3=> Big Bertha and Me by Marc Johnson, mailto:Programs@cris.com

Welcome to my (sorta, maybe) weekly column here at CompuNotes. 
Patrick, the editor, has asked me to do an article for the paper on 
the topic of my choice. Oh boy, what a mistake! I have chosen "Big 
Bertha". Now, before you folks go screaming to Patrick about this nut 
writing porn in his paper, let me explain. Bertha is my computer. Each 
week I will be writing a short piece on last weeks exploits concerning 
Bertha. It may be a cool site we have seen, some new software she was 
able to munch on (and sometimes spit out), or her constant upgrades 
(she is very vain and likes to be the head-turner in a crowd - go 
figure). 

This week we'll be discussing "Excite" - a great search engine on the 
web, "Microsoft GIF Animator" - a simple way to make animated GIFs for 
the 'net, and "Bertha's Skin" - or how it's never quite on her. 

First off, Excite is one of the many search engines that can be found 
on the net. Yahoo, Lycos, Webcrawler and Infoseek are some of the 
other, well known, search engines. Excite, formerly known as 
Architext, was founded in September 1993 by six Stanford University 
graduates. These "nerd's" have built one of the fastest growing search 
engines on the net. With a statistical, rather than a natural 
language, approach to indexing the web, these guys have a site with 
constantly updated page content and fresh, accurate query results. 

To run a search on Excite, simply go to their home page at 
<http://www.excite.com/>, enter the information you are looking for 
into the text box labeled "What:" and press the Search button. This 
will display a list of sites pertaining to the topic or words you 
searched for (hopefully), sorted by relevance (higher percentages of 
matches first). You also have the option of listing the results 
according to site. This will list each of the pages that met your 
match along with the host site on which they reside. 

The real power at Excite resides in its "Advanced Search" 
capabilities. Simply click on the advanced search link to get to the 
instructions and query enter page. Excite IS case sensitive. If you 
want to search for Ronald McDonald, you must capitalize both names to 
get the correct search results. You can also perform Boolean searches 
at Excite. These allow the use of AND, AND NOT, OR and Parentheses. 
You will read all about the uses of these "special words" at the 
advanced search area. 

O.K., my personal rating of Excite - 5 stars (out of five), Bertha's - 
4 stars (she says all that red on the page hurts her transistors - 
don't ask). 

Moving on to one of the nicest pieces of software to come out of the 
great northwest in some time - Microsoft's GIF Animator. It's simple, 
it's powerful, and best of all - it's FREE. SuperBill's team have done 
it again. They have come out with a very simple program that is very 
useful in creating animated GIFs for the Internet. If you have ever 
been to a web page and saw a picture moving around, it was probably an 
animated GIF (it could have also been a server-side animation or a 
client-side animation or the massive amount of drugs you took 
earlier). 

Let's assume you have 4 GIFs you would like to animate. You could flip 
through them really fast. You could use your imagination. Or, if you 
have Windows 95, you could download Microsoft's GIF Animator. To 
continue this assumption we're using, let's say you have it installed 
and are ready to make a nifty GIFty (sorry, couldn't resist). We'll go 
through the creation of a simple animation. To really benefit from 
this product, read the help file. It's really there to help. ;-)~ 

1. Open the last GIF by clicking on the "open" button (looks like a 
folder) and selecting the last GIF. 
2. Select the next to last GIF by clicking the "insert" button (paper 
with +) and selecting that GIF. 
3. Repeat until you have inserted all the GIFs you want in your 
animation. 
4. Click on the "Animation" tab to set the properties on the 
animation. 
5. Select "Looping" and "Repeat Forever" check boxes. 
6. Click on the "Image" tab to set the duration of the displayed 
image. 
7. Set the "Duration" to 200 (2 seconds) on each of the images (by 
clicking on the image, it's selected). 
8. Click the "Play" button to see your animation (The > by the ? at 
the top of the program). 
9. Sit back and enjoy your masterpiece. 
10. Look into taking a few art classes. 

That's it! Simple Huh? 

Personal rating? 5 stars (out of five), Bertha's - 5 as well. (Of 
course I would pick something I like for my first article) 

This weeks final topic is Bertha's "skin". Most people who work around 
computers already know what I am talking about, don't you? Those 
"afflicted" with the upgrade bug also know. Bertha's "skin" is the 
computer case cover. This cover is usually held on by four to six 
little screws which can almost never be removed when you need to get 
inside. You will inevitably never have the right tools handy to remove 
these screws and will have to resort to keys, butter knives, tie clips 
or any other imaginable small piece of metal to try to remove them. 
Once they have been removed ten, twenty, nine hundred times, it 
becomes hard to locate all of them. At least one gets lost every few 
times it's removed and you resort to scavenging screws from the power 
supply (why not, you figure, it doesn't need four of them). Pretty 
soon your power supply is "free" of the constricting confines of the 
computer back and can roam freely inside the case. 

Bertha, you see, has become accustomed to this "free" life and 
actually growls when her case is firmly attached. I have come to think 
of her as a bit of an exhibitionist but feel I can do nothing about 
her "naked" appearance. 

Oh well, until next week sports fans, this has been another week in 
the life of Big Bertha and Me.

4=> Product: Gif Animation Studio by Richard Koman
Reviewer: Doug Reed, mailto:dr2web@sprynet.com, MSRP: $39.95

Gif Animation Studio is the first in a series of books to be published 
by O'Reilly and Associates covering various aspects of web design. 
This first book covers the subject of how to create and use animation 
on your website using the GIF89a graphics format. Animated GIFs have 
been all the rage on the web in the last few months, mainly because 
they are relatively easy to generate and require no special software 
(other than the web browser) to run. Richard Koman, former 
editor/writer for Web Review, has compiled what he thinks is the book 
for web designers to create their own animation. If you are interested 
in creating animation for your page and don't know where to start, 
this book is a good place to begin. 

The book comes with a companion CD-ROM that includes all of the 
animation mentioned in the book as well as software for both the 
MacIntosh and the PC. Sadly, all the included programs are either 
shareware or demos. Included are two Mac programs for creating 
animated GIFS, as well as the GIF Construction Set, which is the only 
GIF animation program available for the PC. Also included is a demo 
version of Adobe Photoshop, which is nice to look at but is 
essentially worthless since you can't save your work. This is doubly 
bad because Koman continually refers to creating textures or other 
features for animation with Photoshop - a feat that the reader will 
find impossible unless they own Photoshop, run out and purchase it, or 
have a comparable program. Given the reliance of the author on this 
program, it seems to me to be almost a sin to not give the reader the 
ability to use it; it also seems to be saying "Now that you've bought 
the carrot, you've got to pay more to cook it." Maximizing the 
usefulness of this book will require the services of a full-fledged 
graphics program. I myself use the ABC Graphics Suite by Micrografx, 
and it worked quite well for creating the effects I wanted. 

After the introductory first chapter, the second, third, and fourth 
chapters cover installing and using the three different GIF animation 
programs (2 Macs and 1 PC). The chapters covering the Mac programs 
shouldn't be skipped as they do mention a few tips of creating GIFs. 
Chapter 5 covers how to create GIF graphics files (with Photoshop or 
any other graphics program) as well as issues such as the color 
palette, transparent backgrounds, and interlaced images. Chapter 6 
provides the first real tidbits on ways to create interesting 
animation and effects for your web pages, and chapter 7 follows this 
up with a discussion of how to combine static images with animation. 
Chapter 8 describes how to use textures to provide animation, while 
chapter 9 goes into detail on how the Museum of International Folk Art 
created a "moving" montage of art pictures. In chapter 10 Koman 
describes how to create a morphing A as can be seen on the Voyager 
Company's site (http://www.voyagerco.com). The final example provided 
in chapter 11 is the Hare Krishna cyclotron created by Henrik 
Drescher. The last chapter in the book, Chapter 12, covers how to use 
filters in Photoshop (or any comparable graphics program) to create 
simple animations of static pictures. 

Overall I'd have to give the GIF Animation Studio a Silver Medal. Not 
because the book doesn't provide some great tips about how to create 
animation - it certainly does - but because some many of these 
examples and tips require the use of a program that the reader will 
have to buy in addition to the book. That is necessary a bad thing, 
but it should be at least made clear to the reader before purchasing 
the book that they will require additional software in order to use 
the book properly. I also have a problem with the press release of 
this book; it specifically states: 

"GIF Animation isn't just a love-in for this graphics format. While it 
presents the format's strengths, it also looks at how to deal with its 
weaknesses." 

No where in the book could I find any real discussion of the 
weaknesses of GIF animations, other than that concerning file size and 
the fact that some people don't have browsers that can see animated 
GIFS (like all of those people on America Online). Having extensively 
toured the web I know that the biggest weaknesses with animated GIFS 
are that: a) they tend to wildly overused, and b) looped animations in 
Netscape never stop looping, giving the impression that the page is 
continuously reloading (it also makes it harder to leave the page). 
Koman mentions neither of these topics. If you want the software or 
need tips on animating graphics for your website, check out GIF 
Animation Studio, just beware that you will need a good graphics 
program.

5=> Product: NewsMonger
Reviewed by: Harold Goldstein <dcbiker@goldray.com>
MSRP:$39.95 single user

NewsMonger is a standalone software tool that offers an automatic and 
convenient way to monitor and perform boolean keyword searches of the 
USENET newsgroup world. Basically, you provide the keywords to include 
and exclude, newsgroups to include and exclude, and a desired schedule 
and NewsMonger goes out and uses the AltaVista search engine to 
perform the search. 

NewsMonger supports either dial-up or permanent Internet connections 
and is claimed to work with firewalls using proxy agents or with 
intranets using internal AltaVista engines but I was unable to test 
these latter features. 

Installation: NewsMonger is distributed on a single 3.5" disk; it 
installs via an easy to run setup program. It should find your default 
browser location and your news server but you can specify other 
options if you choose. Installation was quick and smooth. It uses 
about 1 MB of real estate. 

Interface: The first time you run NewsMonger a Search Wizard guides 
you through the process of setting up your initial search. You specify 
your keywords, the search focus (which effects the boolean nature of 
the search), filters to use (include and exclude newsgroup filter, 
exclude keyword filter, exclude subject filter and exclude from 
filter), the maximum age of postings and a maximum number of hits, and 
if you'd like to set up an automatic schedule for future searches and, 
if so, if you'd like email notification of the search output. The 
wizard does the job quite nicely. 

The search focus describes the breadth of the search; a wide focus is 
an OR search and a narrow focus is an all AND search and in between 
allows some ANDS and some ORS. It would be nice if you could just 
simply specify which words to AND and which words to OR directly in 
the wizard. 

Later you may modify these parameters through the Search/Properties 
menu. If the advanced search is chosen in the general window then you 
may enter directly the AltaVista boolean search indicators (simply the 
words AND, OR, NOT and others) but you must refer to the AltaVista 
search page (altavista.digital.com/) to learn the proper syntax. 

The included help facility is fairly complete for the individual 
familiar with Usenet but the novice might need some handholding along 
the way. There is no context sensitive help and the product would 
benefit from that or from a brief tutorial. 

Search Results: The search process is considerably slower than if you 
did the search on AltaVista directly. My test search almost 
instantaneously returned 'about 2000' hits on AltaVista but NewsMonger 
took about 8 minutes to come up with the 500 maximum specified hits. 
True, NewsMonger eliminates duplicate postings and allows sorting in a 
variety of ways but I am not sure this is worth the time penalty for a 
one time search. 

You may click on an individual posting to retrieve it. A built in SMTP 
mail client allows you to respond as a USENET reader would or you can 
choose to link to an external MAPI mail client. It linked smoothly to 
Eudora Pro 2, for example. A built in NNTP News client allow you to 
post your responses to the appropriate Newsgroups. You should also be 
able to use your browsers News client. 

If you choose to have the automated search results emailed to you then 
you may view the resulting html on your web browser. 

NewsMonger would also benefit from a better status indicator. At 
present, all you see is the number of new hits found. There is no way 
to determine the number of newsgroups searched and therefore the 
percentage of the search completed. Indeed, one of my searches seemed 
to be taking an inordinate amount of time; when I 'stopped' the 
search, the program froze and the task had to be ended using the old 3 
finger salute of CTRL-ALT-DEL. A newsgroups searched indicator would 
tell me if there was a problem. 

All in all NewsMonger is a competent program and a useful tool for 
doing repetitive USENET searches. For one time searches the only 
advantage it has over web based engines like DejaNews 
(www.dejanews.com/), AltaVista, Excite (www.excite.com), HotBot 
(www.hotbot.com), and Infoseek (www2.infoseek.com) is that it 
eliminates duplicate listings. But if you need to make minor changes 
in the structure of your search and repeat it many times, or if you 
need to do your search on a regular basis, then you can't beat the 
automated capability of this little tool.

6=> Product: Book, "Inside Windows NT Workstation 4" by Kathy Ivens 
and Bruce Hallberg
Reviewed By: Paul Baker, mailto:pbaker@facstaff.wisc.edu
MSRP $49.99.  Includes CD-ROM.

Windows NT Workstation 4 is a more powerful system than version 3.51. 
Not only does it provide a wider variety of uses, but the NT 4 
interface is very similar to that of Windows 95, making Windows NT 
Workstation 4 easier to use. The new interface should reduce support 
and training costs for organizations that wish to deploy both Windows 
95 and Windows NT Workstation. 

The authors, Kathy Ivens and Bruce Hallberg, aim this book at network 
administrators and users who are responsible for installing and 
administering network systems that include Windows NT workstations. 
Kathy Ivens has been a computer consultant since 1984 and has written 
a number of books on computer subjects. Bruce Hallberg is Director of 
Information Systems for Genelabs Technologies, Inc., a biotechnology 
company in California. He has consulted with a large number of 
companies. 

Their weighty book (1,181 pages) covers basic, intermediate, and 
advanced concepts for NT 4. "Users who are comfortable with earlier 
versions of Windows NT will find the changes in the operating system 
so broad and significant," the authors say, "that even reading about 
basic functions and features will reveal new information. Windows 95 
users will find the interface familiar, but the scope and power of 
Windows NT to be far beyond what they are used to." 

As you probably know, there are two versions of Windows NT: 
Workstation and Server. Both use the same kernel and other low-level 
operating system code, but each contains different add-on features. 
Server runs on a file server, letting many users share the file 
server's resources. Workstation runs on people's desktops as their 
primary desktop operating system. This book explores the desktop 
version. 

Here's a sketch of the book's contents. 
Part I: Introducing Windows NT Workstation 4 covers starting up and 
shutting down, using the Help features, and configuring user profiles. 

Part II: Exploring the Windows NT 4 Desktop covers the taskbar and 
start menu, the desktop icons, explorer, and shortcuts. 

Part III: Configuring Devices explains installing and configuring 
basic hardware and communication devices; working with multimedia; 
configuring memory usage; system services and devices; and installing, 
configuring, and using printers. 

Part IV: Installing and Configuring Applications covers Windows 
applications, non-Windows applications, and the NT 4 Accessories 
package. 

Part V: Networking with NT 4 deals with installing network options, 
accessing other network computers, and using dial-up networking. 

Part VI: Communicating with NT 4 discusses the communications 
accessories, accessing the Internet, Explorer, Microsoft Messaging, 
and using FrontPage to establish a Web site. 

Part VII: Administering NT Workstation 4 discusses security features; 
protecting hardware and backing up data; optimizing performance; and 
using the Event Viewer. 

Part VIII: Understanding Server Features discusses using the Server 
Functions that come with the Workstation operating system and 
understanding your machine's relationship with network servers and 
their functions. 

Part IX: The appendices cover installation, command line commands, 
accessibility options, and installing and changing fonts.

7=> Product: 3D Ultra Pinball, Creep Night
Reviewed By: Bill Frazier, mailto:wfrazier@techline.com
MSRP: $44.95

When Microsoft released Windows 95 I was delighted to find a pinball 
game packaged with the operating system. I was sick of Hearts and 
Solitaire and ready to take on new challenges. I played pinball for 
hours and wore out my first keyboard, but after awhile knew there had 
to be something better than the same old Space Cadet table I'd been 
playing for the past year. When I got the opportunity to review Sierra 
On-Line's 3D Ultra Pinball, Creep Night, I jumped at the chance. 

Creep Night is a pinball players dream. Some of the new features 
introduced in this version are shadows under the ball, animations, 
adjustable gravity, a time limit for multi-player games, digital audio 
soundtrack, variable skill settings, and most important for me, 
gamepad support. I used Microsoft's new Sidewinder Gamepad for my 
controller. Game play was natural with triggers for left and right 
flipper control and plenty of buttons available for table nudge and 
ball launch. 

Installation is a no-brainer. Just insert the CD-ROM and let auto- 
play take over. Creep Night will check your system to determine if it 
meets the minimum requirements. The only decision I had to make was 
which drive I wanted the program installed on. A full installation 
requires 31 MB of hard drive space. 

Creep Night has three different tables to choose from; the Castle 
Table, the Dungeon, Table, and the Tower Table. In addition to the 
three tables found on the menu, there is also at least one hidden 
level (maybe more but I haven't found them yet). Each table contains 
five challenges. You must complete all five challenges on each of the 
three tables to advance to the fourth bonus table. Sounds easy, but 
each table is a game in itself. Mastering all three tables takes luck, 
skill, and patience. 

The challenges in the Castle Table are the Vortex, the Wraith, the 
Zombie, the Run-away Goblin, and the Magic Goblins. To initiate any of 
the challenges you must light up the proper table light and shoot the 
ball through the castle gate. The Vortex challenge is a multi- ball 
challenge. Each successful shot into the vortex scores 5 million 
points for each ball in play. The Zombie Challenge requires that you 
knock down all three zombies. Not too hard, but once you knock down 
the first zombie you only have a few seconds to hit the other two 
before the first one gets back up. The Run-away Goblin is a little 
green guy riding around in what looks like an ATV. This little sucker 
zips around the table while you try to smash him with the ball. The 
longer you take the fewer points you get. The Magic Goblins are a 
bunch of the green guys appearing at various points on the table. When 
you hit one, another pops up somewhere else. If you're fortunate 
enough to hit seven of them you score a huge bonus. The most difficult 
challenge for me on this table is the Wraith challenge. The Wraith is 
like a black hole. If the ball passes near her she pulls it to her and 
the ball is gone. 

If you're fortunate to finish the five challenges, gold and silver 
keys will begin to appear at various locations on the table. If you 
can hit five keys a window will appear in the center of the table. 
Shoot a ball through the window and you get to a bonus game. The bonus 
game on the Castle table is a shooting gallery, where you can pop off 
a bunch of the little nasties that gave you such a hard time. You can 
earn a huge bonus score if you're a good shot. Each of the other two 
tables give you five more challenges similar to those encountered on 
the Castle table. The Tower table introduces the Beast challenge, the 
Run-away Rat challenge (sounds kind of like the Run-away Goblin), the 
Energy Gate challenge, the Dynamo challenge, and the Pop-up Goblin 
challenge. The Dungeon table contains the Gobbler challenge, the 
Spider challenge, the Trap Door challenge, the Skeleton challenge, and 
the Catapult challenge. Although the challenges on each table are 
patterned after those found on the Castle table, there are enough 
differences to make them entertaining. 

The thing I like about pinball the most is you never really finish the 
game. You can finish all the challenges, shoot down all the targets, 
play the hidden table if your really good, and score the highest 
score. But the next time you play that new high score is there staring 
you in the face, and you just know you can beat it, maybe.
