeb, plus better handling of  errors and user
  cancellations, recording of window positioning, and faster local
  file dispatching with helper applications. Still missing,
  unhappily, is the ability to copy text directly out of the browser
  windows (still on the to-do list) and some user amenities, but all
  told MacWeb remains a respectable, speedy client with a small
  footprint.

ftp://ftp.einet.net/einet/mac/macweb/


**NCSA Mosaic 2.0 Beta 1** -- In public alpha release since June
  of 1994, the Mac version of NCSA Mosaic 2.0 officially went beta
  last week. New features include support for inline JPEG images,
  support for mailto URLs in HTML documents, plus a controllable
  local disk cache of recently-accessed documents. Mosaic
  implemented support for HTML tables in previous releases, and that
  support seems to have improved in the beta, although Mosaic still
  has problems when extracting tables and other materials from the
  disk cache, along with a few windowing and interface quirks. NCSA
  also indicates performance improvements have been made in this
  release, although Mosaic continues to bring documents in through a
  single HTTP connection, unlike Netscape. Other additions include
  improved printing, better handling of pagination, and numerous bug
  fixes.

**Netscape 1.1b1 **-- Netscape Communications Corporation released
  version 1.1b1 of Netscape Navigator with a fair bit of public
  hype, claiming that their clients account for more than 75 percent
  of WWW traffic.

http://home.netscape.com/
ftp://ftp.mcom.com/netscape1.1b1/mac/netscape-1.1b1.hqx

  Netscape is pushing hard on the idea that they're committed to
  open standards in WWW development. Though Netscape has made some
  significant moves in that direction, several of its implementation
  decisions continue to generate controversy, such as its custom
  HTML tags and the decision to implement SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
  security in the NetScape client and server products.

  Netscape Navigator 1.1b1 implements several new features based on
  the not-yet-etched-in-stone HTML 3.0 proposal, including tables,
  custom document backgrounds, and dynamically-updating documents.
  Dynamically updating document use "push/pull" techniques wherein a
  server or browser can request that information in a document be
  periodically updated, thus making for all sorts of spiffy Web
  implementations - up-to-date stock quotes, animations, real-time
  updates on networked coke machines, and so on. Netscape also
  sports a MacWeb-like pop-up menu that allows users to copy URLs to
  the clipboard, open links in new windows, or directly save image
  files. HTML authors who have the Drag Manager can now save the
  HTML source to disk by dragging a link from a Netscape window out
  to the desktop.

  Netscape Navigator 1.1b1 also has a few general performance
  improvements, enhancements to its newsreader capabilities,
  somewhat-enhanced scripting capabilities, and the ability
  (finally!) to change the background color of your browser window.
  Importantly, it includes support for three major Japanese
  character set schemes: JIS (ISO-2022-JP), SJIS (Shift-JIS) and
  UC-JP (Extended Unix Code for Japanese).

  Netscape Navigator1.1b1 will expire on 01-Apr-95, although
  Netscape promises to keep 1.0N available and other betas may be
  forthcoming. Netscape Navigator 1.1 is slated to officially ship
  sometime in April under the same pricing and terms as the 1.0
  release; purchasers of the 1.0 release may be eligible for free
  upgrades and continuation of their customer support. And, for
  those of you just itching to etch your mark on the product,
  Netscape is holding a "No Throbbing, Pulsing, Breathing N Contest"
  through Sunday, March 19, 1995, to replace the icon animation in
  the upper right-hand corner of their browser window.

http://home.netscape.com/home/contest/index.html


**Getting Their Feet Webbed** -- The three commonly-available Web
  browsers have consistently shown their laundry in public by
  releasing alpha and beta versions of their client software. In
  part this is due to the phenomenal growth of the World-Wide Web in
  the last two years: it's certainly better for them to have pre-
  release browsers out there than nothing at all - if for no other
  reason than to make sure they stay in the game. But two
  interesting things are happening. First, the availability of
  pre-release versions may be considerably extending the development
  cycles of these products. NCSA Mosaic and EINet's MacWeb have each
  been issuing alpha versions since June of 1994, but with final
  versions still off in a deep haze. Only Netscape is adhering to
  what might be called a typical software release cycle, for better
  or for worse. Second, like it or not, these pre-release versions
  increasingly define what we think of as the World-Wide Web.
  Netscape may be the most popular browser out there right now, but
  its HTML extensions and "non-standard" features have set a good
  portion of the WWW community on its ear, which in turn impacts the
  development processes of other Web clients and the processes by
  which HTML and WWW standards are set. Users of the Web might be
  voting with their feet, but do they understand the direction
  they're being asked to march?

  Netscape may be doing everything it can to use and conform to open
  standards, but in its rush to capture a market it may be helping
  to create a de facto standard, the ramifications of which aren't
  entirely clear. And, let's face it folks, DOS is a standard too.


StarNine Focuses on Internet Servers
------------------------------------
  by Mark H. Anbinder, News Editor <[e-mail]>
     Director of Technical Services, Baka Industries Inc.

  StarNine Technologies has stepped into the limelight of Macintosh-
  based Internet server software with its announcement at the
  Mactivity conference this week of plans to market new versions of
  the MacHTTP Web server software as WebSTAR and WebSTAR Pro. These
  WWW server products will join StarNine's email gateway software
  and related products in the Internet-oriented StarNine family.

  The partnership between StarNine and BIAP Systems, founded by
  MacHTTP author Chuck Shotton, will bring improved options to
  people setting up Internet server software on Macintoshes. WebSTAR
  will take advantage of Apple's Thread Manager to permit smoother
  handling of many simultaneous tasks, and a future version will
  support Apple's upcoming Open Transport networking framework and
  its new TCP/IP implementation. The new software will offer 68000
  and PowerPC versions, and has a variety of other enhancements over
  the existing MacHTTP software. StarNine says a Mac-based WebSTAR
  server will easily handle "hundreds of thousands of WWW
  transactions a day."

  WebSTAR Pro will offer the same features as WebSTAR, but will also
  support electronic payment exchanges using the First Virtual
  Internet Payment System, and secure connections between client and
  server using Netscape Communications Corporation's Secure Sockets
  Layer protocol (SSL). First Virtual has created a secure means of
  transacting business on the Internet without requiring credit card
  information be sent across the net. Small merchants can maintain a
  presence on the net without even having to arrange to accept
  credit cards themselves; an example is a small Ithaca-based
  fiction publisher called Aether Press.

http://www.fv.com/
http://www.infohaus.com/access/by-seller/Aether_Press

  The pair of World-Wide Web servers will offer an alternative to
  Unix-based HTTP server software (including Netscape's Netsite
  package), providing easier administration and operation without
  sacrificing performance or functionality. Pricing has not yet been
  announced for the servers, which are scheduled for release by the
  end of April.

  Meanwhile, StarNine is changing the name of its upcoming EMail-on-
  Demand mailing list server software to MailSTAR (see TidBITS-258_).
  MailSTAR provides Mac-based LISTSERV-style mailing list
  capabilities and rules-based "mailbot" features. StarNine plans to
  offer a bundle of WebSTAR and MailSTAR - plus FTP and Gopher
  server software - in a combined package called OmniSTAR.

Zip Zapping Away - Lookups for the United States
------------------------------------------------
  by Tonya Engst <[e-mail]>

  If you rarely call or send mail to people within the United
  States, the software reviewed in this article will probably be of
  limited interest, but if you frequently send piles of mail or talk
  on the phone to people in the U.S., keep reading to find out about
  two utilities that might help you out - TrueBASIC's ZipZAPP and
  Montage Software Systems' ZipQuest Pro. Both programs help you
  look up information (such as a ZIP code) based on other
  information (such as an area code).

  As a former phone-based software support person, a number of
  possible uses for these programs jump out at me. If you want to
  check a customer's time zone before accidently calling her at what
  would be 6 AM her time, you can do it. If you just want to see
  what time zone someone is calling from, you can check (customers
  calling around 6 PM their time tend to have limited attention
  spans). Both of these programs beat dog-eared, excessively-
  photocopied sheets of paper for efficiency, usefulness, and
  elegance. Besides the basic lookups, each program offers a few
  more specialized options. ZipZAPP offers information about the
  population of a given location, and ZipQuest Pro computes the
  distance between any two locations.


**ZipZAPP** -- ZipZAPP enables you to search for information based
  on city name, ZIP code, or area code. By knowing one piece of
  search information - say the city name - you can discover not only
  the area code and ZIP code, but also the state, population, and
  time zone.

  ZipZAPP has three menus: The File menu offers a Quit command, the
  Edit menu a Copy selection command, and the Help menu a Time Zones
  command. When it comes to quitting, clicking the close box in the
  ZipZAPP window quits the application, but pressing Command-W (the
  usual close window command) does nothing. This actually works
  properly in the sense that if you did close the ZipZAPP window
  without quitting the program, there would be no window to reopen.
  The Time Zones command brings up a window that explains how to
  figure out what time it is someplace else, although you'll have to
  fire up a few brain cells to figure out and compute the time.

  In addition to the menu commands, ZipZAPP offers a simple search
  interface at the top of the window where it displays found
  information. To do a search, you use a pop-up menu to indicate
  whether you are searching based on ZIP code, city, or area code.
  Next, you type what you want to look for in the Search For text
  box. ZipZAPP responds pretty much instantly to search requests on
  a wide range of Macs - I tested it on a Classic and a Power Mac
  7100.

  ZipZAPP shows found information in columns labeled City, State,
  Zip Code, A.C., Population, and Time zone; the somewhat
  inconsistent capitalization of the labels exactly matches the way
  they are printed in this review. The window displays rows of
  information and the found item is always highlighted at the top of
  the window (if you search for a city called Washington, ZipZAPP
  finds several and highlights the first one). Although ZipZAPP
  presents found information in a clear manner, you cannot customize
  the font, column width, which columns display, nor any other
  aspect of the interface, except for the highlight color (which is
  the color you set in your Mac's Color control panel). The newest
  version of ZipZAPP, version 2.0, has improved the interface
  somewhat over the previous version - the window can now be resized
  vertically and looks more attractive on a color monitor. ZipZAPP
  weighs in at 864K of disk space, but only consumes 100K of RAM.

  ZipZAPP comes in DOS, Windows, and Mac 68K versions (there isn't
  much need for a PowerPC version; the program is already plenty
  fast). TrueBASIC sells ZipZAPP to individuals for $29; annual data
  updates cost $9.95. You can also purchase a $49 bundle, which
  includes ZipZAPP and ABBREV, a program with a similar feel to that
  of ZipZAPP that defines some 34,000 abbreviations and acronyms,
  with an emphasis on airport codes and stock symbols. Performa
  users may already have ZipZAPP; apparently it comes bundled with
  some of Apple's Performa bundles.

  TrueBASIC also sells ZipZAPP with a volume discount to companies
  who want to distribute the program with a logo and mini-
  advertisement in the bottom inch or so of the ZipZAPP window.


**ZipQuest Pro** -- ZipQuest Pro is ahead of ZipZAPP in terms of
  interface, but it's also far more than a pretty face. It can
  search based on a city or ZIP code and return the corresponding
  city, state, area code, time zone, and county. If you tell
  ZipQuest Pro where "Home" is and set your Mac's clock correctly,
  lookups also return the time at the lookup location and the
  distance between the lookup location and Home. According to the
  well-done manual, ZipQuest Pro correctly accounts for daylight
  savings time when it accounts for the time. You can also perform
  lookups based on knowing all or part of the name of a city, view a
  reference table matching area codes to states, and view a
  reference table matching abbreviations to state, U.S. Possessions
  (such as Palau), and U.S. Military Addresses (such as Military-
  Atlantic).

  ZipQuest Pro has elegance - the first part of the manual is
  unnecessary for anyone who groks the Macintosh interface. As icing
  on the cake for serious Macintosh users, ZipQuest Pro comes wired
  with Apple events so that other scripting-savvy applications can
  query it for lookups. The second half of the manual explains how
  to use ZipQuest Pro in an AppleScript context, and the program
  comes with demos that should help get you started in QuicKeys, 4D,
  ACT!, FileMaker Pro, and TouchBase Pro. ZipQuest Pro started life
  as an add-on for 4D and also comes with a 4D external which helps
  with performing lookups from 4th Dimension.

  Montage modified the stock database that comes from the U.S.
  Postal Service so that ZipQuest Pro can give information for
  cities that are not the primary city for a given ZIP code. Judging
  from the manual and press materials that came with ZipQuest Pro,
  this is an important feature.

  Complete with ReadMe files and demos, ZipQuest Pro consumes 1.6 MB
  of disk space and loads into 120K of RAM. Get rid of all but the
  application and the data, and the disk size drops to 1.3 MB. To
  run the program, you need a Mac Plus or newer and System 7 or
  greater. ZipQuest Pro lists for $49.95. Montage offers data
  updates on a biannual basis; updates cost $24.95 each or $19.95 if
  you get them through an automatic update service, though the
  package comes with a coupon for 50 percent off your first update.

  I am impressed with the product and with the quality of
  information that Montage provided, both in the manual and the
  advertising sheet. You can find a 329K demo version of ZipQuest
  Pro at:

ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/info-mac/info/nms/zip-quest-pro-demo.hqx


**Comparative Thoughts** -- Although in many ways the programs
  offer the same information, ZipQuest Pro stands out as the more
  professional and more Macintosh-oriented product. ZipQuest Pro
  also contains cities that are not the primary cities for a given
  ZIP code. If you need population data or one product that works on
  PCs and Macs, ZipZAPP is clearly the way to go; otherwise,
  ZipQuest Pro is most likely your product of choice.
