Subject: [*]  DoubletScan400.hqx

Find all kinds of duplicate files, identify unique files, and more!

Doublet Scan is a fast, easy, and professional way to find all kinds of
duplicate files and more on your hard disks. Compare the contents of files,
search for duplicate files and folders, unique files, unique folders, empty
files and empty folders.  Search for duplicate and/or unique files by:
name, size, data and/or resource fork, date created, date modified, type,
creator, label, custom icon, locked files, locked folders, invisible files,
invisible folders, aliases, compressed files, files without creator
application, and much more!
What's new version 4.0.0
Rewrote most of the code to make Doublet Scan compatible with OS X and to continue its 
compatibility on Classic Systems. Now the operating range is Mac OS 8.6 with CarbonLib 1.3
installed to OS X 10.1.4

Added the possibility to resize and change the position of the headers above the found list.

Swapped the "Window" menu with the "Advanced" menu. The "Window" menu now complies
with Apple's standards.

Added a preferences file, you no longer have to enter the registration code each time you
download a new version.

Other little changes and bug fixes.

Subject: [*] Alias Helper 1.2J - Japanese Version


This is the Japanese version of the AliasHelper package.

AliasHelper helps you manage aliases on your Mac.

AliasHelper is a Carbon application, so it works in native mode on OS 8.6, 9, and OS X.

Occasionally aliases lose their connection to the original file.  AliasHelper allows you to 
reestablish this connection, or instead delete the alias.

It's recommended you run AliasHelper a couple times a week to keep your system optimized.

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: [*] eMail Verifier-X 1.0

Max Programming, LLC - eMail Verifier-X v1.0                May, 14 2002
________________________________________________________________________

Maxprog is proud  to  present its new  product, eMail Verifier, the very
first tool available on the Macintosh platform for batch e-mail validity
checking. (Mac OS X only)

Overview

If your database contains incorrect e-mail addresses, this disadvantages
you in two ways.áFirst, you have to put up with annoying 'undeliverable'
messages.áAnd second,  you lose  the  ability  to communicate  by e-mail
with your contacts.áEmail Verifier checks the  validity  of your e-mail
addresses without actually sending  e-mails.  You  can  use the  list of
failed addresses  to build  a list  for  a 'please  update'  campaign.

Email Verifier is a very effective piece  of  software  that  can verify
over 10 e-mails per  second  . It  can  verify  single  e-mails  or huge
lists. (eMail Verifier is multithreaded, providing high speed verifying)

eMail Verifier works  on the  same  algorithm  as  ISP mail  systems do.
Addresses for e-mail are extracted  from  a Domain  Naming  Server (DNS)
and eMail Verifier tries to connect with SMTP-servers and  simulates the
sending of a message.  It  does  not send  the  message  though  - eMail
Verifier disconnects as soon as  the mail  server  informs  the  program
whether the address exists or not.

eMail  Verifier  can  save  time  and  money  for  businesses   who send
newsletters   to their   clients,   nonprofit   organizations   who send
bulletins to their members,  or any  person  or business  that  needs to
maintain a clean e-mail contact list.

Key features

- Batch verify big amounts of e-mail addresses.
- Check e-mail addresses for a valid Mail Exchanger.
- Check each e-mail address validity with its MX server.
- Sort all e-mail addresses by domain to speed all tests.
- Very fast and multithreaded
- Native version for MacOS X.

Subject: [*] FloatingNotes 1.3J - Japanese Version


This is the Japanese version of the FloatingNotes package.

4 Cows at Tucows!

What's the point of having notes if they're buried by other application
windows and you can't see them? Sure, Stickies is free, but
FloatingNotes "floats" on top of all other application windows so you
can always see them. FloatingNotes uses no system extension, and best of
all, FloatingNotes is a Carbon application so it works under OS X as
well!

FloatingNotes automatically saves all open notes when you quit.  To
delete a note, simply close the window.

FloatingNotes requires OS X, or OS 8.5 or 9 and CarbonLib 1.3 or later. 
CarbonLib is free and can be obtained from your "Software Update"
control panel.

Changes:

*Note window  transparency can be set in the preferences (Mac OS X only).

Subject: [*] Pacifist


Pacifist is an application which allows you to extract individual files 
out of .pkg installer packages, similar to the way the old TomeViewer 
let you open Tome files under Mac OS 9.
Here is a list of Pacifist's current features:

-  Lets you install individual items or folders from .pkg packages, 
either to their default install location or to a custom location you 
specify.
-  Follows all symlinks properly, instead of overwriting them like 
Installer.app does
-  Doesn't mess with existing folders, including their permissions
-  Correctly gives the sizes of a package, both compressed and 
uncompressed, instead of always saying 100 MB like Installer.app does
-  Displays total size of currently selected files, letting you know 
exactly how much space your installation will take on your hard disk. 
Dynamically updates this size as the selection changes.
-  Automatically converts AppleDouble files into resource forks and 
metadata when installing on HFS+ disks (leaves the files alone if 
installing on UFS)
-  Automatically updates prebinding information after installation to 
optimize system performance
-  Multiple document interface
-  Multi-threaded
-  Has a working search feature
-  Fixes a few of Apple's omissions in NSOutlineView, so command-left 
arrow and command-right arrow to collapse and expand items work, as does 
auto filename completion
-  Works with compressed or uncompressed packages
-  By default, prompts before replacing any files
-  Uses the Security Framework if the files will need to be installed as 
root
-  If you install a folder and the folder already exists, Pacifist 
installs the folder's contents and doesn't overwrite the parent folder. 
The exception is .app bundles, which by default will ask you what to do.
-  The buffer used when piping to pax is configurable, unlike 
command-line gzip, so you can tweak it to get faster decompression with 
gz-compressed packages
-  Most features can be turned off via preferences if you wish

Subject: [*] SimHarbour  CLASSIC, version 0.9b


The best looking and best
playing harbour simulation of all!
Featuring 120 ships, tons of buildings
and many more!

Intro
You are asked to build a harbour for a town near the Atlantic ocean.  The 
location is near the routes between Europe and America, so chances are good 
to get some shipping companies to use the harbour. You and your compagnions 
found a firm, the "SimHarbour Building and Construction Society" (SBCS) and 
with a starting capital of 200.000 from the City Council the work begin.

Playing SimHarbour
In the beginning there is water. Start the harbour from any side, but 
remember that the ocean is to the north, all floods, hurricans etc. will 
come from there. Use the tools to add piers, cranes and warehouses. Use the 
tool button with the little boat to set your company boat. Click on the boat 
for a popup with more items; you may use Shift-Arrowkeys to sail the boat. 
Make use of the Shift- and Optionkey with each tool; Shift-Lighthouse will 
bring a green one etc.

Tip:  Start it small, one pier with cranes and some warehouses should do 
fine.
Soon the first ships will make use of your harbour.  Small ships will come 
to simple piers, larger one need cranes and storeroom. Be sure to keep 
enough storeroom for the incomming ships. Oiltankers need Tanks, Cargo Ships 
warehouses etc. The message box will bring you information about the 
companies needs. Building houses like Fire Stations, Emergency Departements 
and Shipyards will raise the quality of your harbour and will attract more 
ships to come. After every year you will get a detailed report about income 
and expenses (not to forget taxes).  Use the statistical and financial 
charts to get informed about what is going on. Read the newspapers about the 
newest developments in the shipping world. Mr. Faraday, Mr. Goddard, Mr 
Marconi and Mr. Mendel from the SBCS will give you advice if needed, Mr. 
Pasteur speaks for the shipping firms and their interests.

Build a flourishing harbour !

System Hardware Requirements
SimHarbour requires any Macintosh computer (or compatible) with a color 
monitor.

This is the Japanese version of the Tex-Edit Plus package.

Tex-Edit Plus is a scriptable, styled text editor that fills the gap
between Apple's bare-bones SimpleText and a full-featured word
processor. It's fast, efficient, and has a clean, uncluttered interface.
It's also great for cleaning up text which is transmitted over the
Internet.

Tex-Edit Plus features: Extensive munging
abilities, unlimited file size, Drag&Drop support, AppleScript support,
Word Services support, Speech Manager support, picture handling, sound
handling, movie handling, ability to create SimpleText Read-Only
documents, and much more. 

Tex-Edit Plus can read and write UTF-16 (unicode) text. The new file
format is fully backward compatible with previous versions.

Tex-Edit Plus supports unlimited undo and redo.

Each paragraph can be formatted individually. These new paragraph
settings include text justification (left, center, right, full), space
above, space below, left indent, right indent, first line indent (or
hanging outdent), and bottom border (in one of several line styles).
Each paragraph can also have its own line spacing (in one point
increments) and dominant text direction (useful for right-to-left
scripts).

Web Site Maestro 1.0.1 (OSX)

What it is: Tool to check, optimize and upload your web pages
Author: Ton Brand
Company: Tonbrand Software
License: Shareware USD 22.00
Computer: PowerPC, iMac or iBook
Mac OSX: 10.1 or later
Abstract:
Web Site Maestro is a useful tool for those who update their web site(s)
regularly, especially for professional web masters with large sites. But
it's also very valuable for the amateur with a smaller web site who wants to
make sure that his or her site is always in top condition.
It checks your web pages for dangling tags, missing attributes and broken
links, and - most importantly - it makes your pages load faster by
optimizing both HTML and script code.
The program features Smart Handling which means that only the pages that you
have changed are processed, i.e checked and/or optimized.
Web Site Maestro helps you keep organized by creating a duplicate site
folder for the optimized files. An added benefit is that it leaves your
original files untouched.
Uploading your optimized pages to a remote server is done with one
mouseclick.
Drag and drop is supported.
Web Site Maestro comes in four version types; Mac Classic - PPC and 68K, Mac
OS X and Windows. The program is shareware and costs USD 22.00 for a Single
User license.

minutes of being loaded and it works with some websites (such as my 
bank) that it didn't work with before...

The bad news is a peculiar interaction with Default Folder that 
causes Microsoft Office 2001 applications to have trouble loading or 
behaving nicely. It also wants to trash Default Folder's preferences 
file (or cause an error claiming the preferences are trashed when 
they are not).

It doesn't work correctly with Webfree (the only useful advertising 
banner blocker I've found so far). Webfree works, but with Netscape 
6, WebCT becomes unreachable (with Netscape 4.7, I do have to turn 
off the "block the following tags" feature in order to use WebCT, but 
that's not much trouble at all.

Netscape 6 also is a horror of a RAM hog. It wants twice the RAM of 
version 4.7.

I'm using MacOS 8.6 on a G3 at home. I've got 9.2 running at the 
office on a G4. I haven't really had a chance to run Netscape 6 
through it's paces at the office. It's conceivable that I can solve 
some of the problems by upgrading my OS at home.

What have your experiences been with Netscape 6.2.2? I do have IE 5, 
but I prefer Netscape (when I can get it to work!).

Subject: NUTD/NUTS = What?

I find myself with a number of old (1985-87) files of type "NUTD" 
with the creator "NUTS", presumably some database files. Can anybody 
tell me what the appropriate APPLication is?

Subject: Share Win2000 external HD with Mac

I am trying to find a way to share an 80MB Firewire HD between a PC 
and a Mac so that I can conveniently move file between the PC and 
Mac. This is especially important when I have files with very long 
file names on Win2000 and want to move them to Mac OS X without 
losing the names.

I formatted the disk in NTFS. I then removed it from the PC and 
plugged it into the Mac. Mac OS 9 saw the disk but did not recognize 
the format and suggested I format the disk.

I formatted a 32 MB primary partition in Fat32. I then removed it 
from the PC and plugged it into the Mac. Mac OS 9 recognized and 
mounted the 32MB partition.

I then formatted the remaining HD into an extended partition, one 
32MB and one 10MB Fat32 logical disks. I then removed it from the PC 
and plugged it into the Mac. The Mac did not mount anything on the 
desktop (not even the 32MB primary partition that I saw previously). 
The Apple System Profiler did see 3 Firewire devices.

How should I prepare a HD so that I can see the whole disk both from 
a Mac and from a PC?

How will this be affected by OS X and by WinXP?

Regarding transfer of files with long names from Win2000 to Mac OS X: 
I can do it with ZIPs, not with CDs, not via a Novell network (since 
it seems to work through OS 9). The Mac and PC are physically close 
and both are connected to the same ethernet network (the PC is on a 
Novell server).

Thanks in advance for your advice!!

To have a cooler machine I bought a Coolpad     www.roadtools.com

There is a bundle with two support, one for home and one for the road.

The purpose of the support is to put the portable computer (either Mac or
PC) at an angle so air flows under it.

A somewhat drier solution is to raise the TiBook off the table ever so
slightly, I put mine on metal rails about 1/4" and it runs much cooler.
There is also a $230 rack for the TiBook and iBook, but that seems to be a
bit overkill
