Subject: [*] ][2Mac v1.2.5

A new version of ][2Mac has been released recently and can be downloaded
from my homepage http://www.caiw.nl/~adam

][2Mac is a set of 3 applications, 1 for the Mac and 2 for the Apple-][,
that allow you to backup and restore Apple-][ floppies to/from a Mac.
The floppy-image is stored on the Mac in a format that is recognized by
IIe, the Apple //e emulator for the Mac, written by Victor and Vincent Tan
(see: http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/~vtan/sw/index.html).

One of the users of ][2Mac even reported, that he has successfully
transferred DOS 3.3-, ProDOS- as well as Pascal-formatted disks from
his Apple //e to his Mac, and that he is using the diskimages now
on his Mac, in the IIgs emulator called 'Bernie ][ the Rescue'
(see: http://www.magnet.ch/emutech/Bernie/).

Also... ][2Mac enables you to use a Macintosh to send out and receive
Apple-][-disks to and from your friends over the internet...

version history:
16-oct-1998, v1.2.5
-Enhanced the flow-control mechanism for 8 MHz Macintoshes
-Both the Mac and the Apple-][ produce more accurate screen-messages now

Kind regards,

It provides an elegant way to control the logon of Users with UserNames and
Passwords allowing control of what each user is permitted to do according

Users are tracked for logon/off times. Fraudulent logon attempts tracked.
Optimised for Macs and PCs. PLUS, 'Splash Screen' implementation, 'Help'
file elegant implementation, Version control, calendar, and much more. If
you're into this award winning database engine, which has been described as

Subject: [*] AlwaysONline 2.03 Released

AlwaysONline works with nearly all versions of America Online (including
4.0) to recognize and dismiss all different types of "timer" messages
that, if unanswered, could cause you to be logged off AOL.
Fully configurable, AlwaysONline can be set to do everything from playing
a sound when a timer message is detected, to switching AOL to the front
whenever AOL creates any type of window in the background.
Version 2.0 of AlwaysONline sports a new interface, and a new, more
powerful learning feature, in additional to some extra features such as
"SmartCheck."

AlwaysONline is compatible with all 68020 and greater Macintoshes (i.e.
Macintosh II and up), and is compatible with Mac OS 7.0 and higher.

Subject: [*] Austrian Patch for Mac OS 8.5

So Apple forgot about Austria. They have localization codes for almost
any country, including Lapland and the Faeroe Islands, but not for the
country of Mozart, Beethoven, Sachertorte and The Sound of Music.  ;-)

So far, this didn't matter all that much, but since OS 8.5 it does. You
see, OS 8.5 offers automatic compatibility for non-Western web pages, and
if you install this feature, you have a permanent keyboard menu in your
menu bar (as you did in OS 8 if you had more than one keyboard mapping
selected in the Keyboard control panel).

This means that Austrian users have to stare at the German flag all the
time while they're sitting at their computer. I decided to change that.

This little patch adds some Austrian data to your system file,
*replacing* the corresponding German ones. You'll notice the difference
in the control panels Date & Time, Keyboard and Numbers, plus, of course,
in the keyboard menu.

This patch only works with the US-English version of Mac OS 8.5. It does
not yet work with the German version. I will make a patch for the German
OS as it becomes available.

work fine, but there is no implicit or explicit warranty that it works.
If it damages your computer, if you lose any data, or if anything nasty
happens, I am not to be made responsible.

Freeware

This patch is absolutely free and may be distributed freely, as long as
no money is charged for it.

Subject: [*] Austrian Patch for Mac OS D-8.1

This patch is similar to the one I posted earlier today. The other one
was for OS 8.5, this one patches the German version of Mac OS 8.1. It
adds some Austrian data to your system file, *replacing* the
corresponding German ones and thus compensating the lack of Austrian
localization resources in the Mac OS. You'll notice the difference in the
control panels Datum & Uhrzeit, Tastatureinstellungen and Zahlenformate,
plus, of course, in the keyboard menu.

This patch only works with the German version of Mac OS 8.1. Do not
attempt to install it over other versions.

the file path, and field "Text 2" will contain the text.

Type Command-2 to read in every text file of the selected folder, and*  read

Type Command-3 to move the original file contained in the current record to
the trash.

Although this has been well tested on my 6100/66 - G3 with no problems, it is
possible that you may experience errors or crashes on your setup. I cannot be

Subject: [*] htmElevation--Web page optimizer for the Macintosh

htmElevation does two things: It enhances the typography of your
web pages, and it substantially optimizes them. The enhancements
include ISO-entity conversion and optional "curly" quote and dash
conversion. These changes may seem impractical, but they will
make your pages look more professional. And converting special
characters to their ISO entities may make the difference between
readable text and gibberish with some browsers.

Why optimize?

No one has to be sold on the practicality of HTML optimization.
Optimized pages store smaller. They transmit smaller and faster.
They are interpreted by Web browsers _much_ faster: Because they
are received by the browser faster, and because there's less
work for the browser to do. The text on a web page processed by
htmElevation snaps onto the screen, giving your users something
to read while the graphics load.

How does it work?

htmElevation parses your HTML, typographically enhancing the text
and optimizing the HTML coding. Your pages will have the same
appearance after processing by htmElevation, but they'll be
faster and better-looking. Your files will be from 2% to 25%
smaller, and the code we're optimizing is code that slows
browsers down. Your pages will transmit faster, and they'll
display _much_ faster.

Why bother?

Because you can have smart quotes and dashes. You can have
ISO-entity conversion so you'll _know_ that your legal and
math symbols and diacritical marks will be readable. You can have
HTML optimization that will make your pages transmit faster and
display _much_ faster. You can have all that in no time with
no effort. If you care about your users, if you care about
quality, if you care about putting your best foot forward--you
need htmElevation.

Try it out...

Run htmElevation on your Web pages and drop them on your browser.

Subject: [*] ICFileDiverter 1.2.4

Attached please find the latest version of ICFileDiverter. Use this
application to open documents based on the filename extension and the
corresponding application in Internet Config. For example, if you edit
your HTML files in BBEdit, so their Mac file type is TEXT and creator is
R*ch and the Finder opens them in BBEdit but the post-processing application
for .html is set to be Netscape in Internet Config, it will be opened in
Netscape after a drag on ICFileDiverter. Keep a copy or alias of ICFD
on your Desktop and you never need to dig through folders any more!

This version does not any new features but is updated for 8.5 (ie. I
added Nav Services to it).

Subject: [*] LogEdit

LogEdit allows you to log your sound and video tapes creating
a FileMaker Pro database of transcripts and descriptions using
the time code or actual time of in and out points for each log.
Once all the information has been entered you can easily find
any entry using keywords for the locations, characters or the
transcripts.

You can also do a "paper edit" based on an order you choose
by number. You can print the entire log or any part of it, and
whatever "paper edit" you may have performed.

Some fields are set up for you to select from a predefined list
to cut down the typing. Each of these lists can be edited to
suit your particular needs. The other fields are organised so
you can simply Tab from one to the next.

LogEdit is ShareWare for Mac and Windows.

MacOS 8.5 Managers is a collection of 2 small AppleScripts that will help you
work effectively with Apple's new and exciting OS, 8.5, also known as Allegro.

The first file, Scroll Manager, will help you deal with that stubid command
"Smart Scrolling". I give you the option of just using double arrows, but at bot
ends or a few other alternatives.

The other AppleScript helps you configure the Application Switcher dock to fit
your way of working. Please se the separate read me for additional information.

These AppleScripts should work on any machine that is capable of running
Allegro, and that means all PowerPC-based computers.

Subject: [*] Noflet 2.2.1 (formerly known as Teflon)

Mac OS 8 introduced a new feature called "sticky menus," where the menus
would stay down after the user clicks in the menu bar or on a pop-up menu.
This is a change from the way menus worked in previous versions of the
system software, where the menus would always go away after the user let go
of the mouse button.  Noflet is a control panel which is designed to
disable or adjust this dubious "feature."  Additionally, it includes an
option to have menus automatically open whenever the mouse pointer is over
the menu bar, with no clicking required.

Noflet 2.2.1 changes the name of the program, at the request of E.I. du
Pont de Nemours and Company, which owns the "Teflon" trademark.

Noflet currently runs properly only under Mac OS 8.0 and 8.1.  This version
is NOT compatible with Mac OS 8.5.  An 8.5-compatible release will be under
development as soon as I obtain a copy of Mac OS 8.5.

Noflet is freeware and may be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.  This file
should replace all previous versions of Teflon.

he/she chose is an expensive one to use.

The new version can now limit access to up to six printers.
