Subject: [*] [*] FinderSounds Appearance CP Sound Set

Back when I got my first Mac, an SE running system 6, I was given a 
public domain disk distributed by Rutgers University that contained a 
Control Panel called FinderSounds which has a creation date of May 
1990.  The Soundmaster Control Panel was more popular, but I was 
always partial to the sounds provided by FinderSounds.  Leap forward 
almost a decade and Apple is supplying us with Sound Sets in the 
Appearance Control Panel, and I wondered, "Do you suppose those old 
FinderSounds would sound halfway decent if the resources were copied 
out and pasted into a copy of an Appearance Sound Set?"  Sure enough, 
it worked.

There are more sounds in the modern version, so in some placed I did 
some SoundEditing of a Platinum sound or a FinderSound, and in a 
couple of places I left the Platinum sound intact, but all of the 
original FinderSounds have a home now in this FinderSounds Soundset.

Public domain / freeware.

Subject: [*] BitTwiddler

BitTwiddler is a value conversion program. It is very powerful and 
convenient way to prototype simple computer alorithms. 

BitTwiddler displays a 32-bit value in most of the ways that they might 
be interpreted by a computer, such as integer, ASCII characters, bytes or 
a color. A value may be changed in any format, and the other values are 
automatically updated.

The quickest way to understand what BitTwiddler can do for you is to see 
the demo at <http://www.coho.net/~dlamet/pt/bt/BitTwiddlerPage.html>.

This is the Japanese version of the Clean-Install Assistant package.

Clean-Install Assistant makes it easier to migrate third-party and 
personal items to a new Clean-Installed System Folder, and it may also be 
used to:
 
*Save space and backup your valuable additions and preference files
only, instead of the whole System Folder.
*Install the same set of additions on multiple Macs.
*Remove extra files and folders from your System Folder to restore it
to a previous state: you can take a "snapshot" of the System Folder
and have Clean-Install Assistant extract any items added since.

v1.5.1 allows moving files from Mac OS 9.1 to a newer Mac OS version, or 
to/from 9.1 and previous versions.

It is free for personal and educational use.

Subject: [*] Equate! 2.0 - a mathematical card game.

Equate! is a one-player mathematical card game - you have to make 
equations by dragging arithmetic operators between the cards you're 
dealt. Try to make the longest equation you can to get the most 
points. If you can't make an equation, you'll have to deal more 
cards, whose values will be added to the current ones.  Once you've 
created an equation, you can remove it and the spaces will be filled 
with cards from the deck. There are options for how many cards will 
be dealt at a time, and you can play a timed or untimed game. Each 
combination of options has its own high score list.

HTML-Optimizer 4.0.1

What it is: Tool to check and optimize your web pages incl. images.
Author: Ton Brand
Company: Ton's Software
License: Shareware US$10
Computer: PowerPC or iMac
Mac OS: 7.5 or later (best Mac OS 8.6 or later)
Abstract:
HTML-Optimizer is the ideal tool for managing your web site. It checks your
web pages for broken links and dangling tags and optimizes both text and
graphic files.
The program offers 5 functions plus a number of useful options that make
working with HTML-Optimizer very easy. Especially the new 'duplimize'
feature comes in handy for uploading an optimized web folder. The program
has a built-in Manual and Balloon Help is supported too.
The five basic functions of HTML-Optimizer are:
1. Optimizing HTML code by removing unnecessary characters and tags, which
results in faster loading of your pages in your client's browser. Embedded
script code, e.g. JavaScript, is not ruined. Graphic file resources, which
are of no use on the web, are removed, saving 10 to 80 % of space.
2. Checking the so called tagged pairs, i.e. the tags that always have to
appear together with their end tags. Further, IMG tags are checked for
Width, Height and Alt attributes. Missing attributes are added with values
which are automatically detected.
3. Checking the validity of the internal hyperlinks, 8 levels deep.
4. Marking dangling tags and missing attributes to find and fix them
quickly.
5. Converting special characters to the &....; notation.
HTML-Optimizer 4.0.1 fixes a bug that could corrupt the application when
clicking the Register Offline button.

NoShift Needed is a clever little program written with SEVERAL people in

maybe your just LAZY. It's for you too!  It's also for you if you type a lot
of email addresses@WHEREVER. It's for you.  If you have a habit of putting a
lot of things in (parentheses). It's for you.  If you like to write in
shorthand & you use % 's a lot. It's for you.  It's for you if your into
$$$, or #'s or if you end a lot of things with this!  And lastly, if your
into  + 's and  _ 's it's for you also.

So what is it?? READ the NAME again!!

You can type the entire top numerical row and instead of123456789 - = you
get:  ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + which are a lot more useful keys and when you
need the numbers 1234567890 simply use the numeric key pad on the right side
of the keyboard. Everything above has been made WITHOUT stopping to hold

Subject: [*] Window Monkey 1.3.1 English


This is the English version of Window Monkey 1.3.1.

Window Monkey adds background pictures or textures to any window in the
Finder -- it's like "Desktop Patterns" or "Desktop Pictures", but for 
folder window backgrounds instead of the desktop.

You can color-code your windows to see at a glance what they contain, or 
use wild patterns just for fun. Give your folder of "work stuff" a 
background that looks like a legal pad, or choose a background of hearts 
for that Zip disk full of love letters.

This program also helps you better manage your windows in every 
application (not just the Finder): You can use the handy Window Monkey 
menu to quickly go to any window in any application, even if it's buried 
beneath many other windows. Window Monkey also remembers recently used 
folders and lets you instantly jump to any open or recently used folder
from an Open or Save dialog box.

Over 60 background patterns are included, and you can add as many as you 
wish by simply pasting or dragging your own pictures into the control 
panel.

Version 1.3.1:

  - works around a problem in Mac OS 9.1 that caused a conflict with
    PopChar
  - fixes a conflict with recent versions of GraphicConverter
  - the "background Finder window click" feature can now be turned off
    or assigned a key combination
  - more than a dozen new patterns are included

Window Monkey is compatible with System 7, Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 
(including 9.1).

$19.95 shareware. A Japanese version is also available.

Thanks to the readers who responded to my problem with file sharing
that was perpetually starting up, but never finished.  Turns out, I
knew the answer, I just didn't know that I knew it.  Reader Theresa
Kraft prompted me to find the AppleShare PDS invisible file at the root
level of my hard disk, make it visible, then trash it and try again.
At first I didn't think it had worked...but it (finally) did!

Reader Bill Waits suggested trashing File Sharing CP prefs, AppleShare
Prep, and AppleTalk Preferences all from the Preferences Folder; if
that didn't work, removing the above again, moving the Preferences
folder out of the System Folder, plus deleting:

>File Sharing Extension
>Apple Enet
>Apple Ethernet CS
>Apple Ethernet CS II
>Apple Ethernet LC
>Apple Ethernet NB
>Apple Built-In Ethernet
>EtherTalk Phase 2

and re-installing; once it worked, restart from a different volume and
replace the original Preferences folder.  Whew!  Glad I got it working
before having to resort to all that.  Thanks, Digesters!  Cheers,

This sounds like a perfect job for a Perl droplet. I can probably whip one up
in a few minutes. If you can't wait, look at the following utilities on
Info-Mac:

<http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/cgi-bin/NewSearch?key=split>

However, I think that these file splitters will split by size, not by number
of lines (i.e. a line could be split in the middle). In that case, a small
Perl droplet is in order.

Hello!

By mistake and my own stupidity, I threw away the file(s) that
run my wife's "ImageWriter II"

Where can I download that file to a floppy on this machine at
church that has a modem, and carry it home to get her computer
to read it?

This is a Microsoft Windows 98 IBM style machine.

	I made a big mistake on raising my frustration level, but I might
have been more frustrated if I hadn't tried.
	I tried to install an accelerator in my mac 8500 on Friday
afternoon/night and now I have to wait all weekend to find out what I did
wrong. Sonnet Crescendo techs go home on the weekends. I had to catch them
in before they left and before I could read the instructions. Then I
figured Friday's techs must suffer a lot from guys who don't bother to read
the instructions on Friday.
	I am blessed that everything still works but the new processor card.

	I don't know how to search the digest for comments on hardware. I
use to use WAIS searches (West Antarctic Ice Sheet Initiative not!!!). WAIS
(I think, wide area information service abbreviation) allows an archived
digest of e mails to be searched and connects frequently asked questions
through the years. This is very important for the progress/memory of a
community, as it keeps the same questions from being asked over and over to
the list of members to be reread. Rather an individual asks a wais server
machine. I used sherlock to find WAIS nowadays ...

	A gag is in order to prevent an unkind flame on Apple in the news
today :
	wais.sensei.com.au seems a busy busy server on Friday nights, so
maybe someone else has grown impatient this Friday because of FDA and laser
delays in Alaska (on powerbook G4).
	http://www.maccentral.com/news/0102/09.powerbook.shtml
	I know that Allan Greenspan must have something to do with this,
I've already lowered my high speed interest rate.
	;-)
	I figure that multiprocessing occurs elsewhere not elsewhen and so
not requiring high speed communications, but Alaska?
	;-)

	It is high time and late enough for me to consider some serious
milk drinking spiked with jello powder. Hey, us theoretical physicists do
think different!
