Oshel" To: Subject: [*] DaemonCron Lite 1.5 This small daemon posts messages to the screen, and will launch applications, documents, AppleScripts, sound files, etc., on any schedule you set. Possible uses include nagging yourself (via Notification Manager alerts or AppleScripts), launching Netscape at 3 A.M. to drive your cat nuts, whining soulfully when someone else is using your computer, turning your house lights on or off (requires wiring and additional stuff not provided), doing things at startup or shutdown, listening to your ex's dead dog bark every now and then, and so forth. Hey, it's daemonic! Use your imagination! DaemonCron is freeware for private use. Requires PowerPC and OS 7.5 or better (OS 9.1 recommended). Requires ResEdit or Resorcerer for configuration, and you should be comfortable with no-holds-barred system spelling bees when you configure launchfile names. ;-) NOTE: Support for 68k machines has been discontinued. Changes in this version: 1.5 - 6 June 2001 - Removed the seriously outdated PlaySound code because it was asynchronous and too buggy under OS 9. Sounds are now managed by launching sound files instead. Also, enhanced the random cron so that users may "tune" how often a random item (usually a sound file) will be launched. Fixed a bug that forced DaemonCron to play ALL the random crons, instead of selecting one at random.

Web Confidential 2.2.2 for Macintosh Web Confidential is an intuitive, easy-to-use program for managing user IDs, passwords, registration numbers, and the like. Although widely imitated, Web Confidential is still the most powerful password manager on the Mac today and is currently the only password manager which is able to HotSync with a Palm device using a Macintosh Conduit. While Web Confidential is suitable for a wide variety of personal data, from credit card numbers to serial numbers, Alco Blom designed Web Confidential particularly for the World Wide Web in mind. "Increasing numbers of Web sites maintain some form of user registration," points out Blom. "You may not realize it, but in the course of time you may registered at a couple of dozen sites. Do you remember the passwords you entered for all of them?" Web Confidential allows Web surfers to store URLs, user IDs, and passwords in one secure location. Web Confidential can automate the process of logging into a password-secured Web page by automatically passing URL, user ID, and password to your Web browser. For opening pages containing personal account information at commercial sites, Web Confidential allows you to automatically fill in WWW Forms with user ID and password fields. To ensure the personal information stored in Web Confidential remains confidential, the program's password files can be encrypted using state-of-the-art encryption technology.

As discussed in TidBITS, there is a Word Macro Security Fix available at I previously went to that URL and downloaded the MacBinary with no problem. My question is that the directions at that URL say to apply the latest update before putting in this bug fix, and it notes 3. If your version number [do a Get Info on Word] is 8.0 (5730) then you are already using the Service Release. If your version number is 8.0 (4926) you need to run the Combined Updater for Office 98 before this Security Updater will work. I think I have all the updates applied and my version is 8.0 (7711).
