Subject:Oliva 2-1.0.1 for Kaleidoscope 2

Oliva 2 is a complete reworking of my original Oliva scheme, for
Kaleidoscope 2.0 or higher. It features popup window tabs (instead of
traditional full width windows) as its theme on all windows, movable
dialogues and movable alerts. All the tabs and popups in the scheme follow
the popup window design motif, plus: a new menu bar, apple icon and
pull-down menus; new LSF and SSF resources and new OS8 style olive-toned
folders and cursors;the OS8 list view resources;and integrated desktop
pattern, window pattern and finder colors. Version 1.0.1 is "Dr. Pimento"
inspired, tested and approved, and contains several minor changes and fixes.

Subject: [*] BlackWatch 1.3

BlackWatch 1.3
A simple Macintosh screen saver.

BlackWatch is a screen saver application that provides the ability to
lock your screen with password protection. It's small, quick, simple,
compatible, and free.

BlackWatch runs on any Macintosh (or compatible) with Color QuickDraw.
This includes pretty much everything except a Macintosh Plus or SE. The
application is distributed as a "fat" binary, with native code for both
68K and PowerPC. It will run in 64K of RAM (128K is recommended).
System 7.0 or later is required.

Summary of changes since version 1.2:
  - Added a Y2K (Year 2000) countdown timer.
  - Added a "Sleep immediately at startup" option.
  - Added a "Bondi blue" option for the Apple Logo style.
  - BlackWatch will now wake up from sleep if a modifier key is pressed.
  - Fixed a crash when the Preferences dialog was opened under Mac OS 8.5.
  - Fixed a bug which caused a crash if you had drawing turned off, then
    cancelled the password dialog when waking up from sleep.
  - Fixed a bug where BlackWatch would occasionally go to sleep while the
    mouse was moving, or during typing.
  - Fixed a bug where BlackWatch would always go to sleep if the mouse
    entered the Sleep Now corner, regardless of whether it remained there.
  - Fixed a bug where moving the mouse into the Sleep Now corner would do
    nothing if BlackWatch was in front.
  - Fixed a small memory leak when displaying the password dialog.

Here's what users are saying about BlackWatch:

  "BlackWatch is excellent, and will very soon be the minimalist
   screensaver of choice for the Mac."

  "I like it because it is simple and functional."

  "Very useful and great!!"

  "The ONLY screensaver I've tried so far that hasn't caused conflicts."

  "Addresses the screensaver bloatware issue with style and grace."

Subject: [*] Coffee Break 3.2.1a

Coffee Break is a simple, Mac-only application designed to help prevent
Repetitive Stress Injuries. One of the most important things you should
do if you have an RSI or think you're at risk of getting an RSI is to
take frequent breaks from your computer. Coffee Break helps to do this by
forcing you to take breaks. You can set the length of the break and the
amount of time between breaks.

To the keepers of the archive:
This file should replace any older versions of Coffee Break.

Subject: [*] Mortgage Simulator

The aim of Mortgage Simulator is for people to be able to prepare a home budget
in order to help them save money and take out a mortgage.  There are three parts
to the program.

First, there is an easy to use window where household spending details are
entered for annual, quarterly, monthly, fortnightly and weekly expenses.  When
this is completed the amount of savings available to put towards a mortgage is
calculated.

Second, is a window where all the upfront costs involved in purchasing a
home are
entered.  This enables the user to know how much money is needed well before
buying a home should be considered.

Third, comes the most important part.  There is a window which allows the
user to
enter mortgage details (principal, interest rate, repayments, account fees, etc)
and compare different mortgage options in order to find the most competitive one
on the market.

The user can also build up a scenario involving changes over time to the
mortgage
 such as: interest rate changes, one-off large payments, changes in payment
details, or even determining whether a mortgage would still be viable if there
was a dramatic change in income.

The is a very handy untility for exploring all mortgage options.

Subject: [*] SwitcherSetter 1.0

Included with Mac OS 8.5 is a wonderful feature called the Application
Switcher -- a configurable palette that shows your currently running
applications.

Apple enabled the Application Switcher with a ton of different options
but no easy way for the user to set them. That's where SwitcherSetter
comes in (or if you're from Boston, "SwichaSetta").

SwitcherSetter offers an easy-to-use interface to modify all of the
different Application Switcher options and settings. SwitcherSetter is
fully PowerPC-native and Mac OS 8.5-savvy, including Theme support and
even Balloon Help!

Be sure to check out the SwitcherSetter web site at

               <http://www.channel1.com/users/cg601/aso/>

SwitcherSetter is freeware, actually more specifically, it's beerware. If
you ever run into me at a bar in the Boston area and want to buy me a
beer, I won't turn you down.

Subject: [*] TNT Nag! 1.21

This is the fourth version of "TNT Nag!" to be sent to your site. The
previous versions are entitled "TNT Nag! 1.0", "TNT Nag! 1.1" and "TNT
Nag! 1.2" and should now be removed if still present.
I believe there is already a program called "Nag" on your site. This
piece of software, "TNT Nag!" should not be confused with it as they are
very different and totally unrelated. Please bear this in mind when
uploading this and future updates of both "TNT Nag!" and "Nag".

I have checked this program for viruses using Disinfectant.
I give permission for my program to be included on any CD-ROM and on any
other shareware site or BBS.

Abstract:

TNT Nag! 1.21
by Mark Tully & TNT Software

TNT Nag! is a quick & very easy to use reminder utility for the
Macintosh with many features found in commercial products.
Appointments can be set which you do not wish to forget about and Nag!
will remind you of them at the proper time. Custom sounds and pictures
can be chosen to appear with your message and messages can be grouped
and edited with ease and set to reoccur regularly; you will never miss
your favourite TV program again!
Nag! has a very small memory footprint and runs in the continuously in
the background. It is an application so it does not cause any extension
conflicts like some time managment products and whenever you need an
extra 200k of ram you can quit it.
As part of the Nag! package there is also a control panel called "Quick
Nag!". You can use this to set up hot keys for creating messages from
inside any application, making Nag! even quicker to use. Quick Nag! is
NOT required for Nag! to function.

System Requirements:
=95 System 7 or greater
=95 250k free ram

=46or more information see the enclosed manuals.

VideoScript is a powerful tool which harnesses the multimedia capabilities
of QuickTime(tm) to provide, for the first time, an integrated easy-to-use
environment for working with digital video in real-time.

With a single VideoScript program, you can detect movement at home, take a
photograph and email the image to your office. The power of VideoScript
lies in
its ability to manipulate images with the ease that normal programming
languages manipulate numbers. Because of this, VideoScript is also ideal
for creating unique special effects.

VideoScript requires QuickTime 3.0, PowerPC and System 7.5.5 or later.
