Gatekeeper 1.3 vir/gatekeeper-130.hqx Chris W. Johnson 13 Nov 1993 Offers protection against attacks by all known viruses. Gatekeeper 1.3 is a set of Macintosh system extensions (INITs) and related control panels (cdevs) which, when active (i.e. allowed to install themselves during the boot process) offer protection against attacks by all known viruses (to the author at the time of this release). Gatekeeper also monitors computer activities for what are considered to be suspicious 'events' or 'operations', in an attempt to intercept what could be variants of known viruses or even completely new viruses. Since its initial release in January of 1989, Gatekeeper has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to stop the spread of viruses which were unknown during its design. Like any anti- virus system, however, it cannot guarantee complete protection. Of course, no claims or promises are made regarding Gatekeeper's effectiveness or suitability, and some functions and capabil- ities of Gatekeeper are non-trivial to use and may require a careful reading of the documentation. Gatekeeper 1.3 Release Notes 12-Nov-93 --------------------------------------------------- Gatekeeper 1.3 was created the day after 1.2.9 was released to fix a bug that caused all pre-7 systems to hang during startup, and crashed some System 7.x machines. For those of you wondering about the story behind the bug, and why 1.2.9 missed its scheduled release date by three days, it's pretty simple. When the new viruses appeared, I was in the middle of work on a new and improved Gatekeeper which was going to be version 1.2.9 in a couple of months. Unfortunately the work, while mostly complete, still wasn't quite finished at the time those viruses appeared. So I had to either (a) try to finish the new improvements very quickly, or (b) rip them all out and return, more or less, to the functionality of 1.2.8. I went for option 'b'. Unfortunately, while I was ripping out the nifty new code, I overlooked one file in one of the ten or so projects that currently combine to form Gatekeeper. Consequently, some of that new code which wasn't quite finished was built into one portion of version 1.2.9. Since it was mostly working, it passed all my in-house (actually "in-office" would be more accurate) tests prior to release, but failed when it finally met up with the real world. Why didn't I just go back to the archived 1.2.8 source? Because there were some bug fixes and various uncontroversial (but significant) improvements already in 1.2.9 which I certainly wanted to be part of any new release. So, here's 1.3; use it in good health. Please delete any copies of 1.2.9 that you may have laying around and spread the word that 1.3 is available. [Thanks, BTW, go to Brian Price for allowing himself to be dragooned into running some last minute tests.] ----Chris Anti Virus

Merry Xmas Killer vir/merry-xmas-killer.hqx 18 Sep 1993 Scans stacks for the Merry Xmas virus and zaps it. I have recently experienced one of the most annoying Macintosh para- sites of all time -- the virus.

SAM Installer Scripts vir/alternate-sam-35-install.hqx William Homer Waits 24 Aug 1993 Creates scripts for SAM 3.5. In response to some complaints on the Internet regarding the un-intuitive installer script for Symmantec's popular virus program SAM* 3.5. Symmantec's script will not do an installation if you have replaced the original Virus Definition file. Go figure! I don't know about you, but I update mine when necessary on the original disks. I have created my own scripts which should work fine. I have System 7.1, and I know it works there, but I also have created a System 6 installer. It should work fine, but I have no place to test it. Only the target folders have changed. These scripts only recognize the Virus Definitions file on the Decontamination Disk, so make sure that is where you place your updated Definition file. If you decide to use these, please just e-mail me and let me know that you have used it. Also, let me know about any troubles you may have. I can be reached at the following addresses: SAM* is copyrighted by Symmantec Corp. I have no affiliation with them. Al Bloom, this one's for you! Anti Virus

What To Use vir/00what-to-use.txt 8 Jul 1991 Current recommendations for virus-related tools. Here are our current recommendations for virus-related tools. Such tools can be divided into three classes: those that prevent infections, those that warn you when an infection is present, and those that remove infection. This message only discusses non-commercial software. 1. Prevention Two excellent tools for prevention of viral infections are the Disinfectant extension (distributed as part of the Disinfectant application) and the Gatekeeper package. The Disinfectant extension is very easy to install and requires no user configuration. However, it is important to stay up-to-date with this tool, because it only recognizes viruses it has been taught about. Gatekeeper is an effective virus-prevention method for the more technically inclined. It requires some customization to work well in a particular environment. The benefit of Gatekeeper is that it provides some protection against some possible kinds of future virus, not just Anti Virus

Calculator II is a pleasant looking color multi-function calculator that runs as an application under system 6.x or System 7. The calculator was written as an application to be run under MultiFinder or System 7 alongside other applications. It improves on AppleUs original calculator by adding trigonometric functions, functions for base 10 and natural logorithms and their inverses, hex-to-decimal and decimal-to-hex conversion, a percent increase/decrease key, a memory function for storing values across uses of the program, and all of these functions can be invoked by using the F-Keys on the Apple Extended keyboard (F5 - F15). The calculator also allows users to correct trailing digits of values entered on the display of the calculator through the use of a backspace key. A Ticker Tape is also provided to display the results of past calculations. Balloon help and general information about the program is available under either the Help menu under System 6.x or the Balloon Help menu under System 7. This software is being distributed as FREEware so give it a try and let me know what you think! This version of the calculator contains several bug fixes and enhancements: o Fixed a couple of Balloon Help bugs that caused balloons to appear or not appear at inappropriate times. o Numbers copied to the clipboard from the calculatorUs display no longer contain leading spaces. o The calculator no longer permits the errant factorial calculations of negative numbers and 0. o Fixed a bug using the HEX and DEC keys successively to convert numbers between hexadecimal and decimal. o Changed the creator of the Calculator to *calc* from *CALC* to make accessing its bundle more realiable. o The Calculator now saves its preferences in a Prefs File rather than inside itself. This will permit future updates of the program with Updaters like UpdateMaker. o A new Info item was added to the Help Menu to thank all the people that have helped to make Calculator II a success.

EnglishCalendar app/english-calendar-hc.hqx Ian MacInnes 23 Aug 1993 A Hypercard stack of dates for students of English history and literature. This is a Hypercard stack designed to replace clumsy handbooks of dates for students of English history and literature. It will perform the following tasks: 1. It will calculate the date of Easter and six other major moveable feasts based on Easter for any date from the council of Nice (325 A.D.) to the present. 2. It will provide the dates for all saints days, and other events of the liturgical year. 3. It will convert back and forth between Old and New style dating. 4. It will find the day of the week for any date in the Christian Era. 5. It will determine the number of days between any two dates, or the date which occurs a given number of days before or after a given date. The stack is accurate for the English calendar, but it contains a help feature with instructions on how to modify the stack for students of Continental history and literature. Applications
Enigma 2.0 app/enigma-20.hqx Mike Watson 10 Jul 1993 Provides protection for your sensitive documents and applications. Enigma 1.2 is an application which can provide near absolute protection for your sensitive documents and applications. By downloading this application you can encrypt files using a limited version of the Government Standard DES algorithm. For only $10 this can be upgraded to the full DES standard (US and Canada only). If you would prefer your neighbors not see your accounting package, your co-workers not see your performance appraisal, or your competitor see your trade secrets then Enigma is an application you will find very valuable. Version 1.2 is a substantial improvement over previous versions. The most important new features are: Encryptions and decryptions are now 12 times faster than before, with absolutely no compromise at all in data security! Enclosed is a utility to destroy plain-text files after encryption (Enigma now has an option to do this automatically as well. Entering keys is more secure since you can optionally specify that Enigma only display ?'s as you type. If you previously tried to use Enigma over an Appletalk network you will be pleased to know it is now about 100 times faster. The program now quits after a drag-and-drop operation so that there is no chance of accidently leaving your key exposed. Enigma 1.2 remains fully compatible with previous versions of Enigma. Enigma is fully compatible with any mac. It required only 256K of memory to run. It is fully system 7 compatible, but very usable with previous systems. Enigma 1.2 in this limited form is completely free. No shareware guilt. But if you need extra protection it is available. Applications

Exercise Log 1.05 app/exercise-log-105-hc.hqx maurits 16 Dec 1993 Hypercard-based activities log to store information about each workout . Exercise Log is a Hypercard-based activities log that lets you store information about each workout you do in an unlimited number of sports. It offers an attractive and useful middle ground between paper-based logs (in which you have to do all the tallying, etc. yourself) and spread-sheet models (which tend to be too rigid for free-form information entry). For each workout, there are fields for date, sport, workout-type, effort, distance, time, pace, course-name, details, and description, weather, and shoes used (or inline skates, or bike equipment, etc.). In addition, your resting pulse rate and weight for the day can be entered. The log will automatically calculate pace, and add up distances and number of workouts in a week or year. Shortcuts allow you to quickly enter new workout info for standard and to navigate easily between different workouts and sections in the log. Workouts can be displayed in a convenient weekly overview format, or can be selected to be listed in a tally based on criteria you specify (including effort-level, sport, workout type, or equipment). Import and export facilities are provided to move data between logs and to and from data files that can be used in Excel, etc. Thus, if you already have an on-line exercise data base, you need not type all the data in anew. In addition, rather than relying on Hypercard's somewhat anemic charting capabilities, you can just export the relevant data and chart it any way you like in a spreadsheet program. A detailed Help section is provided explaining all features. This stack requires Hypercard 2.0 or above, but will run best in 2.1 or above. It uses the Times and Palatino fonts, and has been tested on most common setups. It is shareware, which means that if you decide to use it (after evaluation), you are required to send me $8. This is significantly less than most other software exercise logs, and about equivalent to the costs of most of those paper-based logs Runner's World and Bicycling produce. I am not expecting to get rich off this, just to get back a little for all the hours I put into perfecting this log instead of pursuing my graduate studies :-( Address comments, criticisms, suggestions for improvement, etc. to: maurits@husc.harvard.edu, and send the shareware fee to: Maurits van der Veen Department of Government Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138. N.B. Harvard University and its Department of Government are in no way associated with or responsible for this product or anything I say about it or anything else.

I myself have no connection with SWIP, Quark, or the author(s) of the enclosed Xtension. Following below is the part of the description from the "Readme"-file. The archive is compressed using CompactPro 1.34. fcsPress is a QuarkXpress XTension designed specifically for newspapers and other large periodicals that require network cooperation between workers. When working with fcsPress the main editor will prepare a master page in XPress, and he will assign an editor number to each box. Once this master page is ready, the XTension will split this document in as many documents as there are editors assigned to it. The splitted files are placed in specified folders according to the group they belong to. These files can be distributed on the network to each editor, who will fill in the text and picture boxes that he has been assigned. Once the splitted files are ready fcsPress will join them into a new single document ready for final printing. The main advantage of fcsPress over other systems is that each worker uses XPress to type his text, so he can see exactly how the final page will print, including hyphenation, colors, column placement, etc. Applications

A couple of days ago I was looking through the archives in search for a Macintosh equivalent for the UN*X xclock(1). Couldn't find it, and therefore wrote one. I've tried to keep the program small, with little memory requirements. It is resizable, and remembers its position. MacClock draws using an off-screen bitmap (for smoother graphics) if there is enough memory available. So, if you want MacClock to have smooth graphics for bigger window sizes, you'll have to give it more memory. If there is not enough memory available MacClock won't use an off-screen bitmap, but draw directly into its window. If you encounter any problems with MacClock, please inform me. I've tried it on a Quadra 900, and a IIcx and didn't find any problems. If you feel this program ought to be shareware, please pay the shareware fee of $5 (cash, per snail-mail).

Mangia! Demo app/mangia-demo.hqx Adam C. Engst Adam C. Engst 27 Oct 1993 Cooking/recipe program . This is a demo version of Mangia, the best cooking/recipe program for the Macintosh that I've ever seen. It lets you create recipes, sort them, move them into different cookbooks, scale them, and so on. It also helps you create menus, figures out shopping lists, and even organizes the lists by section of the store. It's highly customizable, which is good, but it comes with a huge dictionary of ingredients. I've also included one of the two recipe files that comes with the shipping version, Mangia Miscellany. Eventually Upstill Software hopes to have numerous electronic cookbooks available, and if enough people on the net use it, we could create some net.cookbooks as well. This demo is fully functioning for two months (it expires on Sunday, December 26th, 1993), after which you should think about getting the full version. It's about $50 and has a unique and fun manual, along with another recipe file that's five times larger than this one. Enjoy! cheers ... -Adam Applications

Peeping Tom 1.1 app/peeping-tom-11.hqx Bret Olmsted 19 Sep 1993 Keeps track of the current open applications and desk accessories . 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. Applications

$tock$tack 2.1g app/stock-stack-hc.hqx Chemaly Rene 31 Aug 1993 Track various technical indicators for individual stocks. $tock$tack is a Hypercard( stack which allows you to track various technical indicators for individual stocks, mutual funds, market indices (such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average), currencies, bonds, and interest rate instruments. It tracks and plots the stock price (open, high, low, and close), trading volume, moving averages, stochastics, Relative Strength Index, and "On Balance Volume", on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. $tock$tack was originally designed to utilize quote files (in a TEXT format) from the Prodigy* Interactive Personal Service. Consult your Prodigy* service user's manual for information on how to download quotes to a text file. I have also added the capability to read America OnLine* Stock Portfolio Display files, CompuServe* MQuote II files, CompuServe* Information Manager QuickQuotes files, CompuServe* Navigator QuickQuote files, and GEnie* quote files (comma-delimited). You may also manually enter data for your stocks. If you have some other format that you download quotes in, or from a service other than those listed above, please contact me and I'll look into including that format in future versions of $tock$tack. $tock$tack requires HyperCard( software version 2.1, at least 2 megabytes of RAM (under System 6) or 4 megabytes under System 7. HyperCard( must be allocated at least 1500K of RAM (change by "Getting Info" on HyperCard). The stack will automatically size itself for a 13" RGB screen (640x480). If your screen size is different, the stack will be the standard size for a 9" screen (512x342). If you desire a small card despite having a larger screen, holding the Command-key while opening $tock$tack (each time) will force a 9" standard card. You may try this stack for 40 days without registering. During this time, you have full graphing capabilites, but the stack will only maintain 50 days worth of data. After that time period, the stack will not allow you to add additional data without the password, which you obtain when you register. Once you have registered, you will be allowed to configure the stack to your desires, telling it how many days to maintain data, what graphs to graph, how many days to use for various statistics, and what stock commision rates to use. You will also be informed when future upgrades are available. Some planned additions include: 1. Continuing to write routines as external functions to speed up the program. 2. The capability to track a portfolio, possibly multiple portfolios. NOTE: I am not the author, but have been asked by the author to distribute this stack to FTP sites. Please DO NOT MAIL ME about the stack! Applications

Big Dummy's Guide-The Internet comm/big-dummys-guide-to-internet.hqx Lance K. Chun 31 Jul 1993 An Internet guide for folks with little or no experience with networks. Welcome to the Big Dummy's Guide to Internet. The genesis of the Big Dummy's Guide was a few informal conversations, which included Mitch Kapor of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Steve Cisler or Apple Computer, Inc. In June of 1991. With the support of Apple Computer, EFF hired a writer (Adam Gaffin) and actually took on the project in September of 1991. The idea was to write a guide to the Internet for folks who hand little or no experience with network communications. We intended to post this Guide to "the 'net" in ASCII and HyperCard formats and to give it away on disk, as well as have a print edition available for a nominal charge. With the consolidation of our offices to Washington, DC, we were able to put the Guide on a fast track. You're looking at the realization of our dreams--version one of the Guide. At the time I'm writing this we're still fishing around for a book publisher, so the hard-copy version has not yet been printed. We're hoping to update this Guide on a regular basis, so please feel free to send us your comments and corrections. EFF would like to thank the folks at Apple , especially Steve cisler of the Apple Library, for their support of our efforts to bring this Guide to you. We hope it helps you open up a whole new world, where new friends and experiences are sure to be yours. Enjoy! Shari Steele Communications-General

Formula 1 may be used as a mailer with CounterPoint, Alice, Copernicus, or MacWoof, to form a pointkit. It uses the ZedZap Fido protocol, which is based on Zmodem, and is superior to the mailers found in MacWoof or Tabby. This Formula 1 DEMO is completely functional, except that it permits only one event per session (ie, you may call into only one Fido BBS every time it is launched), and it expires on December 1, 1993. The unlimited version costs $40. Regards. Communications-General
GV Variable CCLs comm/ara-gv-variables-ccls.hqx Peter Thornewell 18 Nov 1993 Two CCL scripts that allow the user to choose the maximum speed. Global Village Teleport Vary and GV PP/G&S Vary These two CCL scripts are used with AppleTalk Remote Access and the Global Village Teleport Gold and PowerPort Gold and Silver modems respectively. They allow the user to choose the maximum speed that they wish to communication at. I wrote this because some of the phone lines I dial in from a pretty bad and although the modems may eventually connect at 14.4 they soon lose they carrier etc. and crash. It is much easier in this situation to simply try and connect at a lower speed. Previously, I had hacked some CCL's and each one would connect at a certain speed. However, this is tedious as it the appropriate script has to be selected each time from the Remote Access Setup Control Panel. Using this CCL I just choose the speed I want and that's it. Note: The PowerPort and Teleport modems have a very different command set and functions. When using either 12000 baud or 7200 baud with the Teleport that is the only speed at which you can communicate. ie If you try to connect to a modem that does not support these rates then the connection will fail. However, with the PowerPort series communication can take place at a lower rate if 12000 or 7200 is not supported. How It Works: The ARA CCL language supports a command 'ASK'. This allows the user to type in a text string. This string can then be printed, either to the screen or to the modem. (As far as I know I can't do any string comparisons with it, or access it in any other way!! If any one knows any different please let me know.) This string is then sent out to the modem which has had 'echo' enabled. The string is then read back in from the modem and is then compared with 300,1200,.... to select the appropriate speed via either modem 'AT' or ARA 'serrest' commands. Please note that these scripts have no yet been approved by Global Village and are supplied as is with no warrenty etc. However, they work for me and that's all I was ever bothered about anyway. Have fun , and let me know if there are problems, Pete Thornewell (thornewell@lanl.gov) Communications-General

LeeMail 2.0.3 comm/lee-mail-203.hqx Lee Fyock 21 Nov 1993 Shareware e-mail program. Here is LeeMail 2.0.3, an minor upgrade from 2.0.2. LeeMail is a shareware Macintosh e-mail program that can use both the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) to send and receive mail. LeeMail requires MacTCP (or "TCP Connection for Macintosh"), available from Apple. Changes between version 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 include: - Use SysEnvirons instead of Gestalt (shudder) to check for color quickdraw; should eliminate crashes for 68000 users - "Encrypt" POP passwords -- you'll need to re-enter them The encryption is very weak (XOR 0xFF), so don't let hackers near your mac. :-) - List routines massively rewritten to massively increase the number of items which can be displayed in a window (the number of pieces of mail which can be stored in a folder should now max out at ~4000, instead of ~400) - Temporary memory used for almost all windows, so you should be able to open a ton of mail, assuming you have free memory in the system heap - Tabs are now OK in mail headers... - Think C 5.0.4 generated "odd" code for the CreateStream routine; I've changed the C code so that the compiled code is correct. 2.0.3 should work without problem on Quadras... - There is now some constraint checking on string lengths that you enter, so you shouldn't be able to corrupt your settings anymore LeeMail is shareware, $25. Group packages, site licenses and source code licenses are available. For those of you who have paid your shareware fees, thanks very much! The upgrade from 1.x to 2.0.x is free! To those of you who haven't paid, you waited too long -- the price went up! :-) If you have any questions, feel free to mail me at "laf@mitre.org".

LineShare 2.0 Demo comm/line-share-20-demo.hqx Vladimir Butenko 14 Jul 1993 Demo version of line sharing communications software. LineShare 2.0 Demo The LineShare software enables communication lines (i.e. serial ports with attached modems) to be shared between several communication services (for, example, between Fax software and ARA software). The CCL scripting technology is used to support various modems. With LineShare scripts it is possible to share the single line between more than two services: for example, Fax, ARA, Mailserver and BBS can share the same device. LineShare also eliminates compatibility problems and simplifies the design of new servers: instead of complicated tricks with a serial port (to allow other applications to use the port when the server is idle), LineShare provides each server with a dedicated virtual communication port. The LineShare can run only under System 7 and with servers that support CTB ports. The non-server applications (like terminal emulators) can be old-style ones. LineShare is compatible with PortShare Pro: the line shared between several local servers can be made available for non-server applications on other computers. And more, server applications can run on remote computers. For instructions, see the ReadMe file included This demo version of LineShare has a limited number of server sessions. This version provides support for master-server applications, - (voice-mail packages) making it possible to route non-voice calls to a proper fax/e-mail/ARA/BBS application. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Vladimir Butenko, Stalker Software, Network Group.

I will send the necessary UNIX server files separately. MacLayers version 1.30 is a freeware vt100 terminal emulator that allows multiple terminal windows to be opened to a host simultaneously over a single serial connection. The remote host computer must be a UNIX(TM) system which has sockets support. Each terminal window may be associated with a shell, login to a different host, or an individual command. New features since 1.20 include... The UNIX side has been ported to run on many new platforms including IRIX, AIX 3.2, SVR4, etc. (Not Solaris yet.) Support for a UNIX side .layersrc file to automatically startup and place windows when layers mode is started. Separate user settings and logfiles; each can be saved independently from the other; settings act as startup documents. Improved/reorganized keyboard support. Longer dial strings, mouse support under emacs, new Finder icons, etc. To use MacLayers, you need to get both the Macintosh MacLayers client application and the UNIX server programs. They are packaged separately. You will have to compile the latter. Communications-General

The original Obolus 1.0, posted here a few weeks ago, had some problems running on 68000-based Macs, and with System 6. These problems now have been fixed. The following is a copy of the original note accompanying Obolus 1.0, kindly posted here by Charles Mingo: Obolus 1.0.2 is a mail program, designed to complement the Charon mailer program, which was posted to sumex-aim recently. Charon is designed to work with a "reader" program (eg, CounterPoint or Alice), to allow a Mac user to operate as a Fido "point", calling into a Fido hub to pick up and deliver mail and news, using the Fido file transmission protocols. Obolus is an adjunct to Charon, which allows Charon to properly extract the outgoing mail and news from CounterPoint, including the ability to compress outgoing mail. Use of Obolus allows Charon and CounterPoint to function as a fully integated "point" package. Both Obolus and Charon may be freely distributed and used. Please note that any questions about Obolus should be directed to the author's new address at qsi@nu91.wlink.nl. The old address, qsi@contrast.wlink.nl should work for a few weeks yet, but it is generally slower than the new one. Communications-General

Outland PPC Tool comm/outland-ppc-tool.hqx Bill Lipa 14 Dec 1993 Connection tool for the Communications Toolbox. Outland PPC tool Copyright 1993 Outland All Rights Reserved The Outland PPC tool is a connection tool for the Communications Toolbox. It uses the Program-to-Program Communications (PPC) manager to communicate over AppleTalk networks. PPC is the service used to implement program linking and remote AppleEvents. PPC is implemented on top of ADSP, so you may wonder why a PPC tool would be useful since Apple already distributes an ADSP tool. PPC is more efficient when connecting two ports on the same computer, and more specific in the way remote ports are selected. It is also possible to create a port that is not visible across the network, which makes the port initialization much faster and could provide better security for certain applications. While ADSP may also have these features, they are not accessible to the user in Apple's tool as far as I can determine. As a weary veteran of many bug-battles with the ADSP tool, I also wanted to create a new tool that would be more reliable. However, this early development release surely has many problems. Please help me improve this tool by reporting any bugs you find. You may be freely copy and use this tool for personal, non-commercial activities. For all other uses, contact Outland. Bill Lipa outland@aol.com 415-328-5659 Notes: - To connect two ports on the same computer, the application must call CMListen and CMOpen asynchronously. Otherwise the receiving application never gets time to accept the call, and the system will hang. - This release does not report errors to the user. Instead, a debugging file is produced called "Code Resource Debug". If you report a bug, please include the contents of this file if it is in the same folder as your CTB application. - Can anyone tell me how to turn off interrupts in a compatible way? I am supposed to turn off interrupts before calling a program's completion routine, but I don't know how to do this in a clean manner. - This release does not support multiple sessions through the same port, timeouts, or any CTB 1.1 functionality.

TheNews 2.31 comm/the-news-231.hqx William D Cramer 17 Oct 1993 News reader program for the Mac. TheNews is a news reader program for the Mac. It supports connections via MacTCP, UUPC/ToadNews, and the CommToolBox, This is a minor bug fix release with a few minor features added for CTB support. The bugs fixed are: * V2.3 didn't fully understand older versions of the preferences files, which left the program presuming a UUPC configuration rather than the default MacTCP connection. Deleting the old preferences file would eliminate the problem but I felt kind of silly about the mistake, so this version correctly understands existing preferences files. * V2.3 didn't update the article header list when selecting read next, read next, or read next unread. The CTB features added are: * A new login script command puts a delay step in the login sequence (this hopefully helps those sites whose modems require 'thinking' time to figure out the connect speed). * V2.3 automatically sent the user ID/password info to the news server. Some servers hung up when they received this info, so a ResEdit-able preference tells the program to skip this step. The file 'Version 2.31 changes' lists the additional features which were added in V2.3.

This is not a really new QuickB.PROC RCMD module but this module is really called NewQuickB.PROC. What happens is that White Knight didn't support QuickB in its internal engine. Instead, QuickB is support through White Knight's RCMD module, which is supposed to extend WK's ability. Before WK 11.13 coming out, there were two such modules, the original QuickB.PROC and this NewQuickB.PROC. released by WK's author Scott Watson. The master disk for version after 11.13 comes with another QuickB.PROC which runs miserably slow compared to this NewQuickB.PROC. Is there any White Knight veteran willing to explain this to a novice like me. (How about you, Al?) Anyway, if you use White Knight and CI$, check this out when you fill impatient about the download speed. [To Eric: White Knight do support QuickB protocol in an quite indirect way but such module is included in each package of White Knight. Is it necessary to change table 3.1.1 in C.S.M.C. Faq? Another question is about table 3.1.2 in C.S.M.C Faq. White Knight supports terminal emulations TTY, VT52, VT100, VT102. I haven't finish the whole manual yet.

This ResEdit color palette may speed up ZTerm's performance at high speeds (>=9600 bps.) If you don't need color, simply set your monitor to black and white. The following is from the ReadMe file: Begin Quote How it works: Changing the code resource makes ZTerm call _GetNewCWindow, instead of _GetNewWindow. When a program calls _GetNewCWindow, GetNewCWindow looks for a resource of type pltt with the same id as the window. It finds the palette copied into ZTerm, and loads it. When ZTerm tries to change the colors, the palette manager uses the closest available colors, which should be the ones in its palette (since there are only 16 colors). When ZTerm is normally used in 16 color mode, the colors are very hard to read, because it has to use the available colors. It takes half as long to draw a character on the screen in 4-bit mode (16 colors) then it does to draw one in 8-bit (256 colors) mode. Running in 16 colors should make ZTerm display the screen twice as fast (if your modem is fast enough).

USENET Abbreviations comm/info/internet-usenet-abbreviations.txt Dr. G. Paul Savage 2 Jul 1993 Text listing of abbreviations often used on the net. There has been some renewed interest in internet/usenet abbreviations and I notice another list has been added to the info/comm directory. The two lists, namely, internet-acronyms.txt and usenet-acronyms.txt pretty much overlap. In the interest of clarity I have combined the list in my original posting with the list in the usenet-acronyms.txt posted by Daniel J. Hofferth. Perhaps this list should replace both of the previously mentioned files. Also, the file should be called internet (or usenet) "abbreviations", not internet (or usenet) "acronyms". Acronyms can be spoken as a word (e.g. NASA) whereas abbreviations are just the letters (e.g. BTW). Some on the list *are* acronyms of course (e.g. MUD, SNAFU) but most are not.

Heb3270 comm/net/heb-3270.hqx Jaime Prilusky 8 Dec 1993 IBM 3270 terminal emulator with hebrew language capability for the Mac. Heb3270, hebrew IBM 3270 terminal emulator for the Macintosh. (c) 1990,1991,1992,1993 by Jaime Prilusky, Weizmann Institute of Science What Heb3270 does ? Heb3270 allows a Macintosh computer with a TCP/IP network connection to emulate an IBM 3270 terminal with hebrew language capability. Heb3270 provides: - Bilingual Hebrew/Latin computer interaction - Graphic support for 3179 compatible graphics - File transfer acting as a FTP server - VT220/320 terminal text emulation How to operate Heb3270 ? When your connection to the IBM host is established, Heb3270 allows you to operate in bilingual mode. The screen automatically displays both Hebrew and Latin characters as they are received from the IBM host. Compatibility with tn3270: To upgrade from tn3270 to Heb3270, just replace the tn3270 with Heb3270 by dropping it in the same folder. In order to ease the upgrading from tn3270 to Heb3270, most of the characteristics of tn3270 are supported (keyboard mapping, graphic support, APL mode). Heb3270 is able to use the same configuration file and access modules as tn3270. Credits: Heb3270 was written by Jaime Prilusky, at the Bioinformatics Unit, Biological services of the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. It is the result of a large modification of the tn3270 communications software. tn3270 for the Macintosh was written by Peter DiCamillo, and developed by Computing and Information Services at Brown University.

LanTest 1.0.3 comm/net/lan-test-103.hqx Jens-Uwe Mager 7 Oct 1993 File Server Performance Evaluation Tool. LanTest is an utility designed to test file server performance in a Macintosh environment. It tests the following operations: * Creating 100 files of 20kb each * Opening and closing 100 files. * Remove 100 files. * Write 3 Mb to a file. * Read 3 Mb from a file. * Lock and unlock 4000 records. * Read a directory containing 320 entries. The utility can perform a mixture of these tests using a given number of times and display the timings as well as an average. All results are written into an ASCII logfile as well. The utility will count the number of concurrently running LanTest programs in the current zone, if not all of these test the same server the number of users displayed might be misleading. As all benchmarks, the results must be interpreted carefully and all test parameters should be documented together with the results. Jens-Uwe Mager Communications-Network
Mac XDMCP Client comm/net/mac-xdmcp-client.hqx Chuck Shotton 3 Oct 1993 Performs the XDMCP "handshake" with an X Windows host. The X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP) is a standard way for X Servers to request login services from host computers. Mac X server software, like Mac X and eXodus, have not included support for XDMCP. This means that Mac users have had to go to extreme lengths to get Unix hosts like HPs, Silicon Graphics, and Suns to present a login screen or to configure a login environment that operates the same as a X Terminal or console display. Mac XDM addresses this problem by providing a separate application that performs the XDMCP "handshake" with a X Windows host, requesting a login session on behalf of the Mac X server.

MacHTTP 1.2 comm/net/mac-http-10d9.hqx Chuck Shotton 3 Oct 1993 Server for Macs participating in the World Wide Web (WWW). What is MacHTTP? ================ MacHTTP is a server for Macs participating in the World Wide Web (WWW). It allows you to serve hypertext documents to other WWW users from your Macintosh. This version allows you to serve text documents (like HyperText Markup Language documents) as well as binary files (GIFs, f'rinstance). This server works with the standard WWW clients as well as clients like XMosaic that support embedded graphics and it supports HTTP version 0. What's New? =========== Lots of new stuff in this release! First, a big thanks goes to Chris Johnson (chrisj@bongo.cc.utexas.edu) who provided a chunk of code for resolving file aliases. That means that as of this version, you can have aliases in place of every file with the exception of the log file and they will be correctly interpreted. Logging to a file has been implemented, capturing information on the date, time, remote host, and requested file. Information on whether or not the query was successfully performed is also logged. Logging is controlled in the config file. Specifications for the Default.html and Error.html files were added to the configuration file, allowing you to specify any file for your home page as well as error messages. These files can now be AppleScripts as well. See the Special Files and Configuration File sections for more details. Please read this document carefully. A lot of information has been added and I probably haven't documented it very well. Communications-Network

MacPing 2.0.4 Demo comm/net/mac-ping-demo.hqx Richard E. Brown 15 Dec 1993 AppleTalk network testing program. MacPing is an AppleTalk network testing program. Just as sonar or radar systems send a signal and wait for an echo, MacPing sends "probe packets" (usually AppleTalk Echo Request packets) into the network and waits for responses from the various devices on the network. The arrival of these response packets (or the lack of responses), along with the time the responses take to arrive, can tell a great deal about the network. MacPing differs from other network testing programs in that it tests all the devices on a particular network in parallel. This allows you to compare the performance of different devices on the same wire to determine the cause of network problems. MacPing works on a Macintosh 512Ke and up, and requires System 4.1 or newer. It also requires a network connection, either LocalTalk(R) or EtherTalk(R). MacPing is compatible with System 7, and works with both Phase I and Phase II AppleTalk networks. MacPing 2.0.4 is available now, and retails for $69.00. An unlimited-copy site license is available for $149.00. A site license includes the right to make copies of the manual and to use MacPing in all offices and facilities of the licensee in a single location. Mastercard, Visa, purchase orders, company and personal checks, and money orders welcomed. We accept purchase orders or credit card orders sent through fax. For more information about MacPing, or to place an order, contact: Software Sales Dartmouth College 6028-I Kiewit Computer Center Hanover, NH 03755-3523 USA 603/646-2643 603/646-2810 (fax) ----------- WHAT'S MISSING IN THIS DEMO? ---------- MacPing 2.0.4 DEMO allows you to test the local zone only.

MacTCP Patch comm/net/mactcp-retransmit-patch.hqx Igor Livshits 24 Aug 1993 Alters the MacTCP driver to use Peter Lewis' patch. Howdy, This is a little application that will alter the MacTCP driver to incorporate Peter Lewis' patch. You will need a virgin copy of MacTCP, version 1.1.1 for this process. MacTCP 1.1.1 is not included in this upload -- it is a commercial product. I also understand that this problem is fixed in MacTCP 2.03 and the upcoming MacTCP 3. Please report any problems to igorl@uiuc.edu. Many thanks to Peter for providing the patch information in the first place and Michael Hecht for the splendid utility ResCompare that compiled this patch. Patch Description ================= (Stolen and edited from a recent discussion on Nuntius-L) Here's how to make the hack: Make a copy of MacTCP Open the original with ResEdit Double click the DRVR icon click the entry, and choose Open using Hex Editor (*** HEX EDITOR! ***) choose Find Hex (cmd-F I think) Enter: 3542 0210 E34A D441 302A 021A B440 6A04 3400 600A Find the 302A 021A in the middle, select that, and type 303C 0BB8 save and close all the windows restart. Grab a copy of MacTCP Watcher, and make sure its not doing too much retransmission. Too much is defined as more than about 5 or 10% probably. Peter. It is supposed to fix the retransmit bug that has been bothering users with "slow" serial lines, usually via modem. It has worked fine for me, although it is hard to tell when something suddenly works as expected :-) Good luck, Klaus Cheers, Igor Communications-Network
MacTCP Watcher 1.1.0 comm/net/mactcp-watcher-11.hqx Peter N Lewis 9 Jul 1993 Displays the internal data of MacTCP. Peter N Lewis <peter.lewis@info.curtin.edu.au> Ph: +61 9 368 2055 MacTCP Watcher v1.1.0 displays the internal data of MacTCP. It shows this Mac's IP, DNS name, and all the internal information that MacTCP provides (much of which I don't understand, so please don't ask me what it means!). It will also list all the currently open TCP connections, and the information on each of them. As well, it allows you to test MacTCP and your network, using the ICMP Ping protocol, the UDP & TCP Echo protocols (you'll need a machine that supports the echo protocol, most unix machines do, and I've implemented them in MacTCP Watcher, so you can run the program on two Macs and test the network between them as well as the MacTCP configuration on each of them), and it tests out the DNS by looking up the name of a given IP or IP of a given name. It should be useful to people having MacTCP configuration troubles, network or Domain Name System problems, or the cronically curious. MacTCP Watcher is free, and comes with a free copy of Eric Behr's MacTCP Info document (thanks Eric!), so if you have MacTCP problems, check it out. Changes since 1.0.0 ICMP (Ping) and UDP test have been totally revamped, now they give you min/max/ave, sent/returned/lost, continuous tests, etc. Connection list should always update. You can Copy the DNS IP or Name after a successful DNS query. Added a hack to allow disabling of Reverse Name Lookup Failed messages. Have fun, Peter. <peter.lewis@info.curtin.edu.au> MacTCP Watcher v1.1.0 Copyright 1993 Peter N Lewis Communications-Network

NotifyMail 1.1.1 comm/net/notify-mail-111.hqx Scott Gruby 2 Nov 1993 Background-only app that listens for a telnet connection to port 1035. NotifyMail v. 1.1.1 for Eudora -------------------------- Assembled and tested by Scott Gruby (Scott_Gruby@hmc.edu) Source code by Peter N Lewis NotifyMail is a background only application that listens for a telnet connection to port 1035. When it receives the connection, it sends an AppleEvent to Eudora to check your mail. The end result (when coupled with a .forward file on your UNIX machine) 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. This requires Eudora 1.4 or higher and MacTCP 1.1 or higher. Look at the Readme file for installation instructions.

Subject: rnMac 0.99 -- offline newsreader Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1993 16:14:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Roy R Wood <rrwood@accesspt.North.Net> Here's v0.99 of rnMac, an offline usenet newsreader designed to be used in conjunction with UUPC and ToadNews. There have been MANY enhancements to rnMac, most notably the ability to use ToadNews' SUBJ headers, and the ability to create threaded news header files in the background while the user is reading other news. rnMac now starts up IMMEDIATELY, rather than spending a long time grinding away at the disk while the user twiddles his/her thumbs. My email address has changed, so old users should note the new address. Also, rnMac now puts up an annoying registration screen, and registered users will have to mail me to get the key to make it go away permanently (no charge, of course). -Roy Wood (rrwood@accesspt.north.net) Communications-Network

I'm enclosing a heavily-demanded TCP utility extension which does the following: The INIT works by installing a system-wide patch which takes control when an application quits (or is quit by a forced MacsBug "es"). When it runs, the code scans through all of the currently open MacTCP streams and connections, looking for those that have their stream buffers allocated within the heap that is about to disappear. When ZapTCP finds a stream whose buffers are about to become no-man's land, it forces the connection closed and releases the stream, posting a notification to the user.

AutoDoubler 2.0.3 Patcher cmp/auto-doubler-202-updt.hqx Salient Software 18 Sep 1993 Patching program that automatically patches an installed AutoDoubler. Welcome! This program patches the following items: % AutoDoubler* 2.0 and 2.0.1 (now version 2.0.2) % AutoDoubler* 2.0i and 2.0.1i international versions (now version 2.0.2i) % AutoDoubler* 2.0.1P MacPak version (now version 2.0.2P) This patching program will automatically patch the installed copy of AutoDoubler if it can be located. To patch a specific copy of a file, 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. Note: This patcher patches ONLY AutoDoubler. If you are running AutoDoubler version 2.0.x, then you should also get the CopyDoubler Lite 2.0.1 patcher, which contains patches for upgrading CopyDoubler 1.0.x to version 2.0.1 Lite. AutoDoubler 2.0.2 New Features: % Documents can now be excluded from automatic compression by type and creator. To exclude a document by its kind, click the RDonUt CompressIS button in the AutoDoubler control panel and then click the RAdd Kind To ListIS button in the exclusion dialog. % Excluded files can now be moved to different folders under System 7.0 and later. Previously, if a file was added to AutoDoublerUs excluded items list and subsequently moved to a different folder, AutoDoubler was unable to find the file. This limitation does not apply to folders, which can be freely moved under all system versions. % Under System 7.x, items without a label (RNoneS in the Label menu) can now be excluded from compression. % A single checkbox has been added to the main AutoDoubler control panel window to enable/disable automatic compression. This makes it easier to turn on or off all background compression without having to change the setting for each individual disk. This does not affect automatic expansion of files, which cannot be disabled from the AutoDoubler control panel. % The On/Off RswitchS has been removed from the AutoDoubler control panel. To turn off AutoDoubler, use an INIT manager to disable it or remove the control panel file from the Control Panels folder (System Folder under System 6.0.x). AutoDoubler 2.0.2 Changes/Fixes: % Retrospect 2.0 and Retrospect Remote have been added to AutoDoubler internal backup program list. The RBackup Programs Backup In Compressed FormS option in the Preferences dialog will now work properly for these programs. % Fixed a Timbuktu problem where sending compressed files to a remote machine could cause Timbuktu to lose the connection. % AutoDoubler will no longer show CD-ROM and WORM drives in the main control panelUs volume list. % AutoDoubler will now properly monitor serial port activity in those communications programs which use the Communications Toolbox. % AutoDoubler will now preserve folder modification dates when compressing files at idle time. % Putting the cursor in AutoDoublerUs RCompress NowS corner of the screen will now work immediately after the Mac has started up. Previously, there was a delay of up to 30 seconds before AutoDoubler would start compressing files. % Worked around a problem in MPW which would cause problems whenever AutoDoubler was animating the cursor while expanding a file. % AutoDoubler no longer has to be loaded last when using some INIT/Control Panel management utilities.

Binary Pump cmp/binary-pump.hqx Eric Shieh 6 Dec 1993 Program that converts file tags or name extensions to the correct type. Ever download a file, only to have it appear as a generic binary file? If you transfer files with unix, IBM, or VAX systems frequently you've probably experienced this once or twice. Normally, the solution is to figure out the correct file type, and then use Resedit or some other utility and manually change the file type and creator. Binary Pump is a program which looks at file tags or name extensions in order to convert them to the correct mac file type and creator. This program is very easy and very quick to use--simply drag and drop and it's so fast you might wonder if it ran at all! Binary Pump will also work for non-Drag and Drop System 6.0.7 users. Binary Pump is also very easy to customize and has several features which allow the user to extract file tag information. Eric ehsieh@soda.berkeley.edu Compression

CRLF 1.0 cmp/crlf.hqx Natsu Sakimura 2 Dec 1993 A drag & drop application that converts CR, LF and CRLF files. CRLF is a drag & drop application which performs the conversion of CR(Mac), LF(Unix) and CRLF(PC) files. It auto-detects the end of line code of the file which was dropped and converts to the desired file type. Once you have set up the preference, you will rarely need to make any interaction with CRLF later. CRLF converts the file "in place". The filename stays the same before and after the conversion. You will notice that it was converted just by looking at the icons. You can set up these icons by specifying the creator for each type of output file. Also, CRLF is capable of dealing with Japanese text, unlike some other similar utilities. This is a freeware. Natsu Sakimura Compression

DeHQX 2.0.1 cmp/dehqx-201.hqx Peter N Lewis 31 Jul 1993 Decodes BinHex 4.0 encoded documents. DeHQX v2.0.1 is an application to decode BinHex 4.0 encoded documents. It will ignore all headers and comp.binaries.mac part seperators, handles multiple encoded documents in one file, or split across multiple files, decode files or folders of files. It runs happily in the background with little affect on foreground processes. Its not all that fast, so just drop the files on DeHQX and then ignore it and they will be magically decoded. This version corrects an incompatibility with AppleScript. Hopefully I haven't added any new bugs, I haven't looked at this code in years. I strongly recomend you look at StuffIt Expander if DeHQX is any use to you, since it does most of what DeHQX does, and a lot more (and its free too). DeHQX is free for any use (except you can't resell it). The source for DeHQX 2.0.0 is available, I haven't updated it because the changes were very minor. Enjoy, Peter.

Enigma 2.1a cmp/enigma-21a.hqx Mike Watson 1 Nov 1993 Protects sensitive documents with encription. This is the complete Enigma 2.1a release. If you already have Enigma 2.1 look for a file called enigma21a-upgrade for a shorter download. I am releasing Enigma 2.1a to fix a somewhat significant but cosmetic bug. There is no need to download this version if you already have Enigma 2.1 and are satisfied with it. The bug is triggered if you drag and drop more than a single file onto Enigma with "Remember Key" selected as an option. The program will erroneously tag all files after the first one as being encrypted with full DES [they are NOT!]. Later when you decrypt such files you may get a warning about this fact. The warning can be ignored and the file will decrypt properly. As a bonus I have also made the warning dialog that comes up for an incorrect key much clearer. Let me repeat, the files tagged as full DES are NOT encrypted with full DES. This version does not (and can not due to US export law) contain code to implement full DES. The bug was in the code that determined what file type to assign. Encrypt a file both ways, you will see they are identical. Registered users have no need to upgrade unless you do most of your work with the limited DES mode. For those unfamiliar with Enigma it is an application which can provide near absolute protection for your sensitive documents and applications. By downloading this application you can encrypt files using a limited version of the Government Standard DES algorithm. For only $15 this can be upgraded to the full DES standard (US and Canada only). If you would prefer your neighbors not see your accounting data, your co-workers not see your performance appraisal, or your competitor see your trade secrets then Enigma is an application you will find very valuable. Since version 2.0 Enigma has supported vaults which are like very securely locked file cabinets. Multiple files are stored in them. Files can be added, deleted, renamed, and extracted at any time. Security is much enhanced because filenames and lengths are protected by encryption in addition to the contents. No other free or shareware encryption program offers the flexibility of Enigma vaults. Version 2.1 contains user interface upgrades and bug fixes to Enigma 2.0. The primary features added to version 2.1 are: - Vaults now display the file size along with the file name - Vaults can now be compacted, improving disk space efficiency - There are now options which will prompt the user to confirm dangerous operations - The annoying crash when an incorrect key was entered has been eliminated - Cool Color Icons - You can now extract files from vaults by double clicking on the file name in the vault window. Enigma 2.1 remains fully compatible with previous versions of Enigma. If you possess a version of Enigma prior to Enigma 2.1 I recommend this upgrade (VERY recommended if you have a version older than 2.0). Enigma 2.1 requires system 7.0 or later along with about 512K of memory and 200K of disk space. Documentation enclosed specifies ordering information for a system 6 or earlier compatible version, but the vault features are unavailable. Included with the package is a program that overwrite and delete files so they can not be recovered with a data recovery program such as Norton Utilities (Enigma can also do this automatically if you request it). Enigma 2.1 in this limited form is completely free. No shareware guilt. Compression

NAFF cmp/naff.hqx Christopher Garland 9 Oct 1993 No-frills, quick-and-dirty text file format conversion utility. *********************** Not Another File Filter - a comms/multi-OS environment utility. *********************** NAFF is a no-frills, quick-and-dirty utility for converting between Mac, Dos and Unix text file formats. Just drag the file(s) you wish to convert over the NAFF icon, select the conversion required and the characters to be added to construct the output file name(s) and let it go.... NAFF runs in the background under System 7 (which it requires), but in any case is reasonably fast, so it should not often need to be backgrounded, unless you have very large, or very many files to convert. Double-clicking the NAFF icon will present an input file selection box immediately for conversion of a single file. Output files are in MacWrite text file format, still the lowest common denominator format and readable by any text editor/word processor. This program is free. Distribute it as you like, but only with this documentation.

Stego 1.0a2 cmp/stego-10a2.hqx Romana Machado 23 Nov 1993 Steganography tool for the macintosh. Announcing Stego 1.0a2The First Steganography Tool For The Macintoshby Romana Machado of Paradigm Shift Research11/21/93 What is steganography?Steganography is a method by which a message can be disguised by making it appear to be something else. It derives from two Greek roots. "Steg-" means "roof", the same root used in "stegosaur", called a "roof lizard" because of the large bony plates that decorate its back, and "-graphy" means writing. "Steganography" means "roofed", or covert writing.What is Stego?Stego is a tool that enables you to embed data in, and retrieve data from, Macintosh PICT format files, without changing the appearance of the PICT file. Though its effect is visually undetectable, do not expect cryptographic security from Stego. Be aware that anyone with a copy of Stego can retrieve your data from your PICT file. Stego can be used as an "envelope" to hide a _previously encrypted_ data file in a PICT file, making it much less likely to be detected.How does Stego works by slightly altering pixel values. Every computer graphics image is made up of an array of tiny dots of color, called pixels. The color of each pixel is determined by its pixel value. The pixel value is a number. In a computer, all numbers, and all data are expressed by sequences of bits, or ones and zeroes. For example, in an 8 bit computer graphics image, each pixelUs color is determined by a sequence of 8 bits. The first bit in the sequence is called the "most significant bit", because it affects the pixel value the most, and the last bit in the sequence is called the "least significant bit", because it affects the pixel value the least. Stego hides data by reading your data file one bit at a time, and copying each bit to the least significant bit of each pixel value as it scans across the image. Stego TipsStego can hide data in 8, 16, and 32 bit Macintosh PICT files. Stego can hide data from the data fork of Macintosh files only. If you need to steg something that has resources, use utility like BinHex, or an encryption or compression utility, to convert it to a binary data file first.Stego CommandsOpen... will only display PICT files. When you select a file, Stego displays it with an info window across the top that tells you how much data can be stegged into the file.Steg... becomes enabled when a PICT file is open. It allows you to choose any type of file to steg, and informs you if the file has resources, or if it will not fit in the PICT file.Unsteg... also becomes enabled when a PICT file is open. It asks you to specify an output file, and unstegs the data in the least significant bits of the PICT file. It will produce an output file even if nothing's been previously stegged into the file.Change File Info... This function allows you to change the file type and creator of any file, and is enabled when no PICT file is currently open. You may need to change the file type and creator of your data file back to what they were before your file was stegged, because Stego does not save file type and creator. The default output file of Stego is a TeachText file, with a file type of 'TEXT' and a file creator of 'ttxt', so that if you double-click on a Stego output file, TeachText will launch and display it. If you're in doubt whether you need this function, you can experiment by using the Change File Info... command to look at the file type and creator of your data file before you steg your data file, then unstegging to an output file, closing the PICT file, and using the Change File Info... command to set the file type and creator back to what they were originally.Good NewsI plan to release the code for Stego, but itUs not fully groomed yet. In the mean time,it is available on request. Stego may be expanded to handle other image formats, and other digital media: audio, video, etc. Output file type and creator defaults will be configurable in the next release. The next release will be able to steg and unsteg PICT resources in Macintosh files. I'd like to hear your suggestions for further development of Stego.I have heard that new versions of PGP are being developed that can produce cyphertext that does not have the telltale headers and footers attached to the cyphertext, which would make cyphertext less detectable when stegged into a carrier. Meanwhile, other encryption methods exist that can produce cyphertext that appears to be nothing more than a collection of random numbers. This kind of file is ideal for stegging.Technical NotesStego rasterizes the image, then stegs data into the least significant bit (or LSB) of each of the RGB color values. (In the case of indexed color, Stego stegs data into the LSB of the index values.) The file length of the data file to be stegged is hidden in the LSB's of the first 32 steggable bytes. To disguise this value somewhat, I take the second to least significant bits of the second 32 steggable bytes and XOR these with the 32 bit file length, and then steg the XOR'd file length into the LSB's of the first 32 steggable bits. Where Can I Get Stego?Stego is available via anonymous ftp from sumex-aim.stanford.edu. A text file containing abstracts of all available files is available in the info-mac/help/ directory. Stego is also available via anonymous ftp from soda.berkeley.edu.Don't Forget!Stego is shareware.

Version 1.0.1 fixes several bugs, adds a few minor enhancements, works much nicer with At Ease, and tries to be a better international citizen. Look for a Japanese version of About coming soon to wherever fine software is archived! --Michael August 15, 1993 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION (ABOUT 1.0) When I first saw the System 7 Finder's "About This Macintosh" display, I thought it looked really cool. Then I tried to make it DO something, like switch me to an application when I clicked its icon. I was somewhat disappointed when nothing happened. I was even more disappointed to find I couldn't make the display appear automatically when I started up the Mac! So, out of frustration, I decided to write my own version. The result is About, a process monitor. Its appearance is an unabashed knockoff of the Finder's display; but unlike that display, you can actually use About to interact with your processes and get information on them. A little arrow appears next to the current process. Clicking an icon switches you to its process, and option-clicking an icon hides or shows that process, just like the Hide and Show commands in the application menu. You can customize the display in many ways--use large icons if you prefer, or arrange the processes by their location in memory to reveal the "holes" in your address space. Other commands allow you to monitor background-only processes, view CPU load, create an "icon palette" of your favorite applications, find a running application's location on disk, and force other processes to quit. About can also maintain a log of application activity. And as an extra added bonus for the Internet community, About warns you if you have more than 8 MB of physical RAM installed, but haven't enabled 32-bit addressing. About is FREE. --Michael Configuration
AboutThatMac 1.0.5 cfg/about-that-mac-105.hqx Charlie Cassidy 5 Jul 1993 An easy-to-use system management utility. AboutThatMac V1.0.5 Remote Process Memory Monitor AboutThatMac is an easy-to-use system management utility that allows system support and helpdesk personnel to remotely monitor application memory use and diagnose problems with application memory sizes. Similar to the Apple FinderUs "About This Macintosh" dialog box, AboutThatMac lists all background processes seperately, giving a more detailed view of the memory use on any Mac in your network. It uses Apple Events for communication between client and server and Process Manager to get information on processes. AboutThatMac requires System 7.0 or greater.

AutoBoot 1.2.2 cfg/auto-boot-122.hqx Karl Pottie 14 Jul 1993 A Control Panel/Extension which reboots the Mac after a system crash. AutoBoot version 1.2.2 (c) 1992-93 by Karl Pottie A. What is AutoBoot ? AutoBoot is a Control Panel/System extension which will reboot (restart) you Macintosh after a System Error or a Freeze-Up has occurred. This comes in handy when your Macintosh must be 'on-line' at all times, even when it is left unattended for long periods of time. For instance, people using Timbuktu (a package which allows you to operate a Mac remotely by modem) or ARA complained that they had to drive down to the location of the Mac to reboot it after a system crash. Very nice if the Mac is located at the other side of town ! Other uses can be found for file servers, systems that carry a BBS, systems with a FAX modem, systems which have file sharing turned on, disabled people who can not restart their mac themselves... AutoBoot allows maximal availability of these Macs, even in the presence of System crashes or Freeze-Ups. As one user wrote to me: "Permit me to thank you a thousand times for having developed it [...] For the fact that we were running your product last night, we were able to obtain 2 very important telefaxes that we would not have otherwise received". Version 1.2 is now compatible with Virtual Memory except on some older Macs (check documentation). AutoBoot version 1.2.2 changes: This version corrects an interface bug which prevented the use of some of the check boxes in the control panel. AutoBoot version 1.2.1 changes: This version fixes a bug on 68040 machines which caused the log-entry and notification after an automatic reboot to be absent. The minimum freeze-up delay has been changed from 15 to 10 minutes due to popular demand. I suggest you carefully read the "About AutoBoot" document before installing AutoBoot on your system. Please read the "Version 1.2.2 changes" document to be notified of some important changes. AutoBoot requires at least system 6.0.4. It is 32 bit clean, compatible with system 7 and VM compatible. Shareware: The basic fee for the first copy of AutoBoot is $20. For each additional macintosh you run this product on, you must pay another $10. You can distribute this software by giving it away to friend, upload it to a BBS or online services like Compuserve or AOL, or send it to any ftp site. Basically you can distribute it any way you like, as long as you don't ask any money for it, other than a small charge related to distribution costs (cost of a disk, postage or download fee) and keep it together with the unmodified document in the original compressed archive this product came in.

AutoBuild 1.0.1 cfg/autobuild-101.hqx Rene G.A. Ros 22 Nov 1993 This extension deletes the Desktop Database automatically, at preset times. AutoBuild 1.0.1 Extension for System 7 and later. Written by Rene G.A. Ros. Freeware. This extension deletes automatically, at preset intervals, the Desktop Database which is maintained by the system (since 7.0) for every volume larger than 2 Mb. After deletion it is then rebuilt by the Finder. It also deletes the Desktop Database when the extension is moved to another disk, which is useful for harddisk-update software like LikeWise. Unfortunally, version 1.0 was incompatible with certain Macintosh models regarding the functions to mount all disks. This is rewritten based on suggestions from Pete Resnick and Francois Pottier, and should no longer cause any problem. Rene Ros rgaros@bio.vu.nl Configuration

AV Digitizer Options cfg/av-digitizer-options.hqx Mike Bell 9 Dec 1993 An extension for use with the AV Macs. AV Digitizer Options Notes Notice: This software is copyrighted by Apple Computer, Inc. You may freeely distribute this software as long as you do not charge for it and as long as this notice accompanies the AV Digitizer Options file. This software is distributed as is and is not supported by Apple. More legalese: Apple Computer, Inc. does not endorse, warrant, guarantee, or make any representations, express or implied, with respect to this software, its quality, performance, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. In no event will Apple be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use of this software. Description: The "AV Digitizer Options" extension is a "video panel component" for use with the Macintosh Quadra 840AV, Quadra 660AV and the Centris 660AV. It provides access to several capabilities of the AV video hardware that are not easily accessed otherwise: 1. It allows the user to switch the color space of the live video window from 16bpp color to 8bpp grayscale. Note than in monitors with a resolution higher than 832 x 624, video will only be displayed in 8bpp grayscale. This is a hardware limitation. 2. It allows the user to select 1 of 7 different levels of transparency for the live video. This means that when you superimpose a graphics window in front of the live video window, the live video can "blend" with the graphics at 7 different levels: (% Graphics / % Video) 100%/0%, 75%/25%, 62%/38%, 50%/50%, 38%/62%, 25%/75%, and 0%/100%. Please note, that this feature is only available when the graphics is in 256 colors or grays. 3. It allows the user to bypass the Inverse Gamma lookup table in the Digital Video Scaler. When the lookup table is bypassed the video data written to VRAM will not be modified. Note that there is another lookup table in the output end that only affects the displayed data (Not the captured video data). This lookup table has the same Gamma correction as that of the displayed graphics. In order to bypass that table, go to the Options dialog of the monitors control panel, while holding the option key. Select the "Uncorrected Gamma" as the gamma table. Installation: Drag the file into the Extensions folder of your system and reboot the machine. You can access the features through the "Video Settings..." menu item of any QuickTime 1.5 or higher aware application. Extra Notes: Presently, most video applications will stop live video playthrough when they are switched into the background. This is because if they don't, the video will blast through any windows that are in the front. However, the AV hardware has a dual frame buffer architecture that avoids the need for stopping the video. Thus transparency will not work in these applications. The only shipping application that I know that allows video-playthrough while in the background is Video Monitor, from Apple. Bug reports, comments to: Fernando Urbina, Apple Computer.

AV Speedup 1.0 cfg/av-speedup-10.hqx Igor Livshits 12 Nov 1993 Helps alleviate some excessive disk drive hits in AV Macs. Howdy, AV Speedup 1.0 will alleviate some excessive disk drive hits experienced by owners of AV Macs. A good example of this is Eudora; if you have the program, try changing something in the Special:Configuration dialog box. For every keypress, you will hear your drive whirr as the resource fork is flushed to disk. After installing AV Speedup, your Mac will be nice and quite as the resource flush is delayed until a more appropriate time. I have not noticed any problems with this extension after running it for two days. Matt Gough and Brian Stroud agreed to distribute this extension as long as: 1. Only version 1.0 is made available at this time. 2. There is a short disclaimer about them not being responsible for any (unlikely) problems caused by it. So, please understand that holding Matt and Brian responsible for any problems caused by this extension will be futile ;-) This archive includes the extension, the AppleLink announcement from Matt and Brian, and the original "840AV Disk-Thrashing" note. Enjoy, Igor Configuration
Bomb Shelter 1.0.1 cfg/bomb-shelter-101.hqx Andrew Welch Derek Chee 14 Oct 1993 An INIT that gives some protection from System Bombs. Here's an updated version of Andrew Welch's Bomb Shelter Extension, v1.0.1. His description follows. -- Derek ---------- Bomb shelter is a little INIT (it uses up under 1/2 K of memory) that gives you some protection from System Bombs. System Bombs occur when a program goes out of control due to programmer error and crashes the machine. The Macintosh brings up a dialog box that says "Sorry, a System Error has occurred" with two buttons in it, Restart and Resume. Unfortunately, the Resume button will only be enabled if the application you are currently running specifically enables it. Most don't. So I created Bomb Shelter. Bomb Shelter makes sure that the Resume button is always enabled. Clicking on the Resume button will cause the current program to terminate and put you back in the Finder. Once there, you should save any files you may have on a RAM Disk and then Restart. While this may seem like no advantage over clicking on the Restart button, it actually allows your Macintosh to do some clean up work which makes sure your hard drive doesn't get corrupted. Also, if the System Bomb was not a bad one, you may be able to continue working without restarting. This program is completely free! _____________________________________________________________________________ Derek Chee Configuration
Carpetbag 1.4 cfg/carpetbag-14.hqx Jim Walker 26 Aug 1993 A control panel that makes resources available for use w/o installing them. Carpetbag is a shareware ($5) control panel extension that makes resources such as fonts, sounds, FKEYs, and keyboard layouts available to your programs without installing the resources in the System file. You specify certain folders, and Carpetbag opens all resource files therein at boot time. It works under System 6, but is smarter about keeping track of folders under System 7. It should even be able to use a folder on a remote Appleshare volume. This file is in StuffIt 3.0 format. It can be decompressed with StuffIt Expander (freeware) or anything in the StuffIt 3.0 family. v. 1.4 New feature: A folder can be "postponed", which means that its location is remembered but its files are not opened at startup. -- Jim Walker Configuration
ColorSwitch 2.0 cfg/color-switch-20.hqx Andrew Welch Derek Chee 20 Sep 1993 A Control Panel that allows switching between color modes. Hi, Here's the latest version of ColorSwitch, v2.0, from Andrew Welch. His description follows. - ---- ColorSwitch is a Control Panel that allows you to effortlessly switch between the available color modes of any attached monitors. Instead of the inconvenience of using the Monitors Control Panel every time you want to switch between color modes, you can simply hold down the ColorSwitch modifier keys and click anywhere on the monitor you want to change. A menu will pop up listing the available color modes for the monitor you clicked on; just select the color mode you want and ColorSwitch will acquiesce. Under System 7 or later, things are even easier: ColorSwitch installs a Monitor icon-menu next to the Balloon Help menu, from which you can simply choose the color mode you desire for your main monitor. ColorSwitch comes in very handy for many day-to-day tasks. Certain programs require that your monitor be set to a certain color mode in order to run, and using the Monitors control panel every time you need to switch color modes grows tiresome quickly. Your Macintosh will also operate more quickly if you normally operate in black and white mode, switching to a more colorful setting only when you need to. ColorSwitch makes switching color modes so quick and convenient, you will find yourself using it constantly to improve your quality of life at the computer. Once installed, ColorSwitch uses up 5K of memory. Configuration

Monitor 1.5.1 cfg/monitor-151.hqx Mark Alldritt 18 Jul 1993 A utility that allows monitoring the level of activity in a Mac. Monitor 1.5-1 Copyright 1991-1993 Mark Alldritt All Rights Reserved Monitor is a utility for the Macintosh which allows you to see the level of activity taking place within your computer. Monitor presents a number of different types of information including CPU utilization, memory usage and disk space availability. Much of the information presented by Monitor is displayed using simple graphs. Monitor relies heavily on facilities of the Macintosh System 7 operating system to gather data about your Macintosh. As a result, Monitor will not work with versions of the Macintosh operating system prior to System 7. Changes for version 1.5-1: - Corrected a bug which caused Monitor to hang in rare circumstances - Removed redundant code - reduced partition size from 80 to 75K. Changes for version 1.5: - Added a Memory window which presents a summary of memory usage. This window displays memory usage information for the system as a whole and for each running application. The Memory window is similar to the Finder's "About This Macintosh" window. - Added new sorting options to the Volume Order menu. - Changed menu highlighting for the Show Volumes and Show Applications menu items to make them conform more to the interface guidelines. - Corrected a window redraw problem which caused the bars in the Applications window to break up when foreground applications changed the color palette. - Corrected a rare problem which caused volume name changes and volume dismounts not to be reflected properly in the Volumes window. - Added a limits check when adjusting window positions to avoid a problem where window title bars could move up under the menu bar when Resize Upwards is selected. - Made Monitor sensitive to changes in the size of the desktop when positioning windows at startup time. - Corrected a problem where desk accessories were not sorted properly in the Applications window. - Changed the way Pause operates. It now pauses immediately as opposed to taking one more sample. Also, windows are inverted while Monitor is paused. Monitor is freeware. See Read Me file for conditions. Thank you to all those that responded to Monitor 1.4 & 1.5 with words of encouragement, suggestions and problem reports.

Narrow21 1.0.1 Narrow21 is a system extension for the Macintosh which makes the display from your built-in video appear narrower at the normal Macintosh 21-inch resolution of 1152 by 870. If your display appears too wide for your monitor and/or is shifted off to the left at the 21-inch resolution, then give this program a try. Narrow21 has significant advantages over the similar system extension which comes with the E-Machines T16II monitor. Narrow21 works on the newer Macintoshes, is more compatible with other software (doesn't patch any traps), uses less memory and less processing time, and functions correctly in more situations (for instance, after exiting MacsBug). Narrow21 currently works on the following Macintosh computers: Centris 610 Centris 650 Quadra 700 Quadra 800 Quadra 900 Quadra 950 Monitors which are known to benefit from this software (there may be others as well) include the following: E-Machines T16II MAG MX-17S Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 17" If you find any other monitors which require Narrow21 in order to use the 21-inch resolution, please indicate the manufacturer and model of your monitor on your registration form.

NiceStopShutDown 1.0 cfg/nice-stop-shut-down-10.hqx Eugene Cohen 30 Aug 1993 Restarts the computer when ‘Shutdown’ is chosen from the ‘Special’ menu. NiceStopShutDown version 1.0 by Eugene Cohen In a typical computer lab, computers have numerous users during the day. Often, these users will shut down the computer when they are finished using them. Studies show that there is less strain on a computer's components when power is continually left on, than when the power to the computer is repeatedly switched on and off. NiceStopShutDown will restart the computer when 'Shutdown' is chosen from the 'Special' menu. HOWEVER, if the option key is down, the computer will shut down gracefully (and the hard disk's head will be parked--this is important). There are other similar extensions, but they require that you turn the power to the computer off while the Mac is in the proccess of rebooting, which can be dangerous to components such as hard disks. NiceStopShutDown has been tested on the following machines running System 7: Macintosh Plus, SE, Classic II, IIci, LC 520, Duo 210, and Quadra 700. Shareware $5 Lab License $25 Configuration

PBGadget 0.9 cfg/pb-gadget-09.hqx Ronald H. Nicholson, Jr. 8 Dec 1993 A small application to help manage battery usage on Powerbook Duo's. PBGadget version 0.9 fixes a bug where it reported Duo level battery voltages on some non-Duo powerbooks. Please replace app/pbgadget-05.hqx and gui/pb-gadget-08.hqx with this version. Features in version 0.8: an indicator bar of how much time is left until the disk spins down. My luck was that the disk would spin down just before I needed to do a save, so I wanted some sort of indicator. PBGadget is a small application to help manage battery usage on Powerbook Duo's. It puts up a clock and battery voltage readout in the upper right corner of the screen. When the power supply is unplugged, the clock changes to a timer of how long the Duo has been running on battery power. A vertical bar on the left side of the time window indicates much time there is left until the disk spins down. There are five cmdkey commands. p puts up a history Plot of the battery voltage. n spins the disk down Now. d reinitializes the disk spindown timer. (double clicking does the same) s puts the powerbook to Sleep. cmd-r Resets the history plot. (The history wraps after 8.5 hours.) cmd-w changes the cursor to a Watch (this prevents the processor from napping or auto-sleeping). cmd-c copies the battery voltage history as text to the clipboard. cmd-q quits. For Duo's, at the bottom of the plot there is extended power manager status, battery pack voltage (old & new) , battery power draw in Watts, battery pack temperature and duo internal temperature in degrees C, backlight brightness, LCD contrast and processor speed information. Hold down the mouse button to also get the battery pack serial number. Copyright 1993 Ronald H. Nicholson, Jr. distributed as Freeware. Please send bug reports to rhn@netcom.com Configuration

Peeping Tom 1.2 cfg/peeping-tom-12.hqx Bret Olmsted 28 Nov 1993 An INIT that monitors currently open applications and desk accessories. Peeping Tom v1.2 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 five 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. Configuration

sAVe the Disk 1.2.1 cfg/save-the-disk-121.hqx Michael Thies 13 Dec 1993 Fixes two deficiencies of the AV Macs. December 13, 1993 The enclosed file is a bin-hexed/compact-pro archive. I am the author of this FreeWare system extension, which I call "sAVe the Disk". This file contains version 1.2.1 of sAVe the Disk which supersedes the previous version 1.1. sAVe the Disk 1.2.1 fixes two deficiencies of the AV Macs: It speeds up certain Resource Manager operations and prevents extra disk activity before and after sounds are played. sAVe the Disk works on Centris/Quadra 660av and Quadra 840av. It requires System 7.1 and version 1.0 or 1.1 of the System Enabler 088. Although sAVe the Disk has not caused me any trouble I'm not responsible for any (unlikely) problems you may experience. This updated version adds compatibility with the 1.0 Enabler and does not rely on the system's disk cache in any way. Thanks to everybody who reported problems and/or helped in testing this improved release. Best regards, Michael Thies. (andymon@uni-paderborn.de) Configuration

Threshold 1.0.0 cfg/threshold-100.hqx Jeremy Kezer 5 Dec 1993 Allows for adjusting PowerBook low battery warning levels. Threshold 1.0.0 for PowerBooks (by Jeremy Kezer) As we PowerBook owners all know, the PowerBook is smart enough to warn you when your battery is getting low. Unfortunately, these warnings can be conservative, especially with external batteries. Threshold changes all that! With Threshold, you can adjust the voltages at which the warnings occur. This allows you to alter the warnings so that they come up later than usual, giving you more productive battery time. In addition to the default Apple warnings, you can program up to three custom warning sets. Threshold sports a concise graphical display. It shows an analog graph representing current battery voltage, with the current warning points illustrated. There is also a battery status indicator, an elapsed timer, and a sleep button. You can also easily adjust the warning thresholds via up & down arrows. Shareware; $10 registration fee will activate all features.

As opposed to 4D, where it just writes out the integer corresponding to the current selection and you have to write a loop to write out the elements. It's 20-50 times faster than the equivalent compiled 4D code for text arrays, which is the worst case. Arrays of fixed-length items are much faster. Development-4th Dim-External

Commander Demo dev/a4d/commander-reference-demo.hqx Allan Udy 17 Sep 1993 Demo version of the Commander on-line command reference database. Commander DEMO Demonstration version of the Commander on-line command reference database for the 4th DimensionR procedural language. Commander contains over 95% of the 4th Dimension Language Reference Manual in an easy to use and search format. All 4th DimensionR commands are included along with the full descriptions of those commands as contained in the Language Reference Manual. Additional notes and source code examples have been added to suppliment the original decriptions where appropriate. All other chapters of the 4th DimensionR Language Reference Manual that 4th DimensionR users frequently need (such as 'The Layout Execution Cycle', and 'Components of Processes'), are also contained within Commander. Advantages Of Using Commander o Find the information or command description you are looking for easily in a seconds. o Easily navigate from one command reference to another using 'hyper-text' jumping, and rapidly skip back through the last dozen topics you looked at. o No more having to carry the 4th Dimension Language Reference manual around where ever you (and your Powerbook) go. o Additional notes about commands, extra source code fragments, and all recent addenda to the LR manual included. o Uses 100k of RAM, so you can have Commander open whenever you're using 4th Dimension-this is no memory hog. o Use standard Macintosh copy techniques to copy source code examples from Commander and paste directly into your own procedures. o Commander can be set to automatically hide itself when you switch it into the background-there are no additional windows cluttering up your desktop when they're not needed. Ordering information is included within the demo. Development-4th Dimension

Relate Selection dev/a4d/relate-selection-src.txt 6 Jul 1993 Two approaches to the RelateSelection procedure. Here are two approaches to the RelateSelection procedure, which generates a selection of records in a file based on a selection of records in a related file. In v3 JOIN and PROJECT SELECTION replace this method, though it still has some advantages. Procedure RelateSelection (enhanced) 5/20/91 _______________________________ This is an enhanced version of the recently uploaded RelateSelection. It's a little faster overall, and uses arrays to speed up searches on large base file selections. This code will find the records in a file (SearchFile) which are related to a selection of records in another file (BaseFile). The files can be related one to many, many to one or without drawn relations at all (this last is great for creating small indexes (lookup files) for large files). So far, when compiled, the code appears to be faster than any other method. Regarding the array technique, be aware that it requires 4 bytes of RAM Development-4th Dimension
System 7 Pack 3.4.2 Demo dev/a4d/sys7-pack-goodies.hqx Mike Cohen 3 Jul 1993 Demo of a commercial enhancement for 4D 2.2.3, 3.0.4 or later. This is a demo version of System 7 Pack, version 3.4.2, a commercial enhancement for 4th Dimension 2.2.3 or 3.0.4 or later. System 7 Pack allows 4D developers to add AppleEvent support to their applications.

X4Text Demo dev/a4d/x4-text-demo.hqx Jens Blomster 17 Sep 1993 Adds minimal text processing capacity to 4D applications. Text processing for 4th DimensionR X4Text is an accessory that adds a minimal text processing capacity to 4th DimensionR applications. If you click on this text, 4D's menu will be replaced with X4Text's menu and you can try editing yourself. You can play around with the text freely because the OK button below will not save your changes. X4Text gives you: - free choice of font, size and style - standard Macintosh cut/copy/paste of text with styling attributes - a simple tab function - embedded 4D variables in the text - multi-page documents with visible page breaks - a program interface to do anything with the text from 4D procedures. X4Text is a mini alternative to advanced word processors. It is very small (about 30 K) and there is no per-copy charge for using it, so it should not add any significant cost to the end user's price for a 4D application. I made this program for use in applications that I develop for my own customers. I am willing to license it to other developers if anyone wants to use it. You would then get the right to freely use an unlimited number of copies of the program within your own organization, and the right to copy and distribute an unlimited number of copies built into applications that you ship to your customers. My proposal how to write an agreement about this is under menu choice "Licensing". Sign it and mail it to the address below and you will get a production version and an invoice. If you think the words of the agreement should read otherwise, contact me. This demo application illustrates all functions of X4Text. Programmer's documentation can be read and printed using menu "Programming". The demo version is fully functional and you can test it in your own application if you like. The only nasty thing it does is writing "Demo" now and then. Best regards from the author of the program: Jens Blomster Development-4th Dimension

AppleScripts for THINK 6 1.1 dev/applescripts-for-think6-11.hqx Reinder Verlinde 19 Nov 1993 Three AppleScripts for use in combination with THINK 6.0 or 6.0.1. 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" to prevent TPM from asking which project to open at launch Reinder Verlinde (reinder@neuretv.biol.ruu.nl) Development-General
Appsprites dev/sprite-app-demo.hqx Jonathan W. Mills 12 Jul 1993 How to hook SpriteWorld 1.0.b3 to AppMaker 1.5.2 under THINK C 5.0.4. 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. July 10, 1993 Jonathan W. Mills Development-General

Jon's Commands 1.0b1 dev/jons-commands-10b1-as.hqx Jon Pugh 18 Sep 1993 Number of Apple Script commands. 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.

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.

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 dcostin@ucsd.edu or dcostin@ucsd.bitnet, or P.O. Box 13214, La Jolla, CA 92039-3214. Support is on a time-available basis. -Dan Costin KeMo Reaction Time Utilities Copyright 1992,1993 Dan Costin Development-General
LabMaster 1.0 dev/labmaster-10.hqx Peter Dodd 1 Dec 1993 Simplifies programming client-server software in a networked environment. Hello, [Abstract doctored. -isl] Files in this archive: LabMasterIntro (3k) contains and introduction to LabMaster LabMaster1-0.cpt (933k) contains the LabMaster software Files archived separately: LabMaster1-0DocsPS.cpt (789k) contains the LabMaster documentation in PostScript LabMaster1-0DocsRTF.cpt (729k) contains the LabMaster documentation in RTF format LabMaster1-0DocsWN3.cpt (515k) contains the LabMaster documentation in WriteNow 3.0 format 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 MacDev@cs.uwa.edu.au if there are any problems. Thanks in advance.

Logo 2.1.1 dev/logo-211.hqx John Stiles 29 Sep 1993 The most complete Logo for Macintosh you'll find for only $5! 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 -- it actually brought you back to Home! [Ooops!] Also, some keen-eyed users encountered a few details I hadn't seen... thanks!) Development-General
Mac Speech 0.1 dev/mac-speech-01.hqx Alan Coopersmith 11 Aug 1993 Plays samples of all the voices installed under the Speech Manager. 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. [Compressed with Stuffit Lite 3.0.6] Development-General
MacOberonLite 1.0 dev/mac-oberon-lite-10.hqx Oliver Dreer 15 Aug 1993 Mac development system based on MacOberon.

Mercutio 1.1.5 dev/mercutio-115.hqx Ramon M. Felciano 5 Dec 1993 Replacement for the standard menu definition routine. 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.

MPW Speech Tool dev/mpw-speech-tool.hqx Paul Russell 11 Aug 1993 MPW tool that reads standard input and converts it to spoken text. 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.

ObiWan 4.0.1 dev/obiwan-401.hqx Peter N Lewis 7 Aug 1993 General help system. 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. ObiWan 4.0.1 Copyright Peter N Lewis Development-General
Object Browser 1.0 Demo dev/object-browser-10-demo.hqx Brad Koehn 26 Jul 1993 Demo version of a programmer's utility for assisting debugging OOPs. 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.

Sprite Toolkit 2.0 dev/sprite-toolkit.hqx Ingemar Ragnemalm 5 Oct 1993 Library for programmers who make programs involving animation. 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. Development-General

ViewIt™ 2.21 dev/viewit-221.hqx Terry Forrester 5 Nov 1993 Shareware version of ViewIt(TM), a Mac programming tool. ViewIt 2.05 -> 2.2 Improvements -- support for floating, menu, and tear-off ViewIt windows -- support for switching applications when modal windows are open -- support for editing all resource types without quitting program -- new "Links" dialog showing all data links in a window -- enhanced support for CDEF-based dial controls -- more "3D" control examples -- new debugging features added to main help window -- new "Tutorial" program to help beginners -- improved organization and access to on-line documentation About ViewIt Shareware Version 2.2 A shareware version of ViewIt(TM) is being made available to the Macintosh programming community as a way of introducing ViewIt and other programming modules from FaceWare. ViewIt is one of the best Mac programming tools 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, scripting, database management, QuickDraw(TM) extensions, and 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) or other resource editor 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, modeless, and floating 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.

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.

Gestalt Selectors 2.2 dev/info/gestalt-selectors-22.hqx Rene G.A. Ros 9 Dec 1993 Version 2.2 of the Supplemental Gestalt Selectors List. Today I have released version 2.2 of the Supplemental Gestalt Selectors List It lists all sorts of information about the Gestalt Manager, but mainly about selectors and the meaning of the returned values. This is done to supplement the Gestalt Manager chapter in Inside Macintosh part VI. You can obtain the new version in several ways: - by sending an email to: gestalt-selectors-list-request@bio.vu.nl with as subject: archive get recent/gestalt-selectors.etx or to get the compressed version: archive get recent/gestalt-selectors.sit.hqx - FTP to the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu and get the file /info-mac/dev/info/gestalt-selectors-22.hqx You can also use any of its mirror sites. - CompuServe members can find it at the Macintosh Developers Forum (GO MACDEV) in the Tools/Debuggers section. - Subscribers of the maillist already have received their copy. If you want to join this list you will need to send an email to: gestalt-selectors-list-request@bio.vu.nl with in the subject line 'subscribe'. Please, be aware that it may take a couple of days before the new version is available at all these locations. Beside a large number of new and changed selectors, these are the major changes since the previous version: **** There is now an official mailing list to send updates around and receive your contributions. And perhaps for discussions regarding Gestalt. Some parts of the list have been changed to include guidelines on how to use the mailing-list. Contributions can be send to: gestalt-selectors-list@bio.vu.nl To subscribe/unsubscribe send an email with that command in the subject line to the normal email address: gestalt-selectors-list-request@bio.vu.nl The mail archive is reachable at: gestalt-selectors-list-request@bio.vu.nl You can get the abstracte file by using this command in the subject line: get ABSTRACTS Mark Dawson, Michael Hecht and Roland Mansson provided the machine types of the new Macs. Everyone of them had a piece of the puzzle. I also received a Gestalt! file about a new PowerPC prototype with machine type 100. The data suggests it emulates a M68020 CPU and has a PPC601. Thanks to the anonymous contributor. Rodrigo Torres (Macintosh Tech Support, Berkeley Systems) provided the AfterDarkGestalt.h file listing all selectors installed by After Dark. Including the SAVC and SAVR selectors for controling screen savers, which is becoming a standard for different screen savers. The file is available at the archive mailer as src/AfterDarkGestalt.h I had made an typo with the bit number when an additional bit was reported for the gestaltAppleEventsAttr selector. This error stayed around until the correct info appeared. And even then I thought it was correct until Lawrence D'Oliveiro said he'd never seen bit 2 set. A look into the contributions archive revealed my error. Changed! The gestaltMachineType entry has changed a bit. It now includes unreleased machines as well, although with most of them the return value is still a mystery. **** Regards, Rene Ros Development-Information

Lisp For Mac dev/info/lisp-for-mac.txt Steve Strassmann 7 Jun 1993 Info about development in dynamic languages for the Mac. Here's some info for the info-mac archives, specifically info about development in dynamic languages for the mac... 1) I recently explored around the Information/Development and Development/Information folders on sumex. To my chagrin, the entry for lisp I posted has somehow disappeared. I'm enclosing another copy below in the hopes of correcting that. 2) It seems that MacGambit 2.0 (also described below) has disappeared. It's available by anonymous ftp from trex.iro.umontreal.ca - would you be interested in snarfing it to the info-mac archives? 3) The file smalltalk-for-mac.txt should be updated to include info about the very cool new smalltalk, SmalltalkAgents.

Mac Programming Secrets 1.0.1 dev/info/mac-prog-secrets-101.hqx Scott Knaster, Keith Rollin Igor Livshits 10 May 1993 Sources to examples from Scott Knaster's and Keith Rollin's book. Attached are the sources to examples from Scott Knaster's and Keith Rollin's book _Macintosh Programming Secrets_, 2nd edition. Keith mentioned that he did not know how to send stuff to sumex-aim; so, I assumed he wanted it here ;-) Anyway, here's what he had to say: A few days ago, people were asking about the possibility of making the source code to Macintosh Programming Secrets (2nd Edition) available via ftp. Among the reasons against this, I cited that I really didn't have access to an ftp site. Oddly ( :-) ), this prompted at least three ftp site administrators to send me mail saying "You can use mine!" So I've sent the source to them. Already, it's shown up on two of them. Here are the locations: ftp.apple.com (/dts/mac/sc/mps-disk-v1-0-1.hqx) mac.archive.umich.edu (I don't see it there, yet) ftp.gmd.de (/mac/books/mps-examples-1.0.1.hqx) I don't know how to submit things to sumex-aim, or I'd send it there, too. In case you're curious as to exactly what the source code is I'm talking about, I've appended a summary of the book I posted last June. Scott Knaster and I wish you all the best with this sample code. ---------- The second edition is almost entirely new. As you may recall, the first edition was split into two parts. The first part was a historical background and philosophy section. The second part was a technical section (but, alas, lacking in source code samples). The two sections were divided by a cartoon showing how the event manager worked. In the new edition, the book is still split up into two parts. The first section is mostly the same, updated to take out anachronisms (like references to the possibilities of multi-tasking and 32-bit cleanliness) and add current information (like System 7.0 stuff). The cartoon has been replaced by famous Apple About boxes. The first is the unexpurgated MultiFinder 1.0 about box (the official release version had all the good parts bleeped; we've put them back in for the book). The second is the text from the circus parade from one of the preliminary 7.0 release CD's. The second section is where all the new information are. Chapter 3 shows the application skeleton used for all the samples in the book. Rather than duplicate the same code that handles initialization, windows, and menus in each chapter, we show it just once. All the subsequent chapters tweak the skeleton a little and then get on with the interesting stuff. Chapter 4 is on dialogs. It shows how to handle modal, modeless, and movable-modal dialogs. The sample for the modal dialog is based on an idea in the first book, where command-key equivalents are assigned to all the dialogs items. The modeless dialog shows a sample "Find" dialog that uses the 7.0 popupmenu control. The movable-modal dialog shows how to do a progress indicator like the Finder's. Chapter 5 talks about QuickDraw. It starts off a lot like the QuickDraw chapter of the first edition, but then delves a little more into current color issues. The second half of the chapter implements an idea put forth in the first edition, where offscreen buffers are used to save the contents of background windows when a dialog is displayed, and then used to restore the contents of those windows when the dialog is dismissed. Chapter 6 deals more with QuickDraw and shows how to do mouse tracking. The sample program reads in a MacPaint picture. The user can then use the mouse to etch out a rectangular selection that does the "marching ants" animation. The selection can then be clicked on and dragged around. Offscreen buffers are used for this, too. Chapter 7 gets into window management. We show how to implement Tile Windows and Stack Windows menu items, and show how to do a Window menu that keeps track of all the open windows. The algorithms for tiling and stacking work across multiple monitors. Chapter 8 delves into the File Manager. A simple program is shown that allows the user to select a file (using Standard File), and target directory (again, using Standard File) and then copies the file to the destination in small chunks. The reader is encouraged to integrate the copy routine with the progress indicator shown in Chapter 4. Chapter 9 develops different kinds of standalone code. The first sample is a simple INIT that beeps at startup. Then a more realistic INIT is given that causes a command-key sequence to zoom the frontmost window (I actually use this INIT in my everyday work). Next, we show how to implement an LDEF that draws icons and grays out disabled items. Finally, we give the source code to a windoid WDEF (the kind of window usually associated with floating windows). Note that we don't actually show how to do floating windows (bummer). Chapter 10 is a collection of little routines that aren't large enough to qualify for chapters of their own. We show how THINK programmers can do spinning cursors based on MPW's 'acur' resources. We even show how such animation can be done an interrupt time (even though I personally don't approve of the practice). We show how applications can check for Command-Period without calling WaitNextEvent, and how to implement a password-entry dialog box with the little bullet characters. We also show how to hide the menubar. In summary, chapters 1 and 2 are a lot like the first edition. Chapters 4, 5, and 7 are partially based on information and ideas in the first edition. The remaining chapters (3, 6, 8, 9, and 10) are totally new. If you get the second edition, keep the first edition handy, because there's a lot of material we threw away (like a lot of stuff dealing with printing and the Finder desktop database). All of the chapters include complete source code (in THINK C) to all of the interesting stuff we talk about. Two people have complained about our not including and resource dumps, but all of the resources we use are straightforward enough that we didn't want to fill up pages and pages with blocks of data (Like icons. I used to hate that about the old MacTutor -- I hope the new MacTutor is better). Besides, we used ResEdit exclusively, and there were no .r files.

Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. Calc is useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototyped and as a mathematical research tool. The calc language is a C-like language. The language includes commands such as variable declarations, expressions, tests, labels, loops, file operations, function calls. These commands are very similar to their counterparts in C. A rich set of builtin functions is provided. Fundamental builtin data types include integers, real numbers, rational numbers, complex numbers and strings. By use of an object, one may define an arbitrarily complex data types. One may define how such objects behave a wide range of operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, negation, squaring, modulus, rounding, exponentiation, equality, comparison, printing and so on.

ChangeTypeCreator.c Change the file type and creator of any file dropped onto this program. Prompts for the file type and creator, and changes all files dropped at the same time to the same type and creator. Written by Brian Bechtel, based on code by Juri Munkki Feel free to use the code in your programs. Modified by Pete R. Jemian, Late-Nite(tm) Software Option was added to convert TEXT files to the chosen system of EOL (end-of-line) characters. Note that EOLs -on DOS files are <CR><LF> (VAX also uses this EOL format) -on Mac files are <CR> -on UNIX files are <LF> If you aren't bothered by this, that's just great. If you are, this little hack will surely help. Very useful for moving TEXT files between DOS, Mac, and UNIX machines by diskNet (copy file onto disk, remove disk, sneaker it to other machine, ...). BTW: Set the application's size to that of the largest file that you expect to convert EOLs. The EOLconvert code reads the entire file into memory at one time, then does the conversion as the file is re-written. WARNING: If you don't know what you are doing, things *could* get pretty fouled up. They might not. UNDO is not supported. See the source code to determine *exactly* what is done. The problem that *could* occur is that you mistakenly select a non-TEXT file along with other TEXT files and convert them all to type TEXT *and* convert the EOL characters to the selection of your choice. That's the danger. Don't do it. You are unprotected against goofball errors like this. Development-Source

File Dropper 1.1b3 dev/src/file-dropper-11b3-c.hqx Troy Anderson 30 Aug 1993 THINK C 6.0 library. Implements an application for batch operations. File Dropper 1.1b3 Written by Troy Anderson Copyright (c) 1992-1993, Troy Anderson; All Rights Reserved What Is This Thing? File Dropper is a THINK C 6.0 library that implements an application that you can drop files or folders onto to do batch operations on. It handles the getting of the AppleEvents if running under System 7, the main event loop, and the menus. You need only write the code that acts on the individual files. New Features in 1.1A73 o Fixed a bug so that when you drop a folder onto your File Dropper application, all the files inside are processed in stead of just the first one. 20 New with version 1.1b2: o Built "File DropperB9" in THINK C 6.0 o The cursor is NOT reset to an arrow after each call to SetStatusPercentage. o If you return FALSE from the eStartup, eSFInitialize, or eAEInitialize messages, File Dropper will send you an eQuitting message and quit the application. o If you return FALSE from the eValidate message, File Dropper will skip any remaining files in the current batch. o If you return FALSE from an eDispose message, File Dropper will send you an eQuitting message and quit the application. Returning TRUE from an eDispose message will cause File Dropper to continue running. This behavior does NOT depend upon which of eSFInitialize or eAEInitialize was sent to you. o If you return TRUE from an eQuitting message, the File Dropper quits. On the other hand, if you return FALSE from an eQuitting message, File Dropper will quit. o If you want the source code to File Dropper, send me money (see the end of this document). o Added an eUserCancelled message for when the user clicks Cancel in the status box. o Added an eIdle message. o Added the ChangeStatusMessage function that lets you change the message in the status dialog on the fly, during your processing of the file. o Changed some things internally, so you can NOT call InstallCustomGetFSSpecFunc, InstallCustomFileFilterFunc, or InstallCustomDialogHookFunc from an eSFInitialize or eAEInitialize message any more, just from eStartup. o Fixed a bug in the ErrorAlert function so that text relating to the error as well as the word "Error." show up in the dialog. o Made it simpler to support AboutBox functionality. You just put text in STR# resource 129, and it will be displayed in the warp stars. To enable this feature, return TRUE from the eDoAboutBox message. New with version 1.1b1: o You specify if you want the status dialog displayed while you are working on the file. Progress bar like Finder 7's that you update by specifying how far you are along with a percentage (0 - 100). You specify if you want this, too. Development-Source

FloatWin Source dev/src/floating-windows-pas.hqx Francois Pottier 1 Jul 1993 THINK Pascal 4 routines to handle floating windows in a Pascal program. Hi archiver! This is a small set of THINK Pascal 4 routines to handle floating windows in a Pascal program. A few days back I looked on several ftp sites for such code snippets. All I found was a C library by Patrick Doane. I translated it to THINK Pascal and I also made it much shorter and clearer (IMHO). Since there is no Pascal source code out there, I thought I'd submit to the archives. This code is public domain. Whoever finds it useful may use it.

Launch Creator Source dev/src/launch-creator-c.hqx Kiselyov Oleg 3 Nov 1993 Launches an application-creator when given a file name. This is a simple program that, given a file name, launches an application-creator and has it handle the file. If the file is an application, it is launched itself. The net result is exactly the same as if the user had double-clicked on the file. Synopsis void open_selection(const char * full_path_name) Where the 'full_path_name' tells the full path name of the file that should be "double-clicked". Though, a relative path name would do, too. The present program achieves the magic by sending an 'Open Selection' event to the Finder. It is significantly based on the FinderEvents stack by Jon Pugh and Apple Computer, Inc.

Little C Source dev/src/little-c.hqx T. S. Yang 5 Oct 1993 Think C 6.01 version of Little_C -- a subset C interpreter. This is the Think C 6.01 version of Little_C -- a subset C interpreter by Herbert Schildt. Little C is a C interpreter that can execute a subset of K&R ANSI C programming language. ANSI C is a robust and powerful programming language, but the Little C interpreter only implements a limited range of features. These include: parameterized functions with local variables; recursion; if statement; do-while, while, and for loops; integer and character variables; global variables; integer, character, and string constraints; return statement; several library functions; several operators; functions returning integers; and comments. A recursive-descent parser is used to implement the C interpreter. Details of the development, coding, and functionality of the C interpreter are described in Schildt, Herbert. Building your own C interpreter. Dr. Dobb's Journal of Software Tools v14, n8 (August, 1989):38 (16 pages). The original source code can be obtained by anonymous ftp from sites with ddjmag archive, e.g. oakland.oak.edu. Enjoy. T. S. Yang Development-Source
Mac Speech Source dev/src/mac-speech-p.txt PAUL M SHELDON, Alan Coopersmith 24 Aug 1993 C to pascal code translation of speech manager routine calls. I have little experience in C and was grateful for the posting, in C, of speech manager routine calls. It gave me an opportunity to make a simple exercise to value learning C in the future by the book. In the following, I paste my C to pascal code translation of a submission of a quick hack on this archive by Alan Coopersmith as /info-mac/dev/mac-speech-01.hqx. It was a lot of fun to figure this simple translation with a kid I mentor and then go on late into the night to make the compiling linking and execution work. I tried to comment the code with some of my hard won understanding. Perhaps this brief segment will improve others courage as it has mine. I had a lot of psychological inertia to get moving into enthusiastic momentum. I look forward to translating Alexander W. Kourakos' C demo with Paul Traue, my mentor-kid. Povl H. Pedersen has given me some reassurance. Notice what I am trying to say is this isn't much of a boast for me, just a sense of remarkable joy that I can hook into new system extensions from apple with pinterfaces.

MacStarter Source dev/src/mac-starter-p.hqx David Eck 14 Dec 1993 Macintosh application shell for writing programs with THINK Pascal 4.0. MacStarter_Pascal: A Macintosh application shell for writing small-to-moderate programs with THINK Pascal 4.0, AND including "expression.p", which provides facilities for parsing and evaluating mathematical expressions such as "x~2+7" or "rate * sin(omega)". MacStarter_Pascal uses the object-oriented features of THINK Pascal to implement windows with the standard Macintosh behavior. The windows can contain "decorations" such as buttons and text-input boxes. A lot of comments are included in the source files, and the source code for several simple applications is included. The expression-manipulation unit, "expression.p" can be used separately from the rest of the shell; one of the sample applications shows how this unit can be used for graphing functions. Note that MacStarter_Pascal is similar to, but more sophisticated than, MacStarter_C (for use with THINK C), which I have distributed previously. This application shell is appropriate for programs that don't need all the power and complexity of the THINK Class Library. It is provided free-of-charge and royality-free, and it can be freely distributed provided no charge is made for it. (I also hereby give my permission for it to be distributed on the info-mac CD ROM.) This is a binhexed self-extracting archive. David Eck Development-Source

Synchronous posting means that the posting function does not return until the notification message is displayed and the user dismisses it. In asynchronous mode, the posting function returns as soon as the message is queued into the notification queue (but not yet displayed!). The functions use the Notification Manager and the EventManager (via function sleep() defined elsewhere in the standard env to relinquish the CPU control while sleeping). Circular queue is used to store asynchronous notification requests. Development-Source

Speech Unit Source dev/src/speech-unit-p.hqx PAUL M SHELDON 3 Sep 1993 Interface and implementation of a speech unit. I didn't have help in c translation to pascal from the kid I mentor, PJ Traue, this time, so there are definite guesses in pascal meaning of c. In this archived submission are four mpw text files. I have included interface and implementation of the speech unit, my old code segment that doesn't use the unit and a new code segment which does. I noted that the new code segment that uses the unit must also have a uses speech or it won't know the meaning of a type, SpeechChannel. That's odd, since I tried not having uses all the way up the hierarchy of calling routines and the object oriented pascal language only caught me there. I am curious as to when I can get away with not using uses items; I am curious as to how much is, as they say in modula language, hidden import. This speech unit works, but may have mistakes in particular in the Gestalt manager call pascal interpretation of the c code written up in the apple docviewer document on speech manager. Maybe the kid I mentor will correct my translation. Maybe someone out there will. I also have Halts to handle os errors. I think that is sort of lame, because I don't insure that all objects are free'd with such a handling. Someone more savvy than could improve on this, for sure. I did several experiments with the unit. You will see my earlier (working) experiments commented out. I wanted to see what a Boris with a Brenda echo would sound like. It sounded like an incompetant translator, not like an echo. There was a time delay, even when I didn't put it there from the speech processing. A very short time for the Brenda echo, but noticeable. If you use the same speaker object to speak concurrently, it cuts its own speech off after an interceded delay. Evidentally, to have concurrent speech, your program must seize a different channel. What you can do with this: With this as a unit in a text editor, you should be able to select things you want to have the mac speak. When you use this unit, you may discover a greater wisdom that I found making it and improve upon it. For your courage, before I tried making this primative thing, I thought it would take more than twice as long as it did. It didn't, even though I was exhausted from other things I did that day! With this submission, you can get the feel of a boundary on how long it takes pascal procedural code to be turned into a prototype unit for an object. Development-Source

Tools Plus Library 2.1 dev/src/tools-plus-lib-21.hqx Wayne K. Walrath 22 Nov 1993 Library of routines that simplifies programming a Macintosh computer. Tools Plus is a library of routines that simplifies programming an Apple Macintosh computer, and significantly reduces the time it takes to write and debug a program. With Tools Plus, you program at a much higher level when creating, maintaining, and working with a user-interface, so you can develop applications more easily more quickly with less source code with fewer bugs and with more features than if you use ordinary C or Pascal. Tools Plus libraries can be used by programmers developing applications in THINK C or THINK Pascal. With Tools Plus, you can create and maintain a user-interface more easily, without having to create elements yourself. Event handling is dramatically simplified, and most of the processes that define a Mac-standard interface are performed automatically. Registered users get free support and a comprehensive, illustrated 180-page user manual, and may distribute programs created with Tools Plus royalty-free. Tools Plus performs seamlessly on Macintoshes runningI System 5 (Finder or MultiFinder) System 6 (Finder or MultiFinder) System 7 This fully featured copy of Tools Plus is distributed at no cost as Shareware. The purpose of this is to allow potential users to EVALUATE the software before buying it. There are, however, terms and conditions to using this product, even for the purpose of evaluation.

AliasZoo 2.0.2 disk/alias-zoo-202.hqx Cliff McCollum 10 Jul 1993 Utility to locate, verify, repair, rename, and re-connect alias files. AliasZoo is a utility to locate, verify, repair, rename, and re-connect alias files on any of your mounted volumes. This version is a complete re-write of the original AliasZoo and includes a number of new features: - The Find and Resolve functions have been seperated. This allows you to quickly locate and view all the alias files on a drive without having to wait for them to be resolved (resolving checks that they still points to something valid). - Alias files that have been orphaned (they no longer point to their target file) can be automatically reconnected by AliasZoo 2.0. It will search for any file with a matchineg file/creator type and a matching creation date - on ANY mounted drive. If such a file is found, it will be automatically re-connected. - Alias files can now be renamed from within AliasZoo. - The 'Get Info' dialog in AliasZoo now displays the icon of the target file (in color where possible). - The interface has been completely reworked. The main window is now resizable, and the status of alias files are indicated by small icons (rather than changing the line's color - which didn't work too well on grayscale monitors). - You can choose whether or not AliasZoo will resolve aliases to local, removable, or network volumes independant of one another. - When resolving alias files to non-local volumes, AliasZoo will not unmount the volume until it absolutely has to. This prevents you from having to enter your password each time a network alias is resolved. - Better feedback is given while alias files are being resolved. - And many other new features, changes, and abilities. AliasZoo requires System 7, is 32-bit clean, supports the required AE's, and runs fine on every Mac I have been able to test it on (SE, LC, CI, Powerbook, Quadra 700-950). This archive includes the application itself, and a ReadMe document that explains more about AliasZoo. Version 2.0.2 fixes the following bugs: - The divide-by-zero error no longer occurs when volumes with no alias files are selected. - The help dialog appears properly on Color Quickdraw equipped machines with B&W monitors (powerbook, SE/30s, etc). - The 'Smart' unmounting of network volumes has been made smarter. Things should work better now for users with more than 10 volumes mounted during resolve scans. Shareware. $15.

"attributes" is a handy file utility that allows easy access to the 'creator', 'owner', 'stationary', 'locked', and other fields of information kept by the finder about each file... with a simple drag-n-drop interface... as i understand the sumex file layout, attributes seems like something that would go in either "/info-mac/disk" or "/info-mac/util"... i think that john would like to know where it ends up, so that he can tell internet users he knows... so he would probably appreciate a quick note from you confirming the posting and describing where it has been put... if that is possible, please send me a cc: so that i know he has that information... thanks, mark Mark O'Dell CalTech 216-76 Pasadena, CA 91125 818-395-2863 emark@cns.caltech.edu emark@starbase1.caltech.edu (only if problems are encountered w/ .cns.) <<<<<< Attached TEXT file follows >>>>>> What Is Attributes ? Attributes is a flexible program designed to alter file information using a drag-and-drop interface. Drag a set of file / folder / disk icons onto this program's icon and Attributes will change the file information according to user specification. This function only works on files. Dropping folders or disks onto Attributes will modify the information of the contents of the folders or disks. Information that can be modified includes date and time of file creation / last modification, creator, file type, invisibility, and lock / unlock attributes. The user can operate on all files or files that matching specified criteria (such as creator, file type, etc.) while in the batch mode. If only a single file is dropped on the Attributes icon, it's characteristics can be modified interactively. This program is quite useful for a variety of circumstances: * toggling Teach Text documents from read only to editable * transferring text files between the Mac and IBM PCs (permits definition of a program to launch [creator] when double clicking on the file from the Finder) * altering the creation and modification dates and times of groups of files (useful for programmers when releasing new versions of software and support files) * hiding files in the Finder * locking groups of files to prevent them from being altered or deleted accidentally * interactive editing of a file's characteristics * others limited only by the imagination Disk

ChangeCreatorType 1.5 disk/change-creator-type-15.hqx Pete R. Jemian, Brian Bechtel, Juri Munkki 27 Sep 1993 Changes the file type and creator of any file dropped onto it. ChangeTypeCreator.c Change the file type and creator of any file dropped onto this program. Prompts for the file type and creator, and changes all files dropped at the same time to the same type and creator. Written by Brian Bechtel, based on code by Juri Munkki Feel free to use the code in your programs. Modified by Pete R. Jemian, Late-Nite(tm) Software Option was added to convert TEXT files to the chosen system of EOL (end-of-line) characters. Note that EOLs on DOS files are <CR><LF> (VAX also uses this EOL format) on Mac files are <CR> on UNIX files are <LF> If you aren't bothered by this, that's just great. If you are, this little hack will surely help. Very useful for moving TEXT files between DOS, Mac, and UNIX machines by diskNet (copy file onto disk, remove disk, sneaker it to other machine, ...). BTW: Set the application's size to that of the largest file that you expect to convert EOLs. The EOLconvert code reads the entire file into memory at one time, then does the conversion as the file is re-written. WARNING: If you don't know what you are doing, things *could* get pretty fouled up. They might not. UNDO is not supported. See the source code to determine *exactly* what is done. The problem that *could* occur is that you mistakenly select a non-TEXT file along with other TEXT files and convert them all to type TEXT *and* convert the EOL characters to the selection of your choice. That's the danger. Don't do it. You are unprotected against goofball errors like this. Disk
ChunkJoiner 1.0.4 disk/chunk-joiner-104.hqx Alex Rodella 19 Nov 1993 Allows joining any number of files in one chunk. ChunkJoiner is a small utility that lets you join (concatenate) any number of files in a single chunk. To use it, simply select the files you want to join, and drag&drop them onto ChunkJoiner. You will be asked the "type" and "creator" for the newly created file. You will be also asked for the name of the application which can open the resulting file; I have added this because the Finder 7.x can read this name and show it to the user if the application is not present. ChunkJoiner works on any Macintosh, but it **requires** System 7 or later. Life is easier with a drag&drop interface. New in 1.0.4: The registration form greedily asked for $10 instead of $5; various minor fixes. It seems that the new Sound Manager and/or the Speech Manager want too much stack space, so that sound playing often failed. I increased my stack requirements, even if I think this is a bug in the Apple Managers. Enjoy yourself and remember the $5 shareware fee! Fabrizio Oddone Disk

DART 1.5.3 disk/dart-153.hqx Michael Twitty 29 Sep 1993 Disk Archive/Retrieval Tool application. DART (Disk Archive/Retrieval Tool) is an application that enables you to duplicate Macintosh, Lisa, Apple II, or MS-DOS disks, save disk images, and create disks from image files. DART 1.5 can read disk image files in DART, DiskMaker, or Disk Copy format. DART 1.5 image files are compressed, approaching a reduction in size comparable to that obtained by using a commercial compression utility. DART 1.5 is System 7.0 "savvy", and implements a custom Apple event mechanism to automate the conversion of older DART or Disk Copy files to 1.5 format. The conversion process can be run by "remote control" (even across a network!) using the accompanying HyperCard stack. (For more information, please refer to the DART User Manual.) ................................................................................ Features o Data compression: more disk images can be archived in the same amount of space. o Data checksumming for reliable disk duplication. o Can read Disk Copy image files. o Requires only 224K of RAM to run. o Stack utility enables you to batch-convert DART 1.4 or Disk Copy files. o Apple events support ("required" AE suite and custom 'cnvt' event.) o System 7 "drag-and-drop" disk image creation. o 32-bit clean. o A/UX compatible. o Nifty color icons and balloon help. ................................................................................ What's New in version 1.5.3 o Compatibility with new Macintosh Quadra 840av and Centris 660av machines. o Compatibility with Apple Event Manager 1.0.1 (a component of AppleScript). ................................................................................ What's New in version 1.5.2 o Compatibility with new Macintosh Quadra 800 and Centris machines. o Under certain circumstances, it was possible for DART to open a corrupted Disk Copy file and create an identically corrupted disk (or image file) from it. Checksums on source disk images are now verified correctly, and DART will always display a warning message if the expected and actual checksum values don't match. (Note that while a damaged Disk Copy file can no longer be converted to DART format, it's still possible to make a disk from it and potentially salvage the data on that disk.) o Fixed a minor (but annoying) display glitch in "Multiple Copies" mode where a portion of the Status message would sometimes be "hidden" underneath the progress bar. ................................................................................ What's New in version 1.5.1 o Compatibility with A/UX 3.0. o Under System 7, you can now drop a floppy disk onto DART to create an image file. o The default filename in Save dialogs is now filled in with the volume name of the source disk (if a source has been selected.) o Volumes can now be mounted in the Finder when DART is running in the background. o Fixed a bug which could occasionally cause a bus error on certain machines. The error would occur either immediately on launch, or after the about box was dismissed. o Fixed a bug which could cause DART to refuse to format a blank 1.4M floppy disk (or a 1.4M floppy formatted as 800K) when "Format Disk" was checked.

Disk Charmer 2.1.1 disk/disk-charmer-211.hqx Alex Rodella 10 Nov 1993 Conveniently initializes (or verify) floppy disks. Disk Charmer 2.1.x is a neat utility that lets you conveniently initialize (or verify) floppy disks. It _requires_ at least System 7 to run. It has a nice, modeless interface. Help Balloons are everywhere. It supports drag&drop (with the required Apple Events). It is able to create larger disks: you gain 8.5K on a 800K disk,18.5K on a HD disk (if you keep one large file filling the disk, such as a Compact Pro segment). It is the first disk formatter supporting the handy "Undo" feature we all know and love. It is the first disk formatter able to initialize and verify disks (hold your breath) **in background**. To access this feature, you need the Thread Manager Extension from Apple Computer. It has even more features... but I am sure you are already impressed! New from version 2.1: A wonderful and subtle bug lurked in the code I wrote to allow the marvelous additions in 2.1. This could cause subtle hangs while Disk Charmer was creating the disk catalog. New from version 2.0.8 (the archives never saw 2.0.8, I think): Lets you choose whether to lock out bad sectors or not; now the first part of the bad sectors search phase can execute concurrently with other applications, provided that you have the Thread Manager installed. New from version 2.0.7: Alerts if you try using a floppy disk with open files on it; fixed a problem with the about box, and its incompatibility with AutoMenus II; no more pauses between initializing and verifying (this only occurred on some Mac models and when the Thread Manager was not installed); a nifty registration form; and other fixes (see the documentation for more info).

Emergency Disk Maker disk/emergency-disk-maker.hqx Brian R. Gaeke 8 Aug 1993 Allows use of Finder on a boot disk. If you are interested in making an emergency startup disk, here's something that may help. This small util munges the attributes on a copy of ShortFinder so that you can use it as a Finder for a boot disk. Specifically, it changes the name to Finder, the Creator to MACS and the Type to FNDR. I think it might do some other stuff too... it's been a while since I wrote this thing. I thought I sent it to Sumex too, but I guess I didn't... btw-- requires system 7 and shortfinder 1.x (the latter is available on Sumex, the former (7.0.1) is available on ftp.apple.com) this has not been tested on 7.1, 'cause I don't choose to use it. if you have 7.1 and use either this or shortfinder, maybe drop me a line if you use them successfully.

Find Stuff1.0.2 disk/find-stuff-102.hqx David Sugar 2 Nov 1993 Searches for files. This is version 1.0.2 of Find Stuff. It fixes some bugs in the previous release of Find Stuff and it should replace the previous version. The bugs that wre fixed are: Find Stuff now works on non-color quickdraw machines. When searching by name if you match beginning or end of the name it works You can specify types and creators with a '^' in the name. Minor user interface modifications Find Stuff does require System 7.0 to run and it looks better on machines with color quickdraw but it will work fine with out it. Find Stuff is a program which will search for you files. It will search most types of media (it works fine on local hard drives, floppy disks and real AFP voluems) You can search for files type partial file name, label, type creator, date created and date modified.

FlameFile 1.38 disk/flame-file-138.hqx Josh Goldfoot 18 Sep 1993 Complete delete utility. FlameFile v1.38 by Josh Goldfoot FlameFile is a freeware complete-delete program; drag your files or folders onto the FlameFile icon, and they will be erased in a way that no one can ever get access to them again. No other complete-delete utility, commercial or freeware, offers as much: Drag-and-Drop convenience, a customizable warning box, optional DOD specifications overwrite, a free space disk wipe, options to disguise the file's name, size, type, and creation/modification dates, even AppleScript support and the ability to play a sound after deleting files.

Folder Icon Cleaner 1.1 disk/folder-icon-cleaner-11.hqx Alex Rodella 19 Nov 1993 Gets rid of custom icons. Folder Icon Cleaner is a small utility that lets you get rid correctly of those space and time wasting custom icons, sticked right there on your folders. The Finder keeps every folder icon in a separate hidden file. The known versions of the Finder (7.0, 7.0.1, 7.1) do not delete this file when removing a custom folder icon. They only delete the icon resources from the file. Note that no other information is kept into these “Icon” files. Folder Icon Cleaner correctly removes the icon by deleting the file (and by updating the “Use custom icon” attribute of the folder). No data is lost, you only gain a little more free space on your disk. You can even erase every custom folder icon on your disk. Folder Icon Cleaner can only be used under System 7 or later; however, it is rather useless on a System 6-or-older Macintosh. Life is easier with a drag&drop interface. New in 1.1: Fixed all the problems common with ChunkJoiner. Redesigned the dialog appearing when you drag&drop a disk. No more asks for confirmation if the folder you dropped has no custom icon. Enjoy yourself and remember the shareware fee! Fabrizio Oddone Disk
Garbage Collector 0.1 disk/garbage-collector-01.hqx Roy Wood 9 Dec 1993 Restores a files and folders to a set location and name. Here is Garbage Collector 0.1, a utility program which will be useful to those of use fated to looking after Macintoshes that are used, misused, and abused by many people. In my case, it's used to help clean junk off the hard drives on the Macs in the library at the school where I teach. The basic idea is that this program allows you to create a master map of what the hard drive is *supposed* to look like, then use this map to periodically restore the drive to that ideal condition, more or less. When you use Garbage Collector to restore a drive, it scans all files and folders, restoring moved files/folders to their original location, restoring the names of renamed files/folders, and moving unrecognized files to a common directory at the root level of the drive. The online help screen describes all that and more.... The program seems to work okay so far, though I can't promise that there isn't a big in it that will eventually reformat or scramble the drive contents irrevocably. That's why I don't mind using on the school's machines but not my own..... :) Using this program is a lot easier than manually scanning files and folders to find junk the students have put there.... If there is sufficient interest, I'll dress up the atrocious user interface and add some bells and whistles. -Roy Wood (rrwood@io.org) Disk

Jon's Commands1.0a6 disk/finder-commands-10a6-as.hqx Jon Pugh 30 Aug 1993 Three commands for AppleScript: deleteFile, moveFile and renameFile. I've read a bit of whining on the net about AppleScript and the Finder's inability to rename and delete files, so I thought I would do something about that. Here are three new commands for AppleScript; deleteFile, moveFile and renameFile. This is version 1.0a6 of Jon's Commands. More commands will be added later as time permits and we'll climb up the curve towards beta as features are added. These commands are free for noncommercial use. Contact me for a cheap commercial licence. Also, contact me if you have bugs to report or suggestions for features. My plans include conversions of a large number of my XCMDs. Watch for updates.

List File 1.0 disk/list-files-10.hqx J. Rossi 19 Nov 1993 Creates text catalogs of any folder or disk. List Files is a very straightforward utility that creates text catalogs of any folder or disk you drag on it. The text file can be edited and saved for later use (you'll be able to read or print it with any word processor or text editor). Text catalogs are a very convenient way to keep track of unmounted volumes (like floppies or SyQuest's) because they are small, easy to read and easy to search. List Files takes full advantage of System 7, but it will also run on older systems (the minimum version required is 4.2). Just use the "OpenI" menu item instead of System 7's drag & drop method.

MacLibrarian 1.6.3 disk/mac-librarian-163.hqx J. Rossi 19 Nov 1993 Disk management and a labeling program. MacLibrarian is a disk management and a disk labeling program.

If you want to add pictures to your labels then simply define the area and paste the picture into the area. Full doc included. I'm not the author. Disk
PowerScan 2.0 disk/power-scan-20.hqx Jonas Wallden 13 Oct 1993 Scans disks and can save, print, filter, find duplicate files . Dear Netters, This is version 2.0 of my shareware application PowerScan. It is used to scan disks and can save, print, filter, find duplicate files and more. This version is a complete rewrite from scratch with *many* new features: * Support for Apple's Thread Manager! Yes, PowerScan will now run several scan and find duplicates operations concurrently, even when in background. Thread Manager is not included in the archive so you'll have to download it separately from e.g. ftp.apple.com. Highly recommended! * Greatly improved filtering. In addition to the type and creator filters available in version 1.0, this version also handles filename, size, creation and modification dates in any combination. Filter components can be grouped. * Support for external plug-in modules. Filters can be installed just by dropping them in a folder. Also supports external pre-processors such as the included Compact Pro archive scanner. A StuffIt preprocessor is in the works. * All new user interface. Select font and size for display and printing, resizable columns, new floating palette where most settings can be accessed. * Saving and printing. PowerScan can now save and open directory listings. Print options include margins, print font and header. On-screen print preview is included. * Many small improvements. Send select/open Apple Events to the Finder, movable dialog boxes, better Search function, apply filter after scanning... PowerScan 2.0 requires System 7 or later. It is shareware $10. Included in the package is a user's manual and parts of the programmer's documentation (i.e. how to write a pre-processor; I will upload the filter docs when they are finished). -- Jonas Wallden -- Internet: jonasw@lysator.liu.se -- AppleLink: sw1369 -- Disk

SetupPartitions 1.0.1 disk/setup-partitions-101.hqx Fabrizio Oddone 16 Dec 1993 Create more than one Macintosh partition on a hard disk . SetupPartitions is a neat utility that lets you create more than one Macintosh partition on a hard disk formatted with Apple HD SC Setup. It _requires_ at least System 6.0.4 to run. SetupPartitions lets you use true, "hard" partitions (as opposed to "soft" partitions). Quadra AV users will particularly appreciate SetupPartitions: in fact, it seems that the only driver exploiting the new awesome hardware capabilities of the AVs is the Apple one. So you want to format with Apple HD SC Setup. Since these days hard disks are pretty huge, you also want to partition. So you want SetupPartitions.

SwitchBack 2.2 disk/switch-back-22.hqx Jeff Home 7 Dec 1993 Synchronises two folders, so that both have a copy . This is the latest version of SwitchBack (version 2.2). Please replace any older versions with this one. What is SwitchBack? SwitchBack is a utility program that synchronises two folders, so that both folders have a copy of the most recent version of their files. The two folders can reside on the same volume, on two different volumes, or indeed on two different computers connected by a network. It has been designed principally for those people with two computers (especially desktop and PowerBook) who need to ensure that they have the most recent version of their documents available to them. It also functions well as a simple backup utility for people with one computer. For example, a folder residing on your main hard disk can be linked to a folder residing on a floppy disk. Because SwitchBack supports the required AppleEvent suite, and is fully AppleScript-aware, you can use AppleScript to execute a series of backups automatically. Programs that permit scheduled execution of scripts could permit you to do a daily backup, and then shut the machine off. This ability is very powerful. What this Archive Contains.

Synchronize! 3.0.1 disk/synchronize-301-demo.hqx Toshiyuki Kumashiro 11 Dec 1993 File synchronization utility. This is Synchronize! 3.0.1, a file synchronization utility. As a way of introducing you to Synchronize!, you may use its basic file synchronization features FREE. Just decompress this Compact Pro archive and try it out. The many advanced features of the program may be demonstrated with folders which contain less than 400K. Unlimited use of the advanced features requires the purchase of the program, which is $29.95. The following is a list of the features of Synchronize! 3.0.1: Features Completely automatic operation. Starts once or periodically at a preset time, or when disks become available. Automatically connects and disconnects AppleTalk Remote Access and file server disks. Hierarchical display of files to be copied, just like the Finder. See the files which will be copied, and the folders they reside in. Synchronize deleted files. When you delete a file from one disk, Synchronize! recognizes that the matching file should also be deleted. Check for conflicts. Synchronize! notifies you when two matching files have both been changed, or a file will overwrite a matching file of another type, and lets you set the action to be taken. Copies files to and from any disk which appears on the desktop. Works with AppleShare, File Sharing, and AppleTalk Remote. Copies bidirectionally (for file synchronization) or in one direction only (for a quick backup, or file distribution to other sites). Creates an exact duplicate of a folder or a hard disk by copying only new or changed files. Copies in the background, at variable speeds. Set the copying speed that best fits your style P slow and unobtrusive, or really fast, faster than the Finder. Log your activities. Review the results of previous synchronizations, including ones done automatically. Options Each document can be customized in its operation with the following options: **Synchronize automatically. Start synchronization at a preset time, when you start or quit the program, or when disks become available. **Make an AppleTalk Remote Access connection, synchronize your files, unmount a file server, and disconnect, all without having to enter passwords. **Show the files and folders to be copied, deleted, or moved in a hierarchical list, with the opportunity to delete files, or remove some files from the list of files to be copied. **Close the document, Quit, or Shut Down when copying is complete. Run Synchronize! as the last thing you do. Let it shut down your Mac when itUs done copying. **Eject disks (or unmount servers) when copying is complete. **Use aliases to include files or folders in a synchronization, even when they reside elsewhere on your disk. **Copy only certain files or folders. Designate files to be copied by full or partial file name, date modified, file type, creator, and label. Include or exclude the contents of any folder. **Copy AutoDoubler files in their compressed form. Copy files compressed by AutoDoubler in their compressed form, saving time and space, even to floppy disks! **Verify files. Verify that floppy disks have been correctly written by reading the information and comparing to what was written. System 7-Savvy Synchronize! supports Balloon Help and Apple Events. It is 32-bit clean, and runs on all Macs which have System 6.0.2 or later, or System 7. Try it out! If you'd like to try Synchronize!, download it from AppleLink. For demonstration, Synchronize! allows basic file synchronization to be used for free; when advanced features are used, copying is limited to folders which contain no more than 400K. On AppleLink, the path is Third Parties:Thrid Parties(P-Z):Qdea. On CompuServe, look for SYNCH.SEA in the Misc. Applications library of the Macintosh Applications Forum. If you purchase Synchronize! by telephone, you receive an serial number which will immediately enable all advanced features of the software you already have. There is no need to wait for the product to be shipped to you. Disk

TrashEmptier disk/trash-emptier.hqx J. Rossi 1 Oct 1993 Delete files and folders without using the Finder's Trash. I'm uploading this for a friend without Internet access. The Compact Pro archive contains both English and French versions This is an abstract of the readme file: 1TrashEmptier is a 'drag and drop' utility that works only if you are running System 7. To use it, you have to drag a disk, file or folder over its icon. Trying to open 1TrashEmptier by double-clicking it will only bring its 'AboutI' box. The application has two purposes: it can selectively empty the Trash of one volume, and it can delete files and folders without using the Finder's Trash. The action of 1TrashEmptier depends on the nature of the icon that you drag over it: disk, folder or file (document or application). All comments are welcome.

I have discovered a way to determine when the disk is spinning in a PowerBook, so now TrashMan will _not_ spin up the disk. This allows PowerBooks to go to sleep properly, and doesn't waste valuable battery juice. Thank you for your support! Dan Walkowski Disk
TypeEdit disk/type-edit.hqx buccolm@CSOS.ORST.EDU (Arg0n) 25 Oct 1993 Automates and speeds-up the process of changing filetypes. This is a newer version of TypeEdit. A copy I sent about a day ago has a major bug. It should be replaced by this. TypeEdit should go in the util directory. TypeEdit was written to automate and speed-up the process of changing filetypes. This is often nessesary to do with file that you have downloaded. TypeEdit has a quick and easy to use interface. Disk
Unlock Folder disk/unlock-folder.hqx Carl B. Constantine 24 Aug 1993 Unlocks folders so they may be completed. Many people have experience problems with "the folder from hell" syndrome. This is a folder that will not delete no matter what you do. This program 'unlocks' this folder so that you can delete it. (incidentally: this works for folders and hard drives that have been 'locked' by using File Sharing on the mac. Not the author, just thought other people would like this too. -- Carl B.

Unmountit 1.0 disk/unmountit-10.hqx John H. DeRosa 10 Jul 1993 CDROM unmounting utility . Here is a tool that I found on AppleLink that solves a problem with ejecting CD-ROMs with Personal AppleShare running. This problem occurs when you try to unmount (trash) a CDROM that won't eject because the CDROM "is being shared". All you need to do is drag the CDROM on top of Unmountit and file sharing will be turned off, the disk ejected and then file sharing turned back on. Simple. This tool was created by Jim Luther from Apple's Developer Technical Support Team and is, "free software and can be freely distributed by individuals." Unmountit is part of a package called FSid that includes other AppleShare tools that 1) set or disable various options supported by the AppleShare control panel and, 2) allow the owner of a Macintosh to start and stop the file server running on that Macintosh from a remote Macintosh. Enjoy, John DeRosa Disk
Verifile 1.0.1 disk/verifile-101.hqx Alessandro Levi Montalcini 18 Sep 1993 Calculates a checksum and a CRC32 on the data of any file. Verifile is a small utility that calculates a checksum and a CRC32 on both the data and resource forks of any file that's 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. Thanks to Howard L. Dyckman (dyckman@nosc.mil) who reported the bug. SHAREWARE - $5 Author: Alessandro Levi Montalcini Disk

Code 9 font/code-9.hqx John Thoo 10 Jul 1993 Monospaced 9 point font. There was a recent request for a good monospaced font for programming. I'm enclosing a binhexed 9pt version of the "Code" font, which I created from another font I found on AppleLink a while back (I added the slashed zero). What makes this font great is that there are NO invisible characters - the characters that are non-printing in most other fonts show up as their ASCII code inside a rectangle. Zeroes are also slashed, and small "l" does not look like numeral "1". This is my default font for MPW files (although I print with courier to avoid sending a bitmap to the LaserWriter). I hope you enjoy it. Please archive as "Code9.hqx". Robert Lenoil Independent Consultant Font-General
Cyber Chicago font/cyber-chicago.hqx John Elmore Jr 18 Sep 1993 High-tech cyberpunk-looking font. Well, here I am working on a HyperCard stack (which might get uploaded to sumex-aim sometime in the next decade) and I decided I wanted a kind of high-tech cyberpunk-looking font. So I dug out a copy of Chicago, hacked it up with ResEdit, and voila! I call it CyberChicago because I couldn't think of anything better. If you like it, enjoy! If not, trash it. It's in the PUBLIC DOMAIN (yes kiddies, you could hack it up even more, call it CyberChicago Deluxe, and I wouldn't care) because I seriously doubt anyone is going to pay money for it. If you like, though, I might appreciate an email message saying so. And if I get really bored I might dig out an old copy of Fontographer and make it a TrueType font. Jay Font-General
Davys Other Dingbats font/davys-other-dingbats.hqx David Rakowski Shishin Yamada 1 Jul 1993 Type 1 pictorial PostScript font. Please Note: I am not the author of this font file. Recently, I uploaded a TrueType conversion of the "DavysRibbons" file, which, for some reason or another lost its original TrueType associated file. Anyways, I received quite a few letters asking for the other fonts of the "Davys" family. Here, anyways, is one of the TrueType and Laser PS files for "DavysOtherDingbats," with all its files. The thanks, credits, and any cash should go to David Rakowski, the AUTHOR of these fonts. I just got asked to post it, since it seems sumex-aim no longer has it. A blurb from the README docs follows. -squish@endor.harvard.edu DavysOtherDingbats is a Type 1 pictorial PostScript font. It will work with Adobe Type Manager, version 1.2 or higher. To install the font, install like any other PostScript font. Both the regular and shift keyboard are filled with pictorial characters. There are no characters on either of the option keyboards. Because the outline font is so large (around 107K), it is advised you use it sparingly with other downloadable fonts. Otherwise your PostScript printer may burp or vomit, due to memory restrictions. Some characters should be used only at sizes of 48 points or greater. DavysOtherDingbats is copyright 1991 by David Rakowski, and is distributed free of charge without request for recompense of any sort. Commercial distribution is, however, strictly prohibited without exception. You may give copies of DavysOtherDingbats to all your friends, providing all four files contained in this archive are included and in the same folder. DavysOtherDingbats comes to you from Bug-Bytes, who do it for the fun of it. Font-General

Handwriting 2.0 font/handwriting-20.hqx Henry S Bloomfield 10 Jul 1993 Font generated from tidied-up traced scans of the author’s handwriting. This font was generated from tidied-up traced scans of my handwriting, and, when printed out doesn't look too unlike real writing. This release of the font is a major advance on the last release - it now contains 211 characters, and is almost a 'complete' font. This archive contains Postscript type 1 and TrueType versions. The font "Handwriting" is "milk-of-human-kindnessware". It is free to be used without permission in any noncommercial work - permission for any other usage must sought from me. It may be distributed freely, so long as the file "Handwriting README" remains unaltered, and is distributed with it. The font "Handwriting" is C 1993 Henry Bloomfield Font-General

SIL IPA 1.2 font/sil-ipa-12.hqx Evan L. Antworth 8 Nov 1993 Set of scalable IPA fonts with Phonetic Alphabet and 1990 Kiel revisions. This is an updated version (1.2) of the SIL IPA fonts and should replace all older versions on all archives. The SIL Encore IPA Fonts are a set of scalable IPA fonts containing the full International Phonetic Alphabet with 1990 Kiel revisions. Three typefaces are included: SIL Doulos (similar to Times), SIL Sophia (similar to Helvetica), and SIL Manuscript (monowidth). Each font contains all the standard IPA discrete characters and non-spacing diacritics as well as some suprasegmental and puncuation marks. Each font comes in both PostScript Type 1 and TrueType formats. Evan.Antworth@sil.org Font-General

Very Small Font font/very-small-font.hqx Poncelet Gene 31 Jul 1993 5 pixel high character font. Here is my favorite eyestrain inducing screen font. This is a very old bitmap font that is the smallest screen display font that I know of. It includes what are called 10 and 20 point sizes but those numbers are in no way related to the real display size which is more like 5 point. The font consists of characters that are 5 pixels high. It is not monospaced. I use it for showing lots and lots of cells in a spreadsheet because it displays much cleaner than a small size of an outline font. Gene_Poncelet@oz.bmd.trw.com Font-General
BlackChanceryXtd font/tt/black-chancery.hqx Juan M. Courcoul 18 Sep 1993 Black Chancery font extended with Fontographer 3.5 . 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). Font-TrueType

ParkHaven font/tt/park-haven.hqx Francis X. "Butch" Mahoney, Jr. 6 Jul 1993 Nice cursive font the author supposedly modeled on his own handwriting. Hello all. This is the second attempt at posting this to sumex-aim. Please Note: I am NOT the author of this font. I have merely used Fontmongger to translate this Postscript font into TrueType form. ParkHaven is a very nice cursive font that the author supposedly modeled on his very neat (IMHO) handwriting. It's very snazzy. One possible problem, that may just be the fault of TrueType conversion, is the lack of a space key. Another font's space may be substituted. I'm not sure about fixing it, because I didn't want to change the author's original version (if you get his permission, I'd be willing to help then). Hope you like the font... And any credits or cash should of course go to him... I just did the conversion for a friend, but I don't keep many fonts around on my powerbook. -squish@endor.harvard.edu A shortened (and slightly edited) cutout of the author's blurb follows: Hello Font Lover, Previously, I had become very discouraged by distributing my work on CompuServe. A couple of bad experiences made it difficult for me to continue. However, recently I have received some recognition (Thank you Richard Eckhardt), and it has made me rethink my position. The economy is bad in Louisiana and I am not doing well. You may have noticed the address change. I cannot afford the time on CompuServe except for uploading. Also, my troubles are your gain for neither can I afford to do any other kind of marketing for my work other than ShareWare (they would cost at least twice as much or more). And just having me "sit on these faces" (pun intended) is not doing any good for myself or anyone else. The fee for this typeface is $15 as is, check or money order (preferred). Or send $20 and a disk and a list of the sizes of the bitmaps you would like to have and I will try to oblige (within reason...) PLEASE PAY ME... Thank you. Francis X.

Vtopia 1.1 font/tt/vtopia-11.hqx James Do 5 Oct 1993 TrueType font for Vietnamese text processing and desktop publishing. >From the README introduction: ---------------------------- This package contains the TrueType font "Vtopia" for Vietnamese text processing and desktop publishing on a Macintosh computer. It can be used by itself or with other fonts that are already installed. Vtopia(^tm) comes in four styles -- Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic -- and is based on Adobe Systems' Utopia(^tm) font, designed by Robert Slimbach and available from Adobe Systems and in the Free Software Foundation's GNU distribution. This package also contains the keyboard layout "VN 2", to enable typing Vietnamese characters into the computer. This keyboard layout coexists with others on your system.

BitFont 1.0 font/util/bit-font-10.hqx Thomas R. Blake 15 Dec 1993 Font developing tool. Folks, Recently, I asked about how to create BitMap fonts from outline fonts. Many individuals pointed me to BitFont, which was in the archives at one time, but seems to have disappeared. Please find enclosed BitFont 1.0, (I believe that there is a more recent copy, but was unable to find it). BitFont is a PD program which will create BitMap fonts from outline Fonts. It's not magic, you'll need to have the appropriate software installed. (If you want to make BitMaps of TrueType fonts, you'll have to have TrueType installed, if you want to make BitMaps of Type 1 fonts, you'll have to have ATM installed.) However, if you're constanly waiting for 17 point, or if you have a user who is still using System 5, and they need to have BitMap fonts of some PD outline font, BitFont seems to do the job quite nicely.

Font Clerk 5.0 font/util/font-clerk-50.hqx Robert T Chancellor 29 Oct 1993 Font reporting/conversion utility. Font Clerk is a font reporting/conversion utility. It contains several report formats for things such as point sizes, key sequences for special characters, sample text, and full character sets. You may select one or many fonts at once for reporting purposes. In addition to reports, Font Clerk provides you with improtant information about the fonts installed in your system. You can easily find out whether any given font is monospaces or proportional. You may also find which fonts are TrueType, Type I and screen fonts. Font Clerk allows you to convert between Macintosh and Windows TrueType font formats. Conversion both ways is supported. You may also create empty suitcases for organizing your fonts. I have attempted to listen to everyone who has sent suggestions to me. Many of these suggestions have been implemented in this version. I feel this version is more robust and solid than previous versions. New features ------------------------------------------ [1] TrueType conversion works both ways [2] Completely rewritten print code with new Report Generator dialog [3] New report formats [4] Allows one font or font suitcase to be opened and added to the installed font list [5] Improved TrueType handling [6] Online help [7] Character set report can be printed in a range of point sizes [8] Character set window allows you to find a key sequence for any desired character [9] View Font window allows you to view any font in a range of point sizes and styles [10] New display tells you is a font is monospaced or proportional [11] Improved speed in most functions Bug Fixes -------------- [1] All known printing bugs have been fixed [2] No more crashes on certain models when running applications in background Font Clerk will run on any Macintosh running system 6.05 or later. It supports all monitor sizes in both color and black & white. Administrator: Please remove Font Clerk 4.1 and replace it with this version. Font-Utilities
Font Tuner for System 7.1 font/util/font-tuner-sys71.hqx Darin Takemoto 9 Jul 1993 Unloads the present font before another one can be loaded. This is Font Tuner, an application that fixes a bug in the System file of System 7.1. This is from the "Read Me": When System 7.1 starts up, before any extensions load, it looks at all of the fonts in the Fonts folder. As it's looking at them, it loads each font into memory one at a time. I guess it's looking inside and building its list of available fonts and doing whatever other magic it does. The problem is that on some Macs it forgets to unload the font before it loads the next one. The result is that every font on your Mac is loaded and locked down forever and ever, taking up lots of memory that is supposed to be reused by applications. How much memory? Anywhere from about 3K to 40K per font, depending on the font. If you have lots of fonts installed on your Mac, this adds up. I have about 40 font packages (245 items) in my Fonts folder, and this eats up about 1.5 megs. Thats a meg and a half that could be used to run Quark XPress or MS Word. You should only use this if you have System 7.1. Also keep in mind that only some Macs are affected by this bug. It shouldn't damage Macs not affected by the bug. You should probably turn off antivirus software while this is running. And the fix may take a few minutes: don't turn off your Mac, just let the program do its job. I am not the author.

FontPrinter 3.0 font/util/font-printer-30.hqx Mark Anderson 12 Jul 1993 Produces font sample sheets quickly and easily. FontPrinter is a program designed to produce font sample sheets quickly and easily. It allows several configuration options that let you tailor the output to your own needs. This version is the product of both my own ideas and those from users of previous versions. If you can think of any other things that you would like to see implemented, don't hesitate to send me some e-mail. Changes in FontPrinter 3.0: -------------------------- * Completely rewritten using THINK C rather than THINK Pascal * Preferences file is automatically created in the Preferences folder the first time FontPrinter is launched * All settings are saved in the preferences file so FontPrinter should work correctly from locked volumes such as floppies, servers, and CD-ROMs * Added Open Suitcases which gives FontPrinter access to fonts in suitcases that are not installed in the system file and not loaded by other means (i.e. Suitcase, MasterJuggler, or CarpetBag) * Added Font Options which provides the following features: - Selection of CAPS only fonts w/o requiring ResEdit modifications - Selection of fonts to exclude w/o requiring removal from system - Identification of which fonts are new to the system - Small font sample can be displayed simply by clicking on a font name * Added support for larger monitors via dialog box centering and expansion * Added Preview which gives very basic, single page print preview capabilities * Added support for printing in up to eight equally spaced columns * Added error checking in Page Options to prevent the user from inputting any invalid values * Page statistics window is now updated immediately as relevant setup values are changed (This BinHex file created by DownLine 1.1) Font-Utilities
3d Brick Bash! 1.1 game/arc/three-d-brick-bash-11.hqx Matthew T Diamond 1 Dec 1993 Three-dimensional version of the old break-out game 3d Brick Bash! is a three-dimensional version of the old break-out game. Version 1.1 replaces previous versions. It requires: Color Quickdraw, System 6.0.5+ or 7.0+, 68020 CPU or greater, and 1,300K free memory to run in 256 colors (only 800K for 16,4, or 2 color). New features: enhancements to make levels progress faster... you can influence the ball speed, start play on any level previously reached, and random targets appear from time-to-time which award goodies. The ball generally moves and accelerates faster than before (unless you turn this off.) Not least, several bug fixes and an address change, too.

BloodSuckers 1.0 game/arc/bloodsuckers-10.hqx Brian Greenstone Diane Jewell Donaldson 28 Jul 1993 Arcade game. Bloodsuckers %Programming by: Brian Greenstone America OnLine: BrianG19 %Artwork by: Dave Triplett America OnLine: DTriplett Compuserve: 72220,1763 We at Pangea Software believe in the "old" shareware ideology that shareware should cost pennies and have no strings attached. Recently Mac shareware fees have exceeded costs of actual packaged software, and we think that stinks. For this, our first Mac shareware game, we are only asking: $5 We humbly request that instead of paying us, you send the money to the American Cancer Society. Please tell them why you are donating, and please write or email us to tell us if you have donated - we want to know if we are making a difference. We also are VERY interested in YOUR ideas for future shareware games. Our survival depends on your support. It is our intention to produce an entire line of shareware games for the Mac. We are aiming to crank one out every few weeks, but we need your help. Any assistance you can offer in terms of ideas, equipment, tech support, etc., would be great! Please notify us of any bugs (no pun intended) or system incompatibilites so that future games will work correctly. We are not yet official Apple developers, so our access to information is limited. Any technical help is greatly appreciated. Copy and distribute this program all you want. Shareware distributors are authorized to sell this program for no more than $5. Anyone wishing to sell the program for a higher price must receive written permission from Pangea Software. HOW TO PLAY Bloodsuckers is a shooting gallery type game where your goal is to protect your arm from being sucked into oblivion by hoards of blood-thirsty insects. The mouse moves your hand around the screen. Press the button to swat at a bug. On the right of the screen are two meters: a pain meter and a blood meter. The Pain Meter begins to go up when the first bug bites your arm. It cannot be stopped. The Blood Meter decreases as long as bugs are sucking on you. The more bugs there are sucking, the faster the meter goes down. When the blood meter runs out, you are dead. Some bugs are easier to hit than others, and some bugs may take more than one hit to kill. When the screen becomes full of bug guts, it may be difficult to see that a bug is sucking on your arm. At the end of each wave you will recieve bonus blood based on your pain meter. The less pain, the more blood you get. At the end of each level there is a timed bonus round where you must pick up as much blood as possible in the given time. You do not need to swat blood, just wave your hand over it to pick it up.

Diamonds 1.6 game/arc/diamonds-16.hqx Oliver Dreer Chris Johnson 11 Oct 1993 Maneuver a bouncing ball to remove bricks-Breakout. I noticed that "Diamonds", the arcade-style color Mac game wasnt on the info-mac archive site.. so here it is. Diamonds is a game by Oliver Dreer of Switzerland. Basically, it's the ultimate incarnation of the time honored "bricks" or "break out" game in which you maneuver a bouncing ball in an effort to remove as many bricks from the board as possible. Diamonds adds a lot to this basic idea including very attractive color graphics (it will ONLY work in 256 color mode), multi- channel sound (if you have System 6.0.7 or better), different types of bricks that require the use of corresponding flavors of balls, and significantly more complex and interesting layouts which become progressively more involved as the game goes on.

Patriot Command 1.1 game/arc/patriot-command-11.hqx Antonio-Lagana 16 Nov 1993 Protect world cities from an onslaught of ICBMs. Patriot Command is an implementation of a (once) popular arcade classic. The object of the game is to protect world cities from an onslaught of ICBMs and other nasties that an unnamed whimsical fascist dictator decided to launch against the world. The worlds only defenses are three Patriot missile silos which you command. Each Patriot missile is capable of creating an explosion large and powerful enough to destroy any enemy objects that are engulfed by it. Patriot Command requires a Mac II or better (020, 030, or 040 Mac) with a 640x400 or larger 256-color/grayscale monitor and 32-bit Color Quickdraw. It runs on System versions 6.0.7 and later as well as A/UX 3.0. It may be run in either 24-bit or 32-bit memory manager mode. Patriot Command has been tested and verified to work on the IIcx, IIsi, IIci, LCIII, IIfx, Quadra 700, and Quadra 800. Sorry, but at this time, Patriot Command will not run on Macs with the Apple 12 color monitor or the Color Classic. If there is enough interest, a version for smaller screen color Macs and Powerbooks with 16 grayscale monitors may be released in the future. If you like this game, please register your copy by sending in the registration form (select "Print Registration Form..." from the Apple menu) along with the $15/copy shareware fee to the below address.

I can already guess one future comment: Now it is too hard!!! 8^) Seriously, though, please let me know what features/modifications youd like to see in future versions of Patriot Command. I'll do my best to implement as many of your suggestions as possible. Changed the code so that shield and split icons are not displayed in the demo screen after aborting a game Fixed a bug that could cause the game to hang if the starting level was selected while Game Over was being displayed, immediately followed by pressing the space bar Fixed a bug that would cause portions of destroyed silos to reappear when an enemy missile or smart bomb hit the destroyed site Modified the auto-silo select code to select the closest non-empty silo when the player uses the mouse button to fire Added code to accelerate enemy missiles and smart bombs when the player is out of missiles Modified city icon selection code to ensure that all city icons are unique at any given time Modified the code to prevent shield usage after the Nuke bonus is shot Added a limit to the number of missiles/bombs that a bomber can drop Fixed a bug that could cause the game start sound to get mangled Version 1.0 - First Release Thank you, Antonio A.

Pentris1.0 game/arc/pentris-10.hqx Patrick Fournier Fournier Patrick 14 Dec 1993 Tetris-like game that uses pentominoes . Pentris is a Tetris-like game that uses pentominoes instead of tetraminoes (that is 5-squares pieces instead of 4-squares pieces). This makes the game a lot more challenging. This game requires System 7 or later and Color QuickDraw. Therefore, it's not compatible with the Macintosh Plus, SE and Classic. NOTE: when Pentris is used on an AV machine (Centris 660AV or Quadra 880AV), the sound doesn't always play well. I'll try to fix this in a future release. This bug should not prevent you enjoying the game. It has a shareware fee of 15$, but you can send any amount (more or less) you want. I grant the info-mac archive administrators the right to include Pentris on their CD-ROM. Patrick Fournier Game-Arcade

Dumbot 0.4 game/bolo/dumbot-04.hqx Jim Bumgardner 5 Aug 1993 The latest revision of Dumbot. This is the the latest revision of Dumbot. Excerpts from the release notes: Dumbot 0.4 will beat Indy 1.2 more often than not. This version also beats Indy somewhat faster, due to some improvements in strategy. Dumbot and Indy are close in capabilities, but Dumbot 1.4 has better navigation, strategy, tactics, and (last but not least) a few less bugs. No doubt this balance of power will change with the next release of Indy. On the down side Dumbot hogs the CPU and uses more dynamic RAM than the other brains I've tested. This situation has improved somewhat, but not a great deal. This version of Dumbot shoots more accurately (i.e. shooting where you're headed, instead of where you are). I noticed that this makes Dumbot a better opponent for humans, but doesn't make much of a difference against brains, since most brains are beaten by exploiting flaws in their strategies rather than by accurate shooting. - Jim Bumgardner Game-Bolo
FastTracker FKEY game/bolo/fast-tracker-fkey.hqx Matt Slot 9 Nov 1993 Quick method for finding Bolo games on the internet. FastTracker... "the lightning-fast way to find a bolo game" I wrote this in about a day as a quick method for finding Bolo games. With just a keystroke, you can find a list of current games on the internet; with another, you can launch Bolo with the game information on the Clipboard. Just type Cmd-Shift-5 from any program, including the Bolo startup dialog. The FastTracker dialog will come up and give you the latest information. (Remember, you need MacTCP to use FastTracker, or to play Internet Bolo). Share and Enjoy... the software is free to everyone. Bolo On! Matt Slot Game-Bolo
Indy 1.4 game/bolo/indy-14.hqx Gersham William Meharg 9 Sep 1993 Bolo auto pilot. Here is Indy 1.4. He preforms a bit better especially with regards to his man and mines.

Internet BoloTracker 1.0 game/bolo/internet-bolo-tracker-10.hqx Matt Slot 1 Jul 1993 Looks for Bolo games across the Internet. Internet BoloTracker v1.0 - DONT README This Bolo Tracker is a simple hack to look for Bolo games across the Internet. When you can't find anyone locally, it's time to look for another game somewhere out there. Better than the previous (AppleTalk) Tracker, I have added a little more user interface to it (see feature list). Features: The list is grouped by game. Network visible players are listed under their games, and are displayed in collapsible outline format. The list can be sorted by map name or by start time. Start time indicates whether a game is on a time delay or in progress. You can now see how many people are playing in a game, and how many unclaimed bases and pillboxes there are before joining. There is also a space indicating that this is a password protected, or locked, game. Selecting a the name of a player, or that IP number, selects the information. Now you can copy and paste the info directly into the Bolo Window. Editable subnet lists make it easy to add a new bolo site to scan. If you don't know what your subnet is, look in the prefs dialog for the <Local Subnet>, and that should be set to your subnet address. Send it to me to put it on the master list, or just post it to your friends. Subnets can be added with drag and drop of Tracker Prefs files or a specially formatted text file. Another way to load a file is to open the Subnet Prefs dialog, and option-click the Add button to get a Standard File dialog. Bolo Tracker is free to Bolo Addicts everywhere. Even more thanx go to Stuart Cheshire for his programming prowess. Internet BoloTracker is Copyright (c) 1993, Slot-Machines, Ltd. Game-Bolo

Tonto! game/bolo/tonto.hqx Milo (Michael) Sharp 21 Jul 1993 Autopilot for Bolo. Okay, here's a new brain for you all: Tonto! It's a reworking of my original autopilot, one of the first nonstandard brains. This one goes on to finish off some of the features I had begun to implement (such as repairing pillboxes) and adds several more (better neutral base snatching, base spiking, ally following) which set it (hopefully) on a level with the latest Indy, Maxwell and Dumbot. It's not loopproof, but it shouldn't crash your mac. If you play against it one on one, you may not notice much difference - however, with an allied computer player, Tonto will be much more effective. He also makes a good sidekick for you, hence his name, Tonto! You can get more description by downloading him and checking out the readme file. Also - some people have complained about not knowing which players are brains and which are humans. I propose that the Bolo community decide on a universal polling message - a message that a human could send to a player, and if it's a 'bot, get a response back from containting brain names and versions. I've already begun to put this code into Tonto!, but I can't think of what the standard message should be. Any idea? --- Milo (Michael) Sharp Here it is - Tonto! v1.0, successor to Milo's Autopilot.

Card Shell Vol1 1.0.1 game/crd/card-shell-vol1-101.hqx Ralph Sutherland Ralph Sutherland 25 Aug 1993 Series of solitaire card game releases. ABOUT THE CARD SHELL GAMES VOLUME #1. v1.0.1 Code and Artwork (c)1992 Ralph S Sutherland. Portions of code remain (c) Symantec Corp. Welcome to the first of a series of solitaire card game releases. Volume #1 is the first four games to be developed with a new card game framework called the Card Shell. They all use full colour graphics including 40 pack designs and 60 background patterns. This second 1993 release fixes a few more minor bugs. Features include: *They will (should?) work on all Apple screens at any colour depth. The games require a mac with colour quickdraw capabilities (see below). *The game applications have automatic saving of the current game so you can play, quit and restart where you left off. *They all have full undo and redo features to allow you to step forward and backwards through a game and even use fast forward and rewind to give rapid replays. *Copies of games in play may be saved in sepearate files, in this way several players could play the same setup and a tournament is possible. All the saved games include their playing history. *The game applications are designed with system 7.0 multiprocessing in mind. When the player is not moving any cards around the games use almost no cpu cycles and give maximum time to background processes. When the user starts to play, the games take much more cpu time to give a nice fast response. *The shell design uses a shared resource file called 'Cards' which contains all the bulky colour resources and sounds. This is around 350K. Each game can simultaneously share these reosurces, reducing the disk space requirements greatly. Each game is about 70-90K. For more details see the online help in the games ;-) *****System requirements They are designed to work best under system 7.0 or newer, although they will still function with some loss of smoothness under system 6.0.7. The games use full 256 colour colour graphics, but they have optimisations to work well under all depths from B&W to 32bit colour. However they require a mac with colour quickdraw. At the moment this includes: all Mac II computers (including the SE/30), all LCs, all Quadras, Centris machines, Performas, the Classic II and the Colour Classic. all powerbooks (except the PB100) and probably all newer macs. They each want about 1MB of ram under system 7.0 and up to 1.5-2MB under system 6 without 32bit Quickdraw *****Credits Design & programming: Ralph S Sutherland. Testing: Neville Smythe and Kim Holburn. Freeware, Enjoy! Ralph S Sutherland August. 1993. PS: The Example games folder contains some games that have worked out. you can load them in and replay them with the rewind and fast forward options. -- Ralph S.

ABOUT THE CARD SHELL GAMES VOLUME #2.01 Code and Artwork (c)1992 Ralph S Sutherland. Portions of code remain (c) Symantec Corp. Welcome to a series of solitaire card game releases. These are the second release of three games, developed with a new card game framework called the Card Shell. They all use full colour graphics including 40 pack designs and 60 background patterns. This release fixes some minor bugs, particularly occuring when starting on a machine that doesn't have Color QD. ********************************************************** IMPORTANT: You do not require Volume #1 to use Volume #2, but if you already have Volume #1 then you only require one copy of the 'cards' data file. It can be shared by all of the Card Shell games. You can simply remove the copy that comes with volume #1 and use the Volume #2 'cards' file for all the games. This will save about 350K of disk space. [without file compression ;-)] ********************************************************** Features include: *They will (should?) work on all Apple screens at any colour depth.

When a match is found, the player gets another turn. The first player to match more than half the cards wins. Ties are settled by whomever matches the bonus pair.

This is a demonstration version of Firefall, a new commercial arcade game from Inline Software. Firefall needs 256 colors to run. Firefall can basically be described as "Centipede on steroids". The animation is excellent, and the game is (in my opinion) worth downloading just in order to have a gaze at. In particular, it has this main-menu screen with gorgeous neon-fonted text, and a kind of cold-fire mouse pointer that has to be seen to be believed.

This version (2.1) introduces a system-wide menu located in the right side of menubar, that is used to send pilot's messages to controllers.

Pitt->Mgntn Flight Sim 1.3.7 game/com/fs-atc-pit-mgw-137.hqx Jeffrey N. Fritz Jeffrey N. Fritz 10 Dec 1993 Simulates a Crown (USAir) commuter flight. Pittsburgh to Morgantown Controller For FS-ATC 2.1 Copyright by Jeffrey N. Fritz 9 December 1993 Version 1.37 All Rights Reserved No doubt many folks would love to fly above the clouds from Pittsburgh International to Morgantown, West Virginia--home of the 11-0 Sugar Bowl bound West Virginia Mountaineers! (Go Ers!) With the PIT-MGW controller and a few other goodies, you will be able to do that just that. You'll even be able to communicate in real time with simulated air traffic controllers. The controllers will call out positioning information to you all along the route. When you break out of the clouds, Morgantown's Hart field will be dead ahead! The PIT-MGW controller simulates a Crown (USAir) commuter flight from Pittsburgh International to Hart Field in Morgantown. The air route follows the actual route flown by the commuter (weather permitting) several times a day, seven days a week. The aircraft usually flown is a Shorts 330. With full out throttle and a little imagination, Microsoft Flight Simulator's Cessna 182 can come close to emulating the Shorts. This is the first of what will be (hopefully) many controllers for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Miika Asunta's FS-ATC. I would enjoy hearing from private or commercial pilots or from air traffic controllers. Maybe you have a flight plan that would be fun to simulate. I'd be glad to work with pilots or controllers in creating new controller files, especially for ILS routes that professional or private pilots have flown. Getting started To use this controller you need three things: 1. Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0 (Mac version) 2. FS-ATC 2.1 Air Traffic Control software for Microsoft Flight Simulator Macintosh version 4.0 (Available on Sumex-Aim and Nautilus CD-ROM.) 3. Mallard Scenery files, SD-11 World Scenery and SD-9 World Scenery. Please see the read me file. It contains more information on the controller and on how it operates. I worked very hard to make this controller as accurate as possible. Its development involved numerous conversations with professional pilots and air traffic controllers. I hope you enjoy it.

This is a demonstration version (limited to a few levels only) of Spin Doctor, a new commercial strategy/arcade type of game by Callisto "SuperMazeWars" Corporation. Spin Doctor needs 256 colors or grays to run. Spin Doctor is hard to describe -- it is truly like no game I've ever seen before -- but basically you have to move a rotating wand from point to point on a large grid, in search of a 'goal' gridpoint. While doing so, you not only have to deal with various types of enemy wands who stalk the grid in their own mysterious ways, but also with spikes, acid droplets, moving doors, bombs, fuses, and lots more fun stuff like that. Your mileage may vary, but I think that if you liked Oxyd you are probably going to LOVE Spin Doctor. I am in no way involved with the people who created this game.

AlphaBoat 1.1 game/alpha-boat-11.hqx Jim Allison 20 Sep 1993 Game which teaches children the Alphabet. New in version 1.1: The Big and Small Letters card has a button which repeats the question- a much needed improvement. Multiple clicks are trapped so that enthusiastic triple clicks won't cause the phrase to be repeated three times. Several bugs which caused error messages to appear when clicking in certain areas have been fixed. General Description: AlphaBoat is an entertaining game which teaches children the Alphabet. In one activity the child is asked to find a "Big" or Little" letter. By choosing the correct letter the child moves a sail boat from one tropical island to the next. In a second activity the child clicks on a camera and displays a picture of a common object such as a hat. The program then asks "What letter does the word HAT start with?" The target word is pronounced very carefully so that the sound of the starting letter can be clearly heard. Correct answers move the boat forward. Both activities contain ways to get help finding the correct letter or to find the correct letter by trial and error. The program is in full color and uses many high quality digitized sounds. Because of the included sounds the program size is quite large (over a MEG when expanded). It is kid tested and approved! AlphaBoat may be copied and distributed by electronic bulletin board as long as it is not altered in any way. SHAREWARE FEE: 12.00 U.S. Please send payment to: Jim Allison 12 Brookside Avenue #5 Worcester, MA 01602-1628 Disclaimer: In the unlikely event that AlphaBoat causes any damage to your computer system or data files, the author of this software assumes no responsibility for such damage.

Carotto 1.0.4 Luc De Bois, (c) 1993 Tricky Soft Carotto is a fully interactive board game for up to 5 human and/or mac pla- yers. It simulates a car race : you draw the circuit with the mouse then race on it. You can select the number of players and their skill anytime you want during the race, just clicking on the appropriate buttons. You want to play with a friend ? Select 2 cars then start the game. Your friend ( a beginner ) is far away behind you ? Let him play once again, or select one of the three mac pla- yers skills to automatically play for him. Your friend gives up ? Race against four mac players ( two beginners, one medium and one expert, that's a good deal ! ). You want to play alone to improve your skill and get the best race in one circuit lap ? Well... That's up to you ! Finally, the circuit is too easy for you ? Draw another one ( or play with an old one that has been saved pre- viously ) which figures a few more sharp turns and chicanes. The race principle is simple : a speed vector is associated with your car. At each race step you choose between ( in the most favourable case ) 4 possibili- ties to increase or decrease your speed vector and your car moves to the new position you've chosen : that's all ! You will accelerate in straight lines but be wise to anticipate road bends : whether you slow down in time or not, you'll take the race lead or crash into the circuit frame... You also need to antici- pate your adversaries' movements in order to avoid crashing into them but also, so as to obstruct their way and make them follow the wrong direction... That's how things go in reality ! Carotto should work on every mac with system 7.0 or greater and a 256-colour screen. Carotto is a whatever-you-want-ware ( see Credits inside ) ! Enjoy !

Crystal Ball is a rulebook for GameMaster that finds GameMaster opponents over the internet. It is not a standalone game, but must be launched from within GameMaster. GameMaster is a game shell that lets you play two player games (called rulebooks) over a network (internet or appletalk). If you cannot find GameMaster at your local archive site, it is available at redback.cs.uwa.edu.au in the "/Others/RhysHollow" directory and is named "GMUseKit.cpt". Please check your local archive site first. Crystal Ball is not a game at all. When connected to a special server (named a "Spirit World", due mainly to metaphor mania), it registers the player as available for a game. The server informs Crystal Ball of all other players also registered at that Spirit World, and these players are listed in the rulebook's window. From this list, the player can select someone to play a different rulebook. When you are no longer available to play, you just disconnect Crystal Ball. Crystal Ball is most useful if you feel like playing a game, but you don't have anyone to play with. This archive includes a the rulebook "Crystal Ball", documentation for this rulebook, and a saved game of Crystal Ball. Rhys. Game-General

New BabySmash 5.1 game/baby-smash-51.hqx Justin Cohen Christina M. Shafer 7 Aug 1993 Application for keeping young kids happy. BabySmash 5.1 by Justin Cohen BUG FIX VERSION (OVER 5.0) ------------------------- • Fixes the awful bug that if you ever hit the power key, babysmash acts as if you are holding down a key - forever! MAJOR CHANGES TO THE OLD VERSION (4.0) --------------------------------- • You CAN'T break out of the program by using the mouse in any way! (as you may know this was a MAJOR problem with the old version) • Makes use of your entire screen whatever the size! • Saves your preferances when you quit! (Convenient) • Added a little baby fist cursor! • Added tons more sounds! • Can clear the screen with Flower-c (and try Flower-m-e for a self-portrate) GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO BABYSMASH! ------------------------------------ BabySmash is a shareware application that is for keeping your young kids happy without them accidentally dragging your word processor into the trash can. It basically just puts up random shapes and plays random sounds when your kid smashes on the keyboard (baby smash?) I know it sounds really stupid, and I'll admit it's my first real Mac program, but it's surprisingly catchy to those under the age of 5. I am amazed at how well it holds their attention. Anyway, it's shareware, so you have nothing to lose by trying. If you like it, you should send me something - $10 or at least a postcard if you're on a real tight budget. Game-General
Operation Diva 1.0 game/operation-diva.hqx Robert T Chancellor 14 Dec 1993 Go on a quest to save one of the council’s daughters. Operation Diva requires at least System 6.0.7 with 8-bit color (32-bit QuickDraw required), and at least 2MB of RAM. There are 25 levels of ships corridors and rooms that must be navigated to win the game. The goal is to reach the 25th level and rescue the Ambassador's daughter. Operation Diva requires a fair amount of strategy. Players who love the "Shoot-en-up" method many not make it all the way through the game. A large part of the strategy is to know when and how to avoid the creatures. The droids encoutnered in the game all use the same method of tracking you. Once you learn this method, you can find ways to exploit it. The story line is as follows: "Your name is Rork Sorril, a member of the strategic fighting unit for the Council of Planets. You have served the council for over twelve years, developing a reputation of a ruthless mercenary. You are now imprisoned for disobeying orders during a recent combat. You were told to pull out of the engagement, but continued to attack, knowing a defeat was near. You continued to pond the ship with your weapons, ultimately destroying it. Unfortunatly, you did not know the reason you were ordered to disengage was that one of the council's diplomats was discovered to be onboard the ship you were trying to destroy. Your trial was quick and painful. About two days ago, you were visited in your cell by one of the council members. He told you how an alien race known as the Xoren, had broke into his home, and kidnapped his daughter Samantha. The Xoren are known for the cruel scientific experiments they perform, all focused around breeding new races. The concilman informed you that he would pardon you of all previous crimes if you would rescue his beloved daughter. You are told that transport to the ship will be arranged if you decide to take the quest. realizing that you will probably be stuck in this prison for the better part of your life (if you refuse), you decide to take the councilman up on his offer. As you prepare for the journey, the councilman informs you to watch out for droids. The majority of a Xoren's ship is run by droids. Their advanced droid technology will certainly make them one of the more dangerous enemies you have faced." Have fun and enjoy! Game-General

You blundering glob of sloshy navel lint! You insignificant mass of stenchy hogwash! You slovenly shovel-full of contaminated muskox droppings! You cantankerous stack of decaying goat carcasses!

Save Princeton 1.9 game/save-princeton-19.hqx Jacob Solomon Weinstein 14 Nov 1993 A text-adventure game set at Princeton University. This is Save Princeton v1.9. Save Princeton is a text-adventure game set at Princeton University. Version 1.9 corrects a few minor bugs from previous versions, and updates my address. You don't need any special knowledge of Princeton to enjoy the game, which pits the player against mysterious invaders who have taken over campus. In fact, Save Princeton's off-beat sense of humor and elegant puzzles should appeal to anybody who enjoys adventure games--or mental challenges of any sort. Save Princeton was created with TADS, and has a highly intelligent parser. The game has a vocabulary of 981 words, and there are 52 locations. This puts it at least on the level of the old Infocom games in terms of depth. ("Deadline" had a vocabulary of 656 words; "Enchanter," 723.) Save Princeton is shareware, with a fee of $10. It should work on everything from a Mac Plus on up, with any system greater than 6.0. It will probably work on even older systems, but I can't make any promises. Game-General

The game requires just the right amount of skill to be both challenging and rewarding for 3 to 6 year olds. It also requires a color Mac with 12" or larger screen. After ten hits, a charming sound track and graphic display delights the child. The Shareware fee is $ 6.00 U.S Game-General
Siege of Darkwood 1.0 game/siege-of-darkwood-10.hqx Robert T. Chancellor. 23 Nov 1993 Fantasy roleplaying game. Siege of Darkwood is a fantasy roleplaying game where you become Captain of the Guard. The city is under attack from a great army lead by an evil creature named "Torque". Sages in the town say he is from another plane, but all you know is that it is your job to stop him. You may purchase weapons, armor, potions, or magic items at the start or during your quest. You may also try your hand at the gaming hall where dice games may be played. There are ten combat phases, each getting more difficult than the previous. You select a troop to fight, each consisting of 1-3 creatures, and try your best to defeat them in combat. Combat is not your only worry however. If the creatures move adjacent to the city walls, they may have the opportunity to attack them. The walls may only take so much damage before collapsing. It is your job to defeat those nearest the wall (if possible), to avoid the destruction of the city. Siege of Darkwood is a sequel of sorts to Darkwood. It continues the Darkwood storyline, following the peasant Derek, who in winning in the arena, was given the post of Captain of the Guard. This game requires at least system 6.0.7 and you must have at least 8-bit color to play this game. I have kept a similar simple interface, such as that used in Darkwood. I have however, attempted to add a bit more strategy to the game, advancing the complexity of the game just a bit. I hope you enjoy this game. Please feel free to upload this to any online services your wish, so long as no modifications are made to the version uploaded. I have access to AOL and have already uploaded it there, but lack accounts with other services. Game-General
Sokoban 1.1.1 game/sokoban-111.hqx Scott Lindhurst Scott Lindhurst 18 Nov 1993 Push treasures around a maze. Sokoban 1.1.1 is an update to Sokoban 1.1. (Not to be confused with MacSokoban, another implementation of the same game). Version 1.1.1 fixes a bug that caused graphics to be all black on some machines with monochrome monitors. If you don't have this problem, then there's no need to download this update. Sokoban is a game, or maybe a puzzle. You push treasures around a maze. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! There's not much room to turn around, and you have to be careful not to get a treasure stuck in a corner (you can't pull, just push). And the treasures are too heavy to push two at once, so don't get one stuck against another. Fortunately you can undo the last 500 moves and save your position. The game is easy to play, but hard to solve. But all 85 levels are solvable, and once you solve them all, you can always make up your own. Sokoban has been available on Unix machines for a long time; this is a rewrite for Macintosh. It's FreeWare and works under any system from 4.1 up (including system 7) on the Mac Plus and newer (and probably even the 512Ke, but I don't know anyone who has one). Scott Lindhurst Game-General

MacSokoban Level Editor 3.1 MacSokoban Level Editor lets you design your own levels and edit existing levels of MacSokoban 2.0 or a Sokoban 2.0-file ("Extra" file). You can save your work as TEXT files or export it directly into MacSokoban. New is the larger field limit of 24 x 18 signs; a normal level is about 18 to 12 signs, although MacSokoban works not bad with 30 x 18 signs. The Windows version of Sokoban only has 19 x 17. Use an ordinary text editor to create or change larger levels. Some functions : Turn the level by 90 degree, test the level for the same number of gold bags and destinations, add bags or the man to destinations , Fill area, insert column, cut column, erase signs, kill level (resource), balloon help and so on. Of course, there had again to be done a little bit of debugging, which is made (save level was possible, but switched off).

Stratos is more =D2traditional=D3 than my last rule set, having tanks and j= ets rather than dragons and knights. Some noticeable differences from the standard rules include 1) an effective ICBM defence; 2) Several different kinds of missiles including air to air missiles; 3) Mines for your harbors. The sample game included might be worth trying once you get a handle on the rules =D1 I gave it some settings I consider interesting, and stacked t= he deck against the human player. The computer will willingly play against you with this rule set, but be aware of the following problems. 1) Fighters carrying missiles can only refuel at cities. I understand thi= s problem is inherent in the game. 2) The computer isn=D5t great at holding what it has, which a smart human can do rather well. I normally find that if the computer doesn=D5t stubbor= nly remind you that you are destined to loose for the first third of the game, there is no challenge. 3) Technology is important! The computer player doesn=D5t really spend enough on Science and Technology, IMHO. Have fun!

Ultimate Math Machine 1.0 game/the-ultimate-math-machine-10.hqx David Bagno Lance K. Chun 18 Sep 1993 Powerful and complete math program. The Ultimate Math Machine v1.0 By David Bagno Copyright 1993 I am very excited about this program and I am sure you will be too! The Ultimate Math Machine is a very powerful and complete math program. It is a Talking Addition Magician, Talking Times Tables, Talking Subtraction Action and Division Magician all in one. It is the only basic mathematics program you will ever need. It's MacinTalk II (Speech Manager) ready, so when you get it you be in the fast lane with the latest and greatest technology!. Speech Manager is capable of speeking all the numbers. This feature is very important for a children's math program and was not available with the old MacinTalk. Best of all, unlike the original MacinTalk, Speech Manager is compatible with all the new Macs! The Ultimate Math Machine includes many custom features that make it a teacher's best friend. You control the factor range so you can tailor it to your student's needs. It offers multiple choice mode or blind typing entry. For example: there are 12 possible answer's to any giving times' table. Let us look at the Five Table. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 Each multiple of 5, is a multiple choice button. By having the multiples in front of the students, rather then having to pick them out of a hat, they can maximize their learning efforts and have fun. This concept forces a child to see the natural patterns in numbers. Shortly after this, teachers can disable multiple choice mode and have the children blind type the answers in. You will be amazed to see how fast they learn the tables. This concept has been applied to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well. By working with number patterns, children naturally assimilate the more abstract concepts of division and subtraction. The only requirement for this program is that children know the numbers up to ten. The Ultimate Math Machine, is universally adjustable to the student's level. This program is a powerful learning tool and a source of tremendous fun for kids. Each response is greeted with a comical little epithet and quick little tune! It even makes adults laugh. It also uses sparkling color graphics to captivate children's imagination. Children might have to compete with their parents to get a chance to play! This program is Shareware and requires a $15.00 registration fee. When I receive your payment I will E mail or sent the key to unlock the whole program. I will also send you a demo disk with several other programs! Game-General

Kings Cross Coke 2.0 grf/kings-cross-coke.hqx John Rotenstein Roger D. Parish 2 Sep 1993 Tribute to the Kings Cross Coca-Cola sign. The Coca-Cola symbol is undoubtedly the most recognisable in the world due to the massive marketing efforts undertaken by the Coca-Cola Company. One particular Coca-Cola advertisement can be found in Kings Cross, just outside the CBD of Sydney, Australia. Not only is it one of the largest advertisements in the country, it also proudly flaunts its messages with a barrage of flashing lights, not all of which are always working correctly. This program is a tribute to that sign and to the attractiveness of its multiple light patterns. While the real sign has only seven patterns, which constantly repeat, KINGS CROSS COKE is capable of displaying thousands of light patterns in a totally random fashion. For lucky colour users, you can even randomise the colours of the sign's elements. It's rather hoopy, really. Kings Cross Coke operates under MultiFinder to give you the ultimate background pattern. It's the real thing. Kings Cross Coke is distributed under the HappiWare* System: IF YOU LIKE IT, REMEMBER TO SMILE! But seriously, if you do like Kings Cross Coke, I would appreciate your sending me a picture postcard of your home town, just so I can see how far this little program has spread. John Rotenstein PO Box 165 Double Bay, NSW 2028 AUSTRALIA. P.S. Yes, I know that normal Coke doesn't have NutraSweet, but the logo was too good not to use. Graphics-General

This is a color STEREO Macintosh PICT file of the famous American author and humorist Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens 1835-1910). Although he is shown in bed, this was the way that he always worked. The photographs were taken by the stereo photo company "Underwood & Underwood" sometime around the turn of the century.

Photos for Desktop 2 grf/photos-for-desktop-v2.hqx Michael Bradshaw 8 Nov 1993 Collection of desktop artwork. I didn't give much of an introduction to the release of the first volume so I will make up for it now with Volume 2. Introduction Photos for your Desktop is collection of desktop artwork designed to sit on your Macintosh desktop and provide something restful for your eye to look at while you go about your Macintosh business. Each set consists of three parts- The first part is the "Viewer". This contains color previews of all the photos, captions that make some comments on the image content, photo notes explaining how the image was taken and/or subsequently edited, and a nifty locations map showing where in the world the photograph was taken. The Viewer can also be used to install the artwork in the appropriate places if you are not over-savvy with that sort of thing. The second part is the picture collection proper. There are desktop picture files for each of the photos and each can be used either as a startupscreen or, more usually, as a desktop background using either the shareware program Decor or similar, or the commercial program Now FunPictures. Each picture file is a full-screen version of the small photograph contained in the viewer and consequently looks quite impressive once installed. The third and last part of the collection is a set of pixel patterns derived from the photographs. These are all 128 x 128 pixels in full color. The patterns, with exceptions, are mostly "photograph-orientated" (compared with the other genres of patterns- textures and cartoons). Formats are available for the shareware programs Desktop Textures and Before Dark -- ppat -- and for the commercial programs Wallpaper(tm) and The Living Desktop(tm). There have been two Photos for your Desktop volumes so far. Volume 1 was an "Around the World" set containing postcard-style pictures of scenic places in a few far apart countries. Volume 2, which is the set accompanying this document, is more thematically based and is titled "Earth, Sea, & Sky". It contains timeless natural imagery with no human artefacts or activity present. All photos in this volume were taken on the East coast of Australia, and there are... pictures of waves crashing against rocks, sunlight glinting off the sea around a sandy beach, sunset soaked clouds, palm trees against a fiery sky ...that sort of thing. Each Photos for you Desktop volume has a discountable shareware fee of US$10 and is normally supplied compressed on 2 HD disks. This Downloadable Edition (well, downloadable if you have a fast modem, it's about 750K binhexed) contains a fully operational Viewer containing 10 color pictures & pattern previews, 1 full-screen desktop picture, and four 8-bit / 16-bit pixels patterns in all formats. Hope you like it. Any comments would be most welcome. Graphics-General

1604 grf/qt/the-1604.hqx Simon Higgs 9 Nov 1993 QuickTime movie for the Macintosh . 1604.moov is a short QuickTime movie recorded & edited within hours of Pat getting his Video Bigot... ahem... Video Spigot nubus card for his Mac IIvx. It was created in the highly sought after style of incoherency combined with manic hysteria. The initial editing was done in Adobe Premiere 2.0 on a Mac IIvx, and the final edited version was output using Adobe Premiere 3.0 on a Mac Centris 650. Special effects include Chroma Keying, disolves, fades, Wet-Wipes, superimposed animated titles, and having to push a large plastic starship in front of the camera. MovieShop V1.0b24 (!) was then used to create a compressed stand-alone QuickTime movie which can be played using Apple's MoviePlayer application (or imported into your favorite word processing package to annoy other people). *****There are several highly philosphical messages contained in the movie, most of which will not be understood unless you have read every single message ever posted on the Internet, in every single news group for the past millenium (we haven't done this so most of it either came to us by osmosis or went right over the tops of our heads).***** Suffice to say, this small insignificant & irreverent contribution has absolutely nothing to do with any of the following: Beavis & Butthead - Mackie Designs - Multimedia (in general) - Neil Armstrong - Star Trek - NTSC - Anyone who owns a Camcorder, or a Mackie 1604 mixer, or a Macintosh, or makes stupid plastic spaceship models...

Text Track Sample Movies grf/qt/text-track-sample.hqx RICHARD LIM 27 Oct 1993 Examples of how you can use text frames and subtitles. In the Infomac Digest V11 #210, Gordon Werner (flypba@aol.com) gave us all a valuable tip on how we could at last get at that text track capability that's been lurking in QuickTime since version 1.5. Inspired by his suggestion, I set about adding text tracks to two movies I'd made a few days earlier, and I now submit these as examples of how you can use text frames and subtitles. The video sections of both movies are Cinepak-compressed, so you should have 16-bit colour or better, or else use 256 greyscales. I've also included some documentation giving my own recipe for creating text tracks with Movie Player and listing some pitfalls I encountered. For the text tracks and my documentation to display properly, you should have the TrueType versions of Geneva and New York installed. I don't claim these movies to be models of thespian prowess or cinematic technique - all they are is me and a friend messing about in someone's office actually - but I do hope they inspire you to get started with text tracks yourself. I realise this is a rather large submission for what it is, and will probably only be downloaded by those with fast and cheap net access, so I'll make my documentation available separately if you write me. PS: Apologies to Gordon Werner - in my documentation I stupidly forgot to delete the words "sorry I don't know your real name". Graphics-QuickTime

3D Dots 1.1 grf/util/three-d-dots-11.hqx Jeff Strobel 7 Aug 1993 Creates random dot stereograms. I'm pleased to announce the latest release of "3D Dots" vers.1.1 for the Macintosh. 3D Dots is a program for creating your own random dot stereograms. Random dot stereograms are three-dimensional images, made of dots, that require no special glasses for viewing. Once you have learned how to view them, the images contained in stereograms appear almost magically to pop off the page. To view them, all you need is binocular vision, patience and perhaps a sense of humor. In 3D Dots, you can create your own random dot stereograms using shapes (rectangles, circles and triangles) and text. You can change dot patterns as well as the "elevation" of objects (how far they appear to pop off the page). 3D Dots works like a drawing program. You can create objects, move them around and erase them. You can save the images for editing in other drawing programs, copy them into the clipboard or print them out directly from 3D Dots. Features: * Easy paint/draw program-like image creation * Multiple backgrounds dot patterns * Visual alignment dots * Image height control * Copy/Save/Print * Extensive help * Explanation of Random Dot Stereogram theory System Requirements: * System 7 minimum * Monitor with at least 640 X 400 pixels resolution 3D Dots is shareware. Registration is $19.00. See the shareware notice inside the program for details. The file itself is enclosed in binhex format. You should save this entire message, download it to your Macintosh and run a de-binhexing program on it. Stuffit Classic, Compact Pro and Binhex 4.0 all have this feature. Thanks and enjoy!

PictFlipper grf/util/pict-flipper.hqx Jon Pugh 19 Aug 1993 Small drag and drop utility . This is an introduction to PictFlipper, a small drag and drop utility which is moderately useful when dealing with PICT files and StartupScreens. It will run under System 6 and 7 with a standard file dialog box if launched without a file. What it does is simple. It turns PICT files into StartupScreens and vice versa. A PICT file should be fairly obvious. A StartupScreen is more ambiguous. Essentially, a StartupScreen has a file type of SCRN, but that's not always the case. What it MUST have though is a resource of type PICT and ID = 0. This is in contrast with the old 9" b&w StartupScreens which had the same file type but were uncompressed bitmaps stored in the data fork. PictFlipper doesn't deal with those kinds of StartupScreens.

This will allow you to develop RenderMan Interface Bytestream Plug-in Modules for use with Showplace 2.0 from Pixar. Like Photoshop, Plug-ins offer users the ability to have additional functionality added to a program by people that like to code! We believe that this will increase the popularity of Showplace, and bring more realistic pictures to the industry. America Online users have already downloaded this kit, and begun development efforts on many types of plug-ins. The purpose of these plug-ins is to generate geometry in an otherwise non-modeling type of program. Showplace does not allow you to model in 3D, but rather to import objects that have been designed in a modeler. Now with the plug-ins you can make your own geometry. This kit does ship with Showplace, but if you do not have Showplace 2.0, then you can use this to develop without it. Graphics-Utilities

ScreenSnap 2.4 grf/util/screen-snap-24.hqx Vaughan Johnson 13 Dec 1993 Screen capture utility. Here's a new release of the shareware screen capture utility, ScreenSnap(TM) version 2.4 for the Macintosh(R), included with this message. ScreenSnap 2.4 supercedes ScreenSnap 2.3, released in June 1992. I have since dissolved Knowledge Source, Inc., so send suggestions and questions directly to me now, at the address below. ScreenSnap 2.4 lets you take a snapshot of any rectangular portion of the Macintosh screen and save it in a window for later use. Once created, the snapshot can be inverted, moved, saved as a PICT file, copied to the Clipboard (and pasted into applications), printed, or just left hanging around on-screen for reference. Because ScreenSnap uses PICT format for its files, it can read the output of most drawing programs, and be used as a PICT file viewer. You can get pixel dimension information on any PICT file (width, height, and depth). ScreenSnap handles color, multiple monitors (including snapping across monitors), and multiple screensnaps. A screensnap can be dragged from any point in its window. ScreenSnap is useful in many situations. For example: - When reading electronic mail, an important message can be snapped for later reference. - When running a program, important results can be snapped and printed instantly. - When programming, screen output can be snapped and saved for later reference, for user interface mock-up, or for pasting into a document. You can set a default rectangle size for capture, when you need a PICT of a specific size. I am requesting an $11 shareware fee from people who use ScreenSnap 2.4; and $7 would be a generous upgrade fee, or additional amount for a request to get a copy via floppy disk (so a total of 11+7 = $18 for a new copy of 2.4 on floppy by mail -- I expect most people will get it from online services). Of course, the fee is entirely optional ...it's shareware. Try it first & then decide. Thank you. Please distribute ScreenSnap 2.4 freely, including the commercially available CD-ROM of the info-mac archives. Graphics-Utilities

At Your Service 1.2 card/at-your-service-12.hqx Tim Barlow 10 Dec 1993 HyperCard communications package. At-Your-Service 1.0 is a HyperCard communications package that - * provides a toolkit for installing self contained communications capabilities into new or existing stacks. The installed facilities provide a fast, simple and secure way of launching multiple, simultaneous communication sessions. * is based upon Apple's Communications Toolbox technology, consequently connectivity is only limited by the range of Connection and Terminal Emulation tools that are available on your machine. (N.B. The package comes bundled with a public domain TCP/IP/telnet tool and Apple's VT102 terminal emulation tool). * includes 'communications' extensions to HyperCard's scripting language (HyperTalk) to provide a powerful communications scripting facility. The package is designed around the concept of a 'service', which is defined as any process running on a local or remote computer, eg. an Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) or a Campus Wide Information System (CWIS). A service is uniquely defined via a series of 15 parameters that describe attributes such as the name, service type, the method used to connect to the service, the login and logout scripts, etc. The hub of the package is the AYS Installer stack that is responsible for maintaining service definitions by providing facilities for creation, storage and testing. As the name implies the stack is also responsible for installing/removing definitions into/from other stacks, therefore enabling the creation of custom built communication stacks or the addition of communications facilities to existing stacks. Installed service definitions allow for multiple, simultaneous sessions to be active at any one time. A typical session might therefore include a serial connection to your local OPAC in one window, whilst another window displays information from a CWIS, and a third displays a remote network connection to a second OPAC. The second stack included with the package, the AYS Example stack is a stand-alone communications 'application' that is intended both as an example of what can be achieved as well as a useful, ready-to-use utility.

Break Name 1.1 card/break-name-11.hqx Ben Lawson 5 Jul 1993 Separates a file name into its components. BreakName 1.1 is a HyperCard XFCN designed to quickly separate a full file name into its components. To install it, use a program like ResEdit to copy the BreakName XFCN resource from this stack and paste it into any HyperCard stack you wish to access it from. If you wish to use this XFCN in a number of stacks, just install it in your Home stack. Many Macintosh users never see a 'raw' file name, but if you delve into file manipulation in HyperCard you will become painfully familiar with them. To see the hidden part of a file name, select a file in Finder and choose "Get Info" from the File menu. The hidden part of the name appears on the line labelled 'where'. It is usually a rather long chunk of text that contains the name of every folder you have to open to get to the desired file. The only parameter BreakName requires is a text string, presumably the name of a file from which you want to extract the path or actual file name. The result of its calculations is a text string containing just the file's actual name. Optionally you can specify just the part you require ("Volume", "Path", "Folder", or "File"), and the path separators in case you are using some future version of the Mac O/S that uses different path separators (or perhaps A/UX). A special case is made to properly deal with the string returned by HyperCard's "long name of this stack" function, which is of the form <Stack "Hard Drive:Any Old Stack">. This special case may not work with non-English versions of HyperCard. Syntax: BreakName(FileName,<Part>,<Separator>) The BreakName XFCN is copyright Ben Lawson 1993.

Cambridge Medline Tutor card/medline-tutor.hqx Eric Rumsey 31 Aug 1993 Teachs library users to search the Cambridge Medline CD-ROM . Cambridge Medline Tutor contains Hypercard 1.2.5 stacks used (several thousand times) at University of Iowa, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, to teach library users to search the Cambridge CD-ROM version of the Medline database. Since Cambridge no longer produces CD-ROM Medline, the stacks are not directly usable as teaching tools; however, they contain scripting techniques that are of general applicability for CAI. Especially unusual about these stacks is that they use Hypercard on a Mac to teach use of an IBM computer (pre-Windows). Because of this, the stacks are controlled almost exclusively from the keyboard, instead of using the mouse. Other techniques that may be useful include: -A time-out script that returns the system to the introductory screen after a set time of inactivity. -Technique to superimpose a relatively small field of text on the screen gradually in an aesthetically pleasing way. -Graphic design and simple animation techniques to simulate screens and screen transitions in a command-line DOS environment. To use stacks, put them all in a folder, and open HardinStart I would suggest putting in Hypercard directory. --Eric Rumsey, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, Univ of Iowa, Iowa City HyperCard
Colorizing HC XCMD 1.1.5 card/colorizing-hc-115.hqx John Forrest 30 Sep 1993 Supports colour backdrops in Hypercard. This is v1.1.5 of the Colorizing HC stuff, replacing the previously distributed versions. At the heart of the stack is the colorizeHC XCMD, which supports colour backdrops in Hypercard - supporting a surprising variety of colour effects in standard Hypercard. However, a stack provides other features. With some simple amendments to your stack, it will send extra messages to indicate when colour or windows should be added. It will maintain a list of windows over a card, and move them if the window moves and close them when the card closes. For read-only stacks it maintains a number of global variables, saved and restored for each stack - supporting stacks that change the appearance of particular cards when they are on the screen, but do not wish to save the data when Hypercard terminates. The same mechanism can be used generally to skip some of the initialisation process of a stack when subsequently resuming it. This version still contains v1.0 of the XCMD, but has many extensions of the support scripts and fixes a few bugs. The XCMD stack itself can be more easily distributed as a run time system, without its support stacks. HyperCard

HierPopup 3.2.2 card/hpopup-menu-322.hqx Jon Pugh 1 Nov 1993 Popup menu XFCN. This time for sure! My recent attempts at uploading this have resulted in corrupted files somehow. I'm thinking of blaming Eudora, but I think it's more likely to be the Apple Modem Tool since I recently changed my settings. Ah well, more work to figure things out. Here's an XModem upload which definately isn't corrupted. This is the latest version of the world's best popup menu XFCN. It has boatloads of features, including the ability to set the font and size, use color icons and to use arbitrarily deep MENU resources. See the stack for documentation and examples. This update fixes a long standing bug in the use of excessive numbers of SICNs in the menus. It took years for anyone to push it far enough to find this one. ;) HyperCard
HyperDecisionTree 2.0.5 card/hyper-decision-tree-205.hqx Troy Kelley 26 Jul 1993 Creates a decision tree . This is the latest version of HyperDecisionTree. It fixes a serious bug >From version 2.0.4 which would cause a stack to become damaged if the cancel button was selected while creating a new stack for a non-expert. For those of you who have never used HyperDecisionTree, it is a non-inferential expert system shell which allows an expert to create a decision tree of their knowledge and then save the decision tree as a separate stack in order to give to users in need of the expertise contained within the stack. The stack primarily serves as an overview of the decision tree, allowing the expert to follow questions and answers down the road to specific conclusions. The expert can even display graphics as part of a conclusion. Troy Kelley HyperCard
HyperMacro 1.0 card/hyper-macro-10.hqx David Sumner 18 Sep 1993 An INIT that makes it much easier to enter scripts in HyperCard. HyperMacro is an INIT that makes it much easier to enter scripts in HyperCard. It contains the following features: 1. It responds automatically to many actions. For example, if you type: on BigHandlerName then after you press Enter, HyperMacro supplies the 'end BigHandlerName' There is a similar response to 'function,''if-then,' 'exit,' 'pass,' 'repeat' and more. 2. You can scroll back in your script as far as you like, and then have any selected text instantly copied to the point where you are currently editing. 3. There are ten extra paste buffers (Clipboards). 4. You can move around more easily. 5. There are numerous glossary macros that simplify entering text. 6. Holding down the Shift key while pressing Return or Enter will repeat the previous line. 7. HyperMacro can often anticipate your scripting actions using what are called 'Initial Macros.' And more!

Logo 2.1 card/logo-21.hqx L. Taylor 2 Sep 1993 Logo for Macintosh. Previously, I submitted this version of Logo without its accompanying ReadMe file. (Whoops!) Here it is again. This is Logo 2.1/Mac, simply the best shareware Logo for Macintosh. It runs on HyperCard 2.1. Unlike some Logo variants, which require knowledge of HyperCard scripting and can provide quizzical errors, with Logo 2.1 you never have to mess with HyperCard's internals. Almost all commands supported by Apple II Logo are present. (Due to limitations of Hypercard, color is absent) I'm sure you'll like Logo 2.1, and for only $5 shareware how could you go wrong? Thanks very much for giving my program a try, and for keeping shareware alive... *Stiles HyperCard

PrefWorks & FileWorks XFCNs card/disk-files-access.hqx Ken Taylor 7 Aug 1993 Two Hypercard XFCNs for accessing disk data files. Find enclosed two Hypercard XFCNs for accessing disk data files: PrefWorks 1.0 XFCN: Finds the correct location for preference files under all System verisons and creates files automatically in these locations. Also gives very fast data transfers to and from these files. FileWorks 1.0 XFCN: Uses the file engine out of PrefWorks, but allows creation and use of generic files. Either via a Standard File dialog or with a pathname. Ken Taylor HyperCard
PrintIt 1.0 card/print-it-10.hqx Al Caughey 31 Aug 1993 Prints the text of visible card fields on an 8.5"x11" page. What Does it do? This XCMD prints the text of visible card fields and/or background fields on an 8.5"x11" page (each card is printed on a separate page). The text of each field is printed at the same position as it appears on the card in a rectangle with the same dimensions as the field. Foreground or background printing is permitted across a network or directly to the printer. Based upon (entirely biased) observations, the XCMD is very much faster than Hypercard - although, at the moment, I have no data to give an indication of the size of the improvement. HyperCard

RTF XCMDs 1.3 card/rich-text-format.hqx Janet E Abbate 19 Aug 1993 Deals with text in Rich Text Format. Enclosed are three shareware XFCNs that deal with text in Rich Text Format, which is usually used to transfer documents between word processors while preserving formatting information. These XCMDs allow HyperCard to exchange styled text with such word processors, Microsoft Word in particular. They also allow you to copy styled text from one HyperCard field to another, and to store styled text in variables. These XCMDs only understand the subset of RTF that deals with fonts and styles; they will ignore other formatting commands. The XCMDs only run under HyperCard 2.0 or later. Think C source is included. This is version 1.3, which corrects some bugs in version 1.2. HyperCard
RunOSAScript XFCN 0.72 card/run-osa-script-072.hqx Donald Olson. Bill Johnston 6 Dec 1993 Executes an AppleScript in text form . Here is RunOSAScript XFCN v.0.72 for HyperCard 2.1, by Donald Olson. It was originally included on an AppleScript beta CD; it is being posted and submitted to the net archives with the author's permission. The XFCN accepts an AppleScript in text form as an argument, and executes the script if it is valid. It is probably easiest to write, test, and debug AppleScripts using the Script Editor. See the stack script and "Execute" button scripts for error checks and calling syntax. The AppleScript example uses Finder 7.1.3 for simplicity, but you can use any valid AS commands or scripts that invoke other AppleScriptable software. Requires AppleScript and HyperCard 2.1. AppleScript is included with a tutorial book from BMUG called "The Tao of AppleScript", ISBN 1-56830-075-1. I've heard that there is another Applescript book by Danny Goodman that also includes the AppleScript software; that book may be of interest to people who like Goodman's HyperCard books, and those who intend to use AS with HC.

TIFFWindow1.1 card/tiff-window-11.hqx Janet E Abbate 1 Jul 1993 Displays TIFF image files in a window under Hypercard. TIFFWindow is a shareware XCMD that displays TIFF image files in a window under Hypercard. It understands 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24-bit images, as well as compression. It computes a custom palette when appropriate, so that, for instance, 24-bit images look good on 8-bit monitors. This version, 1.1, adds the ability to read CCITT Group 4 images, and a more convenient zoom/pan interface. TIFFWindow runs on any Mac that can run Hypercard 2, though some features require Color QuickDraw, 32-bit QuickDraw, or System 7. HyperCard
Universal Card Copier card/universal-card-copier.hqx Kevin Forsberg-Lary 2 Dec 1993 Makes cutting and pasting cards from one stack to another real easy. This is the first posting of the Universal Card Copier, a HyperCard stack/utility that makes cutting and pasting cards from one stack to another real easy. You can copy a whole stack, only marked cards, or you can select the cards you want from a list of card names/ids. You can paste them anywhere you want in the stack you are copying to. (e.g. at the beginning, the end or at any point you specify) WARNING/discalimer: This is not the be-all, end-all of stack merging utilities! ALWAYS SAVE a copy of the stack you are copying cards INTO BEFORE attempting to copy any cards into it. This stack uses the HyperCard Menu commands of "Copy Card" and "Paste Card" just as if you were doing it manually. This may or may not be what you want to do when you say you want to "merge" two stacks. If the stacks are dissimilar and you paste a card(s) from one stack into the middle of a different stack, you can break the stack you are copying to since hypercard will create a new background in the middle of the stack and this may cause some scripts to not work correctly. This stack is freeware and may be distributed freely by any and all non-profit groups. Hope someone finds this useful... Kevin Forsberg-Lary HyperCard

CompuCash™ info/compu-cash.hqx Ken Long 11 Dec 1993 Computer-related (mostly Mac) marketable product and service ideas. This is the "post" version of CompuCash™, which I wrote. I decided that people had a dificult time recognizing the value of it without actually seeing it (although some did). This document is most of the "shareware" version and is shareware, as well. So here's my deal: If you read this and like it, are entertained by it, or you realize something about the subject matter you did not realize before (computers, money, etc.), or if you actually do gain by the content of CompuCash™, please help me out by compensating me for my efforts. Be honest - society needs more of honest. I'm asking $20 for my work, here. If you think that's too much, send what you think it is worth. If you do send the $20, I will send you the exclusive information I deleted from the shareware version, which registrants of that version received. That includes the lists of computer-related (mostly Mac) marketable product ideas, and service ideas. They are for things not yet being done or made. Things any registrant may implement and cash in on. This "post version" has some examples, so you can decide if it would be worth a peek at more, with some illustrations (GIF).

VendorDA 1.5 info/vendor-da-15.hqx Bill Baldridge Eric Hoffmann 9 Jul 1993 A listing of Mac vendors with phone/FAX numbers. VendorDA is a listing of 857 vendors of Macintosh, and Macintosh related products, along with their Main, Sales, and Technical Support/FAX numbers. It is intended for everyone, but should be of particular use to those who make a living supporting Macintosh. This release adds 33 new listings, and includes 53 changes/updates to version 1.4. I've included some of the major players in the PC-clone business in this release, for those support providers who may need cross-platform support. If response is good enough, and there are enough changes to justify it, I will continue issuing updates about every three months. With this release I've started including both the color and B&W versions in the same package. It reduces confusion, and makes it easier on those who distribute VendorDA (including myself). If you have a monochrome monitor you should be using v1.41B, because the color version won't display properly. You can also run the B&W version on color monitors, if memory and/or storage are at a premium. System 6 users should use VendorDA as a standard (standalone) application. For System 7 users, I'd recommend putting VendorDA in the Apple Menu Items folder for maximum 'handy-ness.' That's where I keep it. VendorDA is a shareware product. If you use it, and want to see it continue, then send in the small $10 shareware payment. As an additional incentive for those who would like just the data used in building VendorDA, I WILL SEND A TAB-DELIMITED TEXT FILE TO REGISTERED USERS WHO REQUEST THE DATA WITH THEIR SHAREWARE PAYMENT.

Mac/IBM Compare 1.9.0 info/hdwr/mac-ibm-compare-190.txt Bruce Grubb 10 Nov 1993 Latest version of a report comparing Macs & IBMs. This is version 1.9.0 of this report & should replace mac-ibm-compare189.txt. Changes: 486 info updated, Pentium and PowerPC info updated, in two parts. Due to the rapid changes in computers I am interested in contributions from Digest and other readers to flesh out, correct, or point out confusing parts in the report. Send comments and information to CompuServe: 72130,3557; AOL: BruceG6069; or Internet: bgrubb@freedom.nmsu.edu. 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- provoking reading on the relative merits, problems, and deficiencies of Macs and IBM PCs.

MacHistory 11/93 info/hdwr/mac-history-93-11.hqx Harry Phillipo Brian Amira 15 Nov 1993 Chart of Mac comparisons and the history of the Mac. Newest Version of a chart I sent before. Here is the readme: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Mac History, version 11/93. This installment features a new category for date of discontinuation (the biggest request). It also has a correction for the new Quadra 610 8/160 (no FPU, as Apple incorrectly stated it did on its product sheets), and introduction of the new MacintoshTV. Now on to the standard fare... Once again, I have constructed the chart in the Times font only and in PICT format (done in Deneba'a UltraPaint), so most everyone will have it at their disposal. I have also found the secret to making the chart consume less memory, so most graphic programs will open it up with a couple of megs of memory. If you are in a low-memory configuration, you will find Teach Text to work very well. To print with Teach Text, make sure that you print it at about 95% its actual size (Teach Text will make the chart to big because of the way it handles graphics). If you have a laser with the capability of selecting "graphics smoothing" (Apple lasers in the page setup dialog box), use it, as the graphics will lose their bit mapped look and turn out pretty nice. Both a black and white (LaserHistory) and color (ColorHistory) version have been provided. Each is divided into two parts. Please remember what the original intent of this chart was to help inform those that had questions about how different Macs compared. I think I still retain that quality of performance comparisons, while giving a historic sense (timeline if you will) of the Mac universe. If you pass this chart around electronically, please retain this Read Me document with it so others will have the same benefits as you in knowing how to print Mac History. If you have questions, requests, corrections, or would like to comment about Mac History, you can reach me at the following mailboxes... America Online - "Toymaster" Apple Link - "R7103" FidoNet 1:152/42 I hope it brings as much as help and enjoyment as it was fun to make, Harry Phillipo Eugene, Oregon November 10, 1993 Information-Hardware

They brought an 840av 8/230 CD, and a Newton Message Pad!!! The voice rec. is ok, still needs work. You can do finder commands ok, others will have to be scripted....aka trained. There were 6 different personalities, or voices that are included with the system. DSP for audio is like the DSP one would hear in a home stereo, real nice. The video inputs work well, and the capure is better than a Spigot. There is a full s/w package that comes with it...fax, video capture, and the rest....same that was listed in MacWeek. I have uploaded the test results that Speedometer saved in the test files. It is a real nice neat package on the inside too! The award winning design of Apple products is taken to another level. There is little space left except for three nubus 90 cards, a couple of internal HD's, and a CD if needed. Apple is now using a 8 meg. chips, leaving the other 3 slots open. There is oe thing that I found quite strange. There is an interrupt button, but no restart. So if it locks up, and the interrupt won't work, you will have to unplug it. Just thought that you would want to know!! IF u don't get the HQX file, look in sumex for it! Sorry if I pissed anybody off. Akira Information-Hardware

The Performa 410, 460, 466, 467, 475, 476, and 550 will be added soon. The other improvements in version 1.0b5 are: -Filled in the empty "Speedometer speed" field for as many Macs as I could, and provided display and Search support for this field -Divided Help into bite-sized sections, with a pop-up menu to select them -Added more Help info -Fixed an incompatibility with LaserWriter Driver 8.x -Many minor changes, spec additions/corrections, and bug fixes Thanks to the many people who have sent me corrections and suggestions!

Irish Mist Desserts info/nms/mangia-irish-mist-desserts.hqx Byron C. Mayes 21 Nov 1993 Mangia! file containing dessert recipes made with Irish Mist Liqueur. Hello, Mac food lovers! With the hopes of quickly establishing Mangia!, the the first true Mac recipe program, as the Mac standard for recipe exchange, I submit the first in a series of recipe files based upon those free promo booklets that booze makers distribute as advertising (and so we all know that there are other uses for hard liquor than just giving oneself a buzz!). Attached is a small Mangia! file containing all of the recipes found in the booklet, "The Story Behind the Legendary Liqueur," produced by the makers of Irish Mist Liqueur, (c1987, Irish Mist Liqueur). The recipes are desserts made with Irish Mist and they all look pretty darn good. The file contains some ingredients that aren't in the "standard" Mangia! dictionary (and a source, too!), but Mangia! is intelligent enough to update your dictionary on its own. The file is small, so I didn't bother compressing it. It's just binhexed. Enjoy. Byron C. Mayes University of Delaware PS -- My review of Mangia! (for those who asked) is forthcoming.--bc Information-Non Mac Stuff
Jabberwocky vs. Tablespoons RTF info/nms/jabberwocky-tablespoons-rtf.txt Darrah Chavey 6 Dec 1993 Mac RTF file of Jabberwocky vs. Tablespoons. Enclosed is a Macintosh RTF file, suitable for posting on an office door (it's on mine!) of Jabberwocky vs. Tablespoons. These two poems appear side-by-side for ease in comparison. Jabberwocky was posted here twice. Mark Lomas posted three typographical corrections, but his version was missing punctuation and dropped one word ("And" from line 13). The version here has been carefully compared with the book version, including correct typographical em-dashes and apostrophes. (Line indentation has not been preserved, since that made comparison a bit harder.) Tablespoons is the version posted by Robert McNally, as "recognized" by the Apple Newton, save that a "recognition" of "through" as "though" on line 17 has been corrected (I suspect this was a typo on Robert's part; at least I hope so).

I found it on a computer BBS around 10 years ago. While sitting home board one nite I decided to hunt through the Internet and see if I could dig up a copy and relive some old memories. Boy was I suprised, there were so many versions and files I did not know what to do! After hunting through almot all off them I found what seemed the be the most recent final release of one. It is by far the best (allbeit long) of the Purity Tests. The only problem was lack of formatting and a few errors. So, I cleaned it up, removed the errors, formatted it, added a Table of Contents, and saved it to a PostScript file (so any platform could print it) to be printed by anyone who would like a copy of this classic. The enclosed file is a Stuffed & BinHexed PostScript file. Other forms the Purity Test are available upon request for those without a PostScript printer.

Just run the LaserWriter Font Utility (called the LaserWriter Utility in the LaserWriter 8 distribution), choose Download PostScript File... from the Utilities menu, and select the "TidBITS/Caring for Wrists/PS" file.

THE WORLD'S FIRST NOVEL-ON-THE-NET (tm) SHAREWARE!!! By Inter.Pact Press "TERMINAL COMPROMISE" by Winn Schwartau A high tech thriller that comes from today's headlines! TERMINAL COMPROMISE: SYNOPSIS "It's all about the information . . . the information." From "Sneakers" Taki Homosoto, silver haired Chairman of Japan's huge OSO Indus- tries, survived Hiroshima; his family didn't. Homosoto promises revenge against the United States before he dies. His passion- ate, almost obsessive hatred of everything American finally comes to a head when he acts upon his desires. With unlimited resources, he comes up with the ultimate way to strike back at the enemy. Miles Foster, a brilliant 33 year old mathematician apparently isn't exactly fond of America either. The National Security Agency wanted his skills, but his back- ground and "family" connections kept him from advancing within the intelligence community. His insatiable - borderline psychotic- sex drive balances the intensity of waging war against his own country to the highest bidder. Scott Mason, made his fortune selling high tech toys to the Pentagon. Now as a New York City Times reporter, Mason under- stands both the good and the evil of technology and discovers pieces of the terrible plot which is designed to destroy the economy of the United States. Tyrone Duncan, a physically huge 50-ish black senior FBI agent who suffered through the Hoover Age indignities, befriends Scott Mason. Tyrone provides the inside government track and confusion from competing agencies to deal with the threats. His altruistic and somewhat pure innate view of the world finally makes him do the right thing. As Homosoto's plan evolves, Arab zealots, German intelligence agents and a host of technical mercenaries find the weaknesses in our techno-economic infrastructure. Victims find themselves under attack by unseen adversaries; Wall Street suffers debili- tating blows; Ford and Chrysler endure massive shut downs. The U.S. economy suffers a series of crushing blows. >From the White House to the Pentagon to the CIA to the National Security Agency and FBI, a complex weaving of fascinating politi- cal characters find themselves enmeshed a battle of the New World Order. Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll: Tokyo, Vienna, Paris, Iraq, Iran. It's all here. Enjoy reading "Terminal Compromise." Information-Non Mac Stuff

Large Text File Editor info/sft/large-text-file-editors.txt Matti Haveri 6 Dec 1993 Summary of answers to question about editing large text files. I asked what is the best application to view and edit large text-files _without huge amounts of memory_ and with the option to automatically wrap lines longer than the screen _without adding LF/CR_ (auto-wrap)? Search and replace would be nice too. **TeachText** and **TexEdit** have auto-wrap but they can open only <30K files. **SaintEdit** has auto-wrap but it needs much application memory when opening big files. **Edit II** is also memory-hungry with large files. It has auto-wrap-option but there it means that it just inserts CR's at the right margin automatically. It turns out that **BBEdit** is also memory-dependent so it can't open huge files with little available memory. Even though its application memory is only 300K it uses System memory when dealing with large files. BBEdit 2.2.2's manual says: Information-Software

Water marks in MS Word 5.1 info/sft/water-marks-msword51.hqx Andrew E. Scheck 4 Nov 1993 Summary of answers to questions about watermarks. Thanks to those who responded to my "watermark" request. I must not have made myself clear enough that I knew I could do the PostScript method in the header, because I got some responses that said I could do it with PostScript in the header. Some told me where to find the code and some even sent me the code for doing "Draft". My "Draft" example was just so that people knew what I was talking about--I really wanted to be able to use any arbitrary graphic. While again, I know (think) that I could convert the graphic to PostScript and include it in the header, it becomes somewhat more complex because, other than extracting the text from an EPS(F) version of the picture generated by MacDraw Pro or using that capability with the new print drivers, I don't have a good way of generating real, arbitrarily-positionable(?) PostScript code to use in the header. I would really just like to place the picture in the header. Two of the responses I received lead me to believe that this was still possible, although without being able to see the combined image except in the page layout view... Dwight Lemke writes... "... If you want to print to a quickdraw device, you create the watermark in a drawing package, rotate it 45 degrees, and adjust the header so it overprints the text. This WILL appear in page layout view." Tonya Engst writes... "... So, if you want text to overlap some item in Word (4 or 5), you can stick the item in the header and set the top margin (Format/Document) to an exact measurement (you have to set it to exact so that the header doesn't push the text down too far). In Word 5, you can choose exact from a popdown menu; in Word 4, you enter a negative number in the top margin box, say -1 for "exactly one inch." You can then stick postscript code in the header to print a largish, grayed out DRAFT (or whatever text you desire) or you can put a graphic (or a large, bordered, table cell to make a full-page border) or what have you in the header. Word (like most Mac programs :-)) can't do display PostScript, so if you use the PostScript code method - as Andy notes - you can't see the result of the code until you print to a PostScript printer. If you use non-PostScript code - a graphic of some sort perhaps - you are likely to see a decent representation in Print Preview, though not normal or page layout view. Conclusion? For Andy (or anyone like Andy) to solve the problem, you can either: 1. Use a different program... 2. Consider making a graphic having the word DRAFT and placing that in the header. 3. Experiment with frames, but prepare for frustration. ..." Well, after following Tonya's instructions carefully (and not using a "framed" graphic in the header) just positioning the graphic using the ruler, "Format/Section..." and "Format/Document" I was able to get essentially what I wanted: arbitrary graphic, easy positioning and perfect printing (yellow objects come out a nice light gray)--I'm just not able to see both graphic and text simultaneously on the screen. Here is my result ... Information-Software

A Note From the Author --------------------- This project was an accumulation of many hours of trying to learn how to program in NTK. As a fourth year medical student, I was influenced by a need for a quick drug reference during my rotation in outpatient medicine at Touro Infirmary, New Orleans, Louisiana. I wanted something quick and dirty, something that showed me what the drug was and some condensed information. If I want to know the whole biochemical mechanism, I'd look on a CD-ROM!! Initial versions were ambitious but too slow in the real world. After many comments and brain sessions with my cohorts Darwin Liao & Shirley Chen, I refined the initial Idea to what you see here. I hope you find this application helpful. Remember, the drugs that were included on the initial application were chosen arbitrarily. I plan on making them specialty specific, and choosable on the fly in the next major version. This project is constantly being upgraded, and 3 specialty databases are in final production. (Ophthalmology, Psychology, & General Medicine). Please write for more information if you are interested in these soups. All comments and suggestions welcomed.

Registration entitles you to free upgrades in the 1.xx versions as I increase the numbers of formulas supported. Registered users will also be able to have more than 25 entries in the Pediatric and Stat Med references. Registered users of 1.xx will also receive a discount toward upgrading to version 2.0 which will incorporate the ability to save patient lab values. I have no idea when 2.0 will be done. Registered users will also receive NTK source code adding to the “soups” that medicalc accesses. With this code and the Newton Toolkit one can use the computer to enter new medications. WHAT IT DOES: Medicalc calculates values pertinent to patient care using recognized algorithms. It can save you time in the hospital and help you to rationalize the purchase of the your Newton MessagePad. FEATURES: •Chem-7 analysis--calculates osmolality, anion gap, estimated creatinine clearance and, in hypernatremic patients, free water deficit. 1) Osmolality = Na*2 + Glu/18 + BUN/2.8 2) Anion Gap = Na - (Cl+CO2) 3) Estimated Creatinine Clearance = [(140-age)(Weight)] / (72 x Creatinine) 4) Free Water Deficit = 0.6 x Na x Weight / 140 •BSA--Calculates body surface area. BSA = Wt(kg)^0.425 * Ht(cm)^0.725 * 1000 •ANC--Calculates Absolute Neutrophil Count ANC = WBC Count * %PMN's •PedsRx and STAT Rx--Accesses two user configurable drug references. Each of these references shows generic name, trade name, indications, dosing information, formulations and notes. The users has the choice to view sorted entries by generic or trade name. The drug references also let the user set a default guideline for dosing medication based on weight. Note that the number saved is in mg/kg/dose. •IV CALC: A handy calculator for figuring out what rate to set an IV at to deliver medication based on mg/min, mg/hr, mg/kg/min, mic/kg/min, etc. Check it out to see what I’m talking about. Using Medicalc: Using Medicalc is fairly self explanatory. Simply push on the desired buttons and enter text in the blank lines. When adding or editing a drug reference I suggest double tapping on the fields in the screen and using the pop up keyboard to enter drug names since these will not be found in the Newton’s dictionary. New drug entries are saved in the default user store. I strongly recommend using Medicalc and storing entries on a PCMIA card. As Medicalc consumes almost 70k of memory, storage on the Newton’s internal memory is NOT recommended. Of course the best way to enter new drug information is to become a Newton developer and register Medicalc to receive the MediSoup NTK source code. MEDISOUP: This Newton app installs a few demo medications that can be accessed from Medicalc. The information in Medisoup is demonstratory only and comes with no warranties or guarantees of accuracy whatsoever. you can run Medisoup either before or after running Medicalc for the first time.

MicroTimer 1.0 nwt/app/micro-timer.hqx Derrick Schneider 13 Dec 1993 Small floating stopwatch for the Newton. MicroTimer v1.0 by Derrick Schneider Mostly Harmless Software ------------------------ What is it? MicroTimer is a small floating stopwatch for your Newton. I came up with the idea for doing a stopwatch when I was doing some benchmarks on different machines at work. I looked at some of the other available timers and decided they didn't quite meet my needs, so decided to write my own. MicroTimer was born! How does it work? First of all, MicroTimer only counts up from 00:00:00 to whenever you stop it. To start MicroTimer timing, press on the play button. It will then turn into a pause button, which you can use to pause the timer. This then turns into a "play from pause" button to resume timing. The stop button is available at any time. Pressing it once stops the timer, and pressing it twice resets it. The "i" button shows an about box. That's pretty much all there is to it. Features Though those are the basics of MicroTimer, it has some other features. First of all, it can be dragged all over the screen. Not only that, but I've designed it to be as teensy as possible (and still readable). At the insistence of my users, it's flat enough to fit along the blank area of the status line in the note pad, so you can keep it out of your way. It also fits out of the way in Newton books, so that you can be timing while you read. Because of the algorithm it uses, MicroTimer will keep time even when closed or when the system is asleep. Courtesy of Newton's soup technology, MicroTimer will also survive resets, so that you can keep track of time even if you have to restart your Newton. Caveats The algorithm I use for getting the elapsed time is based exclusively on Newton's clock. Ideally, this wouldn't be a problem since the clock would keep perfect time. Alas, such is not the case. If your Newton's clock gets off track, MicroTimer will be affected. This is a trade off for being able to survive resets, sleeps, and closes. Because of some rounding errors in the algorithm, you'll occasionally see the time jump forward two seconds when resuming from a pause. This is a known problem, and I'm working on fixing it. Keep an eye out for 1.1. MicroTimer uses a soup to store its information so that it will survive resets. Apple's suggestion for the proper way to make a soup is to attack every store when the app runs, placing a soup on every store it can. Kind of like a virus. Neat, huh? As a result, you'll see a "Timers" soup (hints of things to come?) if you look at your Newton with some soup manager. Also, Apple doesn't seem to provide a distinction between removing a piece of software with a "Remove Software" button and just taking out the card that the app is on. As a result, I don't clean out any soups that I've made upon being removed, because I have no way of knowing if you're really removing the app or just taking out the card. If I get more info on that, I'll be happy to fix it. Again, keep an eye out for 1.1. Thanks Special thanks go to Peter Linde, who was my first and most devoted tester. It is him you can thank for the fact that MicroTimer is so compact (though he wanted it smaller). He also used the app extensively, and so reported lots of bugs. Thanks also to Tim Holmes, who was my "design tester." Things look clean and act right through his efforts. The cool icon is by Chris Holmes (yes, they are related), one of the best icon artists I've ever seen. Thanks also to Lauren Antonoff for design ideas, Kevin Fox for programming help, and Hans Hansen and David Schwartz for additional testing.

Newton Boy's Demo nwt/app/newtonboy.hqx Joel Bussey 21 Sep 1993 Plays a couple of sounds. My name is Joel Bussey and I am a student at the University of Oklahoma. I work for a company named MicroSynergy in Oklahoma City and I wrote this little package as my first venture with the Newton Toolkit. It doesn't do much but play a couple of sounds. I call it "Newton Boy's Demo" because a friend of mine saw me with the Newton on the first day of classes at the University of Oklahoma and called me "Newton Boy" and that nickname has stuck with me ever since. I include one sound from the "Hamburgler" (from McDonalds--it's kinda' a joke with the MIS students at OU). He'll say "Robble Robble" for you! Enjoy this crazy thing!

TermLimit nwt/app/term-limit.hqx 19 Nov 1993 Limited terminal emulator for the Newton. TermLimit TermLimit is a (very) limited terminal emulator for the Newton. I wrote it so that I could retrieve my unread QuickMail while on the road. TermLimit divides input and output into two onscreen areas: Text Received and Text To Send. Both areas have action buttons for accessing additional commands. In addition, there are a row of buttons across the bottom of the application for additional commands. These are detailed below: ------------------------------------------ Application Buttons ------------------------------------------ From Left to Right: Setup - This button takes you to the Setup screen. Setup options are described later on. Connect - This is represented by the phone icon. Clicking on it will display a popup list of connections. If you are already connected, it will read Disconnect. Macro - Clicking on this button will show a popup list of macros. Clicking an item in this list will result in the selected macro’s text being sent to the connection Return - This is represented by the carriage return icon. Clicking on it will result in a CR being sent to the connection. Send Text - This is represented by the handset icon. Clicking on it will send the text in the Text To Send area to the connection. ------------------------------------------ Text Received Action Button Items: ------------------------------------------ Print & Fax - Print or fax the contents of the received text buffer Copy Receive buffer To Notes - Adds the contents of the received text buffer as a new note to the Notes application Clear Receive Buffer - Clears the receive buffer ------------------------------------------ Text To Send Action Button Items: ------------------------------------------ Clear Send Buffer - Clears the text to send buffer ------------------------------------------ TermLimit Setup ------------------------------------------ Add Connection - Adds a new connection. A new untitled connection will appear in the list. Clicking on the connection will display its settings. You can set the name of the connection, whether it is a modem or serial connection, if its a modem connection you can set its phone number, if its a serial connection you can set a string to transmit on connecting, and a baud setting. Note: This version of TermLimit will only connect at 2400 baud, all other settings are ignored. Remove Connection - Displays a popup list of connections. Choosing a connection from the popup list will delete it Add Macro - Adds a new macro. A new untitled macro will appear in the list. Clicking on the macro will display its settings. You can set the name of the macro and the text to transmit when the macro is used. Note that the macro text can contain carriage returns and be longer than is displayed onscreen. Remove Macro - Displays a popup list of macros. Choosing a macro from the popup list will delete it ------------------------------------------ Notes ------------------------------------------ TermLimit can miss characters during connections and will also sometimes not update its display with text it has received. It will lose text sometimes during heavy text reception. Text updates problems usually happen just before a prompt. For best results, dont use TermLimit with text intensive BBSs and try to use it with BBSs whose commands are familiar to you so that if it doesnt show the command line with the options, you still know what key to choose. Also, set up macros for all your frequently entered commands, passwords, name, etc. It sure beats trying to handwrite. Even with these limitations, it works pretty well for logging into QuickMail or similar connections. If you cant live with these limitations then please buy one of the commercial solutions when they become available. This is not a commercial product nor will it ever be. There are excellent solutions in the pipeline from others (Ex Machina and CE Software) which will hapefully work with less problems. In the meanwhile, this will give you a taste of what the Newt will be like when it gets some serious communications capabilities. Newton-Applications

Bomber nwt/dev/bomber-source.hqx Mark Dalrymple 21 Sep 1993 Simple first Newton program. Bomber -- an executive nuclear conflict initiator. (LBE #2) Written my Mark Dalrymple, Lone Badger Enterprises. CIS 72260,1077 (72260.1077@compuserve.com) This code is in the Public Domain. Welcome to Bomber -- a tiny program of questionable taste. It presents three radio buttons, an editable text field, and a push button. The buttons are labeled "Moscow", "Washington DC", and "Other" where you can write in anything you want to. When you push the button, (or TV's Frank pushes the button for you), a floating window pops up saying that the indicated city won't bother you any more. Why on Earth would an ordinarily compassionate and sane person write something like this? Over the last 12 years, the first program I've written for many computer systems and programming environments has been Bomber -- a childhood weirdism gone horribly wrong. I now have versions of Bomber in Apple II, Commodore 64 and IBM PC BASIC (both GW and Turbo), Mac Toolbox, MacApp, X11, Looking Glass Advantage, Galaxy, and now NewtonScript/NTK. As such, it's probably not Ideal Newton Code, but it does function, and perfroms good error handling (i.e. trying to Nuke something when no cities are selected, or nothing is written in the text field) and I believe that it's fairly well commented. The an interesting part of this was getting the icon into the project. You need to have a named PICT resource in a resource file, and add that resource file to your project. This PICT will thenappear in the Project->Settings... menu item. OBTW, Since ResEdit doesn't have a PICT editor but it does have an ICON editor, I used the ICON editor to make the icon and copied it into the PICT. I left the ICON in the resource file for reference. It's not directly used by NTK. Files in this distribution: Bomber.t -- Template for the main bomber window Bomber.Confirm.t -- Template for a transient window Bomber.rsrc -- Resource file containing the package's icon. Bomber.π -- The NTK Project file Bomber.π.pkg -- The downloadable packge Bomber.ReadMe -- This RELLIE_KOOL file. Enjoy, and I look forward to subjecting the world to more Newton-based programs. (I promise to make the next one more interesting and tasteful than Bomber) Newton-Development

Guitar Tuner Source nwt/dev/guitar-tuner-source.hqx john calhoun 19 Nov 1993 Pretty simple and straightforward project. This is a pretty simple and straightforward project. You may note that: - the app is draggable - it plays sounds - the icon animates The Project Data contains a specific path-name for loading the sounds. If you wish to compile this project, you will need to change those path-names to correspond to the path on your own machine. I don't think it will allow certain meta-characters in the path-name. I had a folder that had a "ƒ" character in its name and NTK couldn't walk the path apparently. john calhoun- Newton-Development
HI Toolkit 1.0 nwt/dev/hi-toolkit-10.hqx Trygve Isaacson 1 Nov 1993 Set of templates for designing Newton interfaces. Newton HI Toolkit Enclosed is my Newton Human Interface Toolkit. It is a set of templates for designing Newton interfaces. It probably belongs in newton/dev. The contents have been virus-checked with Disinfectant 3.2. The enclosed file is a Compact Pro self-extracting archive that has been BinHexed. The following text is in the readme file: ----------------------- Newton Human Interface Toolkit by Trygve Isaacson v1.0 10/28/93 Nothing fancy--this is just a couple of MacPaint documents containing a bunch of the Newton human interface elements in what I believe to be accurate dimensions. There is no real trick to creating this stuff, but it is pretty tedious, so I hope this will make it easier for you to sketch out your Newton ideas.

Internals Source nwt/dev/internals-source.hqx Theo Heselmans 1 Nov 1993 Extension of ProtoTextLists. When first starting Newton development I fiddled around with some basic principles, like lists. ProtoTextLists seemed pretty interesting, but I the sample was a little too simple. So I extended this code a little, cleaned it up and discovered/learned a lot during this work. I must say though that I wrote this a month ago, did some major Newton development after that, relooked at the code again yesterday, and cut at least one third of the code and slots ! I hereby give this code away for free, not because it's a great wonderful tool (far from), but because it might give other novices some help. If more people would share their code, the whole developer community could benefit from it. Don't worry if you doubt your code isn't clean (I'm sure mine isn't), just put it on CIS or AppleLink. Some standard legal issues : Beware: this code is not thoroughly tested. It very probably contains serious bugs. Use it at your own risk. This sample code is free. Please play with this code, use ideas from it, and incorporate it into your own projects without any restrictions. Vers a Versa is a small startup company in Belgium, getting pretty interested in Newton development. We have already 2 Newton projects assigned to us, and getting along quite well, thanks to the great support for the whole Pie team.

Thanks! +===========================================================================+ | [MinMax][Keyboards] +--------------+ [del->] [bullet] [<-del] [info] | | | keyboard | [tab] [space] [return] | | [Extras][Styles] +--------------+ [left] [right] [close] | +===========================================================================+ F E A T U R E S: * ICONIFICATION: The MinMax button will let you hide away the keyboard when you don't need it and pop it back when you do. The MinMax button looks like a little square attached to a bigger square. * REMEMBERED LOCATIONS: The floating keyboard and icon locations are remembered for consistancy. To move the keyboard or icon, drag the border. * POPUP EXTRAS: The Extras button which looks like a file folder will let you access your applets and the builtin extras conserving screen space. Just click for a list of applets or press and hold until you hear the "poof" sound and release for the builtins. * REPEATING KEYS: Delete, Space and the Left/Right keys all repeat after a delay. Just keep holding the key to start multiple deletes, etc. If you undo after this operation, >all< changes are restored! * MULTIPLE KEYBOARDS: Current keyboards include punctuation, numeric elements and the alphabet. To the right of the minimize button, the Keyboards button leads you to a list of keyboard alternatives. Send in your ideas for new keyboards. The keyboards button looks like a stack of keyboards, a filing cabinet or a triple domino depending on the time of day and degree of inebriation. * TIMESTAMP: A special timestamp keyboard lets you mark the date and time. * DIRECT ACCESS TO STYLES: The Styles button, next to the folder, gives you immediate access to the styles slip. Super convenient! The styles button looks like a set of line widths with a check next to them. * MOVEMENT AND EDIT KEYS: A standard palette appears next to the keyboard supporting forward and backward delete, superbullet (bullet, return, space), tab, space,. return, move left and move right. * KITCHEN SINK (forthcoming: version 0.999) ================================================================================ * RELEASE NOTES * 1.0 RELEASE NOTES 1. Added in forward delete 2. Added in time stamp 3. Added in Bullet "macro" 4. Reordered some of the standard keys 0.5 RELEASE NOTES 1. The return key points left rather than down as per standard keyboard. 2. The parentheses keys now work correctly in the numbers keyboard. 3. Delete, space and left/right now repeat after a delay. 4. Repeated deletes can be undone as one operation. 0.4 RELEASE NOTES 1. I figured out how to shrink protokeyboards (set saveBounds rather than viewBounds) so the caret is now implemented. 2. You can move left and right (but not yet up and down) non-destructively. I used Unicodes FS and GS but still haven't found the right ones for the UP/DOWN... 3. Keyboards now include (a) standard (b) short movement/delete/etc (c) numeric (d) alphabet. If you have ideas for others send 'em to me. User custom kbds are still in the future. 4. The script "i" leads directly to the styles dialog. 5. Click on the folder pick from user applets. Press and hold on the folder, releasing when you hear "poof" and you will get the builtins and books. 6. Common keyboard functions: (tab, delete, left, right, space, return) have their own palette area to the right of the keys. 7. The multiple keyboard icon has changed to "stack of keyboards". (Use your imagination. 0.3 RELEASE NOTES 1. Multiple keyboards are supported, even if the alternate ones are pretty dumb. The heavy [+] button gets you there. [CHANGED in 0.4 to the keyboard stack] 2. Popup menus get you extra applets and builtins. The folder button goes to user added apps, the file cabinet gets you the builtin ones [Changed in 0.4]. 3.

MacsHex nwt/dev/macshex-source.hqx Mac Foster 21 Sep 1993 Four-function, 32-bit hex calculator. MacsHex is a four-function, 32-bit hex calculator. MacsHex is a little simpler than Howard Oakley's SciCalc and hopefully a little easier for the beginning Newton programmer to follow. The only thing the least bit tricky about it is compensating for the Newton's lack of 32-bit integers (30 bits only). All calculations are performed on real numbers and coerced modulo 2**32 to the correct range. If you don't like the key placement, or would like to add memory or shift operations...have at it!

Object Viewer 0.92 nwt/dev/objview-092-source.hqx Robert P. Munafo 21 Sep 1993 Newton application intended mainly for programmers. Documentation for RPM's Object Viewer, version 0.92 1993 August 21 What is it? The Object Viewer is a Newton application intended mainly for programmers. It displays the contents of objects in Newton's memory, and provides several ways to jump from one object to another. It is a floating window which is half the height of the screen, and can therefore be used to examine the activities of other Newton programs while they are running. Basic Instructions ================== - Main list shows up to ten items; each is a frame slot or array element. Tap on an item to jump to that object. For binary objects, the display shows 80 bytes of data in hex and ASCII format. - Top two lines of display show the path taken to get to the current object, the object's class, memory address, and size (slots/elements/bytes). - Use the scroll arrows to view more slots, elements, or bytes of the current object. If you scroll continuously by holding the pen on the scroll arrow, it scrolls by larger and larger amounts. - Tap the Undo button to go back to the object you were looking at before the recentmost jump. - Tap the Recent button in the Viewer window to see a list of the ten most-recently-viewed objects; then tap on one to jump to that object. - The Home button jumps to the rootView object (the object that is displayed when the Viewer is opened). - The Update button updates the display to reflect changes (if any) in the currently-viewed object. - The Viewer is nondestructive -- it does not allow you to change any objects in memory. In normal operation it will not cause any objects to change except objects which belong to it, and a few system objects like the undo list. - The Info icon in the lower left jumps to an object that contains information about the ObjViewer program (author, copyright, etc.) Notes, features, oddities, etc: =============================== - The second line (info line) shows: The object's class, a "@" for modifiable objects or a "!" for non-modifiable objects, the object's virtual memory address, and the object's size (bytes, slots, or elements). For frames, the info line also indicates the position of the view within the frame, for example "8/27 slots" to indicate that there are 27 slots and the display currently starts with slot number 8. - The title line (the boldface line at the top) shows the "path" that was used to get to the current object. For example, after jumping to slot "_Parent", then to slot "AvailablePrinters", then to array element 1, then to slot "imagingName", the title line might say: ...ent.AvailablePrinters[1].imagingName the beginning of the path is cut off because the most recent information is at the end, and this is usually the most useful. - When you jump to an object, the name of the slot or element that you chose gets added to the end of the title line. However, if your jump takes you to an object you've visited recently, the title line will display the path that was used the first time that object was visited. - If you hold the pen on a scroll arrow for continuous scrolling, it will scroll in increasingly large jumps. This allows you to quickly go to a desired point in a really large binary object. Of course, it may skip over the point you're trying to get to; when this happens you have to stop scrolling for a moment, then start again (it will restart at the original slow rate). - If you re-visit an object that you have visited recently, the Object Viewer shows it at the same scroll position that it had when you left it. - Most of the data in the notepad, datebook, and names file are not in the dynamic object memory, and cannot be displayed using the Viewer. This information is stored in soups, which are seperate from the object memory and are compressed. - ObjViewer trivia #1: When you tap the "?" icon, it shows a little online help. What it's actually doing is visiting an object within its own _proto frame (this is mainly done to avoid making extra copies of the text into in the formContext frame, which is what would happen if conventional online help methods were used.) - ObjViewer trivia #2: When you tap the "Recent" button, it shows you the contents of the "recentList" object in ObjViewer's formContext frame, but with path titles for labels. This object does not itself end up in the recent list, unless you select an item from the recent list and then hit Undo (to return to the recent list). When you do this, the recent list is shown in its "raw" representation, and it is added to the recent list. The title will be something like "ObjViewer.recentList(@12:34pm)" indicating that you are visiting an ObjViewer recent list that existed at some time in the past (the current recent list is now different). You can visit this recentList later and use it to get to items that have already disappeared off the current recentList (but if you really feel you have to do this, let me know and I'll just make the recentList longer!). - The hex displays look somewhat ragged, due to the use of a proportional font (Simple 9 a.k.a. Geneva 9). There are no monospace fonts on the Newton and I do not wish to plot characters one at a time for proper spacing. Maybe eventually I'll figure out how to get my own font onto the Newton. A Guided Tour ============= This section leads you through a sample Viewer session, showing how it is useful for Newton developers. It also serves as a partial introduction to the organization and function of the more important system objects. If you've already done some Newton programming then you probably won't learn anything new from this section. We will use the Calculator as an example "target program". If the Viewer is open, close it; then open the Calculator and re-open the Viewer (this puts the Viewer in front). Relocate them so you can use both easily (I find that Calculator lower-right and Viewer upper-left works pretty well.) To drag the Viewer, grab it by the gray border or anywhere in the top two lines of text. At the top of the Viewer window is a line that says "GetRoot()". This line is referred to as the CURRENT PATH. It displays the canonical name of the object currently being viewed, which is the "System Root View" -- the View which contains everything on the screen. Programs get this object by calling the builtin function GetRoot(). The second line says something like "Frame@04406781;0/118 slots"; the numbers will differ on your Newton. This is the INFO LINE, and it tells you several important things about the current object; for now we'll just note that the current object is a frame and has 118 slots. Below the info line are ten lines of labels followed by various kinds of information. This is the CONTENT SECTION. Since we are viewing a frame, each line corresponds to a slot of the frame. The first ten slots are currently visible. Each line contains the name of the slot followed by a colon ":" and a brief description of what the slot contains. For example, look at the line that says "calculator: {..12..}" (perhaps with a different number between the ....'s). This indicates that the current object has a slot called "calculator" and that its value is a frame with 12 slots. (The number of slots will be more if you have performed some operations on the calculator.) Select this object by tapping on its line. The Viewer now changes its display to show that object. The current path changes to "GetRoot().calculator", the numbers in the info line change, and the entire content section changes to show 10 slots from the calculator frame. Find the content line which says "paper: [..30..]". This is an array with 30 elements. Select it. Now the display shows the calculator.paper array. The info line has changed to "Array@0440A851; 30 elements", indicating that the current object is an Array and that it has 30 elements. Unless you have done a lot of operations on the Calculator since opening it, the content section will show ten lines of "$" symbols. Scroll to the end of the paper array by clocking the down arrow three times. Each time you tap the arrow, the display moves down eight lines (showing eight new lines and two old lines). Now use the Calculator a bit; add a few numbers together. When a few numbers have scrolled up the calculator's window, tap the "update" button in the Viewer. The content section will change to reflect changes in the calculator.paper array. As you can see, this array contains strings representing the current contents of the calculator's "paper tape". The Calculator supports scrolling, and it keeps the last 30 items in this array. (Note that the Calculator won't scroll right now because the Viewer is in front, and it gets all of the scroll commands). Tap on one of the strings. The path will be "GetRoot().calculator.paper[27]" (with a different number, perhaps). The content section shows the string's text followed by the string's representation in memory. Since the Newton is a Unicode machine, every character takes two bytes (and in this display, each byte is shown as two hex digits). Characters in the ASCII character set have the same codes as in ASCII, but there is an extra "0" byte in the high half of each word. At this point, we're at a "dead end" -- we're looking at an object that has no slots or elements to select. The most convenient thing to do this point is to hit the Undo button, which will take you back to calculator.paper. Then hit Undo again to get to GetRoot().calculator. At this point Undo won't take you any further (try it). It happens that at this point we can select the slot called "_Parent" to get back to the GetRoot() object. Because the calculator is a child view of the root view, it has a _Parent slot which points back to the root view. Try it now if you like. Another way to get back to the root view is to use the Recent button. Try it now. The Viewer will show a list of the objects you've visited so far. It will look something like this: Last 4 objects viewed: ___________________________________ GetRoot() GetRoot().calculator.paper[28] GetRoot().calculator.paper GetRoot().calculator If you have looked at other objects, they too will appear in the list, and if you have re-visited old objects the order will be different. The last item in the list is the current object, and the second-to-last item is the previous object. Before that the order will vary depending on when you last visited particular objects. For now, just select "GetRoot().calculator". Now look at a floating-point number: find the "value" slot and select it. The display will now show the value on the Calculator's display and its representation in memory. Reals in the Newton are stored in 64-bit IEEE format. If you enter a different number in the Calculator's display, then tap Update, the display will not change. The reason is that the Calculator creates a new object for the "value" slot each time the value changes. The ObjViewer still has a pointer to the old object, so when you tap update the display doesn't change. To see the new value, return to GetRoot().calculator (by tapping Undo) and look at the "value" slot. If you change the calculator's value several times, and re-visit the value slot each time, several copies of the value slot get placed in the Viewer's recent list. The reason is that each value is a distinct object of type "Real" in the Newton's memory, and the Viewer is holding them in memory by keeping them in its recent-list. This doesn't fill up memory because when the recent list gets full, the oldest object gets removed from the list. When the old "calculator.value" objects get removed in this way, they no longer have anything pointing to them and the Newton OS deletes them from memory. Go back to GetRoot().calculator and find the "base" slot. Its entry says "base: SELF {..20..}". This slot points to GetRoot().calculator itself (try it -- when you tap it the view doesn't change). It is common for Newton frames to contain a pointer to themselves; ObjViewer identifies them as such. Here are some examples of other types of objects that you might find interesting: A sound: GetRoot()._proto._proto.scrollUpSound The "samplingRate" slot indicates that the sound is to be played at 11,013.22 samples per second. The "samples" slot contains the actual digitized sound samples. (The display is particularly ragged because of the large number of E and F digits in the hex; see my note in the previous section). A font: GetRoot()._Parent.fonts._proto.geneva Newton uses TrueType fonts for on-screen rendering. The "plainData" slot contains the TrueType font data, but although its class is "sfnt" it does not appear to be the same as a Macintosh "sfnt" resource or a Windows TrueType font. (This might be related to Unicode.) An icon: GetRoot().trash._proto.icon The "bits" slot points to the image, and the "mask" slot points to the mask (analagous to an icon mask on the Macintosh). A NewtonScript code block: GetRoot()._proto.viewSetupChildrenScript This is an example of a non-generic frame: a frame whose class is not "Frame". There is a slot called "instructions" which is a non-generic binary object; it contains 79 bytes of "P-code". There is a "literals" slot, a non-generic array, containing 25 literals (constants used by the code). There is also a list of arguments and local variables in the "argFrame" slot (in this example there are no arguments or locals; the three slots _nextArgFrame, _Parent, and _implementor are always present). A C function reference: GetRoot()._proto._proto.SyncScroll The "funcPtr" slot is the memory address of the C++ code for the "SyncScroll" function. "numArgs" indicates that the function takes 3 arguments. The Viewer itself: GetRoot().extrasDrawer.viewChildren[21] The number "21" in this path will depend on ObjViewer's position in the Extras drawer. You know you've found the right one if the "app" slot is 'ViewerRPMSym. The "theForm" frame contains the template for the application (including all the code); it and all of its slots are non-modifiable. The "formContext" frame contains the variables. Newton team members' names: GetRoot().theGang._proto.authors This array contains the text displayed by the Assist "About Newton" Easter egg. Revision History ================ Version 0.92, 1992 Aug 21 (posted to BCS) - Fix bug: Undo just after opening Object Viewer would show a NIL object with no title. - Fix bug: Recent would say "Last 10 objects viewed:" even when there were less than 10 items in the list. - Fix bug: Undo just after selecting an item from the Recent list would show an old recent list with an incorrect title. Made it into a feature by passing an appropriate title to the Undo system. - When viewing a real, it now shows the real's value along with its hex. - Scrolling: add "acceleration" feature. - It no longer takes time to update the view if you scroll up when already at the top, or down when already at the bottom. - Add fields to "?" button's display, and point it at the _proto entry to avoid copying text in memory.

RPM Demo1 Source nwt/dev/rpm-demo1-source.hqx Robert P. Munafo 21 Sep 1993 Sample Newton program as an example for aspiring Newton programmers. README for Newton program "RPMDemo1" Robert P. Munafo, 1993 August 29 RPMDemo1 is a sample Newton program posted in source form as an example for aspiring Newton programmers. It demonstrates techniques for the following: - Show two floaters (protoFloatNGo views) - Each floater allows the user to input text by writing in a protoInputLine field inside the floater. + Each floater can be dragged by starting at any point in the floater that is not inside the protoInputLine. * When dragged, the floater moves to the front and the other objects on the screen are redrawn properly. - When information in either floater is changed, the main view updates its display. Specifically, the text entered in the first floater is repeated N times, where N is determined by a number entered in the second floater. - Input fields use two undocumented font styles (tsCondense and tsShadow). Item "+" was non-trivial. The typical approach (using a viewClickScript in the floater's template to do the dragging) doesn't work because it ends up catching clicks that come from the protoInputLine; this causes the protoInputLine to drag and to not accept written input. The solution to that was to use the protoStaticText field, a sibling of the protoInputLine, to catch clicks and pass a Drag message to its parent. The proper redrawing (item "*") was by far the most non-intuitive. Simply creating two protoFloatNGo views and allowing them to be dragged doesn't work -- whichever view is in front gets drawn properly all the time, but the other floater doesn't get drawn properly if it is partly covered by the first floater and is then dragged. The solution for this is to bring the floater to the front before dragging. This is accomplished by the following: theFloater:Hide(); theFloater:Show(); theFloater:Dirty(); RefreshViews(); The last two lines can be left out if you have defined a viewEffect for your floater. To illustrate the difference between a viewEffect and the Dirty()/RefreshViews() method, the two floaters are done in two different ways. The text floater ("Say what?") uses viewEffect, and the number floater ("How many times?") uses Dirty()/RefreshViews(). You will probably notice that the "Say what?" floater responds faster. Useful things to note: - The word and count are remembered when you close and re-open the application (but not across reboots) because the application's view frame stays in memory. However, all child views are deleted -- so it does not remember the positions of the floaters. - The function which generates the text by repeating the word N times uses a log(N) algorithm for speed. The method used is to start with a single occurrance of the word, then to repeatedly double and add one if the next bit in the count is set. It's kind of analagous to the "Russian peasant" multiplication method. (If I had used a simple "for i:=1 to count do" loop it would have been *much* slower when the count is in the hundreds or thousands.) - I have tried the undocumented "condensed" font style with different sizes, and it doesn't seem to work. It works with 14, though, probably because 14 is available as a "bitmap font" in the Newton. This is probably why the condensed style is not documented. Newton-Development

Souped-Up lets you browse through any Soup entry by entry, independent of the soups structure. A few Notes: __________ -Big entries can't be displayed completely because of some problems during concatination (running out of memory). It's mentioned at the bottom of the Entry. any help on this is very welcome ! -Some slot cant be displayed and are shown as <Unknown 'PrimeClass', 'Class'>. This at least gives you some idea of the content. If you have ideas as how to display them, tell me ! -The higher the level, the deeper you dig into a frame or array. But then also the first note applies! -The Soup popups can be pretty long (specially the Card soups), so not all Soups can be selected. These menus can not scroll. The next version probably includes a scrolling list. -I know this tool can be greatly enhanced (like e.g. add a command menu with : delete, duplicate, edit,...), but I will only start doing this if there's enough demand. -Some other Soup tools exist (Slurp, Souper, Pour, StewPot), but I believe this one has it's own value (at least I hope). ___________ Thanks to Matthew Dixon Cowles, from whom I borrowed some ideas in his 'Pour' code.

Souper 1.1 Source nwt/dev/souper-11-source.hqx Stephen Rose 1 Nov 1993 Soup Manager for the Newton. Souper Version 1.1 - Soup Manager of the Newton™ -------------------------------------------------------------- As I began to work with, and develop software for the Newton™, I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't clear out a file ("Soup") easily. I had to delete each record ("Entry") individually, so I started to write an application that would clear out a Soup. Once I got started, I began to add other things to my 'wish list' and the package you now have grew out of that list. Within the Souper application you have the ability to select the "Store" on which you want to work and the Soup you wish to operate on. You may rename a given Soup, Delete to entire Soup, Clear all entries out of a Soup, or get information about a Soup. The functions Rename,Remove,Clear, and Duplicate operate as you would expect. The Information function returns the number of entries in a Soup, the total size of all entries within the Soup, and a list of all the indices over that Soup. At present, that is all that is available in this function, however, I intend to add the ability to create new Indexes, remove old Indexes, or view/edit individual entries within the Soup. Bugs Fixed : 1. Souper was preventing you from seeing the last Soup in a Store. This has been fixed. 2. Souper was returning a count of one object in an empty Soup. This has been fixed. Known Bugs: 1. If you try to duplicate a soup using the same name and in the same Store, a warning message appears. This message disappears and doesn't clear all of its self off the display. Note: I have included the files for Souper with the application, but they should not be taken as examples of good programming technique. However, I would greatly appreciate any comments you wish to make, as it will help me in my attempts to program follow-on applications. Now for the standard warning : This software is provided with NO warranties expressed or implied. I DO NOT warranty this software to be free from errors, and you use it at your own risk. This software has been released as "Shareware", that means that you may make use of the software, and distribute it to any other user.

24 nwt/game/24.hqx Erica Sadun 1 Nov 1993 Large number of puzzles. 24 This game consists of a very large number of puzzles. You are presented with four digits. Your job is to make the number 24 out of the digits using only addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. For example: 5 9 2 2 can be solved as ((9 + 5) - 2) * 2. Or: 8 1 9 3 can be solved as 1 * 8 * (9/3). The puzzles are presented in flashcard form only: there is no direct interaction with the game. However, you >can< drag the current flashcard around the screen. If you give up, press the "answer key" and see one of the valid answers. You can press the "new puzzle key" until you find a puzzle to your liking. Hope you enjoy it. I find it to be a good travel game.

Black Box 1.0 nwt/game/black-box.hqx Christopher Colapietro 7 Oct 1993 Game based on the old Parker Brothers board game of the same name. Black Box 1.0 for the Newton By Christopher Colapietro 10/6/93 Black Box for the Newton is a game based on the old Parker Brothers board game by the same name. It's one of my all-time favorite strategy games, and I've implemented it on several other platforms. The rules take a little time to learn, but once you get them down, it's a pretty simple game. Be sure to look at the help sheet enclosed for a good set of samples. The premise: There are a number of balls hidden on an 8x8 grid. You must try to find them by firing rays into the grid and observing if and where the ray exits the grid. The balls cause the ray to either stop if it hits one, or to bounce ninety degrees if the ray passes to the side of a ball. By examining the results, you must try to determine the locations of the balls in the least time and fewest nuber of shots possible. To start: Select the number of balls to be hidden on the grid. You may choose between 2 and 8. The original board game used 4. Six or more becomes fairly difficult, and can result in arangements which are unsolveable without some amount of guesswork. Press the new game button when ready to begin. Note: the number of balls cannot be changed during a game. To Play: There are 32 squares surrounding the grid (8 per edge) called the edge squares. To fire a ray into the grid, tap (a quick tap...) the edge square. A marker will be placed in the edge square (and possibly in another as well) to indicate the results of firing the ray. There are three possible outcomes - 1) the ray hits a ball head on - it is absorbed, and a gray marker is placed on the edge square. 2) The ray comes out at another square on the edge. A pair of white markers with unique markings is placed in the entry and exit edge square 3) the ray exits the board in the same edge square from which it was fired - it is reflected, and a light gray marker with a U-turn shape is placed in the edge square from which the ray was fired. While in the grid, the ray's path is affected by the balls hidden in the grid. If the ray encounters a ball directly in its path, the ray gets absorbed and stops. If the ray encounters a ball diagonally to the right or left of its path of travel, the ray will bounce 90 degrees away from the ball. A ray may bounce multiple times before it exits the grid or gets absorbed. If a ray bounces before it gets into the grid, it is considered to be reflected (this happens when a ball is hidden on the outermost edge of the grid). As you gather information, you can mark where you think the balls are by touching the grid to toggle a ball on and off. You may only place as many balls as are hidden - if you have placed all of the balls, you must remove one before placing it elsewhere. When you think you have placed all of the balls correctly, press the guess button. Your guess will be evaluated and scored. If you placed a ball incorrectly, an X will be draw through it, and a ball with a spot on it will be drawn in the correct position. Note: There is a noticeable pause after you hit the guess button while the newton evaluates your guess - I am trying to find a way to speed this up. Your score is based on the number of balls hidden, the amount of time taken, how many ball you guessed correctly, and how many shots (of the number possible - it changes depending on the board because exit rays cover two edge squares) you took. If you guess all of the balls correctly, the game will display the paths of the rays in the background until you quit or start a new game. You can test your theories before guessing by touching and holding down in an edge square - this will draw the path that a ray would take according to the way you have placed the balls on the grid. The end point of the ray will be drawn as a circle. Remember: This shows the path according to the balls you have placed, NOT according to the balls hidden in the grid!!! This is a good way to learn how the rays interact with the balls - try just setting some up & playing with different combos. Don't get confused by all the different shapes on the white makers - they are only there so you can tell which pairs go together. This game is free. Pass it around, but try to always include both teach-text documents with it,as it is fairly useless without them unless you already know the game. If you like it, send me a note on Applelink, or if you have more motivation than that send me a postcard for my collection. Any comments, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated.

Boppin’ nwt/game/boppin.hqx Jeremy Wyld 25 Oct 1993 Simple game for the Newton. Boppin' is just a simple app that I threw together over the course of the past week (less than 20 hrs all together). Feel free to pass and copy it around. BEWARE: If you get to caught up in the game, you can ruin your screen by tapping too hard. So, be careful. The program when being played uses the idle script. This will cause extra use of your batteries. Once your game is over the idle scripts are cleared so that it stops sucking your battery dry. It does not go extremely fast, but it is noticable. Please email me for suggestions or just to let me know you got it (I want to see how far it goes).

Incoming! 0.99.0b nwt/game/incoming-099b.hqx Michael L. Dupuis 28 Oct 1993 Newton game, based on Missle Command. This is a game developed for the Newton MessagePad that features arcade-like animation. Incoming! 1993 Gravity. All Rights Reserved. Incoming! is released as freeware, but is not public domain. This release is 0.99.0b. Incoming! was created as a design and programming test on the Newton. Basically what we wanted to do was see what kind of things could be done with arcade-like animation. This game is more of a programming demo for us then anything else, but we thought other people might find it entertaining. Premise: Based on Missile Command, your mission is to defend your cities from waves of ICBM's. This is accomplished with the defense missiles you have. Because of tracking stations already destroyed in the war, you can only track two of your missiles at once. This means you'll have to choose your shots wisely. You can't let the enemy missiles get too close, or you won't be able to detonate one of your defense missiles. Enemy missiles are intercepted by being caught in the nuclear cloud formed when you detonate one of your defense missiles. Anything caught in these clouds is evaporated. The enemy has ICBM's and Smart Bombs in their arsenal. Smart Bombs know how to avoid the nuclear clouds, so unless your shot is timed correctly, you won't destroy them. Your mission is to defend your cities as long as you can. G R A V I T Y Newton-Games

Morpion nwt/game/morphion.hqx Henri Lamiraux 7 Oct 1993 Simple solitaire game. Enclosure: MorpionFile.PKG Morpion is a simple solitaire game I used to play on paper when I was a kid. Over the years I have been programming it on various platforms I have been in contact with. This is usually the first application I write to familiarize myself with a new system or language. The goal of Morpion is to draw as many line segments as possible. A segment can be drawn by using five existing dots or by adding a fifth dot to four existing dots. In the latest case, the position of the missing dot doesn’t matter. It can be at the beginning, at the end, or in the middle of the segment . To add a new segment, simply draw a line between the first and the last dot composing the segment. The missing dot (if there is one) will be automatically added. Segments can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The two arrow buttons allow you to go back and forth (like an unlimited undo). With some practice you should be able to go above 100. I used to be able, after many years of practice, to go around 200. This application is a freeware and can be distributed freely but should not be sold. Have fun.

Newton Gripe ’N’ Bug 1.1 Part 2 nwt/info/newt-gripe-n-bug-11-part-2.txt Eric Shapiro 6 Oct 1993 Collection of Newton bug, gripe reports and wishes for the future. Part 3: Gripes ============== Things that, while not necessarily bugs, can be annoying. Hardware -------- It seems to be pretty easy to put a nice scratch on the top layer of the screen. All it takes is to pick up a little bit of sand or grit with the pen. There should be an easy way to replace the top layer of the screen (if not user-installable, it should be an easy job for a dealer). The plastic socket on the back of the Newton that allows it to attach to the carrying case is pretty flimsy on the early units. Apparently Apple is using a better one now. If you ever take your unit in for repair, you can ask for it to be replaced. (Information from Eric Shapiro). Newton-Information

Newton Q&A List 1.1 part 2 nwt/info/newt-q-n-a-list-11-part-2.txt Paul R. Potts 6 Oct 1993 Opinions, comments, and speculation about the Newton. Newton Part 2: Impressions ========================== This section combines opinions, comments, and speculation. I tried a Newton for ten minutes at a store. It was awful! ---------------------------------------------------------- David Sternlight (strnlght@netcom.com) said it better than I could: "Apple's problem is that that's the way the Newton works. It needs 2-3 weeks to train itself properly (and, to some extent to subtly train you) so that its perfomance is tailored to the way you write and operate, and you learn its little quirks... In-store demos, particularly of recognizing a potential buyer's handwriting, are doomed to be disappointing or worse (if the machine is set up so that the last twelve Charlies have thoroughly confued the Newton as to what writing style it's expected to recognize... Thus, Apple needs to find a way to sell the Newton almost 'on faith.' That's not an easy trick, but if anyone can pull it off Apple can. Remember Newton-Information

AddToDict 1.02 nwt/util/add-to-dict-102.hqx Richard Northcott 19 Nov 1993 Application that allows multiple additions to the User Dictionary. About AddToDict ——————————————— Preamble: The Newton has a lot of potential, but the recognition dictionary in the first versions is appalling. Having to use the soft-keyboard to type stuff in all the time is a drag. And then it asks you if you want to add the word to the User Dictionary as well! This really gets in the way. AddToDict is a small Newton application that allows multiple additions to your User Dictionary in one sitting. Expect to see major improvements in the future, but here is what it is for now. Installation: Manually remove any copies of AddToDict's previous incarnation, "AddUserDict." Send the package file down to the Newton with your Connection Kit. -That's it. To install the sample word lists; open your backup Notes files with Connection Kit, create a new Note and paste it the sample word list. Connection Kit should break it up into more than one note if it is too big. (You may have to do this by hand.) Synchronize your Newton. Now use the Newton 'Clipboard' feature to get the text into AddToDict (see below.) How It Works: Launch the application from the Extras Drawer. Tap on the Keyboard button to bring up the keyboard. Key in the words you wish to add to your User Dictionary into the text field and hit the button. It's as simple as that. You can try to write VERY neatly (as the recognition dictionary is turned off in the field) or, as I suggest, use the keyboard. When you tap the "Add them to the Dictionary" button, you will hear two kinds of sounds. The high-pitched 'ping' means a successful addition. The beep sound (set in your preferences) means that the word was not added -probably because it was already there. * Warning: - Any punctuation or numbers will go in, so make careful lists. Even better, you can paste large lists into the field. Try importing a list of words into your Notes using the Connection Kit. Once you have it in Notes, select the text, drag it to the side of the screen so that it goes into the Clipboard. Next launch AddToDict and drag the clip back out. Then just hit the button. This saves a lot of soft-keyboard tapping. For long lists, the sounds can cause a racket, so you can turn them off with the checkbox at the bottom of AddToDict. Clicking on the button to the right of the Keyboard button brings up the User Dictionary editing window. Use this to review your User list and remove unwanted words. The Save button saves your word list to the permanent soup. Your word lists will then be retained over Restarts. There is though a limit to how many words the User Dictionary will take. Exact figures are not out, but it is about 2000. When you reach the limit any future atempts to save will give you a memory error. You can continue to add words to the User Dictionary so long as you don't save. They will be usable until you Restart. * Note - On such memory errors you will be asked if you want to Restart. You do not have to as nothing is broken. Just cancel and go on your merry way. This is the best I can do while relying on the in-built way of doing things. Expect to see entirely new dictionaries in soups soon. Word Lists: The word lists included with AddToDict are just random samples, but are still useful. For massive methodical word lists by categories, register your copy at the address below. Note: UserToDict is FreeWare, but it is also supported. I have prepared some large word list ready to add into your User Dictionary. There are lists of proper nouns, computer words and Japanese related words (including places, people and companies) each in the thousands of words. There is also a large dictionary coming, larger than the dictionary that comes with the Newton itself. Send US$10 and you will receive the latest version of AddToDict and all the lists I have ready. I was accepting checks until I found out it costs me about US$25 to have them cashed. Just throw a $10 note in an envelope. If you must send a check, I will just have to wait until I am in the US to cash it. Expect to see new features coming soon including: an Assist feature; previewing; deleting; printing; custom dictionary soups; direct import from Excel, dictionary program or your local mainframe. I will have some more useful word lists prepared soon including some specialized ones such as medical terms or even NewtonScript. Have fun and happy scratching.

Any Messages? 1.0b2 nwt/util/any-messages-10b2.hqx Flash Sheridan 4 Nov 1993 Displays the last four alarms or error messages. Any Messages? Displays the last four alarms or error messages (fewer if you've restarted recently), and allows you to copy them. If you don’t have your Newton constantly by your side and easily audible, you might miss an important reminder or error message. Now—if you can remember to do so—you can find out what you missed. Of course, you could read (but not copy) the last three messages by undoing twice and trying to undo a third time, then tapping the Up Arrow, but you might not know that, or might not want to undo twice. I wrote this because after a long Connection Kit 0.9 back-up, I’d have to walk several steps to my server to check whether the last message said the back-up was successful. I haven’t implemented scrolling (not many error messages are long enough to warrant it), but the Overview button will give you a list of message headers. It also shows the free memory figure given by stats(), which is generally less than the figure given in Prefs. Freeware; source, what little there is of it, on request.

Convert! 1.0 nwt/util/convert.hqx Clinton Logan 4 Nov 1993 Replacement for the built-in metric converter. Convert! for the Newton Messagepad v 1.0 Just as Newton is a replacement for your diary, Convert! is a replacement for the conversion tables usually found at the front. The interactive nature of Newton’s built-in metric converter initially struck me as being very useful. I was however frustrated by its limited scope and use of US measures, hence Convert! was born. Convert! is FREE to give away, that means that you may make use of the software and distribute it to any other user along with this documentation. If you find Convert! useful send me a postcard. Convert! can be transferred to Newton via Apple’s Connection Kit or the Newton Package Downloader (which is available free from most good on-line services). Features Convert! allows the user to enter and quickly convert between common metric and imperial units. Once the value has been written into a field Convert! automatically calculates the corresponding units in the table. You can then overwrite any field with a new value and have the whole table recalculate. The following conversions are supported in this version: Area sq. centimetres, sq. metres, ares, hectares, sq kilometres, sq inches, sq. feet, sq yards, acres, sq miles. Length millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, inches, feet, yards, chains, miles. Volume cubic centimetres, litres, cubic metres, cubic feet, cubic yards, US and UK fluid ounces, US and UK pints, US and UK quarts, US and UK gallons. Mass milligrams, grams, kilograms, tonnes, ounces, pounds, stones, slugs, tons Temperature degrees centigrade, degrees fahrenheit, Kelvin Legal Bits Convert! may be freely distributed via on-line services, BBSs and user groups provided it is not altered in ANY way. Commercial, Shareware and CD-ROM services must obtain advance permission in writing from the author before distributing this product. This version of Convert! for Newton is free of charge, however, it is NOT public domain. All copyright, ownership and rights of ownership shall remain with the author. All attempts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the numbers generated by this program. In no event shall the author be responsible for any consequential, incidental or indirect damages (including loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information and the like) incurred through the use of this software. Finally... I hope you find Convert! useful. The next version will use less of Newton’s precious memory. I didn’t realise how much extra memory floating windows with eight views took up until it was too late. I will know next time!

Deco Clock nwt/util/deco-clock.hqx Rob Hafernik 21 Sep 1993 This package puts clock icon in the extras drawer. AUTHOR: Rob Hafernik EQUIPMENT: Newton NEEDS: 8K of memory This package puts clock icon in your extras drawer. Tap it and a nice clock takes over your screen, covering everything else. The clock only updates every 20 seconds or so, so it lets the processor sleep a lot, saving some on battery power. While it's running your Newton WILL NOT SLEEP. This means you can leave the clock running at your desk while the Newt is plugged in or in a meeting when you want it awake all the time and it won't go to sleep on you. Newton-Utilities

Hot Buttons 0.9 nwt/util/hot-buttons.hqx Cesar Maiorino 21 Sep 1993 ‘Hot button’ application for the Newton. Hot Buttons 0.9 Copyright 1993 Cesar Maiorino Shareware: $5.00 This application is a floating palette of user - programmable buttons to lets you, with a single pen tap, access almost all Newton built-in applications as well as any user-installed applications. This let's you bypass the Extras Drawer and Preferences/Formulas Lists and should save you many pen taps. It's pretty easy to use: a button labelled "???" is unassigned. When you tap it, you get a popup list with choices to assign to it. Assigned buttons are labeled with the first 3 letters of the application name (the one that shows up in the extras drawer), or in some cases, for the built-in stuff, something more intelligible. Once assigned, the button will open the application when you tap it. It remembers button assignments after you close it. The little smiling button lets you clear any or all buttons, so that you can reassign them (and also gives you a not-so-subtle reminder to pay up). You can drag the palette around by the top "lobe" (Actually, by any part of the palette not containing a button, but the top is easiest). Dragging the palette or just tapping a non-button area will also cause the palette to pop to the front. Notes: Opening stuff in the Preferences or Formulas is pretty slow. If there is interest in this thing, this will be one of the first fixes in the next version. The good news is that when you click the close box from a Preference or Formula Item, you get right back to what you were doing before (instead of getting the Main Preference/Formula List - closing that - getting the Extras Drawer and closing that. When you clear all the buttons, you may see the Extras Drawer open and close quickly. Don't Panic. Hot Buttons needs to "peek" into the Extras Drawer to see what is there, and it can't see in there if the drawer is closed (really). It only checks button assignments against user-installed packages when you start-up the Hot Buttons application or when you clear all buttons, so if you remove a package that has a button assigned to it, you will get an error (but it won't crash, and you can just clear the button). If you restart Hot Buttons (close it and reselect it from the Extras Drawer) after removing the application, it fixes itself somewhat. Here are a couple of examples: - Install package A then package B then start Hot buttons and assign buttons to A and B. Remove B and restart hot buttons-> button assigned to A is unchanged, button assigned to B is unassigned. or - Install package A then package B then start Hot buttons and assign buttons to A and B. Remove A and restart hot buttons-> button assigned to A is now assigned to B (and labeled correctly) and button assigned to B is unassigned. In general if you add or remove packages often, it's a good idea to restart Hot Buttons every once in a while. Also you cannot access the Card (in the extras drawer) function directly, although you can access any applications on a card. I tried this with the Getting Started card (it's the only one I have) and it worked. Things that you open don't necessarily come to the front, although most of the time, they do. The application stores a small amount of data in memory (<<1K), which in this version is not removed when you remove the application from your Newton. This should not cause any problems other than wasting a few bytes and will be fixed in the next version. Plans for next version: Speed up access to Preferences and Formulas. Add actions (like "Remove Software", "Set to Guest Mode", "Review my word list") Clean up stored data after removal of Hot Butttons package. Improve handling of added/removed applications. Any suggestions??? Remember, this is shareware. If you like and use the application, please send in your $5.00 (less than the sales tax on your MessagePad! - In MA at least). Your $5.00 will - give you a clear conscience (or at least clearer), and - motivate me to continue development of this and upcoming cheap shareware products for the Newton. Send fee to: Cesar Maiorino 17 Kendall Street Lawrence, MA 01841 Send comments, bug reports, suggestions for new features or suggestions for shareware applications you would like to see, to the above address or via email to: Cesar_Maiorino@bcsmac.bcs.org Feel free to post and distribute the application to your friends and significant others. I ask, however, that you keep this readme file with it, and do not change the application or the readme file. Thanks. Newton-Utilities

The MinMax button looks like a little square attached to a bigger square. This is especially convenient when the persistant icon is covered by an app. * REMEMBERED LOCATIONS: The floating keyboard and icon locations are remembered for consistancy. To move the keyboard or icon, drag the border. * POPUP EXTRAS: The Extras button which looks like a file folder will let you access your applets and the builtin extras conserving screen space. Just click for a list of applets or press and hold until you hear the "poof" sound and release for the builtins and books. * REPEATING KEYS: Delete, Space and the Left/Right keys all repeat after a delay. Just keep holding the key to start multiple deletes, etc. If you undo after this operation, >all< changes are restored! * MULTIPLE KEYBOARDS: Current keyboards include punctuation, numeric elements and the alphabet. To the right of the minimize button, the Keyboards button leads you to a list of keyboard alternatives. Send in your ideas for new keyboards. The keyboards button looks like a stack of keyboards, a filing cabinet or a triple domino depending on the time of day and degree of inebriation. * TIMESTAMP: A special timestamp in the information [?] pane lets you mark the date and time. * DIRECT ACCESS TO STYLES: The Styles button, next to the folder, gives you immediate access to the styles slip. Super convenient! The styles button looks like a set of line widths with a check next to them. * MOVEMENT AND EDIT KEYS: A standard palette appears next to the keyboard supporting forward and backward delete, superbullet (bullet, return, space), tab, space,. return, move left and move right. * SELECT ALL: tap on any part of the text (get the cursor blinking in the text, that is) then press the square "select all" button between the left and right movement keys. All the text is selected. Perfect for changing font for long meeting notes! * KITCHEN SINK (forthcoming: version 0.999) ================================================================================ * RELEASE NOTES * 1.1 RELEASE NOTES 1. Persistant icon on the status line. (WHEE!!!) 2. By massive request, much bigger function keys on the right side of the keyboard. 3. ";" and bullet in punctuation replaced by < and > by popular request 4. Super-slimmed down number keyboard 5. Added new Modem, Unix and Task keyboards 6. Books now work and are under the standard apps rather than the builtins. 7. Added in "select all" option (little square) -- especially convenient for changing fonts. 8. Time stamp fixed and is now in the [?] info box. 1.0 RELEASE NOTES 1. Added in forward delete 2. Added in time stamp 3. Added in Bullet "macro" 4. Reordered some of the standard keys 0.5 RELEASE NOTES 1. The return key points left rather than down as per standard keyboard. 2. The parentheses keys now work correctly in the numbers keyboard. 3. Delete, space and left/right now repeat after a delay. 4. Repeated deletes can be undone as one operation. 0.4 RELEASE NOTES 1. I figured out how to shrink protokeyboards (set saveBounds rather than viewBounds) so the caret is now implemented. 2. You can move left and right (but not yet up and down) non-destructively. I used Unicodes FS and GS but still haven't found the right ones for the UP/DOWN... 3. Keyboards now include (a) standard (b) short movement/delete/etc (c) numeric (d) alphabet. If you have ideas for others send 'em to me. User custom kbds are still in the future. 4. The script "i" leads directly to the styles dialog. 5. Click on the folder pick from user applets. Press and hold on the folder, releasing when you hear "poof" and you will get the builtins and books. 6. Common keyboard functions: (tab, delete, left, right, space, return) have their own palette area to the right of the keys. 7. The multiple keyboard icon has changed to "stack of keyboards". (Use your imagination. 0.3 RELEASE NOTES 1. Multiple keyboards are supported, even if the alternate ones are pretty dumb. The heavy [+] button gets you there. [CHANGED in 0.4 to the keyboard stack] 2. Popup menus get you extra applets and builtins. The folder button goes to user added apps, the file cabinet gets you the builtin ones [Changed in 0.4]. 3.

Lowdown nwt/util/lowdown-da.hqx Howard Oakley 21 Sep 1993 Mac DA - desktop reference to NewtonScript™ commands. About Newton™ Lowdown Newton Lowdown is a simple desk accessory (DA) for the Macintosh (will not work on other PCs, or Windows, I am afraid). To install it, simply drop it into the Apple Menu Items folder in your System Folder (if you have System 7 installed). If you are still using System 6, then you will need to use Font/DA Mover to install it in your System File, or use Suitcase or similar. Newton Lowdown provide a quick desktop reference to NewtonScript™ commands which may be of use to those programming the Newton direct (e.g. through our NewtonScript Runner utility). It also guides you through the currently documented error codes, with a little help from Monty Python. Enjoy!

NetNames nwt/util/net-names.hqx Jim Lanford , DigitalInk Software 19 Nov 1993 Newton chooser utility that sees if there are named devices on AppleTalk. NetNames(tm) is a utility that uses the Newton chooser to see if there are named devices on AppleTalk. It is useful for: - Network system administrators to troubleshoot AppleTalk networks. - Newton users trying to print or use the Connection Kit over an unknown network. Tech Note: In order for NTK, the Connection Kit, or the Newton Package Downloader to display an AppleTalk name, they must be setup for AppleTalk and be "waiting for the Newton". Otherwise they will not register their name on the network, and NetNames will not see them. The idea for NetNames came from John Bennison's "Who's On" cdev.

Newton Package Downloader 1.0b4 nwt/util/newt-package-downloader-1b4.hqx Peter Kaas 16 Oct 1993 Enables downloading Newton packages (.pkg files) into your Newton. Newton Package Downloader 1.0b4: What is "Newton Package Downloader": This is the application you've all been waiting for, for a long time. Newton Package Downloader (from now on referred to as NPD) enables you to download your Newton packages (.pkg) into your Newt. To accomplish this, it uses an AppleTalk (ADSP) connection, thus requiring you to have the "AppleTalk ADSP Tool" connection tool be present in your extensions folder. NPD requires System 7 or higher. The application is tested on serveral machines (including Duo's, Quadra's and LC's, no AV machines yet). Some help: For on your Macintosh: 1. Be sure you have the “Appletalk ADSP Tool” installed 2. Drop your package(s) on NPD (or launch the Application and select somepackages in the standard file dialog) 3. Click the “Start” button to start downloading. For on your Newton: 1. Open the “Connection” title in your extra's drawer on your Newton 2. Select the radio button “Macintosh LocalTalk” 3. Click “Choose Macintosh” 4. After you've selected a Macintosh, hit the “Connect” button, and the package will be downloaded. Future development and "Ware" notices: For you, this application is absolute FreeWare. Though, I'd like to get some suggestions (and bugreports) for future development of NPD. I will release a NPD that will download packages via a serial connection in the future. Most likely, this version will also support the downloading and uploading of soups. Third-party software developers for the Newton can order a ‘Package Installer’. This way, you are able to distribute your application(s) (titles) via conventional ways, instead of PCMCIA, without requiring the user to have “Newton Connection”. Contact me for more information on this ‘Package Installer’. Further development of NPD is unsure. If I get enough response from the net, i'll probably continue to make this an even more neat application (backupping your Newt etc.). Some things I got in mind for the future: - Implementing NPD for serial connections - Making error handling much better. Now NPD just quits when it encounters and error - Support AppleEvents, making the application Applescriptable - Backup/Restore support for your Newton. At first, just a hard copy, later in- and export functions to, for instance, download your Filemaker database - Better documentation. Well, this kinda all depends on how much I find out about the protocol.

Newton Transfer nwt/util/newton-transfer.hqx Ben Sharp 21 Sep 1993 QuicKeys macro that makes the transfer process simpler. The Newton is a fun gizmo. However, it’s functionality may be limited if your names and addresses all reside in another program (like Dynodex). Until Apple releases the Connection Kit Pro, most users have to re-key or write their names, addresses and phone numbers in order to have them on their Newton. To alleviate this, I created a macro in QuicKeys that will make the transfer process simpler... at least until Connection Kit Pro is released. The macro basically copies and pastes data, one field at a time, from Dynodex to the Newton Connection Kit, until the entire record is copied. I don’t know if this works with other Contact Programs, but you’re welcome to adapt it to fit your needs. To use the Newton Transfer macro, open it with QuicKeys. Open your name file in Dynodex and the Newton Connection Kit. Make Dynodex the active window and press F9. Each field will be copied from Dynodex to Newton Connection Kit, one at a time. Press F9 again to copy the next record. (The keyboard buffer will hold about 10 or 15 “F9 presses,” so you can start the process, punch F9 several times and then go watch television, make coffee, or wash the dog — when you return, several records will have been copied). If you don’t have data in a field, the macro pastes the data from the previous field into the Newton Connection Kit. The quick-&-dirty workaround is to fill all empty fields with periods. After all your records have been transferred, just synchronize your Newton, and all your names and addresses will be included on the Newton. Enjoy — Ben Sharp. Newton-Utilities

Object Viewer 0.92 nwt/util/objviewer-092.hqx Robert P. Munafo 21 Sep 1993 Newton application intended mainly for programmers. Documentation for RPM's Object Viewer, version 0.92 1993 August 21 What is it? The Object Viewer is a Newton application intended mainly for programmers. It displays the contents of objects in Newton's memory, and provides several ways to jump from one object to another. It is a floating window which is half the height of the screen, and can therefore be used to examine the activities of other Newton programs while they are running. Basic Instructions ================== - Main list shows up to ten items; each is a frame slot or array element. Tap on an item to jump to that object. For binary objects, the display shows 80 bytes of data in hex and ASCII format. - Top two lines of display show the path taken to get to the current object, the object's class, memory address, and size (slots/elements/bytes). - Use the scroll arrows to view more slots, elements, or bytes of the current object. If you scroll continuously by holding the pen on the scroll arrow, it scrolls by larger and larger amounts. - Tap the Undo button to go back to the object you were looking at before the recentmost jump. - Tap the Recent button in the Viewer window to see a list of the ten most-recently-viewed objects; then tap on one to jump to that object. - The Home button jumps to the rootView object (the object that is displayed when the Viewer is opened). - The Update button updates the display to reflect changes (if any) in the currently-viewed object. - The Viewer is nondestructive -- it does not allow you to change any objects in memory. In normal operation it will not cause any objects to change except objects which belong to it, and a few system objects like the undo list. - The Info icon in the lower left jumps to an object that contains information about the ObjViewer program (author, copyright, etc.) Notes, features, oddities, etc: =============================== - The second line (info line) shows: The object's class, a "@" for modifiable objects or a "!" for non-modifiable objects, the object's virtual memory address, and the object's size (bytes, slots, or elements). For frames, the info line also indicates the position of the view within the frame, for example "8/27 slots" to indicate that there are 27 slots and the display currently starts with slot number 8. - The title line (the boldface line at the top) shows the "path" that was used to get to the current object. For example, after jumping to slot "_Parent", then to slot "AvailablePrinters", then to array element 1, then to slot "imagingName", the title line might say: ...ent.AvailablePrinters[1].imagingName the beginning of the path is cut off because the most recent information is at the end, and this is usually the most useful. - When you jump to an object, the name of the slot or element that you chose gets added to the end of the title line. However, if your jump takes you to an object you've visited recently, the title line will display the path that was used the first time that object was visited. - If you hold the pen on a scroll arrow for continuous scrolling, it will scroll in increasingly large jumps. This allows you to quickly go to a desired point in a really large binary object. Of course, it may skip over the point you're trying to get to; when this happens you have to stop scrolling for a moment, then start again (it will restart at the original slow rate). - If you re-visit an object that you have visited recently, the Object Viewer shows it at the same scroll position that it had when you left it. - Most of the data in the notepad, datebook, and names file are not in the dynamic object memory, and cannot be displayed using the Viewer. This information is stored in soups, which are seperate from the object memory and are compressed. - ObjViewer trivia #1: When you tap the "?" icon, it shows a little online help. What it's actually doing is visiting an object within its own _proto frame (this is mainly done to avoid making extra copies of the text into in the formContext frame, which is what would happen if conventional online help methods were used.) - ObjViewer trivia #2: When you tap the "Recent" button, it shows you the contents of the "recentList" object in ObjViewer's formContext frame, but with path titles for labels. This object does not itself end up in the recent list, unless you select an item from the recent list and then hit Undo (to return to the recent list). When you do this, the recent list is shown in its "raw" representation, and it is added to the recent list. The title will be something like "ObjViewer.recentList(@12:34pm)" indicating that you are visiting an ObjViewer recent list that existed at some time in the past (the current recent list is now different). You can visit this recentList later and use it to get to items that have already disappeared off the current recentList (but if you really feel you have to do this, let me know and I'll just make the recentList longer!). - The hex displays look somewhat ragged, due to the use of a proportional font (Simple 9 a.k.a. Geneva 9). There are no monospace fonts on the Newton and I do not wish to plot characters one at a time for proper spacing. Maybe eventually I'll figure out how to get my own font onto the Newton. A Guided Tour ============= This section leads you through a sample Viewer session, showing how it is useful for Newton developers. It also serves as a partial introduction to the organization and function of the more important system objects. If you've already done some Newton programming then you probably won't learn anything new from this section. We will use the Calculator as an example "target program". If the Viewer is open, close it; then open the Calculator and re-open the Viewer (this puts the Viewer in front). Relocate them so you can use both easily (I find that Calculator lower-right and Viewer upper-left works pretty well.) To drag the Viewer, grab it by the gray border or anywhere in the top two lines of text. At the top of the Viewer window is a line that says "GetRoot()". This line is referred to as the CURRENT PATH. It displays the canonical name of the object currently being viewed, which is the "System Root View" -- the View which contains everything on the screen. Programs get this object by calling the builtin function GetRoot(). The second line says something like "Frame@04406781;0/118 slots"; the numbers will differ on your Newton. This is the INFO LINE, and it tells you several important things about the current object; for now we'll just note that the current object is a frame and has 118 slots. Below the info line are ten lines of labels followed by various kinds of information. This is the CONTENT SECTION. Since we are viewing a frame, each line corresponds to a slot of the frame. The first ten slots are currently visible. Each line contains the name of the slot followed by a colon ":" and a brief description of what the slot contains. For example, look at the line that says "calculator: {..12..}" (perhaps with a different number between the ....'s). This indicates that the current object has a slot called "calculator" and that its value is a frame with 12 slots. (The number of slots will be more if you have performed some operations on the calculator.) Select this object by tapping on its line. The Viewer now changes its display to show that object. The current path changes to "GetRoot().calculator", the numbers in the info line change, and the entire content section changes to show 10 slots from the calculator frame. Find the content line which says "paper: [..30..]". This is an array with 30 elements. Select it. Now the display shows the calculator.paper array. The info line has changed to "Array@0440A851; 30 elements", indicating that the current object is an Array and that it has 30 elements. Unless you have done a lot of operations on the Calculator since opening it, the content section will show ten lines of "$" symbols. Scroll to the end of the paper array by clocking the down arrow three times. Each time you tap the arrow, the display moves down eight lines (showing eight new lines and two old lines). Now use the Calculator a bit; add a few numbers together. When a few numbers have scrolled up the calculator's window, tap the "update" button in the Viewer. The content section will change to reflect changes in the calculator.paper array. As you can see, this array contains strings representing the current contents of the calculator's "paper tape". The Calculator supports scrolling, and it keeps the last 30 items in this array. (Note that the Calculator won't scroll right now because the Viewer is in front, and it gets all of the scroll commands). Tap on one of the strings. The path will be "GetRoot().calculator.paper[27]" (with a different number, perhaps). The content section shows the string's text followed by the string's representation in memory. Since the Newton is a Unicode machine, every character takes two bytes (and in this display, each byte is shown as two hex digits). Characters in the ASCII character set have the same codes as in ASCII, but there is an extra "0" byte in the high half of each word. At this point, we're at a "dead end" -- we're looking at an object that has no slots or elements to select. The most convenient thing to do this point is to hit the Undo button, which will take you back to calculator.paper. Then hit Undo again to get to GetRoot().calculator. At this point Undo won't take you any further (try it). It happens that at this point we can select the slot called "_Parent" to get back to the GetRoot() object. Because the calculator is a child view of the root view, it has a _Parent slot which points back to the root view. Try it now if you like. Another way to get back to the root view is to use the Recent button. Try it now. The Viewer will show a list of the objects you've visited so far. It will look something like this: Last 4 objects viewed: ___________________________________ GetRoot() GetRoot().calculator.paper[28] GetRoot().calculator.paper GetRoot().calculator If you have looked at other objects, they too will appear in the list, and if you have re-visited old objects the order will be different. The last item in the list is the current object, and the second-to-last item is the previous object. Before that the order will vary depending on when you last visited particular objects. For now, just select "GetRoot().calculator". Now look at a floating-point number: find the "value" slot and select it. The display will now show the value on the Calculator's display and its representation in memory. Reals in the Newton are stored in 64-bit IEEE format. If you enter a different number in the Calculator's display, then tap Update, the display will not change. The reason is that the Calculator creates a new object for the "value" slot each time the value changes. The ObjViewer still has a pointer to the old object, so when you tap update the display doesn't change. To see the new value, return to GetRoot().calculator (by tapping Undo) and look at the "value" slot. If you change the calculator's value several times, and re-visit the value slot each time, several copies of the value slot get placed in the Viewer's recent list. The reason is that each value is a distinct object of type "Real" in the Newton's memory, and the Viewer is holding them in memory by keeping them in its recent-list. This doesn't fill up memory because when the recent list gets full, the oldest object gets removed from the list. When the old "calculator.value" objects get removed in this way, they no longer have anything pointing to them and the Newton OS deletes them from memory. Go back to GetRoot().calculator and find the "base" slot. Its entry says "base: SELF {..20..}". This slot points to GetRoot().calculator itself (try it -- when you tap it the view doesn't change). It is common for Newton frames to contain a pointer to themselves; ObjViewer identifies them as such. Here are some examples of other types of objects that you might find interesting: A sound: GetRoot()._proto._proto.scrollUpSound The "samplingRate" slot indicates that the sound is to be played at 11,013.22 samples per second. The "samples" slot contains the actual digitized sound samples. (The display is particularly ragged because of the large number of E and F digits in the hex; see my note in the previous section). A font: GetRoot()._Parent.fonts._proto.geneva Newton uses TrueType fonts for on-screen rendering. The "plainData" slot contains the TrueType font data, but although its class is "sfnt" it does not appear to be the same as a Macintosh "sfnt" resource or a Windows TrueType font. (This might be related to Unicode.) An icon: GetRoot().trash._proto.icon The "bits" slot points to the image, and the "mask" slot points to the mask (analagous to an icon mask on the Macintosh). A NewtonScript code block: GetRoot()._proto.viewSetupChildrenScript This is an example of a non-generic frame: a frame whose class is not "Frame". There is a slot called "instructions" which is a non-generic binary object; it contains 79 bytes of "P-code". There is a "literals" slot, a non-generic array, containing 25 literals (constants used by the code). There is also a list of arguments and local variables in the "argFrame" slot (in this example there are no arguments or locals; the three slots _nextArgFrame, _Parent, and _implementor are always present). A C function reference: GetRoot()._proto._proto.SyncScroll The "funcPtr" slot is the memory address of the C++ code for the "SyncScroll" function. "numArgs" indicates that the function takes 3 arguments. The Viewer itself: GetRoot().extrasDrawer.viewChildren[21] The number "21" in this path will depend on ObjViewer's position in the Extras drawer. You know you've found the right one if the "app" slot is 'ViewerRPMSym. The "theForm" frame contains the template for the application (including all the code); it and all of its slots are non-modifiable. The "formContext" frame contains the variables. Newton team members' names: GetRoot().theGang._proto.authors This array contains the text displayed by the Assist "About Newton" Easter egg. Revision History ================ Version 0.92, 1992 Aug 21 (posted to BCS) - Fix bug: Undo just after opening Object Viewer would show a NIL object with no title. - Fix bug: Recent would say "Last 10 objects viewed:" even when there were less than 10 items in the list. - Fix bug: Undo just after selecting an item from the Recent list would show an old recent list with an incorrect title. Made it into a feature by passing an appropriate title to the Undo system. - When viewing a real, it now shows the real's value along with its hex. - Scrolling: add "acceleration" feature. - It no longer takes time to update the view if you scroll up when already at the top, or down when already at the bottom. - Add fields to "?" button's display, and point it at the _proto entry to avoid copying text in memory.

I realize its in bad form to post binaries, but heck its small. It's called "Reboot!" and its only function is to allow you to reboot the Newton from the extras drawer. It puts up a simple dialog and beeps to warn that it will reboot the machine. If you close it, it won't, and if you hit the reboot button it will do the deed. >// >// Patrick C.

RemGuard nwt/util/rem-guard.hqx Stephen H. Dohrmann 19 Nov 1993 Helps prevent missed appointment reminders -ReadMe file for RemGuard package. November 13, 1993 ======================================== RemGuard software package (c) 1993, Stephen H. Dohrmann. All rights reserved. RemGuard is "FreeWare". It is provided "as is" and free of charge. It may be freely distributed. It may not be sold. All commercial distribution is prohibited. Only nominal download costs may be collected in connection with online distribution. ======================================== Hello, RemGuard is a Newton MessagePad utitlity that helps prevent missed appointment reminders posted by the MessagePad Dates application. **Background The MessagePad keeps track of the last four system messages, called notifications. These notifications include things like battery low messages, errors, ...and reminders from the Dates applicataion. If a Dates reminder comes due, the MessagePad will turn itself on, if neccessary, and display the reminder in a small window. If you are not there to see it, however, and the MessagePad turns itself off, you will miss the reminder. The next time you turn the MessagePad on, the MessagePad's reminder window will be closed. RemGuard makes sure you don't miss reminders. **Installation Install the package as described in the Apple documentation. **Operation Tap the RemGuard icon in the Extras Drawer. Any reminders (up to four) in the MessagePad's notification list will be displayed in the RemGuard window. There are two ways to dismiss the RemGuard window: "Acknowledge" - marks reminders in the window as read; these reminders will not be displayed again. "Snooze" - hides the RemGuard window for 5 minutes or until you turn Newton off and back on again, whichever occurs first. Use this if you don't have time to read the reminders at that time. Notice that when RemGuard is on, its icon in the Extras Drawer will appear with a check over the clock. Tapping the icon will toggle RemGuard on and off. **Notes RemGuard can't tell whether or not you saw a Dates-posted reminder when it appeared so you may see reminders in the RemGuard window after you have seen the MessagePad display them. Once you acknowledge a reminder, however, RemGuard will not show it again. I speculate that future versions of the MessagePad system software may make RemGuard unnecessary. If reminders on future Newtons are harder to miss, remove the RemGuard package. For now, however, I hope you find this utility useful.

Sam's Sensable Sleeper 1.00 nwt/util/sams-sensible-sleeper.hqx Sam's Software Shoppe 4 Nov 1993 Detects whether operation is by plug or by battery and sets sleep time. October 23, 1993 Sam's Sensable Sleeper V1.00 Brought to you by: Sam's Software Shoppe This package is shareware, if you use it you are requested to send $5 to Sam's Software Shoppe 220 W. Bell Rd., #2057 Phoenix, AZ 85023 comments to: riedesel@inference.com What is it? ---------- Sam's Sensable Sleeper, when turned on, detects whether you are operating by plug or by battery. You may then set the sleep time on your Newton based on whether you are using the plug or the battery. Thus, if most of the time you use the plug (at your office where your plug is, perhaps), you can set sleep to never. When you then carry it around off the plug, you can have the sleep be, say, 1 minute. This way, you don't have to always dive through a zillion menus just to reset the sleep. You do it once with this package and the package will do it for you from then on (if you turn it on). How does it work? ----------------- Ugh. Via a couple of hacks. By setting trace to 'functions, I was able to find the function "BatteryLevel(0)" which returns an integer between 0 and 100. So, if the value ever goes below 100, then I assume we don't have a plug (probably a safe assumption). Unfortunately, while the battery is fresh, I don't know if you have a plug or a battery. Anyone know a better way to detect if the Newton is plugged in? The second thing is a viewIdleScript. This seems to require that the view remain open in order to keep the idle script going. Therefore, I hide the view instead of closing it when the close box is tapped. Well, then I only want to show it when the icon for the package is tapped. Easier said than done. Ever try to change the buttonClickScript on those views in the ExtrasDrawer? Everytime the drawer is closed those views are gone. Now what? So my viewIdleScript also tries to keep the buttonClickScript up to date. The upshot of this is that I have the viewIdleScript running every second. This is so that the buttonClickScript is set appropriately before the user really has a chance to get to it. One shouldn't have to go through these contortions to do something simple like this? If anyone can recommend how to do what I'm really trying to do, please, tell me. It bugs me that the code is really quite simple; but to get it to work the way I think it should be able to on the Newton is less than trivial (understatement). Recommendations ---------------- Sam's Software Shoppe recommends that you install this package in your internal memory rather than on a card or other storage device. The package is simple in concept, but difficult to implement and thus won't allow you to remove external storage if you install it on external storage. Caveats ------- Sam's Software Shoppe makes no guarantees regarding this product. Sam's Software Shoppe is not responsible for any loss resulting from the use of this product. Newton-Utilities

Skip 0.5 nwt/util/skip-05.hqx Kevin Fox 22 Oct 1993 A Styles shortcut for the Newton. SKIP Version 0.5 October 7, 1993 Introducing Skip, the first truly useful utility for the Newton MessagePad and ExpertPad. Skip is a Styles shortcut. With Skip installed, the Styles palette is always one tap away, yet Skip never gets in your way. Skip utilizes the unused space on the touchscreen which does not cover the active display. Tapping in the upper left or right corners of your screen will activate Skip and bring forth the Styles palette. To use Skip, install the appropriate Skip package with your connection kit. If you want Skip to reside in the top left corner, install SkipLeft.pkg. For the top right, install SkipRight.pkg. At this time, Skip does not fully support being loaded into a ram card, so if you use a ram card, make certain that the "Store new items on card" is not checked when you install Skip. Once transferred, open Skip in the extras drawer and you're done; clicking in the appropriate corner will now open the Styles palette from anywhere in the Newton environment. Please distribute Skip freely, but always include this ReadMe file. In order to make Skip as small as possible (It's under 4K), there is no help or about screen in the program. Commercial distribution is prohibited without the express written consent of the author. BMUG (The Berkeley Macintosh Users Group) has this consent. Future versions of Skip and other Lore products will be commercial. This version of Skip is Shareware. If you find Skip useful (if it's still on your Newton after a week) please register your copy by sending $5 to: Kevin Fox Bancroft & Telegraph ASUC Store Box #144 Berkeley, CA 94720 Include your E-Mail address to be informed of all updates to Skip and other products forthcoming.

Souper 1.1 nwt/util/souper-11.hqx Stephen Rose 1 Nov 1993 Soup manager for the Newton. Souper Version 1.1 - Soup Manager of the Newton™ -------------------------------------------------------------- As I began to work with, and develop software for the Newton™, I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't clear out a file ("Soup") easily. I had to delete each record ("Entry") individually, so I started to write an application that would clear out a Soup. Once I got started, I began to add other things to my 'wish list' and the package you now have grew out of that list. Within the Souper application you have the ability to select the "Store" on which you want to work and the Soup you wish to operate on. You may rename a given Soup, Delete to entire Soup, Clear all entries out of a Soup, or get information about a Soup. The functions Rename,Remove,Clear, and Duplicate operate as you would expect. The Information function returns the number of entries in a Soup, the total size of all entries within the Soup, and a list of all the indices over that Soup. At present, that is all that is available in this function, however, I intend to add the ability to create new Indexes, remove old Indexes, or view/edit individual entries within the Soup. Bugs Fixed : 1. Souper was preventing you from seeing the last Soup in a Store. This has been fixed. 2. Souper was returning a count of one object in an empty Soup. This has been fixed. Known Bugs: 1. If you try to duplicate a soup using the same name and in the same Store, a warning message appears. This message disappears and doesn't clear all of its self off the display. Note: I have included the files for Souper with the application, but they should not be taken as examples of good programming technique. However, I would greatly appreciate any comments you wish to make, as it will help me in my attempts to program follow-on applications. Now for the standard warning : This software is provided with NO warranties expressed or implied. I DO NOT warranty this software to be free from errors, and you use it at your own risk. This software has been released as "Shareware", that means that you may make use of the software, and distribute it to any other user. However, this software may not be used or distributed as part of a commercial program, and I reserve all rights to the "Souper" program. As it is shareware, if you find this program useful, please send $5.00 to: Stephen Rose 23 Oak Street, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, Y1A 4A9. This donation would be welcomed by my wife, and be used to pay for my Newton. In addition, you will receive any new updates to the program, and may request the source code for it.

Stand nwt/util/stand.hqx Kevin Hennessy 19 Nov 1993 PS file that prints a layout for making a Newton stand. Newton-eer's, Well I got tired of "hand holding" Newt at my desk and the screen glare made it hard to use it laying flat on my desk, so I reverted to my drafting days (in High School) and decided to "whip out" a NewtStand™. I made a simple mockup using cardboard and it seems to work okay. So here is a PS file that will print out four pages that make up the "life" size layout for you to do the same for your personal use. ;^)) Once the layout is printed out, you'll need - A piece of cardboard 14" by 12" (I used some the thickness of the Mac Shipping Boxes, its 3-ply, 2 thin paper layers with a baffle in between). - A sharp razor knife and scissors (kid's get your parent's help with this part of the job :-) ). - A stapler or paste, and tape. Okay, let's get started..... 1) Piece together the layout with tape, some trimming with scissors maybe required. 2) Tape the layout on the cardboard, this will end up as the bottom/back of the NewtStand™. 3) Trim off the excess cardboard that is to the outside of the pattern, follow the dashed lines on the pattern. 4) Cut through the dashed line between E and D. 5) Cut through the dashed line between D and F. 6) Cut the top layer of paper (remember 3-ply) only between the following sections, don't cut clear through the cardboard. The cuts are to ease folding. Score the cardboard using the knife, along the dotted lines: between A and B, between A and C, between A and D, between A and G, between B and E, between C and F, between G and H, between H and I. 7) Now for the folding, with A facing up toward you: fold up D to 90 degrees along the A-D edge, fold up F to 90 degrees along the C-F edge, fold up E to 90 degrees along the B-E edge, fold up B to 90 degrees along the A-B edge, and fold up C to 90 degrees along the A-C edge. 8) Now staple, paste, or tape tab E and tab F to tab D. This now forms the base using E/D/F as the back leg, B and C as the sides and A as the top. 9) Now for the "foot rest", fold down G to 90 degrees along the A-G edge, fold up H to 180 degrees along the G-H edge, and fold down I to 90 degrees along the H-I edge. 10) Now staple, paste, or tape the face of G to H, thus forming the "foot rest" at the bottom of the stand. ******************* Optional ****************** 11) Push/cut a small slit/hole in the upper corner of A near the A-B edge to hold the Newton Pen. 12) Break out the finger paints or wrapping paper and decorate to your personal preference. I will be building a finalized "wooden" version of the NewtStand™ soon. When complete, I'll upload a scanned image of it and will consider taking orders for stocking stuffers at that time :-).....

StewPot nwt/util/stew-pot.hqx Mark Underwood 19 Nov 1993 Soup inspector. The Legalese: StewPot is copyright 1993 by Mark Underwood, all rights reserved. It is free, but must always be distributed with this “read me” file, and cannot be re-sold for profit. StewPot is a powerful soup tool. Because of its nature, I cannot be held responsible for anything you lose while using it, so please, please back your Newton up every time before using it! This is a “beta” product, so some features are not fully implemented yet. Please see below for details. What does it do? StewPot is a soup inspector. Many soup browsers exist, and a few editors. But I believe StewPot is the first to offer many of its features, and I have plans for even more! A soup inspector allows you to: • View and change the contents of anything in your data stores having to do with soups • Create new entries in your soups • Copy and/or move entries between soups and the same named soups in different stores • Find specific entries by text search • Go to specific entries by number What can I do with StewPot? Some everyday uses: •Move entries in your Names, Calendar, To Do, Notes, etc. from your PCMCIA cards into your Newton’s internal store, or the other way around. •Remove those troublesome repeating events that can’t be deleted in the normal way. •Copy entries for easier change. For example, you have three new people to enter into the Names soup, and only their name, position, and phone number is different. Enter the first, copy it twice, then change only what you need to, all from inside StewPot. •Remove soups/entries from 3rd party, free, and shareware noodles that don’t clean up after themselves when you remove them. So how do I use it? After you’ve installed StewPot, make sure you make a backup, either to your PCMCIA card, or your PC/Mac. I suggest you play around with soups/entries in the Internal (Newton-based) store, since you can always restore what you lose from your backup. When you open StewPot, you will see something like this: Figure 1: StewPot’s Main View Initially, the store is set to be the “internal” (what’s in the Newt’s memory), and the list of internal soups will be shown in the soup names. If you don’t see the name of the soup you want, use the up and down scroll buttons to move through the list. Tap a soup name to see information on the first entry in that soup. The names of the slots in the current entry are listed in the slot names field. Tapping on the name of a slot will either show you the value of that slot, or (if the slot value is a frame or array) show a list of elements of the slot. Currently, only one level of sub-slot information can be shown. To move sequentially through the entries, you can use the “Next” and “Prev” buttons. What do the menu items mean? Soup Menu Create [Not yet implemented] Creates a new soup, without entries, in the currently selected store. You will be prompted for the name, index slot name, and index slot type. Move [Not yet implemented] Moves the selected soup (and all its entries) from one store to the other one. Remove Deletes the selected soup and all of its entries from the current store. Rename [Not yet implemented] Changes the name of the soup to what you specify. Entry Menu Copy Copies the selected entry into the current soup. Create Makes a new entry in the current soup. You are asked for the names of the slots, separated by spaces. The slots are give a value of “nil”. Find Prompts you for a string to search the selected soups entries for. If found, the current entry is displayed. GoTo Prompts for the ordinal number for an entry to move to. Move Moves the current entry from the soup to the same named soup in the other store--i.e., if the current entry is on the PCMCIA card in the “Names” soup, it moves it to the “Names” soup in the internal (Newton) store. Remove Deletes the current entry from the current soup. Remove All Deletes all of the entries from the current soup. This leaves the soup empty. Edit Menu Remove [Not yet implemented] Removes the selected slot from the current entry. Update Replaces the value of the current slot with the contents of the edit field. The “class” of the data item is preserved--i.e., if the original slot held an integer (as opposed to string), the value in the edit field is converted back to an integer (if possible) before the slot is updated. Format Menu Normal Displays the slot as stored. Dates are integers, etc. Date If you know the field should contain a date, select this and the integer will be displayed as a human-readable date. This does not modify the contents of the slot unless you select “Update” from the “Edit” menu--then you will replace the integer-represented date with a character string! What else do I need to know to use it? That’s it, for now! I’ll be updating StewPot with new stuff (and the “not yet implemented” features will be implemented). Things I have in mind right now are: • If you don’t have a card inserted, you probably don’t want to see the card icon/button. I’m working on that ASAP. For now, if you don’t, and you select the “card” button, you’ll either get an error or it will just hang (sorry about that!). • Should be able to swap cards while inside the app. Since I’m still unsure what the method is that gets called when a card is inserted/ejected, I’ll have to wait until I find that out. If you want to swap a card right now, make sure you select the Newt first, the swap the card, then select the card button. Otherwise, bomb-o-rama.

Strainer 0.8 nwt/util/strainer-08.hqx Paul R. Potts 8 Nov 1993 Utility that allows the user to browse through three Newton system soups. Strainer 0.8 by Paul R. Potts 11/8/93 11:25 a.m. description for online services: Strainer 0.8 is the latest release of the Strainer utility, adding several new features. Strainer is designed to let you easily mark and remove entries from your Newton's storage. This can help you to get around a bug in the Datebook which makes it difficult to delete certain entries, or to remove outdated entries in order to keep as much memory free as possible. New features in version 0.8: - You can now mark entries in multiple soups and strain them all at once. - I now handle straining of items on storage cards, if present. - Strainer now has dialogs to ask you what you want to do if you close the app before straining out the entries you have marked. - You can browse and mark entries in the to-do list and Names - I have fixed a bug in 0.7 that caused errors when trying to browse soups and no storage card was present. contact: potts@oit.itd.umich.edu, Compuserve: 71561,3362 ----------------------------------------------------------- The first version of Strainer that I released (0.3) was completed and sent to the net on my birthday, 9-26. I was happy to celebrate my 26th birthday by sending my first completed Newton application into the world. I hope to be able to provide many more useful and interesting programs in the future. Strainer is a utility that allows the user to browse through three Newton system soups, called Calendar, Calendar Notes, and Repeat Meetings. They can see old, obsolete, or incorrect entries, mark them for deletion, and delete them. Strainer is a little easier to use than walking around trying to delete everthing in the datebook, and it can also be used to get rid of entries in the datebook which can't be removed due to a few bugs in the Calendar. (Yes, PIE is aware of these bugs and they will be fixed in a future release). Users might want to use Strainer as a means of keeping as much memory free as possible; old datebook entries take up room in memory, so it makes sense to delete them if you really aren't going to be needing them any more. Strainer is written using the Newton Tool Kit, which I got at the Boston MacWorld Newton launch. I'm very new to Newton programming, like most developers, and so I'm very aware that, although strainer seems to work, there still may be lurking bugs. Also, I know that my NewtonScript code is very inefficient; in particular, I'm using a very inefficient search method in the browser. I have plans to speed this up greatly in the future. (It isn't your Newton that is so slow, it's my code). In a future release, I hope to have the code cleaned up and looking nice and to distribute the source code as an example for other Newton programmers who are trying to work with soups. VERSION INFORMATION Version 0.3: First release. Version 0.4: - actually included something in the READ ME FIRST file; in the 0.4, it went out blank because of a dumb mistake on my part. - fixed weird, hard-to-pin-down bug where checked items were becoming unchecked after walking back through a number of them. (this could result in the user being unable to change their minds and uncheck an item). The reason the bug was hard to find is that it was actually two bugs. When I fixed the first bug, the second bug was still active, making me think that my fix hadn't helped. The opposite thing happened when I fixed the second bug. - my views no longer float, so you can now bring up another window on top of them. - made some cosmetic improvements. Version 0.5 (not released): Made it possible to select items in multiple soups for straining. Added a test so that if we close Strainer with items selected, a dialog comes up asking you if you want to delete the items before closing or forget their marked-for-deletion status. Cleaned up organization of code a bit. version 0.6 (not released): Added support for straining the to-do list soups. Cleaned up the code a lot; reduced app size by removing redundant functions; now using simpler path expressions. version 0.7: I now use Union Soups so if you have a card in the slot with items on it, you can browse and delete those items along with ones on the internal store. version 0.8: Fixed a bug which caused an "array out of bound" (-48205) if you tried to browse with no memory card installed. Apparently most of the people using Strainer had cards installed, but I did get one report of this problem which helped me fix it. Rebuilt with NTK version 1.0b6, which is much nicer to use (speed of builds has been improved a great deal). NOTES ON USING STRAINER: - I do support union soups, but I'm not yet doing extensive checking, so there are some things that might cause problems: for example, don't yank out a card if you're browsing items on it; if you try to strain out items on a card that is write-protected, you'll probably get an error, since I don't check for that yet. I'll try to handle all the obvious conditions in a future release. - Close the datebook before starting Strainer; otherwise, if you strain out entries that are visible in the datebook, the datebook won't update its display until you close it an re-open it (technical reason: the datebook doesn't respond to the soupChanged message, so I don't bother to notify it). - If you find ink entries in your calendar soup, they aren't supposed to be there; remove them. Strainer will say <this entry is ink>. These entries are apparently in the soup because of a known bug in the Calendar. Things remaining to fix: I don't know of any real bugs remaining. There are a number of missing features: - I want to support faster browsing and deleting. Right now, I'm using a soup to keep track of marked entries; it would be faster to use and array, so I'll probably do this in the future. Also, my method of searching for marked entries is extremely inefficient. I'll speed this up in a future release. - Some of the features I'm thinking of adding: a cleaner interface, a method of seeing how many entries are in the soup and how far through them you are, and an Overview mode. However, I also want Strainer to remain a small application, which means not going overboard on features. If there's a particular change or feature you want to see, please let me know.

As such, the contents of this distribution must replace, or be added to, the files in the MacGS 2.5.2b2 development distribution. Please note that this distribution contains a copy of gs_mac.ps that fixes a problem with the copypage operator, and that this copy supercedes its counterpart in the MacGS 2.5.2b3 *runtime* distribution. Beta 3 Enhancements and Bug Fixes ---- - ------------ --- --- ----- Because MacGS now correctly responds to page size and resolution changes specified via the GS' putdeviceprops operator (see language.doc), it will also change the size of its displayable area to match the paper sizes specified in gs_statd.ps. Also, the file 108dpi.ps, located in (macGS Tests), shows how to change the displayed output resolution to 108 dpi. This is particularly useful if you're using MacGS to read manuscripts. MacGS will open PS files of type 'EPSF' as well as those of type 'TEXT'. MacGS' Resume command now invokes initgraphics.

Xante PPDs for LaserWriter 8.0 prn/xante-ppd-lw8.hqx Xante Corporation Christian F. Buser 5 Oct 1993 PPDs for the Xante Accel-a-Writer printers and boards. This is a re-submission of the PPDs for the Xante Accel-a- Writer printers and upgrade boards. Obviously my first posting was somehow corrupted. It's a BinHexed StuffIt archive which, when expanded, should have the following structure: Root: Xante Folder (folder) 1st Level (Xante Folder) ReadMe.1st (teachtext document) Warning (teachtext document) International users beware! (ttxt doc) Xante Driver 8.0 modifier (application) PPDs (folder) 2nd Level (PPDs Folder) The PPDs for the "normal" print jobs as well as those for PageMaker 5.0 I only worked with the "A1"-PPD (non-PageMaker version) so far, and it appears that Xante did a poor job when they wrote it. I have changed it to set the default paper size (for use in Europe, for example) to A4 instead of Letter -> change all occurences of "Letter" into "A4". The Paper size definition for A4 is correct, but the margins are set too narrow, at least for my printer. I changed all occurences of "imageable area", etc. to values which produce a 17-unit margin (= 6 mm or 0.6 cm). 1 "unit" is 1/72 of an inch. If someone wants it, I can send my "adapted PPD", but I hesitate to post it now. Please note that I do not work for Xante and do not have any connections with them other than being their customer. Comments, questions and complaints should be directed to them at the following address: Xante Corporation Printing

3DView sci/three-d-view.hqx Eric S. 5 Nov 1993 Volume rendering Bio-Rad series of confocal microscopes. 3DView is a direct port of a program I wrote to do volume rendering of data obtained from the Bio-Rad series of confocal microscopes. It features a variety of rendering methods as well as the ability to interpolate floating point values between planes during rendering (for example it can fit 2.3 pixel planes between image planes.) I have included a stereo pair (made in NIH Image) as a demonstration. The program is probably too slow on a Mac to be very practical, but I will make source code available to interested parties. (I currently run the program on a VMS platform made by Digital.) The program is freeware, and I'd be happy to hear comments/suggestions. eric_s Science

Bestplace 1.0.2 sci/bestplace-102.hqx Jim Allison 15 Nov 1993 Finds the best place to position speakers in a room. Bestplace 1.0.2: Bestplace is program which can be used to find the best place to position speakers in a listening room. The program is based on Roy Allison's research into the effects of speaker placement on the accuracy of the sound produced. Allison has been one of the leading figures in the audio industry for the past 30 years. The program plots a room augmentation curve for a speaker placed at any position within a room, and so allows experimentation to find acceptable positions that are also practical for use. An augmentation curve is a frequency vs. amplitude plot showing how nearby boundaries affect the power output of a speaker. The curve's shape is dependant on the location of the woofer with respect to the three nearest boundaries. The program also plots the power output of some specific speakers and contains background material on the historical development of the home Hi-Fi industry over the years. Finally there is information on Allison's current speaker designs. Bestplace is FreeWare, enjoy! Science

Cam 1.1 Demo sci/cam-11-demo.hqx Hussam Dandashli Hussam A Dandashli 1 Sep 1993 Analysis and animation of a cam with a follower. Cam v1.1Demo Cam Analysis and Visualization By: Hussam Dandashli Purdue University This is a demo version of Cam1.1 . It does analysis and animation of a cam with a follower. It is limited to the cam presets where the user can change them but can't save them as an input file, or open an existing input file. The analysis is limited to displacements only. A sample output file is included to show the numerical output given by the original version. (see the user manual for more information) The only system requirement is to have color QuickDraw (8 bit or 32 bit). This demo is a non- FPU version which will be a little slow. The full version will be a FPU version (unless requested otherwise). People most likely to benefit from it are undergraduate students (Design I level) and educators for a class demo. I would like this application to be included on the archive CD-ROM. Science

Igor 1.28 Updater sci/igor-128-updt.hqx Jim Prouty 3 Sep 1993 Data analysis and publication-quality graphing program. Incompatibility Fixed in Igor 1.28 (8/25/93) Igor is WaveMetric's data analysis and publication- quality graphing program. Apple's recently released "AV" Macs and some third-party 68040 accelerators do not do automatic cache flushing as it was done in Apple's earlier 68040 machines. This version of Igor includes explicit cache flushing to compensate for this change. Therefore, Igor 1.28 will run on the "AV" Macs and some third-party 68040 accelerators that caused earlier versions of Igor to crash. Other than this compatiblity fix, Igor 1.28 is functionally identical to Igor 1.27. This updater will update Igor 1.24, 1.25, 1.26 or 1.27 to 1.28.

MacElements Utilities 1.01 sci/mac-elements-utilities-101-hc.hqx Mark Winter 9 Jul 1993 Calculates element percentages for chemical formulaes. "MacElements Utilities" v1.01 (29/6/93) oo Attached is "MacElements Utilities", a HyperCard 2.x stack which calculates element percentages and isotope patterns for given chemical formulae together with yields of chemical reactions. It should therefore be useful in any chemical laboratory. All the user has to do is enter the formulae and weights (or number of mmols) of starting material and product. Formulae are correctly parsed and displayed with numeric subscripts (not common in HyperCard). The yield is calculated automatically. Additionally, element percentages for the chemical formulae are automatically calculated and displayed. A short report is automatically generated in Royal Society of Chemistry or American Chemical Society experimental section punctuation styles. The user may also elect to calculate the isotope pattern of chemical formulae. Some 50 different pseudo-elements such as Me, Ph, Cp, etc. are allowed in chemical formulae.

MathPad 2.1.5 sci/mathpad-215.hqx Mark Widholm Mark Widholm 10 Oct 1993 General purpose scientific calculator that uses text input. MathPad is a general purpose scientific calculator that uses text input rather than a graphic simulation of a hand held calculator. This allows you to see and edit your entire calculation. Formulas can be entered directly and different values can be plugged in for easy "what if" calculating. Results may be put into a table or graphed. General purpose arrays allow calculations involving vectors, complex numbers, matrix algebra etc. MathPad does not perform symbolic manipulations like high-end commercial programs such as Mathematica but it can handle fairly sophisticated numerical problems with a MUCH smaller memory requirement (160K). MathPad 2.1.5 is an upgrade intended to replace the previously posted version 2.0.4. Existing documents will still work with the new version. New features include: * 2D arrays can be displayed as grayscale or color images. * A new command "plotline" specifies line plots for 1D arrays. * Sub arrays can be selected using the syntax [lo:hi]. * The table command can now automatically print a 1D or 2D array. * The read and write functions have been improved. * Background computation. * Paste of a PICT into the plot. * Bug fixes. MathPad runs on a Mac Plus or higher with system 6 or system 7. This software is free for non-commercial distribution and may be included on the info-mac CD-ROM.

MicroWorld 1.1 sci/micro-world-11.hqx Stefan Abrecht Toshi Takeuchi 10 Oct 1993 Display program for 3-D model renderings . This is a submission made for the author, who does not have internet access. Here is the README. Manuals are in German and English. *** MicroWorld is a molecular display program for three dimensional model renderings (Dreiding, Ball&Stick, Space Fill) from atomic space coordinates, e.g. from x-ray data, databases, energy optimization programs, and so on - just look at the included slide show to see what it is all about. It features powerful functions which are, so far, quite rare with other programs of this kind (at least the ones under US$ 500): * Antialiased sticks and mixed model lines * Depth cueing: impression of three dimensional depth by a change of the brightness of the model parts with increasing distance to the observer. * Transparent space fill models. * Up to three different model types in one model. * Import of a background picture and optional cast of a model shadow onto it. * Alignment of the model to a point, a bond, or a plane. * Display of a color legend for element colors. * High quality printouts. * Mathematical coprocessor not necessarily needed. * Optimized for 256 colors, but also gives quite good results with 16 grays. Changes since Version 1.0: ------------------------ - Exclusive, fast, and never seen before antialiasing for sticks and mixed model lines, at almost the speed of the jagged ones in version 1.0. - Change in price policy: see the shareware disclaimer at program start. - The special math coprocessor version of the program is discontinued (since only marginable speed advantage in version 1.1). - Various minor bugs fixed. - Version 1.0 users caution! Due to the enhanced functionality of the version 1.1 files (MW-file and MW-picture), they are no more compatible with version 1.0 files. Sorry, but this had to be done to ensure future expandability. Nevertheless, your old files can easily be converted to version 1.1 files by again importing their original TEXT-files (coordinates) and saving them as MW-files. The version 1.0 folder of MicroWorld should be discarded and replaced by the version 1.1 folder in order to completely replace the old, now incompatible, demo-files and slide shows. Precautions have been made to prevent such format changes in the future. Stefan Abrecht, August1993 Science

TopPred 3.2 sci/tihts.hqx Manuel G. Claros and G. von Heijne 13 Dec 1993 Predicts transmembrane domains of proteins. TihTs implemented a new strategy for predicting transmembrane domains of proteins and their putative topology when their localisation is the bacte- rial inner membrane, the eucaryotic plasma membrane, and less accurately, the mitochondrial and cloroplast outer membrane. The algorithm has been described for baterial proteins in G. von Heijne, J. Mol.Biol 255,487-494 (1992), and for eucaryotic membranes in Sipos & von Heijne, Eur. J. Biochem. 213,1333-1340.

Alexander Reads snd/alexander-reads.hqx 15 Aug 1993 "Alexander" ‘s voice from the Gala-Tea collection. Several people have complained about the quality of the voices included with the new apple speech manager. I'm not sure about the legality of distributing the higher-quality voices found on the Apple Developer's CD, so I don't want to try, but there's still hope: This file is a System 7 sound file containing a sample of the "Alexander" voice from the Gala-Tea collection.

Dvorakian Beeps snd/dvorakian-beeps.hqx Kevin Savetz 18 Sep 1993 The Dvorakian beeps digitized of a CD-ROM. In April of 1990, Apple released a CD-ROM entitled the "Technical Support Information Source Sampler." It consisted of a lot of product demos and was mostly uninteresting. Thanks to the wonders of science, two audio tracks are on the same CD. One features columnist/pundit John C. Dvorak mumbling something about the future of computers and how everything becomes obsolete... In the course of his diatrib^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hnarration, he begins speaking phrases to use as the "beep sounds" for your computer. He says, "If you're going to be insulted by your computer, it might as well be me doing the insulting." So, I have digitized the Dvorakian beeps, so you can have a little bit of Dvorak in your computer too. Sounds attached are: Switch colas. That's wrong. Guess again! What a blunder. What a clown! Is this FUN for you? Read the documentation. I don't think so! I am not responsible for any harm that may come to you or your computer for using these sounds. I just digitized 'em. If this is useful, I dunno. The faint of heart better stick with "Droplet," "Indigo," or even "Simple Beep." Kevin Savetz Sound-General
Sampled Simple Beep SND snd/sampled-simple-beep.hqx Mitchell S. Cohen 11 Aug 1993 Sampled version of the tried-and-true "simple beep”. Due to popular frustration with the new Sound Manager 3.0, enclosed is SAMPLED-SIMPLE-BEEP-SND.HQX, a SAMPLED version of our tried-and-true "simple beep." It is in System-7 sound format, sampled at 8-bits, 22KHz, mono. This was created by connecting the sound-output from one Mac into the sound-input of another. Cleaned up slightly in Sound Edit Pro. Just drag it into your SYSTEM file, select it in your Sound control panel device, and away you go. For anyone wondering WHY...Sound Manager 3.0, which does all sorts of wonderful things, doesn't play the old Simple Beep in the same way. It doesn't include a DIFFERENT sound, just plays the old one in a new way. Someone on Info-Mac reported this as something to do with playing square waves correctly. Well I didn't like the "corrected" simple beep, so I've sampled it the way it was. Here for your enjoyment. -- Mitch Cohen Sound-General

BigSound 1.0 Moderators: please put this in the sounds directory BigSound requires system 7.0 or later to run. Lets you record, and play BIG sounds if you have a built in microphone (ones longer than 10 seconds, depending on how much memory/hd space you have). You can drop any folder/file into it on the desktop and it'll play any sounds it finds inside. When it plays sounds, it plays them in the background so you can use your mac to do other things while listening... If you don't have a microphone on your mac, you can still use bigsound to play sounds... And, the usual... Although BigSound has a very robust error handling system built in, and I believe BigSound to be free of bugs, you must use use BigSound at your own risk, and you, yourself, take any responsibility for any damages you may encur as a result of using BigSound.

FilePlayer - Playing soundfiles in the background by Bernd Engist, Germany Version 1.0 The intention of FilePlayer is to give an example of the power of some sound manager routines introduced with System 7. It will turn your Mac into a - rather expensive - tape recorder, by playing music in the background while you do your work. FilePlayer can record directly to file, this allows you to play large soundfiles, as large as your harddrive can handle. You can use FilePlayer to produce startup music without any loss of memory, because FP quits automatically when your startup sound has finished. FP will only work with System 7 or later and will not run on the Plus or the SE because they are lacking the Apple Sound Chip.

Mandarin 1.1 snd/util/mandarin-11.hqx Liedong Zheng Liedong Zheng 23 Nov 1993 A standalone Chinese Pronunciation Tool. Mandarin v 1.1 Liedong Zheng, Nov. 1993 Version 1.1 has a minor change of the naming scheme of "snd " resources, it should be transparent to end users. Thanks to Ed Lai for numerous help! The new internal naming scheme uses ShuangPin instead of PinYin, and enables Mandarin to use other sound libraries available in public domain. To use these sound libraries, you will have to rename the public domain sound data file to "sound.lib" and put it in the Mandarin folder. One alternative sound data file is the stack from Ed Lai's Cihui package (available from ftp.apple.com:pub/lai/cihui/dict/ chinese.sound.sit.hqx) The sound.lib is compressed by 3:1, and is about 4.3MB now rather than 12MB in the first release. The sound.lib included in the package is still a "demo" version, it ONLY has those "snd " resources to speak the sample files, if you want to speak other chinese files, you will need the complete sound.lib file, which is now *ONLY*available for anonymous ftp on two Internet sites: cnd.org:software/mac/sound, and ifcss.org:software/mac/sound This complete sound.lib file can also be opened by Hypercard, and is itself a standalone Chinese Pronunciation Tool, please see more info in the stack. I would like to thank those who sent me suggestions and comments on the network, especially Canhao Li for his encouragement, and special thanks go to a netter who revised the readme file for the first release, I apologize for losing his name. Mandarin version 1.1 still remains a freeware, please send bug reports, suggestions etc. to me. Liedong Zheng liedong@chem.columbia.edu November, 1993, New York City ======================================== **************readme file for version 1.0************** ||| FREEWARE ||||| Mandarin v 1.0 should run on any Mac running with either System 6.x.x or 7.x. Ever get tired of simply staring at a Chinese text on your screen, or on your printout? Here is an alternative :-) “Mandarin” is a small Macintosh FREEWARE program I wrote in the past few weeks. It *reads in* a Chinese text (GB- or BIG5-coded), and *speaks Mandarin aloud* through the Macintosh's speakers. :-) You can enjoy listening to Mandarin Chinese as you might a radio, and better yet, “Mandarin” can run in the background, while you are working on your term paper, viewing an image, or whatever you feel like. :-) It is also helpful for those who may wish to learn how to speak Mandarin Chinese: just run “Mandarin” in background, and use any Chinese viewer in the front to display the characters. (*please note, you will need to make a duplicate copy of your Chinese file for viewing*) This program is also a good tool for proofreading. No special hardware is needed on your mac, just double-click and have fun. The program uploaded to sumex-aim.stanford.edu is a "demo" version, it only contains sound resources to speak the sample files included. NO Chinese Operating System (OS) is required to run “Mandarin” but it WILL need about 500K of RAM to run--and “Mandarin” should run on any Mac running under either System 6.x.x or System 7.x, though I haven't had a chance to test it on *all* models. Your “Options”? 1) you only need to select either the so-called GB dictionary, or else the BIG5 dictionary before “Mandarin” can read anything. And, 2), if you wish to switch to the other dictionary, you will need to restart the “Mandarin” program. Finally, 3) if you wish to Pause, choose "About Mandarin" from Apple menu, and then when you are ready to resume, click OK. That’s it! The dictionaries are public domain dictionaries, and have been heavily edited/corrected to fit this program. I concentrated most of my energy on the GB dictionary, though I did correct a few errors in the BIG5 dictionary--nothing exhaustive. If you find any more errors in BIG5, please let me know, and I will try to remedy them later. Limitations =========== * This program bypasses special characters and non-printable characters in the text. * The program has not been designed to pronounce English words, but it will spell out any such word it encounters. * The program has not been designed to function as a voice-synthesizer. * Please bear in mind that the “Mandarin” you will hear has been “expressed” from a machine, so please don't expect native-speaker sound quality—— in fact, your first listening session may involve some slightly humorous “learning” and a dose of patience on your part. * Mandarin Chinese is a tone language; this program does NOT attempt to differentiate polyphonies, and instead picks a single tone for a polyphony. * The sound-library named "sound.lib" is far from perfect; I intend to improve the sound quality as I find the time. Acknowledgements ================ I should like to thank Jim Reekes for his DTS archive. I should also like to thank the editorial staff of Hua Xia Wen Zhai for their continuing and enthusiastic support of community service; the publication of this magazine has substantially promoted Chinese computing in many aspects, at least having introduced me to the world of Chinese computing. Legal stuff =========== All rights reserved. This program can be freely distributed provided the whole package is not altered or modified in any way. The file named “sound.lib” may not be used without permission from the author. Please pass along to me your suggestions and any bug reports. ***** Sit back and enjoy! ***** Liedong Zheng, June, 1993 Sound-Utilities
Mandel Music snd/util/mandel-music-hc.hqx Roger R. Espinosa 28 Jul 1993 Converts data into musical notes. Oops. I managed to submit an early prototype of MandelMusic, which will have zero functionality to the net.audience. :-( Below is the description and binhex'd code for the *real* version. Roger ======= This is a HyperCard 2.1 stack called "MandelMusic" -- a little project that we worked on this summer to explore the relationship between math, music, and graphics. Alas, there's no graphic of the Mandelbrot fractal in this stack, only the raw data (code included, though). The stack converts the data into musical notes, based on how you define "the scale." MandelMusic has a variety of ways built-in to tweak the compositions it generates, without having to delve into the fractal scripts; several such "variations" are included. Nothing fancy, but it's eerie how "real" the music sounds (especially "Donna's Version (Tweaked"). Obviously, it's freeware, but we'd appreciate any comments or thoughts on sonic fractals. :-) Sound-Utilities

Midi Adapters snd/util/midi-adapters.hqx Michael O'Hara Michael O'Hara 12 Nov 1993 Works with the powered adapters on the mac protable. About mac.midi (revc) (Note: this file is a companion to the macbasic.gif, and the macdelux.gif files. These 3 files must always be distributed together, and in an unmodified form - other than this restriction, you are free to use the files as you wish) Open this file with teach text for best results. I designed these adapters as a lark some time ago. being rather dis-satisfied with the self powered adapters that would not work on the mac portable. (This machine is the worst of the lot as far as available voltage goes) The power supply in these units is derived from the drive signals on the mac connected to the adapter. The trick is to use schottky diodes - in the basic model I used MBR330 diodes, as these were what were available to me. These are rather oversized for the application, but work fine. In the revised unit, 1N5817 diodes are used. These are interchangable, and the only requirement for the schottky diodes is a 100mA/25PIV rating. If you are using these units on a desktop mac, you can use ordinary 1N4000 diodes. As for the 6N137, these can be substituted - there are suitable _active_ opto-isolators made by several companies. For example, the 6N138, and the Sharp PC900 will work. Note that the device should trigger at 4 mA or so, as the 'space' current is 5 mA. As the 6N137 is a open collector device, the pullup resistor may not be required with other devices. The 1MHz crystal oscillator is of the ordinary metal, rectangular variety. Pin numbers on the plugs are the standard numbers on the connectors - these may not be marked on the sockets, so the pinouts are reproduced here- 8 7 6 4 2 5 5 4 3 1 3 - this is looking into sockets from the outside 2 1 MiniDIN-8 DIN-5 The MIDI spec says that the shield must be connected directly to ground on the MIDI OUT end, and connected through a 0.1uF, 200V cap on the MIDI IN end. I consider these connections to be unneeded, but you may wish to install them. In the Delux version, the THRU button is added, and TX-RX lights with pulse stretchers to make the signals more visible are added. You can, of course, leave all the lights and associated stuff disconnected. Be sure to wire any unused inputs of the '04 to the -2.5V supply. Michael O'Hara ------Release history-------- 10/28/93 First release. 10/29/93 Noticed that the released "deluxe" schematic didnot include a correction in the wiring for the "thru" switch. 11/4/93 Correction to the indicator lamps (moral - dont lose the redline :) ) Also clarified the documentation somewhat. 11/6/93 Typo in the revised text file.

One of the nicest things is that you can click in the progress bar to instantaneous skip to that portion of the sound. Has an irritating voice as part of the interface if the Speech Manager is present (which can be turned off). I hate writing documentation that's why it's freeware. Sound-Utilities
Sound Mover 1.9 snd/util/sound-mover-19.hqx Riccardo Ettore Glenn Schaffer 3 Aug 1993 Translates and manipulates sound file formats. Here is an extract from Riccardo Ettore's shareware "Sound Manager Package", version 1.9, not to be confused with Apple's new Sound Manager 3.0. The principal file is Sound Mover 1.9, which translates and manipulates a variety of sound file formats. It has an interface similar to Apple's Font/DA Mover. This updated version provides a few new features: - asynchronous play of sounds - creation of System-7 sound files - bug fixes to version 1.8c Through several hours of playing arou..., er, testing, I encountered no crashes under System-701-T or System-607 on a MacIIcx (couldn't say that for SMP v1.8c). For new users, this is not the complete package you will receive when you send your shareware fee to Riccardo, but it is fully functional and includes full documentation. The shareware fee is $20 - $25 (depending on what you want back); see the docs. Support Shareware! Nobody's getting filthy rich from shareware sales, and your conscience will let YOU sleep better! (hint, hint). No, I don't get a cut of the "profits." For registered users, this package includes all SMP files updated since version 1.76, including SndControl 2.2.2 plus some older small files.

SoundEdit<->MATLAB 1.4 snd/util/soundedit-matlab-converter-14.hqx Jonathan Jacobs 15 Aug 1993 Converts soundEdit files to MatLab files and back . How many times have you wished for better sound editing tools on the Mac? SoundEdit and its contemporaries are very powerful, but sometimes you need that extra something that they just don't have. Fortunately there is a very powerful signal processing program for the Mac, MATLAB, which is a matrix mathematics package that can do some powerful manipulations. Unfortunately, MATLAB can't yet import Mac sound files, nor can SoundEdit (et. al.) export MATLAB files. Hmmmm. Fortunately you now can use these programs to convert back and forth between the two formats. Unfortunately there are no more "unfortunately"'s. Or perhaps that's fortunate. This is version 1.4 of the package. Anything previous sucks and is really a tool of Satan. jon Sound-Utilities

I recomplied Mike Morton's ars.c code to use think's console library. This makes it a little more compatible but its still just a C program with command line interface. I gave it a new signature and icon to keep it separate for the other version. I did this because someone here needed to use ars magna and the old version would trash his screen. Hopefully some one will give it a good interface and make it a real mac program. I just don't have the time. Matt Text Processing

BBEdit 2.5.2->2.5.3 Updater text/bbedit-252-to-253-updt.hqx Bare-Bones Software Rich Siegel 30 Oct 1993 Fixes a bug in BBEdit version 2.5.2. The recently released 2.5.2 maintenance version of BBEdit has a bug in it which renders it incapable of working with THINK C projects for browsing and searching. This bug was the result of a source-management problem (i.e. a screwup on my part) when creating the shipping build. The bug is nondestructive; BBEdit will not crash due to it, and no data will be lost or corrupted. The symptoms are that garbage is displayed in the project browser window when opening a file, and attempts to search THINK C projects will result in numerous file system error messages. This bug does not affect any other part of BBEdit's functionality, and specifically does not affect BBEdit's ability to function as the external editor for THINK C/Symantec C++ 6.0. If you have previously updated your 2.5 or 2.5.1 version to 2.5.2, the attached updater will turn your 2.5.2 version into 2.5.3. If you recently received a finished-goods BBEdit package with 2.5.2 on the distribution disk, we will automatically send you an updater disk, and it should arrive by the end of next week (at the latest). You can make use of the attached updater if you don't wish to wait for the floppy to arrive. This updater is also available immediately for anonymous FTP from world.std.com, in /ftp/pub/bbedit. We at Bare-Bones Software regret any inconvenience this bug may have caused, and we appreciate your continued support and consideration.

Revisions 1.2.1: * Change all NewHandle() calls to use BBEdit's callback-Allocate() calls. * Free memory allocated when error occures when unable to allocating speech channel. * #ifdef StackDebug code to check stack space problem (OS Error 28). >I can't get your Speaking BBEdit to work with BBEdit Lite 2.3.1. I have fix the problems with error code -244 - voice not available (I now use the 1st voice if female voice is not available). error code -240 is just that Speech manager is not installed or you have not restarted since you installed it. error code -241 is synth can't open up for some reason - memory? NOTE: I have been unable to fix the following problems: 1) Due to some unknow reason the sound manger requires more stack space than is available with BBEdit This causes system crashes with error ID 28 - stack has entered the application heap. Results of my debugging last night: - initial stack space is around 23,000 bytes when the module is first called, - as text to sound is initially being processed the stack space goes down to less then 4000 bytes, (monitored via Speech Manager's Word callback routine). - once the sound is playing the stack space goes back up to 23,000 bytes, if it gets that far. (My guess is Async interrupt routine used by speech manager is using lot's of stack space). As a result, I don't know if I will be able to fix it, does anyone know how to fix it? 2) The callback routine that allows me to hilight the word currently being spoken does not update the screen if it has to scroll the text into the window. The only way I was able to force an update is to do a cut/paste operation to the file! I have try it with BBEdit V2.2.1 and BBEdit Lite V2.3.1 same bugs on LC III's (System 7.1, 12M RAM) and Macintosh IIci (System 7.0.1, 8M ram). The Centris 650 (System 7.1 + AppleScript, 24M RAM) - Stack bug does not show up on the Centris 650 but the usage is still high and dangerlessly low. I will try to find time to create a TeachText type XTND capable program for speaking word processing files in the next few weeks. If you know how to fix the program, let me know, I have included the source code with some #ifdef around stack debugging code. Enclosed is v1.21. >How do you install it?

BibliographyManII 2.0 text/bilbiography-manager-ii-20.hqx David Tremmel 15 Dec 1993 Keeps track of bibliographic references. Bibliography Manager II is a HyperCard application that was created to help researchers and authors keep track of and store information about bibliographic references, and to produce Bibliography or Literature Cited sections for papers. This version (2.0) requires HyperCard v. 2.1 to run, and is shareware. The reference card for each bibliographic entry has separate fields for Author, Date, Title, Source, Volume, Pages, Keywords, and Notes, along with places to indicate whether you have a copy of the item and how it is filed. You can do "quick searches" for text in individual fields, or use HyperCard's card marking abilities to identify and work with only a subset of the entries in the stack. You can also create and save custom text import and export formats, so that you can import references from text files of varying formats, and can create custom bibliography lists to match the format required by your professor or publisher. The program can also store a list of abbreviations for journal names that is cross-referenced to the names on the reference cards, allowing you to use either full names or abbreviations when you create bibliography lists. You can create as many different bibliography stacks as you wish, and exchange bibliographic entries, import and export formats, and journal abbreviation lists among them. There is also an on-line help facility. Since I designed this stack for myself and my colleagues in science, and am not familiar with all the protocols for literature cataloging and referencing in other areas of study, it may not suit everyone's purpose, but I hope that it can be a useful tool for those who want to keep track of literature references and who need to create reference lists when they write papers.

Change Charset text/bbedit-change-charset.hqx Sami-Jaakko Tikka 24 Aug 1993 BBEdit external which allows one to convert characters. Hello! This is my first posting of Macintosh software. I hope everything that is required is here... Change Charset is an BBEdit external which allows one to convert characters from/to the Macintosh charset to/from ISO-Latin-1 and to/from 7-bit Scandinavian (which is still largely used in Scandinavian unix machines!). This probably makes Change Charset interesting for Europeans only. Still, it never hurts to remind the English-speaking ASCII-world that there are languages which DO need more than 7-bit characters ;-) The conversion can be done in place, to a new window or the converted text can be copied to the clipboard. If there's a selection, Change Charset will act on the selection, otherwise it will process the whole window. This program can be freely copied for non-commercial purposes. Text Processing
Dataman 2.0.2 text/data-man-202.hqx Andrewt Thomas-Cramer 12 Jul 1993 Extensions to the simple Find & Replace command. Many times you can use the find-and-replace function of your software to make your changes. But sometimes your changes -- even though similar -- cannot be expressed as "find this, replace that." Sometimes what you replace depends on what you find. Sometimes you want to do other things than replace, other things than find. And sometimes you have to make the same changes to many documents. You can give DataMan instructions in any order. The instructions are familiar dialog-like objects that scroll in a window; they can be saved between sessions so that you never have to enter them again. And you can create menu items for these scripts of instructions, with keyboard shortcuts. Need to change all-uppercase to uppercase-and-lowercase often? Press command-0 for Smart Lowercase, one of several dozen pre-written scripts accompanying the application. One strength of DataMan is symbolization. You can describe text using symbols, just like you can use the symbol ^p for carriage return in other software. Only DataMan understands many, many more symbols -- both specific like ^p, and wild-cards like ^aPrice, which matches any price. You can redefine wild-cards and create new ones. With symbols you could, for example, find any date and replace it with the date found plus one day. Since so many options are available, DataMan provides you with a symbol-editing dialog. An example in which DataMan saved me hours: I Was working on a 40-page cross-index to a large catalog. Each page had some 80 page numbers listed on it, along with other numbers. The client decided to increase each page number by one. Changing 2400 page numbers by hand would have taken hours to enter and proof. DataMan did it in minutes -- and without mistakes. DataMan is fast, easy and powerful. This introduction doesn't begin to cover all DataMan's powers. Enjoy. Text Processing
DropText 1.3 text/drop-text-13.hqx Jasna M. Arezina-Wilson 17 Nov 1993 Drag-and-drop text file converter. -------------------- About Drop Text 1.3: -------------------- This is a drag-and-drop text file converter. It can convert between Mac, Unix, and MS-DOS files, and can convert AppleWorks AWP files into text. It has lots of nice features and safty checks, and can convert more than one type into the target type at a time (ex: Mac and Dos into Unix). Packed with StuffIt; docs included; source code available (just ask). ============ Please note: ============ THE UPLOADER IS **NOT** THE AUTHOR! However, all email will be forwarded to the author. Stuff new with this version (1.3): * Updates Finder info faster. * Converts AppleWorks Word Processor files to text. * Allows optional stripping of the high bit of text. * Dialog fixes. Stuff new with version 1.2: * doesn't wreck with buss error in dialogs any more. * can change file/creator type of file(s) processed. * can remove trailing spaces/tabs from lines. Stuff new with version 1.1: * strips bit 7 from text files. * can handle more than 40 files at a time. * works better with b&w systems. * less occurance of "buss error" on startup. * progress dialog doesn't whip in and out. * faster overall.

Easy View 2.3.2 text/easy-view-232.hqx Adam C. Engst 10 May 1993 An application for intelligent browsing of collections of structured text files. Introduction ------------ Easy View is an application for intelligent browsing of collections of structured text files, large or small. It allows very fast access by recognizing the internal structure. All of the following text formats can be viewed using Easy View: * setext, including TidBITS and similar publications * Info-Mac, c.s.m.p, or similar digests * Mail collections: Internet, Navigator, Notebook, etc. * Text with "simple" format * Dictionaries * Plain text New Features ------------ * Apple event support: ability to open the current file under System 7 * Filters generalize the concept of case-independent search: diacritical marks can be ignored, too * "Search from top" option in Find dialog * "Hide Top Window" command works very similar to the Hide command in the Application menu (Hidden window names are in italic) * "Use Styles" menu toggles the use of styles. When something is copied while it is on, clipboard contents are also styled. * Temporary memory is used for parsing under System 7, thus decreasing the minimum Finder partition * When text is scrolled , an overlap with the previous window is retained Warning ------- The new "Styles" feature is known to cause occasional system crashes in some configurations. Please uncheck "Use Styles" menu item if you encounter such a crash. This feature is still experimental and it was included only as a demo. When styles are on, printing will be disabled, text selection may misbehave, and word wrap may not work properly. Styles should be turned off during extensive searches for better performance. Extracting always turns styles off automatically. Text Processing
Easy View Sumex Archives text/easy-view-sumex-archives.hqx Akif Eyler 6 May 1993 Compact table of contents for part of sumex archives.

As is, the view will show just the names of the files in these directories. If the corresponding 00*.abs files are also downloaded from sumex into the same folder, then the abstracts will be shown as well. (The file names must match perfectly) In order to add some of the remaining 17 directories, just put the desired 00*.abs into the same folder, and include the files in the view. It is recommended that Auto-include and Auto-modify flags turned on (see Prefs) for care-free performance. This view reflects the status of the archives as of May 1.

EBook 1.0 text/ebook-10-hc.hqx Paul W Baim 26 Jul 1993 Turn a text file into an electronic paperback book. EBook is my answer to the growing collection of electronic text "front ends" available for fee or free. Many of these front ends are based on Hypercard, as is EBook. Where EBook differs, however, is in basic philosophy. My goal was to create a simple, self-configuring stack that would turn a plain text file into the electronic equivalent of a paperback book: no frills, compact, and easy to read. You will not find elegant page layout, provision for margin notes, or other special features. You will find: o Bookmarks you can set on each page. o Simple text search. o "Open where I quit!" A possibly unique feature that remembers the page you were on when you quit and returns to that page when you next startup. For those of you travelling with PowerBooks or simply looking for a way to read the growing number of fine works becoming available as plain text files, I hope EBook provides a simple way to enjoy yourself. EBook is implemented using Hypercard 2.1 EBook is freeware. However, EBook is NOT released into the public domain. I reserve all rights to the layout and script features. No third party may use EBook in whole or in part to produce a library of works for sale at any price except minimal cost to defray the expense of materials and handling. This explicitly excludes companies such as EduCorp that sell collections of free and shareware for a fee. I do authorize the release of EBook as part of the sumex CDROM collection.

Excalibur1.4.1 text/excalibur-141.hqx Rick Zaccone Rick Zaccone 7 Aug 1993 Spelling checker for LaTeX documents. This is release 1.4.1 of Excalibur. 8/4/93 Excalibur is a Macintosh spelling checker for LaTeX documents. It also does a fairly good job with plain TeX files. It reads files of type TEXT and it is smart enough to ignore most LaTeX commands and a fair number of plain TeX commands. Since it just ignores these commands, it will also serve quite nicely as a spelling checker for any TEXT file that doesn't contain any LaTeX or TeX commands. (It is not completely accurate to say that Excalibur ignores LaTeX commands. It will process any arguments that contain text). Excalibur will also spell check the clipboard, making it useful as a spelling checker for text editors, mail programs, etc. Excalibur is a stand-alone application that we have tested with both OzTeX and Textures documents. The fact that it is a stand-alone application should not present any inconvenience since it works with MultiFinder under System 6 and it is System 7 aware. You will need System 6.0.4 or higher to run Excalibur. If you are running System 7 or greater, there is balloon help. Excalibur is free. Version 1.4.1 includes the following changes. - Repaired several minor bugs including better error handling under low memory conditions. - You can now convert larger text files into dictionaries. If you create a really large dictionary you may not be able to read it with an older version of Excalibur. - Excalibur knows about the conventions in german.sty. If you turn on the option to treat " as if it were \", Excalibur will also know about the hyphens and quotes defined in german.sty. Version 1.4 includes the following changes. - You may now spell check the contents of the clipboard. You may save the results back to the clipboard too. - You may now teach Excalibur about new commands and environments that you have defined. - Excalibur now handles the \cite command properly. - Many smaller changes too. - If you have an older version of Excalibur, you will need to rebuild your desktop in order to see the new icon for definition files.

InControl 2.0 Demo text/in-control-20-demo.hqx Franklin Davis 18 Sep 1993 Demo version of this popular outlining software. [I was asked by Attain Corp. to post this demo to the archives. They gave permission to include it in the CD-ROM. I've sent them the posting guidelines so they'll post updates directly in the future. --Franklin Davis 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.

I enclose a rtf to html converter written by Chris Hector and posted here with his permission. The original source is ftp.cray.com in /src/cjh/RTF/macbin202.sit.hqx. The markup language used by world-wide-webb servers is called html. This program rtftohtml takes rtf output from e.g. Microsoft Word and converts it to a html text file. If necessary, this can be edited using a html aware editor such as BBedit fitted with html extensions (available from Sumex). The output consists of a html file along with any graphic files saved as 1.pict etc. If all these files are copied to a www server directory, they become accessible via clients such as Mosaic. Note that currently, html does not support styles such as sub or superscripts, nor does it appear to cope with greek letters etc. Any chemists out there who wish to lobby for such support?

Style 1.2.1 text/style-121.hqx 18 Oct 1993 Create small styled text documents. This is Style 1.2.1, a simple application that lets you create small (up to about 32,000 characters) styled text documents. You can set font, font size, style attributes and color of individual characters with easily accessible menus. You can open any number of documents at the same time, the only limit being available memory. You can create small stand-alone documents ('AutoViewers') that may be viewed and printed without the application itself. Last, but not least, Style fully supports the Claris XTND architecture: you can import and export documents in various word processor formats. The Style 1.2.1 package includes translators for MacWrite 5.0 and MacWrite II. Style takes advantage of most System 7 features and user interface improvements (including Balloon Help, stationery pads, movable modal dialogs, temporary memory, apple events, etc.) but can work with any system starting from 6.0.4. System 7.0 or newer (7.1 recommended) is required to handle non-Roman script systems properly. Main changes from version 1.2: * Better Script Manager support. * Support for inline input in double-byte script systems (yes, that means Style is KanjiTalk7 compatible and TSM-aware!) * Ability to set print margins accurately. * Various bug fixes.

Wan, 1993. ] [ Portions ) Symantec. Xdiff code modified from NCSA's sources. ] [This program is freeware. ] >From the Readme file: TCXdiff is a text file comparison utility which generates a difference (diff) file for a given source file. The diff file can be used to update an older version of the source file stored on another computer (normally, a Unix machine). By transferring the much shorter diff file instead of the entire source file, significant upload time can be saved. This is especially useful for people who connect to Unix hosts using slow dial-up modems. Although the primary focus of TCXdiff is for programmers who need to synchronize their program files between their personal computer and a Unix host, it can be used to update any other text file as well. TCXdiff is based on the freeware program Xdiff written in August 1989 at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). You can obtain Xdiff via anonymous ftp from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu. The Xdiff package is needed in addition to TCXdiff since TCXdiff DOES NOT perform the updating per se, but relies on xfix (part of the Xdiff package) to perform that task. Xfix was written primarily for Unix hosts, I have not tried to compile it on other platforms. TCXdiff is functionally equivalent to Xdiff. However, it adds the ability to specify default folders and filenames (useful for batch processing), as well as drag-and-drop file processing capabilities. t.c. Text Processing

TextToMac 1.2 text/text-to-mac-12.hqx Takahiro Sumiya SUMIYA Takahiro 4 Oct 1993 Converts the end-of-line code of text files . [TextToMac 1.2] TextToMac converts the end-of-line code of text files between Macintosh, MS-DOS, and UNIX formats. Just drag & drop the file you want to convert to the TextToMac icon. First, you set the default way conversion method for each file type (from Macintosh/MS-DOS/UNIX to Macintosh/MS-DOS/UNIX). When you drag & drop a file, the program recognizes its type and, voila, you get the converted file. Requires System 7.0. Freeware. % Takahiro Sumiya, Hiroshima Univ., JAPAN. Text Processing
Undigest text/undigest-unix.txt Andrew Brandt 29 Oct 1993 Useful for parsing digest email. This perl script runs on Unix systems. It is useful for parsing digest email. For example, from inside elm (the Unix mail program) simply pipe a message thru "undigest". "Undigest" will break all the messages inside the digest into individual messages and display them. It does not alter the original message, it makes a copy. I did not write this, I just use it. I guess this should show up in the Unix dir. -Andy Text Processing

Bungee gui/ad/bungee.hqx Allan M. Bloom 1 Sep 1993 Screen saver showing a bungee jumper when his cord suddenly snaps. In keeping with the serious professional nature of this forum, I submit the BUNGEE After Dark module, downloaded from the Washington Apple Pi bulletin board. Following is from the README: Al Bloom, Virginia Tech No, I'm not the author >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bungee is a screen saver that depicts exactly what would happen if a bungee jumper's cord suddenly snapped. Settings can be made to see a man jump. When the cord breaks he falls to the ground with a grotesque splat. You can also choose to see a cow jumping. When the cow hits the ground it turns into a pile of steaks, hamburgers and sausages. Another setting allows you to see what would happen if the cord didn't snap but the man did instead. Of course for those that don't like the blood and gore, a successful option is available where the jumper just bounces on the cord. Bungee requires After Dark 2.0u (or greater) for the Macintosh and System 7 (or System 6 with 32 bit quickdraw) to run. Bungee is shareware: $3.00 to Midnight Software. User Interface-AfterDark

Alias Director 3.5.2 gui/alias-director-352.hqx Ken Simpson 16 Nov 1993 Makes the various aspects of alias management easy . Alias Director was written to make creating, using, and the various aspects= of alias management as easy as possible. To provide the maximum in speed and convenience, Alias Director makes extensive use of the drag-and-drop featur= e of System 7. =20 =CA=20 To create an alias for an item ("item" in this document refers to anything = that appears in the Finder--file, folder, disk, or partition--that you can norma= lly create an alias for), drop the item onto the Alias Director icon. A dialog = box will appear that contains the item's name in a field for editing, a pop-up = menu for telling Alias Director where you want the alias it creates, and some buttons. The menu contains three choices initially: Apple Menu Items, Deskt= op, and New Location=C9. To put an alias in a location ("location" refers to fo= lder, disk or partition) listed in the menu, select it from the menu and click th= e Create button. To add a folder or disk to the menu, go to the folder or dis= k you want to add, and click the button at the bottom whose name is that of the f= older or disk you want to add. To create an alias in a location without adding it= to the menu, click the Create Alias button. Once you add a location to the men= u, it will be there every time you use Alias Director, unless you choose to remov= e it.

Applicon 2.3 pt 1 of 4 gui/applicon-23.hqx Rick Holzgrafe 7 Aug 1993 Places a "tile" on your desktop for each running application . Applicon 2.3 - part 1 of 4 This is Applicon 2.3, an upgrade to Applicon 2.2 and earlier versions. Applicon is a utility for System 7. It places a "tile" on your desktop for each running application listed under the Application menu. Each tile displays the icon and name of "its" application. Clicking the tile brings its application to the front, the same as if you'd selected that app from the Application menu. Option-clicking will hide the current app's windows before bringing the selected app to the front. Applicon is nice because you can see what's running without pulling down a menu, and because the tiles are easier to manage than menu items: you don't have to stop and read, and you don't have to be too precise with the mouse. This release, version 2.3, fixes a few bugs and introduces three new features, including an option to "Always Hide Others." All users are recommended to upgrade. Applicon is a fully compatible System 7.0 application that shows how some things that used to require INITs can now be done with a small app. You can launch Applicon at any time, but it's most convenient to simply drop it into your Startup Items folder inside your System Folder. It features full on-line help, including Balloon Help. Applicon requires System 7.0 or later. It is free. By Rick Holzgrafe rmh@taligent.com Copyright 1991-1993 by Semicolon Software.

If you see the window in the Finder you can instantly make that your current folder simply by clicking on it. If want to select the desktop, simply click on the desktop.

ColorSwitch 2.3 gui/color-switch-230.hqx Derek Chee 6 Dec 1993 Allows effortless switching between the available color modes. Version 2.3.0 implements Ambrosia Software's new license code registration system, which allows registered users to personalize their copy of ColorSwitch and remove the shareware notices. ColorSwitch is a Control Panel that allows you to effortlessly switch between the available color modes of any attached monitors. Instead of the inconvenience of using the Monitors Control Panel every time you want to switch between color modes, you can simply hold down the ColorSwitch modifier keys and click anywhere on the monitor you want to change. A menu will pop up listing the available color modes for the monitor you clicked on; just select the color mode you want and ColorSwitch will acquiesce. Under System 7 or later, things are even easier: ColorSwitch installs a Monitor icon-menu next to the Balloon Help menu, from which you can simply choose the color mode you desire for your main monitor. ColorSwitch comes in very handy for many day-to-day tasks. Certain programs require that your monitor be set to a certain color mode in order to run, and using the Monitors control panel every time you need to switch color modes grows tiresome quickly. Your Macintosh will also operate more quickly if you normally operate in black and white mode, switching to a more colorful setting only when you need to. ColorSwitch makes switching color modes so quick and convenient, you will find yourself using it constantly to improve your quality of life at the computer. Once installed, ColorSwitch uses up 5K of memory. User Interface-General

DarkShutdown 2.1 gui/darkside-shutdown-21.hqx Alex Rodella 6 Oct 1993 Darkside 4.1 module which will restart/shut down the Mac. DarkShutdown is a Darkside 4.1 module which will restart/shut down your Mac besides darkening the screens after the given time has elapsed. The Finder or At Ease must be running, because I restart/shut down by telling them to do it (with Apple Events), so that all open applications are closed correctly. There is even an option for responding automatically to the "Do you want to save..." dialog boxes, useful if the Mac is unattended. It is fully integrated with Alessandro Levi Montalcini's Shutdown Delay 2.0.1. Version 2.0 lets you restart/shut down: - at a specified time; - once a specified period of time has elapsed after the Mac starts up; - once a specified period of time has elapsed after the screen saver engages. DarkShutdown fades the screen and shows the countdown. Version 2.1 speaks the countdown (ten-nine-eight-seven...) then speaks "restart/shutdown" if the Speech Manager is installed.

It's PostcardWare, which means if you like it, send me a picture postcard from your home town!

Discolour 1.0.2 gui/discolour-102.hqx Andrew Welch 14 Oct 1993 Displays color icons in place of the black and white floppy disk icons. Discolour works only under System 7 on color-capable Macintoshes. Discolour is a system extension for System 7.0 and later that rectifies a shortcoming in the wonderful Finder 7.0: floppy disk icons are displayed as the ugly old black and white icon while the rest of the desktop is bursting with color! Discolour causes the Finder to display beautiful full-color icons in place of the black and white floppy disk icons when you are in 16 color mode or greater. Just drag Discolour onto your System Folder icon and restart your Macintosh to activate it. Discolour uses less than 1K of memory once it is installed, and was optimized so that it won't slow your Macintosh down, so the cost of having beautiful color disk icons is minimal. Discolour is completely free; I hope you enjoy it! User Interface-General

DumbInit gui/dumb-init.hqx Thomas R Lawrence 26 Jul 1993 Shows as many icons as it can find in it's resource fork when it starts up. Have you ever wanted to impress your friends by having 5 or 6 rows of INITs show up when you turned on your computer, but you couldn't find that many or you didn't have enough memory, or they didn't get along with each other? Well, this little INIT shows as many icons as it can find in it's resource fork when it starts up. Then it disappears from memory without a trace (I hope). It even randomly pauses between each icon to make the sequence believable. (The drive light won't be flashing, but who'll notice that anyway.) Thomas R. Lawrence User Interface-General
Eclipse 2.2 gui/eclipse-220.hqx Derek Chee 6 Dec 1993 Dims your screen after a specified period of inactivity. Version 2.2.0 implements Ambrosia Software's new license code registration system, which allows registered users to personalize their copy of Eclipse and remove the shareware notices. Eclipse offers several features, the most important of which is the ability to display any picture you like (such as a company logo or a picture of your favorite model) when your monitor is dimmed. No matter how large the picture is, Eclipse _still_ uses up only 5K of memory and very little processor time. Eclipse is a Control Panel that automatically dims your screen after a specified period of inactivity. Your monitor can sustain "burn in" damage if the same image is left on it for extended periods of time, which results in the ghosting of images and decreased monitor clarity. Your monitor is a vital part of your computer system, and often an expensive one at that, so it only makes sense to protect it. After Eclipse notices that you have not used your computer for a period of time, it blanks the monitor and draws the current time at random locations on the screen to prevent burn in damage. Background tasks such as spreadsheet recalulation, database sorting, or printing will continue normally while Eclipse has dimmed your monitor. Eclipse offers several unique features that should make it your screen saver of choice: - Your monitor is transparently protected from damage - Background tasks will continue unhindered, because Eclipse uses very little processor time - Eclipse has been extensively tested, so you can use it with confidence - You can display your favorite picture while your monitor is dimmed - Companies can put their logo into Eclipse to have it displayed while their Mac's are idle - Eclipse uses very little memory, approximately 5K, so you won't be wasting memory for such a basic task as monitor dimming Once installed, Eclipse uses up 5K of memory.

Such events include opening and closing windows, creating and deleting files, and even modifying windows. All you really need to take advantage of this feature is a piece of code. Drag Finder Sounds and Finder Sounds Config to your system folder and reboot. You will then have a sonic Finder! Graham User Interface-General

Forward Delete 1.1 gui/forward-delete-11.hqx Alex Rodella 7 Nov 1993 Allows useof that mysterious key called forward delete. Forward Delete is a small extension that lets you use that mysterious key called forward delete, present on all Extended Keyboards. Press this key to delete the character at the right of the insertion point. You can now obtain the same effect by pressing shift-delete. Moreover, it lets you delete words with the Apple-approved combinations option-backspace and option-fwd del. It works with every application using TextEdit (if you do not know what TextEdit is, do not worry: it is simply that part of the Mac Operating System which manages basic text editing). Try it out with TeachText or in dialog boxes. I have been using it since 1992 (!) with no problems or incompatibilities at all. If you install this utility, you will find yourself using it more frequently, even in programs which have always supported it! The miracles of consistency between applications... This works even on a Plus under System 4.3, and (hopefully) under System 6 & 7 on any other Mac. New in 1.1: shift-delete now works as forward delete - useful on EVERY keyboard. This utility is FREE! Enjoy yourself! Fabrizio Oddone User Interface-General

This app sets the desktop pattern on your macintosh to a complex and irregular colour pixel pattern I made >From a picture I drew using that Aldus SuperPaint program. It's Freeware! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do... Works on multiple monitor systems, and is suitable for putting into your "Startup Items" folder if you're running system 7, although it should work on any colour Macintosh. This program does not attempt anything dangerous, like modifying the system file or anything like that, so I think it's safe. However, it goes without saying--use this program at your own risk. Oh, one last thing, if you notice the pattern dissapears after running the control pannel, just run FunkyDeskPat again... John Montbriand, of Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada. User Interface-General

Do you think the Finder is too slow and clumsy when navigating through your folder structure? Do you perhaps use a hierarchical Apple menu utility but are tired of zigging and zagging your mouse from submenu to submenu? Or maybe you just like color icons. If so, then you should try Greg's Browser. Displaying multiple folders in a single window, Greg's Browser lets you simultaneously see the contents of a folder, its parent, and a subfolder, providing a quick and easy way of moving both up and down through your folder hierarchy. PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENTATION FILE! Odds are that you will discover a few "new" features that have been included since version 1.0... Changes since version 1.1 ------------------------- o The Browser has a sleek new 3d grayscale interface ala System 7 Pro. o You can now resize the Browser window to show four file list panes. o You can now drag and drop the large file icon onto application bookmarks. o The file list title pop-ups and bookmarks now behave more intuitively. o The Browser will now do a "Get Info..." or "Reveal" if you select files while holding down the <option> or <control> keys respectively. o The scrolling keys on the extended keyboard now work correctly, and if you don't have the extended keyboard, you can use the numeric keypad. o Lots of minor changes, bug fixes, and improvements.

Greg's Buttons 3.1.3 gui/gregs-buttons-313.hqx Gregory D. Landweber 19 Nov 1993 Customizea the user interface of a Macintosh running System 7. 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 v3.1.2 -------------------- Fixed two minor conflicts with the system font substitution feature: o It now works with FrameMaker 4 (just ignore FrameMaker's font warnings). o It no longer messes with Geneva 12 (which it should never have done). Changes since v3.1 ------------------ o Fixed the conflict with the Now Menus application substitution feature. o Added Palatino 14 to the list of substitute system fonts. o You can now register online using CompuServe (but CompuServe gets 15%). o Please note that I fixed the conflict with Now Compress in version 3.1. 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 two versions each of Palatino and 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, etc.). o Colorizes the stop sign, caution, and note alert icons.

Icon Wizard gui/icon-wizard.hqx Mike Samuel Michael Martin 18 Sep 1993 Mike Samuel's drag-and-drop iconeditor . The enclosed stuffed binhexed file is Mike Samuel's drag-and-drop icon editor Icon Wizard. This app was reviewed in David Pogue's MacWorld column a couple of months ago and was rated the best icon editing program around for its value and feature list. I noticed that it wasn't at the sumex archive, so I thought I'd pass it along. Note that I am not the author, just thought it would make a fitting addition to the archive. The package consists of an application and an init. The program works by having an icon dropped on it, whereupon an extended get info window pops up with some buttons that allow you to edit, change etc, the existing icon. I noticed that the extension seems to be incompatible with Radius' RadiusWare control Panel (which is a pity for me), but other than that it looks like a nifty little utility. Cheers, Michael.

This lets you delete the program from the disk. Its still beta because some features still don't work the way I want them to and I have more features to add. Let me know your suggestions.

LaunchPad 3.0.1 gui/launch-pad-301.hqx J S Greenfield 23 Nov 1993 Maintains convenient access to System 7's drop-launching features. Application: LaunchPad(tm) 3.0.1 (Shareware, $11) Changes from version 3.0: LaunchPad 3.0.1 is a maintenance release that allows LaunchPad and LaunchPad Valet to peacefully coexist with certain extension combinations. Changes from version 2.0.2: LaunchPad 3.0 is a major upgrade that: -- introduces automated drop-launching via Valet Launching, -- includes the LaunchPad Valet utility for configuring Valet Launching preferences. Description: System 7's drop-launching features are a nice idea, but there is a catch: in order to drop documents onto an application, you need to have the application on the desktop, or in some other open window. This one problem is probably the single greatest impediment to realizing the full potential of drop-launching. In the past, you had basically two choices: either fill up your desktop with an array of various application icons, to keep them available for drop-launching, or keep your desktop clean, and limit your use of drop-launching to rare occasions. LaunchPad(tm) changes all that. LaunchPad is a simple utility designed to let you keep a clean desktop, but still maintain convenient access to System 7's drop-launching features. LaunchPad serves as a drag-and-drop dock for any applications that you choose. You simply drag documents to the LaunchPad icon, and then select an application to launch from the "get file" dialog. The dropped documents will then be opened using the selected application (if possible). LaunchPad also facilitates automated drop-launching with Valet Launching(tm). With the included utility, LaunchPad Valet(tm), you can configure LaunchPad to automate your most frequent drop- launching tasks. With LaunchPad, you keep your desktop clean and take advantage of System 7's drop-launching. So why use drop-launching or LaunchPad? If this question comes to mind, then you are probably one of the many people who have yet to experience just how convenient drop- launching can be. Drop-launching makes many tasks much easier. See the enclosed documentation for useful examples. Specifications: LaunchPad(tm) requires less than 35K of disk space, and as little as 45K of RAM. LaunchPad Valet(tm) requires less than 25K of disk space. User Interface-General

For example, with MacDOS you can print a series of text files without having to respond to any dialog at all, or change the creator of all files of a certain type whose names contain a particular sequence of characters. Be aware that MacDOS has a protection mechanism that lets you use its full functionality only if you register and pay for it. _--_|\ Giulio Zambon, User Interface-General

It is an MPW tool that you run with balloon help already turned on and it animates the balloon icon when you have no balloons on the screen. The drawing is very kosher, using CopyBits, and it just temporarily moves the grayrgn to allow itself to draw in the menubar. The lack of updating is an artifact that it is running as a tool and can't have MPW update its windows while LoonyHelp is running.

MacMiNT gui/mac-mint.hqx Brad Pickering 25 Oct 1993 A preemptive multitasking OS that runs as a process under the Mac OS. Below is the latest release of MacMiNT. I believe it is finally ready for general use. There are still bugs, but they seem to be rare and don't seem to be catastrophic. Still, MacMiNT should be used at your own risk. MacMiNT is a preemptive multitasking OS that runs as a process under the Mac OS. It is a port of MiNT 0.95 from the Atari ST. MiNT extends the Atari OS to support many UNIX like features. Many UNIX tools have been ported to MiNT, including gcc (v2.4.5), make, tcsh, and emacs. MacMiNT should be able to run on anything from a MacPlus with 2M ram and 3M disk space, on up to a Quadra with a ton of ram and a ton of disk space. But, I wouldn't bother with anything less than a MacII with 8M ram and 15M disk space. The default installation requires 5M free ram and 12M free disk space. If you don't use the default installation you could probably get away with a lot less ram and a lot less disk space. There is little to no documentation on MacMiNT. To use MacMiNT you should already be familiar with UNIX, or you should be prepared to do a lot of searching for documentation. MacMiNT is available at: suniams1.statistik.tu-muenchen.de in /pub/mac/MacMiNT/MacMiNT.13October93, nic.switch.ch in /software/mac/src/macmint, and archive.cis.ohio-state.edu in /pub/mac-unix/macmint. The distribution contains only the minimum files needed to get started. Several other packages will have to be retrieved from the network before doing a full installation.

You can also import users from a tab-delimited text file. Works with System 7 File Sharing and AppleShare 3.0 or later. BUGS FIXED * Fixed the nefarious -108 CopyUGFile startup error. This seemed to only show up on the Quadra. * NBP lookup buffer overflow is now handled properly. This would occur when scanning a very large network. * The "Password" column is now properly recognized when importing users. Previously, if your import file had no "Zone" column, then passwords were incorrectly ignored. * Improved zone lookup error reporting. --Michael User Interface-General

No Cigar 1.0 gui/no-cigar-10.hqx Alex Chaffee 7 Aug 1993 Makes Finder not redraw each window before it is closed. (c) 1993 Alex Chaffee (chaffee@reed.edu) 1529 SE Maple Ave, Portland, OR 97214 Permission granted to copy for any purpose whatsoever. You know how when the Finder is closing all windows, it takes FOREVER, since it redraws each window before closing it? Well, this INIT fixes that. Just drag it into your system folder and watch those windows close! (For added excitement, hold down control or shift and you can see the update regions flash!) I've only tested this on my system (PowerBook 160, System 7.1); if you find any incompatibilities please let me know. Feel free to send money or good beer to the above address.

Oracle 2.1 gui/oracle-210.hqx Derek Chee 6 Dec 1993 Presents a random quotation each time you start up your computer. Version 2.1.0 implements Ambrosia Software's new license code registration system, which allows registered users to personalize their copy of Oracle and remove the shareware notices. Oracle is a Control Panel that you place into your System Folder. Oracle will present you with a random thoughtful quotation each time you start up your computer or once a day, whichever you specify. Oracle also allows you to print out any quotations that you find of particular interest, for later contemplation. This could perhaps be your most practical program for your Macintosh, because it helps to perfect the most important part of your computer system: you. Oracle has a library of over 1,000 profound readings, which accounts for its large size. Although it takes up a fair amount of disk space, Oracle uses very little system memory (around 5K), and works on any machine under System 6.0 or later (yes, it is System 7.0 friendly).

Quit It 1.1 gui/quit-it-11.hqx Berrie.Kremers 15 Dec 1993 Quits an application using the close box. Enclosed is Quit It v1.1, which is a replacement of v1.0. This new version handles more applications and has now preferences on a per-application basis. A description of Quit It: A Macintosh is very easy to use, but neverteless there are naive users who don't understand anything about processes etc. All they see is windows on the screen, and to stop working they just close the window using the close box. But this leaves the application open, which can lead to confusion on one side, and on a shortage of memory on the other side. Quit It can take away this problem: whenever the last window of an application is closed using the close box, it will quit the application. That's all there is to it. User Interface-General

Tiny Saver 3.1 gui/tiny-31.hqx Chris Owen 21 Sep 1993 Very small screen saver. Tiny Saver is a very small screen saver. It does just what a screen saver is supposed to do and not much else. It is an application so no conflicts but it only uses about 12k of RAM 18 of disk space. This version is a 'background only appliation' so it only uses 12k of RAM when it is in not actually saving the screen. Being a FBA it will not show up in the application menu and won't always end up in your face when you quit other applications. It is a nifty (IMHO) blend of the features of a system extension with the reliability of an application. I have removed all the features I added in 3.0 for a variety of reasons. Some of them didn't work on older machines and I don't have time at the moment to fix them. Also I thought I might be abandoning my original concept. I will use those features in a seperate application in the future. If you have 3.0 and it works fine on your machine feel free to use it, it just didn't work on some machines.

Xmas Lights places flashing Christmas tree lights under your menus, as if someone had strung them from the top of your screen. Control panel allows you to choose the flash pattern. It is *not* a screen saver; the lights are visible all the time while using the computer. Looks best on a Macintosh with a color screen; the faster the Mac, the better, because it's animating the lights in the background. This version fixes some problems: o An Unimplemented Trap error occurred on some Black & White Macintoshes at startup. Fixed; Xmas Lights 1.1 will work on black & white Macs. o If you inadvertently tried to use Xmas Lights 1.0 on a System 6 Macintosh, a crash occurred - the crash longer happens, but you shouldn't try using Xmas Lights on a System 6 machine; it requires System 7.0 or later. o The lights now appear on the desktop behind any windows you have on the screen. Just drag a window over the lights to be able to work without distraction. o The lights are more realistic looking. Xmas Lights is *still* absolutely free!

Changes for version 1.8: * Addition of "Front App" mode. * You can change the speed of Zipple's animation for each menu. * No longer draws over iconic menus added by other programs. * No longer crashes when the Import/Export or Grabber windows are brought up. * Now properly detects screen-savers.

I would recommend that you download and try this interesting utility. It is available at the Stanford and mirror archives. To cover any copyright issues; Use and re-distribute as you wish, but never without the "read-me" file. I suppose I should claim creative rights to these, so "I claim any rights to them". In some instances, I may have used copyrighted icons as starting points in the creation process, so "I hereby yield to any prior claims". This is "Postcard-ware", or in other words, these are free. I would appreciate it if you could send me a postcard (or E-mail), as I am curious to know how far this may have been distributed. Ronald Ferguson User Interface-Graphics

Icons R Us gui/grf/my-icons-r-us.hqx Sam K Tan 11 Aug 1993 Single resoure file icon. This version of Icons R Us have been modified to not use folders as icon holders. Each icon is now a single resoure file that you cannot accidentally double-click to open into an empty folder. I would recommend that icons be distributed in this way, as it would reduce the number of folders a hard drive would contain. And since the Finder does not add up invisible file sizes, Get Info on a lot of invisible files would be deceiving. The opinions expressed here are mine alone, and do not reflect the opinions of any other person or organization, either implied or otherwise. User Interface-Graphics

Kitty Litter Trash gui/grf/kitty-litter-trash.hqx Steve 9 Dec 1993 Litter box to replace the trash icon. Well, I just upgraded to System 7.1 so I updated the Kitty Litter trash can replacement too. This was not my idea, but somehow I seem to be the Kitty maintainer now (-: Here is a portion of the READ_ME: "If the trash icon is offensive to your delicate sense of aesthetics (who ever heard of a "fat" trash can?) then you'll love this trash can replacement. Kitty sits behind his litter box, smiling at you, until you throw something away. When you put something in the trash, Kitty disappears, leaving you with a smelly litter box that needs to be dumped. When you dump Kitty's litter, he returns, happy that his litter box is clean." Here are the Resedit resources for System 7.0 and System 7.1, one after another. Take care, Steve User Interface-Graphics
