Web browser, Netscape Communicator 6.1

I've used Netscape since the 1.0 days. I would still use it almost exclusively if it were stable. Most of these pages were originally done in with Netscape Composer. Although I seldom use it any more for that. I've mostly outgrown it, while it still is big bulky and very slow loading. I

HTML Interdev 6.0 and .NET 1.0 

I use lots of editors, depending on what I'm trying to do. But these days Interdev is used most of all, The ease of going from WYSIWYG to Source code to View is what has me hooked. It works well with my very slow laptop also,

News and Mail, Forté Agent 1.93

I use this program, for almost all my mail and usenet news, and am a Beta tester for it.  It has been in a constant evolution ever since I started using it. The biggest strength it has is its anti-spam capabilities. It is primarily billed as an off-line news reader. As an E-mail program it has filtering and sort into folders capabilities . The editor is not very sophisticated, but it does have spell checking. learning and setting up the filters can be confusing, and difficult. But the elimination of spam make this a rewarding task. There is a manual being worked on by the good folks at Forté but at this time it is nonexistent. A user is does have excellent help files and a couple of FAQs at their disposal. Agent automatically converts to  Free Agent after a trial period, It doesn't have mail, filtering,  nor a host of other great features. But, It does a good job of getting e-mail and fetching binary UUE post of the news groups. It is a great way to try out the way Agent does things, before you cough up the $29.95. You can get both Agent  and Free Agent at ftp.forteinc.com . You will have to pay for the key to get Agent  to run though. More information can be found at http://www.forteinc.com .

Forte is currently working in Version 2.0 to be released "real soon now:"  I am looking forward to using this looong wating Version.

If you are a current user (Free) Agent and are looking for help you might find what you are looking for here:

  PGP 6.58 CKT 

  I use an unauthorized version of PGP. This particular versio is is no longer supported by FAid, but it suits my needs just fine. The current version is 8.0 and is available for free.  I reccomend PGP and its GPG cousin.  I prefer to accept mail as  PGP encoded.  A search for Ghengus Khan on the most common key servers will find me. My public key is also on link below.. I don't receive nor encode mail often. But this is handy to have when you need it J

Ghengus Khan's Public Key

This represents "The Lost Byte". But is not all inclusive .of all the software and hardware that is here. It is not a tutorial on any of the software., but it is what seems to work here for me. There are some topics I hope to expand on, but if I waited till I was finished this page would never be posted.. I have also considered extending mIRC and Agent to their own pages with some tutorial information.. I suspect that mIRC will be coming out with a new version soon and Agent will have a new manual released within a few weeks. There are many pages right now. that cover these programs. Please give me feedback on how you might want this page to evolve. Loaded on this machine is image editing software, Visual Studio and other programming software and many other programs. I hope at some point I will be able to explain and review more of these programs.
