Marauding insects swarm into your hive, and it's up to you to defend it from crazed bees, hornets, spiders, armored beetles, and hoards of other crawling and flying invaders. The survival of the hive is in your hands! FEATURES OF BUMBLER BEE-LUXE INCLUDE: * Over a dozen types of attacking insects, from the realistic to the outrageous: huge centipedes, moths that catch fire and burn, deadly hornets, mysterious glowing orbs, marching ants, robotic bees, and lots more. * Absolutely top-notch graphics. The visuals in Bumbler Classic drew raves, and now they're even better. * Stereo sound with real-time panning for a truly immersive experience. * Finely tuned and addictive gameplay. * Plays at a blazing 60 frames per second for silky smooth animation. * Catchy, custom-composed theme music. * Unlimited wild and varied levels, including choreographed bonus rounds and specialty swarms. * A screen-saver mode to let you show off your Mac. With version 1.0.1 performance has been improved on low-end 603-based Power Macs, some swarms have had their difficulty levels reduced, and a "crash on quit" bug that showed up on about 1 in 100 machines has been splatted.

On a complex project, there could be a dozen or more separate issues being dealt with at the same time, each of which has its own distinct status and decision process. Wouldn't it be great to be able to pull up the history of each of these issues at any time? Digital Diary=81 organizes note entries into project and day files so tha= t current reports of all activities on any given day or project can be instantly viewed. Projects are organized under user-defined categories in a hierarchical pop-up menu. Projects can be easily transferred between categories, making it ideal for use as a convenient project status indicator. Entries are identified with a header containing the type of activity, project name, category, note number, and date and time of entry. 'To do list' entries will pop up to remind you of unattended items at a chosen future date. Versatile report generation can gather, for example, all notes of a given activity type or project status. While most personal information managers focus on scheduling and contacts management, Digital Diary concentrates on keeping an organized record of your work, allowing you quick and easy retrieval of a project's history when most needed. Here are a few of the many uses of Digital Diary=81: Business, Sales, and Consulting: * Project activities and decisions * Upcoming deadlines, meetings, and appointments * Telephone and meeting records * Discussions with suppliers, consultants, clients and co-workers * Decisions made and communicated to clients, co-workers, and subordinates * Directions received from clients, authorities, and management * Decision / activity 'streams' relating to issues within a project US$30.00 Demo version available for free downloading from "http://www.canadawired.com/gta" GTA Data Services; #202-1260 Hamilton St.; Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 2T= 2; tel: 604-682-6929 fax: 604-682-2383 E-mail: GTA@canadawired.com [Archived as /info-mac/app/bus/digital-diary-183.hqx; 591K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 12:03:16 -0700 From: sato@het02.ph.tsukuba.ac.jp Subject: [*] freebytes-132.hqx FreeBytes is a tiny program which indicates 'free bytes' of the current volume and free space of RAM available on the computer.

This allows for more keyboard navigation. For example, the traditional "Save before closing?" dialog asks to "Save", "Cancel" or "Don't Save". Save is typically the default key (return) and Cancel the cancel (escape), but there is no keyboard way to hit Don't Save. Enter HCmdButtonAttachment. With HCmdButtonAttachment, you can give any LControl a command-key shortcut. You can specify the key to be the first letter/character of the control's descriptor or it can be a character of your own arbitrary specification. You can also have the title of the control change to display the shortcut or not, and do so after a user-configurable amount of time. This archive includes the HCmdButtonAttachment sources, a custom CTYP file for use with Constructor 2.4 or later, and an example application to demonstrate the class.

Features: - Utilizes offscreen GWorlds for smooth scrolling of text. - Uses text Handles for an amount of text limited only by available memory. - Utilizes modifier keys to modify scrolling behavior (increase scrolling speed, scroll left to right, pause scrolling). Can be used in About boxes for scrolling credits, in JavaScript implementations for the scrolling caption, in applications that need ticker-tape-style animations, or anywhere a marquee-style sign and animation is desired. The HMarqueeCaption distribution contains the HMarqueeCaption class, a CTYP resource for easier editing in Metrowerks Constructor, and a demonstration application to show just how easy it is to use HMarqueeCaption (made with CodeWarrior Professional 1).

Using LSharable and TSharablePtr, the concept of reference counting makes this all possible. HSharableResource strives for minimal reliance upon PowerPlant and could possibly be used in non-PowerPlant contexts. HSharablePicture is a variant upon PowerPlant's LPicture class. It utilizes HSharableResource to manage the 'PICT' resource so it can clean up after itself. The distribution contains the HSharableResource source, the HSharablePicture source, a CTYP file for HSharablePicture, and a small demonstration application. The files in the archive were created with CodeWarrior Professional 1. For complete information, please read the README file enclosed in the archive. Thanx, and enjoy! John C.

It is primarily oriented towards 'STR#' resources, but the class can be easily modified to suit any similar such need. HStringList can handle the read/write of the resource, management of it, use of Pascal-style or C-style strings. It strives to offer a lot of functionality and flexibility. One could easily extend the class's functionality to suit just about any string-list management needs. Due to developments in PowerPlant, HStringList requires at least PowerPlant v1.8 (part of CodeWarrior Professional 2).

SPD stands for "Standard Procedural Database", and is a suite of applications that can automatically create complex and interesting scene files for many different ray tracers. Some of the output formats include DXF, QuickDraw3D/3DMF, VRML 2, POV-Ray, RTrace, Renderman RIB, etc. SPD comes with complete source code in C, so you can study it, or build your own applications with it. SPD is not shareware or freeware, it is Public Domain, which means you have unrestricted rights to do whatever you want with it! SPD has been compiled to run on any 68020 or better computer, no FPU required. It runs fine under System 7 or 8, and runs fine (emulated) on PowerPCs. * What Is It Useful For? It was originally written to create standardized benchmark scenes for different raytracers on different computer platforms. You could use it to test your own ray tracer, to insure it handles complex reflection and refraction, and multiple light sources, and different primitive shapes. It contains a powerful general-purpose library for creating many types of primitive objects & writing to many raytracer file formats. You could use this library to write your own auto-scene-generators. It comes with several file-format readers (DXF, NFF, Wavefront OBJ), and you could add more and use this as a general-purpose file format converter, read in one scene file format and write to any other scene file format.

PushBtnBach will keep generating new minuets in the style of Bach as long as you can keep pressing the Compose button. Version 2.0 introduces a "continuous mode" in which it keeps generating and playing without intervention. The revamped user interface adds drag-and-drop and OS 8 support, and a new installer makes it easier to get going. Other features include saving as type 1 or type 0 standard MIDI files, real-time instrumentation changes, and a preview of some of the options available with the non-shareware version (check the Options item under the PushBtnBach menu). Note that MIDI Manager, while not required, is recommended and the installer will install this extension. The program uses a small subset of functions from the Y.M.E. toolkit (YAV Music Engine) to generate a Bach-like menuet using a structural model. This semantic description is expressed in "YMTDL" ("YAV's Music Transformation Description Language"). Generating music from a model is an entirely different approach to that employed by the companion program CyberMozart (which simply simulates the tossing of dice to re-arrange existing musical fragments stored as MIDI chunks, much like the approach taken by many interactive music CD-ROMs which use digital audio chunks insteac of MIDI). The pair of programs (PushBtnBach and CyberMozart) illustrate the difference between the infinite world of interactive music and the finite world of interactive audio. PushBtnBach a great way to obtain license-free music for your multimedia production. Just be sure to mention how it was created.
