Mac Web Tools
These tools all run on our
Power Computing Mac
clones (system 7.5.3 and counting).
- We compose HTML with
BBEdit 4.0,
a text editor with several useful features, including a code validator, tag
balancing, syntax coloring, and customized macros.
- When the document is ready to go up on our SPARC
Apache server (chez our
service provider, GeoNet),
Fetch
3.0.1 meets our ftp needs
- When the net is tangled,
Mac
TCP Watcher helps us locate the snags and trace net routes to other
addresses.
- Once the page is up, we look it over using the
Netscape
Navigator Gold 3.0 browser (enhanced by
Shockwave
and RealAudio plugins,
which can be downloaded as
shareware and
decompressed with
Stuffit Expander).
- NCSA
Telnet gets us over to the
WeLL, which relies on picospan for
text-based conferencing. We confer over the
web, too, and are very pleased to host
Transaction Net conferences on the
Motet site.
- GraphicConverter (for image editing), GIFConverter 2.3.7 (for building animations from .gifs), Adobe Illustrator 6.0 (for illustrating, of course), and Director
5 (for synchronized interactive multimedia) help us build multimedia
functionality into the site.
