Subject: [*] eScan 1.02
eScan is a Macintosh utility that provides facilities for the scanning
of email messages, and the recognition, extraction and processing of
embedded electronic form data. This is achieved by the provision of a
software interface between the database product FileMaker Pro and the
email program Eudora. The package has been especially oriented for use
with web forms.
eScan will either scan email messages on command or when informed of the
arrival of new mail by Eudora. Any Eudora mailbox may be specified and a
choice made whether to scan read or unread mail. For each email message
that eScan reads, it determines if it contains embedded form data. If it
does, then information about the message is extracted, either from the
body of the email message or from an attached document, and a list of
'found' messages constructed. These listed messages may then be
displayed, printed, transferred or processed.
The processing of a form firstly involves the extraction of the data
contained in the form, (if the data is in 'mailto' format ie. url
encoded, then it is firstly decoded). If a FileMaker Pro database has
been specified for the form, then the extracted data may be written to
that file or used to extract data from an existing database record. If a
template email reply has been defined, then the template is merged with
aspects of the extracted data to generate a customised reply. Reply
messages may also, optionally contain outgoing attachments.
Requirements
The following environment is required by eScan -
a) System version 7.5 or later.
b) The scriptable Finder (as supplied with System 7.5 onwards).
Helper Applications
eScan uses the following products -
a) Eudora Light, version 1.5.1 onwards.
b) Eudora Pro, all versions.
c) FileMaker Pro, version 2.1 onwards.

Subject: [*] The Slippy Stack
This is an animation about that dumb frog in StarFox 64. If you
don't own StarFox 64 or haven't played it then this animation
probably won't be that funny. You'll need HyperCard 2.x to view it
or HyperCard player. It has some violence in it.
