the presence of your Mac when it plays.

Subject: [*] Keep Trying 1.0.2

Keep Trying! is a utility for anyone who uses a phone.

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
* You're trying to phone your girl/boyfriend, but the line's always busy
because he/she is always using the phone or online?
* You're trying to get through to some company's technical support phone
number, but there's no answer because all their lines are in use?
* You finally get through on a call, but you're put on hold, and you end up
looking like Quasimodo because you spend a geological era holding the
receiver up to your ear with your shoulder while you try to get some work
done at the keyboard, listening endlessly to "Your call is important to
us..."?

"Keep Trying!" is the solution. Keep Trying! (KT) is a utility for dialing
phone numbers through your modem. This in itself is not unique; some Address
Book programs and other utilities include such a feature. The distinguishing
features of KT, however, are the ways in which it removes the frustration of
"getting through" to a hard-to-reach party. If the number you're trying to
call is busy, or there is no answer, KT will automatically retry the number
repeatedly, at intervals you control. You can set how many attempts to make,
whether to retry after a busy signal or no-answer or both, and different wait
intervals for a busy signal and a no-answer. You don't even need to pick up
the phone until your call goes through successfully. You just leave KT
running in the background while you get on with your life; the program will
automatically (you guessed it) "keep trying!". Additionally, KT has a unique
"listen in" option that could literally save your neck the next time you're
put on hold for an indeterminate period. By activating this feature when
you're asked to "please stay on the line...", you can hang up the phone's
receiver and listen in on the line through your modem's speaker. You can then
go about your business in comfort until you hear a (non-recorded) person come
on the line.

Keep Trying! is a must-have, not only for people who make a lot of phone
calls, but for anyone who has ever suffered the frustration of making a
"simple telephone call".

Keep Trying is a joint production of programmer Karl Bunker and sound
engineer Larry Lloyd.

Minimum requirements: A Mac with 16 colors/grays or better, System 7.1 or
later, a modem and a phone on the same line as the modem.

This is version 1.0.2 of Keep Trying! This version fixes a problem with the
display of long phone numbers, such as those including Calling Card account
numbers.

Shareware; $10.00.

Subject: [*] KnowledgeMiner 2.0 Released

KnowledgeMiner 2.0 the Revolutionary Modeling and
Prediction Tool for Macintosh Computers

KnowledgeMiner is a powerful, easy-to-use modeling and
prediction tool which was designed to support the knowledge
extraction process from data in a highly automated way. It
works using two advanced self-organizing modeling
technologies: Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) and
Analog Complexing. This is the first time that both of these
algorithms have been available on any computer platform.

Built on the cybernetic principles of self-organization,
KnowledgeMiner brings high-end modeling capabilities to your
desktop without the need for an expert. It can learn completely
unknown relationships between the outputs and inputs of a given
system in an evolutionary way from a very simple organization
to an optimally complex one by itself.

KnowledgeMiner has been used successfully for analysis and
prediction in the fields of finance, economics, imaging,
ecology, health, biotechnology, chemistry, math and many
others. Professionals in many areas can benefit by downloading
and trying out the examples then using this tool to mine their
own field for new relationships.

In comparison with statistical modeling tools and neural
networks KnowledgeMiner stands out as easier, faster and more
applicable to a wide range of real-world problems since it
creates the model structure or network topology automatically
without predefinition. This makes KnowledgeMiner the least
expensive and most effective modeling and prediction tool
available on any platform.

KnowledgeMiner, published papers, resumes and numerous examples
are available at:

Subject: [*] MiniCalendar 2.0, Now Kaleidoscope Savvy

Announcing the release of MiniCalendar 2.0.  MiniCalendar is your
ordinary Kaleidoscope savvy system calendar.  Its main goal is to
provide the user with a basic calendar for any month between January
1582 and December 29940.

MiniCalendar is not designed to replace full function date books,
rather it is designed to complement such programs.  Programs such as
Claris Organizer or Now Up-To-Date excel at managing appointments and
dates, but are clumsy when it comes to looking up what day your
birthday is going to fall on next year. MiniCalendar fills this niche
nicely.  Since MiniCalendar is small and easy enough to use, you will
want to leave it running so you will always have access to a calendar.

As an added bonus, if you are a Kaleidoscope user, MiniCalendar 2.0
will use the current Kaleidoscope color scheme  to create a more
unified system appearance. You will want to check out this feature.

Who will use MiniCalendar?

  - Users who need to look up dates, but do not need a full scale date book
  - Kaleidoscope / Aaron users who want a more unified system appearance
  - Users who want to show off to their PC friends that the Mac is not only
year
    2000 compliant but year 29940 compliant!
  - Or anyone who needs quick access to a calendar

New in Version 2.0

  - Removed support for the now defunct Better Beeps.
  - Supports Kaleidoscope / Aaron color schemes.
  - Users can enhance the display by using the system utility pattern
  - Added support for MacOS 8.0
  - Increased reliability in low memory situations
  - Now includes Catara=81 Registration System
  - Various other improvements and bug fixes

System Requirements

  - 680x0 or PPC
  - Color Quickdraw
  - System 7 or MacOS 8.0
  - 256K of Free Memory

Subject: [*] Mortgage Maker 2.0

Mortgage Maker 2.0  - estimates the various costs of a home mortgage at the time
of closing. It computes the "qualifying ratios" which lenders use to evaluate a
mortgage application. Its Backsolve feature answers questions like "how much
house can I afford on this income?" For refinances, the program compares the net
monthly payment situation with and without the refinance. The program is useful
for homeowners and prospective homeowners who need a quick way to analyze a
purchase or refinance, and for financial and real estate professionals who need
to print analyses for clients. Mortgage Maker is freeware for personal use and
shareware for real estate and financial professionals.
