Stockpile Manager
From: Brian S Hall (moseshll@umich.edu)
Subject: Open-source Collection Mgr clone
I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Stockpile
Manager, a free open-source replacement (in C) for the Apple's Collection
Manager.
The Stockpile Manager duplicates the entire Collection Manager API. All you
have to do is replace the word 'Collection' with 'Stockpile', so
GetNewCollection becomes GetNewStockpile. Note, however, that I have not
done any reverse-engineering. Internal formats are different, so you can't
pass a Collection to the Stockpile Manager, and vice versa. The flattened
data format *is* documented, so flattened objects are compatible between
the two.
The Stockpile Manager is built on top of VArrayLib, my free open-source
variable array engine. VArrayLib is also available from my web site (see
below) and is necessary to compile the Stockpile Manager.
Why did I write this thing? Because I don't like to see older machines,
with pre-8.5 systems or without QuickDraw GX...
Blugs public beta
From: Brian S Hall (moseshll@umich.edu)
Subject: 'Blugs' (List Manager replacement) public beta
All Mac OS developers are invited to participate in beta testing a new Mac
OS List Manager replacement called 'Blugs'. Blugs goes far beyond List
Manager functionality, as should be apparent from this partial feature list:
* The amount of data that can be stored in a Blugs list is limited only by
available memory. The Mac OS List Manager is limited to 32KB of data.
* Many library variants: PowerPC Carbon and pre-Carbon, 68k A5 and A4,
Pascal and debug. All libraries do extensive parameter checking; the debug
libraries additionally report errors and warnings.
* Blugs only requires 32-bit GWorld support (System 7 and later). It uses
advanced OS features like the Appearance Manager and the Allegro (OS 8.5)
Control Manager only when available.
* Built-in support for vertical and horizontal title bars.
* You can load lists entirely from resources. This includes cell and title
data.
* Up to 65535...

MGI's Tax Miscalculation Sale
For Immediate Release
31 July 2000
Announcing the First Annual Tax Miscalculation Sale on MGI
Given that MGI has done so well this past fiscal year, and given that the
US corporate tax laws are draconian and completely incomprehensible, we are
having our First Annual Tax Miscalculation Sale on MGI.
I underestimated our federal corporate income taxes by almost $40,000 for
the past fiscal year and need to pay them before the feds seize my wife and
force her into slave trade.
So because I messed up the calculations, you win. (And you really don't
want to know what the total tax is -- it is staggering. Where is that
Republican Congress when we really need them?)
Before of groveling in front of an IRS collections agent, a bank loan
officer, or my dear mother who is clothed in loincloth barely subsisting on
bread, water, and insects, I want to sell ninety (90) copies of MGI Deluxe
Multi-Domain at half price.
And I will sell MGI Deluxe Multi-Domain at half price until I have sold 90

Power On Software Announces Rewind
Power On Allows Users to Rewind(tm) to Happier Time
Rewind Protects Against Catastrophes, Disasters, and Mistakes
In a Bind? Just Rewind! (sm)
Columbus, Ohio - July 12, 2000 - Power On Software announced today the
development of Rewind, an amazing and innovative software technology
breakthrough. Rewind protects against catastrophes, disasters, and user
error that can spell the difference between success or failure, and
adulation or humiliation. Rewind, based on several new patent-pending
technologies, gets users out of a bind by permitting them to merely click
the program's Rewind button. The software then magically transports the
user back to the instant before the problem occurred.
Rewind is scheduled to make its world debut at Macworld Expo in New York
City on July 19th. Power On Software, will be providing hands-on
demonstrations of the new software, in Booth #749 at the Jacob Javits
Center. Visitors can stop by and see how Rewind can reverse even the
bleakest-looking situations...
