I finally decided that I wasn't very good at it. I played the actual game well enough, but it always seemed that my decks were pretty weak. So, I made the Book of Decks. Essentially it is a database of all of the Magic: The Gathering=81 cards available. It also allows you to select from these cards to assemble your own decks. As you assemble your decks the software gives you feedback that helps you see your decks' weaknesses and strengths. It will also give you suggestions to help you improve your deck. It's a valuable tool.

Extension Overload is a "self-reading" document with lots of information about all the system extensions and control panels that are littering the System folder of every Macintosh. Extension Overload v3 cover all Extensions and Control Panel from Mac OS 7, 7.5, 7.6, 8, 8.1,8.5 and iMac. Extension Overload conviniently lists them by name and explains their purpose. That way you (the user) can decide whether to keep a certain control panel or extension or not. Additionally, Extension Overload contains information about Mac error codes, Easter Eggs (little gimmicks hidden somewhere in the software) and other useful things. Currently Extension Overload reviews 666 extensions and 245 control panels - of course this does not mean that all of them are in the system folder of your Macintosh=8A ;-) Why use Extension Overload ? Control panels and extensions serve one purpose: They "extend" the operation system of your Macintosh and provide additional functions to the user and to programs running on your machine. =46or example, the QuickTime=81 extension allows the Simple Text application= to play movies, something that would be impossible otherwise. However, often some control panels and extensions get installed which are not necessary for a certain Mac model or application. (Obviously, if you don't have a network, you don't need network software.) On the downside, control panels and extensions eat up space on the harddisk and in memory. Even worse, some extensions and control panels sometimes conflict with each other, causing your Mac to crash. Installing too much extensions and control panels will also slow down your computer. In these situation Extension Overload helps you to find out, which items in yor system folder you actually need and which ones you can safely remove to keep your system small and efficient. But even if you are just curious what all the items in the system folder do, Extension Overload is for you. Therefore, Extension Overload is useful if: * you keep recovering from a crash. * you are trying to solve an extension conflict. * you want to make your system use as less RAM as possible. * you want to save disk space by deleting unnessecary files. * you want to know what all the items do. * you are an experienced user who just needs a handy reference. * you want to learn your way around the machine.

It should run fine on any 68K or PPC Mac with a color monitor and at least 8MB of RAM. The goal of the test is to derive an estimate of each student's knowledge of basic French grammar and vocabulary, for comparative purposes. Since almost nobody wants to be placed in a course that is too advanced, security concerns are minimal. Most of the test consists of fill-in-the-blank exercises. The recorded dialogue on which the listening comprehension questions are based is about one minute long, and that accounts in part for the larger size of this file. Test-takers are prompted to print their results at the conclusion of the test. We hope that you find this program helpful, or at least amusing.

You can "fly" through and around the attractors using the same controls used in popular 3D games like Marathon or Quake. And it can go into full-screen mode if you have QuickTime installed. It looks really cool! This application was inspired by Hiroki Mori's Lorenz Attractor for BeOS. My version is more feature-packed and runs on the MacOS. It runs at nearly the same speed as the BeOS version does. This software is freeware, but if you plan on including it on a CD I'd appreciate a copy. Or at least let me know you're distributing it.

It fixes a problem where it wouldn't run on systems earlier than MacOS 8.5. Gerry's Mandelbrot Set is a powerful, yet easy to use fractal image generator for the Power Macintosh with the Appearance Manager installed. Don't let the name fool you. This application renders more than just the Mandelbrot Set. It creates a variety of Fractals including: Julia Sets, IFS images, a Fractal Tree, The Lorenz Attractor, the Feignbaum Bifurcation diagram, The Newton's Method for finding the roots of a polynomial fractal, and Martin's Mapping (A.K.A. Hopalong). AND EVEN MORE THAN THAT, it creates QuickTime movies of any of the above fractals (except the tree). You can change just about any parameters over time! (common sense says certain ones can not change over time, however) This software is freeware, but if you plan on including it on a CD I'd appreciate a copy.

It can be freely distributed in electronic form on computer networks, on magnetic media or on CD-ROM, provided the "Read Me" file is included Target directory: _Graphic_&_Sound_Tool (gst) or _Development (dev) Text blurb: Leonardo is an integrated environment for the development and the animation of C programs. It includes in the same executable file: - a text editor with syntax coloring - a compiler for the ANSI C language (with some restrictions on the available standard libraries) - a reversible virtual CPU - a simple operating system for process, I/O and memory management - an integrated knowledge-based visualization system - a simple graph editor Here are Leonardo's main peculiarities: - it allows you to edit, compile and execute large and complex C programs on the virtual CPU. - It's a multitasking environment. - Programs can be executed both forwards and backwards: it is possible to reverse the execution of a program at any time by means of a VCR-style control tool. - programs can be animated by embedding in the C source special declarations written in a simple logic programming language called Alpha. - Leonardo comes with many built-in animations: the "Programs" menu offers to you a repository of examples ranging from classical algorithms to games such as Tetris and Checkers and some demos showing Leonardo's graphic capabilities.
