You may also choose all states. There is a set number of questions and you are scored for each one. There is also a zany bonus question that will add 5 points to the score for that question. When all the questions have been completed the average score is configured and you are given a rank. The ranks are Novice, Learner, Master Learner, Junior Historian, Historian, Senior Historian, Master Historian, and Einstein. Also on the score screen there are two buttons that lets you choose to play the same level again or advance to the next level. The great pictures and ease of use makes this game not only educational but also fun. It is easy enough for people who are just learning but can be difficult enough for history buffs.

BigSpeed Secure Socket Library
By BigSpeed Computing Inc.
BigSpeed Secure Socket Library is an ActiveX control that dramatically simplifies and accelerates the development of proprietary communication solutions over the Internet. It implements a flexible message-oriented protocol on top of a single TCP connection. The transfered data are scrambled using on-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption with random session keys, without need of SSL certificates. The security is provided in two different modes: symmetric encryption with shared secret key and asymmetric encryption with 1024-bit public/private keys. Transport level authentication is available with optional digital fingerprints or secret keys. Building a virtual private application network is just a matter of setting the same crypto key on two or more sites. BigSpeed Secure Socket Library can be used both on client and server side, with centralized management of all connections. Information is exchanged through typed data packets identified by a command code. The library takes care of all low-level tasks: packetizing/depacketizing, compression/decompression, encryption/decryption, sending, receiving, buffer congestion and flow control. There is support for automatic DNS name resolution and SOCKS proxy servers. BigSpeed Secure Socket Library utilizes an elegant event-driven paradigm for easy integration into Windows applications. A special attention is paid to provide responsive user interface while maintaining maximum bandwidth efficiency. Carefully designed set of properties, methods, and events offers great flexibility to develop innovative communication software. Sample applications for chat, alert messaging, and file transfer are included in Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET, and Delphi 7.
AMI GIF Elements 1
By Alchemy Mindworks
Elements #1 adds new magic to AMI GIF Construction Set Pro, the powerful web page animation software. Make your pages leap from the monitors of the people who surf them, fling pixels about the room and teleport some of your users to alternate parallel universes with this exciting plugin set - your mileage may vary. The Elements #1 plugin set includes RIPPLE - raindrops will fall across the surface of your graphics; LAKE - reflect your images in a realistic animated body of water (looks great for sunsets, and somewhat less believable for rhinoceroses); PAGE CURL - display a stack of still images which transition through three-dimensional curling paper; PYROTECHNICS - add fireworks to your web page; LENS - watch as a virtual magnifying glass wanders across your pictures (avoid operating heavy machinery after doing so for a prolonged period.) Registering Elements #1 for GIF Construction Set Pro also registers Elements #1 for PNG/MNG Construction Set.
