[*] Akua Icon Fix
|
IconFix forces the icons of files dropped onto it into the Finder's
Desktop Database. Use this when you want to avoid rebuilding your whole
desktop just to get an icon to show up. You may have to wait until the
next restart until the icon actually shows.
Details The bundles of any file that has one are reentered into the
Finder's database. The "Initted" flag is turned off for any files that
have a bundle ('BNDL' resource).

Baby Games 1.1
Baby Games is the perfect computer introduction for children aged 18
months to 4 years. The program helps young children learn to recognize
the alphabet, numbers 1-20, basic geometric shapes, colors, and animals
with accompanying sounds. Baby Games is non-competitive and encouraging
as well as fun to play and educational. The program makes it fun and
easy for the young child to interact with the computer while engaged in
learning. This updated version places all sounds in a separate DATA file
for easy customization. Other minor cosmetic and sound improvements have
also been made. A time limited fully functional copy of the program is
now available for download. Pricing $15.

BatteryAmnesia 1.5.2 for PowerBooks
Author's email address: jbkezer@kagi.com
BatteryAmnesia is a utility for any PowerBook that uses a nickel-cadmium
(NiCad) or nickel-hydride (NiMH) battery. Over time, these batteries are
susceptible to a "memory effect", which can reduce their battery capacity.
The memory effect can be cured by fully discharging the battery before
recharging it.
BatteryAmnesia provides a safe, fast and automatic way to deep discharge
your PowerBook's battery. BatteryAmnesia bypasses the low battery warning
dialogs, and prevents the "soft" sleep brought on by those dialogs.
Instead, BatteryAmnesia will run your PowerBook's battery down until the
"hard" hardware shutdown occurs, which is at a lower voltage. This
provides the best discharge possible without an expensive external battery
conditioner.
Version 1.5.2 contains the following enhancements:
- Fixes Mac OS 8 compatibility bug.
Shareware; $10 registration fee suggested. See enclosed docs for more
information.
It can be downloaded from (http://members.aol.com/jbkezer/shareware.html).

[*] Deskpop 1.0b6
|
What does "Deskpop" do?
Deskpop is a Control Strip module which lists all volumes, folders and
files currently on the Mac's desktop. This is especially useful for the
(hopefully short) time the desktop is cluttered. Folders are displayed
with the underline style. Volumes (a.k.a. Disks) are displayed with the
bold bold+underline style. The Trash is displayed with the bold style.
Selecting an item from the Deskpop menu will open it.
Holding down the Control+Option keys will reveal it in the Finder.
Holding down the Control+Shift keys will move the selected item to the
Trash. If the selected item is a volume, Control+Shift+selecting will
unmount it and eject it, if it's ejectable. These key combinations can
be modified using the "Deskpop Keys" dialog, which is accessible from
the Deskpop menu item with the same name.
Requirements
* Mac OS 7.1 or better.
* The "Control Strip" Control Panel (from Apple Computer) must be installed.
* Scriptable Finder (which is integrated into Mac OS 7.5 and better, I believe).
For more information, please read the Read Me file enclosed.
Thanks,
Reveun Sherwin

File Buddy 4.2.2 is the latest release of the popular Mac file utility
File Buddy. Version 4.2.2 fixes bugs in serial number recognition code.
Version 4.2 features a number of small changes and a few bug fixes. Most
notably:
The Get Info Window:
The icon popup menu has changed. The Make Folder Icon... command has
been replaced by Make Sys 7 Folder Icon... and Make MacOS 8 Folder
Icon... commands. When the Get Info window changes an item's info, any
file list windows containing that item are updated. Setting one of the
dates to the other using the Creation Date or Modified Date items in the
date popup menus works a little differently now. Read the online help
for details.
The Find Window:
The folder list section of the Find window has been completely reworked.
Read the online help topic Finding Files for details. I never really
liked the old implementation, and I'm much happier with this one. It's
easier to use, looks better, and tends to be faster, especially when
searching a single folder. The layout of the Find window has been
adjusted to provide a neater appearance.
Other Changes:
The Get Info drag&drops are now referred to in documentation as
"droplets", and their code has been rewritten (at last), so they will no
longer mistakenly complain that File Buddy hasn't been registered when
if fact it has.
Versions of File Buddy prior to 4.2 will not run if the current
startup disk is locked (such as a CD-ROM) because they cannot create a
preferences file. Starting with 4.2, File Buddy will create a
preferences file in the folder containing the File Buddy application if
it cannot create one on the startup disk.
There is a now a preference to open an empty file list window at
launch.
Added an Empty Trash command to the Special menu.

[*] Mac Mesa 2.4 - Free 3D graphics library, with OpenGL API.
|
Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that
of OpenGL*, with full source code. It allows people without OpenGL to
write and use OpenGL-style applications. It is binary compatible with
Conix's OpenGL for MacOS. A GLUT implementation is also included.
What is OpenGL?
The premiere software interface that allows graphics programmers to
produce high-quality color images of 3D objects. The functions in the
OpenGL library enable programmers to build geometric models, view models
interactively in 3D space, control color and lighting, manipulate pixels,
and perform such tasks as alpha blending, anti-aliasing, depth cueing, and
texture mapping. OpenGL is available on all major computer platforms.This
makes OpenGL code portable to more computer platforms than any other
graphics library.
For more information about OpenGL see http://www.conix3d.com.
For information about Mac-Mesa see http://www.elte.hu/~boga/Mesa.html.
For information about Mesa see http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html.
Mesa was written by Brian Paul, and many contributors, distributed under
the terms of the GNU library copyright.
System requirement:
* Any CFM aware C compiler. Projects for only CW Pro1 is included.
* System 7.0 or older.
* Power Macintosh at least 16 MB of RAM.
* 20 MB of hard drive space.
* CFM68K Macintosh is so-so supported.

<mailto:gmartin@esu16.esu16.k12.ne.us>
This FREE (with a string attached) droplet allows you to drop a folder
or group of folders onto the droplet and have the view options set for
them individually. It may seem tedious to have to set the options for
them individually but it is better than the alternative. Just select the
folder and drop it on OS 8 Views Setter 2.0 and start setting the
options.
This Documentation MUST accompany the program WHERE EVER it goes.
Requirements:
At least 4 MB of Ram
Some folders
MacOS 8 (May work with system 7.5+) ]Read the disclaimer
Applescript
Jon's Scripting Commands <http://www.infoworkshop.com/~jonpugh> (Just
drop this on the System Folder in OS 8)

Possible features of 3.0:
-Will attempt to add feature that will allow you to save the current
views setup after setting up the first window. Thus those settings could
be recalled and used over and over again. Meainging no more endless
button clicking.
-A re-design of the interface to possibly include check boxes to make it
easier to set the views options all from one window in stead of many.
-To add any features or suggestions that are suggested.

[*] Open with Process..." CMM plugin
|
This CMM plugin allows you to select files and send and OpenDocument
('odoc') event to any of the currently running processes. This is a
handy shortcut for opening files in applications other than those that
created them. For instance, say you have some GIF, JPEG, or even some
source code files lying around, and you want to open them in an
application that you already have up and running. Instead of switching
to that application, and selecting "Open" from the File menu for each
file, just select all the files in the Finder, hold down the control
key, and pick the application you want to send the files to.
If you decide to keep this utility, please send $1.00 to the address
found at the bottom of this document. Come on, just a dollar!
Requirements: Mac OS 8.0, the Contextual Menu
Manager extension, and the SOMobjects for Mac OS shared library. Sorry,
but "Open With Process" is a PowerPC-only utility.
Disclaimer:
It works here at home on my PowerMac 7500/100 (604/150),
as well as on my PowerMac 8100/80 at work. I'm going
to leave the "1.0b1" designation on it for a bit
since I'm open to suggestions.
However, if your Mac OS system should suddenly go up
in a cloud of smoke, start spinning its monitor around
and speaking in tongues, or do other nasty thing such
as eating files or snacking on disks, it's not my fault.
I don't guarantee that Path/URL can or will do anything
except take up a tiny bit of room on your hard drive.
Doesn't it suck that we need to put disclaimers on stuff
like this?
I'd like to thank Apple for the CMM mechanism and SDK,
as well as Apple's DTS group for the kind help.
Feel free to contact me, or check my website for
more information.

[*] OT/PPP Toggle 2.2.1
|
OT/PPP Toggle 2.2.1
OT/PPP Toggle 2.2.1 toggles the state of the PPP connection using Open
Transport PPP. If it's closed, it opens it using the currently active
configuration as set in the PPP control panel. If it's already open, it
closes it. Using the Auto-Open feature, it can also open any application
or file you want once the connection is made (up to two of them). Just
click on it in a launcher or select it from the Apple menu and it opens
or closes the connection. It uses less than 10kb on disk and 200K of RAM
(and only when actually opening or closing a connection).
System Requirements:
OT/PPP Toggle requires any Macintosh computer with the following minimum
software:
System 7.5.3 or later
AppleScript 1.1 or later
Open Transport 1.1.1 or later
Open Transport PPP 1.0 *
* Open Transport PPP (OT/PPP) also installs the
"PPP Commands" addition to AppleScript, which is
required for this application to function.
New in this version:
2.2.1 - Updated Read Me with workaround for MacOS
8 incompatibility.

[*] ScenarioMaker 3D, developer release 7
|
ScenarioMaker 3D is used to create 3D environments to be used in Sword
Dream 3D. Sword Dream 3D is a three-dimensional adventure gaming system for
the Macintosh. Your surroundings are in three-D (just like in Marathon,
Doom or Descent). Still, this isn't a shoot-em-up videogame: it's a
think-first, act-later game. And it's fun for days, not minutes...
Dream 3D is distributed under the shareware system: try it first, pay if
you like it.
WHAT'S NEW FOR THIS VERSION
ScenarioMaker is Mac OS 8-aware. This means that my application can still
be used under System 7, but it gains new features if run under the new,
exciting Operating System from Apple.
* Dialog boxes are moveable
* Error messages contain an explanation of the steps needed to recover, and
are moveable
* All windows and dialog boxes retain the Platinum Appearance (including
focus rings), even if the Systemwide platinum appearance is turned off for
compatibility reasons in the Appearance control panel.
* Windoids are for real - they float in front of other windows, and
disappear when you bring the application to the background.
* ScenarioMaker is ready for Switchable Themes - future versions of the Mac
OS will allow us to change the user interface. ScenarioMaker will
automatically take advantage in full of the new theme.
* Enhanced menu handling
AVAILABILITY, REQUIREMENTS, AND MISCELLANEA
Both Sword Dream 3D and ScenarioMaker are available in English, French
and Italian. A read-me file in the package describes the 3D features for
this program. A full-length manual in Microsoft Word 5.1 format can be
downloaded from ftp://ftp.comenius.com/pub/software/mac/dream/ The Sword
Dream 3D WWW site can normally be reached at
http://www.comenius.com/dream/ There you'll find full details on the
game, and will be able to download a copy. As I write this, the Internet
site at www.comenius.com (and the file download area at
ftp.comenius.com) are both down, and I don't know when they'll be back
online. We are creating a backup FTP area. If you have problems finding
the files you need, contact me via e-mail. My address is in the last
paragraph of this document. Hardware requirements: a 68030 or better Mac
OS computer, with a 14", 256 colors monitor, and System 7. ScenarioMaker
3D is freeware and can be freely re-distributed. For more info, use
e-mail. mailto:akko@ilmioweb.it

Scriptable Checkers 1.0 is a simple checkers game, except that it is
scriptable with AppleScript. This single feature set expands the
usefullness and fun of the game not only to theorists but also educators,
hobbyists, and as all scriptors know, into the realm of possibilities.
This is no static game, with a few levels of computer players to challenge
a solo player, but an open ended experimentation device. Some sample
scripts, including three simple AppleScript checker players, are included.
Scriptable Checkers 1.0 requires System 7, and Color QuickDraw. It makes
use of Text To Speech if available. It requires about 800K free RAM, and
about 912K disk space for installation. It is a FAT binary.
This software may be included on the info-mac CD. Other redistribution
restrictions are explained in the About Scriptable Checkers document.
Thank you,

[*] ShatterBat 1.1 -- great 3D game!
|
This is an update for Antennahead Industries' popular shareware game
ShatterBat. It features numerous performance enhancements and bug fixes,
most notably InputSprocket 1.2 and support for multiprocessing. The
original press release is below:
RICHMOND, VA -- OCTOBER 2, 1996 -- Antennahead Industries, Inc. rolled out
their new title ShatterBat today, setting a new standard for quality and
technological performance in the Macintosh shareware market. Featuring
fast- paced arcade shooting action in a surreal, gravityless, 3D texture-
mapped environment, ShatterBat combines great gameplay with state-of-the-
art graphics.
"Like all the games that have become classics, ShatterBat's basic premise
is simple -- shoot the bats, avoid the Big Giant Head, get the powerups, and
beat the clock," says designer Andrew Meggs. "But in that simplicity lies
the elegance of it, and as the pace quickens, the game really draws you in.
When we were developing it, there were times when I literally had to grab
the mouse away from testers so I could finish putting the game together!"
Other players were a bit less technical about it. "You mean this is
shareware? I can just go download it? I'm there!" said one victim of an
early preview.
In addition to the great gameplay, ShatterBat shows some of the best
graphics to hit the Mac market in a while -- high-performance true 3D
texture-mapped polygons in a six degree of freedom world, the annoyingly
graceful flight of swarm upon swarm of evil robotic bats, and the ever-
present Mister Bob are all right in your face for big-time first-person
action! Don't stop there, though, because you also get high-quality
stereo sound and a funky soundtrack, all for the low shareware price
of only $12!
ShatterBat runs on all 68040 machines with floating-point ability, and
plays insanely great on PowerMacs.

[*] Yank 1.3.1v3J - Japanese Version
|
This is the Japanese version of the Yank package. This version updates
the documentation and registration information.
Yank is a shareware application that does two things:
1) Uninstalls an application and files created by the application by
moving them to the Trash.
2) Cleans up your Preferences folder by moving outdated files to the
Trash.
Nothing is deleted - all files are moved to the Trash. Open the Trash
folder and watch those unneeded files pile up! If you want to replace
the files, click on them, and select "Put Away" from the File menu
(command-Y).
Yank is a fat-binary application, which means it runs in native mode on
a Power Macs and 68K Macs. System 7 or greater is required.
