ARTAbrot - Apple Real-Time Architecture Mandelbrot Program
Version 1.1
by George Warner
11/22/93
[e-mail]

REQUIREMENTS:
68020 or greater
ARTA equipped Macintosh (Quadra 840av, Centris 660av, or Mac with ARTA
plug-in board.

1. WHAT IT IS: ARTAbrot is a Mandelbrot program that it uses the AT&T
DSP3210 in ARTA to perform the intensive Mandelbrot calculations.

2.  SOURCE CODE TOO!  Complete source code is provided.  For those who
would like some sample ARTA source code (which is scarce at the time of
this release).  The DSP3210 source code is in file mbrot.s.  All of the host
DSP function calls are in brotcode.c.  For those of you considering DSP
programming, take a look at the mbrot.s DSP source code.  This is DSP3210
assembly code, but it is very much like C code -- one of the very nice
features of the DSP3210.

Release 1.1     11/22/93     Added support for larger windows, resizable windows,
and background processing.
Release 1.0     08/23/93     First version.

                CCITT 1D  compressed TIFF)
              - Added reading 4 & 8bit Grey Scale TIFF images
                (uncompressed TIFF, LZW compressed TIFF, and
                PackBits  compressed TIFF)
              - Added reading 4 & 8bit Palette TIFF images
                (uncompressed TIFF, LZW compressed TIFF, and PackBits
                 compressed TIFF)
              - Enable option not to convert to B&W.

What will it do?
* It will read several graphics formats, or any format that you have a
Claris XTND translators for.
* Option to convert any color image to B&W bitmap, using Dithering if Color
QuickDraw is installed
* allow you to select area or whole picture to be saves as a X11 Bitmap,
PICT or EPS file.
* If QuickTime(tm) is installed, it will also allow you to play quicktime
movies and PICT.  I admit it is of very limited use, but it was just to try
out quicktime routines.
* Supports Cut, Copy to Clipboard, Paste).
* Contains on-line help (accessed from Apple Menu, or System 7's help memu).

Things to do and limitations:
* limited testing on non-system 7 machines.
   (Tested on Classic, IIsi, LC, Mac Portable, IIci).
* Limited B&W Paint editing features, sorry no color editing...
   (I need to convert tool palettes to Floating windows).
* need to add System 7 balloon help
* printing does not print original picture, it prints the converted B&W picture.

Translators that I have written (as of April 5th, 1993):
        TIFF (IBMpc to Macintosh) v1.0 (AFE)
        EPSF (IBMpc to Macintosh) v1.02 (AFE)
        WordStar to RTF v1.02 (AFE)

        StartUp Screen V1.01 (XTND)

If you uses these translators, please send $10.00US / Translator used to
the above address.
I would like to thank all the people who have sent me shareware fee's (yes
some people are honest)!

* XTND translators which require Claris XTND System and applications that
support XTND (Claris XTND System is available in the Claris Works 2.0 Demo
package, and BBEdit package).
* AFE translators which require Apple File Exchange (AFE) applications.
Found on System 7 TidBits Disk or System 6's 800k Utilities 2 disk, or
System 6 's 1.4M System Additions Disk.

Note:  If you need other AFE or XTND translators written send me a note, I
may write it.

I am testing a AFE Translator for PICT to B&W bitmap format of .BMP.
I will be looking at updating, EPSF AFE translator to support converting
ibmpc TIFF preview images, and Converting Macintosh PICT preview images to
IBMpc TIFF preview images (when I find time - Oct./Nov. time frame).

Subject: [*] Blender DA

This is the Blender DA v 1.4.1.  It is a nifty little utility
that calculates the optimum number of steps in a blend.  It can
be very helpful in speeding up the printing process--especially for
those who do a lot of color processing.
I found it on Compuserve as is.

Subject: Color It! 2.0.2 demo.hqx


This is a demonstration copy of Color It! 2.0.2, a 32-bit color
painting and image processing program available from MicroFrontier,
Inc.  It is fully functional except for saving and printing.

Color It! is a 32 bit color paint and image enhancement program
that gives you all the power and precision you need to create or
enhance dramatic images. Color It!'s advanced image processing
features enable you to scan your favorite photography or
illustrations... then crop, retouch, or alter any part of the image.
Erase scratches, blemishes, cluttered or unattractive backgrounds.
You can even adjust the brightness and contrast of the image.

With advanced brushes and a palette that supports over 16
million colors you can easily paint stunning original artwork.
Support for pressure sensitive tablets allows your brush
strokes to mimic traditional painting techniques.  Adjustment
of brush opacity controls how much paint is applied to your image,
a higher opacity applies more paint to the image, while a lower
opacity applies a lighter coat of paint (more of the image shows through).


Many, many more features are detailed in a Read Me file contained
in the archive.

#### BINHEX     cyber-gif-13.hqx   ****

Date: Thu, 28 Jan 93 00:51 PST
From: [e-mail] (Roger Allen)

Here is the latest version of CyberGif.
Please put it into the ftp archives and replace V1.2.

#####CyberGif Version History
1.3 (January, 1993)
  - Now allows all files that show up in "Open" dialog box to be
    used in SlideShow!
  - Fixes all known bombs that users had problems with.
  - Fixes all known memory "leaks" that would force you to restart
    CyberGif.
  - Fixes problems some users had with multiple monitors.
1.2 (July, 1992)
  - Fixes bomb some users had with bigger-than-the-screen GIFs.
1.1 (June, 1992)
  - This version hopefully fixes the problems that some users had
    with Mac LCs and the HDT Lightshow init.  It also includes a way
    to pause the slideshow.
1.0  (May, 1992)
  - The first official release of CyberGif.

(Note: This is not the "next version" with lots of neat features that I have been working on for the past few months.  This is basically a bug-fix version.  Please bear with me while I finish up Version 2.0.
As a teaser, I'll tell you a few of the features Version 2.0 will have:
     - Much-enhanced slide show.  More controls and customization.
     - GIF89a support.
     - Works with any depth screen.
     - Better dithering interface.
     - and much, much, more!)

#####CyberGif Description
CyberGif is a Macintosh GIF viewer.
"Why another one?" you may ask.  Well, I wasn't happy with the state-of-the-art in Macintosh GIF viewers. So, I tried the other gif viewers/editors and found the features that I wanted in a GIF viewer. These features include:

-Fast Decode & Display--see the gifs as you decode them.
-Small Program Size--only 54k!  Save disk space for GIFs--not viewers!
-Dithering--CyberGif allows black & white Macs (w/ColorQD) to see GIF files!  Please note that CyberGif does this AUTOMATICALLY only if all monitors hooked up to the Mac are in two color mode.  Multiple monitors of differing depths may confuse CyberGif.  A future version will fix this.
-Slide Show--just put the GIFs you want in a directory and watch the full screen show!  Also note that the GIFs must be of type 'GIFf' to be seen in the slide show.
-Growable/Scrollable windows--you can choose to stretch/shrink the window!
-Fit Gif to Screen--and keeps the GIF proportions correct!
-Full Screen Window--for those times when a window and menu bar are too distracting!
-System Palette Option--see how the GIF would look as a background picture!
-Information Window--look at the current GIF's colors and much more!
-Flash--get rid of color residue that most GIF viewer leave in the background!

#####NOTES:

CyberGif has been developed and tested on a Macintosh IIcx running System 7.0 with both Virtual Memory and 32-bit mode on.

On any machine without Color Quickdraw, CyberGif dies a quick and ugly death.  This will be fixed in a future version.

On multiple-monitor machines, automatic dithering will NOT work unless ALL screens are set to 1-bit mode.

                          [*] DeBabelizer 1.55 Updater
The good folks at Equilibrium have agreed to let me upload their updater which
upgrades DeBabelizer 1.5 to 1.55.

I rescued this file from the ZiffNet CI$ forum. Equilibrium said that CI$
*made* them put the updater in the extra-cost ZiffNet forum. Is this correct?
What happened to the days of posting to the regular Mac Forums? When you talk
to Tech Support people at s/w firms, please encourage them to post updaters to
info-mac.

the 1.55 upgrade adds various translators, enhances scripting w/ AppleScript
and allows  use of Adobe Photoshop 2.0 Acquire, Filter, and Export plug-ins.
Apparently 2.5 plug-ins don't work too well.

enjoy...

From: [e-mail] (Jonathan Birge)

Digital Camera screen capture and image manipulation software,
version 0.7beta by Jonathan Birge.

This is the first release of Digital Camera, although there aren't any
glaring bugs. This application allows one to select a portion of the screen
to be captured and saves the image into a window to be then manipulated or
saved to disk. It allows for the saving of both type I (old BitMap) and type
II PICTs, so programmers can use type I pictures in their programs to ensure
backwards compatibilty. Digital Camera can also capture images and save them
as b/w CURS, PAT, etc. resources.

In addition, various filters may be applied to images such as blurring and
diffusion, and without the need for 32 Bit Quickdraw. Digital Camera should
work on all Macs and is System 7 friendly. This version is competely free. I
hope you enjoy it.

Subject: Dither Comparison

Here's a stack, and some example pictures, to let you examine the difference
between standard QuickDraw dithering and the "fast dithering" feature of
QuickTime. You can modify the stack to display your own PICT files, if you
want. The stack itself should work with QuickTime 1.0, but the sample
pictures were compressed under QuickTime 1.5, so they won't display properly
with 1.0.

#### BINHEX     dl-viewer-10b8.hqx   ****

From: Bill Galcher <[e-mail]>
Subject: Mac application update
Date: Wed, 6 Apr 94 20:00:20 -0700

Hi there.  Last year, I submitted DLViewer (1.0b3).  I have made significant
changes and improvements to the program, and I would like to update/replace
the version you have currently on the archive with the version enclosed.

Thanks!

+ Bill Galcher

            Finally, a DL-style animation viewer for the Macintosh
            ======================================================

Enclosed is a BinHex'ed self-extracting StuffIt! archive containing a Macintosh
application which will allow Mac users to view DL-style animation files.  This
program handles both Version 1 and 2 file types, and handles format 0 (large,
320x200), 1 (medium, 160x100) and 2 (small, 80x50) animations.

DLViewer 1.0b8 is my latest attempt at providing an animation viewer for DL
animation files.  It does not use QuickTime(tm) so it should work on any
Macintosh that can support 256 (8-bit) color.  It does require System 6.0.2 or
beyond and Color QuickDraw 1.2.  1.0b8 fixes some minor problems found during
beta testing of 1.0b3 and adds support for all known internal DL frame
commands.  Also added is the ability to play a DL through only one time as
well as looping continuously.  DLViewer was compiled to take advantage of
MC68020 and above instructions and addressing modes, so it cannot be run on
Macintoshes with 68000 processors (Plus, SE, etc.).

The animation images are all read into memory for maximum display speed.  This
implies of course that for large animation files an equivalently large amount
of memory is used.

In addition to the animation itself, I have also provided the ability for
smaller images to be "zoomed" (160x100 -> 320x200; 80x50 -> 160x100 _and_
320x200).  The 80x50 images look very pixelated when zoomed up to 320x200, as
you might expect.  Up to 10 DL files can be open at the same time.  The real
constraint will more likely be how much memory you allocate to the viewer to
run.

Finally, since DL animations do not have a built-in frame rate, the frame rate
for each animation can be individually specified and adjusted.

Thanks to Mark Podlipec who wrote XANIM, an X-Windows animation viewer.  His
sources provided the insights and clues to decipher all the formats that DL
files use.

Subject: [*] Figger 1.0 GIF Utility

          * * * N O T E * * *
Figger only runs on Macs with a 68020 or better, and requires Color QuickDraw.
          * * * * * * * * * *
Figger is a new GIF utility which allows you to create edited GIF files
with separate "key" files for "unediting" the images. The primary purpose
of this is probably due to AOL's image guidelines -- this utility allows
one to "hide" or black out inappropriate portions of images so that the
file can be uploaded to the AOL libraries. The "key" file (with a ".FIG"
extension) can then be emailed to anyone interested in seeing the full
unedited image. Fairly limited use, but it is done rather well. As you
could probably guess by now, Figger essentially lets you place fig leaves
where needed (no, it does not cover the image with fig leaf images, though
I plan to suggest it to the author ;).

It is currently *real* slow when saving the edited GIF and its key file
(the author mentions that speeding the process up is the top priority for
the next release). Other than that, it works very well, and the key files
are small.

There is a separate utility, DisFigger, which can only build the complete
image file from the two parts but runs on Macs with 68000's (it doesn't do
any displaying). I'll try to get that uploaded when I can get it. There are
plans for a Windows/DOS version of Figger/DisFigger so that GIFs and FIGs
can be traded cross-platform.

I am not the author--I just downloaded it from AOL. It is shareware $18.

Subject: Flash-It 3.0.2 (Control Panel)

Dear FTP site administrators -

Enclosed, please, find a SIT-HQX form of Flash-It v.3.0.2
screen-capture utility (shareware control panel) for
Macintosh.

Flash-It defines several HotKeys to capture a screen image
and save it to clipboard, PICT files, ScrapBook or print it.
It works under system 6/7.x in color (inc. 24-bit) and B/W
modes. It can capture images while a menu is pulled down.
Options include a choice of Marquee/Lasso selection, a choice
of in(ex-)cluding the cursor image, a choice of capturing the
front window-only / displayed menu-only, and more.

It's been only two weeks or so since v.3.0.1 came out. Sorry
about my jittery behavior. This v.3.0.2 release fixes the bug
which caused the control panel to crash when there are more
than 128 flavors of sound resources attached to the system,
either directly or by using Suitcase/MasterJuggler. Hopefully
this is the last maintenance update in the v.3.0 series of
Flash-It.

If you have GIFConverter 2.3.4, then download this updater to correct
the following problems and turn it into 2.3.6:

o GIFConverter can read and write comments in JPEG/JFIF files.

o File comments for GIF and JPEG use CR/LF at the end of a line. The
editing window is now 80 characters wide, uses a fixed width font, and does
not wrap lines. With these features, GIFConverter conforms with what
appears to be accepted practice for formatting these comments.

o GIFConverter now gives an error message instead of crashing when it runs
out of memory trying to open a JPEG file.

o When GIFConverter runs out of memory while trying to allocate an image
buffer (the largest memory usage it performs), it now gives a detailed
description of the size of the image, and suggests a memory allocation
setting that will accomodate the image.

o GIFConverter now commits the last action before saving files. For
instance, it no longers loses pasted images, or stretches cropped images
strangely.

o If the Preferences file is damaged, GIFConverter deletes it and makes a
new one. It tells you when it does this.

o Fixed a problem with successive mouse commands. This often manifested

o GIFConverter should no longer hang when starting up on a machine with a
French keyboard. GIFConverter searches for the '.' key for implementing
cancelling with command-period. It now finds such a key even if the '.' is
shifted. It will also no longer hang if it can't find a '.' key (I'd be
very interested in finding out about keyboards that don't have one).

o To cancel operations in GIFConverter (when you have the juggler cursor),
press the command key, and type a period. If the period ('.') is shifted,
you must hold down the shift key.

Giffer is Beerware.  If you like it and use it, please send me a case of
beer (or $20 so I can buy one).  If you do send me something, I'll make
you a registered user of Giffer, and that will entitle you to receive
news about Giffer updates.  (Please also tell me what version you have!)
I plan to work on Giffer more, so this update news might be beneficial
if you like the program.

Giffer is an image display program for the Macintosh II family of
computers.  It works best in 256 color (8-bit) mode, but will work in 16
color (4-bit), 4 color (2-bit) and 2 color (1-bit) modes as well.
Giffer also works in 24-bit mode, but 24-bit images will not be
displayed in full color (they will be dithered to 256 colors).  (GIF
currently does not support 24 bits of color, so there would be no way to
save a 24-bit images in GIF.)  It is a memory-intensive program, so it's
nice to have as much memory as you can get to run it.  However, it will
run with the standard 1 Meg.

1.12 (8/91) - Fixed bug which caused off-screen dialogs on IILC.  Added
support for Flex images.

1.11 (6/91) - Added color icons for System 7.0.  Improved System 7.0
comaptibility.  Fixed bug which caused crash on Mac LC.

1.10b1 (3/91) - Added limited support for TIFF.  Allowed Giffer to read
GIF 89a revision files (needs significant testing).  Fixed the Open
command so that it will allow any file to be selected when the option
key is held down as the menu selection is made.

Announcing the release of JPEGView 3.3 -- May, 1994

Enclosed is version 3.3 of my postcardware application JPEGView, a fast,
powerful image viewer for both 680x0 and PowerPC Macintoshes.  JPEGView can
open and display images in JPEG, PICT, GIF, TIFF, BMP, MacPaint, or Startup
Screen formats.

This latest release of JPEGView adds some new functionality and fixes a few
bugs that were in the previous (3.2.1) release; users of previous versions
are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this latest version.

IMPORTANT NOTE: JPEGView *requires* System 7.0 or later to run.

Users of JPEGView are encouraged to register by sending in a postcard.  If
you would like a printed, bound copy of JPEGView's extensive documentation,
along with an official JPEGView 3.3 release disk, you can send in US$20
(adding US$3 if you are overseas).  Full details are given in the on-line
help (available from the help (a.k.a. "balloon") menu).

Please note that purchasing the manual is optional; individual use of
JPEGView obligates you only to send me a postcard.

Briefly, here are the important new features in version 3.3:
    * much more stable memory management with QuickTime and virtual memory
    * JPEG decompression now available even when QuickTime is not installed
    * full drag-and-drop support, for "Drag-aware" systems
    * rewrote high quality drawing for a significant speedup
    * added the ability to remember cropping on images
    * added new icon styles, plus ability to specify icon area
    * improved operation of the JPEGView JFIF Preview QuickTime extension
    * numerous bug fixes

And a general JPEGView overview:
    * it's essentially free (postcardware), simple, and easy to use
    * requires only 800k, but will effectively use more memory to run faster
    * produces some of the highest-quality images available on the Macintosh
    * decompresses images faster than almost any other Macintosh image software
    * provides an excellent user-configurable slide show
    * automatically scales images to fit on your monitor
    * has handy full screen windows (without the menubar) for large images
    * supports multiple-monitor systems extremely well
    * includes exhaustive on-line documentation and balloon help
    * is System 7-studly, featuring full Drag & Drop and AppleScript support
    * native code takes full advantage of PowerMacintosh systems
    * comes with a cool colorful JPEG test image :-)

Enjoy!

Subject:      Koyn Fractal Studio Demo
Date:         Sat, 22 Jan 94 18:38:51 CST

This is a demonstration copy of Koyn Fractal Studio 2.0.

Koyn Fractal Studio 2.0 allows you to create a rich variety of intricate
images.  Koyn Fractal Studio makes the beauty of fractals, once the
domain of mathematicians, accessible to ordinary users with its
graphical approach to image creation.

Fractals are shapes of infinite detail that have patterns of self-
similarity-a part of a fractal resembles a smaller copy of the whole.
Such shapes often have great beauty and intricacy. Fractals often give
the impression of receding into infinity with their ever smaller parts
that resemble the whole.

You create fractal images by defining an image as a collage of distorted
copies of itself. You use the mouse to manipulate polygons to form a
collage.  Fractals make eye-catching design elements and form intricate
background patterns and textures.  You can create an infinite variety of
intricate images not possible by other means.

Koyn Fractal Studio renders images in up to 24-bit color, allowing
creation of colorful images.  Resolution may be as high as 2540 dpi for
high resolution applications. The zoom feature allows you to zoom
in up to 100,000,000 times to view the infinite detail present in
fractal shapes and to obtain any view of a fractal for use in design
projects.  Images may be resized without a loss in detail or resolution,
allowing generation of detailed images in a wide range of sizes.  Koyn
Fractal Studio includes a 181 page user guide and the Fractal Library, a
collection of over 50 pre-made fractal images.

The Koyn Fractal Studio 2.0 demonstration consists of a self-running
document, a trial version of Koyn Fractal Studio, and a collection of
pre-made fractals for your enjoyment. The self-running document may be
read and printed without a word processor. The self-running document
provides general information on Koyn Fractal Studio and fractals,
tutorials, and a special discount order form.

The demonstration copy includes all features of the full version except:

o     Save, Save As, and Save Picture menu commands are disabled.
o     Page Setup and Print menu commands are disabled.
o     Copy Picture menu command is disabled.
o     Floating Point coprocessor support is not provided.
o     The bit depth of a new or monochrome document cannot be set to
      color. (Sample color documents can be opened in color and
      changed.)
o     A reduced version of the Fractal Library is provided.
o     Complete printed documentation.

Archivists -

I have been informed that my previous upload had damaged forks when downloaded.
You should find this Media Player 2.0 works.

Media Player 2.0 is a graphics utility, and if you have Media Player 1.0, you
should replace it with this version.

Media Player 2.0 allows you to look at and scale PICT files, watch PICS and
STEP animations, and make your own PICS animations either by importing frames
>From PICT files, by cutting-and-pasting from other applications, or by drawing
them using Media Player 2.0's graphics editor.

Thanks a lot and sorry for the damaged forks,

Mirage is a 3D modeling and rendering program with a built-in
texture editor. It supports import and export of a text file
format for 3D scenes that is similar to nff, useful when one
is writing 3D graphics software, but doesn't have the ability
to create models in a readable format to test it on.
This version has speed and image quality improvements over the previous version I posted.
It also includes a manual and several example files.

From: [e-mail] (Christopher G. Nicholson)
Subject: Morph 2.01 PPC updater

New Features
 - PowerPC support
Morph now contains native morphing code for machines equiped with a PowerPC
chip. Performance is approximately 2-4 times faster than on a Quadra 605
(25MHz LC040).
 - Faster morphing
The morphing routine has been optimized to increase performance on all
machines. Morphing is 50-100% faster than version 2.0.

Bug Fixes
 - When creating a document from scratch, if the morph image window cannot
be made the dimensions of the first image loaded (due to insufficient
memory) the image will be 80x80 pixels (instead of 1x1 in 2.0).
 - Memory management has been improved to handle larger images better as
well as low memory situations.
 - The Tool Palette is now correctly displayed during low memory conditions
or when a Hewlett Packard DeskWriter printer driver is chosen.

This is a trial version of Ofoto 2.0 for the Macintosh that I picked

The Read Me file as well as the mini-user's manual that came with the

I have not used it much, but this trial version seems fairly

Ofoto, of course, is the graphics program for "dummies" -- it does

Subject: Peter's Player 1.0
Date: Thu, 5 May 94 09:51:05 -0400

Peter's Player is a simple QuickTime movie player that is designed to play
movies as smoothly as possible:

-If there is enough RAM, it will load the entire movie before playing it, for
the fastest-possible playback.

-It can detect the best dit depth to display a movie at and set your monitor
appropriately.

-It is "Accelerated For Power Macintosh," running at maximum possible speed on
either 68k or Power Macintoshes.

-It can play movies without showing the standard movie controller, which can
be distracting, and slows down playback.

-It supports keyboard shortcuts with the controller showing or hidden (the
arrow keys step forward and back frames, the space bar plays or pauses,
etc...).

-It can play every frame in a QuickTime movie, no matter how large (in this
mode it will never play frames back faster than intended, but it may play them
back slower, and any soundtrack there is will be ignored).

-It plays movies against a black background, and you can even hide the menu
bar, so (a) you're not distracted by the desktop, (b) you can dump
smaller-than-full-screen movies to video tape, and (c) you can play movies
that have custom color tables without screwing up the rest of the colors
on-screen.

Peter's Player is free for individual use, with a US $20 fee requested to
support development of future versions (and for automatic notice of upgrades

Requires System 7, QuickTime, a 68020 or better 68k Mac or a Power Mac, and at
least 512k of free RAM.

Attached is a binhexed Stuffit self-extracting archive of Spectral
Innovations' PhotoShop plug-in which uses the built-in DSPs of the 660 and
840 AV machines to accelerate filters such as Unsharp Mask, Gaussian Blur,
and Find Edges, among others.  Image Size, Scale, Skew, Perspective, Rotate
and RGB to CMYK mode change are also accelerated.  This plug-in was
described in the 11/15/93 and 11/29/93 issues of MacWEEK.

System requirements:  AV Mac (or NuBus Mac w/ Spectral Innovations 3210 DSP
card installed) and PhotoShop 2.5.1.

This file was downloaded from the Adobe BBS.

Hi folks,
Here's the latest version of 'Plug-in Digitizer' (v1.1). 'Plug-in Digitizer'
is a Photoshop/NIH-Image acquisition plug-in that allows you
to capture still frames of video from any Quicktime compatible
video source (including the AV's) directly into the application.

Version 1.1 now supports a 'faceless' operation option that allows
grabbing of an image without any user interaction.  This allows 'time-lapse'
grabbing from applications which support a programmatic call to the
plug-in, eg from within a macro in NIH-Image.

This is the Photoshop Dither Filter package v1.0.

The Photoshop Dither Filter package is a set of filters for Photoshop
that dither grayscale images to black and white so that they can be
printed on laser printers.  When printing to a laser printer, the
halftoning algorithms in these filters are superior to the algorithms
that are built into Photoshop (the reasons for this are explained in
the accompanying documentation).

The package is freeware.  It is compressed as a CompactPro archive.
I suggest that the file be called photoshop-dither-filter-10.hqx
(I hope that isn't too long).

Enjoy!

Expression is a Photoshop filter that can create images that change
over time according to a mathematical formula or expression (thus the

Expression can be used to make psychedelic animated movies, fractal zooms,
special effects, textures such as marble, clouds and wood and more.

This version fixes two bugs, one of which caused it to crash in

I use Jon Pugh's PictFlipper utility to convert a SCRN to a PICT.  I then
view the PICT file with TeachText.  Though it's two steps, its easy since
both PictFlipper and TeachText are Drag and Drop apps.

I couldn't find PictFlipper in the Info-Mac archives, so I'm appending it
to this reply (it's small...).  Here's an excerpt from the ReadMe that's
included with it:

   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.

Hope this helps!

PictPocket 1.1

Here's a different kind of screen capture utility, great for
people who need to build a lot of window pictures into their
documents, but don't want to waste a lot of storage.

PictPocket "picks the pocket" of applications as they draw
their windows, not after they have been drawn.  This
difference allows it to place in the Clipboard a 'PICT' which
represents the actual elements drawn, rather than a bitmap
(raster) image.  Not only is a PictPocket 'PICT' smaller than
a bitmap 'PICT', and not proportional in size to the depth of
color, but you retain the ability to edit the picture later,
using an application such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint.
Change text, colors, position of elements, whatever!  If you
need a blow-up of the picture, just change the Page Setup
scaling factor, and it will still print perfectly, with no
bitmap "jaggies."

This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.1 package,
which includes the following programs:  Virtual Desktop 1.7,
Maybe 1.3, Help on Wheels 1.1 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.1),
PictPocket 1.1, Menu Events 1.1, and Menu Grabber 1.1.

PICTshow is a viewer/player application for the following file types:
- PICT files (also from PhotoCD's)
- GIF pictures
- Sound files (System 7 sound files)
- Quicktime Movies (requires Quicktime)

PICTshow 2.x is a much improved version of the older PICTshow 1.x versions.
I rewrote most of the code, fixed a lot of bugs and added a lot of new
functionality. See 'Version History' file for more details about this.

PICTshow requires System 7 and a color capable Macintosh.

Changes from version 2.0 to 2.1 :

- Faster Add from CD-ROMs
- Added Save/SaveAs
- Improved behaviour of AddFiles
- Added Cache for Preview Pictures (see General Options)
- Added Preview Pictures in main list (Optional)
- Made main window resizeable, last position is saved
- On shift-click, the previous item will be showed (Backwards, finally!)

I was recently informed by someone about a problem with the file at

 twice (I think I should take up something easier than email but I
 don't think I have any skill with snail-watching). I don't know which
 of the archives still have the 2x binhex file so I am sending it off
 yet again. *sigh*

For those who don't yet know here is some info from the readme:

PICTify by Scott A. Johnson

PICTify is a control panel that provides you with screen capturing
capabilities and is provided FREE of charge.  You may capture the
entire screen, a selection that you define, the frontmost window, or
a pulled-down menu (including popup menus) to a file or to the clipboard.
If you choose to save the snapshot to a file, you have the option of
saving it to a TeachText* PICT file or to a ResEdit file which will contain
a 'PICT' resource and a couple of other resources which define the
dimensions of the PICT.  I find the latter option essential for capturing
pictures I've drawn to include in about boxes or other parts of my programs.

Subject: ribplugindevkit.hqx


This file contains the Pixar Showplace 2.0 RIB Plug-in Developer's Kit.
You will need Think 5.04 or later for use with this file. 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.

Dear Info-Mac people:

Please find enclosed a new binary submission for the info-mac digest and
archives.

QT BATCH COMPRESSOR

QT Batch Compressor is a new QuickTime utility that allows you to queue
multiple picture files for compression.  It uses either the built-in
JPEG or Video compression algorithms, and allows you to adjust the
compression/quality ratio. Compression ranges from 2 to 10 fold.  Once
compressed the pictures can be viewed from any graphics program as long
as the QuickTime extension is installed.

The application uses the drag-and-drop metaphor to compress multiple
pictures from the desktop, and supports folder- and disk-level queueing
(i.e. you can drop a folder into the application icon and it will
compress all pictures it finds within.)  You can also queue pictures to
compress from within the application.  Compression occurs in the
background, allowing you to do other thing.

A limitation of the utility is that it only runs under System 7.0 (it is
Apple-Event aware -- and dependent).

This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0 and decompressed with Compactor Pro.

Randercadpro 1.0 is a three dimensional modelling program that lets you
create rendered images with all kinds of fancy features. It is written by
Paul Rybarczyk, PEORIA. He currently has no access to the internet. So I am
posting this for him.

The hqx file contains a self extracting archive for the mac with further
explanation and the program itself.

ScreenSnap2-4.hqx

San Francisco, CA, 9 December 1993:
posting: ScreenSnap 2.4 screen capture shareware

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.

Sculptor 1.1 is a free-form 3D modeling tool that is compatible with virtually all
existing commercial 3D programs by generating DXF files. With Sculptor you
can make complex objects in seconds that would be difficult or impossible to
create using traditional modeling tools.
Version 1.1 has the following improvements:
% variable resolution from 5 to 22 (version 1.0 was fixed at 10)
% visible tool paths so you can see what youUve done before a complete update occurs
% support for the undo command
% a fix for a bug that sometimes caused a crash for complex models

Sparkle 2.02 A mac-look-and-feel MPEG and QT player and converter.

This should replace Sparkle 2.01 in the info-mac archives.

Damn. I'm sorry everyone. I released 2.01 compiled with an option to trap
to the debugger every time something goes wrong, and I forgot to remove
this option from what I sent out. This means you'd get what looked like a
crash everytime memory ran low. I feel like a complete idiot about this
and apologize for wasting everyones's time.

About 2.01
This is largely a bug fix and tweak release. Many bugs fixed. MPEGs
created may be 15 to 25% smaller. Slight performance improvements.
Slightly lower memory required to do things, and better handling of
low memory situations. Can open much longer MPEGs than before.
Read the "What's New in 2.01"  for the gory details.

Will run MUCH MUCH better if you have the Thread Manager installed.
Without the Thread Manager installed, Sparkle 2.02 will run, but you will
not be able to run in the background, do multiple things at once, etc.
To learn how to obtain the Thread Manager for either 68K or PowerPC
Macs, start Sparkle and read the dialogs that come up.

This version has rough edges but so many people have wanted an MPEG
encoder that I'm releasing it right away. It should always work and should
never crash. If you have problems with it, please let me know.

WHAT IS IT?
Sparkle plays MPEGs and QT movies and converts between them. It is
multifinder friendly and, with enough memory, will open multiple
documents at once.
It is free. I ask only that you read the enclosed README file and if you
can help with any of the issues I raise there, you mail me.

REQUIRES:
System 7 or greater.
QuickTime 1.6 or greater.
An 020 based mac or greater.
Works best with Thread Manager installed.

This is an update to the startupscreens and desktop pictures FAQ.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Over the last year or so I've posted quite a few startupscreens to
info-mac. One consequence of this is to get a flood of email asking
questions about how to use the screens, how to create them and so on.
The following is a list of answers to the most common questions.

   Frequently asked questions about startupscreens and desktop pictures.

1) I have a startupscreen, how do I get it to work?

   A-- Rename the file to "startupscreen" (no quotes) and put in in your
   system folder. The next time you reboot it will be displayed.

2) I tried that and the startupscreen looked terrible on my SE/30. All
   black and horrible.

Subject: TextureSynth Demo

Here's a self-running demo of TextureSynth, a program which generates
those intricate, colorful and almost feelable backdrops you sometimes see
on Mac desktops or in splash screens.  Although the demo essentially just
draws an assortment of such "textures" repeatedly, there are quite a few
customisable options, such as the types of colors and level of detail.  I'm
submitting this not just because I think the textures are excellent, but
also because I think the demo makes a great, no-cost screensaver (except it
doesn't hide the menu bar, but let's not look gift horses...).

This demo requires a Mac which supports at least 256 colors or grays, but
many of the textures are 24-bit and will look much better with thousands
or more colors.  The full version of the program can export to PICT and
TIFF.  See the accompanying readme file for purchasing information.

INSTRUCTIONS
-------------
Theater Maker lets you make standalone QuickTime movies(called
Theaters) that automatically play themselves when you double click on
them.  Even cooler than that, you can have the movies play themselves
as part of a larger picture, so the movie is framed by a background.
I've included a few backgrounds with the Theater Maker, and you can
make your own if you are familiar with ResEdit(look at the bottom of
this document for instructions).  Making a movie into a Theater adds
about 10k plus the size of a Frame PICT to the movie file.

If you just want to use Theater Maker to change your QuickTime movies
to standalone "Theaters", its easy:

First, run the Theater Maker applcation and choose "Create Theater"
from the File menu.     A dialog will appear that lets you set the
following options for creating a movie:

+ "Movie" - click to select the QuickTime movie file to convert.
+ "Frame" - click to select the Frame file you want to be the background
   for your movie theater.  If you don't want a frame, just leave it as
   "None Selected" and the movie will be played on a black background.

+ "Crop Movie to Frame" & "Resize Movie to Frame" - These two options
  tell Theater Maker what to do with a movie that isn't the exact same
  size as the movie area in a Frame.

If you choose "Crop", one of two things will happen- If the movie is
smaller than the area it will be played in, it will be shown at normal
size and centered in the area.  If the movie is larger than the Frame
area, it will be shown at normal size but some of the edges of the
movie may be clipped away.

If you choose "Resize", the movie will be played back so that it is
resized(if needed) to the exact area in the Frame.  This looks best,
but can make the movie playback slow or choppy.  Cropping the movie is
usually faster.

+ "Loop movie" - Checking this causes the movie to play constantly
  until you click the mouse.

+ "Convert in place" - If you convert the movie in place, the ORIGINAL
  movie file will be changed to a Theater application.  This is a lot
  faster than converting it to another file, and doesn't require extra
  disk space.  If you want to keep your original movie intact, don't
  check convert in place, and you'll be asked for the file name & place
  to save the converted movie.

PLAYING THEATERS
-----------------
To play a Theater, just double-click it!  You can adjust the volume of
the sound with the + and - keys, or by hitting the number keys 0-9.
Click the mouse to stop the movie and quit at any time.

If you have a Theater application you want to convert back to just a
plain movie file, just double-click it while holding down the
Cmd(Apple) key.  This removes all the extra stuff from the file and
changes it back to a 'MooV' document.

MAKING YOUR OWN FRAMES
------------------------
Currently the only way to make your own frame is to use ResEdit. But
its really not that hard.  All you really need is a PICT that you want
to use as a background.  To make the PICTs really small, I recommend
running them through a JPEG compressor like the PictCompressor on the
QuickTime CD.  After you have a PICT thats compressed, copy it to the
clipboard, open ResEdit, and open a copy of one of the existing Frame
documents.  Go into the PICT resources and delete the picture that is
already there.  Then Paste your picture in.  Get info on the PICT and
change its number to 32000.  All you have to do now is supply the
rectangle coordinates of where in the PICT you want the movie to play.
There should be an 'nrct' resource in the Frame file, also #32000.
Open it up, and type in the top, left, bottom, right coordinates in
the picture that you want to play the movie in.  You may have to play
around with these numbers to get it to look right.  After that, save
the Frame file and quit ResEdit.  You can now use your new Frame file
on any movies you want to!

If you make any cool Frames, let me know, I'd love to see them!

From: Jeff Strobel <[e-mail]>
Subject: 3D Dots



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!

I am posting this on behalf of the author, Oliver Kenkel. You can contact
Oliver directly by sending mail to [e-mail].

This is a Hypercard stack that will let you view certain Quicktime movies in
3-D. The program uses a trick that converts certain camera motion into 2
seperate images for the left and right images to allow 3-D viewing.

(Yes, this is the same method investigators used to turn a 2D film footage
into a 3-D model for the investigation of the assassination of JFK.)

I will be sending along an example 3-D quicktime clip shortly.
