curves and surfaces (wire-frame). Curves are described with 3 equations in
one parameter, and surfaces with 3 equations in two parameters. The curves
and surfaces can be exported to coordinate files for the freeWare program
"Rotater" (http://raru.adelaide.edu.au/rotater/).
There are various export options, like choosing between the 7 available
colors, exporting dots or lines and varying the color according to the
z-value of each coordinate. The number of digits after the decimal point
can be chosen between 0 and 20.
Requirements: HyperCard 2.0 (or better) or the HyperCard Player.

Subject: AlgebraTurboSeries
(section mathematics & education)
AlgebraTurboSeries writes a lot of worksheets on arithmetics and basic algebra
in a few seconds.
The section arithmetics includes the four basic operations.
examples: 3*4=12; 13*8 = 104; 8*(12-4)=64
The section algebra includes 1) distributive rule, 2) factorizing
examples to 1): 3(a-b) = 3a - 3b
(x+2)(x-3) = x^2 - x - 6
(a+2b+c)(d+e-f) = ad+ae-af+2bd+2be-2bf+cd+ce-cf
examples to 2): ab - 3a = a(b-3)
4t^2 - u^2 = (2t+u)(2t-u)
ad+ae-af+2bd+2be-2bf+cd+ce-cf = (a+2b+c)(d+e-f)
The most common types of polynomials are available in
AlgebraTurboSeries, e.g. "(A+B)(A-B)", "(X+...)(X+...)", etc.
AlgebraTurboSeries can also create and print out several different
sheets with the same difficulty. So, you can spend your time doing

The Fayoum Poraits are Roman in origin and were painted with oil on wood
in Egypt ca. 200-250 A.D. They were face-boards bound over the heads of
mummified corpses and intended to not only preserves the effigies of the
dead, but also to help them "see" from the afterlife. They are amazingly
life-like and modern, painted with a sense of reality, dimention and
perspective that vanished from Europe during the Dark Ages, not to
re-appear until the Renaissance. The individual personalities in the
paintings seem to project themselves across the ages with a vivid presence.

Subject: AppeWindows 2.03
If you have seen the Speech Manager, then you know that a background
only application can put a window onto the screen (contrary to popular
belief). The new Text Services Manager in System 7.1 offers documented
hooks for creating, disposing, and handling floating windows. These
windows are layer independent (they are floating above all programs and
windows), and can work without patching traps (well, a quick jGNEFilter,
but no traps).
This program demonstrates a shell application that puts a TSM window onto
the screen, and intercepts update, click, and key events. If you don't
care to look behind the scenes, you simply write the handlers from the
templates. If you want to see how it really works, you can lift the
curtains and look in the other functions for yourself.
Other programs that use this shell include: ObiWan, Extensions Strip,
HoverBar, Virtual, and NotifyMail. Note: that Apple software uses the
layer manager in undocumented ways to get the same effect for software
such as AppleGuide, Control Strip, and the Speech Manager.
Bug Fixes/Changes
2.01 -> 2.03 (2.02 was not released to the public)
* Updated the TestScreenSaver() function to count to 3 before
hiding/showing the window, which reduces flicker and stops
the window from acting strangely during PopupMenuSelect().
* The jGNEFilter helper sets the current app's A5-world (not
ours) so that it can call FindServiceWindow(), and we don't
need to repeatedly test PtInRgn().
* Replaced the Fat WDEF with 68K and PPC parts to reduce footprint.
* Fixed a memory leak with RmveResource() in Prefs code.
* The sample drag handlers now setup and restore our A5-world.
* Updated the process description for creating a Fat Binary.
* Dropped the Symantec C code duplication for archive size.
If you need help porting AppeWin, drop me a line.
* Updated the bundled TSM Fix from 1.02 to 1.03. See the associated
ReadMe file for relevant changes.
* Updated documentation and comments.
Its yours if you like it. This shell is free for you to modify and

Description:
Apronyms allows you to view the apronyms from the Apronyms web site
(http://apronyms.com) without using the internet. You can also add
your own apronyms and either keep them for your own personal
enjoyment or submit them to be added to the web site. You can
download new and updated apronyms from the web site at any time,
without losing your own additions. If you want to share an apronym or
list of apronyms with a friend, you can export apronyms to a text
file.
Apronyms can be browsed in their alphabetic listings, category
listings, or through the very flexible search facility.
The 'Website' menu provides easy access to parts of the Apronyms web
site which may be useful when you're creating an apronym.
For the uninitialised, an apronym is an a propos acronym... one which
means something relevant to what it stands for. An example is MAC for
My Apple Computer. Apronyms are a popular form of word play and can
also be used as mnemonics. For more information, see
http://apronyms.com/apronyms.html
Apronyms runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
For earlier versions of Mac OS X, there is only the simple Acronym
Checker, which can check an acronym for validity and submit it to the
web site. For more information on Apronyms or Acronym Checker, see

Subject: BanzaiSlider
This version has more of the feel of sliding the maps as if they
were huge virtual screens that you could zoom in and out of under the
newton window (see BanzaiReader). Another new feature, unlimited zoomout
with newton press pict books.
Compatible with Garmin II and III (set at 4800 baud and with NMEA
sentence filter) as well as Scoutmaster GPS (just set Scoutmaster's
baudrate at 4800).
Rich Drinkard, a beta tester, made some suggestions on activity
sounds and map display and so that is improved. He also requested the
unlimited zoomout. Evidentally his 28meg flashcard on a mp2100 could hold a
very large map to find his way around. I believe we are going to see bigger
than 4 meg flashcards officially supported by apple on the mp2100.
Rich Drinkard reported me experiments that tripmate does speak NMEA
sentences! So, I shall be working on a version for it!
I am working on a mp100 Garmin II III and Scoutmaster version with
limited features.
Notice also the correction in spelling.
This is embarrassing and in no way was intended as insulting. But,
anyone with Japanese bilingual experience would pronounce Bonzai as "bone
sigh" which would hardly get across the feeling of "Live 10,000 years"
battle cry or "hip hip hooray".
Thanks for avoiding this embarrassment are due Jimmie Jenkins with
20 years experience learning the Japanese language. Also, thanks are due to
David Fiedler and Paul S. Hetrick who wished me luck dispite correcting my
bad spelling first.
I stand a Bonzai, duly pruned and thank my senseis.
With Steve Weyer's newt and some helpful correspondence, I have
been developing a newton gps navigator program for some years while doing a
Ph.D. in theoretical physics with intensive background in differential
geometry and carrying on international correspondence. Thanks are due this
sensei, too.
"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the 8th Dimension" movie
inspired the name for my newton gps navigator program. I wanted a
distinctive name that people would remember and I really loved and
recommend that wonderful crazy video.
Who can forget his gallant and wonderful remark when the crowd
insulted his to be genius girlfriend :
"Hey, don't be mean. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!"
I'd like people to think of that uplifting phrase when they use my
gps program to go somewhere!
The introduction to the movie spoke of his oriental background and
capacity to go in many directions at the same time (he was a neural
surgeon, rock star and race car driver and perhaps more that I can't
remember).
Well, if you pay the $15 dollar share ware fee, you will find out
how you too can do "like Buckaroo Banzai" did, go in many directions or
routes to be found on menus with my menu search engines.
You will, with these routes, be able to adjust your speed to get an
estimated time of arrival, "to aim your car in time as well". This is
useful for actual racers and also for those of us who need to know how few
minutes we actually save by driving recklessly!
But, hey, something other than my program has to make "contact" and
receive "those signals from outer space", the locator signals from our gps
satellites. All gps programs need to be connected to such receivers.
Garmin has cheap $130 gps receiver with serial and NMEA sentence
output for the newton. I use a trimble scoutmaster gps, not so cheap but
"way cool". They got me to understanding this stuff years ago, before other
people had serial cables.
I've got some urls from tidbits and perhaps some of you know of
even cheaper gps receivers that will communicate with a newton. If you are
thinking of buying tripmate for $125 upgrade price, think again, you might
be tempted, in addition, to buy a Hooper for its internal cd. You can't fit
a Hooper in your pocket when you leave your car and don't want your car
broken into.
GPSy (http://www.gpsy.com/) makes cables (I've made my own, but its
a bear for me to figure).
You will need instructions from me to use my program and
instructions are an ongoing pruning process like people do with those
Bonzai trees. The more people I help the better I get at instructing.
For example, you will be able to use maps put in newton press
books. You will learn how to make coordinate systems from Street Atlas USA
3.0 and 4.0 and set them in most recent street map versions from lycos or
mapquest.
Coordinate systems? Aren't they for people who do general
relativity and aspire to go about in the 8th dimension? Hey, your
imagination alone limits your usefulness and "Don't be mean...".
Coordinate systems here associate latlons with points on the map
pictures, it doesn't take a differential geometer or a Ph.D. in theoretical
physics to use these things (only my instructions). In the words of Mr.
John Bignewteye (thanks to Steve Deyo's wit), "Laugha while you can monkey
boy!"
And for only $5 more, you will also get automated route parsers
that will tell your newton not only in what directions you will get where
Buckaroo might have wanted to go, but also predict when you will achieve
the milestone of getting there. My parsing experience started with mac
programs dealing with pictures and sound going to the newton (free ware I
submitted to the infomac archives). Now, with NTK (Newton Inc.'s Newton
Tool Kit), I have continued making parsers on the newton.
And Banzai will get you there by
------------talking-------------
to you.
I will put in some, as yet primitive, speech files, so you won't
have to stare at the map while you drive.
If you don't want to go with the parsers yet, I will merely send
instructions on how to build files for Banzai and how to get the newton
program slurpee. With slurpee, my free ware mac parsers alone (search my
name at our web site for precise and easy spelling of the download links),
you will be able to fill those empty menus you see on the current download.
These menus that you put in are the places you want to go, the maps you put
in, and the routes you have entered for yourself.
Newton press is dynamite, don't miss it! mp2100 will have included
a greyscale version.
Banzai is going to have more advanced versions. For example, my
menus of routes, maps, and places to go are getting so long that I have
started to put in search engines to find things on the menus.
When you get on Buckaroo's winning team, you too will be able to
aim your car in time. You will be able to adjust your speed to get an
estimated time of arrival.
If you don't want to do this, at least rent the video, "The
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the 8th Dimension" and start to get the
spirit.

After a mysterious boating accident, you find yourself stranded on a small
tropical island. Life isn't so bad here: there's food, wood, and gold for
the taking, so why leave? Well, even paradise has its dark moments, and
this particular paradise is about to be wiped off the map by a hurricane.
Your newfound life of leisure has turned into a lesson in bare survival.
Avoid starving to death, chop wood, build a boat, and get off that sand
pile. Before you leave, you might even have enough time to line your
pockets with the gold that still litters the island.

Bible User Dictionary Modules for Common Word Processors:
Enclosed in this file are a series of Bible User Dictionary modules for
use with common word processors.
Modules are enclosed for Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Nisus, all Claris
programs, and a generic module (text-only) that can be imported into any
other program.
Five different Bible version modules are available for each of the above
word processors:
€ The New American Standard Bible (NASB)
€ The New International Version (NIV)
€ The Revised Standard Version (RSV)
€ The King James Version (KJV)
€ The New King James Version (NKJV)
These different modules are needed because different Bible versions spell certain words differently, especially in regard to proper names and geographical locations. You can use the module (or modules) of the version(s) you regularly use.
The NIV module has some 3300 unique words (that is, words that are not found in normal spell checking programs). The KJV module has well over 5500 unique words. In each case, the modules should make spell-checking your documents much simpler!
Consult your program manual for instructions on installing and/or activating these modules.
PLEASE NOTE that there is a $5 shareware fee to cover the many, many hours it took to construct these modules.

Subject: Complex Adaptive Systems
These simulations explore a variety of complex adaptive systems.
Psychology, computer science, economics, biology, and neuroscience
depend upon a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern
adaptive systems. A common feature of these systems is that organized
behavior emerges from the interactions of many simple parts. Ants
organize to build colonies, neurons organize to produce adaptive human
behavior, and businesses organize to create economies. To address the
essential question of "What are the properties of complex adaptive
systems?," simulations case studies of several systems are explored:
chaotic growth in animal populations, human learning, cooperation and
competition within social groups, genetic algorithms, leaf formation in
pine cones, and the evolution of artificial life. The central idea
running through all of the simulations is that widely different systems
(businesses, ant colonies, brains) share fundamental commonalities.

Subject: CrystalDesigner 7.0
I give permission for our program to be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.
Abstract:
CrystalDesigner is a tool for building, studying and visualising all kinds
of crystal structures. CrystalDesigner is an ideal tool for both teaching
and scientific studies. The software is intended to be used by students and
teachers at colleges and universities, as well as in industrial research.
What's new in CrystalDesigner 7.0?
CrystalDesigner now allows visualisation of atoms on the corners of the
co-ordination polyhedra. Further more, these atoms may be selected and if
desirable deleted. If a corner atom is deleted, the co-ordination
polyhedron will automatically be redrawn according to the new
co-ordination. Beginning with this release it is also possible to record
QuickTime movies.
Additional main features:
- Corner atoms of a co-ordination polyhedron may now be displayed and the
size of the corner atoms may be adjusted by the end user
- Colour shaded polyhedra may be displayed alternatively with black frames,
colour frames or as previously without frames.
- QuickTime movies may be created by adding frame by frame manually or by
automatically recording all user actions.
- Additional rotation controls have been added to allow a continuously
rotation or a rotation by a given angle of the graphics.
- Improved colour shading of atoms, bonds and polyhedra.
- Support for hairlines when printing.
- Online documentation (Mac OS 8.6 or higher).
- Export of atom co-ordinates
-
- Density of the crystal structure is automatically calculated and
displayed by using the unit cell view (Calculations assume 10027777767120ccupancy).
- The distances to the nearest neighbours are now automatically displayed
in the info window when an atom is selected by the end user.
- Reduced prices
- A hand full of bug fixes
System requirements:
- System 7.5 or higher
- 4 MB available memory
- 6 MB hard disk space
- 68020 CPU or higher

Subject: Detect New Volume - Display volume's message-of-the-day
Date: Thu, 17 Mar 1994 14:32:46 -0600
--========================_13948252==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
What: Detect a new mounted volume and "double-click" at a
document/application (if found) at a "standard" location on that volume
What for: telling the user (a student) what's new on some particular
volume and/or how to use it. The document "clicked" by the
present WatchVol program may be a text document about what's new
on the volume. Or it may be any application that somehow prepares
the student how to use the (file server) volume, whenever the
volume is mounted.
Hot points: Dynamic (transient) patch of the system: doesn't require
restarting the system, gets uninstalled when the application quits.
Contents:
WatchVol - Application (watchdog) itself
Watch MountVol.pi - project and resource files to build it
Watch MountVol.pi.rsrc
WatchMount.cc - Source code of the main module (C++)
launcher.cc - Launches an application-creator given FSSpec of
the document/application
MountVol init.pi - project to compile an Init (not INIT!) code
resource that patches the system on-the-fly
MountVol init.c - Source code of the _MountVol interceptor
(assembly inlined into a dummy C program)
The source code contains enough (I hope) comments to show what
a particular piece of code does, as well as some tricks involved
Language: Symantec C/C++ 6.0 and built-in Assembler
System: System 7.x, uses AppleEvents. Tested on IIsi, IIci,
Quadras and Centres.
Patching the system: _MountVol system trap is patched when the application
starts up. The patch is removed (i.e., the trap is restored to
its original state) when the application quits.
How to run: place the application into your "Startup Items" folder;
the application quits when it receives a "QUIT" event, or
when it's in the foreground and any keyboard key is pressed.
Note: the source code uses a "standard" environment, see myenv-notify.cpt
For completeness, the library and the .h file are included as a separate
CompactPro archive. However, they (complete with the source code)
can be found at various archive sites under the name 'myenv-notify'
