Subject: [*] MacWaves v2.1 IRC utility, sound and wave player for Macintosh
MacWaves is an IRC utility that automates many tasks that previously
required tedious typing, and adds many new features to Macintosh IRC never
before available. MacWaves has taken Macintosh IRC from lagging behind it's
PC counterparts to setting a standard to be emulated by PC programmers!
MacWaves is the ultimate electronic diplomat, making seamless use of
AppleScript communications pipelines to tightly integrate itself with Onno
Tijdgat's ircle and Norman Franke's SoundApp, thus allowing Macintosh users
to effortlessly play and share sound files of many different formats on IRC
(including aiff, midi, wave and Mac OS sounds).
MacWaves uses an autoloading IRC event-handler in ircle 3.0 which passes
events to MacWaves and permits the user to automate many functions such as
ping, autogreet notice, part notice, whois on notify, automatic signon and
change of IRC servers, single-click file requests online, automatic
dcc-sends of requested files, single-click play of sound files,
user-friendly popups and single-click manual dcc-send of files.
MacWaves can play and get files and popups in any channel, query or
dcc-chat window. Furthermore, users can distribute their sound files among
any of 7 folders, a first for IRC sound players!
This is only a small sampling of the capabilities of MacWaves. Please visit
my web page at
http://home.earthlink.net/~aragorn2 for full details, and most important of
all, enjoy MacWaves v2.1!
It was created for your IRC enjoyment! :)

Subject: [*] 1997 Hubble Space Telescope Images
This Hyperstudio stack allows one to view some of the images taken by the
Hubble Space Telescope in 1997. Each image is accompanied by a caption
that gives information about the image. I obtained permission from the
Space Telescope Science Institute and NASA to compile this information
into a tutorial presentation. More of their astronomical images can be
seen at their web site at www.stsci.edu.
The tutorial is for educational use. A worksheet is included with the
stack which can be filled out by students as they view it. Hyperstudio
Player 3.1 is needed to view the stack. The included worksheet is in two
formats, Claris Works 4.0 and Simple Text. This entire package is
freeware and can be distributed to anyone who is interested.

Subject: [*] BBEdit Plug-Ins for MacPerl Rel. 6.0
I have written several BBEdit plug-ins that facilitate the use of BBEdit and
BBEdit Lite with MacPerl (a Macintosh port of the Perl programming language).
This is release 6.0 of the plug-ins. The plug-ins included are:
1. Run MacPerl (version 1.2) - updated
2. Check Perl Syntax (version 1.2) - updated
3. Run MacPerl Front (version 1.2) - updated
4. Run File with MacPerl (version 1.2) - updated
5. Edit MacPerl Script (version 1.0.2)
6. Shuck (version 1.0.1) - updated
7. Perl Filters (version 1.1.4) - updated
8. Perl Palette (version 3.1 by Lindsay Davies)
Some changes from the previous release are:
1. The plug-ins will attempt to launch MacPerl if it is not running when used
with BBEdit Lite (formerly the plug-ins would only attempt to launch MacPerl
when used with BBEdit, not BBEdit Lite).
2. An option was added to the Run MacPerl plug-in to send STDOUT and STDERR to a
file with a name based on the name of the file containing the script that is
run.
3. The Run MacPerl plug-in is scriptable.
4. BBEdit file groups are listed in the floating window of the Perl Filters
plug-in.
The plug-ins are freeware. More information is available on my BBEdit plug-ins

Subject: [*] BYGONES
Bygones Relived. Desktop pictures for OS8
A stunning series of four desktop pictures with a geneological theme
reflecting life in an age before computers. Each picture in this series
has been carefully composed so that it has a story woven into it,
poignant, amusing, and showing that life's challenges were not so very
different way back when. This series is designed for use using the OS8
Desktop Pictures control panel or with a utility such as Decor by
Francois Pottier. The images have been saved at 1024 x 768 pixels so
that they will still look stunning on monitors up to 21-inches. They are
best viewed in thousands or
millions of colors. They may be somewhat grainy if viewed at 8-bit
depth.
If you like these desktop pictures and wish to keep them, please honor
the shareware system.

Subject: [*] DesignWorks
DesignWorks offers you the Best User Interface, bar none, for schematic
capture. The powerful interface provides seamless integration with all
your engineering tools. DesignWorks doesn't just provide an environment
for a single goal. It allows you to recapture your investment dollars by
being flexible enough to handle all your design goals, be the goal a PCB
design, Spice analysis, or FPGA design.
DesignWorks is a multi-platform, intuitive schematic development
environment. You can now purchase DesignWorks for Macintosh or Microsoft
Windows (3.1/95/NT). Better yet, you can work in a mixed mode
environment; schematics and libraries are usable on either platform
without translation. This is finally the answer to a split work
environment, be the split across the office, between work and home, or
across the
country.

Subject: [*] FileT&C 2.2.0
=46ileT&C is an useful application for changing file type and/or creator=8A
It's very useful for normal desktop usage, but is really cool when works,
fine, fast and in background, with a lot of files. Also it can scan,
quickly, disks and folders looking for files to treat...
=46ileT&C is Internet Config aware and has a couple of options to change,
according to name extension, following the Internet Config's File Mapping
setting.
=46ileT&C has some useful hot keys for changing, on the fly skipping the
"Request Dialog", by using the preferred type and/or creator set in the
preferences and for modifying the preferences before changing. You can
also instruct it to ignore during its performance, some kind of files or
to treat only some other specific types.
=46ileT&C is Macintosh Drag and Drop aware, Appearance savvy and requires at
least System 7 to run.

Kaleidoscope 2.0.1 -- Shareware $25
by Greg Landweber and Arlo Rose
Kaleidoscope is the ultimate in user interface customization, letting you
switch between completely different designs provided by plug-in files
called "Schemes". Kaleidoscope comes with eight schemes, including the Mac
OS 8, System 7, and Be OS interfaces, as well as five radically new designs
by Arlo Rose, formerly of Apple's Human Interface Design Center. There are
also several thousand third party schemes available on the Kaleidoscope
Scheme Archive and elsewhere.
Version 2.0 introduced an new scheme format allowing for non-rectangular
windows, enhanced menus, background patterns, custom cursors, and much
more. Version 2.0.1 is a maintenance release fixing crashes when
registering, crashes in Internet Explorer, Netscape, and ICQ, and various
other minor glitches. It also brings back the Onyx, Ice, and Sherbet
schemes, and the installer is more robust.

Subject: [*] macchess4.exa.hqx - MacChess4-ExaChess interface
MacChess-ExaChess Interface Patch (Requires Power Macintosh)
THIS FILE IS NOT STANDALONE. It requires:
A) MacChess 4.0 - a free master-strength Power Macintosh chess program
available from http://members.aol.com/Macchess/
B) ExaChess 1.2 - a great Mac chess database program, available in both
free ("Lite") and commercial ("Pro") format.
The patched MacChess (MacChess 4.0.exa) works with either.
ExaChess Lite is at http://www.exachess.com/
This patch modifies MacChess 4.0 so it can communicate with ExaChess.
That's all. You only need this patch if you plan to use MacChess with
ExaChess on a Power Macintosh.
You might want to use MacChess 4.0.exa to:
1) Analyze games in an ExaChess database with MacChess.
2) Conduct an automatic match between MacChess and another ExaChess
compatible chess program (Crafty, GNUChess, ZZZZZZ)
3) Play MacChess yourself using the ExaChess interface. In particular,
the ExaChess board is resizable (unlike MacChess's) and can be
made very large.
The modified version of MacChess 4.0 (MacChess 4.0 exa) is not to be
distributed except with ExaChess, or to people who already have ExaChess.

Subject: [*] MusicMentor 1.1
MusicMentor is a shareware HyperCard stack to help music students learn to
read written music quickly. It shows a note on a music stave and asks the
user to click on the corresponding key on the three octave piano keyboard
within a certain time. The user can change the amount of time allowed for
each note, and also decide whether to be tested on whole notes,
sharps/flats, or both. MusicMentor remembers and tests more frequently on
the notes which each user gets wrong. This version of MusicMentor remembers
test results and missed notes for any number of different players, so that
in a class or home situation where there are several MusicMentor users and
only one computer, each user can still have his or her own results stored.
MusicMentor 1.1 requires a 640x400 or larger screen, and HyperCard or
HyperCard Player 2.1 or later.
MusicMentor may be included in any CD-ROM, provided I get a copy of the CD.

Subject: [*] PopChar Pro 1.1.1
This is PopChar Pro version 1.1.1.
PopChar Pro is the successor of the freeware control panel
PopChar Lite by Guenther Blaschek.
PopChar Pro extends your menu bar with a menu that shows all characters
available in the current font. Select a character from that menu to "type"
it into the currently edited text.
New in version 1.1.1:
Problems fixed:
* Changes to the default font size in the control panel sometimes had
no effect.
* PopChar Pro couldn't find the current font in Excel 8 and PowerPoint 8
(MS Office 98).
* In rare cases, a crash could occur if PopChar Pro was invoked when the
menu bar had not yet been draw.
* The characters in the PopChar Pro menu were illegible when a
Kaleidoscope scheme with a dark menu background was in use.
* The PopChar Pro Floater caused annoying beeps as long as the
"Save changes?" dialog of ClarisWorks was displayed.
* Improved recognition of the current font in Adobe Illustrator and
FrameMaker.
New Features:
* PopChar Pro now "speaks Swedish" (thanks, Peter Lindstr=F6m!).
* PopChar Pro now comes with LogoFont-Euro, a font with many symbols,
in particular with multiple variants of the new Euro currency symbol.
* If PopChar Pro was already registered, the Installer now shows
"-already registered-" as serial number and allows the user to
re-register with a new serial number.
* Registered users can now use the PopChar Pro Update Installer for
updating changed parts of a new release.
PopChar Pro is distributed by UNI SOFTWARE PLUS. This submission contains th=
e
PopChar Pro Installer that will ask for a serial number. If you don't have a
serial number, the installer will create a full-featured but time-limited de=
mo.

***Tex-Edit Plus is a winner of the MUT 1996 Shareware Awards.
****Tex-Edit Plus is a winner of the MacUser 1995 Shareware Awards.
Tex-Edit Plus is a scriptable, styled text editor that fills the gap between

cleaning up text which is transmitted over the Internet.
Features: PowerPC native (fat), extensive munging abilities, unlimited file
size, Drag&Drop support, AppleScript support, Word Services support, Speech
Manager support, picture handling, sound handling, ability to create
SimpleText Read-Only documents, and much more. System 7.0 or better

when saved. Print options are now part of the page setup dialog. There are
several improvements to the printing routines, including the ability to
print odd or even pages. Search backwards with the Find Previous command.
Many more keyboard shortcuts have been added and scriptability has been
greatly expanded! See the Revision History for all the other improvements
and fixes. (Version 2.3.2 fixed an ImageWriter printing bug. Version 2.3.1
removed a couple of minor file compatibility problems with version 2.3.)
RECENT CHANGES -- Tex-Edit Plus is PowerPC and 68K native (fat), MacOS 8.x
compatible, scriptable, recordable and attachable. Extensive multi-file
search & replace capabilities are supported.
DRAG & DROP -- Apple's Drag Manager is supported. Give it a try!
SPEECH -- Apple's Speech Manager (PlainTalk) is supported. If you wish to

Manager.
With Tex-Edit Plus you can:

* View and print TeachText or SimpleText read-only ("ReadMe") documents,
including pictures.
* Easily create your own SimpleText read-only documents, including pictures.

This is the Japanese version of the URL Manager Pro package, the
professional bookmark manager for the Macintosh for use with Netscape
Navigator and Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
"In the shareware arena, my pick is URL Manager" - says Adam C. Engst, Tidbits.
"You have got me addicted" - Henry Norr, MacWeek
"Four Mice" - MacUser Software Central, July 1997
Guy's Favorite Software - Guy Kawasaki
URL Manager Pro (tm) is an Apple Macintosh program for managing Uniform
Resource Locators (URLs), the universal address format of the Internet. URL
Manager is a full-featured, standalone Macintosh application that allows
users to create a single, highly flexible repository for maintaining URLs.
In particular, URL Manager offers tight integration with Netscape Navigator,
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Claris Emailer and Eudora for effortless
management of Internet addresses.
URL Manager Pro 2.0 supports the new Mac OS 8. It features the new
Appearance Look and Feel, Contextual Menus and works with Apple's Internet
Address Detectors.
URL Manager Pro offers a substantial number of features, including finding
and deleting duplicate bookmarks, saving via FTP, a new Control Strip Module
called Mondriaan, and is Kaleidoscope-savvy.
URL Manager Pro has garnered many glowing accolades in the Macintosh press,
including TidBits and MacMagazin, and featured in Guy Kawasaki's keynote at
the MacWorld Expo in Boston.
Changes in version 2.0.5:
* Chuq Von Rospach has updated the Apple Public Web Sites URL Manager document.
* A very good tutorial of URL Manager Pro is available from the MacAssistant
Web Site.
* Improved the highlighting of bookmarks. URL Manager Pro uses the highlight
color (see example below) specified by the Appearance Control Panel.
* New implementation of "Grab All" for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
* I have setup the URL Manager Pro discussion list. Enter the command
subscribeURL-Manager-Pro-Talk in the body of a message and send it to:
I will post messages regarding beta releases and
updates to the list.
* So-called 'Live Scrolling' under Mac OS 8 Systems! Note: The option
"System-wide platinum appearance" in the Appearance Control Panel must also
be checked.

Subject: [*] Witchdoctor 1.0.1
Witchdoctor is a program that allows the user to manipulate files in
several way by means of plug-ins. It has two kind of plug-ins: Watcher (the
plug-in that does everything) and Module (a plug-in containing resources).
You may create plug-ins, quickly and easily using Witchdoctor itself. After
its creation a Watcher can perform up to five series of actions:
1) Nothing. Two ways file conversion (docA<->docB). One way file conversion
(docA->docB, docB->docA). According to file opened, and following the
plug-in setting, Witchdoctor may change Finder Infos, add resources from a
Module or may zap the whole Res Fork. For 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, and it will output a
self-extractor, and vice versa. You may also create simple de-sea plug-ins
or else custom plug-ins to just change types and creators of specific files.
2) File filter. The Watcher, here, may stop itself or else continuing
according to its setting.
3) Nothing. File's Finder flag bits changing (stationery, locked, invisible
and so on). The Watcher allows you to change all bits or else what you want.
4) Nothing. Type and/or Creator changing. Unlike the first action, here the
Watcher may change without perform any check.
5) Nothing. File deletion. Direct file launching. File launching by means
of alternate applications. File duplication. File trashing. File copying.
Alias creation.
You may select manually the plug-in that should work, or let Witchdoctor
choose the appropriate one. 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 alternative
applications. And so on...
Last but not least, Witchdoctor may create Witchcraft! Witchcrafts are
stand-alone applications containing a Watcher and, optionally, a Module.
You may create Witchcrafts as 68K, PPC or FAT application type. They work
just as a Watcher selected manually. As bonus Witchcrafts may contain
custom About boxes.
Both Witchdoctor and Witchcraft may work on folders!
Witchdoctor is Internet Config aware, Appearance Savvy and requires at
least System Seven to run. Think different, use Witchdoctor!
