It can also be used in conjunction with Eumorpha to import files into Claris Emailer. In addition it can be used to generate rfc934 digests and to import a few kinds of nicknames into Eudora. MailConverter works on several kinds of input files: Claris Emailer, mmdf, babyl, America Online, LeeMail, Pine, Elm, MacEMail, PopMail, eWorld, Genie, PC Eudora, Ricemail; files saved from several news programs (NewsWatcher, nn, gnus); files saved from Eudora or Z-Mail; and any other text files that have typical mail headers at the beginning. Folders of files (recursively) can also be converted. Files which appear to be digests will automatically be burst. MailConverter will, of course, also inter-convert between Eudora and Z-Mail. Finally, it will import (only into Eudora) three sorts of address books (Pine, MacEMail, Emailer), and it will generate rfc934 digests out of Eudora/Z-Mail mailboxes. In addition, MailConverter has limited support for conversion of files from other mail programs, but in these cases you must first generate a text file, using that mail program itself. Don't bother trying to convert the raw binary data. Conversion of these formats is not "officially" supported: it may work for your examples, it may not. Some mail programs for which this very limited conversion applies: cc:Mail, vmsMail, MSMail, and CompuServe mail. I regularly print mailing lists and newsgroup messages (saved and appended to a file with MT-NewsWatcher) with "Save A Tree". MailConverter can strip off redundant headers from newsgroup messages making the file considerably smaller.

The images are tiled and include crop marks to help align the printouts. The application is fully functional except the word "UNREGISTERED" will appear in the middle of each printout until the application is registered.

Engber is a free text file printing utility designed to conserve paper by printing on 1 page what would normally use 2 or 4 pages. Since Save A Tree only handles "TEXT" files, the author expected its primary audience to be programmers printing source code. The word wrap option makes it useful for general text printing too. Copies of the source (THINK C) may [could??] be obtained for $20 and a disk w/SASE. I regularly print mailing lists and newsgroup messages (saved and appended to a file with MT-NewsWatcher) with Save A Tree. "MailConverter" can strip off redundant headers from newsgroup messages making the file considerably smaller. I've noticed that sometimes when there is no printer selected in the Chooser, Save A Tree doesn't issue any error message -- selecting a printer has cured this for me. I guess Save A Tree stores its preferences inside the application which rarely requires one to reinstall a fresh copy of Save A Tree if its prefs get corrupted. I hope you like it -- it has saved me tons of paper, ink and time.

Holmes" Subject: [A] searching for an old mac game Wagner Truppel asked in Info-Mac Digest #63: >I used to play a very interesting and challenging strategy game in >which you have to move objects in a room to specific locations, and >you can only do that by pushing them around. {snip} Does anyone >remember what that game is called or where I can locate a copy? You're after "Sokoban". There are several versions extant, but the best by far IMO is "Sokoban 2.4.2a", by Scott Lindhurst. I believe it's in the info-mac games directory, but also available from Scott's web site at Without doubt one of the most entertaining and worthwhile "computer games" I've ever seen. Scott's implementation is a masterpiece, and it's freeware! /srh ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 08:26:43 -0700 From: "Chris McVay/Karen McVay" Subject: Bookmarks: Netscape Comm. to IE Hi, I have been using the latest versions of both Netscape Communicator and IE (don't ask why). I am wondering if there is a way to share the hundreds of bookmarks I have in Netscape with IE? Also, I would like to share some of those bookmarks with my wife's IE browser on her Windows machine. Thanks for any help.
