It is pretty much bulletproof, and offers options to hide the desktop (to prevent accidental application switching under System 7). It is basically a point-and-click collection of animal art and sounds. It also has a "Small Kids Mode" which lets very young kids navigate through by simply clicking (without pointing).

"Normal" screensavers cover the whole visible area of the srceen(s) and do their work in idle-times. BlackOut is an application, which works task-friendly in the background while it blanks the second screen (and shows the current time). Windows on this screen are shown as usual. This application takes 34 Kb in RAM and 18 Kb on disk. "BlackOut" is free of charge. New features: - the startup-animation now can be switched off in order to accelerate the startup-process. Old features changed (Bugfixes:-): - fixed a handle which was dereferenced twice, - added a 'mstr'-resource to enable the Finder to quit the program with non-German system software; - the preferences file will now be named as "BlackOut Prefs"; (instead of "BlackBox Prefs" - for those, who wondered.

Update fixes: There was a minor problem when starting a new chainstory: the counter was not updating, thus reducing the demo version to only two users in reality. This has been now fixed. Requires: Hypercard 2.x, System 6.05 (& up) & a Printer (optional). What is the Group-A-Ware Chain-Stor-Eaze=A9=81 You are invited to participate in a Chain-Stor-Eaze Project. You will start the story with the first paragraph. You will append a new sentence to this paragraph. This is the next participant's task: to continue the chain. Each participant will be responsible for adding one paragraph and one main idea sentence to the story. The story will go to each participant with a new main idea sentence to be developed by that participant. When the paragraph is complete, that participant will be able to shape the next paragraph of the story by creating the new main idea for that paragraph and sending to the next participant on the list. (In the above, you can substitute *Individual*, *group* or *Classroom* or *school* in place of *participant*. The procedure is the same, just the recipient changes). Starting with the administrator and continuing until the story has made one complete circuit through the list of individuals (Group, class, school). This activity may be done within a classroom (individuals or groups), or done with groups between Classroom(s) , or, should your school have file-sending capabilities, between schools (over either a BBS system, or internet.) The schools could be within varying geographic areas. Limits in Demo version: restricted to 3 users. Otherwise complete.

How about a way to check whether your files have changed over time without you knowing it? Here is Checksum for the Macintosh, version 1.1. Checksum is the ultimate Macintosh application for calculating checksums for a file. This utility is fully compatible with the Unix(tm) "sum" program (and the POSIX "cksum" program). It can be used to verify that files transferred between machines match by comparing checksum values instead of transferring the files and comparing the actual files themselves. It is even smart enough to translate end-of-line characters between Unix, MS-DOS and Macintosh 'TEXT' files. Checksum is the easiest way to compare files on the Macintosh, either on the same system or on different machines. Fully System 7 and 32-bit addressing compatible, including balloon help and "drag and drop" capability. It will run under either System 6 or System 7 on a Mac Plus or higher. New in this release is the RSA MD5 checksum algorithm, more display options, benchmarking capability, as well as all known bugs fixed. Checksum is business-ware: it is freeware for personal use on a single CPU and for educational institutions for instructional uses, but it is shareware ($5) for use in a business, corporation, organization or government. Site license information is also included. Verify this file when you download it against its default checksum value using Checksum or with the Unix "sum" command ("sum -r" on System V): 06698 89897 bytes Checksum1.1.sit Geoff Walsh gpw@cerf.net [Archived as /info-mac/disk/checksum-11.hqx; 122K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Mar 1994 10:46:25 -0800 (PST) From: jbum@netcom.com (Jim Bumgardner) Subject: [*] Cheese Toast 1.0.1 (Game + SourceCode) This is an update of my asteroids-inspired game Cheese Toast.

I hope you like it. Feel free to replace the sprites and/or sounds. This archive contains the (uncommented, undocumented) Think C source code as an aid to Programmers who are interested in such things. To run the game, you only need the application "Cheese Toast" and the file "CT Resources". CheeseToast requires a color mac with a 12" monitor or larger and 32-bit Quickdraw. CheeseToast is free. The reason CheeseToast is free is because I don't have time to a) Polish It and b) Handle technical support or programming questions. Please don't include CheeseToast or it's source code in Shareware collections that cost money without receiving my permission. If you would like to do a major revision of CheeseToast, let me know! Changes for version 1.0.1: Cheese Toast now runs correctly on 12 inch monitors, and it centers properly on monitors larger than 13 inches.

This Archive contains a shareware version of Co-OOPs=A9 by Simulnet=81. Thi= s is a series of Hypercard stacks which were designed for educational use with two specific objectives in mind. You will need Hypercard Player or Hypercard 2.x to run these stacks. Macintalk, a system extension enabling speech synthesis is also preferred. The Co-OOPs system will function without Macintalk, but uses speech extensively. A. To act as a primer with which to enable children to learn some basic Workgroup skills. The stacks are comprised of regular log-in procedures, password protection. This system goes beyond regular text messages in that it allows the users to access sounds, graphics, databases from within their prime documents. The documents are presented as stories for the students to build. The document may also be a project or presentation. These documents are collaborative efforts on the parts of any users on the net. Co-OOPs=A9 handles these documents much in the same way as PowerTalk and Object-Oriented Operating Systems will in the near future. Co-OOPs=A9, in essence, is a document-based network operating system with characteristics akin to a distributed hypermedia system, albeit simulated. Up to 60 users may participate. (the number is actually not limiting--just that performance degrades once exceeding this number). The problem often confronted by teachers and students is that sometimes the hardware becomes available BEFORE there is a foundation for it's use. Thus many a time networked systems are introduced that act as no more than simple file and printer servers. Co-OOPs=A9 is designed to instill in the students the basi= c desire and thinking habits necessary for effective messaging between participants, and for effective workgroup collaborative computing. B. To enable both the teachers and students who do not have access to modems, phone lines, networked computers, or funds, to start in the excitement of networking. Because Co-OOPs=A9 functions on a single computer= , (it is a multi-user asynchronous network model), it requires little investment in terms of hardware, nor training. With a simple Mac Plus, a hard disk and printer, the students and teachers can start to investigate some of the techniques and problems encountered with network use. Co-OOPs= =A9 does not simulate any single networking scheme. Rather it provides a simple model which allows the users to network together , now, without having to worry about learning techniques required with specific systems, nor face the hardware constraints which are often inevitable. It is more a model to develop the *culture* of networking than a specific training tool. As such, it is also useful in the situation of being a primer for the students so that they do not eat up too much bandwith nor time on the real nets until they learn some basic skills, both computer and messaging. Co-OOPs is Shareware. If you intend to continue use of Co-OOPs=A9 please fill out the relevant licencing registration form enclosed at the end of this file. Co-OOPs=A9 is not public domain, nor to be considered freeware, i= t is copyrighted , 1993, with all rights reserved world-wide to Venanzio Jelenic.

CTerm may be the product you need. It enables dial-up connections to IBM mainframes through IBM (or compatible) protocol converters such as the 7171 or 3174 with the appropriate dial-up support. All that is needed is a modem, the Communication Toolbox (or System 7, since the CommToolbox is built-in), and a connection tool (such as Apple's modem tool). CTerm implements the same terminal emulation as IBM's FTTerm software, often referred to as Async 3270 or IBM 3101 emulation (it is actually an "extended subset" of the 3101 emulation). Two other software packages exist for the Mac to perform this function; both are commercial products which are fairly expensive. CTerm is shareware. If you find it useful, a modest $20 registration fee is requested. Here's an overview of CTerm's features: * Completely Mac-like (not some quick port) * Four-color support, including alternate background colors * Support for any fixed-width font in any point size * Pass-through printing from a host through an appropriately- configured protocol converter * Uses the extended keyboard to its maximum capabilities, while offering addition PF key options for those with a standard keyboard * MINIMAL IND$FILE file download support (this is not a published protocol; IBM won't disclose it, and I don't have the time to reverse-engineer it) Of course, technical support is provided.

When it receives the connection (for the appropriate user), it sends an AppleEvent to Eudora to check your mail. The end result (when coupled with a .forward file on your UNIX machine or compatible mechanism on a VMS machine or a Macintosh mail server) is that you will almost immediately receive your electronic mail when it arrives on your UNIX machine. You no longer have to tell Eudora to check your mail every X minutes. System Requirements: System 7.0.0 or higher, MacTCP 1.1 or higher, Eudora 1.4 or higher, a static IP address, POP account on a UNIX or VMS machine or POP account on a Macintosh running MailShare NotifyMail 2.1.0 is distributed as shareware.

I particularly dislike the fact that most of the fish only move horizontally. Anyone who has ever looked at real fish will attest that they actually have a much more interesting lifethey move vertically and diagonally, too! Now, this problem doesn't rank up there with nuclear war, famine, hurricanes, or anything like that, but still... . Anyway, here are some free fixes to this and other annoyances. The "Aquarium Kit" will give you little turtles that swim both horizontally and diagonally. Also, baby sharks (don't worry, they're cute and don't molest the other fish) flit along the bottom of the aquarium. And the fish bowl floor can have a new decoration besides that dull fern, or seaweed, or whatever it is. Now you can have a mound of handsome rocks with small plants that gently wave in the current (your fish bowl does have tidal currents, doesn't it?). These items are for 256 color Macs only.

Martinez) Subject: archive/submission plans/ideas Well, I haven't heard much discussion yet about this so I thought I'd bring it up. Have there been plans made yet on how to have submissions and the archives handle 68k/ppc/fat submissions? I bring this up so we can try and avoid the problem of 680x0 mac users downloading pure ppc-native code files that won't run on their systems. Basically, I submit the following guidelines (for discussion) for submitting files: 1) Current files in the archives have names like foo.hqx. A user should always assume this is 68k binary. This is fairly safe as it will at least run on both. Saves globally renaming all those existing files... 2) PPC-only code files should be named foo.ppc.hqx. 3) Gradually, 68k-only code files should be renamed foo.68k.hqx 4) Fat-binary files (both types of code) should be namedd foo.fat.hqx 5) Header notes should PROMINANTLY state the nature of the code in this regard. I also think it might be useful for the short term to have a /info-mac/ppc/ directory for storing an FAQ, bug reports, tip files, utilities, patches, etc. that are specific to the Power Macintoshes that might be crucial in the first few months of break-in. Hopefully the intro will go smoothly, but this could help a lot. Note I don't advocate storing all ppc applications there, just critical stuff such as drivers, formatters, patches and most importantly: information.

You are looking the wrong place for Mac development jobs. Very few are actually advertised in the national press, and it is a measure of their desperation that this company has to do so. If you meet their requirements, you can probably specify your salary. There is Mac work to be had: we survived the recession on a diet of Mac projects alone. Companies may give Windows priority, but the Mac user base is sufficiently big that it won't be ignored. Indeed my last 2 contracts (and, with luck, the next one :-) involved porting appls to the Mac from Unix and Windows. One of the things that I do is helping to run a Mac developer's group in the UK, and in January alone, we had over a dozen requests from companies looking Mac developers for various projects. There may be 10 times as many looking for Windows developers, but there is still a living to be made out of the Mac.

When I went to the apple menu the icons for; alarm clock, note pad, puzzle, key caps and keyfinder were all changed to the generic application icon. What happened and how do I fix it? 2) In every folder that I open a file called Update Temp appears. I checked for its type and creator but the boxes are blank. It shows up on the eDisked drive and sometimes in the non-eDisked partition I have my system on. When it shows up on my system partition it's in the apple menu folder. Does any one have any idea what this file does and how it gets in my folders? What should I do about it? I'd like to thank everybody who reads info-mac the solutions to my problems in the past have been great! Is it proper netiquette to thank each person individually after I get a response to my questions?

One Apple chart I have says 16-bit color is the max, and another one says 24-bit (with 2 MB of VRAM). Which is right? Is there some software utility that checks available VRAM slots and tells me what is actually installed? TattleTale 1.7.4 doesn't do it. We've got a Quadra 800 that's about a year old and we're trying to get 24-bit color from an old AppleColor Hi-Res RGB monitor. I think we have 1 (or 1-1/2?) MB of VRAM -- at any rate it displays 16-bit (Thousands) and not 24-bit (Millions) of colors. We're doing some graphics stuff that would work better with 24-bit color -- and besides some of the PhotoShop utilities on the CD seem to require it. Also attached to the Quadra is an old Apple 2-page grayscale with 16 grays. It's got a funky card with what looks like bullet holes in the connector in place of some of the pins. Can that be upgraded to display 256 grays? If so, how? What I'm hoping, of course, is that I can buy a couple of SIMMs cheap and see much better images on the screen. This video display stuff is pretty odd -- I noticed the other day that with the color monitor set to Thousands, graphics applications could only display 32 shades of gray. Yet with the Control Panel set to 256 (Colors or Grays), applications like PhotoShop can display the full 256 grayscale range. (I'm assuming with 24-bit, it will display any possible combination of RGB values.) One of the mysteries of QuickDraw, I guess.

The other day the internal screen lost its horizontal sweep (I assume since it now only has a vertical line for a display). At first, it wasn't a problem since I also use an external Pivot LE. Unfortunately, today when I started my Mac it seems to be booting onto the internal screen instead of the external one. Oops, that doesn't work too well. What I want to know is 1) is there any way I can make the SE/30 boot onto the external monitor without having access to the internal one and 2) if I can't boot onto the external monitor where can I buy a new or remanufactured internal monitor? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Tom Burris (burrman@metronet.com) ------------------------------ End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
