Bedlam 2 is a fast action, arcade-style game with forty-five levels of blistering game play. Mankind has been virtually wiped out by an extraterrestrial armada! This shoot'em up game play puts you in the seat of the XJ-777, code-named "Annihilator". Only you can help save the solar system from ruthless alien domination. As you blast away at the invading forces, your ship moves along the bottom of the screen trying to avoid a barrage of enemy firepower, collisions with attacking ships and the occasional chunk of floating space debris. By racking up points along the way, you earn much-needed extra ships, and can even capture hunks of gold bars released when you've demolished the ships of some of the greedy trespassers. Other fun and nasty surprises materialize during your long mission to free our galaxy from this evil infestation. Bedlam 2 contains over 10 music tracks utilizing QuickTime technology, tons of sprites, high-quality "stereo" sound effects, and several full 256 color images. The many exciting and nerve-wracking features are sure to challenge your senses and give your mouse finger a workout. Version 1.0.3 is highly recommended. For those who already have Bedlam 2 (1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.3) an updater is also available at: http://www.GroundZeroSW.com/Bedlam2Update.html The following is a list of additions found in Bedlam 2 1.0.3: In adding more error checking to Bedlam 2 1.0.2 we accidently added a bug which made Bedlam 2 unplayable on non-PowerMacs if QuickTime was loaded. This has been fixed. We appologize for the problem and for any inconvenience this may have caused. More information about Bedlam 2 is available at our web site .

Automatic calculation of your friends' ages on their birthdays, and the yearsthey've been married on their anniversaries, is new in Birthdays and Su= ch v.1.2. Birthdays and Such is a tiny application meant to be launched on dailystartu= p, to remind you of the important birthdays and anniversaries in yourlife. (It'= s only 17K, plus a sample Reminders text file and a manual.) Itworks for me, which has made me the envy of all my friends and relatives. Bysetting reminders 10= or so days ahead, I find I'm as on the ball as the bestof the rest of my friend= s and relatives in remembering to buy cards andpresents (and to actually send them)--and way ahead of the date-impaired. And it works for lots of other people around the world. Here's what a fewuse= rs of Birthdays and Such=85 have written to say: "Finally! a Reminder that runs in 55K and doesn't lock up my Mac. I loveit!" "I am elated -- I=92ve just found =93Birthdays and Such...=94 software on anold CD-ROM. It=92s the business!= It is exactly the kind of programme I wouldwrite myself if I knew how.

"I ran across your Birthdays and Such reminder program out on theinternet.

"I keep an alias of the Reminders file in my Apple m= enu so I can edit itoften. I use the program not only for recurring dates like birthdays, but alsofor general reminders such as bills.

Try it! CopyPaste provides a new and powerful paradigm for working with information. CopyPaste multiplies the clipboard times 100 and makes it quick and easy to archive and retrieve information using familiar Mac OS technologies. Its a totally addictive utility that works invisibly in the background and contains many tools that are useful to every Mac user. The most frequent comment we get is "CopyPaste is now my favorite program. Why haven't I heard about it before?" We hope the press will let users know about CopyPaste. People find that once CopyPaste is installed it becomes essential and makes so much sense that they can no longer live without it. The problem is making more people aware of CopyPaste. Today with the release of version 4.1, CopyPaste is hundreds of times better and more useful then ever before. CopyPaste is the shareware utility that was awarded a 5 mouse rating by MacUser and was their shareware utility of the year 1996. Shareware Junkies declared it Mac Product of the year for 1997. CopyPaste also appeared in the June 97 Wired and has been featured in MacWeek, TidBits, MacAddict and many other magazines. CopyPaste magnifies the clipboard in many different ways and has been very popular with web developers, editors, writers, dtp professionals and everyone who uses the clipboard. One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do copy and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the Mac's system software that have changed and progressed over the years, copying and pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found yourself going back and forth copying in one application and pasting in a different application, wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to another application and paste each of these items? Now you can, with a vengeance! * Clip Extender - now gives 100 easy to access clipboards via menu or key command. * CopyPaste Palette - a floating windoid that gives the easiest access to the clipboards and to all CopyPaste features. * Drag and Drop *** NEW *** - allows you to drag anything to and from the CopyPaste Palette.

One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do copy and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the Mac's system software that have changed and progressed over the years, copying and pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found yourself going back and forth copying in one application and pasting in a different application, wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to another application and paste each of these items. Now you can with a vengeance! CopyPaste magnifies the clipboard in many ways: *Clip Extender - gives 10 easy to access clipboards via menu or key command. *Clip Recorder - remembers the last 10 items copied via command c. *Clip Archive - copied data is appended to one of 10 text files on disk. *Save Clipboards thru Restarts - allows all 10 Clipboards to be saved thru Shutdown or Restart. *Clip Sets - Sets of 10 clipboards can be loaded and saved to disk. Various Clip Sets can be created for different tasks. Clip Sets can also be sent to other CopyPaste users for them to load and use. *Tag and Drop - selected text can be copied to a different location with a single mouseclick. *CopyPaste Palette - a floating windoid that allows you to view/use 10 clipboards in Clip Extender and in Clip Recorder. *CopyPaste Utilities - there are text utilities, picture utilities and date and time utilities that work on the clipboard. *Application Switcher - lets you switch between running applications to copy and paste across them. *Clipboard Viewer - lets you view the content of your clipboards. It displays the text or the picture or it plays the sound. CopyPaste eliminates tedious repetitive work and increases your ability to get the job done. Version 4 is a major upgrade to CopyPaste. In addition to many bug fixes this version adds Drag & Drop functionality in the pallette and full Mac OS 8 compatibility. Version 4.1.1 fixes various bugs and corrects a problem with a corrupted Japanese preferences dialog.

Simply type in the text, tell it what folder(s) or disk(s) to search, and it will find all files containing that text. This saves you having to open ten or more files to get hold of the one you're after, and FindText can work in the background, which means you can get on with something else rather than watching the progress bar crawl across the screen.

A new multimedia art form. What you see: the ancient Pentium Snail images have been combined with modern PowerMac G3 images and a rare PieFaced Gates. This was made into a QuickTime movie within the MAX patch and then cycled back and forth at about 36 Hz. until one is selected by a random process. This creates a kind of morphing effect of images changing and growing as the frames flip by. Eventually all 20 portraits will be shown, although the process will stop at the same images from time to time. What you hear: The music is derived from the numbers that are used to cycle the pictures, only they are interrupted and randomly skewed in a different fashion. The process is akin to an algorithm and I like to think of this music as algorithmic music because there are "basins of attraction" created by many of the interconnections that produce recognizable musical and rhythmic patterns. I used 3 sound samples, a wild eep, a kind of deep blue indigo and a litigious sosumi. Howzitdone?: Max is an object-oriented program builder, you patch functional modules together in a kind of circuit, like the old Moog Synthesizer. The circuit patchers are hidden behind the black .pict background. Notes: The Pentium II Chip shown on the back of the snail is Intel in origin and was created in Silicon Valley ca. 1996-1997 A.D. It is amazingly life-like and modern, considering that it was created during the Dark Ages of computing, when Wintel Boxes claimed most marketshare. The PowerMac G3, however, has a sense of reality, dimension and perspective that indicates a new Mac Renaissance. The rare PieFaced Gates is the work of a fellow prankster, and came out the same week as the Snail Ads, forever tying these images together in the minds of Mac Users worldwide. The final Mac Logo with the =ECThink Different=EE phrase seems to project itself across the ages with a vivid presence.

Items are added or removed in 5 seconds, with no restarting necessary. StripLaunch takes up only 7k on your hard drive, no measurable amount of RAM and no processor time. Since it is a Control Strip module, it also takes up practically no desktop space and is always available on top of everything else. In short, StripLaunch is the only launching utility you are ever likely to need. New features since version 1.0: * Now scanning a folder inside the Control Strip Modules folder, rather than that folder itself. * No longer including invisible items in the menu. * Now switching to Finder whenever a folder is selected from the menu. * Divider line functionality now documented.
