This will allow Internet dwellers to use one tool for complete Internet access instead of five or six. The Cyberdog package includes tools for E-mail, WWW, Gopher, FTP, Usenet News, and Internet search capabilities. Also included are graphic viewers and various translators. Apple is not attempting to dictate which Internet tools Macintosh people should use. Cyberdog is essentially a collection of pieces working together as one program.
Users are free to remove or replace any piece they wish.
Apple hopes Cyberdog will allow users to access the various parts of the Internet more easily. One feature that should help is the File Transfer section. A user need only drag a file from Cyberdog to the Desktop to retrieve the file. The transfer then begins automatically and the file appears on the Desktop. The E-mail section of Cyberdog supports MIME and binhex encoding automatically.
