TidBITS#268/20-Mar-95
=====================
 
The main news this week is Apple's release of the System 7.5
   Update 1.0, which updates a System 7.5 Mac so it thinks it is
   running 7.5.1, along with updates to QuickDraw GX, LaserWriter,
   and some new PowerTalk gateways. We also have news about what
   happened to DeskPicture, a program that has enhanced countless
   thousands of desktops over the years, and - finally -  we bring
   you a look at SATAN, which has caused one of the latest
   Internet controversies.

------------------
  We continue to worry about the mega-long URLs that result when we
  try to point people at Apple's FTP sites, because the return
  characters they contain tend to cause problems when people copy
  and paste them into other programs. As a result, we're going to
  try enclosing URLs that span more than a single line in <angle
  brackets>, just as we do with email addresses, machine names,
  newsgroup names in running text. This won't make the return
  characters go away, but will alert you to their existence.
