Subject: [*] BBS-ANSI Telnet (fat) patch
NCSA Telnet 2.7 supports most ANSI color sequances. It does not however,
contain a graphical font for display of ANSI graphics. BBS-ANSI Telnet
has a few added resources to allow use of such graphics. The graphical
font used comes from Zterm, a great shareware program that you should
check out!
Included are:
* BBS-ANSI Telnet (fat) patch
Patches NCSA Telnet 2.7b4 to support ANSI graphics.
* NCSA Telnet Preferences
Preferances that include an ANSI terminal. Choose it instead of
"" to open an ANSI BBS window.
* ansitest.gz
This is an ANSI test file for those of you who don't have an ANSI
graphic handy. It is compressed with GNUZip because FTP tends to
eat ANSI chars.
This is a quick hack by Dean Brissinger ([email protected]). Enjoy,
and let me know if there is a better ANSI Terminal out there! Use of this
software is AT YOUR OWN RISK. I needed an ANSI Telnet program, and quickly
hacked two programs together to get one. I do not own this software, it
belongs to it's authors at NCSA and those who wrote Zterm. This patch
simply copies the font from Zterm and drops it into NCSA Telnet 2.7b4 (fat).

Subject: [*] Better Edit Keys 1.0.1
Price: $10 (shareware)
Source: ftp://ftp.alpcom.it/software/mac/LMontalcini
Better Edit Keys is a cool system enhancement that allows
you to use the shift, option and control keys with the arrows,
delete, forward delete and clear keys in any standard text
editing field, including basic text editors such as SimpleText.
This makes it much easier to work with text without reaching
the mouse. The following key combinations are allowed:
- shift + any arrow: extend the current selection.
- option + left/right arrow: move to the previous or next word.
- control + left/right arrow or option + up/down arrow: move to
the beginning or end of the current line.
- shift + option + any arrow: move like option + arrow while
extending the selection.
- option + delete: delete up to the beginning of the current
word (or clear selection).
- forward delete or shift + delete: delete the next character
(or clear selection).
- option + forward delete or shift + option + delete: delete up
to the end of the current word (or clear selection).
- clear: clear the current selection, if any.
- option + clear: delete the current word (or clear selection).
The above tasks should usually be performed by applications,
but many of them don't care. Better Edit Keys implements this
default behavior in all situations where the application is not
already taking care of it, but it does nothing if the
application handles the keystrokes by itself. This means that
the above keystrokes will not work if the application already
handles them. For example recent versions of SimpleText handle
the forward delete key by themselves, which also disables the
option + forward delete keystroke provided by Better Edit Keys.
There is no safe way to override the application's own handling
of the keystrokes, so Better Edit Keys is only useful for
applications that don't handle them and for generic text
editing fields like the ones in dialog windows.
New in version 1.0.1:
- Added a Settings dialog to selectively enable or disable
the editing keys, fixed a bug that made the control panel
crash on some machines.

From: [email protected] (Doug Wareing)
Subject: [*] Comic books DB 1.0
Well, basically it's a file for FileMaker Pro 4.0. I designed it to keep
track of my growing comic book collection (and also my wife's...) and to
provide some sort of record for insurance purposes if they were to get
destroyed. Other than that, there's not much to it!
I've included the fonts I use to make it look pretty. All told, the
compressed archive contains:
1. Comic books DB - The actual FileMaker Pro 4.0 file
2. Look at me! - The text file you are currently reading
3. FuturConBol - Futura Condensed Bold font
4. Holstein - Another jazzy font
5. Technical - The final font
Features:
I've designed this file to be easy to use and yet somewhat versitle. I'll
go over briefly the fields.
* Name: For the title of the comic. I usually check the legal info on the
first page of the book for the "official" title if I'm in doubt.
* Publisher: This is a pull-down menu that is both editable for permanace
(using "Edit") or you can put in a company that isn't on the list in there
indiviually (using "Other").
* Condition: I have the pop-up option set to "Near Mint" b/c you'd have to
get it right off the press for true "Mint" condition. This is list works
the same as the publisher one does.
* Number: For the issue number of the title.
* Date of entry: This was just kinda a frill. Automatically enters in the
date using your Mac's built-in Time/Date features.
* Cover price: This was for insurance purposes. I was going to put in the
price I paid, but I figured if I needed to replace them, I'd just use
whatever price was listed in Wizard and make double my money...
* Cover type: Another pull-down list. Also editable. I've included the
most common.
* Player Stats: Just what is looks like. I only did Story, Pencils and
Inks b/c they are always the three largest contributors listed. My
apologies to all the colorist and letter-ists out there.
* Comments: I usually use this space for mention of crossover relevance
(ie: Revelations: 1 of 4, Onslaught: Phase 2). Use it for whatever floats
your boat.
Thanks a ton... and enjoy!

Subject: [*] McPoet 3.3: Text-morphing tools
McPoet is a set of tools for text generation and text morphing: that is, tools
for the poetic manipulation of text. It uses a simple language to allow the
text-generation rules to be completely user-configurable. It is easy to write
your own rules for McPoet even if you know nothing about programming your Mac.
You can also use the large set of built-in rules, or a new automatic
rule-generating function which can turn ordinary text into an executable
rules.
The text morphing features include an automatic version of Tristan Tzara's
original Dadaist formula for creating poetry from text, an eecummingsfication
feature for imitating the style of the great poet ee cummings, multiple forms
of
Markov chaining (with several built-in probability tables) and much more.
Version 3.x includes dozens of new features over version 2.x: more than
can be listed here.
Version 3.3 is a maintenance version, which fixes a few glitches found in
earlier
versions. It also includes the first public announcement of the International
McPoet Definition Project, to which all users are invited to contribute.
McPoet is dada-ware: uncopyrighted and free. It requires at least 2.6 megabytes
of free disk space, at least 2 megabytes of available RAM, and a
reasonably-fast
processor (or great patience!). It is compatible with all Macs.

Subject: [*] Total Desktop Rebuild 1.0
Author: Alessandro Levi Montalcini
Price: Freeware
Source: ftp://ftp.alpcom.it/software/mac/LMontalcini
Total Desktop Rebuild is a free system extension that allows
you to completely erase all your desktop files so that they are
rebuilt from scratch when the startup process is over. To delete
all the desktop files on all mounted disks, simply hold down the
Command and Option keys while Total Desktop Rebuild is loading.
A small red flash is then added to the startup icon, and Total
Desktop Rebuild attempts to do its job.
Warning: Total Desktop Rebuild will completely delete all your
file comments. If you wish to preserve them, use the Finder's
built-in desktop rebuild capabilities instead (by holding down
Command and Option at the end of the startup process, while the
Finder is loading).
Yes, I know there are dozens of other utilities that do the
same thing. But I needed to rebuild my desktops from scratch,
and I had to use an extension, and of course I couldn't find the
one I used to play with. So I cooked up my own in ten minutes,
and since I'm passing it to you for free you shouldn't be
complaining in the first place...

You can view picture files, resources or the clipboard,
zoom in and out, move around and take screen shots.
JPEGtoPICT converts all JPEG files in a folder to jpeg-compressed
PICT files, which are placed in a new folder.
spider lets you weave your web pages in HyperCard.
You create special, simple stacks in HyperCard
and then convert them to web pages.
All these stacks are intended for use with HyperCard 2.1 or later.
For two of them (trueConvert and spider), you will also need
a newer version of HyperCard Player (available free from Apple
on the internet).
The spider requires AppleScript and the freeware program
"clip2gif" by Yves Piguet.

Have you ever wanted to know whether a particular Web page has been updated?

browser and show you the appropriate pages.
WebWatcher is freeware.
New Features in 2.1:
* Resizable main window
* Works with URLs whose host doesn't supply "last modified" information
* Undo delete

Subject: [*] WolfEdit 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 Updater
Here is an updater from the full version of WolfEdit 2.0.1

game Wolfenstein 3D. Features and improvements over WolfEdit 1.1/1.1C
include:

and the alternate elevator.
* Ability to replace almost all the artwork in
the game - walls, objects, enemies, weapons,
status bar, intermission, etc.
* Control over propagation of sound between rooms.
Guards in another room can hear you and come chasing...
* Access to all the built-in music, and some
support for adding your own.

Microsoft Internet Explorer can view AVI files.
AVI to QT utility (is supposed to) convert it into movie files but it never
worked for me. MSIE is your best bet IMHO.

Subject: Cyberdog 1.2 and FreePPP 2.5v2 bugs
Dear Digest readers,
Two separate issues in one message:
1. Cyberdog 1.2's e-mail Eudora import command has a serious flaw.
If I set my Cyberdog e-mail folder to be the same as the Eudora folder, it
will overwrite the Eudora boxes with its own once it is done importing.
If I have Cyberdog e-mail trays of the same name as a Eudora folder I am
importing, the Cyberdog trays get erased of their contents and I get "an
error occurred while importing." No opportunity is given in either
instance to rename the Eudora box or the Cyberdog tray so that the
overwriting doesn't happen. As a result, I lost two weeks worth of e-mail.
2. FreePPP 2.5v2 has a timer that will ask you if you want to disconnect
after X number of minutes. This timer can not be turned off once it is
turned on. Even when I select the radio button to turn it off, messages
appear on my screen every X minutes asking if I want to disconnect or
continue being connected. If this popup window opens just as an
application is trying to connect, I get a Bus error.
I don't know where the author is of FreePPP, and I have reported the bug to
Apple about Cyberdog. If anyone knows what is the e-mail address of
FreePPP's author, please let me know.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
[email protected]

Subject: File Sharing?
Can you share files over a Appletalk network with Open Transport
1.1.1 installed or do i have to switch back to classic networking.
When i try to share a folder, it needs to open the sharing setup
cdev, which needs the file sharing extension, which needs the File sharing
moniter, which needs network extension.
And whenever i start up with these extensions running, as soon as
the finder starts to open it crashes with a error.
So how can i do file sharing with Open Transport?
Is there a Tech Info Library document which i can check out?
TIA

Subject: FInd file utility that does the following (Q)
Dear Digest readers,
Anybody try Aladdin Spring Cleaning yet? I wondered if its search
facilities match my needs:
I've been looking for a utility that does several very simple tasks.
Scans all the disks for duplicate and non-backed up files and makes a
file list with marks on files with both statuses, clearly indicating
which status a file is. It should have no capacity limits as to the
number of files searched. It should support if 30MB is given to it,
52,000 files searched, and use a faster algorithm for searching than
Apple's Find File.
If two files are on two separate disks and the following is true about
both of them:
- create date
- modified date
- name
- version
- type/creator
Then it should consider the file as backed up.
If it can't find a comparable file on a separate disk, then it should
report back to the user that the file isn't backed up,
and give the user the option to back it up onto any disk. It should
also do a check for any other files on the other disk that has a name
that contains the same word as the original file.
It should check for older versions of the same file and report if older
versions exist.
It should also report any file that is backed up more than once on the
same disk and check if it is backed up on another disk, and give the
user the option to trash the extra copies or move the extra copy onto
another disk if it isn't already there. Copies of files with "copy" at
the end of the file name should be considered copies.
Or is there another freeware or commercially available software that
does all that I've been looking for?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
[email protected] (permanent e-mail address)
