I started using the Win32 version of Frontier today. It's building websites. Ye-hi! So of course the first thing I wanted to know is how it performs relative to the Mac software.

Frontier 5/Win32 is *not* available for download yet. What I used today was quite glitchy and would also be confusing for a new user, but it worked. Coming sooon!

A Frontier 5 graphic from Brian Kelley, bkelly@cloud9.net. He says "This was done in Bryce 2 by Metatools. Currently I can't find a 3D model of a cow skull, let alone a guy on a horse. If you'd like to see anything special in it (different lighting, another object) let me know."

Welcome Back! Mac OS Rumors. The Oracle-UMAX-Motorola story is still there. Something to chew on.

This is exciting! Another clean-room Java.

Dave Polaschek's recommended reading page was done with a neat Frontier macro that you can download from his fat page farm. (It's called ISBN.)

From a reader who doesn't want to use his name: 'The NT Internals website just disappeared one day. A few days later it came back, looking almost identical except that a few pages that had really really accurate info were gone.'

InfoWorld: Sun hands off Java testing to outside lab.

Non-Sun-licensed Javas: Roaster is a commercial clean-room implementation and JOLT is a freeware project.

News.com interview with Dan Bricklin, the lead developer of VisiCalc and other wonders.

7/23/97: "Trellix".
