Subject: [*] 1.0.6 UPDATE of Email Magician.sit (abstract and file)

This is a Stuffit archive of Email Magician 1.0.6 for Eudora« (Mac), the one-button solution to managing your email. The software (from YAV http://www.yav.com) automatically creates filters, mailboxes, and nicknames (address book entries) with one click. You can generate hundreds of filters in the time it takes to construct one manually. Email Magician creates mailboxes to go with your new filters, and can also add new nicknames to your address book corresponding to your new mailboxes.

This "Swiss Army Knife" for Eudora« includes powerful spam filtering and comes with over a hundred spam filters. Email Magician lets you organize and edit your filters, mailboxes, and nicknames too. The program also offers one-click archiving of mailboxes, as well as automated archiving of messages within mailboxes exceeding a specified message limit, or of entire mailboxes that haven't been modified within a certain time-period.

Email Magician automates many periodic email "house-cleaning" chores -- deletion of empty mailboxes and "orphan-filters," meaning filters targeting missing mailboxes, creation of filters and/or mailboxes for all nicknames in your address books, and much more. Please check http://www.yav.com/emailmagician.html to make sure you have the latest version.

----------------------------
This file may be included on the commercially available CD-ROM of the archives.

Subject: [*] Archer 2.0.0

Eridanus has released Archer 2.0.0. New in this release are commands to
delete the displayed image from the hard drive, remove the displayed
image from the slide show, and augmented navigation commands for
international users. All commands carry on ArcherÆs mash-the-keyboard
simplicity. In addition the single-keystroke commands, all new commands
also have standard menu and command key equivalents.

Archer is a free, easy-to-use slide show play for OS X. Use Archer to
combine still images, audio, and video files into the same slide. With
Archer you can also run several slide shows at the same time. Each slide
show can be configured and sized differently. To make navigating through
the images easy, a scroll bar is available when not in full screen mode.
You can even navigate through the images while the slide show is
playing...just in case you want to go back an see an image again.

Archer can be downloaded from the Eridanus web site:

MS Office 2001 comes with a program called "Equation Editor". It's in
the "Shared Applications" folder. To use the program from within
either Word or PowerPoint, select "Object..." from the "Insert" menu,
then select "Microsoft Equation 3.0" from the list of options, which
will launch Equation Editor. Create your barred or dotted letter,
then select "Update" from the "File" menu in Equation Editor. Voila!
It's a lot of work for just one character, but you can leave Equation
Editor running in the background if you have a lot of characters to
insert. In fact, you can type your entire document in the equation
editor, then update your Word document with the finished product; it
sure is easier than swapping back and forth.

There are free programs that can open jpeg documents. I occasionally use
Jade 1.2 and have never had any problem with it. It is available in the
Info-Mac archive.
