[MD1] MPW and Mac OS 8.5 issues
From: http://www.devworld.apple.com/dev/tools/mpw-tools/important.html
as reported by MacInTouch.
MPW and Mac OS 8.5
A serious bug has been discovered in the MPW Shell and ToolServer which can
cause a Macintosh running Mac OS 8.5 to experience errors and File Manager
operational failures. The bug exists in all versions prior to version 3.5d4
which was released on 9/9/98. The problem occurs when the Shell and/or
ToolServer are executing a sequence of tools (such as during a build
cycle), and the Mac OS 8.5 Finder is used to start a file and/or folder
copy operation. When both operations are occuring simultaneously, the
Finder will often start reporting File Not Open (-38) and/or Param (-50)
errors. When it does so, the MPW operation will also start experiencing
File Manager errors.
The bug has been fixed in version 3.5d4 of the Shell and ToolServer.
However, for those people who prefer to use Golden Master versions of
software, we have also released new Golden Master versions (v3.4.3)...

AppMaker Supports CodeWarrior Pro 4
Grantham, NH - October 20, 1998 - Bowers Development has released a minor
update for AppMaker #10 to support Metrowerks' CodeWarrior Pro 4. The
update can be downloaded from http://members.aol.com/bowersdev/.
The AppMaker-generated and library code is already compatible with CW Pro
4. The update contains new CodeWarrior project files. "The
incompatibilities between Pro 3 and Pro 4 were minor and were documented in
Metrowerks' release notes. This was one of the easier transitions," said
Spec Bowers, President of Bowers Development.
AppMaker's generated code helps programmers separate user interface code
from application logic. Users define their data structures, define the user
interface, then connect user interface items to data items. AppMaker
generates code for UI items to Get and Set the values of data items.
Additionally, programmers can specify code fragments for AppMaker to insert
into the generated code.

[NPL] Book: Web Performance Tuning
For immediate release
October 19, 1998
Faster, faster, faster...Web Performance Tuning
Sebastopol, CA--"When I told people I was writing a book called 'Web
Performance Tuning', the usual response I got was that the title should be
'Web Server Performance Tuning'", explains author Patrick Killelea, "But
when you're desperate to improve performance, you can become much more
creative about finding other parts of the web that you can tune."
Killelea's just-released book, "Web Performance Tuning" (O'Reilly, $32.95)
thoroughly covers tuning web server software, but it goes beyond the
server, uncovering ways to get optimal performance from a browser, tuning
the hardware (on both the server and browser ends) and maximizing the
capacity of the network itself.
As the World Wide Web (also jokingly referred to as the World Wide Wait)
matures, more users, more data, and more features have slowed down servers
and the loading of web pages to a crawl. Increased traffic has
unfortunately coincided...

[NPL] ProcessWatch
From: Charles Kefauver (ckefauver@ibacom.es)
Subject: ANNOUNCE: FREE ProcessWatch Webmaster utility
I have always thought that the "About this Mac" window that Apple provides
with the Finder, gives too little information, and takes up way too much
screen real state. Therefore, I have created ProcessWatch as the simplest
possible replacement for that window.
We currently have 8 Macs running different kind of services (internet and
otherwise), and since we already have most of our screens filled up with
with logging windows, our main concern was creating the smallest possible
window we could. We also wanted the program to take up as little CPU power
as possible.
ProcessWatch is PostCardWare. This means that although it is totally free,
we ask that if you decide to kept the program, you send me an email message
with your favorite picture, or if you prefer, send me a traditional
Postcard via regular mail.

MURRAY HILL, N.J. -- Lucent Technologies today announced that its
WaveLAN networking card designed for a new industry-standard wireless local
area network (WLAN) protocol is now available for a wide variety of Apple
computers, including the latest PowerBook G3 series.

which fits into a standard Type 2 PC card slot, provides high-speed
wireless connections between standard-compatible PC, workstation, or
peripheral systems at distances of up to 1000 feet. By using Lucent's

that offered by standard wired Ethernet network. The new card also provides

Maxum Development Releases WebDoubler 1.0
High-Performance Proxy Solution Fills Hole In Mac OS Software Arena
October 13, 1998 -- Maxum Development announced today the release of
WebDoubler 1.0, the first dedicated Web proxy server available for the Mac
OS. With the tremendous increase in Web activity, proxy servers have become
the primary means by which network managers accelerate Web access, maximize
Internet bandwidth, and manage use of their Internet connections. While
proxies are a proven and integral part of the Internet landscape, until now
there has been no serious proxy package available for the Macintosh.
"The lack of a proxy solution for the Mac OS has been a real problem," says
Jon Wiederspan, a network manager and noted author. "There is almost no
Internet-connected network that can't benefit from this technology. With
WebDoubler we now have a solution on Mac OS that is, in many ways, better
than what is available for UNIX or Windows NT."
