[MD1] Monaco Tuner 1.2b3 available
From: squeegee@concentric.net (Stephen C. Gilardi)
Subject: [ANN] Monaco Tuner 1.2b3 available - please test
Due to a bug, Monaco Tuner 1.2b2 didn't work with Mac OS versions less than
8.5. Monaco Tuner 1.2b3 has been tested under Mac OS 8.1 and Mac OS 8.5.
Under Mac OS 8.1 and earlier, it should act just like Monaco Tuner 1.1.x.
I think this will be the last beta of Monaco Tuner 1.2b3, so I would
appreciate it if someone would make it fail and send me a bug report. :)
Under Mac OS 8.5, Monaco Tuner 1.2b3 allows you to substitute the 9 pt
bitmap font of your choice for Monaco 9. All other Monaco Tuner features
are disabled under Mac OS 8.5. Providing the other features is difficult
(in some cases impossible) using the new, Mac OS 8.5-compatible method.
This one function ("substitute for Monaco 9") is the only Monaco Tuner
function I usually use.
If you're interested, you're welcome to download this beta version from the

WebDoubler Update Corrects Sherlock Queries
November 6, 1998 -- Maxum Development Corp. announced today the release of
a free WebDoubler plug-in that corrects a bug in Sherlock, the new Web
searching system found in Apple's Mac OS 8.5. Apple has acknowledged that
Sherlock can display error messages, instead of search results, when using
an HTTP proxy server such as Maxum's recently released WebDoubler.
The new plug-in for WebDoubler intercepts the bad Sherlock queries and
corrects them as they are sent to the search engines. Not only does the
plug-in allow Sherlock queries to be processed by WebDoubler, but it
reconstructs the query so that upstream proxies and host servers will also
function correctly. WebDoubler, which runs on Mac OS, is the first HTTP
proxy server to actively detect and correct the Sherlock proxy bug.
The new plug-in is available free at:
