[NPL] Vicomsoft: DHCP/DNS Integration
Vicomsoft's DHCP/DNS Integration Offers Unrivalled Flexibility in
Network Administration
The newly released version 6 of Vicomsoft's popular Internet sharing
software, Internet Gateway and SoftRouter, feature both a DHCP server
and a Local DNS server. The DHCP server automatically configures
TCP/IP settings for all of the computers on the network, dramatically
reducing the amount of administration required. The local DNS server
resolves local host names to IP addresses, making it possible to use
easy to remember names rather than numbers to locate personal web
servers and other shared resources on the LAN.
The Internet Gateway and SoftRouter integrate the DHCP and DNS
servers seamlessly, making it possible to resolve local host names to
IP addresses even when they are dynamically assigned via DHCP. With
separate DHCP and DNS server products this would not be possible. The
Internet Gateway and SoftRouter however, allow computers to be moved,
renamed or have new addresses assigned with...

[NPL] ASCII Converter 1.3.1
From: Marco Bambini (marco@spiderlink.it)
Subject: ANNOUNCE: ASCII Converter 1.3.1
What is Ascii Converter?
ASCII converter is a simple "drag and drop" application that converts
text files from Windows to Macintosh and vice versa. MacOS and
Windows use two different ASCII tables (a way to represent the
characters) so when you open a Windows text file with a Mac
application all the special characters (like: ,,,,, etc.) are
misinterpreted. ASCII converter fixes this drawback and enables you
to correctly read the text.
This version (1.3.1) corrects some minor problems.
