From: pcfe@unix-ag.uni-kl.de
Subject: 7Tuner 2.0.9
7Tuner is an application that modifies certain resources in your System,
Finder, and/or system enablers to change the appearances and
functionalities of your System 7. Since all changes are modified directly
in your system software, the changes do not require extra system memory to
function and remain available even all extensions are turned off. Version
2.0.9 supports Mac(tm)OS System 7.0 to 7.6.1, 68K, Power Macintosh, and
MacOS-compatible.
7Tuner 2.0.9 includes 7 options:
*** Finder Shortcuts ***
Set all possible command key combinations for Finder's menus (total of 36
menu items with 47 different keys).
*** 3D System Folders ***
Change System's default folder icons, such as System Folder, Control
Panels, and so on. 7Tuner 3D folder and Copland style folder files are
included.
*** Color System Icons ***
Change System's default icons, such as alert box icons, Trash cans, and
many others. 7Tuner icon and Copland style icon files are included.
*** Finder Tuner ***
Activate or deactivate Finder's zooming rectangle effect, rename delay, and
keyboard menu. Change suffixes of new folder, copy, and alias. Change the
font style of alias names.
*** Identifications ***
Change the machine name and icon that appear in the Finder's "About This
Macintosh" window, and change the menu name of Finder's "About This
Macintosh" to anything you like. (In MacOS System 7.6 or later, "About This
Mac(tm)OS Computer..." is displayed)
*** Color Tuner ***
Change colors of menu bar, menu item, and window background.
*** Cursor Tuner ***
Change animated cursor and I-beam cursor.
Version 2.0.9 features automatic duplication and swap of system files,
customization of all options, help text, Balloon Help, and auto recovery.

Subject: Aaron+Plus
Aaron+Plus is an accessory to "~Aaron" which I have come up with.
It changes the appearance of your cursor to something a little
more 'Aaronish'.
If you have ResEdit, you can choose between several cursors
by changing the ID# of the cursor you want, to "1" (one).
Note: The cursors are in the "crsr" Resource Fork.

About This Computer Replacements
Version 1.0
2/28/98
These are some replacement pictures for the MacOS 8.x "About This Computer" dialog box. As yet another way to customize your Macintosh. Software developers tracking memory leaks should appreciate a little change from the same boring Earth from Space picture.
Included are a few variations on the MacOS logo, some shameless plugs for the projects I'm working on (The Loft- formerly Event Horizon Reality Studio), and a special one for those of use who know the ins and out of ResEdit a little too well.
System Requirements:
MacOS 8 or above. That's it!
Installation:
There are two ways to use these:
1. Edit your Finder with ResEdit (not for the faint of heart!)
2. Use Mac Identifier 2.x
Enjoy!

Subject: ABox 1.8
Hi all...
The 'collective' of TopSoft Inc., a not-for-profit software programming
group, is proud to announce the first public release of the ABox, also
known as TSAbout, available for use within your non-commercial applications
(be sure to read the license that comes with the ABox software, and all
other TopSoft software packages).
We wanted to come up with something that no-one had ever really seen or
done before, much like our guiding principle for the FilterTop software,
and release it as part of the FilterTop package as well as its own package.
The ABox supports nearly all of the way-cool-nifty-gee-i-gotta-have
features that Apple has been cranking out for System 7 and beyond. It
supports QuickTime, the Text-to-Speech Manager, Drag-and-Drop, the
Asynchronous Sound Manager, the old Threads Package, the new Threads
Manager, is PowerPC capable via UPP's instead of ProcPtr's...you get the
idea
The ABox is really just a set of C++ classes that have a rather API for
client software, based mainly upon the early documentation regarding
Apple's Speech Recognition Manager; the ABox has an object-oriented
"properties" driven API, where instead of providing lots of methods to do
lots of things, there are a handful of methods to do lots of things. Most
importantly, all client-adjustable features of the ABox are driven through
a pair of easy to use methods that are documented in the ABox demo
application and the web pages.
Most importantly, the ABox can be used to display a set of Topics and
Slides, which makes it useful for tasks such as enhanced about boxes,
online reference, help, etc. Topics are really just files within a
folder-tree, where each file is either a QuickTime movie, a text file
(normal TEXT and SimpleText 'ttro'), a PICT file, or a file that contains a
'TSAb' resource which instructs the ABox which resources should be grouped
together as Slides within the Topic (much like icon families...a group of
resources that share the same ID). By pointing the ABox at the root of some
folder tree containing files with 'TSAb' resources, you can make the ABox
display a hierarchical list of topics that the user can then browse
Oh, by the way...adding the ABox to your projects will add about 49K (even
less when compiled and built with the latest Metrowerks CodeWarrior
compiler!
And now, some current news about the ABox...
-------------------
Web Stuff:
The _new_ ABox web pages are installed and available on the TS-Mac, so
point your web surfers at:
http://www.topsoft.org
to see the TopSoft Home Page, which has a link to the ABox pages, or you
can go directly to the ABox pages via
http://www.topsoft.org/Projects/ABox/AB_Welcome.html
-------------------
Current Versions:
The current verion of the ABox software is v1.8, and is available as part
of the FilterTop software release or as the ABox source & demo release,
available via anonymous ftp to the TS-Mac (ftp.topsoft.org) or atlas
(atlas.chem.utah.edu)
-------------------
Please, take some time out during your web surfing and check out TopSoft's
home page, and while you're at it grab a copy of the ABox for a test drive.
thanks in advance

License: Trialware, 30-day
Description: Ever overwritten a document by mistake and wished you could
get it back? Now you can with Aladdin FlashBack!
It's Simple To Use!
FlashBack allows you to recreate any document just as it was when it was saved.
Every time you save a FlashBack-protected file, you create a permanent record
that you can go back to any time you want. Now your ability to "undo" changes
is limited only by how often you save! Save as often as you like without falling
victim to "saver's remorse!"
Hey, we all make mistakes. FlashBack makes it painless to correct them. Get
FlashBack, and save your important work as often as you like without the worry
of accidentally saving over something you didn't mean to. Ever have a client
who never knows what they want, and then, out of the blue suddenly they do?
And it was that version you showed them three months ago? Now you can give it to
them, instantly. Because you've got it. Because you've got FlashBack.

Subject: AliasHelper 1.1
AliasHelper helps you manage aliases on your Mac by finding and displaying
all unattached aliases on your hard disk. AliasHelper then allows you to
easily reconnect or delete the unattached aliases. Optimized for MacOS 8 &
9.
Occasionally aliases lose their connection to the original file.
It's recommended to run AliasHelper a couple times a week to keep your
system optimized.
New for v1.1:
� New Alias menu item: Suggestions. Offers suggestions for reconnecting the
alias.
� New Alias menu item: Alias Info (also displayed when an alias in the list
is double-clicked).
� Now able to select more than one alias in Alias list (send multiple
aliases to the Trash).

Subject: AliasKeys 1.0.3 - assign keystrokes to open files and folders
AliasKeys lets you assign keystrokes to open files and folders. Any item
that the Finder can open may be dragged to the list of AliasKeys and
assigned a combination of keys, to open it without touching your mouse.
You can use AliasKeys for applications, documents, folders, aliases,
preference panels, servers, scripts...
Hitting the keys opens the corresponding item, as would a double-click
on its icon. AliasKeys is basically as simple as that; it is also
extremely easy to set up.
AliasKeys needs Mac OS X 10.2 or better. It is fully compatible with
10.3 "Panther". AliasKeys is fully unicode-aware and can be used with
any international keyboard and localized system version.
Languages included: English, French, Japanese.
Changes in version 1.0.3:
* A couple of cosmetic bugs fixed in the French resources.
* Previous versions used a self-copying "internet-aware" disk image.
They are a good idea, but they only work well in some web browsers. For
many users, they create a unmanageable situation that has caused plenty
of tech support emails. Thus, with this version, we are back to a
"plain" .dmg file, along with a .sit for backup.
* Adventurous users can test a hidden feature. Open
"~/Library/Preferences/net.widemann.aliaskeys.plist" and set
openFinderSelectionWithCapsLock to YES (or true), then save, log out and
login back. From now on, if the capslock key is down, AliasKeys will try
to open the selected item(s) in the Finder with the triggered item.
For example, if the AliasKey is set to open Preview, selecting a
PDF file and hitting the AliasKey will launch Preview and open the PDF,
even if the PDF's creator is Acrobat. This feature may hit snags when
combining some file types with certain applications, so be warned and
use at your own risk. We do NOT tech-support this feature, however we'll
accept gladly any comment or suggestion that you wish to offer.

Subject: SAM Installer Scripts
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:

This is a CDEF I wrote for implementing an up-down arrow similar to those
found in the color picker. It supports the ability to use any PICT resources
to draw the arrow, so you can make the arrow look however you like.
Included is a Think C 5.0.4 project for the CDEF and a program to test
it. The test program includes a resource file with a B&W set of arrows

Enclosed is a new version of Ars Magna called Ars Magna II. 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.

make all the harddisk's in a lab look almost identical. When the
Assimilator program is run on a lab Macintosh it will mount an
AppleShare file server and then make the harddisk look more or less
exactly like a pre-specified source folder on the server. It does this
by throwing away (into the Trash) any files or folders that don't belong
or are different and downloading any missing files. Icon positions,
folder views, finder flags and so forth are all corrected on the client
Macintosh to match the source folder.
Although it is designed for student lab situations, it might also be
useful in other circumstances, such as for setting up newly purchased
Macs or in testing or demo labs.
Changes since 1.1 include:
* Open Transport IP address, and PCI ethernet address compatibility. *
You can set a folder to be downloaded only if the destination folder is
missing. * Interoperability with MacPrefect and MacAdministrator. *
Various bug fixes and enhancements.
Assimilator requires System 7 and a harddisk and is $10 shareware.
Version 1.1 is a free upgrade to registered users who registered after 1
Jan 1996. Users who registered prior to 1996 can upgrade and receive a
50 46iscount.
Enjoy,
Peter.

Subject: AtariVD Editor 1.3
AtariVD Editor allows you to create and edit virtual disks for Atari 8-bit
computers (400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 65XE, & 130XE models) on the
Macintosh. The virtual disks can be used with Rainbow, Chris Lam's Atari
800/800XL/130XE emulator for the Mac, or with any other Atari 8-bit emulators.
AtariVD Editor recognizes 8-bit virtual disk files in these formats:
.ATR: Nick Kennedy's SIO ATR file format with a 16-byte header at the
beginning of the file.
.ATD: AtariDisk format. These files begin with a 16-byte Macintosh header.
.RBW/Raw disk images: No header data. These files contain only the disk
sectors themselves.
AtariVD Editor is capable of reading, writing, and creating virtual disks in
both Atari DOS 2.0/2.5 and MyDOS 4.5 formats. In MyDOS format, you can create
virtual disks from 720 to 65,535 sectors of either 128 or 256 bytes! (90K to 16MB)
A simple text conversion feature with built in ATASCII <-> Macintosh text
conversion is also provided.
Changes in version 1.3, 11/7/1999
---------------------------------
* Fixed an Atari DOS 2.x file flag-byte bug (caused an error-144 when
attempting to read from Atari DOS).
* Fixed DOS 2.5 enhanced density free sector calculation. (really!)
* Fixed updating of byte edit box when the sector number is changed with the
file list selected.
* Internal enhancements: better memory handling, some routines rewritten to be
more compact and efficient, several redundant code blocks replaced with
subroutine calls.
* Improved Atari <-> Mac file name conversion.
* The "Save Sector" button is now enabled and disabled as appropriate.
* When clicking on a list (file/hexadecimal/ASCII) to activate it, the current
selection is now preserved.
* Byte selection between the hexadecimal and ASCII sector data lists has been synchronized.
* Major dialog boxes have been converted to movable modal dialogs.
* Two arrow controls have been added to the sector editor, allowing easy
sequential sector navigation.
* A new preferences dialog lets users choose how boot data is stored, and
whether to use Rainbow type/creator codes.
* When adding or erasing a bootable DOS file on Atari DOS 2.x disks, the boot
sector data is no longer overwritten.
* The free sector indicator in virtual disk windows now shows the total usable
sectors and free space in KB.
* The file/directory list header now displays the total number of items in the
current directory.
* Multiple items can now be selected in the file/directory list.
* Files with creator/type codes of "A8VD/TEXT" can now be imported into
virtual disks from the Finder.
* Drag and Drop support added.
* Many additional small UI changes/improvements to menus, dialogs, and the
disk windows.
AtariVD Editor 1.3 is freeware. Requires System 7.5 or later.

Subject: Austrian Patch for Mac OS D-8.1
This patch is similar to the one I posted earlier today. The other one
was for OS 8.5, this one patches the German version of Mac OS 8.1. It
adds some Austrian data to your system file, *replacing* the
corresponding German ones and thus compensating the lack of Austrian
localization resources in the Mac OS. You'll notice the difference in the
control panels Datum & Uhrzeit, Tastatureinstellungen and Zahlenformate,
plus, of course, in the keyboard menu.
This patch only works with the German version of Mac OS 8.1. Do not
attempt to install it over other versions.

Subject: AutoCheck 2.4.2
Automates Apple's Disk First Aid (a free program distributed with the Mac
OS) to check all disks at once, except remote and read-only volumes and any
you exclude. A complete run through a typical configuration takes less than
five minutes.
The importance of something like AutoCheck, maybe placed in the Mac's
Startup Items folder, is that most users run Disk First Aid or a similar
utility only when experiencing problems. But a lot of disk damage is
incremental, and early detection and repair can be crucial to safeguarding
data.
By itself, Disk First Aid takes several steps to run. AutoCheck automates
the entire process, with several convenient options. It stops and posts a
dialog only if a disk error is found. Otherwise, it runs and then quits
Disk First Aid and itself by the time you've gotten a cup of coffee, and
your Mac has a clean bill of health.

Balloons.ext is an external package for use with 4th Dimension. It is a
freeware utility that enables localized Balloon Help and changing Balloon
Help messages during runtime. With the package, you can display text from
string resources and 4th Dimension variables. You can also display styled
text and pictures.
T o i n s t a l l t h e p a c k a g e
Copy the package with the 4D External Mover into your structure file. The
package will work with 4D Server, 4th Dimension 3.0 or higher and System
7.0 or higher.
T o u s e t h e p a c k a g e
You do not need to call any external procedures. The package installs
itself automatically during startup. You can specify Balloon Help for
objects in a layout by clicking the 'Balloon Help' button in the object
info dialog. See the 4D Design Reference for details. You can specify
dynamic balloon help the same way as you would do it for static text
elements.
R e s o u r c e B a l l o o n s
To display the contents of a STR# resource, say string 1 of resource 15000,
you set the Balloon Help text to
:15000,1
The STR# resource should be in your structure or .res file, otherwise no
balloon will be shown.
To display the contents of a PICT resource, say resource 15000, you set the
Balloon Help text to
:P15000
To display the contents of a styled text resource, say resource 15000, you
set the Balloon Help text to
:T15000
Styled text resources are a combination of 'TEXT' and 'styl' resources.
They can be created easily with ResEdit.
To display the contents of a 'STR ' resource, say 15000, you set the
Balloon help text to
:S15000
V a r i a b l e B a l l o o n s
Displaying variables enables you to change the balloon help message
according to the state of your program. For example, if a checkbox is
checked you might display a different help message for it then when it is
unchecked. This significantly improves the effectiveness of balloon help.
To display the value of a 4D variable, say myVariable, you set the Balloon

Subject: Better UDebugger 1.1 - Debugging power for CodeWarriors
(Version 1.1 fixes an error in the included resources.)
This is really nothing spectacular but I haven't seen or heard
of anything like it so here it is.
What:
Better UDebugger is a patch for PowerPlant 1.1 (CW6). It's
includes this document, an altered "PP DebugAlerts.rsrc" and a
patch for "UDebugger.cp".
How:
Replace the "PP DebugAlerts.rsrc" found in the PowerPlant
Resources folder inside your PowerPlant Libraries folder and
apply the patch to "UDebugger.cp" found inside the Utility
Classes folder. The patch is an UpdateMaker document and the
application can be found on your CodeWarrior CD. UpdateMaker
should be on your HD so just open the patch. To see the
changes you have to use debugAction_Alert by adding these two
lines to your main():
SetDebugThrow_(debugAction_Alert);
SetDebugSignal_(debugAction_Alert);
Why:
After "installation" you'll be given more options everytime an
exception or signal occurs. You'll be able to quit the program
(great when you're caught in a loop or just want to go home and
never program again), break into the debugger (great when you
want more info and track those critters down) or just continue
("I didn't see that...").
Maybe not the greatest hack in the world but hey, it made me
smile a couple of times.

Yacc 1.9.1 for CodeWarrior is based largely on Berkeley Yacc 1.9
and was converted to the Metrowerks CodeWarrior IDE by Jeff
Laing. Code generation was modified specifically for CodeWarrior
and a number of the more obscure �syntax error� type errors that
Berkeley Yacc produces have been enhanced to provide more
information.
Version 1.9.1 was recompiled with CW9 and version 4 of the plugin
API and adds the following features:
� 9.761181e-313xpect allows suppression of shift/reduce & reduce/reduce
warning
� Moved skeleton code into TEXT resources in plugin
� Added flag to generate .cp files instead of .c
and corrects the following bugs:
� output files are now truncated before use.
� text after grammar now included in output files.
� preferences now correctly saved.
This plugin is not free, nor is it in the public domain. It comes
with the hefty shareware fee of 15 US Dollars (if you pay via Kagi)
or 15 Australian Dollars (if you pay directly by cash or cheque
on an Australian bank).
Permission is explicity given for this software to be included on
compilation CD-ROM's and other collections provided that Tristero

BugScan 1.0b1
October 23, 1998
BugScan is freeware - by downloading this file, you agree to use it at your own risk.
This application was mainly designed for our clients to determine if they do in fact have the AutoStart and Graphics Accelerator files on their hard drives. These viruses have become real pests for many of us. Make sure you use Virex or Norton Anti Virus if you get a red light (and then call your local computer consultant). If you get a green light, bonus! If you don't own one of these applications already, make one of them your next purchase.
BugScan will detect all files for all strains of the AutoStart 9805 Worm current at 10/23/98 as well the Graphics Accelerator Extension (GAX). BugScan will also detect any combination of these files. Click BugScan's 'Help' button to read more about the viruses themselves.
We strongly recommend that you restart your Mac with extensions off (holding down the 'shift' key) before running BugScan. You can now restart your Mac from directly within BugScan if needed.
BugScan gives you two scanning options:
Quick Scan Method
Checks for AutoStart and Graphics Accelerator files in their exact locations on the selected volume. This method does a top level scan and a system level scan on the selected volume (a system level scan is performed only if there is a System Folder on the selected volume).
Full Scan Method
Checks for AutoStart and Graphics Accelerator files in all locations on the selected volume - in other words, everywhere. Note that the full scan method takes much longer and even longer yet when scanning network volumes. This is, however, the recommended method.
BugScan gives you three menu options:
Install 9805 Defense
Creates invisible, locked folders in the appropriate locations on your startup disk to combat the AutoStart 9805 Worm.
Install GAX (Graphics Accelerator) Defense
Creates an invisible, locked folder in the Extensions Folder on your startup disk to combat the Graphics Accelerator Virus.
Open QuickTime Control Panel
Opens the QuickTime Control Panel and prompts you to turn the "Enable CD-ROM AutoPlay" function off. BugScan quits immediately after opening the Control Panel.
If BugScan locates any virus applications and/or virus reference files, BugScan will attempt to remove them. If any of the files are already in use (infecting your hard drive), BugScan warns you and prompts you to delete them manually. BugScan will do its very best to make any invisible files visible and to move all these files to the trash. If this is not necessary, the files will be deleted but you'll still need to do a proper virus scan to see if the rest of your Mac has been infected. Hopefully not.
Running BugScan does not make your Mac instantly 'safe'! Everyone needs to practice "safe computing" from now on!
Remember to do a proper virus scan using Virex or Norton Anti Virus. The bad news is that if you've been infected for some time now, you'll probably be looking at a complete reformat and re-install. The best advice we can give you is to get on this ASAP.
We do not provide free technical support for freeware (nor free technical support for virus-hunting, troubleshooting and maintenance).
Good luck...

Here is a 2nd collection of insect icons that I created on my Mac using
ResEdit. They are ready for use as folders, but you can cut and paste them
onto anything on you desire. I think that these ones are way better than
the first collection,
so download these and decorate your desktop with the best looking icons on
six legs.
They're e-mailware! All I ask is quick note by way of payment. Small

Subject: Burn 2.5
I'm pleased to announce the latest release of Burn, version 2.5.
Now fully Macintosh 8.5 and Mac OS HFS+ file system compatible.
Enhance your privacy by securely deleting data from your computer. Most people don't realize that emptying the trash does not erase the content of the file being deleted. Burn solves this problem by overwritting the file's data before deleting it.
Burn features user specified erase patterns and number of passes.
Burn 2.5 fixes a problem where erase free space would not erase more than 2 gigabytes of free space from drives that had more free space available. Burn 2.5 has also been thoroughly tested with Macintosh OS 8.5 and the new Mac OS HFS+ file system.

CleanRecentItems 1.0
What it is: AppleScript program that cleans up the Recent Items Folder
Author: Ton Brand
Mac OS: 8.5 or newer
License: freeware
CleanRecentItems takes care of an error in Mac OS 8.5 and newer that makes
the Recent Items folder at the end of the path "Your Hard Disk:System
folder:Preferences folder:Navigation Services folder:" being overloaded by a
huge number of aliases in the course of time.
This causes an unreasonable delay when calling up an Open or Save dialog
supported by Navigation Services, because the system has to find the 10 most
recent items out of several hundreds (or more) for display under the Recent
popup menu.
CleanRecentItems sets a default limit of 50 for the number of items stored
in the Recent Items folder. When that number is exceeded, the whole contents
of the folder is moved to the trash. You can modify the limit by opening the
script of CleanRecentItems with Script Editor.
It is suggested that you put this program in your Startup or Shutdown Items
folder, which is in the System folder.

Subject: ClippingNamer 1.0.3
Finder clippings are a wonderful idea that most people don't use because
they're such a pain to deal with. Ever tried to find the right clipping
among a bunch of "Text Clipping 1", "Text Clipping 2", etc? It's not too
bad with one clipping, but more than a couple leads to long sessions in
the Finder assigning useful names, wasting the time you saved.
ClippingNamer helps you manage clippings. Without leaving your current
program, you can:
* Automatically assign a new name based on the (text) clipping contents.
* Automatically create a thumbnail image (icon) for picture clippings.
* Popup a dialog that lets you see both ClippingNamer's and the Finder's
suggested names, and use either one or a new name you type.
You can set any of these modes (or none) as the default, and invoke any
of the others with modifier keys (completely customizable). There are
several other convenience options as well.
UPDATE: Version 1.0.2 fixes a small bug that could cause the dialog to
appear when dragging data within the same program (not to the Finder).
Also, invented file names that contain return characters are now handled
correctly, dragging stuff to the Trash works, and various cosmetic
improvements to the dialogs are in place.
ClippingNamer is $10 shareware. See

Subject: Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer 1.1
Brain-Sucker Productions is pleased to announce that Curmudgeon's Eudora
Fixer has been upgraded to version 1.1. Its companion application, Eudora
Sound Mover, remains at version 1.0.1.
New in this version:
A user noted that the contextual menu for the Status column didn't reflect
your preferred graphics: it was still the "new style" icons, albeit a
little smaller. The problem was that the icons were stored in more than one
location and more than one format-- "cicn" as well as "ics8/4/#" for those
of you who know what resources are. This was fixed, and now when you click
and hold in the Status column, you'll see the icons that you created!
(Users who previously ran CEF to change their Eudora icons must run the new
version to get this functionality.)
A layering problem was also fixed, so that users of Systems prior to Mac OS
8.0 will be able to see all the icons.
Availability and Contact Information
Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer v1.1 and Eudora Sound Mover v1.0.1 are packaged
together, in the form of a StuffIt 5.0 archive, along with some useful
mail-related sounds. This archive is available immediately from
Brain-Sucker's website:

Subject: Cyber Link 1.03 cpt
Cyber Link is a utility that allows you to use the Finder and its icons to
keep track of and organize all the places you visit while you are surfing
the World Wide Web.
Cyber Link files are like Macintosh Finder Aliases except that they point
to WWW files and documents instead of Macintosh Files and documents. They
are small files that contain the WWW URL or Universal Resource Locator.
When you click on one in the finder the Cyber Link application sends a
message to your Web Browser telling it to go to that location.
Cyber Link files can be created easily. When you have found a location on
the Web you would like to make a Cyber Link to use the New... menu command
from Cyber Link's File menu to save the Cyber Link file to your hard disk.
Cyber Link implements one of the coolest features in Microsoft Windows 95
that's not available on the Macintosh already, Shortcuts.
You can also go to Cyber Link locations by using the Open... command in
Cyber Links File menu or dropping a Cyber Link file icon on the Cyber Link
applications icon in the finder. You can drop MacWeb URL files on the
Cyber Link applications icon as well.
Are you tired of typing "http://www." and ".com" every time you want to go
to a location on the Web. The Go To Company Name... command in the Navigate
menu may be just what you are looking for. If you type apple, sony,
microsoft or rtz into the dialog box that appears your web browser will
go the home pages for those company's. What is happening is Cyber Link is
actually sending your web browser a message to go to Web URL
http://www.rtz.com. Many companies arrange the names of their web sites in
this same way so this menu command will work with all of them. The The Go
To School Name... command will work the same way but will add a '.edu' to
the end of the URL instead of a '.com'.
If you are using Cyber Link with The Virtual Meeting and you have the
conference floor you can control all the other conference attendees Web
Browsers using Cyber Link. When you double click on a Cyber Link file Cyber
Link will not only tell your Web Browser to go that location it will
broadcast a message to all the other Web Browsers in the conference telling
them to go to that location as well.
For more information on The Virtual Meeting visit the RTZ Software home
page. You can do this by selecting the find Out More about The Virtual
Meeting" command in the navigation menu. Or selecting the Go To Company
Name... and typing in rtz.
Cyber Link will launch Netscape Navigator 1.1, MacWeb or Mosaic if it can
find them on your Macintosh. If you have more than one you may want to edit
Cyber Links STR# resource # 300 using ResEdit to change the priority in
which Cyber Link searches for and launches these Applications.

Subject: DaemonCron Lite 1.5
This small daemon posts messages to the screen, and will launch
applications,
documents, AppleScripts, sound files, etc., on any schedule you set.
Possible
uses include nagging yourself (via Notification Manager alerts or
AppleScripts), launching Netscape at 3 A.M. to drive your cat nuts, whining
soulfully when someone else is using your computer, turning your house
lights
on or off (requires wiring and additional stuff not provided), doing things
at
startup or shutdown, listening to your ex's dead dog bark every now and
then,
and so forth. Hey, it's daemonic! Use your imagination!
DaemonCron is freeware for private use.
Requires PowerPC and OS 7.5 or better (OS 9.1 recommended). Requires ResEdit
or
Resorcerer for configuration, and you should be comfortable with
no-holds-barred system spelling bees when you configure launchfile names.
;-)
NOTE: Support for 68k machines has been discontinued.
Changes in this version:
1.5 - 6 June 2001 - Removed the seriously outdated PlaySound code because it
was asynchronous and too buggy under OS 9. Sounds are now managed by
launching
sound files instead. Also, enhanced the random cron so that users may "tune"
how often a random item (usually a sound file) will be launched. Fixed a bug
that forced DaemonCron to play ALL the random crons, instead of selecting
one
at random.

Subject: Default Folder 3.1.2 - Open/Save dialog enhancement
This is the latest release of Default Folder. Default Folder 3.1.2
should replace any previous English-language versions of Default
Folder in the archives.
Default Folder is a Mac OS 9.1 and OS X Classic savvy control panel
that enhances Open and Save dialog boxes to make it easier for you to
manage files on your Macintosh. It provides many of the essential
features of commercial utilities like Action Files, SuperBoomerang,
and Directory Assistance, but without the infrequently used extras
that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage.
In addition, Default Folder fully supports the Navigation Services
Open and Save dialogs available in Mac OS 8.5 and higher, allowing
you to access your recently used and favorite folders everywhere.
What's New
----------
Default Folder 3.1.2 now allows users to change the Finder labels on
files and folders from within Open and Save dialogs with Default
Folder's Get Info command. The new release also includes
compatibility fixes for users of Photoshop 6.0.1, AdobePS, and
Extensions Strip.

Mac OS 8.0 and higher has the ObjectSupportLib function built in. So the

Unfortunately, some installers automatically create an ObjectSupportLib

Subject: Deskpop 1.0.5
What does "Deskpop" do?
Deskpop is a Control Strip module which lists all volumes, folders and
files currently on the Mac's desktop.
This is especially useful for the (hopefully short) time the desktop is
cluttered.
Folders are displayed with the underline style.
Volumes (a.k.a. Disks) are displayed with the bold bold+underline style.
The Trash is displayed with the bold style.
Selecting an item from the Deskpop menu will open it.
Holding down the Control+Option keys will reveal it in the Finder.
Holding down the Control+Shift keys will move the selected item to the
Trash.
If the selected item is a volume, Control+Shift+selecting will unmount it
and eject it, if it�s ejectable.
These key combinations can be modified using the "Deskpop Settings"
dialog, which is accessible from the Deskpop menu item with the same name.
Requirements
Requires Mac OS 7.1 or better, and scriptable Finder (which is integrated
into Mac OS 7.5 and better, I believe).
For more information, please read the Release Notes enclosed.
Thanks,

End desktop clutter forever! Avoid the most tedious file operations. This
utility will move, delete, shred or alias files that are dropped on it. Put
copies of it in your Apple Menu, on your launch pad, or in deep folders. Make

Keep a number of Valets around in convenient places. With them, you can move,
delete, and alias files quickly and easily. Desktop Valet 3.0.1 is Apple
Event aware. The Folder button accesses Valet's home directory. Despite
these improvements, it is still very small and incredibly fast. Desktop Valet

Program: Disk-o-Matic 1.0
Author: Alessandro Levi Montalcini
Price: $10 (shareware)
Register: http://order.kagi.com/?67
Download: http://www.montalcini.com
Disk-o-Matic lets you automatically open an item when its disk
is inserted or mounted. Here are a few examples of what you can
do with it:
- automatically display text or picture clippings with specific
information about each of your removable disks.
- create multimedia CD-ROMs that automatically start up their
presentation when inserted.
- open the document you're working on as soon as its disk is
mounted.
- have your Mac play a different sound for each of your Zip
disks as soon as you slide one of them in the drive.
- automatically run an antivirus or repair utility from an
emergency disk.
- run a complex AppleScript or macro when a backup disk is
mounted.
After a disk has been configured, the Disk-o-Matic application
itself is no longer required to make the auto-launch feature
work. You can take the modified disk to any other Mac without
Disk-o-Matic and still have the chosen item automatically
launched, as long as QuickTime is properly installed and
configured (see below).
Disk-o-Matic takes advantage of a new QuickTime feature that
allows you to automatically launch a specified item as soon as a
disk is mounted. This feature is called "Enable CD-ROM AutoPlay"
and must be turned ON in the QuickTime control panel. Despite
its name, it actually works with all kinds of disks, not just
with CD-ROMs; you can set an auto-launching item for floppy
disks, Zip disks, disk images, and any other removable or fixed
disks except your startup disk. The startup disk can't use this
feature because it is mounted before QuickTime is loaded, but
then you can use the "Startup Items" folder instead.

ABSTRACT
Disk Recall
Disk Recall - is a super-fast disk and FTP cataloger. It creates
catalogs of any type of disk (floppies, hard drives, CD-ROMs,
Zips, Sy-Quests, AppleShare volumes, etc...). It features an
intuitive Finder-like list view for browsing disk contents, and a
powerful multi-criteria search engine modeled after Sherlock's
Find File. Disk Recall uses a very fast archiving algorithm to
scan disks 5 to 10 times faster than other Macintosh catalogers.
Disk Recall aslo archives FTP servers and catalogues Info-mac
abstracts as well. Disk Recall also lets you search for duplicate
files; delete files or folders; scan inside Stuffit files; open,
reveal and copy items in the Finder, and more. Registered users
also get the Disk Recall Extension which automatically scans disks
at eject time. Unlike with other (slower) catalogers, users barely
notice the extra delay when ejecting disks. Disk Recall is

create a catalog of every file on every one of your floppy disks, hard
drives, CD-ROMs, optical drives, servers, or whatever. Naturally,
DiskTracker can read into StuffIt and Compact Pro archives and
self-expanding applications.
After scanning your disks, you can then search the catalog at
unbelievable speeds with the powerful searching facility (including
multi-parameter and duplicate file searching). You can easily create
professional looking disk labels with the built in disk labeling
facility and label template designer.
Features include:
-View the contents of scanned volumes in a familiar easy-to-use
System-7-style file list. -Built in (fast!) virtual memory scheme
ensures that you won't run out of memory, even when scanning huge
volumes and CD-ROMs with only 600K of allocated RAM! -Intelligent disk
scanner can operate in the background and allows either scans of online
volumes and servers or floppy disks (insert disks one at a time to scan
them). -Launch files directly from the program, or have the finder
display them for you. -Fast, multi-parameter (use AND, OR, or XOR)
searches. Search on almost 20 different criteria! -Really powerful disk
labeling system allows completely automated disk label production. -Draw
your own label templates using the built in MacDraw(tm)-style template
editor, featuring powerful file-lists and rotatable text. -Fat binary
runs in native mode on PowerMacs or on 680x0 based machines. -Plus much,

Subject: [Disk Watcher 1.1] Automatically check disks for corruption
Description:
"Disk Watcher" fully automates Disk First Aid to check your disks for
corruption. Results are logged. What action to (automatically) take when a
disk problem is found is 100Pustomizable!
The idea is "damage prevention" - disk errors can go unnoticed, resulting in
even more errors until finally things go really wrong. Checking your disks on
a regular basis is just good "disk-keeping". Disk Watcher automates that for
you.
Use:
The Disk Watcher installer will put everything in place. It gives you the
option to have Disk Watcher launched on every startup, or just once per day
at startup. Alternatively you can have a cron launch it at whatever interval
you deem appropriate.
- Disk Watcher allows you to exempt disks from being checked based on the
kind of disk (locked, ejectable) and/or based on the disk's name.
- Disk Watcher allows you to have your own custom actions take place (which
can even overrule Disk Watcher's default action) when a disk problem is
found. Such an action might be to automatically launch another disk repair
utility, but may also be to launch your own home grown scripts... Powerful
stuff!
System Requirements:
- Works under Mac OS 7.5 through 9.x
- Disk First Aid 8.2 or higher
- AppleScript needs to be enabled
New:
- If the startup disk was busy and couldn't be checked, Disk First Aid was
quit instead of left running. Fixed.
- If Disk First Aiad encountered a diskproblem it cannot fix, Disk Watcher
would give up. Disk Watcher now correctly logs the error and continues.
- When upgrading, the installer could accidentally revert your Disk Watcher
settings to the default settings. Fixed.
- If you trash the preferencess file ("DW Config" in the "Disk Watcher
Preferences Folder") Disk Watcher will now install a fresh copy the next time
it runs.
- You can now define how often Disk Watcher will retry to check a busy disk.
- Placing the text of error messages on the clipboard is now optional and is
off by default. You should probably only switch it on if you are having
problems with Disk Watcher and want to send the author the error message you
are getting. Like all other options, this option can be switched on in Disk
Watcher's configuration file ("DW Config", in the Disk Watcher Preferences
folder). This option only works under Mac OS 8.5 and above.
- Made some improvements to upgrade process.
- Added a note about a conflict with "Control PPP" to the "known problems"
chapter.
Pricing and payment:
Disk Watcher costs $10,-
Payment is handled by Kagi.

Subject: DockDisks
DockDisks is a hack that causes disks to auto-mount in the Dock. This
can be handy if you want to put your dock on the right side of the
screen but want to avoid the conflict for space with the disk icons on
the desktop. It can also help avoid the problem of desktop icons
becoming covered up by open windows.
DockDisks is a hack, and as such it is obviously not perfect. The main
caveat is that the Dock is quit and relaunched when the list of disks is
refreshed, because the Dock has no API for adding/removing items, and
thus has to be relaunched to refresh its settings. However, DockDisks
does do its job, which is to put your disks in the dock.
Current features:
- Preference pane interface
- Can be set to automatically launch at login
- Automatically mounts disks when they are inserted
- Automatically unmounts disks when they are ejected
- Automatically ejects removable disks and servers when they are
dragged off of the dock
- Allows the user to choose whether to display fixed disks, removable
disks, servers, or any combination thereof in the dock.
- Allows the user to choose the area of the dock in which the disks
will appear

Subject: DragThing 5.1.1
DragThing is the original dock designed to tidy up your Macintosh desktop.
It makes files, folders, applications, disks, URLs, and even windows,
quickly and easily accessible, while taking up as little space on your
screen as possible.
DragThing's docks are highly configurable and you can have multiple docks,
each customised to suit your needs.
DragThing also allows you to define a huge variety of hot keys. These hot
keys can open items in docks, control various other aspects of DragThing and
even control the visibility of and switching between other applications
running on your Mac.
DragThing can also provide you with a Trash on your desktop, play sounds in
response to actions like ejecting a CD, and a lot more besides.
5.1.1 works round a reported problem with the recent McAfee Virex 7.5 beta
which could cause DragThing not to quit properly on shutdown, restart
or logout. It also adds new features including enhanced contextual menus and
AppleScript support, greatly improves saving and loading of docks and other
files, and is a lot faster to start up than 5.1.

DropUNIX 1.2
============
By: Ryan Davis, Zen Spider Software
http://tssnet1.tss.net/zss/
mailto://zss@tssnet1.tss.net
Why did I write DropUNIX?
-------------------------
Basically I was tired of writing support for some sort of user interface
for UNIX ports. What it really comes down to is I dislike both Symantec's
and MetroWerk's cconsole call. I thought, "Mac users don't DO paths... It
is even discouraged by Apple...". So I wrote this little library allowing
people to convert their ugly console app with no real interface to at LEAST
be drag & drop'able.
How do I use it?
----------------
Well, this is the nice part. So all you have to do is start a new
application project (or duplicate the examples project) add all your unix
files, the DropUNIX library, and the DropUNIX resources file. Don't forget
to make the creator '�UNX' (delta = option-d) or change the BNDL
information in the resources. Finally, include "Main.h" in the same file
that has your original main(...). It has a #define to convert your
main(...) to Main(...), so linkage is automatic once you compile...
Essentially, you never change your code!
Why should I use it?
--------------------
Simplicity for the first part. You don't have to do much of anything to get
it up. Second, to maintain Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. I hate, You
hate, we all hate icky GUI's! Last, but not least Productivity. By using
DropUNIX you have increased your productivity by giving the port a new
interface for free, and you have increased your users productivity by
giving them an interface they can use intuitively...
Changes
=======
Version 1.2 has been cleaned up quite a bit. It has been updated for CW8,
and includes a CW8 project file. It has been enhanced to compile clean
under Apple's Universal Headers 2.0+, and everything now compiles under C
or C++, with or without precompiled headers. In other words, if I can
compile it, you can compile it!

Subject: Dvorak Lefty keyboard layout
The Why
As a lefty, I found the Dvorak layout a little less useful in building
speed. So I created the Dvorak Lefty layout. I popped the keys on my
PowerBook 1400c and arranged them in a mirror image of the Dvorak layout,
provided by Dvorak International (thanks, guys). I then used ResEdit to
create the KCHR resource, remapping all the keys to the new layout
(including the option & shift-option characters).
I never learned to touch-type, but have managed to get around 40 wpm
staring at the keyboard. I have been able to catch up to that with less
finger strain with this layout.
The What
This is a horizontally flipped version of the ANSI Standard Dvorak layout.
The Dvorak Lefty layout is a simply KCHR resource created with
ResEdit. It is System 7 compatible and should create no problems or
conflicts with any software. This layout is FREE. Copy, distribute, and
post it as you please. I do ask that the layout, the KeyCaps screenshot,
and this Read Me file be distributed together. Also, this layout may not be
sold, except that a reasonable distribution fee may be requested when
necessary. Share and enjoy.

Long description:
EasyFind is an alternative to or supplement of Sherlock and finds

and therefore immediately. This is especially useful if you are tired
of slow or impossible indexing, outdated or corrupted indices or if you
are just looking for missing features like case sensitive or
insensitive search, boolean operators, wildcards or searching for
phrases. In addition, EasyFind uses multithreading and is therefore
very responsive even with multiple search processes running, provides
contextual menus and Mac OS X services and displays the location of
each item in a separate column for a better overview. Finally EasyFind
uses little memory, supports drag-and-drop and the clipboard and
optionally finds invisible items or items within packages.
History:
- New proximity operator ~ to match partial words/substrings too (by
default only complete words are accepted)
- Directory popup displays icons for each item
- "Select..." command moved to the top of the directory popup
- Shortcuts to "Destroy", "Move To Trash" and "Select..." commands added
- Input field has the focus right after opening windows or launching
the application
- Pressing Command-. cancels a running search too
- Closing the settings drawer automatically resizes/moves the window to
the previous frame if the window has been resized/moved while opening
the drawer
- Home/Begin/End function keys select the first/last result
- Files and files packages (e.g. on the desktop) aren't added to the

Subject: eclectic CDEF Collection 1.0
The eclectic CDEF Collection is a set of 2 freeware CDEFs (control
definition functions) written in Pascal, the Celsius CDEF and the Gauss
CDEF.
CDEF stands for "control definition function": it is a way to define the
appearance and the behavior of custom controls. Custom controls may be
dials, gauges, sliders, and so on. CDEFs may be used by almost every
Macintosh software and by practically every development environment and
programming language.
The Celsius CDEF implements a thermometer- or barber pole-style progress
bar similar to that used by the Finder in the Copy or Find windows.
Additional options allows you to honor custom colors stored in 'cctb'
resources, to draw the bar always in the active look ignoring
deactivations, and finally to display the bar with a 3D-like "inset"
effect, as shown in the develop 15 article "Working in the Third
Dimension".
The Gauss CDEF draws application-specified blocks of text. It can draw
simply the control's title, append a numeric value to it or draw a block
of text up to 32K set up by the calling application. Optionally the
Gauss CDEF can also honor 'cctb' resources, draw the text with the
owning windows' text font, size and style, and draw a 3D-like effect
(inset or raised).
The eclectic CDEF Collection consists of
- two CDEFs: the Celsius CDEF and the Gauss CDEF - two 'stubs' to allow
source-level debugging of the CDEFs: StubCDEF and JumpCDEF - some
utility routines - a demonstration application for the CDEFs

All Rights Reserved
What's it do?
------------
This small utility is used as an alternative way to eject removable volumes (ie. disks, cd, etc). It also has the Following Features:
*Can eject shared volumes, which would normally require you to shut off sharing to eject it.
*Great to use if you don't like to drag to the trash
*If an application or file on the volume is open when you eject the disk, it will keep the app, and/or file open and untouched until you go back to at which time it will ask for the disk again.
*Can remove disk images from the desktop
Future Features
--------------.
* The ability to rebuild the desktop of the disk next time it is inserted
* Automatically Quit/Close/Save open applications or files on the drive before it ejects
* Rebuild your hard drive's desktop
Known Bugs
------------
There are no know bugs at this time.
Registration Information
-------------
This program is shareware. The shareware fee is $5. Please help us pay our expenses. If you register we will send you the upgrade to later versions free and before everyone else. I know that doesn't sound like much, but we don't believe in serial numbers, and stuff to force people to pay. A Site License is also available and costs $50 (roughly equal to 10 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 160 kilometer radius of your site (100 miles). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software. A World-Wide License costs $1000 and it covers all locations for your organization on the planet earth.
How to Register
-------------
Paying for Ejecter is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies Ejecter. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-QGT
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical. If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end. Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed. Payments send via postal mai l take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
CD-ROM and Web Site info
------------------
You may include this on a CD-Rom however, we get a free copy of the CD-Rom. You must notify us before you make the CD-Rom, in case of Newer Version, and you must send us the $5 registration fee or have already registered.
You may put this product on your Web Site as long as this file is included with the program, you notify us prior, and you don't link to our copy on the web. Use some of your own space.

Howdy folks!
Enclosed is the latest and greatest version of my Eudora Plug-in (v1.0.7)
which adds the following panels to your Eudora Settings (from the Read-Me):
Color/Desktop: Let's you change some of the colors that Eudora uses and how
much of the Desktop you see.
X-Headers: Let's you add your own X-Headers (it's fun. Trust me!).
Misc. Settings: Changes the Send button text, default text strings and the size
that files are split at. You can also change the (Recipient List Suppressed) to
whatever you want.....
Stationery/Text: Change the stationery file name and tweak how text appears, as
well as editing stuff for forwards.

before Eudora barfs on you, what port you use or the protocols that you're
using.

Subject: Eudora IC Helper v1.0
Eudora IC Helper (and DropStrip-urlM)
version 1.0, by Paul Goracke
What it does
------------
With the release of v3.0 of Eudora (Light and Pro), QUALCOMM added a nice
URL-launching feature. But it doesn't work well with Internet Config, a
program I find very useful. Instead, they use internal aliases, which is
fine as long as you only access your Eudora settings on one computer. If
you use it on multiple computers, such as in a lab environment, you will
need to find the appropriate helper the first time you click a URL on a
different machine.
That's where Eudora IC Helper comes in-it's a small standalone app which
creates a Eudora plug-in containing resources which reflect your helper app
choices in Internet Config. It does not modify the Eudora application, and
it does not patch any traps. It's quite transparent, and makes an excellent
Startup Item.
It's not fancy, and doesn't have much in the way of a pretty user
interface, but my goal was to have it small, functional, and as invisible
to my lab users as possible.
Requirements
------------
The enclosed applications require System 7.0 or higher. They are 68k-only,
so they should run on any and all currently existing Macintosh that meets
the system requirement.
If you don't have Eudora 3.0 or higher and/or Internet Config, the programs
will certainly run, but they won't be of much use.

File Adopter uses your Internet Config preferences to add type and

OS X, and are a source of numerous frustrations. File Adopter works with
simple drag and drop. It can replace existing type and creator codes if
they disagree with Internet Config, or only add codes when they are
absent. After adopting a file, it shows you the changes it has made. You
can also hold down Shift to orphan a file, instead of adopting it. This
is useful if you know that the file has incorrect codes but that the

FindText 1.3.6
FindText is a utility that can search the files on your harddisk for that
specific text you know is hiding somewhere. Simply type in the text, tell
it what folder(s) or disk(s) to search, and it will find all files
containing that text.
FindText it very useful as an adjunct to Sherlock under MacOS 8.5 which
only indexes the data fork of files. It is also one of the few tools that
can search the files of popular utilities (that put their data in the
resource fork) like eDOC, ScrapIt Pro and NotePad deluxe!
Although FindText is fast, it is not as fast as Apple's Sherlock but
Sherlock works only after a time and space consuming indexing of your
harddisk.
So, if you don't loose track of your files on an hourly basis, you will
prefer FindText.
FindText can search the data- and/or resource-fork of your files.
FindText needs System 7 or better and runs native both on the PowerMac,
iMac and the 68020/030/040 Macs. FindText is fully compatible with Mac OS 8.
Every user of FindText is advised to update to version 1.3.6.

Forest - Environment sound simulator for relaxation
Forest will play relaxing nature sounds, as if you were walking in a forest.
Launch Forest, listen, and relax! Working on your computer can sometimes be
very stressful; with Forest, not anymore.
Forest is packed with 6 worlds: Country World, Forest World, Garden World,
Night World, Storm World and the very popular Storm World II. We probably
don't have to explain you what sounds the worlds will play. Forest can also
play Relax environments.
Some people might tell us that looping the same world over and over is
boring, if not annoying. That is why Forest features a playlist, allowing
you to vary the worlds. You can even choose how long the worlds must play!
No, it's not over yet. If you don't want Forest to continually play
something, you can ask Forest to play random nature sounds. From time to
time, you'll hear a lovely bird or a cricket. Of course, you can choose the
time Forest must wait beetween each random sounds. And what's more, you can
even ask Forest to play night sounds such as owls after 9PM!
Forest features an extremely cool interface. Drag and drop the worlds on
Forest or even on Forest's window to play them! Forest will display the info
window (what world is being played, the author and a different background
graphic for each world) only if it is the frontmost app. You don't have to
close anything, everything is automatic! Do you want to create yourself a
cool world? No problem! Forest features a very easy-to-use World Builder;
you don't have to master ResEdit. [Available only for registered users.]
Forest can also read MP3, AIFF & QuickTime files to loop them forever! That
is why we can call Forest a mini-player, since it can change the sound's
treble, bass & balance to enhance your listening pleasure.

What is FuzzyFind for MacOS?
How was the file named I saved a year ago?
FuzzyFind for MacOS is a tool similar to Apples Find File placed in the
Apple Menu.
The advantage of FuzzyFind is, that it will find files which are named
not exactly as defined in the search string. It will ignore writing
mistakes and find all similar names.
For example if you search for "Account Meier", FuzzyFind will find all
documents which are named with "Account Mayer", "Account Meyer etc. Also
writing mistakes like "Acount" or "Accuont" will not influence the
search result.
FuzzyFind should not replace Find File from Apple. It is an extra tool
for very difficult search processes, where time is not so essential than
finding the right information.

Subject: Gatekeeper 1.3 (yes, two in as many days)
--========================_36297202==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
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.]

protection options for files (such as invisibility and type-protecting) and
three for folders. You can mix and match any or all of the options to
customize the protection to the level you need.
New in Ghost 3.5 is the Favorites window that allows you to save
commonly-used files and folders so that they can be protected or restored at
the click of a button. Ghost 3.5 also incorporates several favorites
automation features such as the ability to restore all favorites on launch
and protect all favorites on quit, saving you time and effort.
The Ghost application can be password-protected so only you have access to
your important protected documents. If you are running Mac OS 9 or later,
you can have Ghost take advantage of they keychain's password management as
well. You can use the Ghost 3.5 application to protect and restore files or
folders based on your set protection options, or you can custom-protect a
file or folder at any time without having to change your settings.

Those folks from Graphic Simulations can sure program a flight simulator,

stupid spelling errors (like "acheived", in one dialog box that successful

This annoys me. If it doesn't annoy you, read no further and trash this.
If it annoys you too, use ResEdit to paste these corrected STR# resources
into their respective applications (Hellcats and LeyteGulf). All I did
was use ResEdit on the original STR# resources and edit their text to
correct spellings, capitalize Hellcat, etc. You could use this same
technique to customize Hellcats messages (e.g. "You really bit the
big one there, ace.").
Graphic Simulations or anyone else is welcome to take these STR# resources
and create a more user-friendly patching application.
[Usual warning: ResEdit can be a dangerous toy, make backup copies first]
Surely this doesn't violate Graphic Simulation's copyright since the

Please, feel free to distribute this version of HexEdit as you please, I'd
just ask for
appropriate credit. I happen to use this program quite a bit, so if you
make any changes
please let me know, and I will try to get them into a new version.
Thanks to Jim for releasing such a fine program, and even more so for the

Subject: Holiday Lights 5.0
Holiday Lights decorates your Macintosh for the holidays.
It's an entertaining application that places flashing light bulbs around
the edge of your screen, as though a (well-insulated) elf crawled into
your computer through the disk drive slot and stapled them there. The
lights flash in the background while you continue to work, so it's not
just a screen saver.
The "bulbs" include standard Christmas tree lights, Valentine's Day
hearts, Thanksgiving turkeys, chili peppers, shamrocks, dreidels,
stockings, holly, snowmen, happy faces, and more -- and you can create
your own bulbs using ResEdit or a similar program.
For even more seasonal joy, Holiday Lights includes cheery background
music (you can add your own MIDI files) as well as built-in festive
screen savers to put you in the holiday spirit.
Holiday Lights is an application, not a system extension, so it won't
cause extension conflicts. It is compatible with System 7.1 or later,
including Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9.
Version 5.0 adds the ability to display bulbs above all other windows and
improves the appearance of the screen saver, adding background pictures
and text messages.
Shareware, $19.95.

Subject: HotlineHelper 1.6.4
HotlineHelper is a shareware application that adds several new cool
features to Hotline Server (68k or PPC) by Hotline Software, Inc or any
other file transfer server software. These features enable remote users
to:
-search files on your server by name or finder comment
-quickly find the most recent uploads
-download a text index file of your server.
Furthermore HotlineHelpers does these things automatically:
-erase/clean comments of your files
-empty the trash.
HotlineHelper does not communicate with Hotline Server. It's therefore
possible to use it with file transfer software different from Hotline
(like Stairways Software NetPresenz FTP Server). However, HotlineHelper
has been designed with Hotline Server in mind. Some features might seem
useless or will not work at all if you use another file transfer server.
New in version 1.6.4
- checkbox for disabling auto-activation of HotlineServer
New in version 1.6.3
- if opened, Hotline Server is made the front process after 5 mins of
inactivty so it gets more processing power
- HotlineHelper 1.6.3 takes much less CPU time, especially when in
background
- support for online registration
Bug fixes
- Recent uploads will not longer create aliases of files with bad
modicifaction dates (e.g. 10.10.2011)

Subject: HSharableResource 1.2 and HSharablePicture 1.2 - PowerPlant Cla
HSharableResource is a Metrowerks PowerPlant inherited class that
implements simple garbage collection for MacOS Resources. Using
LSharable and TSharablePtr, the concept of reference counting makes this
all possible. HSharableResource strives for minimal reliance upon
PowerPlant and could possibly be used in non-PowerPlant contexts.
HSharablePicture is a variant upon PowerPlant's LPicture class. It
utilizes HSharableResource to manage the 'PICT' resource so it can clean
up after itself.
The distribution contains the HSharableResource source, the
HSharablePicture source, a CTYP file for HSharablePicture, and a small
demonstration application. The files in the archive were created with
CodeWarrior Professional 1.

Hsoi's App Shell was a big learning tool for me to learn how to
write MacOS applications in C using Metrowerks CodeWarrior. I
felt that it might be of use to other people, so I wanted to have
it publicly available to the MacOS development community.
So, what can Hsoi's App Shell do or show you how to do?
- How to use WASTE, Marco Piovanelli's WorldScript Aware
Styled Text Engine as a replacement text engine for TextEdit
- How to use the WASTE Object Handlers
- How to use Gestalt to properly check for system capabilities
- How to use UniversalProcPtr's (both usage and how to create
your own!)
- How to have code that works on both 68k and PPC based Macintoshes
- How to read from and write to files
- How to use CustomGet/PutFile routines with your own custom
dialog filters
- How to use Aliases and take advantage of the Alias Manager
- How to Save, Save As, and Revert files
- How to properly deal with locked files
- How to take advantage of temporary files and FSpExchangeFiles
for safe saving techniques
- How to use nifty functions like FindFolder
- How to properly work with resources and the Resource Manager
- How to add name strings to help orphaned document files
- How to do submenus
- How to do dynamic menus (menus created at runtime, like a
Windows menu)
...and lots more
Hope it's useful to you!!

Subject: HStringList 1.1 - A PowerPlant Class
HStringList a Metrowerks PowerPlant class that implements an object for
creation, management, and manipulation of string lists. It is primarily
oriented towards 'STR#' resources, but the class can be easily modified
to suit any similar such need.
HStringList can handle the read/write of the resource, management of it,
use of Pascal-style or C-style strings. It strives to offer a lot of
functionality and flexibility. One could easily extend the class's
functionality to suit just about any string-list management needs.
Due to developments in PowerPlant, HStringList requires at least
PowerPlant v1.8 (part of CodeWarrior Professional 2). There is a simple
demo application included in the archive to demonstrate how the class
can work.

Subject: HyperCard Dummy 1.2.1
Dummy�s sole purpose in life is to keep HyperCard running. HyperCard has
a bad habit of requiring at least one stack open at all times when it is
running, making it necessary to switch to some other stack before you
close the one you are working with. So if you are working on a stack,
say HyperWorldPeace, and you want to use ResEdit to add a sound to it,
and you don't want to bother quiting HyperCard, and restarting it, just
leave Dummy open, and you don�t have to.
Dummy�s second sole purpose in life complements the first one: Dummy can
automagically close as many stacks as you can open, and do it many times
faster than you could do manually.

Index & Shutdown
$10 Shareware
What Does It Do?
Index & Shutdown tells Sherlock to Index your hard drives and then shut
down. You can run it at the end of each day when you are ready to shut down.
Your drive(s) need to be indexed periodically for Sherlock's "Find by
Content" to work properly.
Before you can search the contents of a disk's files, you must create an
index of the disk. If you have modified files on the disk since it was last
indexed and you want to search the modified content, you need to update the
index.
The only way to be sure that find by content will always work is to index
your drives each day. You could set up a schedule in Sherlock to index the
drives each day at a specified time but that slows down your system while
you are trying to use it. Index & Shutdown avoids that problem by indexing
your drives during shutdown.
Features
Tells Sherlock to index the drives you have specified and when all indexing
is done tells your Mac to shut down.
* First quits all running applications and prompts you if documents need to
be saved.
* Puts away all non-local drives (servers).
* Disconnects all users (with your permission) if file sharing is on .
* Empties contents of Ram Disk and trash with your permission.
What You Need?

30-day Trial
Index & Shutdown is $10.00 shareware. You can use this software for 30 days

any button just ends the script. "Eject 'Em" ejects all ejectable disks.
Repeats every minute. "Finder Finder" makes a copy of the Finder, putting
it on the desktop. "Finder Windows" sets all open Finder windows to
identical small coordinates at the upper left corner of the screen. Repeats

application. Repeats every minute. "Go Home Early" shuts down the Mac. It
expires after three runs "Move It" moves a random item from the Finder's

naming it "Mystery Folder." "Open Up" opens the window of every folder at
the top level of the startup disk. Repeats every minute. "Open Trash"

Here is Jon's Commands 2.1. I have also placed it up on my web site.
Jon's Commands is one of the premier scripting additions available to
improve your use of AppleScript.
http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/
The specific changes since 2.0.5 are:
* Added individual 'osiz' resources, allowing some commands like "the
ticks" to increase in speed by not opening the Jon's Commands resource
file.
* Removed obsolete "finder selection" command since it crashes and
everyone's running the scriptable Finder these days.
* Added "large range" parameter to "sound volume" and "set volume to"
commands.
* Made "walk folders" create a list of aliases and then process it. Files
can now be renamed or deleted without interfering with the indexing. Also
added "invisibles" parameter.
* Added "FileIsBusy" command.
* Eliminated crash in "deleteFile" command when unlocking and without
safety net.
* Gave "screen list" and "set monitors to" a larger number of possible
screen resolutions, up from 32 to 64.
* Made "copyFile" return references to files copied.
* Fixed alias path bug in "alias information" command.
* Fixed multiple monitor resolution index bug in "screen list".
Enjoy!

Jrju v0.9 (The Spider) Tool for Self-Organizing Hypertext
Jrju (Chinese for spider) is a Perl program that weaves hypertext
"notebooks" from plain text files. An author creates notebook pages using
the JTX markup format. Jrju will process a directory of JTX files into a
cross-linked collection of HTML pages. Jrju rebuilds the entire notebook
each time so there are no broken links or orphan pages.
Summary of Features
Uses plain text files (no HTML markup!)
Automatic creation of hierarchical indexes
Automatic linking of cross-references
Automatic linking of inverse references
Automatic placement of graphics
Automatic linking of external resources (URLs)
Automatic linking of email addresses
Support for modest HTML formatting (paragraphs, lists)
Available without cost for non-commercial use
Files Included in this Package
extras folder ...... contains help and graphic files
jrju folder ........ the user's manual
Jrju App ........... the application (includes MacPerl runtime)
Jrju Droplet ....... the "droplet" for use with MacPerl
Jrju09.pl .......... the Perl script in plain text
readme.html ........ more information and links
title.ttx .......... title file template
Installation
First you must edit the OS variable to match your system:
$os = 'Mac'; # Mac, DOS, or Unix
Next install Perl, or use the runtime application (Mac only).
If you are using a Macintosh, save Jrju as a MacPerl "droplet". To use the
program simply drag and drop notebook directories containing JTX files on
this icon.
If you are using Unix, save Jrju as an executable script. You will need to
modify the first #! line to match your system and set the file to
"executable." To use the program, type at the command line:
jrju book1 book2 etc.
If you are using DOS/Windows, save jrju as a text (.pl) file. To use the
program, type at the command line:
perl jrju.pl book1 book2 etc.
Where book1 and book2 are directories containing JTX files.
Jrju is currently under development - use it with caution. This software is
provided "as is" with no promise of support or guarantee of suitability.
Please send bug reports, questions, or comments to rrathe@ufl.edu.
Quick Start Directions
1. Create a new directory/folder.
2. Copy the "extras" folder into it.
3. Copy the title.ttx file and modify it as needed.
4. Create a few ".jtx" files.
- Plain (ASCII) text
- File title on first line
- Blank line between paragraphs
5. Invoke Jrju by dragging the directory on top of the application (Mac)
or starting the program from the command line as described above.
6. Open "index.html" with your browser.
7. Repeat steps #4 through #6 as you revise your content.

What the Critics Say About KeyQuencer
-------------------------------------
"Four Mice" -MacUser, January 97
"KeyQuencer offers a lean, mean, inexpensive alternative to CE Software's
QuicKeys, automating your Mac with less memory and for fewer dollars."
-Macworld, September 97
"KeyQuencer feels lean, mean and clean; we doubt anyone would use those
words about QuicKeys." -MacWeek, May 19, 1997
"Binary Software's KeyQuencer is probably the most powerful and flexible
macro program on the market." -Macintosh Daily Journal, April 97
Why KeyQuencer Is Better than the Competition
----------------------------------------------
KeyQuencer is the fastest. KeyQuencer macros execute much faster than any
other macro utility.
KeyQuencer is the most powerful. Over 70 built-in commands let you do
anything!
KeyQuencer is the most reliable. KeyQuencer never, ever, ever crashes.

Subject: Macro/Automation Utility: TriVectus Launch Key 4.0
[This submission should replace /gui/launch-key-30.hqx.]
What is Launch Key?
-------------------
Launch Key is an automation utility that lets your Mac automatically
do almost anything. You can configure it to perform tasks at the
touch of a key (no matter what program you're in), at regular
intervals (every Wednesday at noon), at a specific time (Feb. 11 at
11:30), or after a period of inactivity (similar to a screen saver).
Launch Key is based around Actions. Actions perform a single task,
for example, bringing the Finder to the front. A number of Actions
are bundled, including ones to select menu items in any application,
launch or open any Finder object, post messages, type blocks of text,
play sounds, open URLs, send Apple events, quit all applications,
switch the front-most application, lock all the your keychains, shut
down your Mac, put it to sleep, and more. Actions are grouped
together into collections called Sets that can be as complex as you
wish. Some examples of tasks you might have Launch Key perform are:
* Automatically initiate a system back-up at midnight of each day.
* Archive important mail messages as you read them.
* Launch all of your Internet applications at the touch of a key.
* Quit all of your Internet applications at the touch of another key.
* Open all the documents, folders, and applications associated with
a project, with one key press.
* Type out a standard e-mail reply in just seconds at the touch of a key.
* Quickly mount a couple of network volumes, and copy a set of
documents to each of them.
* Quickly and accurately type your e-mail address or web site URL
into any program with a keystroke.
* Remind you of an important upcoming event.
* Perform a general clean-up before shutting down-e.g., emptying the
trash and putting away documents.
* Let multiple users restore their workspace states, including open
applications, windows, etc.
* Launch an application-based screen saver or security program (like
SuperLock Lite) after a period of inactivity.
* And much, much more... the possibilities are endless!
As in previous versions, Launch Key 4.0 doesn't use any extensions or
control panels, ensuring maximum compatibility with other software,
and allowing you to enable or disable Launch Key on-the-fly without
restarting.
Requirements
------------
Launch Key 4.0 will run on any PowerPC-based Macintosh (including the
iMac and iBook) that has Mac OS 8.0 or higher installed. If Mac OS
8.5 or higher is installed, Launch Key will take advantage of
Navigation Services. Launch Key is fully compatible with Mac OS 9.
What's new in 4.0
-----------------
Launch Key 4.0 is a major update to version 3.0. Among its new features are:
* Multithreaded FBA! Launch Key is now multithreaded, so multiple
sets can run at the same time.
* Launch Key now defines actions via plugins. That means that more
plugins will become available in the future, expanding Launch Key's
capabilities.
* Timed activations: Launch Key can now launch sets at specific
times. This can be daily, weekly, or a specific time in the future.
* Inactivity activations: Launch Key can now launch sets after a
specified time of inactivity.
* New view options: With the show menu, you can view all sets, global
sets, or those specific to a particular application.
* Several more actions: Automatic Menu Selection, Notification alerts and more!

This patch can be used to hack Apple's Location Manager v1.0.2 (included

on previous or future versions.
It works by removing the 'lner' resources from the Location Manager's
Control Panel, Extension, and Control Strip Module. These resources
regulate the software to run only on certain machines.
To use, simply run a normal installation of Apple's Location Manager. After
restarting with extensions off, run this patch and follow the dialog boxes
to apply the hack. Restart again. That's it!
Use of this patcher is completely at your own risk. I accept no
responsibility for what may result from using this patch or running the
Location Manager on machines it was not designed for. I'm fairly certain

Subject: MacEncrypt 2.0
MacEncrypt 2.0 is a major upgrade to MacEncrypt 1.01, the drag and drop
encryption program for the Macintosh.
MacEncrypt will allow you to encrypt files using the "Data Encryption
Standard." Encrypted files can only be used if you know the password.
Groups of files can also be encrypted into an encrypted archive.
MacEncrypt can be placed on the desktop next to the trash can and files can
simply be dropped on top of it to be encrypted.
Features added with this release include:
o A single executable that runs on all Macs. Color will be used on color Macs.
o Archives. Multiple files can be archived in a single archive file with a
single password.
o Reusable passwords. Multiple files can be encrypted or decrypted with a
single password. Previous versions required that you retype the password for
each file.
o File shredding. Files encrypted with previous versions of MacEncrypt were
susceptible to viewing with low-level disk editing programs if the encrypted
files were kept on the same disk. "Extra Security" is now an option. This
feature will overwrite the place on disk where the encrypted file used to be
so that it will never be readable by anything.
o Archived items can be left or deleted after archiving.
MacEncrypt is shareware. The shareware fee is $10.00. The program
continues to be supported, developed and improved. Registered users are
informed of free upgrades. Site licenses are also available.

Subject: MacOS Permissions Lister 1.01
Permissions Lister 1.01 - a simple script that will save a list of the File
Sharing permissions of folders on a remote volume. This is handy for
re-creating AppleShare IP permissions on a UNIX based server (MacOS X,
Linux, etc.) Aliases that are found are listed in a seperate file, so you
may change them to symlinks if you wish.
This generates a text file (Mac formatted) that you can use to examine the
permissions on a Mac volume. As the finder on an AppleShare IP server does
not control file sharing, this can only be used by running it on a client
computer that has a network volume mounted.
the resulting file will be in the format:
#### owner group pathname
The path name is in MacOS format (using ":"). I used this file to create a
shell script to run on MacOS X that will change the permissions of the
20,000+ folders that was transferring from a ASIP server. Users or groups
that contain spaces may make the file confusing to a later script.

When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Wouldn't it be nice if there

editing into nicely layed out markup? Well now there is! Dave Raggett's
HTML TIDY is a free utility for doing just that. It also works great on the
atrociously hard to read markup generated by specialized HTML editors and
conversion tools, and can help you identify where you need to pay further
attention on making your pages more accessible to people with disabilities.
Tidy is able to fix up a wide range of problems and to bring to your
attention things that you need to work on yourself. Each item found is
listed with the line number and column so that you can see where the
problem lies in your markup. Tidy won't generate a cleaned up version when
there are problems that it can't be sure of how to handle. These are logged
as "errors" rather than "warnings".
MacTidy is a standalone application for Mac OS designed to check and
correct HTML and XML source. It is based on the freely available "tidy"
program by Dave Raggett (), but has a graphical user
interface (GUI).

Subject: Mac to Mac SLIP scripts
This is something I hacked up for a friend, who wanted to do CU-SEE ME over
a plain telephone connection. That is, not having to connect to an internet
provider, and definitely NOT using Apple Remote access, which would mean
loading lots of resources, and taking extra useful RAM. (Which could be
useful for running CU-SEE ME, or any other TCP/IP application). My friend
had no idea about scripting, and I did, so I found a great solution.
What this will do for you, is establish an authentic TCP/IP connection
betwwen 2 macs, using a regular telephone connection, so that you can use
all your typical TCP/IP software. I can't think of anything REALLY cool to
do with this, except for CU-SEE ME. This will only work at acceptable
speeds using a 28.8 bps modem.
I have heard lots of people wanting a macintosh SLIP host. This will almost
do that for you but obviously only 1 connection at a time will be accepted.
I have no relation to Hyde Park Software. In fact, I don't even use MacSLIP.
It seems to be that something like this cannot be done with InterSLIP due
to it's lack of scripting facilities. If you think it can be done, e-mail
me.
I am the author of these scripts and I think they are pretty ingenious.
All I ask if you use them, is to e-mail me and tell me if you liked them,
or even send me a postcard (yeah, I have one already, but keep them
coming!) Also, tell me if you find any other uses for it, apart from
videoconferencing.
Feel free to distribute these scripts, but include the READ ME file. Do not
distibute modified versions. I want to get feedback on bugs and problems,
and keep an updated version on the archives.
Do NOT include on CD ROMS without my consent.

Subject: MacUpdate 4.0b7 File Synchronization/Backup
MacUpdate is a general-purpose file synchronization utility
that is simple enough to be used for every-day backups, yet
is flexible and powerful enough for specialized backup needs.
Changes to this updated version include a progress bar
display while synchronizing, deferral of error reporting
until after the synchronization process is complete, the
ability to replace newer files in a destination folder with
the corresponding older files from a source, the ability to
deal with locked loners that need to be deleted, and a few
minor bug fixes.
MacUpdate can be configured to create items on the backup
disk that are new on the original disk. Similarly, MacUpdate
can be set up to delete items from the backup disk that were
deleted from the original disk.
MacUpdate works with Zip, SyQuest, floppy disks, hard disks,
and AppleTalk networks. Pretty much any Hierarchical Filing
System (HFS) disk. MacUpdate requires System 7, and a 68020
or better, or Power PC processor. MacUdpate is a Fat binary.
MacUpdate can also do graphical comparisons of the contents
of two folders -- similar to a Finder list view. You can
visually "Preview" what will be updated before actually
performing a synchronization.
MacUpdate fully supports drag-and-drop from the Finder.
MacUpdate includes automation tools and good documentation.

Subject: Make a Eudora E-mail disk 1.0 (AS)
This is an AppleScript which automates the process of putting the Eudora
settings on a disk. For those who aren't already aware, this is a way that
multiple users can use a single application without reconfiguring the
settings and without compromising privacy. Is Eudora wonderful or what!?
You could just copy the settings folder to a disk, except that this script
also prompts users for their e-mail address and real name, filling in the
blanks for them, so that they never have to get into the settings dialog.
It also uses a settings file that has been renamed to something more
obvious. It was designed to make life easier for lab administrators who
have multiple e-mail users using their machines.
It includes the following features:
Will not allow saving the settings on the hard drive
Checks e-mail address for illegal characters
Administrators only need to know how to configure Eudora. No AppleScript
knowledge is required
Renamed Settings file for ease of use
Simple Read Me for users
It requires:
Scriptable Finder -- comes with System 7.5
Eudora 1.5.x
Stuffit Expander 3.5 or higher
Contents of the archive:

The conversion can be done in place, to a new window or the converted

will act on the selection, otherwise it will process the whole window.
This archive contains two extensions:
* MIDex 1.2.2 simplifies the selection of other tables via
a popup menu. Additional tables can be added with ResEdit.
Version 1.2.2 doesn't interpret metacharacters in menu text.
* MIDex 1.3.2 is the "tool version" and therefore requires at
least version 3.5.2 of BBEdit. This tool also supports
additional tables.
Version 1.3.2 doesn't interpret metacharacters in menu text.
MIDex is freeware.

Subject: Mt. Everything 1.5.0a4
Mt. Everything is a control panel allowing you to manage your SCSI
devices and mount Macintosh volumes from any SCSI disk. Additionally
it lets you gather information about all partitions located on a given
SCSI drive and lets you inspect the content of a drive without
having to mount a volume from it.
Mt. Everything 1.5 adds full support for mutliple SCSI buses, including
SCSI buses added by third party expansion cards to your computer. It supports
Ultra/Wide SCSI buses.
Mt. Everything 1.5.0a4 still is an alpha release. It represents work in
progress
and is neither feature complete nor carefully tested. It is intended to supply
a timely fix for broken features in Mt. Everything 1.5.0a3.
What is new in 1.5.0a4?
- Most important, a bug introduced 1.5.0a3, that would cause Mt. Everything
not to mount
volumes from SCSI-disks that weren't powered on a boot time, has been fixed.
- Another somewhat weird and rare problem has been fixed. See the README
for details.
- A very preliminary version of Mt. Everything's hotkey is back in this
release.
Since Mt. Everything 1.5.0a3 failed to mount volumes under certain
conditions, some of
the new features in alpha 3 were inaccessible for most people. Thus I have
left part
of the alpha 3 feature list in here, since most of it applies (finally) to
this release.
What was new in 1.5.0a3?
- Experimental support for mounting volumes which are marked not to
"Auto-Mount" in their
setup-program. This new feature currently works only for drives which have
been prepared
with Apple's "Drive Setup" program.
- Experimental support for SCSI-2 compliant optical storage devices like MO
drives added.
Mt. Everything will treat them the same as a normal hard disk and should be
able
to mount volumes from such drives if the drive (or better its medium) has
been prepared
to be used by Mac OS computers.
- Mt. Everything now should mount PowerBooks 1400 running in disk mode
like it does with other PowerBook models.

Subject: Netscape 2 Friendlier eg Close does Back
This Resource file contains replacements for certain of the Menu resources
of Netscape 2, to make its behavior friendlier (more consistent with other
Mac contexts).
The changes are:
Added Cmd-S to the Save or Save As in several places
Added Cmd-R to the "Mark all Items Read in this NewsGroup"
and the important one:
Disabled Cmd-W so it won't close your last Browser window, and changed
Cmd-W to do "Back".
This makes the Netscape window behavior more consistent with the usual use
of windows in the Mac, namely:
In most Mac environments, you open an item and create a window by Cmd-O or
double-clicking, to any depth, and you back out of the nest of windows by
using Cmd-W.
But in Netscape, you single-click to open (double usually does no harm),
but have to use Back to back out of the nest. If you forget you are in
Netscape instead of some other editor or finder context, and hit Cmd-W by
habit, you close your Browser window and with it all the history of where
you have been.
I did this a lot, and found it extremely annoying. Contexts that feel
similar ought to act similarly on the Mac--I shouldn't have to add a new
habit to consciously check my context every time I want to close a window
to unnest a level!
To install, you need ResEdit. Open "Netscape 2 Friendlier" in ResEdit,
select the Menu resource, Cmd-C to copy it to the clipboard, open Netscape
2, Cmd-V to paste. When asked, tell Netscape to replace resources with the
same IDs, Cmd-S to save, quit.
This updates only the half dozen menus in Netscape that have changes in
their Cmd keys.
The same changes have worked through a few 2 beta versions, and are likely
to work for a few future releases, but there can be no guarantee of that.
At least it seems unlikely to cause a crash, and you can always back up to
a fresh version by using the Netscape installer.

Subject: Netscape FTP Switcher 1.0.1
It lets Netscape use Anarchie or Fetch as the default FTP client. In other
words: When you click on URLs that begin with ftp://, Netscape sends the
request to Anarchie or Fetch, instead of trying to do the job itself.
Anarchie and Fetch tend to be a *lot* more stable than Netscape in handling
such jobs.
How does it work?
It sends an AppleScript command to Netscape, which changes its internal
configuration. This patch is squeaky clean - it's nothing like a ResEdit
hack.
What do I need?
* AppleScript installed at the time you run the script.
Note: You can remove AppleScript afterwards if you don't use it.
* Netscape (hello?)
* Anarchie or Fetch
How much does this cost me?
Hello? I didn't invent this feature in Netscape. I simply wrote a
five-minute script which acts as a front end. Send me some nice email if
you like. Or some bug fixes for PageMill 1.0, which really disappointed me.

I got frustrated at Netscape's inability to delete items from its helper

To install: use ResEdit to copy these TMPL resources into your Netscape

To use: To edit the helper applications list, open the MIME resources in the
Netscape Preferences file with ResEdit. The SMIM resources in the Netscape
Preferences file are used for the telnet, tn3270, and "View source..."
applications. Note that the name of each MIME resource must match the "MIME

Subject: netscape-rainbow-circle-22.hqx [UPDATE]
* Changes since last version (2.1): cleaned up the icons for Netscape 1.1.
* Changes from version 2.0 to 2.1: automatic patcher for Netscape 1.1
has been included; now works with 1.0 and 1.1.
These files contain a series of color icons to replace the "throbbing N"
in Netscape 1.0, or the shooting stars in Netscape 1.1. Instead, you get
a rainbow-colored circle that spins around. (The "rainbow-colored circle"
is, in fact, a miniature Apple Color Picker.) You won't need ResEdit or
anything; just follow the instructions. E-mail-ware.

is replaces the boring Netscape "N" animation with a rolling can of
Spam. (Sorry, but it's an empty can.)
This has been tested on versions 1.12, 2.0, and 2.0 beta Java of

Subject: Submission of Netscape spash screen patcher
As soon as I learned of the release of Netscape 1.1b, I ftp'd a copy
and tried it out. Excellent though the application is, the startup
splash picture is conspicuous by its dreadfulness (especially on a
monitor displaying 16 or 24 bit color). I suppose that Netscape
Communications Corp may well replace it in the final release, but I
decided to beat them to it and after 15 minutes with Resedit and
Photoshop I came up with a version more aesthetically pleasing. I
used Michael HechtUs ResCompare to simplify the upgrade process for
others and named it "Netscape splash-screen patch".
The patch is, of course, completely freeware and I hope I'm not
stepping on any Netscape toes in releasing it to the Mac community.
If anybody wants to send me email with comments on my effort, they
would be more than welcome.

NetSnagger is a free Internet application that works with Internet Config to simplify two internet related tasks:
1. Retrieving files from archive digests (like the Info-Mac
digest published in the comp.sys.mac.digest newsgroup).
These documents are called "Draggers".
2. Creating double clickable desktop URLs which will utilize
Internet Config to launch the requested URL.
NetSnagger has been tested with System 7.5. I should, in theory, also work
with System 7.1 or later with the Drag Manager Extension. It requires
Internet Config 1.1, and works best with the Anarchie ftp program by Peter Lewis.
Features:
* InternetConfig support
* Drag Manager Support
* Automatic URL Concatenation
* Double Clickable desktop URLs
* Single drop URL saving
* No extensions or trap patching
The 1.1b4 release includes the following changes since 1.1b3:
Released 30-Jul-1996
1. Again tried to make selection deactivation/activation
work properly.
2. Fixed memory trashing problem when using "Preferences" window.
3. Updated snail mail address in documentation file.
4. Added "greying" of NetSnagger document windows, this
color can be customized by editing the 'wctb' resource with
a resource editor like "ResEdit".
5. Updated description of file format to mention
"URL" save preference.
6. Fixed crash on exit (also memory problem).

7.x, List View fields were ordered File Name, Size, Kind, Label, and then
Date Modified. I liked this much better because you could see the important
info (Size, Kind, Label) without widening your window to fill half the
screen. In OS 8.1, the relatively useless Date Modified field comes before
Size, Kind, Label necessitating the wider window views. Requires OS 8.1 and

4. Some art desktop patterns (Warhol, van Gogh, DaVinci...)
5. A patch for Emailer 2.0 so that mail folders are Coplandish.
6. A patch for non-dayglow icons in OT/PPP strip.
7. New icons for the BeOS chooser.
Note that patches can be applied individually.
System requirements:
* System 8
* Resedit

Subject: OSL Antibody 1.0
OSL Antibody will check your system (OS8 or better only) for the
presence of Object Support Library. If it finds the OSL, it will trash
it. Since OS8 rolled the functionality of OSL into the System, and many
installers also place the OSL into the extensions folder no matter what
version of system software you are running, this is a good way of
avoiding potential problems and getting rid of an unwanted file.
System requirements:
1. OS8 should be installed. If you are running any system version
lower than OS8, this script will throw out a dialog telling you that you
need to be running OS8, and then quit when you dismiss the dialog. If you
are not running OS8, you probably want to use Object Support Library,
anyway.
2. Applescript must be installed on your system. This is a standard
part of the MacOS these days, so it should be installed if you are
running any version of System 7.5 or higher.

Subject: OSL Handler
OSL Handler
(formerly ObjectSupportLib Check)
�1998 by W.S. Mardis
email:
What is it?
OSL Handler is an AppleScript applet which, after determining that you�re
running System 8.0 or later, searches your Extensions folder for a copy
of ObjectSupportLib and, if found, offers you�the user�the options of
deleting it (recommended), moving it to the Trash, or leaving it alone.
Why do I need it?
ObjectSupportLib is a shared library used by many applications. Prior to
the introduction of System 8, it was a separate file which was installed
in the Extensions folder. Installers for applications that required
ObjectSupportLib often installed a copy, just to make sure it was there.
Beginning with System 8, however, the functionality of ObjectSupportLib
was included in the System file. Most installers, though, don�t know this
and still install a copy of ObjectSupportLib. Unfortunately, its presence
is almost certainly bound to cause problems with your Mac. For instance,
you may see the Finder repeatedly load the desktop and be unable to
launch any applications. If this happens, you�ll probably find that your
Finder preferences file has been corrupted and all settings have reverted
to their default values; the only way to get your values to �stick� again
is to Trash the Finder preferences file, restart your computer and then
set your values. Something of a pain, all because of that one little file.
How do I use it?
OSL Handler may be run at any time by double clicking its icon. However,
since most installers which place anything inside the System Folder at
least suggest, if not require, that you restart your computer, the best
place to put OSL Handler is in the Shutdown Items folder inside the
System Folder; that way, it will usually run and check for an
ObjectSupportLib just before shutdown or restart.
More complete details on the use of OSL Handler are available in the
TexEdit format file, "OSL Handler Read Me".
Requirements
If you�ve gotten this far, you probably realize by now that OSL Handler
requires AppleScript, and that you should only use it with System 8 or
later. That�s it.
Testing
If you want to test OSL Handler, place a copy of any file (not a folder)
in your Extensions folder and rename it �ObjectSupportLib� (without the
quotes). Double click on OSL Handler�s icon and, assuming that you�re
running System 8 or later, OSL Handler will do its thing.
Caveats
There are only two that I�m aware of. First, some installers seem to
by-pass the normal shutdown routine, such that an item in the Shutdown
Items folder won�t be run. Obviously, if OSL Handler isn�t run, it can�t
check for a copy of ObjectSupportLib. Fortunately, for me at least, this
is a rare occurrence.
The second is more insidious. A friend told me today that he found a copy
of ObjectSupportLib in the System Folder rather than in the Extensions
folder where it�s supposed to be, and that it was active. I suppose I
could have OSL Handler look throughout the System Folder but most people,
I suspect, wouldn�t want to wait as long as would be required for such a
search.
Shareware
OSL Handler is being released as shareware. No annoying reminders. No
expiration. Just a simple request that you mail $1.00 to me at:

OSL Watchdog 1.4.1
What it is: AppleScript program that checks for obsolete ObjectSupportLib
Author: Ton Brand
Mac OS: 8.0 or newer
License: freeware
Some applications install under Mac OS 8.x an obsolete version of
ObjectSupportLib (OSL) in the Extensions folder. Since the introduction of
Mac OS 8, ObjectSupportLib is integrated in the system software and having
two OSLs present could lead to strange effects or even crashes. So now there
arises a need to check after every third-party software install procedure
whether ObjectSupportLib was wrongfully added. OSL Watchdog does this for
you automatically, after you have put the program or its alias in the
Startup Items folder (which is in your System folder).
If Apple should ever release a new separate OSL library, this will be seen
by OSL Watchdog and then you can easily adapt the script of this program
following the instructions then given.
OSL Watchdog can only be used - and is only useful - with Mac OS 8.0 or
newer.

Subject: Cliff's Permanent Backup Program 1.0.2
CPBP (Cliff's Permanent Backup Program) is a backup utility for Mac OS. It was
developed on a Power Mac running Mac OS 8.6 but it should run on any Macintosh,
68K or PPC, running Mac OS 7.5 or later.
CPBP backs up the disks, folders and files that you choose, saving the data in
archive files. It also writes an index file, which tells it where in
the archive
each file is stored. Once a file is backed up, the archive copy is
never changed
or deleted; thus the name, Cliff's Permanent Backup Program.
This permanent backup has two consequences:
First, when you restore files, there may be multiple versions of a file in the
archive, and you can choose the version you want to restore. You can also use
CPBP to archive rarely-used files, delete them from your hard disk, and restore
them when you need them.
Second, because archive files are never modified, you can write them to CD or
DVD. This is the feature I wrote CPBP to obtain! I wanted the permanence of CD
backup, together with the convenience of a backup program.
CPBP does all you expect a backup program to do: it will back up all disks
mounted on your desktop, including AppleShare volumes; it will back up only
those disks, folders and files you select in a simple Finder-like list window;
it will do incremental backups, archiving only those files that have changed
since the last backup; and it restores files that you choose in another Finder-
like list window.
CPBP also does interrupted backups. You can interrupt a backup before it
finishes, and resume it sometime later, and CPBP will pick it up exactly where
it left off. This is particularly useful if you're backing up to CD.
CPBP is copyright, but I grant a free license to anyone who likes it and wants
to use it. It's a gift! And you may pass it on, provided you (1) pass on the
Stuffit archive unchanged and complete, and not bits and pieces; and (2) don't
charge for the software, or for any disks on which it appears, without my
permission. To get permission, just send me an email, describe what you want to
do, and I'll almost always say "yes".

PICTInText is an utility that you can use to embed PICT files in your
SimpleText documents. PICTInText will use any PICT file to create,
number and install the necessary PICT resource into your text file
without the need for a graphics application (Photoshop,
GraphicConvertor, etc.) or the need to use ResEdit. Works wonderfully
with screen captures. It does it simply and effectively in 5 simple
steps.

Subject: Pict2Pict (utility)
This program is similar to PictResUtils by Roland Gustavsson. I needed to
do just what that program did, move PICTs between resources and the single-
file format, but had no access to the existing program at the time.
Pict2Pict supports drag-and-drop, should work under System 6 as well as 7.
It uses temporary memory when needed, so its own partition size is minimal.
When you open files with Pict2Pict, each PICT is displayed, so you can choose
whether to save it or skip it, or save all.

Planetary Wide Web is a replacemant for the Netscape 3.0 "busy"
animation at the top right corner of the screen. I thought it was more
suitable since this is the "world" wide web. Basically it's a planet
that spins around. To install it, use ResEdit, if you don't know what
ResEdit is, don't try to use it. I'm not responsible for anything that
happens as a result of using this file (execpt if it works and you like

Requires MacOS 8.1 or later, PowerPC only.
Synopsis:
PlusDisk helps you determine whether converting existing Macintosh disks to
MacOS Extended format would save disk space. MacOS Extended format has the
potential of saving considerable disk space, especially on larger disks
and/or with large numbers of small files. PlusDisk analyzes disk space
usage and recommends a block size which will reduce disk space waste to a
negligible level . It also allows you to choose the block size and erase
the subject disk.

PowerSleep 1.0

Alexis Gehrt
PowerSleep is a fairly simple FKey. It puts your Portabe/Powerbook
imediately to sleep. No more window with messages like "Do you really
wanna do thatI" When the master (ME) says Sleep! my portable sleeps
without mocking. Open it with Suitcase* or install it with ResEdit into
your System. To invoke it press Cmd-Shift-0 (Zero).
Sorry folks it works only with battery powered MacsI
Little bit more technical
This FKey ID#0 first closes AppleTalk then it makes a sleep call. All is
done with 24 Bytes so you will not loose much memory. It is preloaded,
so it should work in any situation without restarting the harddisk.
end technical
PowerSleep is free for personal use. It may not sold nor included with
any so called "ShareWare" Disks or CD's without written permission of
the authors. It is free for CompuServe, Genie, Apple Online and other
non profit BBs.

Subject: Purge OSL 1.0.4
This script checks for the presence of the ObjectSupportLib library
(OSL) in the Extensions folder of any disk. Under Mac OS 8 or newer, it
provides the option to remove it. Under System 7.x, it warns of the
absence of OSL, or the presence of an obsolete version. The script was
written to deal with the fact that many software installer packages
install OSL even though it should not be present under Mac OS 8 or newer
(because a more recent version of OSL is already in the System file),
and also to deal with the fact that many packages install older,
defective versions of OSL over the most recent version.
Purge OSL requires AppleScript, the scriptable Finder and the standard
Apple Choose File and Display Dialog scripting additions. Earlier
versions of Purge OSL have been tested with AppleScript 1.1 and System
7.6 and AppleScript 1.1.2 and Mac OS 8.0. Version 1.0.4 has been tested
with AppleScript 1.1.2 and Mac OS 8.1, and it is believed that it will
compile and run under earlier versions.

password is incorrect than the computer shuts down.
Some features:
The password is saved somewhere on your computer where no one can access it
in an encrypted file that has no creator app or file type so it cannot be
opened when double clicked on. You set the password yourself. When you type
the password in the pw setter program, it shows up as bullets. To view the
password you set just open the pw viewing program. Be sure to hide this so no
one can get to your password.
Each application requires close to no RAM at all.

Subject: ROM Tuning fork...
--========================_13662222==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi everyone,
Apple's ROM crew has done it again: I own a Centris 650. The other day, I
powered up my Mac, and decided that I should immediatley turn off my Mac so
the DAT drive could power up first. Instead of just turning the power off,
I hit the interrupt button. I heard this interesting =-D tune come from my
Mac. I'm not sure, but I think it's a hidden ROM thing that patches the
interrupt key. In the past, I've heard that Quadra 840av's exhibit a wierd
quality like this too when the power key is held down... except it drops
you into a monitor type thing instead of a tune. Here are steps to reprodue
this:
1) Hit the Power Key on the keyboard. (I dont think it matters, as long as
your Mac is _off_ initially. It would be cool if someone or I could figure
out a way to make it do this on every restart. :-)
2) Listen for the "Bzzzzzzzzt" of the power supply getting power.
3) While listening, within 2 seconds of turning it on, hit the interrupt key.
4) Enjoy the short tune it plays.
I checked; pressing some keys on the keyboard does not make the Mac act
like a MIDI keyboard based on which key was pressed. :-( For the rest of
you who might not have a chance to hear the tune, I tape recorded and then
digitized what the C650 plays. 22KHz so that you can analyze it if you
like--sorry about the background noise. In the C650 ROM also is a "Brass
Horn" beep. It sounds like a little horn that squeaks on a kid's bike. I
wont include that, probably because of pattent/copyright violations. :-)
(Hint: Use ROMmie to get your Mac's ROM resource and look for sounds using
ResEdit. I believe it's on info-mac in /dev.)
One thing I would like to pose is this: could something, even more special,
happen if the music's note-representation were typed in? =-D
Questions, comments, anything else? Email me.
Enjoy!

About QuickTrash...
QuickTrash enables you to move a file, a set of files, a folder or a set
of folders to Trash Folder with a point-and-click while your other hand
is holding down a specific key combination to enable the feature. It is
great when you have lots of files to remove and they are scattered all
over or you have many windows opened so that you can't dig out the Trash
to dump the files.
How to install...
QuickTrash is an INIT program that goes into Extension Folder of your
Macintosh. After download, decode '.hqx' file, unstuff '.sit' file, then
you will have a folder containing the program and other information.
Move QuickTrash to your System Folder and click okay to move it into the
Extension Folder. Restart your computer.
How to operate...
When you are on Finder, press down Control Key with Option Key. The
arrow cursor should be changed to something else. Click with a mouse on
the file you want to delete. If the cursor is not changed with the key
combination or the file doesn't move to Trash when it clicked, maybe
your machine is not configured to work with this version. Check the
requirement again...
To remove a set of files or folders, while QuickTrash is
activated(combo-key), select files as you would do normally when you are
in the finder(rubber band method).
Requirements...
This version is NO FAT which is only designed to work for PowerPC
Macintosh, and only tested for MacOS 8.1 and MacOS 8.5.
- PowerPC Macintosh
- MacOS 8.0 or higher
Shareware...
QuickTrash is a shareware. Send $10 USD check if you decided to keep

Subject: QuickTrash 2.0 for MacOS X
What is QuickTrash?
QuickTrash is a little application that can stay in the Toolbar of
Finder window. In this way, it appears in every Finder window opened
and it can be reached at near distance than the Trash in the Doc.
In order to move selected files or folders to the Trash, first select
the files or folders as normally you would. Then one click on the
QuickTrash icon will do the job.
Why use QuickTrash?
Have you ever been tired of dragging files or folders to the Trash in
order to delete them? Did you drop them many times in the wrong folder
or in the dock while you are trying to throw them away? Sure, there is
a contextual Finder menu with control key that you can use to "Move to
Trash". This still requires two hands. QuickTrash lets you do this
type of work with one click!

This is a fully functional, 30-day demo of Resource Extractor. Resource
Extractor is a shareware utility that makes it easy to extract any type and
number of resources from any file. Resource Extractor takes those resources,
and creates a folder of individual ResEdit files, each containing one of the
resources. These are then suitable to drop into a REALbasic project.
Developers may also want to collect resources used in their projects, like
cursors,icons, or sounds. HyperCard or SuperCard developers may just want
to be able to collect resources in folders that make it easy to categorize
and organize them.
For developers who are working with SuperCard projects, Resource Extractor
can also extract resources from the data fork as well as the resource fork.
Now some of the fantastic externals developed by SuperCard developers,
distributed as SuperCard projects, can be used with other programming
environments!

Subject: rtf-to-tex-101.hqx
This is the latest version of a stuffed and binhexed utility application for
converting Microsoft Word RTF files, including most formula codes,
into Plain TeX files.
It is almost *certain* that editing the converted document
will be necessary to produce a TEXT file that can be read with a TeX
processor, however, this utility should take some pain out of converting
a technical Word document to TeX (especially mathematics).
* Runs under System 6 or 7
* Does batch processing
* Conversion tables in dialog resources (Is this a "feature"?)
Included is a document file written in Microsoft Word and a "before" and
"after" file. I have also included the end result of conversion with
rtf2tex, a public domain Unix version, which apparently is designed with a
different task in mind.
Updates:
1) New paragraph inserted at least every 500 characters, so long text files
should
not choke OzTeX.
2) Object and Pict code simply deleted.

Subject: Run DFA 1.0.2
Run DFA 1.0.2 is an AppleScript application which launches Disk First Aid
8.2 and scans all of the local, non-ejectable disks (i.e., hard drives)
on your system. As such, it's a great addition to your Startup Items
folder, and also a handy item to keep around in your Apple Menu.
The theory of operation is pretty simple. Run DFA creates a list of
local, non-ejectable disks and ships the list off to Disk First Aid 8.2
to be verified. That's it. If a disk needs repair, Disk First Aid will be
open and ready to perform the operation.
Run DFA 1.0.2 requires AppleScript and Disk First Aid 8.2.
Any questions, bug reports, and suggestions should be directed to me at

Run DFA 1.0.2 is freeware, and is released to the public without any

commenting is minimal, but so is the functionality in an LDEF. I think
that examination should reveal what you need to know. Use the LDEF source
to write your own, or just use the compiled resources for your app.
Changes:
* The HiliteMode problem was one that has plagued me ever since
I started using a custom MacHeaders file. I have changed the
cell hiliting code to use accessor functions.
* Incorrect management of the Handle states is fixed. The original
code incorrectly initialized their HState fields, and would call
SetHState() with bad data (it crashed only sparingly). This bug
was a carryover from the original LDEF by Steve Falkenberg, which
my code was based on.

Subject: Search & Rescue 2.0.1
There are a myriad ways to recover files from a hard drive, but
conventional wisdom says that once unsaved data - existing only in ghostly
RAM - is lost, there's no way to EVER recover that data. Well, now there is
a way, because Search & Rescue does just that.
Hard drive recovery often costs over $1000, and involves days (or weeks) of
waiting. Unsaved text lost in RAM can be equally distressing but Search &
Rescue salvages your hard work within seconds for only $15!
Welcome to Search & Rescue, an application which gives you the ability to
quickly and easily recover text (which would otherwise be lost forever)
straight from your Mac's memory! You simply enter a word or two of text
from the lost material, click the button, and Search and Rescue will scour
through the dim recesses of your computer's memory until it comes up with
the goods...
Requirements:
Search & Rescue requires at least a 68k Macintosh running System 7.1
Changes in this version:
- Introduction of Search & Rescue Panic Key and RAM Image files.
- Search windows are now resizable.
- Search results logically ordered.
- Support for Navigation Services.
- More substantial manual.
- Generally nicer.
- Balloon help added.
- Fixed a bug which caused crashes on G4 machines, Search & Rescue should
now be stable on all Macs.

Subject: Search & Rescue
Search & Rescue is a tool for recovering work from memory after a crash.
The most likely scenario in which you may need Search & Rescue is if you
suffer from a crash (either application or system) while working on a typed
document, and you lose some or all of you text. It is likely that the text
is still there, somewhere, in memory, but with no way to get at it, you are
stuck! This is where Search & Rescue comes in. You simply enter a portion
of text, which you know to exist in your document, and Search and Rescue
will locate possible places in memory where you may be able to salvage your
text - either in part or, if you're lucky, in full. Search & Rescue can be
recover text after a complete system restart.
Requirements:
Search & Rescue provides support for modern operating system features such
as the appearance manager but also runs well on older, pre-Mac OS 8
systems, with at least System 7. Search & Rescue runs best with at least
1200K of memory allocated to it but, on machines with a limited amount of
RAM, 600K will be sufficient for performing searches and saving recovered
text.

Subject: SimpleBackup 1.6.1
SimpleBackup - a Finder alias-based backup utility
v1.61 (C) 1996-99 by Roland Gustafsson, All Rights Reserved
What is SimpleBackup?
SimpleBackup is a very simple and easy to use file backup utility. I wrote
it because I wanted a quick-and-easy way to back up all those files that are
spread out over the hard disk, in the preferences folder, in the documents
folder, certain folders and files in the applications folder, etc... I
decided that I didn't want to write a user interface for the utility, so I
got the idea of letting the Finder do the work for me by using aliases. The
result is a backup program that is actually easy to use! You simply
navigate through your hard disk and find the files or entire folders that
you want to backup that are buried in the System Folder, Applications,
Documents folders etc., and tell SimpleBackup about those files/folders by
using aliases.
Here is the step-by-step process:
1) Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it �Backup Aliases�.
2) Place a copy of SimpleBackup in this folder.
3) Navigate your hard disk and find those folders and files that you want
to backup. For each folder or single file, create an alias and place it in
the Backup Aliases folder.
4) Open the SimpleBackup application. The folders referenced by the
aliases are scanned to determine how many files and how much space is
required for the backup.
5) SimpleBackup will next ask for a destination folder. This folder
should be on a different volume than the folder/files represented by the
aliases.
6) There are four options that can be set: "Remember settings" remembers
the destination folder name and location, "Don't ask next time", "Skip
unchanged files"* and "Delete Destination Folder"
7) Click "Backup" and the backup process is started. If the folder
already exists on the destination volume, you are asked if you want to use
that folder for the backup.
* A file is assumed to be the same if it is exactly the same length (both
data & rsrc forks), same type/creator, same creation and modification date.
Version 1.61 changes:
* added $5 Register option for those who don't want to say "Thank You" or
would like to encourage me to update SimpleBackup ;-)

Tired of searching through folders and menus for applications? SmartLaunch
is a MacOS utility for launching applications. It works somewhat like
Internet Explorer 5. If you type part of the name of the application a list
will show all applications on your local hard drives with names containing
the text you've written.
You can navigate the list with the up/down keys or you can click items with
the mouse. You launch an application by hitting the return or enter key, or
by doubleclicking it in the list.
Other features:
You can reveal the selected application in the Finder or get info about the
application.
You can drag from the list to the Finder to move or copy the application, or
to make an alias of it. (Done by holding down the standard Finder modifier
keys).
You can drag a file from the Finder to the list and have it opened by the
application it is dropped on.
SmartLaunch is freeware
Version 1.2 adds preferences for which drives to search for applications as
well as settings for what to do after launch (quit/hide/do nothing).

Subject: SoundThemeChanger
SoundThemeChanger is an application which allows you to change Sound
Sets used in MacOS 8.5. Besides the ability to change Sound Sets you
can also record your own sounds for use in the soundset (max 10 sec.).
The registered version even lets you extract sounds from files, if
these sounds are stored in the snd resource. For example it is
possible to extract sounds from different sound sets and to create
your own sound set with it.
Because it is very hard to get all sound resources documented,
SoundThemeChangers has a section with undefined resources, these are
sounds in the theme file which don't have a name or category assigned
yet. However SoundThemeChanger has the unique capability to add sound
resources, all you have to do is give a unique resource number (the
resource number has to be used by the system otherwise it will never
be played) name and assign it to a category.
System requirements :
PowerPC
Memory 2 MB
Mac OS 8.5 or Mac OS 8.1 + soundset file

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Here's something that I knocked up over the bank holiday weekend which
might be of interest.
Let me know what you think. Cheers
JRRK
------------------------------------------------------
Macintosh users might be interested in my attempt to evaluate
the performance of the power PC in a 'real' rather than a benchmark
situation. What follows is the source code and FAT binary for a mini
drag-and-drop archiver which uses the IEEE compress algorithm
and hence is compatible with the original "stuffit".
For maximum learning value I tried to make the source compatible with
both of the Metrowerks compilers and the traditional THINK_C style
of headers. The only real difference in a small program like this
is the use of universal proc pointers to handle the apple events
required for drag-and-drop operation.
Since I couldn't find a better way of doing it I made the FAT binary
by manually merging the 68000 version with the powerPC output of
the Metrowerks Linker using ResEdit. Despite the 'FAT' designation it
is only 24K which might be regarded as acceptable.
On a 6100/60 the emulated version of the program knocks an LC-III
into a cocked-hat, but the native version achieves possibly only
a 50a 50�$��F@xI@peedup over the emulated version. I attribute this surprising
peedup over the emulated version. I attribute this surprising
result to the relatively frequent use of toolbox calls during the
operation in order to keep buffer sizes small, and of course the
fact that the compiler is only an alpha version.
No responsibility accepted for any data loss caused by using this
archiver on your files. It is only meant to be a benchmark remember.
You have been warned.

Before MacOS 9, the Temporary Items Folder was a visible folder in
the System Folder and users could just throw accumulated cruft in the
Trash. With OS 9, Apple hid the Temporary Items folder so well that
not even Sherlock can find it. This is further explained in Article
#25134 from Apple's Technical Information Library.
The solution - Apple says they will fix the problem and I'm sure they
will. Until then, they recommend an AppleScript that doesn't actually
work. TempCleaner does work by searching the Temporary Items Folder
at startup and, if there is anything there, moving it to a 'From
Temporary Items' folder in the Trash. Actually, it won't move more
than 20 at a time but I wanted it to be fast enough that you wouldn't
notice it.

Subject: Text2Rsrc 1.0.1
A common problem for the programmer is that of including styled
text into resources. ResEdit provides a nice editor for
manipulating "TEXT" and "styl" resources but otherwise is not a
great text editor. Apple (and just about every CD-ROM supplier)
supply SimpleText which is a reasonable (read: cheap) styled text
editor, but does not save in resource format.
This plugin-compiler for CodeWarrior simplifies the creation of
styled TEXT resources by allowing the user to edit their text in
standard SimpleText source files (with extension .text) and the
compiler will incorporate them as "TEXT/styl" resources. In fact,
the plugin will also process text files created by CodeWarrior
itself and will incorporate the font information defined in the
preferences panel as style information for the entire file.
1.0.1: Corrects a bug where the source file didn't contain a
leading 134517816sed to drop into MacsBug, not generates an error
message.

Subject: TextLock 1.0; [TEXT->ttro]
Are you tired of opening ResEdit or any other file editor program just to
change a SimpleText document's file type to read-only? Or do you want to be
able to copy text from a read-only SimpleText document, only to find that
you can't select any text? Do you simply want to distribute a document in
read-only format, yet don't know how to go about doing so? TextLock will do
it all! It will convert SimpleText documents to and from read-only format,
convert text documents created with other programs to SimpleText documents,
and is drag-and-droppable!
For those familiar with file types, TextLock simply changes documents with a
file type of 'TEXT' to 'ttro', and documents with a file type of 'ttro' to
'TEXT'.

Subject: Text to STR# 1.1 - create STR# data from a text file
Text to STR#
Version 1.1.0 by Richard Drysdall (2/9/98).
This script is a tool for programmers who wish to create a STR# resource
from a text file.
The software required to use this script is AppleScript (1.0 or higher), a
resource editor (any version of ResEdit or Resourcer) a data fork editor
(e.g. HexEdit 1.0.7 by Jim Bumgardner), and a word processor or text editor
(e.g. SimpleText 1.4).
This version fixes a major bug that prevented the script from working with
a line of text longer than 13 characters.
This file has been checked for viruses with Disinfectant version 3.7.1.

sophisticated procedure. It lets you customize many details of this job.
The recovery of deleted files becomes impracticable: there's no utility
able to do it!
- Simple method. You may also choose some details of this job.
The Eraser Pro returns several informations while it's using the features
of above and allows you to stop its performance at any time. It works fine
and fast in background, deleting large groups of items, you may also
instruct it to ask you the permission, before deleting.
- DISK ERASING:
The Eraser Pro may initialize your disks by using its own, customizable,
method. Through a co-operation with System, The Eraser Pro allows you to
take advantage of HFS+ and FSM, if you want.
- CLEANING FEATURES:
The Eraser Pro creates a list, from where you may gather infos/trash/
delete/view your selection. You may also trash/delete the whole list and
you've always the option to erase by using the "Security method".

the whole System Folder.
All following cleaning options allows you to select the objects to scan:
disks, folders and, often , individual files.
- Orphan files search.
You may get a more accurate analysis, using the three cleaning option of
above, by activating a couple of special options, but slackening the scan
speed.
- Cache search:The Eraser Pro may scan the cache folders of your
Browsers, excluding some files according to theirs modification dates.
- Duplicate file names search.

Subject: The MacLocksmith 2.4.0; file-folder-disk protection
The MacLocksmith is an useful application to save your files from
indiscreet eyes. It protects your files/folders quickly by using a very
strong encryption method and a password. The MacLocksmith supplies also a
second, soft and fast, protection system. You may use it in situations of
already good security level.
The MacLocksmith allows you to create Cryptet. Cryptets are stand-alone
auto-decrypting applications containing one encrypted or protected file. A
Cryptet may decrypt the contained file or simply save it on disks.
Distribution of encrypted files is no longer a problem, now. You may create
FAT, PPC or 68k applications and choose a text file that will be used, by
created Cryptet, as custom About box.
The MacLocksmith can make also other actions:
- it locks/unlocks disks by software flag,
- sets/unsets lock bit of files,
- locks/unlocks names,
- shows/hides files and folders.
You may configure all actions of above through preferences, you may also
set the preferences on the fly, before work, simply holding down option key.
Other preferences options:
- don't encrypt invisibles,
- ignore system resources,
- only folder's contents, ignore the folder itself,
- scan disks.
The MacLocksmith is Internet Config, Drag Manager and Navigation Manager
aware, moreover it's Appearance savvy.
It requires at least System 7 to run.
What's new in 2.4.0 version
Unique password option. Only folder contents option. Don't encrypt
invisible option. Ignore System Resources option. Windows position saving.
Some graphic change. Better support of Appearance in menus. Better check
for low application memory. Scan disk disables encryption and vice-versa.
Improved Internet menu. More well-defined error messages. Navigation
Manager aware. Recompiled by using the newest compiler. Addresses update.
Removed registration form from About Box. Added Registrations folder. Added
Support folder. Removed custom font. Code optimized for better
performances. All code revisited.

'dvc!', 'sd2f', sounds inside Movies ('MooV'), CD Audio tracks ('trak')
and, at last, plays 'snd ' resources inside whatever file!
But the strength of The Musician is its scanning ability: it may explore
your HDs, CDs, folders, diskettes, files, searching for sounds to play. For
example you may drag your disks on The Musician then continuing your normal
work: The Musician will play, asynchronously and in background, any file of
above that will find.
According to your setting The Musician can play any sound immediately or
after your consent, in this last case, whenever founds 'snd ' resources
inside a file, it also conveys you how many sounds the file contains.
In addition you may instruct The Musician to collect aliases of sound
files, while it's playing, so you may enjoy them, when you want, without
perform another search.
The main window has a simple bar that meters the input level of the
microphone, you may disable the bar through the preferences.
At last The Musician may show the QuickTime keyboard (for your fun!) and
record new sounds in 'sfil' or 'AIFF' format.

TitleFree is a MacOS application designed to create and use icons in the
Finder without any title (file name). Finder icons free of file names!
With it you can get rid of any icon name: under the trash, any hard disk
or cd-roms, or any other icon in the finder. And it�s easy to use!
USAGE:
� First: With this new version, to show or hide any name under
any icon you just have to use the provided �Title Free� contextual menu.
� Show icon name: Show the names under the selected icons in the finder
(this option will appear disappear on purpose).
� Hide icon name: Hide the names under the selected icons in the finder
(this option will appear disappear on purpose).
� Deactivate/Activate Title Free: To temporary activate or deactivate
any Title Free effect (any hidden name will then be visible).
� Reset: To reset �Title Free�, this can not be undone.
N.B.: Title Free does not change anything in the file (not even it�s
name!).
� Second: Title Free will also hide any name ending by an under score
�_�, such as �Tmp_�, or �my folder_�. This is a supported trick to
quickly create clean alias panels in the finder.

Subject: Toolbox Keyword List for Metrowerks CodeWarrior CW5
I got my Metrowerks CW5 update today, and thought "Wouldn't it be cool if
the new custom keywords in the editor could be a list of the types defined
by the Toolbox?". So, after a lot of playing around with the version 2.0a3
Universal Headers using streamedit, sort, catenate etc. in MPW (see, it
still has its uses!) I arrived at this list. I tacked the types from
"PP_Types.h" onto the end.
"Toasty's Keyword List" is a Resorcerer file containing a single STR#
resource. To include it in your spanking new CW5 project, just open it and
your project with Resorcerer (or ResEdit if you must) and paste 'STR#' 1008
into your project. The next time you open the project, all (I hope) types
defined using 'typedef' in the Universal Headers (Boolean, AEDesc,
CInfoPBRec etc etc) will appear in the custom keyword colour (green by
default).
Drop me a line if you find it useful, or if you have problems.
Use at your own risk, your mileage may vary, please notify me before

Subject: Text Indexer 1.1.1 - Instant Text Searches!
Plug-in module for UltraFind 2.5.2
UF Text Indexer is a modern indexing engine for Mac & PowerPC that can pre-index
your documents making text searches not just fast - but instant.
Designed to allow text searches with Context display (shows the actual sentences
the words were found in), it indexes target sets of folders which can be anywhere
- on your hard disk or network, or even on CD-ROMs or on off-line volumes. (so
you don't need to have your files on-line to text search them!)
Also unlike normal indexers, it can search on *parts* of words as well as whole
words, and it will index all languages - including Japanese. It is also highly
accurate and will never produce false hits.
While indexing provides super-fast access to your documents, the downside is that
the indexing process itself is naturally very slow, and should be done either in
the background or at night (You would not want watch a few thousand documents
being indexed). However, because the UltraFind Text Indexer is *incremental*, it
does not need to re-index everything, instead it only indexes new or updated
documents, making re-indexing simple and very fast.
1.0 - 1.1.1 WHAT'S NEW?

Subject: Unquote V1.5
Unquote V1.5
(C)1992-1997 AKUA interactive media AG
by Gregory Lemperle-Kerr
Unquote displays a quote chosen from many thousands at startup. There is
nothing to configure (unless you want to use ResEdit - see below), so
just toss it on your system folder and see something useful during that
startup delay - not to say that startup screens can not be tasty.
If you can use ResEdit, here are some tips:
There are ca. 1000 German quotes you may want to remove if you don't
speak the Kraut language - most of you probably don't. To do so, just
remove the "STR#" resources whose names begin with "D" (for Deutsch).
Check out the QPOS resource. It determines where the quote is displayed
and how the text grows. There are comments in the resource itself on how
to use it. There are only three fields, so you can not muck much up.
V1.3: You can now set the sequential flag in the QPOS resource to have GQ
display quotes sequentially instead of randomly. Although the randomness
has improved in V1.3 as well.

Subject: UnUU 2.1US. Decodes UU files & opens them. FAT.
UnUU is a tiny Macintosh utility that deals UU coded chunks sent to news
groups. It knows how to rebuild the original file and to decode UU files.
It can give produced files a file type and a creator depending on the file
names suffix. It can even open those produced files.
UnUU requires System 7 or better.
UnUU is a fat binary that works fine & fast on any Mac, but requires a
68020 or better.
UnUU has a very complete feature set, it's very fast, reliable and eficient.
UnUU works very well with NewsWatcher. You just need to tell NewsWatcher to
use UnUU as its "uudecode helper program" in the "Extracting binaries"
preferences settings. A picture can be downloaded, decoded and opened by
your favorite graphic editor in just one keystroke (cmd-B).
If you deal with UU files, try it ! It's probably the most completly
featured utility for uu-decoding file on a Mac. It's also among the fastest
I know of. And it's a PostcardWare !
Size of the archive : 30k (+hqx).
Georges-Edouard Berenger.
This version adds the capability to process files of an abitrary size.
Version 2.1
* If there is not enough memory to read an entire file in memory at once
even with temporary memory, UnUU will read it part by part if the clever
mode is not selected.
* Sped up a few things.
Version 2.0.2
* Tried to improve the notice.
* Fixed minor bugs in the preference dialog box.
* Tuned some integers sizes to be optimal on both 68k and PPC machines.
* Various little comestic changes.
Version 2.0.1
* Removed bug where selecting a file type or creator by expample would
change the specified folder for creating files.
* Improved the way the destination folder is tracked. The destination
folder can now be renamed, moved around, etc.
* Improved the way name conflicts between files and folders are resolved.
Version 2.0
* Created a complete preference dialog box that lets users select ALL
settings (no more ResEdit !).
* One can choose to create the produced file either in the folder of the
source file or in a specified folder.
* Source files can be automatically deleted, moved to the trash, organized
in a folder or left where they are. They can also be renamed after the name
of the produced files.
* Removed the useless debug mode.
* Improved the way name conflicts are resolved.
* UnUU now reports in the about dialog box which code (PPC or 68K) is active.
* Compiled with CodeWarrior 7.

Subject: UULite 3.0 Release for the Macintosh
I am pleased to announce the release of UULite version 3.0 for the
Macintosh. UULite is one of the fastest, most powerful and easiest to
use smart uudecoder/uuencoders available for the Macintosh.
UULite is one of the first and best uuencoder/ uudecoders available for
the Macintosh. It's a highly optimized, single-pass, disk-based
uudecoder/ uuencoder. Because it's disk based, it's never necessary to
adjust its memory partition to handle any file -- no matter how large.
UULite version 3.0 now runs native on both Power Macs and 680x0
Macintoshes. If the task is to uudecode/uuencode files, UULite will
save you time and aggravation.
Version 3.0 has the following features:
* One-step Smart uudecoding:
- Multi-part file decoding with automatic header and footer removal - no
editing required
- Ability to decode source files containing multiple output image files
- Drag and Drop decoding of any number of files
- Ability to automatically move source file to the trash
- File Merge and Decode for decoding images from multiple input files
* One-step uuencoding with file splitting to simplify Usenet posting
* Smart automatic file Type and Creator stamping - user configurable
* Manual file Type and Creator editing on any file
* UNIX <=> Mac text conversion
* No Frills uudecoding
* Direct and unambiguous feedback on progress
* Background processing: decode/encode in the background while you work on
other things
* Help and Usenet Read News Tutorial
* Improved NewsWatcher compatibility
* Ability to use other programs as helper programs
- You can now configure UULite to feed decoded files to other programs
(launching them if necessary). Imagine selecting an uuencoded image
file in NewsWatcher, choosing "Extract Binaries" and having the image
decoded and fed to a program like JPEGView for immediate display on
your screen...all in one step.
________________________________________________________________________
System Requirements: Macintosh (680x0 or Power Macintosh) running System
7.0 or greater with at least 500K of available RAM.

To get around, you have several options:
- use the scroll bars on the sides of the screen
- click a "door," or use the Door menu or Control Strip, to go
to a preset location (with the option to launch an application
or document)
- see the entire virtual desktop in miniature, and rearrange
your windows and icons
- press a key combination to scroll in any direction
- push a reference point on the virtual desktop from A to B
using the mouse
- shove the mouse against the edge of the screen to scroll in
any direction
Version 1.9.5 adds compatibility with Mac OS 9.1. With its many
helpful features and options for customization, Virtual Desktop
is one exciting piece of freeware!

What it does
Visual Balloons is the easiest way to add Balloon Help to your
PowerPlant projects. With Visual Balloons, you simply drag a help
balloon from the PowerPlant Catalog window to any of your PowerPlant
Panes, and Visual Balloons does the rest!
Features
+ Seamless integration with PowerPlant Constructor
+ Easy to use through Drag & Drop
+ No sublcassing required
+ Installs in less than 5 minutes
+ only two additional lines of code to write
+ supports "embedded" strings, styled text, 'STR ' and 'STR#'
resources, and PICTs
System Requirements
Visual Balloons will work on any computer that has System 7 or later
installed. Visual Balloons disables itself automatically when running
on a pre-System 7 computer.
For development, you'll need CodeWarrior and PowerPlant Constructor.
Since the Balloon editors were created as CTYP resources, Constructor
must support those resources (I think CTYPs have been supported since CW
11).
What's new in this release (reverse chronological order) DR 2 + Easier
to use: there are now only two 68K libraries, one for model near and one
for model far + Improved stability: Balloon Toggler no longer crashes
when not attached to an LControl (thnx to Willis Morse, wmorse@aol.com)

Subject: Witchdoctor Pro 2.0.0
Witchdoctor Pro is a program that allows the user to manipulate files in
several way by means of plug-ins. It has three kind of plug-ins: Watcher
(the plug-in that does everything), Resource Module (a plug-in containing
resources) and Data Module (a plug-in containing data). You may create or
modify plug-ins, quickly and easily using Witchdoctor Pro itself.
When you drag a file onto Witchdoctor Pro then you may select manually the
plug-in that should work, or let Witchdoctor Pro choose the appropriate
one. Moreover, Witchdoctor Pro may create Witchcrafts! Witchcrafts are 68K,
PPC or FAT stand-alone applications containing a Watcher and, optionally, a
Resource Module and a Data Module. As bonus Witchcrafts may contain custom
About boxes.
Watchers and Witchcrafts can perform up to five series of actions and link
together all series. Without wasting words here are some of stuff you may
do by creating Watchers or Witchcrafts for Witchdoctor Pro:
Updater Applications with name and version checking. File's Finder flag
bits manipulation (stationery, locked, invisible and so on). Two ways or
one way file conversion (Type, Creator, Finder Infos) between specified
kind of files, example: you may create a Watcher for just swapping only
between SimpleText files and SimpleText Read Only and vice versa. Simple
Type, Creator and Name changing. Adding Data and Resource from Modules or
remove resource forks. Another example: up until now in order to create
self-extracting compressed archive, you need to open the document with
whatever program goes with it, then save it as a self-extractor. Now
instead, after you've created the appropriate plug-in, you can just drop
the document on Witchdoctor Pro (or on the created Witchcraft), and it will
output a self-extractor, and vice versa. File deletion. File launching.
File launching by means of alternate applications. File duplication. File
trashing. File copying. Alias creation. Internet Config post process.
And more...
In a few words plug-ins creation is limited only by your creativity. By
using a bit of fantasy you may create plug-ins for (little) security
erasing, or to launch a self-extracting archive after its creation, or to
open all dragged files by using one alternate application, or to open any
dragged file by using several alternate applications. And so on...
Witchdoctor Pro is Internet Config and Navigation Manager aware, it's
Appearance Savvy and requires at least System Seven to run. Think
different, use Witchdoctor Pro!

Duo 2300c, Macintosh LC and Macintosh Performa 580CD, but I don't know
about any other machines.
Even if you hate this startup, then still send me an e-mail telling what
I should do in my next version.
I have a home page which you can cheak out my other freeware, the URL
is: http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Glade/3019/index.html.
If you want to put this software on a CD or somehting, you MUST notify
me before you do anything by e-mail.
In case you are wondering, I live in Melbourne and I am 12 years old. I
made this whole startup on just one day.

Subject: ZapResForks
What is ZapResForks?
ZapResForks is a utility that allows you to delete the Resource Fork from files
quickly and easily.
What do I need to run it?
ZapResForks will run on any Macintosh, 68K or PowerPC.
What is a Resource Fork?
MacOS files are made up of two parts - the resource fork and the data fork. In
general, the data fork is used mainly by documents (although PowerPC native
applications use it for code also). The resource fork is where all the interface
elements of applications are found, and the 680x0 code.

* Do you like the menus in ZTerm 0.9 but think there needs to be more
command-key equivalents?
* Do you hate the menus in the hacked version of ZTerm called 0.92XK but
like some of the new command-key equivalents?
* Do you hate the menus in the hacked version of ZTerm called 0.95XK EVEN
MORE than the 0.92 "version"?
If you answered yes to any or all of the above, you should try my menus!
Use ResEdit to paste these new menu resources into a COPY of your ZTerm
0.9, 0.92XK, or 0.95XK replacing all existing resources.
Let me know what you think, and if you do like these please let the author
of ZTerm know so he can include the changes in a future version of his
program.

Subject: ZTerm Speed Patch
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).

This version replaces my previous upload, which contained the
instructions, but not the color palette. A Stuffed, BinHexed
file. Please place in the comm directory with ZTerm.
