workflow software, announced today its ExtremeZ-IP product uniquely allows
users of Apple's new Mac OS X to continue to use Windows NT and 2000 file
servers easily.
Mac users are accustomed to using the Chooser to locate servers quickly and
simply via the AppleTalk network protocol, but in OS X the Chooser is
replaced by the Connect to Servers function, which uses TCP/IP only. As a
result of this change, users of the new operating system find it difficult
and even impossible to locate and connect to servers based on Microsoft's
Services for Macintosh, a built-in component of the Windows NT and Windows
2000 server operating systems. ExtremeZ-IP, Group Logic's file server
product for mixed Macintosh and Windows networks, restores the network

processor, available for the first time for Windows PC systems, is more

[ANNOUNCE] BEST HACK CONTEST RESULTS FROM MACHACK 2001
The MacHax(tm) Group announces the results from the
Fifteenth Annual MacHax Best Hack Contest at MacHack 2001.
In its sixteenth year, MacHack convened one minute after midnight on June

Bill Atkinson, Jef Raskin, and Dan Kottke.
