From: [e-mail] (Dave Nebinger)
Subject: Administrivia

  Welcome to the alt.sources.mac digest.  Currently, I am
the moderator of the archive.  I thought I would post this
message to show everyone what has been accumulating at the
archive site.

  Your contributions are highly recommended and accepted.
If you don't have access to the alt.sources.mac newsgroup,
you can email your contribution to me ([e-mail])
and I will add it to the archive, or you can upload it to
the /ftp/pub/incoming directory at the archive site.

  I would also recommend to those programmers posting
snippets to the comp.sys.mac.* heirarchy to also crosspost
them to the alt.sources.mac group so that I can make sure
that it gets added to the archive.

  Thanks for you support, and if you have any questions/
problems/maladjustments, feel free to email me.

  Dave Nebinger ([e-mail])

SliderCDEF 1.0

SliderCDEF is a control definition function for a
slider with a simple indicator and a track without
arrows on the end and that also displays the slider's

control's rectangle.

Subject: Devil's Cubes 1.0.1 (source code)

The Devil's Cubes are a set of four cubes, each painted with four colors
with some colors repeated.  All four cubes are different.  The object of
the game is to rotate the four cubes until the top of each Devil's Cube
is a different color than the top of the other three cubes, and likewise
for the bottom, front, and back of each Devil's Cube.  Sound simple?  Try
it for a few hours.

Subject: Final Chance 1.0 (source code)

Final Chance is a combination of fluff and utility.  On one hand, it gives
you a random quote on shutdown, which is pretty useless, really.  On the
other hand, it gives you a final chance to decide if you really want to shut
your Macintosh down, or if you want to exit to the Finder.

Subject: [0/10] Ghost 1.0 (word game, C 5 or 6)

Ghost is a classic word-building game for two or more players.  Players take
turns each adding a letter to build a word, and whoever finishes the word
loses the round.  Lose five rounds, and you become a "ghost" and are out of
the game!  Up to five human players can compete against up to five computer
players at a variety of skill levels.

Subject: jGNE Helper -- event filter example

This is "jGNE Helper", a monthly posting to alt.sources.mac.  It
attempts to provide an example for INIT programmers interested in
filtering events before they are handed to applications calling
GetNextEvent (which is called by WaitNextEvent).

Subject: Jotto ][ 1.0 (word game, THINK C 6)

Jotto ][ is a simple word game based on logic and frustration.  The computer
will pick a 5- or 6-letter word from a 2000+ word database, and you have 15
tries to guess it.  You will get feedback on how many letters in your guess
are in the actual word, but beware: each guess must be a valid word, or you
will or you will not get any feedback about it at all.

Subject: Mousebroken 1.0.1 (source code)

Mousebroken is a control panel which will give you greater control over your
mouse (or less control, depending on how you look at it).  It comes with 13
mouse modules, each designed to alter your mouse's behavior in a different
way.  New mouse modules can easily be designed and added to Mousebroken.  The
mouse modules in this archive are public domain; feel free to design your own!
