A few people told me, that my previous submission in 2 parts (manual and
examples) was bad, so I have compressed it with Compact Pro, and put both
examples and manual together in one file.

The title should describe the contents. This archive contains the After
Dark programmers manual, and a few examples. Downloaded from AOL and
distributed with permission from Berkeley Systems.

Subject: aete resource for HyperCard 2.1

Here is an "aete" (Apple Events Text to English) resource for
Hypercard 2.1.  Add it to the HC 2.1 application using ResEdit,
or one of HyperCard's resource moving tools, then reboot and
rebuild the DeskTop.  It provides basic AppleScript-awareness
for HyperCard 2.1.  Work with a copy;  use it at your own risk.

An easy (and inexpensive) way to get AppleScript is to purchase
the book "The Tao of AppleScript", ISBN 1-56830-075-1, published
by Hayden Books for BMUG.  It lists for US$24.95.

AppMaker 1.5 DEMO
by Bowers Development
Requires Mac Plus or later, System 6.0 or later

This is a demo version of AppMaker, a human interface generator.

(Also included is "AppMaker/Prototyper," an analysis by Bowers of the
features and differences between AppMaker and Prototyper.  This and the
AppMaker documentation is in Glue format.  AppleLink, Glue Viewer, or
Super Glue are required to read it.)

Excerpts from the ReadMe file:

AppMaker is an application for generating the user interface, and the
source code behind it, for a new or existing Macintosh application.
AppMaker saves development time and cuts drudgery by letting you create
menus, windows, dialogs, and alerts just by clicking and dragging to
arrange what you want on the screen.  With one command, AppMaker
automatically generates the source code for the user interface you've
designed, for selected modules, or for the entire application. You can
choose either C or Pascal, for MPW or THINK language systems. In
addition to traditional programming languages, AppMaker supports
object-oriented programming using the THINK Class Library in either C
or Pascal, as well as MacApp 2.0 using C++ or Pascal and MacApp 3.0
using C++.

All of these demo files can be copied and used by you or others to
evaluate the AppMaker application.

For more information about AppMaker, contact Bowers Development Corp.
at the address listed below.  AppMaker's suggested retail price is
$299; it comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee and free technical
support.  To compile and link AppMaker-generated source code, you must
also have an MPW or THINK language system and enough memory and disk
space to meet the requirements of the language system.

Notice to moderators:  This is the third time I am trying to upload this file.

A while ago I submitted a request for a Resource detective that would allow me
to edit resorces so that I could easily localize a piece of software.  I found
this utility on AppleLink and so far as I know, it is freeware.

What is Localization?

Localizing means adapting a file to a specific country and/or a specific language.

So localization may consist of:
-    Translating program resources
-    Translating documentation
-    Adapting the file to country specific units of measure, currency sign, date formats, etc.
-    Adapting the program to language specific writing rules
-    Other file specific localization needs

Fortunately, Macintosh programs are (or should be!) written to minimize the
efforts of localization.  The Macintosh OS is built to provide both language
independent procedures to aid in supporting different writing rules, and to
give the application access to country specific symbols, formats, etc.
Therefore localizing a Macintosh file will generally consist of just two
distinct steps:
-    Translating documentation
-    Translating file resources

While translating documentation can be a lengthy process, it is a fairly
straight forward step, typically using a single word processor.  Translating
resources however can be a cumbersome time consuming step in the localization
process.
AppleGlot has been designed to make the job of translating resources easier
and more time efficient.

Subject: AppleScripts for THINK six 1.1.sit.hqx
From: Reinder Verlinde <[e-mail]>
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 93 19:11:39 +0100




These are three AppleScripts for use in combination with THINK 6.0 or
6.0.1. They require THINK Project Manager 6.0 or 6.0.1 and the Apple
Event Manager to run. To edit them you also need a Script Editor.

"Set THINK Options" is an utility to set the compiler options of
projects dropped on it. This is convenient when you have a
multi-project project (no pun intended) and want to set the 68881,
68020 etcetera options. Unfortunately it only makes it possible to
set or get _all_ the options related to a certain translator. THINK's
interface to get and set the individual switches is rather poor.

"THINK Bring Up to Date" is a droplet which opens and brings up to
date projects dropped on to it.

"THINK Remove Objects" is a droplet which does a "Remove Objects" on
projects dropped on to it.

These scripts may be freely modified and distributed as long as this
accompanying documentation is included and modifications are clearly
indicated. I specifically give permission to distribute them on the
Infomac and Arizona Macintosh User group CD's.


Revision history:

1.0 (931018)
   Initial release
1.1 (931117)
   Added phrase launch application "THINK Project Manager"

I specifically give permission to distribute them on the Infomac CD.

Also included is a partial patch to THINK's project manager to disable the 'open
which project' dialog box at startup, which does interfere with scripting. It
doesn't quite work yet, but I haven't got the time to improve on this, so I just
include it as a clue for other hackers.

#### BINHEX     attributor-10.hqx   ****

Date: Sat, 22 May 93 13:16:59 +0200
From: [e-mail] ( Rodella-Morena)
Subject: [*] Attributor 1.0

Attributor is an advanced programmer's utility designed to
make life easier for programmers. Since Think C does not
provide a way to set the CODE resource attributes directly
(things like "purgeable" or "preload") and because most of
my applications want to unload the initialization segment, I
wrote this utility to stop going into ResEdit all the time.
Also, Think C does not make the SIZE -1 resource purgeable
as it should be.
Attributor can change the resource attributes of a specific
resource or of a whole resource family in a single pass.
Just create an ATTR resource inside Attributor with ResEdit
and modify it to meet your needs (there's a resource
template in the application as well).

Enclosed is a browser like program. I was toying with the idea of making
a browser like library that programmers could use. In about four hours
this is what I came up with. Obvious things still need to be added
(like the finder's triangles) but I don't know if its worth the effort. If
you think you would like a program like this or could use a library like
this, email me and I'll see if there is a big enough response.

This runs on system seven only for now.

From: [e-mail]
Subject: Buttoneer: code resource to add fancy buttons to your programs

This program is copyright, but free.  See the distribution
details at the end of this document.

One of the (few) nice things about HyperCard is how
easily new types of buttons can be defined.
With Buttoneer it is almost as easy for programmers to
define a new type of button that will work in a standard
Macintosh application.  The hardest part of making a
new button is the artwork itself.

All you need to do is to create one or more 'PICT' resources,
create a control using the Buttoneer 'CDEF' and give it a
refCon that indicates which 'PICT' resource to use.
Buttoneer will add the refCon to the current control
value and use the result as a resource ID to obtain a
PICT handle.  That is what the control will look like.
In other words the control's appearance is completely
arbitrary.  Since the appearance is also determined
by the control's value you can make "check boxes" or
"radio controls" that look like anything.

Buttoneer and Buttoneer Demo are copyright ) 1991
by Christopher Eliot.
The Buttoneer Demo may be distributed by any means
as long as the "ReadMe" document accompanies it.
The Buttoneer CDEF may be used in any program
provided that the program or its documentation credits
Christopher Eliot as the author of Buttoneer.

Disclaimer: Buttoneer was written in half a
day when I was too sick to do anything else.

Subject: Kamprath CDEF Pack v1.1

This submission should replace any previous "Kamprath CDEF Pack," and should be
placed in the development section.

This archive contains 2 CDEFs plus a sampler program to demostrate their use.
One CDEF allows icon families to be used to define a pushbutton's (or plain
button's) looks.  The CDEF will automatically plot the proper icon depending on
the monitor depth.  The other CDEF allows a "point and click" method for
entering dates.  This CDEF is compatible with _any_ date and time format as
setup in the Date & Time control panel.

This package require System 7 or later.

Subject: [*] cdevEloper 1.0

cdevEloper is a function key that works inside ResEdit 2.1
or later (Alessandro only tested it under 2.1.1). It is
intended for control panel developers looking for a way to
check the panel's rectangles while adjusting its dialog
items.
cdevEloper reads the 'nrct' -4064 resource in the file being
edited by ResEdit and draws the corresponding control panel
rectangles in the frontmost window (which must be a 'DITL'
editor window). It also paints a gray rectangle that shows
the size of the old System 6 control panel window (if you
want your control panel to run under System 6 you'll have to
make your nrct's fit in there).

Subject: CompRes 1.1
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 93 12:30:37 EDT

CompRes is a Programmer's tool which allows nearly transparent
runtime resource decompression. This means that you can-for example-
compress your PICT or other large resources at compile time and
have them decompressed at runtime.

CompRes is shareware and there is plenty of on-line help.

This application is a demo which shows you exactly how much disk space
you'll save by compressing your resources. And, although this demo is
System 7.0 dependent, the CompRes runtime decompression is quite robust
and works under System 6 and later (and probably under most of the older
system versions too!).

This version of the demo adds significant features including:
drag-n-drop, on-line help, an improved status window, and support for
Apple Events.

Check it out. The demo is free. You only pay if you actually use CompRes
in one of your projects.
And feel free to send me your questions and comments at:

CompRes is a Shareware Programmer's tool which allows nearly
transparent run-time resource decompression.

With CompRes, you can compress and decompress your resources
using the LZSS compression technology. This application is only
part of the package. With the program included, you can compress
your resources and see how well this compression technique will
do for you. I'm sure you'll find that if you're compressing PICT
or animation resources, you'll achieve very close to a 50% savings
in disk space. Run-time Decompression is quite quick and the
whole compression scheme can save plenty of disk space, especially
for graphics.

Anyhow, try it out. If you have any questions or comments, you can
contact me (the Author) via e-mail. My Address is in the documentaion.

(second attempt. sorry, my modem hung up on me)

Dear Moderators,

        a few days ago, I submitted Dynamic Math 1.0. Needless to say,
two small bugs crept up that I needed to fix. Here comes version 1.0.1
to replace Dynamic Math 1.0

Please forward a copy to mac.archive.umich.edu if possible.

Thank you very much,
Christian Franz

Dynamic Math (DM)
=================

DM is a library for THINK Pascal/THINK C programmers. It converts (parses)
and evaluates (interprets) formulas written in ASCII (i.e. Strings) during
runtime. This means you can evaluate the string '100*sin(x)/ln(x^2)' or
any other string you got (for example from a dialog). Obvious uses are
for testing and visualizing formulas.

DM 1.0 supports two independent variables and a wide array of standard
functions like sin, cos, tan, exp, trunc, sgn, ln, round, random etc.

DM is small (about 4K) and although no speed demon (it's still interpreted)
it's reasonable fast.

DM is postcardware for any non-commercial use including writing of freeware
programs.


Version 1.0.1 fixes two small bugs in the parser.

I hope you like it.

Cheers,
Christian.

The following 5 messages comprise a binhexed, self-extracting archive
of the mac port of f2c, the fortran to C/C++ converter.  This sumbission
corrects an incompatibility problem with many debinhex programs.  Please
combine the 5 files and post, replacing the old f2c program.

This port of the f2c program was developed (not by me!) for the Think C
environment.  Current project files are Think C 6.0/ThinkC++ version.
I'm just learning the nuances of this port myself, so questions/problems
are better send to [e-mail] rather than to me.  (Remember,
sign up with think-c-request)

Thanks again to all who helped me find the program in the first place.

Subject: Fast Performance Trig Functions (1/6)


Dear Moderators,

  below please find a compacted and binhexed archive to put on your
ftp machine.

Fast Performance Trig - A tool for programmers

FastPerfTrig is a library for THINK Pascal or THINK C programmers to
speed up their trigonometric calculations (namely sine, cosine and
tangens). FastPerfTrig uses look-up tables (as resources) to accomplish
speeds that are close to that of a FPU.
Usage is pretty simple: include the library in your project and there
you are. C programmers first have to convert the interface file to
C headers. If anyone of you C hackers out there has done this, please
email it to me so I can include it into an upcoming version.

FastPerfTrig is free for any non-commercial use. Please see the documentation.

Cheers,
Christian

Subject: [*] Find Fat Projects 1.0

Find Fat Projects is a little utility designed to make life
easier for Think C programmers. All it does is to scan any
folder or disk you drop on it and make a list of all
projects that happen to be larger than 15K. A large project
usually has objects in it, and since objects take lots of
disk space you may want to remove them before making backup
copies (or just to free some disk space). If you only have a
couple of projects this is not a problem, but if you have
some more of them Find Fat Projects will help you a lot.

Finder Scripting Toolkit v1.0
Freeware by Daniel Ranson

Internet  : [e-mail]
AppleLink : RANSON
CalvaCom  : DR12

Finder Scripting Toolkit is an alternative to the FinderLib provided with
AppleScript. It gives AppleScript access to the full Finder (7.0, 7.1)
Apple Events suite, does not require an aete resource for recompilation,
and has a very low memory overhead. It is expected that script writers will
copy the handlers they need to their own scripts. The handlers are
independant of each other, making this easy.

Finder Scripting Toolkit includes :

- Finder Scripting Toolkit, a Script Editor document with full sources,
containing the scripts. Look at the comments in there for a full
documentation. The scripts may be freely copied and reused.

- fwin coercion osax folder, containing fwin coercion, a scripting addition
that is needed by some handlers. The full source in MPW C is provided. The
osax may be freely redistributed with scripts that need it.

- View by name, an example of the use of Finder Scripting Toolkit. This
droplet changes all folders in a hierarchy to view by name.

Requires AppleScript.

and
* some sample formats.


What's new in 1.0.1?
* The number parts palette is now resized when the keyboard script is changed,
to accomodate different application font sizes and a different number of
unquoted literals.
* The examples are now updated when the keyboard script is changed, even if the
format contains an error.
* Now supports Cut/Copy/Paste/Clear commands for the edit text field.

Subject: 3d GrafSys 1.21 in incoming directory


Dear Moderators,

  in incoming please find a compact pro archive of a set of programming
tools I've written. It is called 3d-GrafSys-1.21 and should replace
the file grafsys1.2.cpt.hqx in programming/source.

If possible, please copy the 3d GrafSys and this short description to
sumex-aim since I have problem splitting and sending the program via
email.

A 3d GrafSys short description follows:

********

Programmers 3D GrafSys Vers 1.21 now available.

Version 1.21 is mainly a bugfix for THINK C users. THIS VERSION
NOW RUNS WITH THINK C, I PROMISE! The Docs now contain a chapter for
C programmers on how to use the GrafSys. If you have problems, feel free
to contact me.
The other change is that I removed the FastPerfTrig calls from
the FPU version to make it run faster.

Those of you who don't know what all this is about, read on.

********

Programmers 3D GrafSys -- What it is:
-------------------------------------

Didn't you always have this great game in mind where you needed some way of
drawing three-dimensional scenes?

Didn't you always want to write this program that visualized the structure
of three-dimensional molecules?

And didn't the task of writing your 3D conversions routines keep you from
actually doing it?

Well if the answer to any of the above questions is 'Yes, but what has it to
do with this package???' , read on.

GrafSys is a THINK Pascal/C library that provides you with simple routines
for building, saving, loading (as resources), and manipulating
(independent rotating around arbitrary achses, translating and scaling)
three dimensional objects. Objects, not just simple single-line drawings.

GrafSys supports full 3D clipping, animation and some (primitive) hidden-
line/hidden-surface drawing with simple commands from within YOUR PROGRAM.

GrafSys also supports full eye control with both perspective and parallel
projections (If you can't understand a word, don't worry, this is just showing
off for those who know about it. The docs that come with it will try to explain
what it all means later on).

GrafSys provides a powerful interface to supply your own drawing routines with
data so you can use GrafSys to do the 3D transformations and your own routines
to do the actual drawing. (Note that GrafSys also provides drawing routines so
you don't have to worry about that if you don't want to)

GrafSys 1.11 comes in two versions. One for the 881 and 020 or above
processors. The other version uses fixed-point arithmetic and runs on any Mac.
Both versions are *100% source compatibel*.

GrafSys comes with an extensive manual that teaches you the fundamentals of 3D
graphics and how to use the package.

If demand is big enough I will convert the GrafSys to an object-class library.
However, I feelt that the way it is implemented now makes it easier to use for
a lot more people than the select 'OOP-Guild'.

GrafSys is free for any non-commercial usage. Read the documentation enclosed.


Enjoy,
Christian Franz

********

Version Histoy

Vers 1.21 -- NOW REALLY THINK C COMPATIBLE
  Yep, I compiled it with the uRuntime.lib. AND I removed
  the calls to FastPerfTrig in the FPU version. That's all, folks.
  Well, I also  wrote an additional chapter in the docs for C users...

Vers. 1.2 -- Now THINK C compatible
 After a few people told me about their problems using the GrafSys with
 THINK C, I removed all calls to Pascal's New procedure and any trig
 function. The trig calls are replaced by calls to my own super-fast trig
 package (included in GrafSys) that use look-up tables.

 Other than that, I added procedures to deallocate 3D objects and screen
 objects, something that many people demanded.

Vers. 1.11 -- Now contains C headers
 Finally, some kind soul send me the headerfiles for using the GrafSys with
 THINK C.

 Another change is that I removed over 192 typoos from the documentation.
 Quite a score, eh? Thanks to all who reminded me that there are such fantastic
 little programs as spelling checkers (I'm not using one for this posting...
 obviously!).


Vers 1.1 -- Fixed point arithmetic
 Literally hundrets of people asked me to change the requirements for GrafSys
 from 030/881 CPU/FPU to normal 68000 processor no FPU. They pointed out that
 I could use the fast Fixed-Point arithmetic. I did this and the result is the
 GrafSys Vers 1.1

Vers 1.0 -- Initial Release

What I'm working on:
 % faster Polygons for fast hidden-surface animation (almost done)
 % a 3D circle/oval type
 % better support for offscreen drawing in the Screen3D module

Harvest C is a free C compiler for the Macintosh.  It is not

Helix Express 1.0.1
Read Me First
April 28, 1993

___________________________
What is new in Helix Express 1.0.1
___________________________
Helix Express 1.0.1 is the first maintenance release of Helix Express 1.0.
It includes several improvements over the first version:

1.  A problem in the code that slowed loading operations has been fixed.

2.      A problem where large amounts of memory were required by the Helix
Express client to download Collection structure (on visit) has been fixed.
It should now be possible to visit Collections with large structures with
less memory on the client.

3.      There was a problem where Collection performance would degrade when
running under the Helix Express Server.

4.      Attempting to print while a window in the background was trying to
re-draw caused rare crashes. This has been fixed.

5.      In certain situations, when the server would initiate an auto-save,
the clients would hang. This is now fixed.

6.      When a query was constructed using the 3 hole inequality tiles, the
query optimizer sometimes yielded incorrect results.

7.      Indexes on target fields occassionally became corrupted if
undefined values were posted into them.

8.      Due to a problem in the client caching, stale data could persist on
forms. This problem has been eliminated.

9.      The server could crash when trying to abandon clients during quit.

10.     Records on a subform could not be dumped from a client.

11.     Dumping of documents from a sequence would sometimes place the
documents at the root directory instead of with the control file.

12.     A dynamic popup's query that used the Use From tile would not work
properly on an entry form opened from a clickable list in the Helix Client.

13. Some minor modifications have been made to the Business Manager and
Contact Manager Solutions.

        * Doesn't crash on SEs/Portables and other B&W Macs
        * Works better with very large files
        * Other minor fixes

HexEdit is a hexdump viewer and editor that works similarly to the hex
editor provided with Apple's ResEdit.  It allows you to edit either
the data fork or the resource fork of a file.

I wrote HexEdit because I needed to be able to insert/delete bytes

Well, I've done the impossible with the gracious help of the net.  Keith
Rollin and Michael Hecht both posted wonderful bits of code to
comp.sys.mac.programmer (the Usenet news group where discussions of a
mostly technical nature take place).  Keith's was a disassembly of the
Finder's C++ objects which it uses to keep track of icons.  It stores these
objects in the window refcon.  Michael posted an interface to the
undocumented and highly mysterious Layer Manager, which handles the various
window shenanigans that MultiFinder plays.  Given these two beasts, I was
able to write an AppleScript addition which returns a list of all the files
selected in the Finder!

So much for the biggest need for the scriptable Finder.

In addition, I've got 13 other commands included with this command, making
Jon's Commands the premiere Scripting Addition on the planet.  If you're
doing AppleScript, you have to have this puppy.  Be sure to mention my name
prominently whenever you praise this functionality though.  ;)

Here's a blurb from the read me, which I encourage you to read.

Jon

Jon's Commands

This AppleScript Scripting Addition provides AppleScript and all scriptable
and Apple Event aware applications with added functionality.  To examine
the AppleScript syntax of each of these commands, simply drag Jon's
Commands onto the Script Editor or use the Open Dictionary command to open
it.  To install it, simply drop it into the Scripting Additions folder
which is inside your Extensions folder.

Jon's Commands includes these commands:
   deleteFile - delete a single file
   renameFile - rename a file
   moveFile - move a file to a different folder
   sound volume - get the volume setting
   set sound volume to - set the volume setting
   clipboard info - get a list of data on the clipboard
   set the clipboard to - put data on the clipboard
   the clipboard - get data from the clipboard
   execute FKEY - run an FKEY resource
   screen list - describe the monitor configuration
   finder selection - return the Finder's selection
   keys pressed - get a list of pressed keys
   machine environment - get info about the machine
   play sound - play sound resources, files and descriptors

Jon's Commands includes these objects:
   picture - for getting them off the clipboard
   sound - for getting them off the clipboard & playing them
   screen info - for describing the monitors
   environment info - for describing the machine

Free for noncommercial use.  Contact me for a simple cheap license if you
wish to include this as part of a software solution that you sell.

From: [e-mail] (Dan Costin)
Subject: KeMo 1.03 -- Millisecond Reaction Timing Utilities


[Moderators, please put this in info-mac/source.  It is an object-code only
library that works with both C and Pascal.  Thank you.]

This is a new release (see CHANGES below) of a set of functions to help
writing reaction time experiments on the Mac, the KeMo Reaction Timing
Utilities.  Functionality currently consists of the following:
- a timer with 20 microsecond resolution
- polling functions for ADB devices, such as keyboards and mice, with +/-1.4
to +/-2.1 msec accuracy, depending on your Mac (as opposed to the +/- 8 to
+/-16 msec accuracy that you get with "normal" Toolbox functions like
GetKeys)
- a screen refresh synchronization function for all Macs
- functions that hide and show the menu bar
- a function to make all other applications quit (System 7 required)

These routines are packaged in a library file which can be incorporated into
your program, together with header files for C and Pascal (source code for
the functions is not yet included).  Additionally, a sample program that
exercises all of the functions is included with source code in C.

KeMo's ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) polling functions only work on Macs with
ADB's.  These include all Macs sold by Apple after the Mac Plus.  Some
incompatibility has been detected with PowerBooks, but other Macs, from
Classics to Quadras, all work fine.  In addition, all functions require
System Version 6.0.5 or later.  If using Think Pascal, you must use Think
Pascal version 3.0 or later.

The KeMo set of functions is distributed as "Old World

KeMo Reaction Time Utilities Copyright 1992 Dan Costin

CHANGES
--------
Version 1.03
- Added KeMoQuitAllApps, a function that makes all other running
applications quit (including the Finder).  Requires System 7.0.0 or later.

Version 1.02
- Only one library is included instead of two; this one library should link
with Think C projects as well as Pascal and other languages/development
systems.
- The return type of KeMoCode2Asc has been changed to short integer to
accomodate Pascal peculiarities.
- A Pascal unit interface is provided, "KeMo.p".
- "KeMoTest (w/ debug)" now also saves debugging information in a file
called "KeMo Test Output."

Subject: KeMo 1.5 - ADB device millisecond timing & other useful stuff
Date: 13 Oct 1993 08:11:27 GMT
Organization: Department of Cognitive Science, UCSD

Moderators: please replace info-mac/src/ke-mo-103.hqx with this file,
possibly named info-mac/src/kemo-15.hqx.

CHANGES
--------
Version 1.5
- Source code now available to registered users.  See License section.
- Added the ability to wait for more than one device at a time (waiting for
more than one device decreases the accuracy of the measurement accordingly);
see KeMoSelect() and KeMoWait()
- Added several constant definitions for selecting various combinations of ADB
devices (see KeMoSelect())
- Changed the argument type for KeMoSelect() from short integer to long integer
(your programs must be recompiled with the new KeMo.h or KeMo.p)
- Added the ability to distinguish between two mouse buttons (tested on
PowerBook trackballs only).  See KeMoWait().
- Added the function KeMoDeviceType() to manually set the device types
(keyboard or mouse) when KeMo fails to appropriately categorize a device.
- Added access to two data arrays that contain information about available ADB
devices (see the bottom of KeMo.h and KeMo.p)
- Fixed Quadra and PowerBook incompatibilities (incompatibilities fixed in
KeMoInit() and KeMoSync())

For changes in previous versions (1.03 and earlier) see README file.

INTRODUCTION
-------------
This package is essentially a set of functions to help writing reaction time
experiments on the Mac, the KeMo Reaction Timing Utilities.  Functionality
currently consists of the following:
- a timer with 20 microsecond resolution
- polling functions for ADB devices, such as keyboards and mice, with +/-1.4 to
+/-2.1 msec accuracy, depending on your Mac (as opposed to the +/- 8 to +/-16
msec accuracy that you get with "normal" Toolbox functions like GetKeys)
- a screen refresh synchronization function for all Macs
- functions that hide and show the menu bar
- a function to make all other applications quit (System 7 required)

Before I get too many comments like "the Mac is not a real-time machine" let me
put in my disclaimer: this software-only approach does not guarantee the
accuracy claimed above in all conditions.  Various factors like disk access and
network activity can cause loss of accuracy.  But this lack of accuracy can be
avoided with careful programming and by using Macs that are not doing certain
other things and running other programs at the same time they are doing
reaction timing.  See "Accuracy Issues" in the Users' Guide for more discussion
of this.

These routines are packaged in a library file which can be incorporated into
your program, together with header files for C and Pascal.  Additionally, a
sample program that exercises all of the functions is included with source code
in C.

KeMo's ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) polling functions only work on Macs with ADB's.
These include all Macs sold by Apple after the Mac Plus.  In addition, all
functions require System Version 6.0.5 or later.  If using Think Pascal, you
must use Think Pascal version 3.0 or later.

The KeMo set of functions is distributed as "Old World Order/Recession-ware":
there is a shareware registration fee of $20 unless you can't afford it, or
can't get U.S. dollars.  You may not use KeMo to write commercial or shareware
programs without prior permission.  See the license terms in the Users' Guide
for more details.

Source code is available for free to registered users ($10 shipping/handling if
you need me to send you stuff by physical mail, prepaid).

You may contact Dan Costin, the author, at [e-mail] or

Excerpt from the Intro:

The basic premise behind LabMaster is to simplify the job of programming
client-server software in a networked environment. The core of LabMaster is
a network transportation system that allows code on a client Mac to easily
communicate with code on a server Mac. A whole range of features can be
implemented with little programming overhead and minimal knowledge of the
underlying AppleTalk network. Each required feature is implemented as a
LabMaster module. A module performs a specific function either
independently or in cooperation with other modules. LabMaster can load
these modules at any time and interacts with them through a well defined
programming interface.

Please mail [e-mail] if there are any problems.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: lazy-scheme-1.4.hqx


This is rel. 1.4 of Help.  Help  now works correctly  under System 7 (thanks
to Steven Mattan for the help in the  bug hunting). The archive presentation
has been  improved, some (previously fake)  menu items  now work and various
ResEdit files are given for Help customization (from lazy to strict, English
to French...)

Help   is  a complete  and     efficient Scheme-like functionnal  lazy  Lisp
interpreter. It  works only on 68020 (or  more) based Macintoshs.   It has a
'friendly'  interface   (parenthesis  matcher,   auto-indent),  uses  a full
call-by-need semantics  and includes  many  examples,  including a  symbolic
compiler for the 680x0. Efficiency is good (fib 20  in 5.4" on a 68030/25Mhz
emulated Mac, 1.15" compiled... but compilation is impossible for the vulgum
pecus), bugs are  few, if any  (it has been  intensively used by a friend of
mine), and lazyness is fully parametrable (you  main turn Help into a strict
Scheme-like language if you like). French AND  English updated docs included
in Word4 and plain text formats.

    This is Logo 2.1.1 for Macintosh. It's the most complete Logo for
Macintosh you'll find for only $5! While supporting almost every Apple Logo
function (ok, colors are an exception, but HyperCard doesn't handle that!),
it has a very fast interpreter that doesn't get bogged down too much by
nested Repeats and the like. Try it, and trust me, you'll really like it.

                            *Stiles

(P.S.: 2.1.1 fixes many bugs, including a bug in the 'home' function of Logo

            Macintosh Assembly System

MAS is a complete interactive system for assembly language programming. The
MAS system includes a full featured editor, file handling utilities, an
assembler, and an extensive runtime system with an excellent source level
debugger. Multifile search and replace is included along with routines to
dynamically maintain window lists. An on-line help facility includes a
description of most MC68020/30/40 instructions. The distribution package
includes the system, a complete User Manual to describe the features of MAS
and direct users through a series of hands-on tutorials.  The package also
includes a listing of over 200 programs from "Assembly Language and Systems
Programming for the M68000 Family" by Ford  and Topp, D.C. Heath, 1992. The
programs illustrate the MC68020/30/40 instructions and the use of assembly
language for extended arithmetic, character handling, system run time
environments, data structures,  exception processing, interrupt handling,
concurrent programming, and coprocessor interface. Standalone and
interrupt-driven I/O libraries are included.

The assembler emits MC68020/30/40 code. Redefinable labels and include files
are added as enhancements. MAS provides an editable error window indexed by
line number. Options exist to generate listing files with cross referencing
and source/object information. Code execution is supported by a menu driven
run time environment. The interactive system features a source level debugger.
The value of all 68000 registers and user selected labels are displayed at
each break. A memory display facility lists the contents in memory at any
label or absolute address. The runtime environment supports I/O redirection.
The system implements linking of separate source or object modules through
the Project Menu. MAS supports a full-featured help system. For code
generation with standalone systems, absolute addressing and S-records are
implemented.

This release is for demonstration purposes only. The self-extracting file
includes the MAS assembly system, and a set of tutorials that highlight its
main features. The software is fully functional, except that files may
not be saved or printed and access to the external clipboard is not available.
The Help system only illustrates a sample of options and instructions.
Order information is included in the distribution.

"MacOberon 4.0 Folder", which contains all of the files that the
MacOberon system is made up of, and "Toolbox Interfaces", which
contains interface files for expert programmers.


Installing MacOberon

Open the newly created "MacOberon 4.0 Folder" and locate MacOberon's
application program. This is the file named "4.0 MacOberon 4.0",
which should appear in the upper left corner of the folder when its
contents are displayed in icon view. You can easily recognize the
application "4.0 MacOberon 4.0" because it has a larger icon than the
other files in this folder. If you display the folder contents by
name or by date, the file "4.0 MacOberon 4.0" will appear at the top
of the list view. Select the file "4.0 MacOberon 4.0" and choose
"Make Alias" from the Finder's "File" menu. This will create an alias
icon for MacOberon's application. Move the alias icon to your
desktop, then close the folder "MacOberon 4.0 Folder". Rename the
alias icon to "Start MacOberon". Next, install the two fonts
"Elektra" and "Math" that are distributed with MacOberon. These fonts
are necessary for printing some of MacOberon's documentation. Your
Macintosh Manual will tell you how to install fonts. MacOberon also
requires the "Helvetica" and "Courier" fonts for printing. These
should have come with the operating system when you first bought your
Macintosh. If you have removed either font from your sytem, please
re-install it before attempting to print from Oberon. The folder
"Toolbox Interfaces" is provided for expert programmers that wish to
use the facilities of the Macintosh Toolbox directly. If you are not
one of these, you may safely delete the folder and all of the files
in it. If you do want to use the interfaces in this folder, please
read the file "DK.MacOberonAppl.Text" before doing so.


Starting MacOberon

Now you are ready to start MacOberon by double-clicking on the alias
icon that you have created before. You may move the MacOberon folder
and the alias icon that is used for starting to any other location on
your hard disk, but please make sure that the files contained in the
"MacOberon 4.0 Folder" stay together always. MacOberon does not
recognize files residing in folders other than the one which contains
the application program "4.0 MacOberon 4.0". Please also make sure
that MacOberon is always started by double-clicking on an alias icon,
and that the "MacOberon 4.0 Folder" folder remains closed while
MacOberon is in use. Otherwise, MacOberon will run much slower,
especially at startup and during compilation.

MacOberon requires a Macintosh equipped with an MC68020 CPU
and a floating-point coprocessor (or an INIT that emulates
the FPU).  It will not run on a Macintosh Classic or any
other Macintosh that has only an MC68000 in it.  On the
Macintosh Quadra, MacOberon runs with caching enabled.

MacOberon now supports QuickDraw printers.
A large Monitor is highly recommended.

MacOberonLite Version 1.0

This is the first public release of MacOberonLite, a small
Macintosh development system based on MacOberon and its
fast 32-bit compiler.
The language Oberon is based on Pascal and Modula II and
therefore easy to learn and use.
Using MacOberonLite, you can build your own standalone
Macintosh Applications! (Samples are included)

It requires at least a 68020 processor and an FPU (-emulation)

Subject: Mac Speech Demo 0.1


This is a tiny program with complete source code that allows a user to hear
samples of all the voices installed in their system under the Speech
Manager.  The Speech Manager is NOT included, but is required, and is
availble for anonymous ftp from ftp.apple.com.

This is a "quick-and-dirty hack" built in a half hour with only the Speech.h
interface file for reference.  No interface or error-checking is included.
It will probably crash Macs without the Speech Manager installed
(uninstalled trap error or some such).

Use of this program is at your own risk - no warranty is made and only
minimal testing (it works under Sys 7.1 on my IIsi) has been done.

Get the newest version and a full documentation of this package from
anonymous FTP (Password: <your name>@<your locality> ):

       neptune.inf.ethz.ch (129.132.101.33)

Preferably you transfer the file "MacMETH 3.2.sea" (e.g. by means
of "VersaTerm FTP client", MacBinary format) or transfer the file
"MacMETH 3.2.hqx" (BinHex 4.0 format) instead.  The latter needs
first to be converted into its binary form by the utility "BinHex
4.0" (available from many user groups).  In any case you will end
up with the file "MacMETH 3.2.sea" (the extension 'sea' stands for
Self Extracting Application).

Double-click "MacMETH 3.2.sea" and specify in the subsequent dialog
that the resulting folders shall be written to your hard disk.  You
will get two folders named "MacMETH 3.2 Disk 1/2" and "MacMETH 3.2
Disk 2/2".  Each of these folders fits on a 800K floppy disk for
distribution or transportation via diskettes.

"MacMETH 3.2 Disk 1/2" contains everything which is needed to work
through the examples given in the manual and to develop programs.

"MacMETH 3.2 Disk 2/2" contains extras which need to be accessed
only occasionally. Among others it contains a copy of this file, a
printable copy of the manual, and some tools and files which may be
of use when special options are of interest.  For instance there is
a pair of alternative compilers, i.e. CompileN respectively
Compile20N, which follow strictly the Modula-2 report in "Wirth,N.,
1988. Programming in Modula-2, 4th ed.", or if you wish to compile
new macros for MEdit, or if you are interested in the Hennessy
benchmark programs etc.


Getting started
***************

Make a working copy of all files and folders contained on diskette
"MacMETH 3.2 Disk 1/2" into a folder, e.g. named "M2", on your hard
disk or another diskette.   Make sure you have at least 32K of disk
cache.  Then start the shell " MacMETH 3.2", select "Compile", then
select "Execute" to execute the just compiled file by selecting the
file "Example.OBM" in the folder "Work".     See what happens!

To install the content of "MacMETH 3.2 Disk 2/2" perform the
following steps:
Copy the files of the  "More XYZ" folders into the respective folder
"XYZ" in your "M2" installation.
Copy the "MEdit f" folder and "MacMETH Manual 1992.sea" into your "M2"
folder.  Double-click  "MacMETH Manual 1992.sea"  and specify in the
subsequent  dialogue that the  resulting folders shall be written to
your "M2" folder.

The XYZ.sea files are not needed anymore after completion of
installation.

For further instructions see the MacMETH manual.

Note:  If you start the editor " MEdit 1.79", e.g. via selecting
the menu command Edit2 from within the MacMETH shell, please follow
the configuration dialog by entering your last and first name and
clicking 'Ok' for all the rest of the dialog.  This allows you to
easily switch back and forth between the MacMETH shell and MEdit
via the menu commands " MacMETH 3.2 - File/Edit2" respectively "
MEdit 1.79 - Macros/Launch M2 shell".

Mercutio 1.1.5 is a replacement for the standard menu definition routine
that supports menu item key equivalents with multiple-modifier keys. It
allows four combinations of modifier keys: command, command-option,
command-shift, and command-option-shift.

Mercutio is fully compatible with System 7, and supports all the features of
the system MDEF. Integrating the MDEF into your program is a very easy, and
shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Mercutio's features include:

           - System 7's Balloon Help and True Gray.
           - Color menus.
           - Small and large icons.
           - SICNs in hierarchical menu items.
           - 99% compatible with standard MDEF: the
              only thing Mercutio doesn't do is support
              the "condense" and "extended" character styles.

MDEF Tester 1.4, a testing program, is also included in this package.

Developers may use Mercutio free of charge as long as they give me
credit and send me a copy of the final program. Other licensing terms are
available.


ABOUT THIS PACKAGE
===================
Changes since 1.1.4:
  - Fixed Key equivalent conflict for menu items with the same command-key
  - Fixed Key equivalent conflict for disabled menu items
  - Change of mailing address and e-mail accounts.

Appended below is Mops23m.sea.hqx, the 719kB archive that holds the
Mops manual files, by [e-mail], forwarded with his
permission --- the author's "Roadmap" to the manual says:
     Before you dive into Mops, it will be most helpful if you have an
overview of the organization of this rather lengthy manual.
     Mops was designed as both a serious Macintosh development
language and a language that beginning, casual programmers can learn
to access the powers of the Mac.  This manual addresses both
audiences, and some in between.
     The manual is divided into the following major parts:
        INTRODUCTION
                PART I.         TUTORIAL
                PART II.        USING MOPS

Subject: *Mops231Nuc.SEA.hqx - Forth nucleus

Appended below is the first of three Mops files, "Mops231Nuc.SEA.hqx",
the nucleus of the Mops Forth language system --- forwarded with the
permission of the author, Michael Hore ([e-mail]).

Mike writes: "Mops is an OOP Macintosh development system, derived
from the old NEON (now defunct), and based on Forth.  It gives full
access to the Mac Toolbox and System.  It compiles fast native code.
Includes assembler, full source and manual."

I think he's much too modest --- it's really neat (if you can stand
Forth!) and powerful, and the manual is superb.  (Suggestion: Rather
than downloading the naked nucleus of the system, I'd recommend
getting the two files that follow:  Mops231s.sea.hqx, the source code
that includes the nucleus and the rest of the files needed to build a
full Mops system, and Mops23m.sea.hqx, the manual.)

But for those who want it, Mops231Nuc.SEA.hqx (57kB) follows....

manual, "The name Mops could well be an acronym for "Michael's
Object-oriented Programming System" but since I feel the computing
world has enough acronyms already, I wouldn't want to be too dogmatic
about this.  Hence we spell Mops as Mops, not MOPS."

Subject: [*] Say - an MPW tool that talks!
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 93 14:47:22 WET DST


Say is an MPW tool which reads standard input and converts it to spoken text
using the Speech Manager. The current version selects one of the installed
voices (either MacinTalk or Gala Tea) at random. A future version may allow a
command line option to specify which voice should be used. This was a quick
hack. There is no commando interface.

Say is useful for notifying the user when a lengthy script has completed
execution, eg:

  DoVeryLongBuild # build latest version of my application
  Echo "Wake up!" | Say # wake me up when it's done

Requires: Speech Manager, MPW, System 7.0.

From: Peter N Lewis <[e-mail]>
Subject: cp - ObiWan 4.0.1


ObiWan 4.0.1 is a general help system.  You can create several
databses and ObiWan will let you rapidly find information from
them.  It displays the information by temporarily taking over
several lines at the bottom of the main screen, so the information
can be displayed at any time in any program.  Portions of the
information can then be sent to the front window as if you had
typed it.  The main use of all this is to access the programming
database created from Apple's PInterfacesHelp file, which includes
the procedures, traps, global variables and errors available up
to System 7.  If you've seen Online Companion, it works similar
to that, but includes all the System 7 information.

Three databases are included, the Force database which has all the
System 7 programming information, a Words database which is just a
list of words, useful for checking spelling, and a Perl database which
lists all the Perl commands.

Any programmer with a meg of disk space available and access to
the PInterfacesHelp file should definitely have a look at this (IMNVHO :-).
The normal use is to figure out the parameters of various calls, for
example, if I want to know the parameters for HOpen, I can get them
pasted in like this:
OSErr:=HOpen(vRefNum_INTEGER,dirID_LONGINT,fileName_Str255,
permission_SignedByte,VAR_refNum_INTEGER);
(in either C or Pascal format)

This is a minor upgrade to fix a few small problems, and include
the database with the control panel to simpilfy installation.

I hope it proves as useful to you as it does to me,
   Peter.

Subject: Object Browser Demo 1.0

Enclosed is a copy of Object Browser Demo version 1.0.

Object Browser is a programmer's utility designed to assist people
debugging object-oriented programs. Object Browser will display, in
real-time, the contents of an application's objects.

Using the demo is easy: just double-click the file, and the program will
bring up a window displaying the MainWindow object for itself. Click (and
hold the button down for a while) in the outward pointing arrows to display
those objects. Click in the inward-pointing arrows to display
substructures.

The documentation is actually a marketing piece, but please print it out or
look at it. I put it into various forms that should make it readable to
everyone. I recommend downloading the PostScript file if you have a
PostScript printer. Otherwise look at the TeachText documents.

Object Browser will not run on 68000-based Macs (Plus, SE, PowerBook 100)
due to limitations in the address modes on those machines. Sorry. Had I
known about this bug earlier, I would have at least made it put up an alert
or something.

If none of this makes sense to you, don't worry: it's a programmer thing.
All of the objects displayed are from Symantec's Think Class Library (TCL),
although Object Browser can be modified to display objects from any class
library (that I know of).

If you are interested in Object Browser, contact me at the one of the
addresses below. I am currently looking for a company to assist me in
further development of Object Browser, and in bringing it to market.

Hi,

Patch Loader

Overview
The Patch Loader is a small INIT core I've written for people who are writing their own INIT's.  It will load and install resources as trap patches.
History
This is really a spin off from other INIT/CDEV's I've written.  I didn't really want to leave the install code in memory.  This meant a separate INIT that loaded code into memory and then patched it into the appropriate traps before quitting.  After rewriting this code 3 times for different traps etc, I decided to make it portable.  This is the result.

Attached is a program which converts QuickBASIC source code into
FutureBASIC source code. The program is written and copyrighted
by Zedcor, and I am posting it with their permission. (They have
posted it on some of the commercial networks.)
This program is being included on copies of FutureBASIC which are
shipping now, but was not included when FutureBASIC was introduced late
last year. (Unfortunate, because it would have saved me a lot of work.)
If you were an early adopter of FB and have QB programs to convert, you
will find it useful.
Included is the source copy which I have compiled for those QB users
who do not have FB and might be interested in moving up to FutureBASIC.
(After all, QB appears to have been orphaned.) The converter does a
good but incomplete job; in most programs it will leave things which
must be attended to manually. The biggest difficulty will be for programmers
who do not have a central event loop, which QB examples did not stress.
I have no association with Zedcor except as a customer. If you have
questions, ask them, not me. Their technical support number is 608-795-3996,

Reference Link is an INIT that makes THINK Reference 2.0 easier to use if
you have System 7.  With Reference Link installed, you can do a modified
double-click on a word in a text editor or word processor, whereupon the
word will be looked up in THINK Reference 2.0.  Alternately, you can first
select a word or phrase, and then type a certain keystroke, and the selected
text will be looked up in THINK Reference.  Use that keystroke again to jump
back to the editor. Freeware by James W. Walker.

V. 1.1.1 fixes a conflict with Logitech's MouseKey.

V. 1.2 adds a template lookup keystroke, and eliminates the background
process.

Subject:      ResHelper Post


Hello,
    Nearly a year ago, I decided to write a resource editing program
which addressed some of the complaints I had with ResEdit as well as
some other programs which essentially require you to write a "program"
for your resources then compile them into the final usable form.  This
seems like an odd approach to program development on a graphically based
computer!  I assumed I wasn't the only one with a wish list for a
resource-building program so I solicited suggestions from readers of
INFO-MAC and tried to incorporate many of those suggestions in what has
now become ResHelper.

    Among the features included in the program, the two I'm most proud
of are the bundle and dialog editors.  The BNDL editor allows you to
specify your signature, signature string, and file references from two
integrated dialogs.  A FREF is created by typing the four character file
type, selecting the ICN# which is to be shown for files saved with that
file type, then clicking on Link to link the two.  ResHelper
automatically constructs the table of global and local resource IDs
needed to specify the BNDL and saves it out for you.

    The dialog editor uses an environment similar to the popular draw
programs to provide the following features (and more).

    - Change the dialog's window type on the fly.  In most programs,
      once you add items to a dialog, you can't change the window type
      once items have been placed in the dialog window.
    - Use the dialog clipboard to create multiple items with identical
      dimensions.
    - Select multiple items by holding down Shift while clicking on the
      items or drag a rectangle around items to select them (as you can
      in the Finder).
    - Hold down Shift while dragging to limit movement to the horizontal
      or vertical direction.
    - Change a control's title or the text in a statText or editText
      item by double clicking on that item to select the text, type the
      new title, then press Esc or click outside the item's rectangle to
      finish editing.
    - Resize the dialog window by dragging in the lower right corner.
    - Position the dialog window in the screen by dragging its title bar
      (if it has one) or by clicking in the first four rows of pixels at
      the top of the window and dragging.
    - Add PICTs or ICONs by clicking on the appropriate tool, click in
      the window where you wish to place it, then select the desired
      PICT/ICON from a list of defined resources.  Poof!  It's added.
      You can edit the ICONs in the dialog by double clicking on them.

    The program also includes editors for CURS, ICON/ICN#, MENU, STR,
SIZE, WIND and mstr resources.  As of yet, the program does not have the
ability to edit generic resources or modify some of the more esoteric
resource types (such as cicn, sicn, FONT, etc) but I believe most
programmers will find the editors provided in ResHelper to be very
useful.

    I no longer have direct access to INFO-MAC (I graduated from
Washington University in May 1990) so I'd like to thank a friend and
colleague of mine, Eric Oberle, for posting ResHelper to INFO-MAC.

    Finally, ResHelper is shareware ($30).  Try it!  Let me know what
you think.  You can send comments to me at the address below or send
them electronically to Eric at <[e-mail]> and he'll forward
them to me.

[*] ResCompare 2.5.3

ResCompare is a programmer's utility for comparing two resource files. It will
show you what resources are different, apply updates from one resource file to
another, view comprehensive differences between two resources, and build
self-applying patch applications that convert one resource file into another.

WHAT'S CHANGED IN RESCOMPARE 2.5.3

Not much, actually. This is mostly a bug-fix release.

BUGS SQUASHED
* Patching a copy now works under System 6.
* The patch progress bar now correctly reflects the amount remaining to be
patched.
* "Edit Resource" can now open resources in Resorcerer(R).

NEW FEATURES
* Now includes a document describing the format of a patch file. Also includes
ResEdit templates ('TMPL' resources) for viewing and editing a patch.
* Patch supports automatic location of the patch target. See the Patch 4.0.4
File Format document's description of the 'ZFIL' resource for details.

The Demo is from nearly a year ago, so I am sure that the program has been
substantially improved since then.  Also, I have placed Mathemaesthetics,

About Resorcerer  1.1                                             Spring,
1992
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-


Thanks for your interest in our award-winning Macintosh  resource editor,
Resorcerer .  We hope the following information is enough to answer some of
your questions about it.

Resorcerer is a 900K application that has been in use and under continuous
development for the last five years.  It features a single window file
interface that lets you browse resources easily; visible accumulating
clipboard file; resource hex/text searching; resource marking; visible
editing attributes (including which ones are open, which changed); ability
to change IDs, attributes, and even types of any group of resources all at
once, with undo; integral data fork editing; simple scripting language for
building complex resource files; compatibility with Mac programming
guidelines; powerful, consistent, and well-designed interface features that
solve many common problems; rich set of user preferences; and individual
Editors for the most common Mac application resources.

Unlike Apple's ResEdit, Resorcerer is not a "resource map" editor.  You
don't have to create a type, for instance, prior to creating a resource of
that type. You can open and close files that have no "resource forks"
without being asked if you want to create one.  You don't need more than
one command to "open" a file.  Resource maps are Apple's private data
structure, and editing or verifying one, via ResEdit, is their
responsibility.  However, the whole purpose of resources, and the Resource
Manager's manipulation of them, is to hide from "the rest of us" any
details of resource maps.  They should be of no concern to the person who
just wants to edit a string, dialog, menu, or custom resource, which is
what 99% of the use of a resource editor is all about.  Should Apple change
the format of resource maps in the future (which they would dearly love to
do), Resorcerer will continue to work; old versions of ResEdit will become
obsolete and probably dangerous.

Resorcerer minimally, but compatibly, relies on the Mac's Resource Manager
to read resource data in once, and to write changed resources back out.  It
is more intuitive and easier to use because of its ignorance of resource
maps, and safer as well (for instance, Resorcerer makes no patches to any
system traps, and basically knows nothing about resource maps, which should
properly be a Resource Manager private data structure).

Resorcerer 1.1 is MPW Projector aware, Apple event aware, and can be called
upon by other software to open and edit any resource in any file.

Approximately 1/4 of Resorcerer is dedicated to editing dialogs (including
alerts, control panels, and windows).  The color Dialog Editor has been
called the best in the world (one recent customer described it as
"exceeding my wildest dreams") and is more powerful and elegant than
ResEdit, Prototyper, AppMaker, etc.  It features

        WYSIWYG color MacDraw -like environment
        Special integrated support for Lists, PopUps, OK and Cancel buttons
        Visible item numbers that are a separate field while editing
        Item numbers settable with just a mouse click or by typing
        Items growable from any corner
        Supports System 7.0 Moveable Modal windows under System 6
        Item grouping, for dragging, growing, auto-sizing, and stretching
        Special support for hidden, overlapping, or buried items
        Grid snapping, with margins, alignment tool, and optional visible
grid
        Ability to run the dialog directly through the Dialog Manager
        Integral color table (actb, dctb, and ictb) support
        Prints, screen copies, and decompiles (Rez output to the clipboard)
        C starter code generator, that supports Lists and Popup Menu items.
        Supports any number of System 7.0 Help items.
              Can edit System 7 CustomGetFile dialogs (ResEdit 2.1.1 cannot).
        Checks for Balloon Help inconsistencies
        Lets you try out your Balloon Help.

Resorcerer's color MENU/cmnu/CMNU Editor is more powerful than even ResEdit 2.1's new
menu editor.  You can cut and paste any selection of menu items, reorder a
menu without cutting and pasting, see all hierarchical references, and set
any of the fields kept in the menu color table, with easy copying and
pasting of RGB menu colors.  The sample menu in the menu bar always
resolves all hierarchical references, including any colored hierarchical
menus, and lets you try out your balloon help.  It also edits MacApp-style
'cmnu'/'CMNU' resources.  And it DeRez's to the clipboard.    The Editor
supports Resorcerer's text searching mechanism, so you can easily find and
open all menus with a particular command word in them.

The dedicated StringList (STR#) editor lets you see the index of all
strings, lets you display them in any font, print them, search them, lets
you cut and paste any selection of strings as individual objects, lets you
import strings as text, lets you reorder without cutting and pasting.  It
also DeRez's to the clipboard.  Text searching with autohighlight is
supported for finding strings by content.

All of Resorcerer's graphic resources allow screen-copying under
MultiFinder, so that you can use your favorite black & white or color paint
program to design color icons, picts, bitmaps, patterns, etc.  The 'clut'
Editor also lets you screen copy.

There are dedicated editors/screen copiers for these standard resource
types (and their synonyms):

ALRT, actb, bmap, BNDL, cicn, clut, cmnu, CNTL, cctb, CURS, DLOG, DITL,
dctb, FREF, ICN#, ICON, icl4, icl8, ics4, ics8, icm8, icm4, ics#, ictb,
MENU, mctb, nrct, PAT , PAT#, PICT, POST, SICN, SIZE, snd , STR , STR#,
styl, TEXT, TMPL, TYP#, vers, WIND, wctb, and WSTR resources.

In addition, Resorcerer has the most powerful and elegant, 32-bit,
list-based, TMPL-driven Custom Data Structure Editor you've ever seen.
It's compatible with ResEdit TMPL resources, but it supports many TMPL
field types that ResEdit does not (all told, 90 types at last count -
nearly three times as many as ResEdit), including numbered bit fields, RGB
colors, recursive TMPLs, dates, fixed point numbers, floating point
(single, double, extended 80, extended 96 bit, and THINK Universal 96-bit
precision), byte and long counted lists, fixed-length lists (arrays), sized
indefinite lists, dedicated resource ID fields so that you can open
referenced resources directly from the editor, skip offsets (similar to
sizeof fields), sized hex data fields, disassembled code dumps, and more.
If you use the demo to create a TMPL resource, you can see in a popup menu
all the supported types while you are editing.

There are fields for supporting keyed or variant records (e.g. Rez "switch"
statements), so that you can open and edit System 7.0 Balloon Help
resources, MPW Commando resources, Installer 3.3 scripts, even MacApp 3.0
'View' and QuickTime 'moov' resources, and lots of other important types
that ResEdit cannot hope to deal with.  One extremely nice feature is that
any field can have a list of symbolic constant names for the various common
values the field takes on.  This list is kept in the TMPL itself, and the
editor converts it to a PopUp menu.  You choose the name and the editor
stores the value (when editing, you can see both).  The first CASE is
always used as the value of new field, so the TMPL can ensure that certain
fields are always created with a legal default value (0 is not always
legal).  Field types and field offsets (hex or decimal) can be temporarily
made visible.  Hex or decimal offsets, and field types are easily viewable
or tucked out of sight.  You can print all fields in the resource editing
session (not just window screen dump).  And there's a dedicated Template
(TMPL) Editor with auto-indent that lets you choose from all legal TMPL
field types without your having to remember what all those obscure
4-character field types are, or which ones are compatible with ResEdit and
which are extensions.  Experienced TMPL-designers can do so in their Text
Editor of choice, and import the TMPL fields into the dedicated Template Editor in one Copy and Paste.

For resources that can't be fully described by TMPLs, you can use
Resorcerer's resource filtering system to pre- and post-process resources
to make them temporarily editable.  Nearly all possible data structures
(that have anything in them worth editing) are interactively editable with
Resorcerer.  This includes resources that cannot be compiled with Rez,
indexed lists, compacted resources, privately encrypted resources,
pre-computed hash tables, resources with checksum fields, resources with
alternate structures based on non-data information (like what the resource
ID is), and just about any other algorithmically determined structure.
This lets you design a template for those parts of a resource that humans
should attend to, and an algorithmic code resource for those structural
parts of a resource that the computer is better at attending to.  Because
the filter code need have no user-interface, filters are much easier to
create as code resources than a complete ResEdit editor might be.  A
filter's sole responsibility is to convert one handle of data into another
handle of data, and then back again.  An added benefit is that filters can
be used by your own application.

The application comes with more than a 140 redesigned TMPLs.  Installing
your own TMPLs is as simple as dropping a file of them into your
"Resorcerer  Templates" or "Private Templates" folder.  Resorcerer 1.1 will
resolve any aliases to template files as well, so that multi-person
projects can keep just one master set of private templates, while allowing
each programmer's own copy of Resorcerer to access them.

You can choose any font in which to display data when editing.  This is
great for localizers; you can have different text styles installed as your
preferences for any of the various editors.  Even the CODE/Hex Editor works
in any type style.

When TMPLs won't do, Resorcerer's 32-bit Code/Hex Editor lets you use as
much or as little of your screen as you want; edits in any font; shows the
current insertion point/selection range at all times; supports hex/ascii
searching, with independent non-modal simultaneous searches for separately
opened resources.  Especially nice is its ability to format your hex into
marked paragraphs, with paragraph-relative offsets and visible paragraph
marking.  This makes analyzing a hex resource into its separate fields and
embedded tables much easier (analyzing an unknown resource structure using
ResEdit's Hex Editor is an unbelievably frustrating waste of precious time,
if not impossible).  Either hex or decimal offsets are possible.  And it
DeRez's directly to the clipboard, with or without commented offset
information.

Resorcerer 1.1 knows comes with knowledge of some 40 different code
resource types, so that when you open one of them, the Code/Hex Editor
disassembles the code and lets you fix bugs, search, or edit the hex or
text data.  Unlike ResEdit 2.1.1's add-on code editor, Resorcerer can do
all editing integrated in one simple window.  You can select any number of
intructions; cut and paste as code, hex, or text; DeRez, print; and search
non-modally.  All Macsbug, Toolbox, and low-memory global names are
resolved for you; you can disassemble in either hex or decimal, using
either Macsbug-name-relative or PC-relative addresses.  A special Routines
menu alphabetically sorts large collections of Macsbug names into
hierarchical alphabetical order so that scrolling to any particular routine
is fast and easy.  And a special Patch menu lets you make common length
preserving patches (setting code to NOPs, branching around selected code,
and resetting a branch condition code).  All 68000-68040, FPU, PMMU
instructions are disassembled, and in conjunction with the Value Converter
(mentioned below), you can even edit your instructions in binary (just like
your Motorola assembly language manual documents them!).

Resorcerer's Value Converter lets you see and edit any 32-bit value in any
of a dozen standard Mac formats, including binary, octal, hex, unsigned,
fixed point (three kinds), float, character, etc.  Most of Resorcerer dialog boxes will
accept either decimal or hex input wherever a decimal number is called for.
 When the Value Converter finds itself over a Hex Editing window, it
automatically hot links itself to any 1-, 2-, or 4-byte selection and lets
you edit the selection in any of the above dozen formats.

Resorcerer will compare two resource files, showing you exactly which
resources in each file are different in some way from any counterparts in
the other file.  Simply open the two files and choose Compare Two Files....
  You can define the type of differences you want, and every "different"
(or unique) resource is marked for you.  Once marked, you can go on and
edit them normally.

Our new Resorcerer 1.1 includes a simple, C/Rez-like scripting language
that works in conjunction with Resorcerer's interactive editing capability.
 It is currently not a full-scale resource compiler; but it does, however,
allow you to automate repetitive resource management tasks, and it is
certainly powerful enough to help manage the building of Resorcerer itself,
which is what we use it for.  The language supports simple C preprocessor
symbolic constants in included header files, so that you can use your
standard symbolic resource ID header files; conditional execution based on
defined constants; including/excluding resources from many different files
into one working file; changing attributes and resource IDs; including data
files or parts of data files as resources; and excellent error reporting.

Resorcerer does not do everything that ResEdit does.  It has no support for
font-related resources (other than what can be described in a TMPL).  Fonts
are getting so complicated (it takes more than 30 pages just to describe
the fields in Apple's new 'sfnt' TrueType  font resource) that you should
be using a dedicated font-editing application, of which there are a number
now available (hardly anyone uses ResEdit to edit fonts anymore).
Resorcerer 1.1 will not let you sort resources by anything other than ID
(e.g. size, name).  It cannot repair a damaged resource map (it's also lots
less likely to create one!).  It currently does not support MacApp-style
'view'/'View' resources graphically (although you can edit all the fields
in a 'view'/'View' as an extensible data structure).  And current versions
of Resorcerer will not let you save any changes to an open System file or
to itself (whether this is a feature or a bug is open to debate; we think
it's a feature).  You can open and browse your System file and any of its
resources, however, and editing a copy of the System file is perfectly
fine.

ResEdit 2.1.1 features a good Finder color icon editor that is
well-designed and self-contained.  Resorcerer's philosophy is that if you
are interested in color icons, you should be using a dedicated color paint
program, which will always have features in it that will be missing from
the simple abilities that any resource editor implements.  Resorcerer can
screen-copy color icons of any size.  If you don't have a color paint
program, then you can always use ResEdit 2.1's color icon painting editor.
We hope to alleviate this situation sometime soon, as it is the only
regular activity our users ever have to go back to ResEdit for.

Resorcerer 1.1 will allow you to design your own resource "pickers" (code
resources compiled in either C or Pascal), which basically draw the value
of a given resource into the file window's resource list.  However, 1.1
will not support the addition of your own dedicated editors (see the
discussion above about resource template filters, though).

And unlike ResEdit (which is an internal Apple program that they
misguidedly think is a good idea to give away), Resorcerer is not free.
Precisely because of this, we respond to bugs, feature requests, etc. more
quickly than Apple (where ResEdit is a loss leader, and where people work
on it sporadically), and we can afford to value our customer's needs more
highly, with more personal support.  You know exactly whom to go to when a
problem arises, rather than depending on snippets of anonymous
code/advice/patches culled from bulletin boards/user groups/etc..  And we
know exactly who to go to in case of bug fixes or updates.  If a bug in
Resorcerer is keeping you from getting your work done, we will work with
you directly to get the problem fixed as best we can.

Resorcerer is currently the resource editor of choice at many well-known
Mac software companies.  Literally thousands of programmers are relying on
it since we began testing the waters over 2 years ago, and it has
benefitted from many cumulative suggestions from its users.  It is, as you
might guess, quickly proving to be more popular than ResEdit, including
ResEdit 2.1.  A significant number of our present customers are from
abroad, including France, Italy, Germany, Britain, Belgium, Australia,
Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Czechoslovakia, Japan, and Israel.  This is due to
Resorcerer's superlative ease of use, special features for localizers, its
text searching, file comparison, and ability to edit and view strings,
text, resource names, even hex, in any type-style.

MacUser Magazine bestowed an Honorable Mention upon Resorcerer as one of
the three Best Developer Tools of 1990.  MacUser UK awarded it 4 mice in a
recent review.

Resorcerer is an on-going and evolving program.  It is available now

This is the DEMO version of RscViewer II.0.1, a shareware tool
to dump, disassemble and patch (either in hexa or with the
assembler) macintosh resources.

This version is fully functionnal. However, you can use it only
a limited number of times, and not all the package is included.

This new version adds many functionalities such as deleting/
creating/adding resources, modifying all the resource attributes,
applying filters to resources, etc.

The interface has also changed a lot: color icons, color windows
has been added, the various items menus has been reorganized in
a more logical way, you can navigaged more easily within the
current resource and between resources, some dialogs (such as
the help and mini-calculator ones) has been redesigned, and...

From: "Jonathan Mills" <[e-mail]>
Subject: dev - AppMaker, SpriteWorld & Think C


Appsprites is a demonstration program that shows how to hook Tony
Myles' SpriteWorld 1.0.b3 package into Bowers Development
Corporation's AppMaker 1.5.2 under THINK C 5.0.4.  The 'simple'
SpriteWorld project was modified to provide basic functions for
animation.  Animation calls were then inserted into two critical
AppMaker-generated routines (Dispatcher.c and MainWindow.c) and
the AppMaker window record (in Globals.h) was extended to allow
independent animation in each main window, although only one
window is active at a time.  A modal dialog was added that allows
the user to set each sprite's move and frame time (the values must
be the same in the demo) either from sprite 1 or independently for
each sprite.

AppSprites is only intended to be a starter program. Some things
could be cleaned up in the package, such as the machine checking
code (which could use the gestalt checking done by AppMaker).
Appsprites is not multi-finder friendly, using a version of
AppMaker's EventLoop.c that disables WaitNextEvent in favor of
GetNextEvent to drive the animation with idle events (see below).

/*----------*/
static Boolean GetEvent     (void);
static Boolean GetEvent     (void)
{
       Boolean              gotEvent;

//     if (sysConfig.hasWNE) {
//          gotEvent = WaitNextEvent (everyEvent, &curEvent,
//                                    GetSleep (), cursorRgn);
//     } else {
          SystemTask ();
          gotEvent = GetNextEvent (everyEvent, &curEvent);
//     }
     return (gotEvent);
} /*GetEvent*/


Replace the GetEvent() function in AppMaker's EventLoop.c with the
one given here and recompile the AMLibraryC.<project> library
before compiling Appsprites.

IMPORTANT!!
-----------
If WaitNextEvent is used, the animation speed will be the rate of
caret blinking -- which is really slow!  This can be changed by
setting the sleep time to a smaller interval (replace the call to
GetSleep() with a small number), or by implementing a function of
your own.

Driving animation with idle events is slower than driving it with
the tight loop in simple.<project>, but is still reasonably fast.
How fast?  Fast enough to drive a simulation.  As some of you may
observed, the sprites look like Stiquito robots.  This is because
Appsprites is the template for a Stiquito simulator based on
SpriteWorld (you can find out more about Stiquito, and obtain the
simulator and its source code when it is available, by anonymous
ftp to cs.indiana.edu in /pub/stiquito).

Thanks extremely to Tony Myles for SpriteWorld, Bowers Development
Company for AppMaker, and Symantec for THINK C 5.0.4.   They work.
'Nuff said.

#### BINHEX     sprite-toolkit.hqx   ****

Date: Mon, 4 Oct 93 15:45:45 +0100
From: [e-mail] (Ingemar Ragnemalm)
Subject: Sprite Animation Toolkit (programmer's library)


Sprite Animation Toolkit (SAT)
=============================
Version 2.0

SAT is a library for programmers who want to make arcade games or other
programs involving animation. It is distributed as a compiled library,
together with numerous example programs.

Cost:
====

SAT is Copyright (C) Ingemar Ragnemalm 1992-1993, all rights reserved.
SAT is free of charge for making freeware/shareware programs. I only
demand a free copy of games/programs produced with it. For further
details, see the documentation.

(Actually, SAT is also sort of "jobware" - I hope it will make some
employer impressed enough to hire me.)

Noteable features:
================

- Direct-to-screen animation in B/W, 4-bit color and 8-bit color, written
in optimized assembly language OR safe QuickDraw-based graphics in any
screen depth.
- Compatible with system 6 and 7.
- Compatible with all Macs (see below).
- Easy to program, using callback routines to give a programming interface
similar to object oriented programming, but avoiding the overhead of OO.
- Designed for making games that supports several screen depths.
- Can re-configure itself after screen depth changes.
- Switches between color and b/w graphics with minimal programming effort.
- Includes utilities for menu bar hiding, setting mouse position, asynchronous
sound etc.
- Six demo programs included with source code, ranging from a trivial
animation (less than two pages of source code) to the complete arcade
game HeartQuest (53 k of source code), complete with high scores, menu
and window handling etc.
- Developed by an experienced shareware game programmer. The library has
already been used to make three arcade games that have been released (Slime
Invaders, Bachman, HeartQuest), and more are coming.
- Thoroughly tested by several (programming) beta testers.

System requirement:
===================

Compiler: Think Pascal or Think C (version 4 and 5 tested, respectively). (Most
demos are in Pascal, but any skilled C programmer should have little problem
convering them to C. Three demos are included in C versions so far.)

System: A color capable Mac is recommended but not required. (It's hard to
produce the color icons on a B/W Mac.)

Notes on compatibility:
====================

Of course there is no way to guarantee that it will work on all configurations,
and I expect problems with certain odd kinds of video boards. It is, however,
tested on a wide range of Macs: by myself on Plus/6.0.7, SE/6.0.7, LC/6.0.7,
IIsi/6.0.7, LC/7.0, IIfx/7.1, PB170/7.1, PB180/7.1, Quadra 950/7.1, and on many
other systems by the beta testers.

*If* a demo program refuses to run on your Mac, try giving it more memory.
(Usually, the demos will quit gracefully when out of memory, reporting the
problem.) The memory demand is proportional to your screen depth, so if you
run in 16 or 32 bits, you *will* run out of memory with the default settings.

TEXX Release 0.3                        11/14/93

This is the third release version of the Texx scripting interpreter.
This scripting language is an attempt to implement a version of the
Rexx interpreter that is commonly used on IBM's VM/CMS mainframe
operating system.  This version of Texx is far from a full implementation,
so don't think that you can copy your CMS execs and run them on your Mac.
This is a very minimal implementation, however, it still adds additional
functionality to the Mac OS.  My plans are to keep updating Texx and
hopefully it will mimic the mainframe version very closely.

From: Stuart Cheshire <[e-mail]>
Subject: CMarker

CMarker 0.6b1

I am posting this on behalf of the friend of mine in England who wrote it.

This is an invaluable utility for Think C.

It places a little button next to the close box in the title bar of each source
file window, and when you click on it, a menu of all the functions in the file
drops down. By selecting a name from the menu, it will automatically move to
that function. It makes it incredibly quick to find your way around source
files, especially large ones.

The other useful feature it has is to do with comments. C comments do not nest,
so if you have a block of C full of comments, and you want to comment out the
whole block, then just naively putting comment marks at the beginning and the
end of the block will not work. CMarker allows you to select a block of text,
choose the 'Comment' command from the menu, and it will comment the whole block,
in a way so that the embedded comments don't mess it up. When you later select
the same block again, the menu option changes to 'UnComment' and it will
reverse the changes it made.

This is all it does, but it does it job extremely well. It is unobtrusive,
reliable, and doesn't take much memory. I like it because it does what I
want, and does it well, instead of doing 100 things poorly, which seems to
be the case with so many utilities these days.

This utility has been tested successfully with System 6.0.x and System 7.
It was written for THINK C 4, but works fine with the new THINK C 5.

This is a new version of Marker Control, a control panel that causes
files in THINK C to be marked and their window positions saved.

NEW VERSION v0.6b
  % Fixed a bug where if you had the "Only Mark Files Newer Than:"
    option OFF and moved a window without making any changes to it,
    it set the modified date of the associated file to some time
    in the early 1900s.
  % Made it so that window positions and sizes are saved even if
    you close the windows with "Close All" or by quitting THINK C.
    Before, they were only saved if you actually used "Close" from
    the File menu.
  % Now functions that contain function prototypes as parameters are
    marked.

Executive Summary
-----------------
  % Save window positions in THINK C.
  % Mark functions in source files.
  % Drop RMarker ControlS onto your System Folder and restart.
        Open the RMarker ControlS control panel to configure its operation.
  % Run THINK C and notice the difference.
      - Window positions are saved (open a file, move its window,
        close it, reopen it to try this out)
      - Command-click on the title bar of source file windows to
        see a list of the functions in that file.
  % #pragma mark <yourLabel>    // to mark things other than functions
  % #pragma markOff             // turn marking off until the end of the file or a #pragma markOn

Here is a drag and drop application which appends version numbers (as

becomes "FooWriter 1.2". It is written using Paul Hoffman's Dragonsmith
1.1 and so will recurse through folders. It is also clever enough to
handle aliases and existing version numbers (hopefully avoiding "FooWriter
1.2 1.2" and the like).

available for creating powerful windows containing many views and custom
controls.  In addition to ViewIt, this package includes a complete list
and description of other, non-shareware FaceWare modules that support
advanced custom controls, animation, communications, database management,
QuickDraw(TM) extensions, and 2D and 3D plotting.  FaceWare modules are
reasonably priced, do not require license fees, are compatible with all
major languages and compilers, and are called using a simple C function,
Pascal procedure, or Fortran subroutine (a HyperCard(R) interface is also
available).

ViewIt consists of a powerful set of programming modules that help programmers
manage menus, windows, and other elements of the Macintosh interface in new or
existing programs.  ViewIt is uniquely designed to be much easier to use than
other "interface builders" by requiring a minimal amount of program code (as
little as 3 lines!), and supporting the on-line editing of windows from within
running programs (like HyperCard).  The combination of ViewIt plus Apple's
ResEdit(TM) can be used in place of tools such as MacApp(R) and AppMaker(TM),
or as an enhancement of such tools.  When you decide to purchase ViewIt, the
price is just $95.

ViewIt's major window-related features include:
-- support for editing modal and modeless windows from within running programs
-- multiple fonts, styles, and colors (w/o the limitations of standard ictb
   resources)
-- a variety of useful custom controls (lists, menus, ICON/PICT buttons, etc.)
-- support for extended controls that can be as powerful as complete graphic
   and text editors
-- a view hierarchy that supports scrolling and paging of groups of controls
-- direct links between program variables and control values
-- ability to override all control behavior
-- compatibility with existing CDEFs
-- imports existing dialog DITL resources
-- support for System 7 Balloon Help

The ViewIt package also includes a module that can be used to support standard
items in the main menu bar, tear-off menus, floating palettes, and the required
Apple events.

The complete text of an objective, professional review of ViewIt that appeared
in the Nov/Dec 92 issue of MacTutor is included in the ViewIt demo program,
along with comments from a wide range of programmers who are currently using
ViewIt.

Subject: XLisp 2.1e3 for Macintosh (including source code)

This is the latest version of MacXLisp, 2.1e3.  This supersedes any earlier
version of XLisp you might have, and note that it replaces both "xlispmac"
and "xlispsrc" -- the application and Macintosh-specific source code are
both in this one archive now.

XLisp is a free implementation of Lisp with many features, including object-
oriented extensions and some compatibility with Common Lisp.  This is my port
of XLisp to the Macintosh; it is fully compatible with XLisp applications
written on other operating systems.  Think of this as the "poor man's MCL".

I've added a lot of little bug fixes and enhancements to the interface in
this release, and I'm releasing it primarily so I can make sure they all work
before 2.1f is released.  Please don't hesitate to send me bug reports and
enhancement requests!

===============================================================================

A B O U T  Z O N E R A N G E R

ZoneRanger provides detailed information about each heap zone that is currently
active on the Macintosh. This information includes both the counts and total
sizes of the free blocks, pointers, handles, locked handles, purgeable handles,
and resource handles in each heap zone.

ZoneRanger also provides windows in which a heap zone can be displayed
graphically, with the size, type, and attributes of each block clearly defined.
The user can control the resolution and zoom factor of this display, as well as
click on any individual block to view its contents.

===============================================================================

F E A T U R E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 6

There are no new features in this version.

===============================================================================

B U G   F I X E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 6

ZoneRanger will center all dialogs and alerts on the monitor that contains the
mouse. Similarly, it will position a Zone window that does not have a position
saved in the preferences file at the top of the monitor that contains the
mouse. On machines that do not support Color Quickdraw, these dialogs, alerts,
and windows would be positioned at some random location offscreen. In general,
any machine that uses a ROM from a 68000 machine will not support Color
Quickdraw, and would have exhibited this bug.

The Find dialog allows the user to find those blocks in a Zone window that are
of a certain type, certain size, or contain a certain pattern. An attempt to
find those blocks that contain a case-insensitive ASCII pattern with one or
more non-alphabetic characters would sometimes fail.

===============================================================================

F E A T U R E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 5

Added support for 24-bit addressing.

Added a preferences file. ZoneRanger will now save the size, location, and
configuration of all windows.

Added ability to find blocks in a heap zone according to their type, size, or
contents.

Added ability to control the rates at which the windows are refreshed when
ZoneRanger is in the foreground and when it is in the background.

Added popup menu to Overview window.
Added more detailed balloon help.
Added more status information to Zone window.

Enhanced memory management.
Enhanced stack usage.
Enhanced segmentation strategy.
Enhanced drawing speed in Zone window.
Enhanced error handling.

===============================================================================

B U G   F I X E S   I N   V E R S I O N   0 . 9 . 5

ZoneRanger uses a single offscreen drawing world for all open windows, which is
sized to accommodate the largest of the windows. When the largest window was
closed, the offscreen world was not reduced appropriately.

If an application name contained characters that are meaningful to the menu
manager ( "(", "-", "/" ), then strange things would appear in the Zones menu
for that application.

It would sometimes be difficult to bring a window to the front by clicking on
the title bar of the window.

The scroll bar in the Zone window for a particularly large zone would sometimes
behave erratically.

The maximum size to which a Zone window could be grown was the size of the main
monitor. This proved to be a bad assumption if the main monitor were the
smallest monitor on the system.

The Zone window did not refresh properly when it detected that its heap zone
had increased in size.

A bug exists in the Window Manager of the Macintosh Toolbox in which the grow
box for a window, which includes the outline of the scroll bars, is drawn one
pixel too low if the window is resized while the left edge of the window is
off the screen. To minimize this unsightly problem, ZoneRanger will redraw the
outline of the horizontal scroll bar in its proper position.
