""""""""""""""" If you haven't heard, the flagship issues of GEnieLamp (GEnieLamp IBM, Mac, ST and A2) has split into two issues, released on the 1st and the the 15th of every month. The issue on the 1st will concentrate on message highlights, news and general information. The second issue will bring you the latest news and views from the libraries and real-time conferences as well as other GEnie bits & pieces of information. GEnieLamp Distribution Method Changes In the last issue, I announced that """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" instead of listing/capturing GEnieLamp you would soon be able to download your issue of GEnieLamp just as you would with any other file here on GEnie. I'm happy to announce that the new system is in place and it works great! Now you can DOWNLOAD your favorite copy of GEnieLamp Online Magazine, just as you would any other file found here on GEnie. NOTE TO SCRIPT USERS For Aladdin readers we have included the new """""""""""""""""""" GET_THE_LAMP script in this issue of GEnieLamp IBM and ST. With this script Aladdin will log on to the GEnieLamp page, capture one (or more) of the issues and then either hang up or go on and do an autopass 1 or 2. See ADD ALADDIN for elsewhere in this issue for details. For Macintosh readers a new version of GEnieLamp Module v3.01e will be released that will allow you to download any and all issues of GEnieLamp Mac/MacPRO and the other platforms -- up to 8 at a time -- from page 515 and the new DIGIPUB RT library at 1395.

T/TalkNET Publishing & LiveWire Online Starting with the March/April """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" issue of Livewire, T/TalkNET has been commissioned to do the final formatting of the online version of LiveWire Magazine. The online version of LiveWire has many articles and features that are not found in its sister hardcopy publication, LiveWire.

Finally, expert financial help is available in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Debt Manager(tm) employs a debt structuring technique that literally saves thousands of dollars in unpaid interest penalties. Financial counselors have been using this method of debt repayment for years and now it's available to you for a fraction of the cost of a single professional financial counselling session. Debt Manager(tm) is simple to use. The screens have been created with easy to follow directions and extra help is available with the touch of the key. Put Debt Manager(tm) to work for you today and join the thousands that are on their way to becoming debt free. We get excited when customers share their success with us and we'd love to hear from you. [*][*][*] MINI_BYTE BY BRAD [4 Lamps] Debt Manager(tm) is a different kind of """"""""""""""""""""""""""" financial calculator. It lets you input the particulars about all your debts, including creditor, balance, interest rate, and minimum monthly payment. You tell it how much extra money a month you're willing (or able) to devote to paying off debts. Debt Manager will then let you choose one of three methods to pay the debt off, and tell you how much you'll save by doing so (of course the amount is decreased by the $20 registration fee - nice touch ). You can view or print details on how to divvy up the monthly till. One of the nice features of Debt Manager is the ability to save the data you input. That way, after you make more payments, or the amount of extra money you can donate to the deficit reduction plan changes, you simply pull up the old data, update it, and get a new or updated plan. Another nice feature is the ability to play "what if" by adjusting the extra amount or the payoff strategy to see what works best. Debt Manager is very simple to use, and for $20, it's well worth a look. Hopefully, there's not too many of us who need to use it . MINI BYTE BY TIPPY [4 1/2 Lamps] Debt Manager is a handly little program """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" for anybody who need a plan to pay off their debt. The program comes with a sample file that you can play around with to learn what this program can do. And it can do quite a lot. After entering the account information, you select how much money you will pledge each month towards paying these debts off. The program gives you three different strategies to pay off these debts, and then generates, according to the strategy you selected, a payoff plan. The interface is pleasant and easy to use, and includes context sensitive help. All in all, it is an excellent program. If you are in need of a specific plan to handle your debt, Debt Manager is easily worth the download and $20 registration fee. MINIBYTE BY BOBSIE [5 Lamps] I am impressed. As whizbang as my version """""""""""""""""""""""""""" of Quicken is, it can not do what Debt Manager does. This sweetheart of a program is one of the better financial programs I have seen in quite a while. I was duly impressed by the quick menu and online help screens which, when called up, took no time at all at displaying even on my old 8mhz XT that uses a Hercules mono monitor. I could tell immediately that a lot of time and effort went into this program's development. After all, the authors even considered mono monitor users! The screens are well laid out as well as well thought out and everything worked as advertised. There is even a sample database provided for you to use to become familiar with the operation of the program and to practice some "what if" type functions. As with all programs of this type, the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. The authors include a disclaimer that basically disavows any liability as to the results received using Debt Manager. All I can say is, if it does half of what it says it will do to help you manage your debt and saves you from paying a financial counselor, then your $20.00 will be well spent! This program is becoming a permanent part of my financial utilities.

Well, EZ CO*DE is somewhere in the middle. I'm not sure if the screen qualifies as GUI, but it's certainly easy enough to use (with one exception). EZ CO*DE certainly eliminates the need to know any of the many parameters and options involved with this collection of file compressors. However, you do need to be somewhat familiar with the terminology involved to get around without the documentation, which is very well written. Speaking of documentation and the need or lack thereof, it took me about 10 minutes to finally figure out how to create a new archive. That's a lifetime in reviewer-seconds! The answer, of course, was in the documentation, but I didn't realize until too late that I was looking at the mouse tutorial and not the keyboard tutorial :\ Certainly not the author's fault, but frustrating nonetheless. EZ CO*DE lets you view both compressed and uncompressed files, a very nice feature. It views the compressed files without decompressing to your directory (it keeps one on the side for itself). It also adjusts to the particular compression software you choose, so if a particular feature is not available to .PAK, for instance, then EZ CO*DE recognizes that and doesn't let you choose that feature. One drawback in the keyboard mode is that the menu does not support hot keys. Once you enter the menu through the Alt key, you're relegated to the use of the arrow keys to make your selection. A minor inconvenience, but different from how most menus work. All in all, EZ CO*DE saves you time in trying to remember the plethora of details amongst the group of compression software, and is worth a try. Please note: EZ CO*DE supports CGA, EGA, and VGA. Registration is $30. When you register EZ CO*DE, you will receive a letter of confirmation, including instructions on how to replace the registration message with your name and serial number. Registration entitles you to the use of the version registered and ALL future versions of EZ CO*DE ! It also includes technical support through EMail, US mail, and telephone.

[EOA] [CLA]////////////////////////////// CLASSICS / ///////////////////////////////// Shoot Some Rays """"""""""""""" By Brad Biondo [B.BIONDO] Program Name : Super Mystery Box Filename : MBOX251.ZIP Library Area : 7 Program Number : 22515 File Size : 22,515 Program Type : Game, Thinking Author : J. A. Montano Version Reviewed: 2.51 File Type : Freeware / ($0) [*][*][*] FROM THE AUTHOR The standard Mystery Box equates to an 8 by 8 grid with """"""""""""""" a total of 64 locations where atoms can be placed and 32 entry (or exit) locations surrounding the box. The object of Mystery Box is to locate a number of atoms hidden in the closed box by shooting laser rays into the box at any of these 32 different locations (or possibly more as you'll see later). When the rays emerge from the box (they don't always) at another location (or the same location) this information can be combined with the same type of information from other rays to determine where each of the atoms are positioned in the box. Points are scored during the game by each ray, plus points are added at tally time for any atoms whose locations are guessed incorrectly. The lower the final score, the better. The atoms may be hidden by the computer or you can create some competition by having a friend hide the atoms for you. Double Mystery Box can be selected from the screen title page. As the name implies, the standard 8 by 8 grid has been replaced by an 8 by 16 grid, doubling the number of spaces where atoms can be hidden. To help you take some of the guesswork out of it, there are two new types of rays that may be used in the Double Mystery Box game. Plasma Bolts react to atoms the same way the standard laser rays do. The difference is that a Plasma Bolt is a very hot ray. So hot, in fact, that the path of the bolt shines right up through the top of the box onto your grid. X-Rays also react to atoms identically to laser rays with one exception. The first atom it encounters head on is invisible to it, hence the name. That first atom, though, will absorb its X-Ray powers and it will react thereafter as a regular Laser Ray. The atom, however, will remain 'invisible' to the ray should the path of the ray bring it back in close proximity to it. Just before an X-Ray is absorbed by an atom, or exits the box, a tiny, but strong, light is emitted which is seen on the grid. This lit square is very helpful in retracing the path of the X-Ray, possibly giving you sorely needed information about hidden atoms that may otherwise be 'unseen'. As the name implies, the X-Bolt is a combination of the Plasma Bolt and the X-Ray, but with an added twist. The X-Bolt will not display the path of the ray until it senses the presence of an atom. Not just an atom immediately in front of it, but any atom on either side of it which would cause the ray to be deflected one direction or the other. (^) <^> /~ ~\ \-=======_/"\_======-/ \) PD_RATING "\. FIVE LAMPS ./" """"""""" "\._ _ _./" (_____) DOCUMENTATION EXCELLENT """"""""""""" PD_Q COMMENTS Waiting for summer to come to catch some rays? Well, """"""""""""" download this one, and you can shoot some rays. What more can I say? The documentation that comes with this _free_ game is extensive, but I wanted to put enough of it above to entice you to try this one out! I would imagine most of you gamers have seen Mystery Box or Black Box in one form or another (either on a PC or on a table). But what you may not have seen is the great variations Super Mystery Box offers. As the author suggests, try out the regular game first. An 8 by 8 grid is plenty of challenge when you're just starting out. When you get comfortable enough, graduate to Double Mystery Box, and try out the new rays available. It takes some getting used to, but you can press Alt-F8 to show where the atoms are, and then take some shots. This helps a lot to learn exactly how the special rays work. If you think this is all child's play, there's two more "levels". Quad Mystery Box has a 16 by 16 grid for (quick, mathematicians) 256 possible locations for those pesky atoms to hide. The four rays explained above are available. And if you're a diabolically clever person (or you like inflicting mental pain on yourself ), try Super Mystery Box, a 32 by 16 grid of 512 locations! Make sure you set aside some time before attempting this! It can be detrimental to your productivity. There is no registration fee. Super Mystery Box is provided free by Joe Montano, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Please note: the title screen and Quad and Super Mystery Box requires at least an EGA monitor. This implies that the Regular and Double games are available to those with less resolution. Enjoy!

This new title allows users access to the Federal Procurement Data Center's database of federal purchases. This initial title contains over 145,000 records of purchases across many agencies of the federal government. Users can search purchasing information sorted by over 40 different fields. It is now easy to find what products the government is buying, who the vendor was, how much was paid, which contractors are required to subcontract to small businesses, and much more. This newly created CD-ROM offers businesses and researchers valuable information on the federal government's buying habits. The initial disc covers purchases for quarters 1-3 of FY92, with continued update service available. The disc will normally retail for $99.95; however, for a limited time CDP is offering it for $39.95. CDP was formed in 1991 by two former Digital Equipment employees in Dallas, Texas. Spurred by the poor GUI and search/retrieval software existing in the early 90's, CDP has set out to use "OOP" (Object Oriented Programing) to create a more friendly and easily customizable product. CDPMenu* and PASS* provide users familiar menu and help files while controlling access of all data supplied on the CD-ROM. CDP plans to release six additional CD-ROM titles in 1993.

More than 125 U.S. companies have adopted Paradox for Windows, and now include the product among their accepted corporate software products. These companies represent thousands of orders for the product, and many have taken advantage of Borland's corporate Volume License Agreement (VLA). "Corporate customers have stringent requirements for database products," said Philippe Kahn, chairman, president and CEO for Borland. "Paradox for Windows meets customer demands with its functionality and robust features. From initial planning through product development, our PC software applications were designed with the corporate customer in mind and we are pleased that our customers are recognizing the strengths of our products." Companies that have adopted Paradox for Windows include: Arco Chemical, State of Connecticut, Southern California Gas, Bank of America, Fujitsu, State of Colorado, Southwest Airlines, State of Washington, Chevron, Charles Schwab, Kaiser, Lucky Stores, Pacific Bell, State of Utah, Varian, Rockwell, Paramount, Disney, Monsanto, Conoco, Texaco, New York State Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, Delta Airlines, General Accounting Office, US Air Force, Lehman Brothers and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. "Paradox for Windows is the most amazing first release of a product I've ever seen," said Dan Patterson, senior technical consultant, Arco Chemical. "While I've been programming for 25 years, this is my first try with object oriented programming, and I love what I can do with the product." According to Larry Taylor, State of Connecticut, "We've been able to take advantage of Paradox for Window's object oriented environment and build a "standard" application that is easy to modify for each division's specific needs. "We looked at PowerBuilder, but it was harder to get up to speed on. What we needed was a product that wasn't too big to easily create small applications, while still allowing us to work our way up to really sophisticated applications. What we got with Paradox for Windows was an easy-to-use package that could handle small, single-user PC application, multi-user LAN applications and SQL server applications." "Paradox for Windows is our recommended standard," said Jerry Lazarus, Technical Planning Department, Southern California Gas. "It's a great first release that enabled us to develop a number of applications that are already up and running. Volume License Agreements Borland's VLA program allows large companies """"""""""""""""""""""""" to easily standardize on Borland products. The VLA program offers aggressive, tiered discounts to companies willing to make a volume commitment to Borland products. Through designated Borland system integrators or others authorized by Borland to offer VLAs, customers can continue to purchase products from their existing resellers. Paradox For Windows Paradox for Windows brings an unmatched combination """"""""""""""""""" of power, ease-of-use and sophisticated application development to the world of data management. Paradox for Windows introduces a powerful, visual, object-oriented way of working with data that lets users easily build applications never before possible. The product also provides complete and transparent connectivity to both Paradox and dBASE data (including dBASE III+, dBASE IV, Paradox 3.x and Paradox 4.0). For corporations that require access to data residing on remote SQL servers, Paradox for Windows combined with Borland SQL Link provides secure, transparent, high-performance access to a variety of SQL database servers. Paradox DOS and Windows Compatibility Existing Paradox DOS applications """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" can be run from within Paradox for Windows And both products feature the industry standard Query By Example capability pioneered by Paradox more than five years ago. In addition, Paradox for Windows is completely interoperable with Paradox DOS data. This type of compatibility gives users a variety of transition options when moving from DOS to Windows. Paradox for Windows and Paradox 4.0 (DOS) share the same file format, allowing users to share data both seamlessly and concurrently. For millions of software developers and end users worldwide, Borland International Inc. is the leader in application development software. A pioneer in the use of object-oriented technology, Borland is committed to offering the world's best database management, programming languages, development tools, spreadsheets and applications software.

BORLAND FORMS CLIENT/SERVER DIVISION Promotes Dickerson to Head New Unit """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--April 29, 1993--In response to the growing trend among major corporations to evolve their data processing operations into client/server environments, Borland International Inc. (NASDAQ:BORL) today announced it has established a Client/Server Division. The new division will be responsible for research, development and marketing of Borland's client developer tools, middleware and server products in client/server configurations. The company also announced that Rob Dickerson, 36, was promoted to senior vice president and will head the new division. "With huge amounts of data stored on Borland databases and a decade of leadership in the development of programming and database tools, Borland is in a unique position to help customers reap the benefits of client/server computing," said Philippe Kahn, president, chairman and CEO, Borland International. "This new division will help ensure a complete client/server solution to customers, including superior technology, technical support, service and training, and sales support and distribution." The Borland Client/Server Solution Borland has developed and integrated a broad range of advanced client tools, connected via a highly capable middleware layer, to the most technologically advanced database server. The goal is to provide best-of-breed solutions in each area, while embracing open standards, thereby allowing customers to "mix and match" products to best meet their needs. Products to be managed by the Client/Server Division include the InterBase server; upcoming SQL link products for Windows and current SQL links for DOS; IDAPI middleware; and client developer kits based on desktop products such as Paradox for Windows, and products under development, such as dBASE for Windows. Customers will be offered a broad range of high-end training, service and support assistance, which is currently in place and being offered to such InterBase customers as The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Bear Stearns and Chicago Reseach & Trading Group Ltd. InterBase has typically sold well in these types of mission-critical applications; as a result, Borland can offer the full range of client/server solutions, from desktop applications to departmental client/server applications, to mission-critical client/server applications. The client/server market is expected to grow substantially in the years ahead according to leading market analysts. According to Forrester Research, a Cambridge, Mass. computer industry research company, forecasts for the client server market are will grow at an annual compound growth rate of 70 percent from 1992 through 1996. "Our strategy is to leverage our strength in the PC desktop market to target departmental-level client/server needs, as well as retain our strength in the mission-critical server market," said Rob Dickerson, vice president, Client/Server Division. "Borland's unique technology strengths, an approximately 70 percent market share of PC database products and our ties with a developer community over 5 million strong provide an excellent foundation for our continued emphasis on client/server solutions." "As a client/server developer, we are using Borland tools for applications being delivered to major corporations" said Paul Sharp, System Reeng Inc. "We are excited about the integrated approach Borland is taking in the database world; with Paradox for Windows and InterBase, you can deliver a total solution that connects the desktop to every relevant portion of company data using the latest user interfacing and application techniques. The powerful combination of InterBase's multi-generational architecture, IDAPI middleware and the object-oriented nature of Paradox for Windows, surpasses anything else on the market today." Borland's Object Component The Borland Object Component Architecture Architecture: A C/S Foundation (BOCA) is Borland's client/server """""""""""""""""""""""""""""" foundation. At the heart of this architecture lies the InterBase Engine, core Borland technology which ensures interoperability among Borland's client products, including Paradox, dBASE, Quattro Pro and Borland C++. Borland's most recently announced client developer product, Paradox for Windows, has been built from the ground up in Windows to operate well in a client/server environment and well as in standalone applications. It offers the most sophisticated querying and reporting capabilities across multiple data sources of any PC database product on the market. Using Paradox for Windows, an end user can query multiple databases, including dBASE, Paradox, Oracle and others, and rapidly present the information into a single Paradox for Windows table, form or report. Surrounding the InterBase Engine is an IDAPI middleware layer, which serves as intelligent system software that supports existing standards and connects a variety of clients to a variety of servers on a variety of platforms. IDAPI is a platform-independent database connectivity solution that meets customer needs by providing connectivity to both SQL and non-SQL databases. IDAPI partner companies include Borland, IBM, Novell and WordPerfect; over 40 additional companies have joined the IDAPI standardization effort, including NEC, SyBase, Oracle, Pioneer and Gupta, among others. IDAPI will be made available across a number of platforms, including DOS, OS/2, Microsoft Windows, and NetWare. It is complementary to Microsoft's Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) specification; any ODBC-compliant database driver will be able to be accessed through IDAPI without modification. To access to the greater world of data, Borland is scheduled to begin shipping SQL connections for its client products in the third calendar quarter. Paradox for Windows, for example, will be able to access data from InterBase, DB2, Oracle, SyBase, and Microsoft/Sybase SQL server, which far surpasses the number of SQL connections available for other PC database products on the market. The final component of BOCA is the InterBase server, the leading product on the market to support peer-to-peer networks with multiple, distributed databases, which is the emerging client/server model. InterBase also features high performance throughput in mixed-use environments, superior data management, support for complex data such as graphics, video, sound and rich text, and ease of use and maintenance. For millions of software developers and end users worldwide, Borland International, Inc. is the leader in application development software. A pioneer in the use of object-oriented technology, Borland is committed to offering the world's best database management, programming languages, development tools, spreadsheets and applications software. Borland's products include Paradox, Quattro Pro, dBASE, InterBase, Borland C++ and Borland Pascal for Objects. Founded in 1983 by Philippe Kahn, Borland is headquartered in Scotts Valley, California. [EOA] [ADD]////////////////////////////// ADD ALADDIN! / ///////////////////////////////// Cut & Paste Scripts For Aladdin """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Aladdin script by Jim Lubin [JIM.LUBIN] TURBO-ALADDIN! One complaint that I have received over and over """""""""""""" again from GEnieLamp readers was about getting GEnieLamp via the slow, error-prone method of listing/capturing the magazine. Well, we have come up with a solution that I think you'll love. Now, instead of capturing the issue, you can download the Lamp just like you would any other file found here on GEnie. But we didn't stop there. Jim Lubin has come up with a new Get_The_Lamp script that will download one or more of the GEnieLamp issues off of page 515. Simple! What Does It Do? When executed from within Aladdin, the Get_The_Lamp """""""""""""""" script will log on to GEnie, go to page 515 and download the issue(s) automatically. After doing so, the script will then either 1) Log off (depending on your "Stay" status in Aladdin) or move to a GEnie*Basic page. The Get_The_Lamp script has an option which will allow you to get the magazine(s) at a preset time. You also have the option of doing an autopass 1 or autopass 2 if you like. Sound good? Just "cut out" the script below and follow the installation procedures found at the end of this article. Any problems, comments or whatever, send GE Mail to GENIELAMP or JIM.LUBIN. ~ cut here ~ Script # Get_The_Lamp!

To do this, just load this magazine into any word processor or text editor, and cut or block this script file out to it's own separate file and save it as LAMP02.SCR. (Our thanks to Ed Perrone, Sysop, Astrology RT for these quicky instructions.) Aladdin IBM Before you can use this script, you must add it to Aladdin. """"""""""" You only need to do this once, and then the script will be available every time you run Aladdin. Use the following procedure: 1. Copy LAMP02.SCR into the Aladdin directory on your computer. 2. Start Aladdin. 3. At Aladdin's Main Menu, on the bottom right-hand side of the screen, you'll see a listing of scripts already contained in Aladdin. The scripts will be numbered from 3 through 9. 4. Select a script number into which you will load this script. If you have empty slots in the script listing, use one of them. If all the slots already contain scripts, you'll have to delete one of them before you can add this one. (If you have version 1.0 of this script, delete it and replace it with this new version.) 5. Jot down the script number you've selected so you don't forget it. 6. Press F7 to enter Aladdin's script editor. The listing of scripts will now be on the upper right of your screen. 7. If you need to delete an existing script to make room for this one, press D. Then press the number of the script you wish to delete. Aladdin will delete the script. (If you don't need to delete an existing script, then skip this step.) 8. To add the new script to Aladdin, press A. Aladdin will place you into the script editing window and display a "skeleton" new script. 9. Press CTRL-Y several times to delete all the text that's displayed in the editing window. 10. Press CTRL-K (Aladdin will beep), then press R. A dialog box will open requesting a file name. Type LAMP02.SCR, then press . Aladdin will read the script file into the editor. 11. Press CTRL-PgUp to move to the beginning of the script. 12. The first line of the script will read, "Script # Get_The_Lamp!" Replace the "#" with the script number you'll be using (the number you jotted down in step 5). THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT! 13. Now press to save the script. When Aladdin finishes saving the script, you'll be back at the script editor menu. Press again to return to the Aladdin's Main Menu. The new script should now be listed in your list of Aladdin scripts -- and it's ready to run! AMI/ST ALADDIN """""""""""""" o Under the "File" menu, click on the "Edit User Script" option.
