Macintosh Amateur Radio Software - January 1994
Version 1.05

First of all... Happy New Year to all of you Mac Hams. Hope Santa was good to 
you and you have a neat new toy or two!

Please feel free to distribute this list as widely as possible. Many of you 
have asked if it is OK to cross-post this list? I don't mind, but I would 
like to know where it is going. If you think it should be cross-posted to 
other USENET groups, please let me know so I can try and manage these. We 
don't want to have any duplication or our welcome will be wore out!

Those of you that can tell me about ANY of these programs compatibility with 
System 7 would be appreciated! I am going to be adding a System 7 
compatability section to EACH description in future releases. If the 
application is KNOWN to execute properly under System 7, the System 7 
anotation will be placed as the last line of the product description. More 
clarification on levels of System 7 compatibility in the future editions... 
but this is a start!

Some of the information in this list was gleaned from flyers supplied by the 
software vendors, or in some cases from reviews in amateur radio publications 
or the README files included with the archive. Some of the information has 
not been verified for a long time; please check with the vendors/authors for 
the latest product specs, pricing, etc.

NEW/CHANGES: I've started adding more version numbers so that our
users will know if they have the most current release. Thanks to
those that have already sent them in... I'll accept all corrections!

This list contains info on updated for several applications: updated
information on Kantronic's Host Master(thanks John-WD1V) and Lar's
newest release of Morse Trainer 1.1.1. Ivo-ON1XK and Adam-PA2AGA both contnue 
to be busy with new releases of IM/Mac and NET/Mac repsectively. I know that 
Adam made changes to support the multiport serial boards... and now we can 
have up to 16 TNCs connected! Thanks Adam, Ivo and Lars for some great 
products!

MacSPOC is the most recent new entry

I have been informed that The World, world.std.com, is the newest
site carrying the Mac Ham Radio Software. Scott-WY1Z is maintaining
these file as the Librarian of the Boston Amateur Radio Club. Look

start time. And the lengh of word is generating randomly, so if
you set even 5WPM, sometimes another value will appear. However
you should believe the slidebutton's value. If you repeat many
times, the average speed should be 5WPM (if not... anyway, believe
the slidebutton's value).  Archive is available mac.archive.umich.edu,

responses the program shows the correct character; the list of
characters at the end which will show those you know and those

 PacketTracker ver 1.05 is a program that monitors packet activity and keeps 
track of what is going on. It draws a graphical map showing who is talking to 
who and displays statistics of all current stations and keeps a running tally 
of activity.  PacketTracker was written for both the casual packet user and 
the network manager or BBS operator. The casual packet user will be able to 
learn a great deal about what is happening in packet around him; which 
stations are generating the most data and what some of them are. he will be 
able to see graphically what stations he can hitdirectly and which ones he 
cannot.  For the network manager and BBS operator, PacketTracker provides 
extensive insight to the operation of the local network and problems such as 
excessive retries on a path. It also allows for extensive logging of channel 
utilization and other pertinate information.
 NOTE: This application requires the Apple's Serial Tool from the 
Communications Toolbox.
