The Palace (update v. 1.6) - A Virtual World Chat on the Internet The Palace is a complimentary technology to Web browsers and provides real-time interactivity between people. Users can create their own appearances, or avatars, by importing photos and graphics or selecting from a suitcase of "props" included in the software. Once inside a Palace environment, or server, it is possible to see and talk with other people in the same space. Users can move between "rooms", talk privately, make sounds and change avatars as they move throughout any Palace environment. Unlocking the server software allows anyone to create their own Palace for the PC, Mac and UNIX platforms. This shareware copy of The Palace includes both the Palace client and server. Registration allows customization of your avatar and unlocks the server software. Register the software for $25 US with your credit card by calling 1-800-PALACE2 (725-2232) from the United States or 1-619-537-2465 international. Please feel free to distribute this shareware and documentation in its unaltered, complete package. You can find more about the Palace software at http://www.thepalace.com. Version 1.6 fixes a bug which could result in a corrupted prop file. Jeff Schwartz webdog@thePalace.com
