What does MacHeadlines do?
MacHeadlines is a specialized Internet browser that gathers and displays
headlines from web sites around the world. It puts up a floating window
where the headlines scroll by. Double-clicking a headline will open your
browser to show the full story.

It can also track web pages, showing when they have changed.

MacHeadlines uses a built-in parsing engine, which describes the format
of web pages, and ÒteachesÓ MacHeadlines which parts of the incoming
HTML page are the headlines.

Since the format of web pages may change, MacHeadlines sometimes
displays more information than you might want (or even less than what
you expect), but itÕs still much better than having to launch your
browser every time you want the news headlines...

Currently, the limit is 32 Tracked Web Sites, and a total of no more
than 100 headlines.

NOTE: At this time, MacHeadlines does not support HTML frames. this
means web pages that are comprised by including or referring to other
web pages are not parsed for headlines.

Requirements
¥ Mac OS 7.5.1 or better.
¥ Open Transport 1.1 or better.
¥ For headline launching, Internet Config 2.x or the Internet Control
Panel (available with Mac OS 8.5 or better) are required.
