Projects can be arranged in up to 50 main categories. Or if you prefer, you can use the category level for your projects, and use the next level down for detailed project subcategories. You can even arrange your projects over several separate copies of Digital Diary to add yet another level to your project hierarchy. Digital Diary=81 employs a double entry method, which records all notes i= n both a Day File as well as a Project File. A third location, the 'To Do List', is reserved for certain types of notes that require future follow up, such as appointments and project deadlines. Digital Diary=81 ships with note types arranged in two groups. The first group is set to be recorded in the To Do List as well as the Project File and Day File. Note types can be changed, added, or removed at any time. An on-screen reminder appears when the program is opened on or after the date specified for a future event listed in the 'To Do List'. Each project can also be assigned a status from a user-definable menu. A wide variety of reports can be generated, with information arranged by project name, status, or note type. Varying levels of password protection are available to control access to the program.

FlashStats generates statistics from any Web server log file. Web masters who use FlashStats know who is accessing their site, what pages these users are viewing, and when they're viewing them. Even better, Web masters using FlashStats can quickly detect and eliminate bad links and other problems on their own site or other sites. The twelve different reports FlashStats provides include: Summary Report -- shows the total number of hits and bytes transferred Top Pages -- list the hits for each page on your site Top Referrers -- see where users come from; who has links to your site? Search Phrases -- find out how people search for your site Most Common Browsers -- discover the capabilities users have User Domain Analysis -- see where users are coming from Types of Domains -- show total users from .com, .org, .jp, etc. Daily Totals -- see hits over a long period of time Hits Per Day of Week and Hits Per Hour -- see when your site is busiest Bad URLs -- are users trying to access pages that don't exist? Bad Referrers -- do other sites have bad links to your site? FlashStats can show statistics for a whole site or just a portion of the site, using one or more log files for input. The Mac version is preconfigured for use with WebSTAR or QuidProQuo, but a few quick changes can set it up for any log file format. It's an asynchronous cgi program, so it can be used locally or remotely; security features are included. FlashStats is $99; the attached file is a 30-day free trial.

QuickEncrypt 3.0 Release 5 beta; by David Sinclair. Drop a file on this application to quickly and securely encrypt it, or decrypt previously encrypted files. It is very configurable and has many features, including support for files of an unlimited length, multiple worksets, user-controlled password limitations, default passwords, automatic encryption and/or decryption, verification of validity, the option of a standard source folder and various destination options, opening files once decrypted (via AppleEvents), and more. Shareware, US$25. You can register via e-mail using your credit card: or . The latest version can be obtained by anonymous ftp from ftp.erehwon.org in the /pub/dejal directory, or via the Dejal Userware Web pages: . Requires Mac OS 7.0 or later; compatible with Mac OS 8. New features and other changes in this release: o QuickEncrypt is now a "fat" application, i.e. it runs native on both 680x0 and PowerPC computers. o Implemented a text-based encryption method. This works just like the original method, but encrypting files results in a text file, the contents of which can be pasted into the body of an e-mail message, similar to my Dejal Register application. This feature is controlled via the new Method page of the Workset dialog. Please give this a lot of testing, to be sure there are no remaining bugs with it. Do not rely on this method until the final release, in case it does have bugs, or in case I need to change the format in some way before release. o Started implementing an archive viewer window. This is not complete yet, but it'll give you some idea of what it'll be like when it is done. It is activated via the new Archive Window page of the Workset dialog, and includes a sortable list in a window, and two new menus.

Finally joining the crowd I've created my own badge for my Seeker program. Seeker's stability has always been a strongpoint, so why not? Feel free to use the badge in your own projects. It's free! The badge has a Mac OS logo that winks to you, "Compatible with" in Espy Sans 8 under that, and "Mac OS 8" in Apple Garamond 24 on the bottom. It's best viewed visually instead of described, though, so if you'd like you can view the badge at http://antioch-college.edu/~stefan/whatsnew.html. Also included is a copy of the badge that doesn't wink. It's not as fun, though! - Stefan Anthony [Archived as /info-mac/art/grf/mac-os-8-compatible-badge.hqx; 10K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 11:18:03 -0700 From: Dave Rudance Subject: Kensington Conflict I have just purchased a Kensington Turbo Mouse 5.0(4 button) and I seem to have a conflict with the Easy Access that comes with OS 8.
