Subject: [*] 8-Ball Emulator 9
This Mac application puts a pool table on your screen and lets you shoot
the balls down the holes. You can set the table size and ball size as you
wish, and adjust speed and friction. The Aim Assist feature shows you
which direction and how far the cue ball will go when you shoot. A Shot
Status window shows who's turn it is, whether they've made a legal shot,
etc. Version 9 lets you play 9-Ball and uses Kagi for registration.
Registered users of versions 7 and 8 will not need to reregister.
The registration process is fixed in version 9. ( In versions 7 and 8,
registration was broken in Sept. 1997). You can only do 5 shots per day
until you register. As the Registration window instructions say:
To register 8-Ball Emulator 9 for this computer, first use the 8-Ball
Registration application that comes with 8-Ball Emulator to pay for
registration.
When you get your payment confirmation, from Kagi, create a Key Request
letter with the machine code above and the confirmation TransactionID, and
send it to [email protected]. The 'Save...Letter' and 'Copy...'
buttons below will help you.
A Key Code will be returned to you that will unlock 8-Ball, for the machine
whose code is in the Key Request letter. Once you enter the Key Code in
the box above, you can play without interruption.
You can also send a check and the letter to Kagi. If you are paying with
credit card, you can email ([email protected]) or fax ( 510 652 6589 ) the
application info. If you are paying with cash or USD check, print the info
and send it with payment to:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut St. #392-QQT
Berkeley, CA 94709-1405
USA
But you must e-mail the Key Request letter to [email protected]

Subject: [*] Akua Sweets V131 - Scripting Additions and Example AppleScripts
AKUA Sweets V1.31
Released: 5. March, 1999
Redistribution may occur without permission from the Author.
Akua Sweets is a set of scripting additions and includes over 150 example

network volumes, converting to Unix text, controlling remote machines,
displaying images & animations, working with HTML files & tags and more...
V1.31 has mostly bug fixes to the V1.3 release and a few new commands.
V1.3 and beyond have a re-coded dictionary - there will be problems with
scripts made with versions fixed.

Subject: [*] eps-mover-1.0.1.hqx
EPS Mover is a Macintosh application from Art Age Software(tm), the makers o=
f
the award-winning applications epsConverter(tm) and EPStoPICT(tm). EPS Mover
can read any portable EPS file (encapsulated PostScript(R) file) and convert
its preview into the proper format for the target platform you designate. Fo=
r
example, you may have a CD-ROM of EPS clip art that was created for use on
PCs, but which you would like to use on a Macintosh. EPS Mover can quickly
convert the PC EPS files into equivalent Macintosh EPS files.
EPS Mover requires a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC processor running
System 7.0 or later. Because EPS Mover contains only PowerPC native code, it
will not run on older Macs using 68000 series processors.
To install EPS Mover, simply double-click the EPS Mover Installer icon, and
follow the on-screen instructions.
Pricing and registration details can be found in the package.
-------------------
Version 1.0.1 Changes
=95 Now preloading Navigation Services library for speedier display of file
browsing dialogs.
=95 Fixed problem reading EPS previews saved in vector PICT format.

Subject: [*] Fonts Manager 3.9.2
Fonts Manager - is similar to the Mac's Extensions Manager,
but it manages Fonts instead. It allows the enabling and
disabling of suitcases and printer fonts in 'Sets'. It
supports the viewing and printing of font samples, export of
'Sets', import of saved 'Sets', Balloon Help, and a Tutorial
Topics system. It is NOT a Control Panel or Extension (like
ATM D... or Suitca... or Master J...), NOR does it pretend to
be one by living in the Startup Items folder (like Font R...);
thus it works on ALL Macs with System 7.1 or later, including
Mac OS 8.1 (and HFS+), without modifying the NORMAL startup
and operation of your computer. Thousands worldwide running
all kinds of Macs (and clones) have switched to Fonts Manager
to get 'Up & Running'.

Subject: [*] Kaleidoscope 2.1.2
Kaleidoscope 2.1.2 -- Shareware $25
by Greg Landweber and Arlo Rose
US English Version
Kaleidoscope is the ultimate in user interface customization, letting
you switch between completely different designs provided by plug-in
files called "Schemes". Kaleidoscope comes with eight schemes,
including the Mac OS 8, System 7, and Be OS interfaces, as well as
five radically new designs
by Arlo Rose, formerly of Apple's Human Interface Design Center.
There are also several thousand third party schemes available on the
Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive and elsewhere.
Kaleidoscope 2.1.2 offers many improvements and resolves various
conflicts. It works better with the latest applications that take
full advantage of the Mac OS 8.5 Appearance Manager, such as MT- or
YA-NewsWatcher and Transmit. In particular, Internet Explorer 4.5
looks especially good now with Kaleidoscope running. Menus with
complex patterns should draw faster, too. In addition, version 2.1.2
fixes problems with the new Blue & White G3's, StuffIt SpaceSaver,
FaxSTF, Extensions Manager, AppleWorks, Internet Explorer, Action
Files, SmartScroll, AliasMenu, Palm Desktop, DeskScan, Bias Peak, and
Claris Impact.

From: [email protected] (Bruce Grubb)
This is the latest edition (Mar 1, 1999) of the Mac-FTP-list and should
replace version 4.4.6.
The Mac-FTP-list lists over 200 mac anonymous ftp sites (some with notes),
over 110 Mac web pages, and contains some instructions on how to use anonymous
ftp and find files as well a format chart showing which programs decompress
and decode which files. Also there is a section on how to use certain files.
This Stuffit Deluxe 5.0 archive contains both the text and html versions of
the Mac-FTP-list.
To insure that the columns in the Format Chart section line up correctly the
document's text must be in a monospaced font such as Courier 10pt, Monaco 9pt,
or a PC equivalent.
Permission is given for this program to be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.
Changes: format chart updated;

Subject: [*] MoviePhile1.1.hqx
MoviePhile is a FileMaker Pro database useful for keeping track of your
movie collection. It can even print VHS labels and store QuickTime movies.
Fixed a problem with the Retape date field - the text was white on a white
background, rendering it difficult to read.
The List View printouts now look tons better.
Fixed a problem with the label layouts that printed the Omit buttons.
Changed the aspect ratio of the QuickTime movie field to better reflect a
16:9 ratio (it's actually 220x120 if you're interested).
That's all that's worth noting.

Subject: [*] PictureArchive - Store Images In Searchable Database
PictureArchive V1.0
PictureArchive gives you the ability to store your images in a searchable
database. This database allows you to have 5 categories, where you choose
your own category items. The PictureArchive database just doesn't show you
the name of files, it will allow you to: 1) filter the list, 2) preview the
images, 3)show the images in their own window, and 4) even has a simple
slide show for you to view your filtered list.
However, PictureArchive doesn't stop there. PictureArchive will take a
fingerprint of the image and compare that fingerprint with other images in
your database. If the fingerprint is found, it will show you the image you
are adding vs. the image in the database. This will give you an easy way to
prevent duplicate copies of some of your favorite images from finding there
way into your personal archives.
Requires:
* System 7.5 or Later.
* QuickTime 2.5 or Higher

Subject: [*] SchemeChecker 1.4.4 - Kaleidoscope 1.x and 2.x scheme utility
When Greg Landweber released Kaleidoscope 1.5, he started supporting third
party color schemes. This made it possible for anybody to make their own
schemes and change their MacOS interface completely. But, unfortunately, not
all scheme designers are careful enough to make sure their schemes are bug
free.
To help scheme authors create schemes that had less bugs and would run more
smoothly, SchemeChecker was released. SchemeChecker runs several tests on
your schemes, to make sure you haven't omitted any crucial resources, or
added resources that aren't used at all.
Starting with version 1.4, SchemeChecker is fully compatible with the new,
complex scheme format in Kaleidoscope 2.x schemes. SchemeChecker also allows
schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new
Kaleidoscope 2.x resources, such as desktop patterns, window colors or
cursors, as long as the resource IDs or functionality don't overlap.
SchemeChecker enables you to check all the schemes in any folder (including
subfolders), just one scheme or several schemes which can be selected from a
list. The results can easily be exported to a TEXT file which you can open
in any text editor.
Recent changes to SchemeChecker
-------------------------------
1.4.3 - March 3, 1999
* SchemeChecker remembers the selected scheme folder between launches.
* The new resources revealed in the Kaleidoscope 2.1.2 documentation
are now properly recognized.
1.4 - 1.4.3:
* Support is added for the new resources introduced in Kaleidoscope
2.1.1 and MacOS 8.5.
* SchemeChecker now does a better job at checking schemes configured
to be used only with Kaleidoscope 2.0 or later. It also allows
schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the
new Kaleidoscope 2.0 resources in areas where the resource IDs
don't overlap.
* Kaleidoscope now checks the "Minimum Kaleidoscope version" entry in
the Colr ID 129 resource for errors.
* You can now make SchemeChecker automatically fix any unset System
Heap and Purgeable bits.
* When you select a different scheme in the Result window, the dis-
played information no longer reverts to the "further info" field.
* misc. bug fixes and improvements

Subject: [*] SpriteWorld 2.2 -> 2.2.1 Update
Use this update package to bring SpriteWorld 2.2 up to version 2.2.1. Only
two minor changes were made since 2.2 was released:
* Modified SWCollideSpriteLayer and SWCollideCircularSpriteLayer so it is now
safe to call SWRemoveSpriteFromAnimation (but not SWRemoveSprite) to remove
as many Sprites as you want from any SpriteLayer from within your
collideProc. Note that it is still unsafe to do this from a MoveProc or
FrameProc. For those routines, it is only safe to remove the srcSpriteP that
is passed to that function, or Sprites from Layers other than the one the
srcSpriteP is in. But your collideProc may remove any Sprite(s) it wishes
without any problems.
* Fixed a bug where SWCreateRegionFromGWorldAndRect wouldn't work correctly.
This bug wouldn't have affected you unless you called this function directly,
or called BlitPixie8BitFlipSprite on a Sprite with a maskRgn.
The flexibility that was added to SWCollideSpriteLayer was considered
important enough to warrant this update, even though little else has changed
since 2.2.

Subject: [*] TykeWriter
TykeWriter - Word Processor for Kids! Version 2.1.0
TykeWriter is an easy to use text editor providing an adjustable range of
features suited for both beginning and advanced child typists. The last
release was widely recommended and received a four star rating by MacWorld
publisher Ziff-Davis.
The document typing area is presented as a wire-bound notebook. A floating
pallette makes features such as New File, Save, and Exit easily available
with the click of a button, and also offers several standard text styles
such as underline or outline text. Multiple color text support is also
available.
TykeWriter supports the Speech Manager, which allows children to have fun
with various voices reading their work. If you've got kids, and want to
teach them how to use a Mac, TykeWriter is an excellent place to start.An
optional tool supports accents for European languages. TykeWriter can be
used without the keyboard, using only the mouse and on-screen alphabet. It
includes a user guide.
New features since the popular version 2.0.0:
Customizable Voices - Kids will be able to switch Speech Manager voices. If
two documents are open at once, each may have a different voice and can
speak at the same time.
Customizable Styles - Each child can have a custom default style.
Intermediate level students can choose from a customizable list of styles.
For instance, if
you only have a black and white printer, you can change all the styles to
black and white.
Online Help - Each of the "grown-ups" configuration menu has a help button.
Graceful Transitions Between Levels - In version 2.0.0, if you reconfigured
TykeWriter, it often did odd things until it was restarted. This is
corrected in version 2.1.0.
Several minor bugs fixed and adjustments.
System requirements:
* 68030 or better
* System 7.0 or later (uses only 1.5 MB of DRAM while running). It has been
tested on both System 7.1 and System 8.5.
* 1 MB of disk (hard drive) space
TykeWriter can be used for free for a one month trial period. A price of
$10 is requested for continued use. For more information, please read the

WordHunter 2.01
Will be a good solution when your file is missing somewhere in your disk.
WordHunter finds a specified text string searching every file under selected
target folder (directory) and lists up all the files containing the string.
Either data fork or resource fork can be a target and this is your choice.
>From OS8.5 Sherlock does this, but you have to make an index file first, which
will take a long time and lots of space. WordHunter does not require any
preparation, and is easy and pretty fast.
