Subject: [*] Black Chancery extended font

Greetings,

After quite some time of downloading, it's about time to upload something.
A while ago, I downloaded the Black Chancery font, originally a bitmap
font by Doug Miles. It had been converted to TrueType by Dave Platt.

Unfortunately, even though I liked the font very much, it was of limited
use, since it did not have all the accented characters, which are much used
here in Mexico. However, last week a friend let me use Fontographer 3.5 on
his machine, so I was able to try and complete the font. Feeble attempts,
no doubt, for I am not a professional typographer, but I've tried to reuse
the elements already on the font (such as the tilde, acute & grave accents,
etc.), so as to avoid clashing with the style of the font.

Since I won't have the opportunity to truly complete all the missing
characters, it will have to remain as-is, unless some kind soul undertakes
the task. Enclosed you'll find the binhexed, stuffed folder containing
the bitmapped, TrueType and Postscript font files, as well as the Fontographer
workfile and Dave Platt's Readme.

Caveats:  According to the font attributes listed by Fontographer, it is in
the public domain; if it is not please let me know. The bitmaps I've included
are in 9, 10, 12, 18, 20, and 24 points, although the original was in 24
points; Fontographer did a good job of regenning (especially the smaller
sizes) and the font is quite readable, even at 9 points, although it is a
heavy font. Finally, I added "Xtd" to the original name, Black ChanceryXtd,
to reflect that it has been extended with extra characters; it will,
however, appear as "Black Chancery" in the menu when installed (goes to
show that it is the first time I've gotten my grubby hands on Fontographer).

Enjoy,

Juan

P.S. A request to all typographers developing fonts out there: please complete
     the character sets, at least to include the accented and the n-tilde
     chars. All of us who have to use these characters to properly write our
     native language will be very grateful (this is also true of European
     users, mind you).

Description:
% School Administrator Databases%

This file contains five  ClarisWorks databases  that are designed to
increase the productivity of public school administrators and their staff.
They require ClarisWorks 2.0.

% Transfer Data- This database keeps track of requests for transfer of
funds from one account to another. It also has a form layout for printing
your request.

% Budget Database- This database is used keep an up to date balance of
accounts. It is designed to calculate balances. You no longer need your
calculator !

% Budget P.O.- This database is used to process purchase orders. All you
do is enter all of the pertinent information. ClarisWorks 2.0 does the
rest! One layout is used to print your purchase order request on an
existing form. (You may have to arrange it to fit your forms.)

% Student Database- This database is used for student demographic data. It
also has a birthday layout so that you can send birthday notes to your
students by mail merging!

% Student Discipline Data- This is the latest database that I have
developed. This database is used to keep track of student discipline. It
takes advantage of one of ClarisWorks 2.0 's newest feature, auto entry.
This feature makes it very easy to enter discipline data.

This is the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list for comp.sys.mac.comm
=======================================================================

This list of frequently asked questions and answers is intended to help
reduce the number of "often asked questions" that make the rounds here
in comp.sys.mac.comm. Since comp.sys.mac.comm is intended as a forum to
discuss telecommunication (and related issues) that are specific to the
Macintosh, most questions about modems, telecommunications in general,
and other non-Macintosh specific communication questions are not listed
here. The proper newsgroup for such questions is usually comp.dcom.modems.

Here it is as requested:
Conflict Catcher II (Demo)

Just released - the essential Macintosh Startup Software Manager=
 and
Problem Solver.

Problem Solving:
80% of the problems with your Macintosh are software related. Conflict
Catcher II is just what you need to pinpoint your miserable startup
software problems such as crashes, frozen screens, printing problems=
 and
more. We test your actual existing startup software, not merely consult
some outdated database of problems. The tests can be logged for later
review.

Startup Software Management:
Conflict Catcher II is also a comprehensive startup software manager=
 which
saves you time and memory.  Now you can:
* Enable only the startup software that you need to get a particular=
 job done.
* Create sets of startup files that you use for different jobs. Sets=
 can be
enabled at startup with a simple keystroke.
* Link startup software that must run together, must never run together=
 or
that has to load in a certain order.
* Manage your fonts (under System 7.1 or later) by allowing fonts=
 to be
activated or deactivated, providing better memory management. Turn=
 font
files on and off to allow more memory and a more usable font menu.=
=20
* Generate complete system reports, including RAM requested and used=
 by
startup files.
* Reorder startup files without renaming them
* Load aliases of your favorite startup files to a startup RAM disk=
 which
saves memory and battery life on a Powerbook=81.
* Can show hidden startup icons, hide all startup icons, force icons=
 to
wrap around and even pause the startup screen showing all icons.
=20

=46or entry-level and power users alike - no Macintosh should be=
 without it!

If you have startup software problems and you are using System 7=
 or later,
simply download the solution - Conflict Catcher II.

This demonstration version will function for 3 days from the time=
 of
installation.  At that time, it will expire and deactivate itself.

Subject: [*] CopyDoubler 2.0.1 Lite Patcher

August 16, 1993

Welcome!

This program patches the following versions of CopyDoubler to CopyDoubler 2.0
Lite:

o CopyDoubler* 1.0 (AutoDoubler version)
o CopyDoubler* 1.0.1A (AutoDoubler version)
o CopyDoubler* 2.0 Lite

This patcher does not patch CopyDoubler 1.0.1, the full version of CopyDoubler
2.0, or the CopyDoubler 2.0 Demo. A separate patcher is available for the full
version of CopyDoubler 2.0. Users of CopyDoubler 1.0.1 (the standalone version
not shipped with AutoDoubler) should contact Fifth Generation Systems about
upgrading to the full version of CopyDoubler 2.0.1.

This patching program will automatically patch the installed copy if it can be
located.  To patch a specific copy of CopyDoubler, hold down the option key
while clicking the "Patch" button.  If you are patching the installed version
(the default), you must restart your Macintosh after the patching process is
finished for the changes to take effect.

CopyDoubler 1.0 and 1.0.1A users:  CopyDoubler 2.0 Lite is very similiar to
CopyDoubler 1.0.x, with the additional ability of compressing files as they
are
copied. To use this feature, hold down the Control key (Shift for Mac Plus
users) while invoking a copy to bring up an options dialog, where compression
and other one-time options can be set.

CopyDoubler 2.0.1 Lite Changes:

o Fixed a compatibility problem where CopyDoubler Lite would not perform a
copy if Apple's PowerTalk (AOCE) or Personal File Assistant software is
installeed

o Fixed a bug where CopyDoubler Lite would compress invisible files when
compressing while copying.

o Fixed a bug where files on a hard disk could get deleted when drag copying a
blank floppy disk onto another floppy disk.

o Fixed a bug where CopyDoubler Lite was trying to handle copying to and from
MFS formatted disks and producing an error. The Finder should now handle all
copies to and from MFS disks.

o Fixed a bug where an applications reference in the desktop file wasnt always
getting deleted when that application itself was deleted by the user.

o Fixed a bug where copying files between floppies could produce a file
already
exists error.

o Fixed a bug which could cause the Mac to ask the user to reinsert ejected
floppy disks when a copy was invoked, even if the copy did not involve the
ejected floppy.

Subject: [*] Greg's Buttons 3.1.1

Greg's Buttons v3.1.1 (22 August 1993)    (c)1991-93 Gregory D. Landweber
REGISTRATION FEE:  US $15  or  UK L10     Internet: [e-mail]

Greg's Buttons is a control panel that lets you customize the user interface
of a Macintosh running System 7.  Greg's Buttons requires that your Mac
support color, so it won't work on the Plus, SE, Classic, or PowerBook 100.
It works fine with both color and gray-scale monitors, and although it will
still work on a black and white screen, the effect will not be as impressive.

Changes since v3.1
 -----------------
o Fixed the conflict with the Now Menus application substitution feature.
o Updated the contact information.  You can now register using CompuServe.

List of Features
 ---------------
o Replaces the standard flat black and white push buttons, check boxes,
  and radio buttons with tasteful 3-D color ones.  These buttons are
  designed to complement the windows and scroll bars in the System 7
  interface, and in particular they use the color tints that you can
  select in the "Color" control panel.  You can choose from two styles
  of push buttons and three styles of radio buttons and check boxes.
o Lets you select the background color of dialog boxes, menus (both
  the text and background colors), and Finder windows.
o Substitutes a font of your choice (chosen from Palatino and two
  versions of Helvetica) for Chicago as your system font.
o Colorizes the mini icons (the smallest size that you can select
  in the "Views" control panel) in Finder list views (View by Name,
  Date, Size, Kind, Label, Version, Comment, Astrological Sign, etc).
o Colorizes the stop sign, caution, and note alert icons.

Notes
-----
o If you colorize your menus and use "thousands of colors", you may get
  gibberish in the menu bar when you launch an application.  This is a
  bug in the system software, and there is nothing I can do about it.
o If you colorize your dialog boxes, you may notice that alerts are drawn
  with a grayed-out border.  This is a known bug in the system software.

WELCOME to a demonstration of IN CONTROL.

If you have ever used outlining software such as MORE or Acta, you will
find IN CONTROL to be familiar and powerful. And even if you're not
familiar with traditional outlining software, you'll find the concepts easy
to grasp and instantly useful.

IN CONTROL adds a whole new dimension of power beyond what is available in
simple outliners. With IN CONTROL you can add new columns of information
associated with each topic in the outline. And you can use these new
columns to arrange and quickly re-arrange your outline into different
orders. So you can see the top priority things to do for the California
project, or all the things assigned to Ellis that are due before next
Friday. With the click of a button, you can also see your to-do list
displayed in an interactive calendar view.

IN CONTROL is unlike ordinary calendar or outline programs. While calendars
can remind you of upcoming events, only IN CONTROL helps you decide WHAT TO
DO as well as when to do it.

IN CONTROL is the only To-Do List Manager that lets you organize all your
activities in an outline in a prioritized list and on your calendar. You
choose the organization that's best.

Starting to use IN CONTROL doesn't require a big investment of time or
effort. Just type in your list and IN CONTROL is ready to help you juggle
priorities, decide what to do next, and remember important dates,
assignments, and details.

You can set priorities, assign responsibilities, choose dates, and
instantly sort your list in order based on any of these values. And you can
quickly focus on just those items in the list that match any criteria you
specify. You can view your lists as outlines, calendars, or both.

____________ REQUIREMENTS

IN CONTROL requires the following equipment and software:
        Macintosh Plus or greater, including any current
            Macintosh model.
        System Software version 6.0.5 or later, or 7.0 or later
        600K bytes of memory; more for larger files
        Two 800K floppy disk drives or a hard disk

System 7 Users: IN CONTROL provides Balloon Help, supports TrueType and the
required AppleEvents, and is 32-bit compatible.

This report compares the Mac and IBM machines CPUs, hardware {monitor
support and expansion}, operating systems {includes number crunching},
networking & printing; it covers not only present hardware/software
statistics and features but also future possibilities.
Despite its condensed and generalized format it still provides some thought-

Subject: [*] Macintosh Power Off/On Article

Several people have requested copies of the article by Tim Oey on turning
Macs on/off and how it affects computer lifetime.  This is information that
everyone who owns a Mac should look at, since it gives guidelines on how
you can make your computer last as long as possible.  Tim has generously
agreed to make the information available electronically.

Here is the latest version of that article, in text format.  See the notes
at the end for more information on distribution guidelines.

Subject: [*] Mac Screensave/After Dark FAQ v1.4

Here's v1.4 of the Mac screensaver/After Dark FAQ. A copy should go wherever
you archive the After Dark modules, and an alias or other copy wherever you
keep other screensavers. I'd be grateful if you could call one 'After Dark
FAQ' and the other 'Screensaver FAQ', to make sure that people look at it.
Thanks.

And I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Leslie Jones for his Zterm
FAQ. Without the 'increase port buffer' advice therein, you wouldn't be
reading this - it's the only thing that stopped ZTerm from crashing once
my uni. server had received 16K of text and the *?!@ terminal server caused
a backup that crashed ZTerm as it reached 20K and overflowed the standard
4K buffer. (And reinstalling everything I could think of was an interesting
diversion before I hit on this.)

Thanks, Leslie. And thanks, Dave Alverson, for a neat piece of software.
Come the next version of ZTerm and its rumoured Kermit facilities, I might
even be able to download from my *?!@ terminal server, since zmodem et al
won't work that way... although I doubt it.

Subject: [*] mod-info.txt

There are _NO_ standard sample rate for the samples used in modules.
But most often the samples are done on the rate called C-3 (which is
about 16574 Hz if you have a PAL machine). Sometimes drums are sampled
at A-3 (around 28 kHz), and some sounds are at ~8 kHz or anything else
to save space.

The sample rate on each of the channels can be selected by a period value,
which tells the hardware how many ~3.5 MHz clocks to count down before
playing the next sample. If you have a 16 kHz sample you simply play
it at a note that gives you 16 kHz sample rate. If you play it one octave
lower, you get a 8 kHz sample rate (and a double period value).

Okay, here we go....

You've probably seen and scored yourself on the Purity Test, the Talk.Bizarre
test, the Nerd test, and numerous others. And now, for the second time, we
present the...

OFFICIAL COMP.SYS.MAC TEST (NOT)!
VERSION 2!!!

Based on the sayings and doings of the group over the recent months.
This September 1993 test may be out of date very soon - suggestions to
/dev/null.

This test is scored purely on experience points. If you can answer 'yes' to
a question, it's an experience point, and you follow the indented related
questions. If you answer no, score nothing for that question, and look at
the next question at the same indentation level.

Score an extra point every time you admit to being smug.

The more the points, the more your guru status, and the smugger you must be.
If you score maximum points, you obviously cheated.

This test is not for the humo(u)r... differently-abled.

Peeping Tom v1.1    9/93

Copyright )1993, Bret Olmsted
All Rights Reserved.

Peeping Tom is a shareware init/background application that
keeps track of the current applications and desk accessories
that are open.  When processes are quit, Peeping Tom writes
the information that it has on the dead process to a text file
in the System Folder.  The log file shows information on when
each process was started and the total time it ran.  Peeping
Tom also shows the average CPU usage of the process.  The
percentage represents how much the process used of the CPU
while the process was running.

Peeping Tom is very useful for monitoring computers.  Peeping
Tom sits in the background and silently monitors the user's
activities.  It keeps track of time spent on the computer,
which is perfect for those who bill their customers on a hourly
basis.  Peeping Tom outputs to a text file that can then be
easily searched.

While running, Peeping Tom takes almost no processing time
away from other applications.  Because of this, the times in
the log file can be off by as much as three seconds (which is
a very small price to pay).  Peeping Tom comes alive every
five seconds and scans for processes.  Any process's that have
died are immediately logged to the log file.

The default file type is 'TEXT' and the default creator type
is 'KAHL'.  This can very easily be changed using a program
like ResEdit.  I have created a template to make the changing
of these settings very easy.

Peeping Tom requires System 7 because of the Process Manager
dependence.

Pentominoes 1.3 adds support for apple events, speeds up screen updates,

there are now menu items for placing and removing pieces, to accomodate
users who may have difficulty double-clicking.

System 6 and 7 compatible; supports B/W, grayscale, and color monitors;
includes sounds.  Sounds work under system 6, but may require 6.0.7.

Pentominoes is free; there is no shareware fee.  You may redistribute it

copying fees to cover costs.  For the latest version of Pentominoes or any

 - A complete rewrite of essential parts was taken to make PopChar
   compatible with Microsoft Works 3.0.
 - The incompatibility with MacWrite Pro was resolved.
 - PopChar can now be invoked from an icon menu next to the help menu
   (System 7 only).
 - Up to 255 characters can now be inserted in the "More" mode.
 - The hiliting of the menus was removed.
 - The font size is now chosen such that the character chart always fits
   on the main monitor.
 - The frame around the "P" icon is not drawn on secondary monitors any
   more.
 - The PopChar settings are now stored in a preferences file rather than
   ion a resource in the control panel itself.
 - The PopChar icon was made more "System-7-ish".
 - The "ATR patch" was removed. It isn't necessary any more.
 - The documentation was converted to TeachText format.

For those who do not know what PopChar is for:
PopChar is a control panel that simplifies "typing" of unusual characters.
Click the PopChar icon in the menu bar, select the character you want,
and PopChar automatically inserts it in the current document as if you had
typed the proper key combination on the keyboard.

Subject: [*] POPMail 2.0.9, belongs in comm

Here is POPMail II, version 2.0.9, an e-mail client that can talk to POP,
POP2, POP3 and IMAP2 mail servers. You'll also need MacTCP (sold by Apple),
a connection to The Internet, and a mail server.

This supercedes version 2.0.8, which is presently on the archives.

Update information from the ReadMe follows.

POPmail 2.09 Features
 --------------------
1.  Now able to support multiple settings files without needing multiple
copies
of POPMail.

2.  If someone is unkind enough to send a partial binhex enclosure it will
first
try to decode the enclosure.  If it finds that it has received all of the
message and can not finish decoding because it is incomplete, it does the
following.  It will fetch the message again treating it as a text message and
shows the entire message, - partial enclosure and all as message text.

3.  The following has become a standard feature.  When messages are deleted
they
are moved into the trash.  They will be permanently deleted when the user
quits
POPmail.  If you delete a message and want it back do the following.  Go into
the trash.  Drag the likely message out of the trash folder to some
location (Only because the finder will not let you open files in the
trash).
And then double-click on it.  POPMail will open it in a simple text window
document.  If it is the one you wish to keep move it back into the incoming
message directory.

4.  Check out the Search Files program.  It is Shareware so if you like it
please send the author his shareware fee.  :-)  You can use this little
application to search your message directory or a tree of directories such as
a
folder which contains all of your archive folders.  And it will search down
into
the directories contained within folders within folders.  It is quite fast
and works quite nicely in the background.
    It will show the file where it found a match for the search string and a
short line of context for it.  You can choose to see all hits in a file or
just
the first hit.  Double-click on a line it displays and the message (archive or
incoming) will open in a simple text window.  Can be nice if you wish to send
a
summary of several messages received or just read several messages while
composing a reply.

5.  Messages that are archived with this version will retain their correct
position.  So that they show up in the correct order when viewed by date which
is the normal ordering.  They will show up at the end of an archive when
archived.  But when the archive is re-opened later they sort out to their
correct position.

6.  An Enclosures directory has been added.  The directory if not specified
will
be created automatically in the same directory as the POPmail application when
a
user does their first fetch.


POPmail 2.09 Fixes
 -----------------
1.  Fixed memory leak in dns code.  Introduced in version 2.07.  Likely to go
unnoticed by most people.  But MailStop users would notice that they received
a
'memory is low' dialog often.  This dns code would occasionally not timeout
requiring a kill of the program.  Timeouts are friendly and have returned.

2.  Fixed a bug in the Set Folder Dialog for System 7.x users.  Dialog did not
always retain the full info.  On next restart the user would get a 'Please set
the folder location' Dialog.

3.  Fixed a memory leak in the email groups.  Each time you edited the groups
you would lose an amount of memory equal to that used to store the groups.
This
has been there since the very first version of POPmail II.

4.  Fixed the Append Text option.  First, it no longer does any formatting of
the appended text.  It just reads it and sends it.  This also fixes the
problem
of seeing the appended text scrolling by in the sender window.  Also fixes the
bomb that would occur if you closed the sender window before it finished
appending.

Subject: [*] So To Speak 1.0b10

So To Speak is an application built in Serius Workshop which uses Apple's
new Speech Manager (aka. MacInTalk II, MacInTalk Pro, PlainTalk, and Gala
Tea. Geez!) To use So To Speak, you need version 1.0.b5 or later of the
Speech Manager.

So To Speak implements most, if not all, of the functions of the Speech
Manager. With So To Speak you can have mulitple voices speaking at the same
time, choose the voice to use from a pop-up menu listing all the available
voices, vary the pitch and rate of the voices as they are speaking, pause
and stop the speaking immediately, at the end of the current word, or at
the end of the current sentence, and continue paused speech.

Date: Fri, 17 Sep 93 18:48:42 -0700
From: "(Michael A. Kelly)" <[e-mail]>


This is a playable demonstration version of the commercial action/arcade
game Space Madness.  Space Madness is a space shoot-em-up in the tradition
of Asteroids, similar to Lunatic Fringe but much more complex and
challenging.  Check out the review in the July issue of Inside Mac Games.
IMG gave it a rating of 4 (out of 5).

This demonstration version lets you play three levels, which correspond
roughly to levels 3, 8, and 10 in the real game.  Space Madness is
available now in fine stores worldwide.  Ask for it at your favorite
retail outlet, or call [phone] to order direct from the publisher.

For more information, call [phone], or email to [e-mail].

Enjoy!

Subject: [*] Space Junkie 1.1

Space Junkie 1.1 submission (NEW VERSION)
 ----------------------------------------

Space Junkie is a shareware color arcade game for the Macintosh somewhat
based on the classic game Galaxian. It features colorful graphics, fast and
smooth 60fps animation and arcade-like sounds.

NEW IN THIS VERSION:
* Keyboard control
* Bonus ship every five waves
* Manual screen selection
* Minor bug fixes
Please consult the Read Me file for more info.

This game requires the following minimum hardware configuration:
- A color Macintosh with a 68020 CPU or better.
- A color or grayscale display with at least 16 colors and a minimum size of
512x384 pixels.
- At least 350Kb to run.
- 80 Kb on your hard disk (I hope that's not too much to ask for... :-)

Space Junkie is compatible with all known and reasonable Macintosh
configurations. It runs under either 24-bit or 32-bit mode and with any
number of monitors. It is compatible with both System 6 and 7 and was tested
on the Macintosh SE/30, II, LC, Color Powerbook, IIfx, IIsi, Color Classic,
IIci, Centris and Quadra computers.

Space Junkie is shareware. This means that I'd like you to register by
sending me US$15 if you like Space Junkie and subsequently decide to keep
it. Personal checks or money orders are welcome. This small fee is to
encourage me to support Space Junkie and write more new exciting software.
Thanks in advance for supporting shareware. You can reach me at the
following address:

Listing of Speech Manager/MacInTalk Pro/PlainTalk aware applications, 6e

(Display in small monofont, e.g., 9pt Courier)

Here are some of the Speech Manager aware text-to-speech (TTS)
applications that I know of (there are more on the Apple Developer
CD-ROMs). If I've missed some, please feel free to add to the list
and also let me know if you disagree with my "Comments." You'll
probably need to increase the memory allocations of Speech Manager
aware applications if you want to use the high quality voices (I
generally add a Meg or two because the high quality voices need a lot
of RAM). As for some applications, the ones I've been playing with
follow.

Startup Screen Picker is a simple INIT; drop it in your system folder

screen (displayed while system extensions are loading at bootup).
This archive contains a README file explaining how to use it (e.g.
where to put the startup screen files you want to choose from), what
to expect, and a few things to keep in mind.  (They're not bugs;
they're features.  "I _meant_ to do that." :)

Startup Screen Picker is free; there is no shareware fee.  Please

for all of the episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It uses a
Federation-style interface to present the information to you. You can store
information on your video tape collection here, scan the episode synopses,
read the episode notes, and produce three different types of reports on
groups of episodes. It has been upgraded with some new features, many
suggested by the users themselves.

There are two additional stacks that go along with the TNG stack; one for
The Next Generation (TNG) and the other for the original Star Trek series

Subject: [*] Symbionts 2.2.2

As author of Symbionts 2.2.2 I'm sending you a stuffed and binhexed copy to
be included in your archive.  I've included a brief description below:

This is a complete distribution of Symbionts 2.2.2 which replaces version
2.2.
Users who already have 2.2 may download a separate self applying patch which
is much smaller (transmission times), but produces the same version as that
included in this package.

Symbionts is an extension that monitors the startup process.  Symbionts
displays the name and number of bytes of memory each system extension
allocates from the system heap.  The name and number appear beneath the
extension's icon, and since the name is usually truncated, Symbionts also
displays it in the menu bar.  Symbionts even shows the icons for those
extensions that don't normally reveal themselves.

Symbionts Control is a control panel that sets the preferences for the
Symbionts extension.  It also allows the review of the information collected
by the Symbionts extension.  Additionally, the control panel is used to
manage the loading of system extensions without having to dig around in the
System folder.  Extension can be enabled and disabled simply by
double-clicking on the extension icon and name.

Both items require System 7.0 or higher.  Comments and wish lists welcome.
Please send all correspondences to [e-mail].

This is a self applying patch that upgrades Symbionts 2.2 or Symbionts 2.2.1
to version 2.2.2.  2.2.1 and 2.2.2 fix minor problems:

 - 2.2 occasionally reported that a set was changed and asked the user to
   save changes even when the set was not changed.
 - 2.2 and 2.2.1 would not replace duplicate files when System 7 Personal
   AppleShare was active.
 - 2.2 and 2.2.1 Symbionts Control was slow to open on some machines.

Symbionts is an extension that monitors the startup process.  Symbionts

Verifile is a small utility that calculates a checksum and a

dropped on it. This is useful if you want to compare two
files that are not on the same machine without having to
copy them over a network or modem connection. If the
hexadecimal numbers displayed by Verifile match, chances are
that the two files are equal.

1.0.1 fixes a nasty bug which used to occur under System 6.
