Subject: [*] Bill Atkinson's QuickFile
This is a simple, lightning-fast rolodex program, and is free. It's also
one of the first Mac programs ever, dating from 1984 (but works fine with
system 7.1, 32 bit etc.) and written by Bill Atkinson, originator of
Hypercard. It may represent the genesis of his thinking about Hypercard. In
any case, it's a gem of a utility.
Since it puts its data file in the same folder as the program, put the
program anywhere, with an alias in your Apple Menu Items folder. Complete
on-line help in the About box.

Subject: [*] Birthdays-and-Such 1.0.2 update
Birthdays and Such is a tiny application meant to be launched on daily
startup, to remind you of the important birthdays and anniversaries in your
life. (It's only 17K, plus a sample Reminders text file and a manual.) It
works for me, which has made me the envy of all my friends and relatives. By
setting reminders 10 or so days ahead, I find I'm as on the ball as the best
of the rest of my friends and relatives in remembering to buy cards and
presents (and to actually send them)--and way ahead of the date-impaired.
Birthdays and Such runs on almost every Macintosh computer that's been made
since 1986 -- Mac Plus through the latest PowerMacs. It requires only System
Software version 6, but takes advantage of System 7 features when available.
The steps to use Birthdays and Such are simple: You type important dates into
a text file (just modify the sample Reminders file that's part of the
package). And you set Birthdays and Such to run every time you start your
Macintosh. (Simple instructions are in the manual)
Then every time you turn on your Macintosh, it starts up Birthdays and Such.
The program looks up the current date and scans the Reminders file for
upcoming events. And voila, in the topmost window on your screen, it displays
just those--the ones you need to do something about. It's at this point that
I write myself a short note to buy a card, or I pull out the card I bought
earlier.
(If you leave your Macintosh running for days at a time, that's ok, too:
Birthdays and Such will update to the next day's reminders every night on the
stroke of midnight.)
Birthdays and Such is What'sItWorthWare--that is, you decide what Birthdays
and Such is worth. (If you use it, it's worth _something_.)
Enjoy!

Subject: [*] ClarisWorks 4.0v5 Updater
The ClarisWorks 4.0v5 U.S. Updater for Mac OS updates versions 4.0
through 4.0v4. It only works on U.S. versions. International version will
be posted in the Software Center on the Claris web site as they become
available.
The updater requires 2.3MB RAM and 2.3mb disk space for the updater, plus
8MB disk space for the full update installation.
This update addresses the following issues since 4.0v4
- Closing a ClarisWorks document with more than 48 mb of available system
RAM, would crash certain machines
- Calculations in Excel spreadsheets that contained numbers >32767
imported as negative numbers
- Several stationery files have been updated to use 1997 dates

Subject: [*] Control Strip Menu 3.0.2 [ English ]
Hello everyone,
this is version 3.0.2 of Control Strip Menu (an English version).
Moderators, please replace any older versions you have in your gui
directory.
THE SOUND BITE:
Working with your files, folders, or applications has never been easier.
It's now just a click or drag away!
THE ELEVATOR STATEMENT:
Control Strip Menu is a control strip module that puts a hierarchical
menu of your favorite files and folders on your control strip. This lets
you access files, folders and applications with just a click or drag! You
can drag items to copy, move, or make aliases to them. Control Strip Menu
works the way you want it to because it can be customised in a multitude
of ways.
REQUIREMENTS:
This module works on desktop Macs, portable Macs, and PowerMacs. System
7.0 or later is required. Macintosh Drag and Drop (which is built into
System 7.5 or later) is highly recommended.
ABOUT THIS VERSION:
This is a minor new version. It has a few bug fixes.
The main improvements in version 3 are:
* better menu placement
* supports multiple display folders (like the buttons on Launcher)
* supports separators on the display strip
* supports re-ordering of the display strip
* allows you to drag out of menus
this is on top of the great functionality it already has.
Please see the included Read Me files for all the details.
Control Strip Menu is shareware.
Enjoy,
Vincent.

Subject: [*] Count WWWebula Plugin 1.1.1
Count WWWebula is a code fragment plugin for use with Macintosh web servers
that
support either WSAPI or MOSAPI plugins. Right now, that means either WebStar,
Quid Pro Quo, or Microsoft's Web For One. A CGI version is also available.
(READ: THIS IS *NOT* FOR UNIX MACHINES, NOR WILL IT RUN ON ANY UNIX INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS' WEB SERVERS)
Count WWWebula Plugin is a graphical access counter. It will display the number
of "hits" your web page has received in the form of a gif image.
Count WWWebula was created using Greg's PowerPlant CGI Framework extensions to
Grant's CGI Framework. It was written using Metrowerks Codewarrior C++ and
PowerPlant, so it is blindingly fast.
Count WWWebula Plugin is shareware. Everyone must send me $30 dollars c/o Kagi
Software per server running the counter, if you are planning on using it.
Please
read the enclosed license agreement for complete details. You can do this
via the
included "Register" application. Individuals, educational institutions, and
non-profit organizations are not excluded in sending in the registration fee,
unlike the CGI version of Count WWWebula.
Changes in the plugin since 1.1:
* Fixed a problem with the tables in memory where if the arguments to the
plugin
were similar enough to a seperate entry in the database, they would use the
same
entry. Meaning your counts aren't accurate.
Additional counter digits, an FAQ, more documentation and information, as
well as
current versions can be found at:

Subject: [*] Disk Charmer 3.0.7; disk erase/copy/verify utility
You don't have to wait for Copland to initialize disks in
background...
Disk Charmer is a neat utility that lets you conveniently erase and
copy disks, and handle disk images in DiskCopy and DiskDup+ format.
Disk Charmer lets you create larger disks: you gain 9K on 800K disks,
19K on HD disks, 1.5MB on Zips.
At least System 7 is required.
Help Balloons are everywhere.
Disk Charmer has a nice, modeless interface.
It fully supports drag&drop.
It supports the handy "Undo" feature we all know and love.
New since version 3.0.6:
* disk names are properly truncated when dealing with foreign file
systems (MS-DOS, ProDOS)
(Thanks to Peppino Ventura for spotting this one!)
* now works with Zip disks (I think they changed the driver so as to
reject Status calls; Disk Charmer used Status to detect write
protected disks early, and was not lenient if Status failed; it used
to work with older Iomega drivers, too bad I didn't test with 4.3.2!)
Don't forget to check out my Web pages!

Subject: [*] DiskTracker 1.1
DiskTracker is an extremely powerful and flexible disk cataloging and
management system. It combines a huge feature set with a really easy to
use Mac-like interface. With DiskTracker, you can quickly and easily
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, much, much more!
DiskTracker requires System 7.0 or later and at least 700K of available
memory.

Eumorpha is a simple utility which will import Eudora/sendmail mailbox
files and NewsWatcher saved articles into Claris Emailer 1. It will
also burst the usual digest formats. Other formats can be imported by
using MailConverter with its Eumorpha option. You must have a version of
Claris Emailer between 1.0v2 and 1.1v3 (inclusive) to use this version of
Eumorpha.
This version corrects an occasional oddity that can crop up in the
creation of Date: headers for outgoing mail (Eudora does not keep a true
Date: header in outgoing messages, so Eumorpha must manufacture one on
the fly).

'FoldIt (light) v.4.2.1' is a molecular modelling program to visualize and
manipulate protein coordinate files in the Brookhaven PDB format. The
protein structure can be manipulated easily in real time with the mouse,
zoomed or observed in stereo. Structure movement can also occur stepwise
for a more precise control. Animations can be created. Protein structures
can be analyzed. Several protein structures are included as example. The
present enhanced FAT binary version runs native on 68K and PPC machines.

Subject: [*] Freeware PICT player/info maker
"Info ??" is COMPLETELY FREEWARE. Do whatever you want with it: modify it,
give
it away, sell it or incorporate into your own programs (the C source code is
provided ). I don't expect payment, royalties, acknowledgement or anything.
But a thankyou would be appreciated.
With it, you can produce a stand-alone application that plays PICTs files
(forwards or backwards in sequence). It's nothing fancy - but what do you
expect
for free?
It was written by me over a wet Lancashire weekend in March 1996 - to provide a
basic way of supplying information when some graphics are called for (ie: text
alone just won't do).
Having written it (and found out how simple it was to do) I wondered why a
little
thing like this wasn't already available. Maybe it is - but I haven't come
across
it. Anyway, here's my version.
To make it work you'll need ResEdit (supplied free by Apple) - available from
bulletin boards, magazine disks & CDs or from someone else who's had a Mac for
a
while.
The application play PICTS starting at ID number 128 onwards until there isn't
another one that follows in sequence. What you've got to do is drop them into
the PICT resource using ResEdit - in the sequence you want them to play.
You can
also use ResEdit to change the ID numbers and hence the sequence.
To change the closing message: use ResEdit to change STR# resource, ID number
128, item 2 to suit.
To create a PICT resource (also for free) press shift-apple-3 (keyboard 3 NOT
keypad 3) simultaneously and the system will take a screen shot. This will be
saved on your hard disk with a filename like "Picture 1". Double click this
and
it should open with SimpleText (also free with the System). Select the bit
you
want and "copy" it to the clipboard. Switch to ResEdit and you'll be able to
"paste" it into a PICT resource. Simple as that!
If you find this useful, I'd appreciate a thankyou note, a postcard or an
example of what you've used it for.
It's not obligatory - it would just be nice.

Subject: [*] FunKeys 1.2
Welcome to FunKeys!
This name can be interpreted three ways:
-Short for Function Keys.
-Keys that are, well, fun.
-Things that are Funkey. [sic]
It's all three, but the first interpretation is most on the ball.
What FunKeys allows you to do is, basically, "set" those function keys on the
top of your keyboard (F1, F2, F3, F4) to do things. Most of us Mac users
never even use those keys; FunKeys not only gives them a use, but it also
makes them really useful.
What it allows you to do is program all 15 of them to either open
applications, execute an AppleScript, or invoke an FKEY macro.
For example, F1 can open America On-Line, F2 can open Microsoft Word, F3 can
turn off the sound, and F4 can quit all open applications. It's entirely up
to you.
In order to take advantage of the AppleScript functions, you will need to
have System 7.5 or later installed; otherwise, you can simply use FunKeys to
open your favorite applications, or FKEYs, at a blast.
This new version of FunKeys puts up an icon menu in the menubar, so even if
you don't have an extended keyboard, you can still take advantage of FunKeys.
This version is a free upgrade to all registered users.
FunKeys can also switch over to a certain application if it is already
running.
And, best of all, you can still use the Function Keys for their current uses,
at the same time that FunKeys is running.
Also, FunKeys comes with a few sample, free, AppleScripts.
The previous version of FunKeys had over 933 downloads.

specification of convergence and aliasing parameters
- Scatter and Residual plots
- Output of deviance, parameter estimates, residuals and parameter
correlations
- Saving of data files complete with all model specifications.
- printing of data, graph and results.
- Online Help (under the apple menu) and a brief User Manual.
- includes example data files for most examples in two of the texts.
The programme is shareware with a fee of $AUD30 for individual copies or
$AUD150 or $US110 for site licences. ($1AUD is approximately $US0.78). Further
details in the "Read Me" file.
Unregistered copies are fully functional but will expire at the end
of 1997.
Changes in this version are
- fixed problem with graphs when all values on one axis are almost (but
not quite) the same
- introduced new ordering system through Kagi Shareware, allows credit
cards, $US cheques etc

MacSOUP is an offline reader for news and mail.
The most important changes are:

- New options in the Settings dialog (under Miscellaneous):
o you can specify whether the settings of the "Show" and "Sort by"
popup menus are remembered separately for each newsgroup/mailbox,
or whether it's a global setting for all newsgroups/mailboxes
o default tab width for outgoing messages
o a new "Warnings" page that lets you turn on confirmation alerts for
certain operations such as "Purge old articles"
- When fetching news, the database files are updated more often. This
is a bit slower but safer; if your Mac crashes while MacSOUP is
downloading, you won't lose as much data.
- several minor bug fixes

NightShade is my first attempt at a Kaleidoscope Color Scheme and I discovered
that it's harder than I at first thought. I based the design on Eclipse
(a scheme that comes with Kaleidoscope) and Kronos (part of Dave's
Kaleidoscope Extras), but most of the artwork is original.
To use NightShade, drop it into the Kaleidoscope Color Schemes folder
(located inside your Extensions folder), then open Kaleidoscope and select
it from the available schemes.
Note: NightShade supports accent colors just like the Aaron color
scheme. Be sure to select the accent color you like best. Also, NightShade
changes your folder icons but you need to restart your Macintosh to see
the change.
NightShade is E-MailWare. If you like it, send e-mail. E-mail is also

Skittles is an action/puzzle game for one or two players! You control
genetically
altered Skittles which fall from the sky, trying to keep them from stacking
up to
the top of the screen.
The Skittles engineers have recently been experimenting with new
flavors and colors. One of the more psychopathic scientists decided to
alter the Skittles' formulas through genetic mutation. The first test
batch was produced, and a teeming, jiggly mass of coagulated, living
Skittles appeared. They quickly began to multiply and pile up into
large groups. As the scientists fled screaming from the building, a few
clever minds noticed that the Skittles were highly reactive. When four
of the same type of Skittle touched, they would instantly vaporize.
There's only one hope left for the Skittles plant, its workers,
and the small city that they inhabit. Vaporize the Skittles before they
run rampant and destroy everything in their path! You are the only hope
left before they crush the entire city.

Subject: [*] System Log version 1.1
This archive contains the latest versions of the AppleScript applets Startup
Log
and Shutdown Log.
Startup Log and Shutdown Log are AppleScript applets that log the date and time
of your Macintosh Systems startup and shutdown, respectively. The applets have
been modified to correct problems running the applets on non-US Macintosh
systems. The applets require AppleScript and the "Read/Write Commands"
scripting addition.

Subject: [*] Tim's Calculator 1.3
I couldn't find the "ideal" calculator, so I wrote my own. This one is
heavy on simplicity and elegance (no buttons that no one understands) and
has a running "tape" display. Also has lots of programmer's functions. I
like it. You might too.
This version (1.2) supports international number formats and lets you save
the default settings (window placement, base, etc) for new calculators.
Shareware: $15.00

Subject: [*] X-Win Color Scheme for Kaleidoscope
Color Scheme for Kaleidoscope 1.0
Version 1.0 -Initial Release
What is it?
X-Win is my first color scheme. It's one of the few schemes I can
stand to look at for any length of time yet is not similar to the
beloved Aaron-esque schemes. It's supposed to look like a X-Window
environment... read on if you wanna know why...
Why is it called X-Win?
I always thought X-Win was a cool platform because of the change in
color from the passive window to the active window on mouseover (yes I
know this scheme doesn't do the mouseover thing but that's Apple's
deal, not mine. I would if I knew how...) so instead I have a definite
"active" window to help you know where you are and "deaden" the rest of
the windows black. (It also uses that neat little "X" as an icon.) I
recommend the "Silver" Accent color.
What have I done to make X-Win?
Gone to the edges of the earth...
How do I install X-Win?
Drag this into the Kaleidoscope Color Schemes folder, which is located
within your extensions folder, which is in your System Folder. Select
X-Win from Kaleidoscope. (It's probably the last one.)
Do I need to pay anything for this Color Scheme?
No. But email is always cool.

Subject: [*] YA-NewsWatcher version 2.4.0
Yet Another NewsWatcher is a Usenet newsreader application for
Macintosh. Its features include automatic viewing of downloaded images,
binary and anonymous remailer posting, flexible article filtering (kill
files) and sorting, support for PGP via AppleScript, reference-based
threading, and comprehensive multiple character set support for reading
and posting in non-English language and non-latin alphabet newsgroups.
Yet Another NewsWatcher 2.4.0 is my expression of thanks to those people
who have supported past versions of YA-NewsWatcher by registering it and
by being good net citizens and helping others use and enjoy the program.
YA-NewsWatcher requires at least 1700 kB of free RAM, a 68020 or better
or PowerPC processor, and System 7.1 or later. The image display
features require QuickTime 2.5 or later and the Thread Manager. Like
original NewsWatcher, it also requires a Macintosh with a hard drive.
The Mac must be connected to the Internet, and MacTCP or Open Transport
must be properly installed and configured.
YA-NewsWatcher is distributed as a "fat binary." This means that it runs
in native 68K mode on Motorola 68K Macintoshes, and it runs in native
PowerPC mode on Power Macintoshes. It also runs in native Open Transport
mode on Macintoshes running Open Transport.
Version 2.4.0 is a bugfix and feature improvement release.
