GetRight & WinZIP Updates
GetRight improves on the ability of your web browser's built in downloading by supporting graceful error recovery, download resuming, download acceleration, scheduling, and many other advanced downloading features. - New version 4.5e
WinZip brings the convenience of Windows to the use of Zip files and other compression formats. The optional wizard interface makes zipping and unzipping easier than ever. WinZip features built-in support for CAB files and for popular Internet file formats such as TAR, gzip, UUencode, BinHex, and MIME. ARJ, LZH, and ARC files are supported via external programs. WinZip interfaces to most virus scanners. New Version: WinZIP 8.1 Service Release 1
New in GetRight 4.5e:
The main difference is that the option for Gator in the installer has been removed.
Size sorting was broken.
Button for entering the registration code on the About window didn't work.
The "Recent Finished Files" (And "Recent Finished URLs") on the Download Status menus weren't always refreshing right.
A few other small bugs fixed.
New in WinZIP SR1:
The change addresses a vulnerability that is already properly handled, as of WinZip 8.0, for Zip files; WinZip 8.1 SR-1 addresses it for the other archive types supported by WinZip, such as TAR and CAB.
WinZip will now warn you if you attempt to open any archive that uses a parent folder (that is, "..") specification for any of the files that it contains. The reason for the warning is that extraction from such an archive could allow files to be extracted to locations outside of the folder tree that you have specified for the extraction. A malicious individual who created such an archive and convinced you to extract its contents could exploit this to overwrite important files elsewhere on your system.

Nvidia Stopping Production Of GeForce 4 Ti 4600
According to Anton of Xbitlabs.com, Nvidia is stopping production of their top-of-the-line Geforce4 Ti 4600 card as it is trying to push its AGP8X cards in market. This report comes in the anticipation of Nvidia announcing NV30 in two to three weeks. So far Geforce 4 Ti 4200 (8x) are the only ones to be available in stores (if this report is true).
This report doesn't sound rumour as GeForce4 Ti 4600 doesn't perform well (even though Nvidia has been bombarding (read "leaking") Detonators to push its card close to ATI's 9700. If you go by the review ratio then nothing can beat the popularity of Geforce 4 Ti 4200 as it seems to have hit the sweet spot of price vis-a-vis performance ratio. Personally I think it's priced too heavy for me, and I will always be thinking like that.

96181 2002-11-05 10:43:00 They seem to have done a good job of improving Eudora's startup time. The long wait with previous versions was the main reason I went back to 3 Lite. bmason (508)
