Subject: [*] C-Futuro Justice 1.8
C-Futuro(tm) Justice 1.8 is a scheme for the Kaleidoscope Control Panel.
It's one of the rare few designed for daily use and includes a new tight,
clean, and serif free system font, folders and light versions,
even a Be version! It looks great on MacOS 8.
Feel free to include this on InfoMac CD-ROMs.
Sorry, the previous submission's archive had some locked files which I just
found out could cause problems with the Kaleidoscope Extension though not
the Control Panel.
Thanks for your patience,

Subject: [*] CoolViews 1.0.1 - Enhance the OS 8 Finder
WHAT IS COOLVIEWS?
CoolViews is a utility that adds functionality and visual enhancements to
the MacOS 8 Finder. With CoolViews installed, you can get rid of shaded
sort columns and row separators in the Finder's windows, resize the
columns in Finder list views, set global list view preferences, override
the date and time formatting used by the Finder, and even enable "secret"
columns.
MACOS 8 IS GREAT. AND WITH COOLVIEWS, IT'S BETTER THAN EVER!
Every preference in CoolViews is customizable. You can use as much or as
little of its functionality as you need: from the simplest enhancement to
a complete overhaul of the Finder's windows. If you want to shorten the
date used in Finder list views, decrease the column widths, and eliminate
the lines separating rows, you can do that. If you want to completely
override folder-specific list view preferences, use funky background
colors in your windows, and add columns showing the creator and type of
every file, you can do that too!
Versions of CoolViews are available for both PowerMacs and 680x0 Macs,
and in Japanese as well as English. CoolViews is compatible with MacOS
8.1 and works with other appearance-modifying utilities like Kaleidoscope.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.0.1
Version 1.0.1 is a minor bug fix release. We recommend that all CoolViews
users upgrade to version 1.0.1, especially those using 680x0 Macs and
people using non-US versions of the MacOS. Details are available in the
manual and on our web site.
ABOUT QUADRATIC SOFTWARE
Quadratic has produced several shareware and freeware titles for the
Macintosh, including the popular cursor-focusing utility "Sloop". For
more information about Quadratic Software or its products, visit the
Quadratic web site at or send email to
.
This is the English version of CoolViews. Other versions are also
available.

Subject: [*] Despair 1.6 - a wrath simulator
The software that asks, "What's it like to be a jealous god?" is back.
Again. Primitive, cruel, a grotesque misapplication of technology, this
game lets you wreak your wrath on dozens of tiny, helpless little
computer-people.
At last fixed to work on PowerPC, and with three new threats to add that
certain je ne sais quoi, Despair lets you vent that violent impulse in a
socially acceptable, future-friendly manner.

Subject: [*] Glidel U.S. 3.6
Glidel is a system extension that extends the Finder's drag-and-drop

either on your Desktop or in an open folder, and drag it to:
* The Open, Print, Get Info, Sharing..., Duplicate, Make Alias, Put Away

accessible via a third-party hierarchical menu utility such as

right-hand side of the menu bar.
New in version 3.6:

limited only by the available
memory,
- Improvement of the code robustness,

open file.

PictPocket 1.3.2
ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/gst/grf/pict-pocket-132.hqx
Here's a different kind of screen capture utility, great for
people who need to build a lot of window pictures into their
documents, but don't want to waste a lot of storage. Most of
the pictures in AWOL Utilities help files were captured using
PictPocket.
PictPocket "picks the pocket" of applications as they draw their
windows, not after they have been drawn. This difference allows
it to place in the Clipboard a 'PICT' which represents the
actual elements drawn, rather than a bitmap (raster) image.
(You choose whether or not to include the window frame.) Not
only is a PictPocket 'PICT' smaller than a bitmap 'PICT', and
not proportional in size to the depth of color, but you retain
the ability to edit the picture later, using an application such
as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Change text, colors, position
of elements, whatever! If you need a blow-up of the picture,
just change the Page Setup scaling factor, and it will still
print perfectly, with no bitmap "jaggies."
Version 1.3 makes PictPocket much easier to use. Just press the
Caps Lock and Shift keys, find the window you want to capture,
click on it, and release the keys when the window starts to
blink. Version 1.3.2 is a maintenance release with no feature
upgrades.
This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package,
which includes the following programs: Virtual Desktop 1.9.1,
Maybe 1.5.2, Help on Wheels 1.3 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.3),
PictPocket 1.3.2, Menu Events 1.3.1, Menu Grabber 1.3.1, Trash Bag 1.2.2.
All of them are free, and Copyright (c) 1994-7 Ross Brown.

Subject: [*] Holiday Lights 3.1.2
Holiday Lights decorates your Macintosh for the holidays.
It's an entertaining application that places flashing light bulbs around
the edge of your screen, as though a (well-insulated) elf crawled into
your computer through the disk drive slot and stapled them there. The
lights flash in the background while you continue to work, so it's not
just a screen saver.
The "bulbs" include standard Christmas tree lights, Valentine's Day
hearts, Thanksgiving turkeys, chili peppers, shamrocks, stockings, holly,
snowmen, happy faces, and more - and you can create your own bulbs using
ResEdit or a similar program. Is it useful? Well... okay, no. Is it
wonderful fun? Absolutely!
For even more seasonal joy, Holiday Lights includes cheery background
music (you can add your own MIDI files) as well as built-in festive
screen savers to put you in the holiday spirit.
Holiday Lights is an application, not a system extension, so it won't
cause extension conflicts. It is compatible with System 7.0 or later,
including Mac OS 8. You can try it free for up to ten days before
deciding whether or not to pay the $20 shareware fee.
This update is free to registered users; changes in this version are
noted in the enclosed documentation.

Kids Animation Maker is the only animation tool designed for children at
the age of up to 12 years. It is very easy to use and quick to learn. VSE
developed a unique symbol guided user interface that allows even very
young children to play with Kids Animation Maker.
"Playing with Kids Animation Maker helps children to develop their
creativity. It stimulates their imagination and it helps children to
translate their very own ideas into action," said Mari Gallego, an
educationalist who assisted in developing Kids Animation Maker. "By
playing with Kids Animation Maker, children can take a look into the
basics of animation and they learn how to use modern computer technology."
This is a demo version of the commerical produkt "VSE Kids Animation
Maker". This demo version is fully functional but in a saved file, each
frame of the animation will be crossed by a red "X".
System requirements:
* System 7.0 or greater
* 2 MB free memory
* Works best with at least 256 colors and 13" monitor

Maybe 1.5.3
ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/gui/maybe-153.hqx
This application picks up where Finder left off in its
implementation of aliases. Maybe converts a Finder alias file
to give it an additional effect.
Converted aliases do more than just point to the original item.
They can:
- play a sound
- open or print every item in the target folder
- open some other item (document, application, folder, or
whatever) first
- send an Apple event to another program
- make a startup item optional, by questioning the user, or
checking the state of a key
Maybe doesn't solve your problems directly, but it gives you the
power to do a lot of things you've been wanting to do.
Version 1.5.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0, and fixes some
sound handling bugs. Versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 fix very minor bugs.
This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package,
which includes the following programs: Virtual Desktop 1.9.1,
Maybe 1.5.3, Help on Wheels 1.3 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.3),
PictPocket 1.3.2, Menu Events 1.3.1, Menu Grabber 1.3.1, Trash Bag 1.2.2.

Subject: [*] MazeworldAbyss152.sit
Mazeworld Abyss is an action-packed 3-D virtual reality arcade game. The
object is simple: on each level you must retrieve the Maze Jewel.
However, you'll have to dodge the energy bolts thrown at you by a host of
weird creatures. The Maze Domain is randomly generated, so it's
different each time you play.
Changes to version 1.5: improved and simplified game play, new and
improved wall graphics, no time limit, smoothed out sounds, and more.
Version 1.5.2 removes the delay before the ok button is enabled in the
shareware reminder dialog, to avoid confusing some people who may have
thought they had to pay before playing the game.
Shareware, $10.
For Mazeworld Abyss screenshots and news, visit our web page at
.
Mazeworld Abyss requires a Power Macintosh with 256-color or better
graphics, 4.5 Megs of free RAM and System 7 or later. Requires Apple's
ObjectSupportLib library (already installed on most Power Macs).

Menu Grabber 1.3.1
ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/gui/menu-grabber-131.hqx
A fascinating illustration of the power of Menu Events, Menu
Grabber lets you pick an application from any Macintosh on the
network, and presents an identical copy of its menu bar on your
screen (but in bright red and white-on-black, just so you
realize what you might be getting into). While grabbing an
application, you can pull down a menu or use a keyboard
equivalent to simulate the same action on the target
application.
This application can be useful in network management, and to
people like me who sometimes forget to close a needed document
before leaving the office.
Version 1.3 adds a handy Refresh button, and makes it easier to
deal with applications whose menus are sensitive to modifier
keys. Version 1.3.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0.
This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package,

Subject: [*] ScaleCalc 0.2
ScaleCalc
ScaleCalc is a set of simple model railroad calculators which include a scale
convertor, a grade calculator, and a helix calculator. Each of these
calculators is presented in its own window. You may have as many of each
window open as memory allows.
ScaleCalc is email-ware. If you like it, send me email. Please feel free to
include complaints, comments and suggestions.
The Scale Calculator
The scale calculator is the simplest of the windows to operate. Just enter a
set of measurements in either the unscaled or the scaled section, select a
scale and click on the arrow pointing to the other section. For example,
entering 1 in the miles box and clicking on the downward arrow will generate a
scaled measurement of 60 feet 7 and 7/16 inches. (Note: If you follow this by
clicking on the upwards arrow, the result will be 5279 feet, 11 and 51/64
inches. Since measurements are only kept to the nearest 1/64 of an inch, some
accuracy is lost.)
Conversion between scales is a two-step process best illustrated by example.
If an HO-scale object (say a car) measures 10 (real) inches, and you want to
know the size of the same object in N scale, enter 10 into the inches box in
the scaled section. Select HO as the scale and click on the upwards arrow.
Then select N as the scale and click on the downwards arrow. The scaled
section will now show a length of 7 and 7/16 inches.
The Grade Calculator
To use the grade calculator, fill in any two of the four factors: horizontal
distance, incline (track distance), rise, or grade. For grade use the percent,
such as 2.5. Click on the "Use" radio buttons for the factors that you want to
base the calculation on and the "Compute" radio buttons for the two factors
that you want to compute. This will make the "Compute" push button at the
bottom of the window active. Click it to calculate. Note: Exactly two "Use"
radio buttons must be on to make the Compute push button active.
Only for very high grades or very long grades will there be any noticable
difference in the horizontal and the incline distances.
