Ectool email chess program review (from page 51)<br />
have to go to the Tools menu, bring up<br />
the right part of the game data window<br />
and change the Result marker from “*” for<br />
ongoing game to 1-0, 0-1 or ½-½.<br />
<strong>Mail</strong> managing<br />
Ectool expects to be connected direct<br />
to your POP and SMTP servers. In theory,<br />
you could use it to generate the messages<br />
and then cut-and-paste them into an<br />
ordinary email program. Andres Valverde<br />
warns however that AOL users cannot get<br />
full value from his program: “AOL doesn’t<br />
support SMTP and POP3 mail protocols.<br />
Don’t ask me why, ask them.”<br />
Ectool facilitates management by<br />
asking you to mark message headers for<br />
download. I connect first with Ectool and<br />
see what messages are waiting. I get the<br />
ones which are obviously chess moves<br />
and leave the others on the server. Then<br />
I upload any moves I have queued and<br />
check the rest of my mail with Eudora.<br />
I strongly recommend not making<br />
instant reply moves while online and so<br />
I don’t look at the incoming messages<br />
until I have finished my email session.<br />
(I have found, under Windows 98, that<br />
Ectool frequently freezes if I try to look<br />
at the new messages while Eudora is<br />
checking mail.)<br />
The mail windows are the part of<br />
Ectool I like least. You can reorder the<br />
inbox by sender or date, but I think the<br />
program badly needs to indicate when<br />
an incoming message is unread, or read<br />
but not answered.<br />
Ectool runs under Windows 3.1x, 95,<br />
98, NT and 2,000. It is shareware so you<br />
can try before you buy; at move 20, you<br />
cannot save the game any more and must<br />
register to continue. The price is quite<br />
cheap (15 Euros) and once you have<br />
paid, you get free upgrades. You can buy<br />
at the website http://www.ectool.nu/<br />
which has a lot of other information.<br />
The program is available in English,<br />
Spanish, French, German, Italian, Catalan<br />
and Portuguese. Current versions are:<br />
6.00 for Win 95/98/NT; version 3.00 for<br />
Windows 3.1x. (shareware) and ECTool<br />
lite (16 bit) is free.<br />
