ATPM is a fun monthly chronicle of the Macintosh experience by and for
everyday users. It includes humorous anecdotes, short stories, reviews
and commentaries by Macintosh owners and users about our favorite
personal computer. It's a must read for the true Macintosh devotee.
This is our January, 1997 "Inaugural Issue."
This month' s edition includes Robert Paul Leitao's Apples, Kids &
Attitude along with a very timely Personal Computing Paradigm in which
Michael Tsai compares the benefits of NeXTstep to the benefits of the Be
OS. Please don't miss ATPM's new "education department" called Mac
Ademia Nuts and Bolts. It is our way of starting the year off "smart."
Our reviews this month include a look at the new Adobe Persuasion 4.0!

Subject: [*] BeBop
Hello world!
Are there elements of the Mac interface (Copland) that you like, but
then again, you find certain elements of the Be interface nice?
Well so do I. So with a little hacking in ResEdit, BeBop was born. It
takes the best of both worlds. So install it, and see what you think.
If you don't like it, turn it off.
BeBop is based on ~Aaron and BeView by Greg Landweber.
Like any good hack, BeBop is totally unsupported.
Hey, and by the way, those of you that have said all the nice things
about my previous hack, "Zoomin," thanks...

Subject: [*] Fast Font Menu 1.1J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Fast Font Menu freeware package.
FastFontMenu is a System Extension (INIT) which speeds up the building of
the Font Menu in most applications. It does this by sorting the font names
in an internal array, rather than insertion sorting them in the menu the
way the current MacOS does. This improved algorithm is scheduled to be
included in a future version of the MacOS.
FastFontMenu 1.1 adds caching. This has two benefits. The first is that
it'll be MUCH faster for every font menu after the first, as long as your
fonts haven't changed (applications that have fonts in their resource forks
will clobber the caching, but they've been warned about that by Apple's
Developer Support for more than five years). The second benefit is that
after the first time, the memory requirements of FFM are much smaller.

Subject: [*] Internet Training Module 2
Guys,
This is the long awaited sequel to InterMod1 (now in revision 3).
Have attached a new training module that I have developed for work. It's
contains the lowdown on a number of aspects of the Internet that can be a
bit difficult to grasp. It is not meant for experts, but is a
continuation of the first Module.
It's easy to follow, and installation instructions are included. It's not
a stack, or an application, just a formatted series of Claris HomePage
HTML doc's that do a bit of explaining.
Like the first one, it's free, so have fun. (remember to eMail me when
you download it)
InterMod 1r3 has now been translated into more than 10 languages by
enthusiasts around the world, and is available on sites everywhere. It
has also been included on MacAddict.

MacCurveFit is a scientific least squares curve fitting program. Data sets
can be entered into a spreadsheet window or imported from programs like
Excel or extracted from text files. Arbitrary equations may then be fitted
to the data and the fits displayed graphically. The equations can be
defined
by typing them as text and so the program is very flexible. There is also a
choice of mathematical algorithms that can be used for curve fitting.
Version 1.3 allows log-linear and log-log plots.
The program is shareware.

Subject: [*] Manic_Minefield (a minesweeper type of game))
(You are allowed to put this file on any media you like, including
CD-ROM.)
REQUIREMENTS
Computer: A MacOS compatible computer with a PowerPC processor.
Colors: Thousands (15bits) or millions (24bits).
THE GAME
You might have played a game called 'MineSweeper' (MicroSoft),
'Landmines' (Atari Corp), or anything else with the word 'sweeper' or
'mine' in it.
Then you probably know how to play, since the rules of those games and
Manic Minefields are very similar.
Manic Minefields is really 10 (!) different minesweeper games in one
program, each with
its own unique set of graphics, sounds, special rules, game plot and
hiscore tables.
In the unregistered version you only get to play 2 of the 10 games, but
that's more than you get in the registered version of any other
minesweeper
game on the market.

Subject: [*] MicNotePad Lite 3.8.8
MicNotePad Lite 3.8.8 improves compatibility.
MicNotePad is an easy to use, enhanced, digital no-tape recorder. Its
significant features are: It also is a transcriber. It works reliably.
It is easy to use. It works in the background. It can run in half a
megabyte of RAM. 70 pages on-screen user guide are built in.
MicNotePad is being used for dictation, transcription, and archiving.
MicNotePad is being used to record test flights, interviews, lectures,
meetings, performances, and kids.
To fully explore MicNotePad, switch to both Large View and Full Menus. In
spite of its ease of use and reliability, MicNotePad's long list of
features include: Superior sound quality, yet one hour fits into only
14MB, adjustable sound formats, optional automatic playback, rewinding, and
locking, unique markers, sound check, adjustable sound input gain level,
adjustable key combinations, adjustable playback speed while keeping
original pitch, notification, selection of sound input device, AppleScript
scriptability, drag and drop onto email messages, playback of many aif, au,
wav, and system sound files, some optimization to allow transfer from and
to audio tapes, compatibility with search engines, totally transparent
compatibility across the hardware platform from the PowerBook 140 to the
Power Macintosh 9500. It even allows to use regular external microphones
with the PowerBook 5300 series without using any hardware adapters.
Balloon Help often clarifies when minor features are not available on
specific Macintosh models and describes some more power features.
MicNotePad is a speech product that is well integrated into the word
processing paradigm. Other than most other speech products, it works for
any language, accent, number of speakers, background noise, or topic.
Beyond uses in journalism, legal and medical transcription, and higher
education, it also serves well in language study, speech therapy, with
attention deficit disorder, and for creative writing.
Known limitations of MicNotePad Lite 3.8.8, for very few users only: For
some Mac models that will be introduced after fall of 1996 you might have
to come back for a newer version. If that occurs, then it is obvious
immediately, and you can send an e-mail to the authors to accelerate
development of a new version (your vote for the budget).

Subject: [*] OTConfigs - AppleScript addition to configure OT
- OTConfigs is an AppleScript scripting addition.
- It allows you to switch configurations of OpenTransport without having
to open the Control Panels, such as TCP/IP, and PPP.
For instance, if you have a configration "HyperNet" defined in your
TCP/IP control panel, you can write a script like this:
change config of OT_TCP to "HyperNet"
When you execute the above script, TCP/IP configuration gets changed
to the one named "HyperNet".
- The package contains sample AppleScripts, so you can start using it by
just entering the names of configurations you defined in your
OpenTransport Control Panels.
- Very useful if you are a client of mulptiple PPP connections because
you can change TCP/IP and PPP configurations, and then start initiating
a PPP connection by just one action.
- $10 shareware. (payable online)
Changes from the last version:
No code change. Mior changes in ReadMe files.
System requirements:
- AppleScript
- OpenTransport
Thanks,

Subject: [*] Paul's Soundtrio
Here are 2 sounds (Happyhour and Sweetime) you can use on your Mac for
every time an hour passes on your system clock. The other sound
(Makencopies) is for when the printer has finished printing.
First unstuff "soundtrio.sit," then simply place all the sound files into
your system suitcase, which is in your system folder, and you'll be able to
highlight one of them as your hourly sound using the Date & Time Control
Panel. If you want to make "Makencopies" a printing sound, it should be
availible as an option in the Print window of whatever Word Processing App
(Microsoft Word etc...) you are using.
Where are the sounds from?
Happyhour - a short sound clip from The Tragically Hip's song "Little
Bones," from the album "Road Apples."
Sweetime - Jimi Hendrix saying, "I didn't meeean to take up all you're
sweet time!" From the song "Voodoo Child."
Makencopies - From the good old days of Saturday Night live.
Hope you like the sounds!

Subject: [*] Spell 1.0
SPELL is a program for kids who like to learn how to spell their first
words.
Spell comes with 30 words. When your kid wants more it is easy to make
new words. You can use anything saved as PICT or QuickTime as
illustrations and/or questions.
Old children or their parents can use Spell to make a simple quiz or test.
Spell works like this:
The computer shows a picture or plays a small movie. You write a word. If
you spell it wrong twice you are shown which letters to use. If you spell
it wrong a third time you are shown the right answer. When a level is
finished you see your score. There are three levels with ten words each.
You can get 30 points at each level. With 20 points you may go on to the
next level. With 28 you may get a printed diploma.
Spell is very simple to use, made for children who cannot read and who
are unfamiliar with computers. You can use the keyboard or click on big
letters (in alfabetical order) on the screen.
Spell has on-line-help and a printable manual with information about how
to use the program with your own words.
Spell is released as shareware. It is fully functional, no demo.
Non-commercial distribution of the Spell installer files is allowed. For
all other distribution, mail to: eva.wieselgren@tinnar-torn.se
Spell requires a Mac LC III (Performa 450) or better with at least: 256
colours, 640x480 screen, System 7.1, QuickTime 2.1.
Spell is made by Tinnar & Torn Minimedia, Saggatan 33 C, S-414 58

The "Troubleshooting 101 Presentation" is a fully interactive application
designed to help you troubleshoot your Macintosh if it bombs or freezes
under System 6.0 through 7.6. It won't help you with a "Sad Mac" on startup
problem, won't bring back a trashed file, and it won't make your boss give
you a raise, but it just might bail you out of a bad situation. This is
written with a Macintosh novice in mind but contains useful information for
all levels of Macintosh users.
There are two versions of this troubleshooting presentation, but both have
identical content. "Troubleshooting 101 IA.sit" (or "Troubleshooting 101

"Troubleshooting 101 IA w MUSIC") contains background music which plays
throughout the presentation.
This is the "Troubleshooting 101 IA" version. It requires a Macintosh with

Subject: [*] WarpSearch CGI 2.4
WarpSearch is a *fast* non-indexed TEXT and HTML file search utility that
functions in both local and CGI/ACGI modes. It works with any
CGI-compatible Macintosh web-server, including Quid Pro Quo, NetPresenz,
WebSTAR, Web Server 4D, and many others. WarpSearch will recursively
search files and aliases in any folders on your web site that you specify
in a URL or search form. Speed tests on an old Mac IIci measure WarpSearch
at over 500kb/sec and the newer PowerPC Macs perform far better.
v2.4 - Enhancements & fixes:
-Better parsing of the WarpSearch.html file. This should allow
modification of this file using your favorite WYSIWYG HTML processor.
-The much-requested sub-folder feature (undocumented in releases prior to
1.8) is back and is fully supported!
-Case-sensitive searches are now provided! See the included
WarpSearch.html file for proper use. WarpSearch defaults to
case-insensitive.
-A "Filename search only" option may also be included in your search forms.
This allows searches by file name rather than content.
-Mundane fixes for: GET method used by URL and ISINDEX search methods,
removal of another error dialog that we never wanted to see, improved
handling of garbled search requests, and a 50k increase in memory for
WarpSearch.

Gordon,
You are right to challenge me on the validity of the alert message I sent.
I had not checked it out before passing it on. However, one of the people
to whom I sent it is an attorney and in response, he sent me what appears
to be the relevant FCC notice which I have enclosed at the end of this
message. I clearly am not a lawyer but it looks to me like this is a valid
concern. By all means, use your best judgement as to whether or not to
include it in info-mac. I won't feel slighted in any way if you think it is
best not to do it. If you do decide to include it, I think you should add a
comment to the effect that those wishing to send a comment to the FCC on
this matter are required to use the docket number of the proceeding in the
subject line as stated in the "Filing Comments" section at the end of the
FCC notice.
Keep up the good work.

News Release ]
Access Charge Reform NPRM In this proceeding, the FCC seeks to reform its
system of interstate access charges to make that system compatible with the
pro-competitive deregulatory framework established by the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. The NPRM includes several proposals for
reform of the Commission's existing access charge rate level policies. The
Commission outlines two possible approaches for addressing claims that
existing access charge levels are excessive, for establishing a transition
to access charges that more closely reflect economic costs, and for
deregulating incumbent LEC exchange access services as competition develops
in the local exchange and exchange access markets.

Comments on the Access Charge Reform NPRM (FCC 96-488) are now available
for downloading. 1/31/97
Internet Access & Information Service Provider NOI The NOI seeks comment
on whether the FCC should, in addition to access charge reform, consider
actions relating to the implications of information service and Internet
access provider usage of the public switched network. In particular, in
light of concerns raised over congestion on the public switched network,
the Commission seeks comment on how it can most effectively create
incentives for the deployment of services and facilities to allow more
efficient transport of data traffic to and from end users. The Commission
made no specific proposals, but tentatively concluded that providers of
information services (including Internet service providers) should not be
subject to the interstate access charges that local telephone companies
currently assess on long-distance carriers.
