Subject: [*] AliasZoo 2.0.4; an alias management utility

AliasZoo 2.0.4 is a utility for finding, renaming, deleting, testing, and
re-connecting aliases on your Mac.

Version 2.0.4 adds the following new features:

1) Support for PowerTalk has been added: AliasZoo can now handle
   aliases to PowerTalk business cards without freezing.
2) Drag and Drop is now supported: aliases can be re-connected by
   dragging files from the finder (or anywhere else that generates
   HFS flavored drags) onto AliasZoo.

Requires System 7. The Drag and Drop extension from Apple is required
to use Drag and Drop.

Subject: [*] Coloring Book; a digital coloring book

Thanks to all of you who sent in your shareware fee for version 1.0 and 1.1.
Usually the payments came with a brief note describing how much fun your
children and grandchildren were having with the program.  It made my day to
find a thankyou and a check every now and then in the mail. I even got a few
notes from the children themselves, what a joy that was!

The net result is that you kept me psyched up to expand upon the good start of
Coloring Book 1.1.

What is Coloring Book?

Coloring Book is an electronic coloring book in which children color areas of
pictures by selecting a color from the color palette and clicking on the
various items. Hidden within the pages to be colored are many surprising
animations and enjoyable sounds. The program explores some of the
possibilities offered by the new computer medium with activities such as
virtual paper dolls and a robot construction set. Coloring Book has received
rave reviews in the publications of several of the largest Mac Users Groups.
More importantly, it has been delighting children (and a few adults) aroud the
world for the last two years.

Whats New in Coloring Book 2.01

The help window is now locked, so the kids can't rewrite the help screens.
Some of the longer animations have been trapped to prevent multiple activation
by double and triple clicks. The shareware address has been changed to
Bennington, VT : -)

Subject: [*] final-draft-demo; a screenwriting aid

Enclosed is a demo version of Final Draft, the leading
screenwriting program for the Macintosh.  Whether you
are interested in writing feature films, sit-coms,
episodic television or stage plays, Final Draft is the
only program that you will ever need.  It combines
complete word processing with all the script formatting
intelligence to make your script look professional as
you write without burdening you with complicated commands
and techniques. Scene headings, action, dialog, character
names, MORE's and CONTINUED's and scene numbers, it knows
them all.  And for the professional writer, it contains
production-oriented features such as revision marks and
A & B pages, vital when rewrites inevitably occur.

Over the past 5 years, Final Draft has become the clear
standard in the Hollywood community.  Clients include
writers such as Brian de Palma, Robert Altman, Jeff Abrams
("Regarding Henry", "Forever Young"), Mike Backes
("Rising Sun") and others such as Harry Anderson, Sinbad
and Tom Hanks.  In addition, reviews in MacWorld and MacUser
magazines gave the program 4 stars and 4 mice, respectively.

Feel free to down load the demo and see for yourself if
Final Draft doesn't just make you more creative.  If you
would prefer to get the demo by mail, either send us a
message MacToolKit@aol.com or contact us at the address above.

Sincerely,

Ben Cahan

Subject: [*] NeuroLab_Demo_v1.02b; a neural network library

Information about NeuroLab

NeuroLab is a neural network library for Extend (graphical icon-based
simulation program for the Macintosh computers) and is a powerful and
effective tool for understanding, designing and simulating artificial
neural network systems.  NeuroLab consists of more than 60 functional
blocks and 20 example models.

Each functional block in NeuroLab is easy to use and to understand because
of the intuitive appearance and the interactive parameter change on the
dialog box of each block.  Implemented neural networks are Hopfield,
perceptron, competitive, recurrent, context, feature map, counter
propagation, Boltzmann machine and multi-layer feed-forward networks.

NeuroLab is applicable in any field where nonlinear mapping and adaptive
capability are integral parts of problem solving.  Major applicable fields
are image processing, data classification, future prediction, adaptive
control, dynamics identification optimization and content addressable memory.

NeuroLab is an ideal tool for educators and engineers who would like to
explore the power of neural networks.

Subject: [*] Siege Watch 2.0; time left for Bill Clinton

Enclosed you will find an update to Siege Watch, my program to keep
track of the time left in the U.S. presidential administration. I
would like to remind the alternatively humored that the archives have
previously seen Quayle Tetris, Sim Bush and Reagan's Watching.

Requirements: System 7, Speech Manager recommended.

Cost: Free

Old Features:
 * Traditional analog style clock with you know who's portrait as the face.
 * Speaks the hour.
 * Speaks days left in the current administration. (12:00 EST, Jan 20, 1997)
 * Keeps track of the years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds left
   in the current administration.

New Features:
 * Now supports core Apple Events.
 * Voice is configurable if you want to use Speech Daemon GH (so you
   can share a huge Macintalk Pro voice channel with other utilities).
 * At random intervals, speaks a random phrase which I consider
   funny; you might not. For full effect, don't use Macintalk Pro.
 * New graphical representation of time left (pie chart).
 * Prettier clock hands.
 * New artwork for color macs.
 * More obvious graphical element to switch between condensed and
   extended mode (Finder-like flag).

The enclosed copy of Speech Daemon GH is slightly fresher than the one I
enclosed with Speak Note GH 2.0.1 a few days ago, so replace the old version
if you've been having trouble.

The sound bite strings are stored in 'BITE' resources, so you can change
them with ResEdit. Please do not redistribute modified copies.

Subject: [*] Threshold 1.0.4; a Powerbook battery utility

Threshold 1.0.4 for PowerBooks (by Jeremy Kezer)

Do you use an external battery on your PowerBook?  Or are you tired of those
low battery warnings coming up minutes or even hours before they really
should?
Then Threshold is the answer!

Threshold lets you adjust when the low battery warnings occur.  You can alter
the warnings to come up later than usual, giving you more productive battery
time.  It is essential if you are using an external battery pack (PowerPlate,
ThinPack or similar), but it's also handy for internal batteries.

Threshold sports a concise graphical display.  It shows an analog graph
representing current battery voltage, with the curent warning points
illustrated.  There is also a battery status indicator, an elapsed timer, and a
sleep button.  The warning thresholds are easily adjusted using up & down
arrows.

Threshold allows you to program up to three different sets of warnings, and can
automatically toggle between different sets for internal and external
batteries.

Version 1.0.4 increases error recovery for a corrupted "MyBattery Link" file,
and restricts how low the thresholds can be adjusted for internal batteries.

Shareware; $10 registration fee suggested.  DOES NOT work on Duo's.

Subject: [*] UPS Monitor 1.5; for backup power supply units

UPS Monitor 1.5
by Yair Elharrar, yair@tamar.cc.biu.ac.il

UPS Monitor is a small hack, used to determine the status of a
serial-connected UPS. Many UPSes come with a DB-9 serial port, which serves
as a status line.

If you don't know what a UPS is: UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply,
basically this is an external power supply for your Mac with a battery. When
you have a power failure, a UPS gives you 10-15 grace minutes to save all your
work and shut down, which might be a bit hard if you're not near the computer
at the time. UPSMon takes care of this for you!

Changes since version 1.4

* Added support for external serial ports, with peripheral cards such as
  QuadraLink or Hurdler. In general, UPS Monitor is CTB-aware and will
  recognize all CTB serial ports, including virtual ports defined with
  PortConnector.
  All you have to do is select the right port from the pop-up menu in the
  Configuration dialog, just like in ZTerm.
* Fixed a bug with the dates.
* Converted date translation to support international date formats. Dates will
  now appear the same way they do in the Date&Time control panel.

Shareware $15.

Subject: (fwd) STF3.0 problem

I have sent maybe 100 faxes no prob with my LineLink and FaxSTF3.0. I
received one yesterday. I used fax status to manually receive the fax.
It seemed to copmlete okay, but hte phone rang again (trouble wtih the
other fax machine?) and I tried to receive again manuually, but this
rashed the mac. I could not get STF manager to run after that (I'm
using 3.0.1Beta) and had to reinstall (note that I had a different
problem with STF Manager and had to reinstall once before  - it would
crash on opening one of the Activities with an error of type 4).

Now I have this fax document, but I can't read it. It is of filetype FAXR.
Saved faxed are FAXS. Clicking it just tells me that "STF Mangeer doens't
recongize documents of type FAXR". Changing the filetype manually doen
work because launching STF Manger and trying to open it just changes the
filetye back. The icon looks like a fax dcoumen with a bite out of it.

i'd really like to be able to read this fax and maybe understand WHY
everything crashed upon a second receive. Any suggestions?

Subject: [?] TCP, CTB & SITcomm advice wanted

<My apologies to those that may have already read this in comp.sys.mac.comm>


Howdy,

I know that TCP tools for the Communications Toolbox (CTB) have been discussed
before, but I'm hoping I can get a "one-stop-shopping" answer with this
post...

I would like to use CTB-aware applications as telnet terminals over a SLIP
connection. Usually, this means SITcomm 1.0.1, but ClarisWorks 2.1v2 could also
come into play.

I've tried both the Outland and TGE TCP tools mentioned here with mixed
results. The Outland tool immediately crashes when I click the "Connect" button
in SITcomm. The TGE tool works OK, but typing and pasting text in the terminal
window is interminably <g> slow; the commands I type are sent to the host at
something like 300 baud speed. *Received* text, on the other hand takes full
advantage of my modem's 14.4kbps speed.

So, my questions for you are:

1) (This is a FAQ, but for the sake of completeness): What shareware/freeware/
   demoware TCP tools are available on the net or commercial services?

2) What commercial TCP tools are available? Which ones are *recommended*?

3) Why does the Outland tool crash? Has anyone got it to work with SLIP and/or
   SITcomm?

4) Why is typing text with the TGE tool so slow? Is that typical of the tool or
   a problem with SITcomm?

5) Is my quest for a well-functioning CTB TCP tool hopeless, and should I just
   use NCSA Telnet? I hate the idea of adding yet another one-use application
   to my hard drive... Plus, I'm beginning to really like SITcomm despite its
   ahh.. immaturity. I think once I get AppleScript up and running, I'll
   *really* like SITcomm...

Thanks for any tips and/or wholesale advice...

Brento

Digital fixed that problem on their product, Pathworks, by writing some
code that substitutes for the password verification code built into
AppleShare when you are attaching to a PathWorks server. Yes there is a way
to do it and my guess is that Novell needs to write it.

Subject: Photoshop/RAMDoubler conflict solved!!

Hi again,

Just after I posted my previous note, I decided to remove the AV DSP Power
plug-in from the plug-ins folder so that Photoshop would load without it,
and voila! No crashes! Gaussian Blur and all the other filters work
perfectly, no problems at all. So it turns out that the conflict was not
between RAMDoubler and Photoshop itself, but between RAMDoubler and the DSP
plug-in. As I said before, I have run Photoshop with the plug-in installed
but without RAMDoubler and had no problems at all.

However, I have doubts about whether or not the plug-in works at all. I
have noticed absolutely zero speed increase in the operations it professes
to speed-up. But I have noticed that it is the last plug-in to load,
despite the fact that it's name begins with an A. Is this normal? Could
this have something to do with the RAMDoubler conflict or the lack of a
noticable speed increase?

Again, any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,

Jason Stone

Subject: Photoshop and RAMDoubler conflict?

Hi everyone,

Does Photoshop 2.5(.1) conflict with RAMDoubler? On my 660AV with 8MB of
RAM doubled to 16MB, Photoshop crashes when using certain filters, most
noticably Gaussian Blur. On other filters, such as Solarize, I have no
problems. Otherwise, my Mac freezes. Force-quitting Photoshop invariably
brings up a dialog box telling me an "unimplemented trap occured" or
something like that, and my only option is to restart. When I try Gaussian
Blur and the other criminal filters with RAMDoubler disabled, I have no
problems, so there is most likely a conflict. This is quite strange
considering that one of the plethora of apps the Quadra 650 in the
RAMDoubler ads, and even on the box, is running is Photoshop!! I should
also point out that I am running the AV DSP plug-in.

Any advice would be most sincerely appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jason Stone

Subject: RAM Doubler on a Centris 650 (Q)

I'm not jumping to conclusions, but it APPEARS that RAM Doubler is causing
my Centris 650 to crash when I'm copy stuff across our ethernetwork. It
does not crash with EVERY copy, but is sure to happen over the course of
copying a few files.

RAM Doubler is my newest extension and I've tried duplicating this problem
with many others on and off. This problem only happens when I load RAM
Doubler. Has anyone found any particular extension conflicts that I should
look for (other than the ones noted in the RAM Doubler read-me)?

Specifics: Centris 650 8/230 w/CD, System 7.1, AppleScript 1.1, Sound
Manager, Speech Manager, Network Launch Fix, Extensions Manager, QuickTime,
Hardware System Update, etc.

Thanks

In the furthest reaches of my mind I remember a picture of a

A friend is looking for a program (free, share, or $$$-ware) that will
allow one to hide folders/files and that can not be tampered with by
ResEdit.  I guess what he means is a program that will not allow ResEdit to
reveal the hidden files?  Anyone know of such a beast?

I do not know anything about ResEdit or security programs so, if this
doesn't make sense, just let me know.

Many Thanks.

You are the victim of a misinformed salesperson.  SoftWindows is available
this very minute as a standalone product in the USA.  For example, Mac's
Place is selling it for US$319.  Call +1 406 758-8000 (fax +1 406 758-8080)
to order it (they ship to the UK).
