This program simulates an airport.
Schedule plane arrivals and departures but avoid plane collisions! The
program works by itself but you can change arrivals and departures at any
time. Please DO read the README file (it's short!) and reading the
'About...' dialog is a MUST!

Subject: [*] A Mess O' Trouble v1.7
"...if a detailed, nonlinear plot, plenty of puzzles to solve and strange
worlds to explore are what counts with you, you're in luck, because Trouble
provides that -- at a rock bottom price. Everything from the graphics to
the gameplay to the written descriptions of the rooms is of professional
quality."
-- Mac Home Journal, October 1994
A Mess O'Trouble is a multi-layered, richly-textured graphic adventure game
that will keep you entertained for days or even weeks. (And you don't have
to know anything about the first game to play this one.)
A Mess O'Trouble keeps violence to a minimum, without being boring, insipid
or "politically correct". Even when defeating the most villianous creatures
you will use your brain more than your gun.
A Mess O'Trouble takes place in the twisted worlds of Ray's Maze, a
multi-dimensional spacial anomaly. Explore old mines and search for lost
gold in an authentic Nevada ghost town. Learn the secrets of Techtron
artifacts in the Void. Escape from the mysterious Isle of Lucy. Battle
bureaucratic bungling in Monolith City, and discover the weirdness and
wonders of the Enchanted Forest.
The result of over 1000 hours of work, this game includes 137 sounds
(including 105 new sounds!), 300 scenes, dozens of characters, more than
1400 objects, and some of the best black & white graphics you've ever seen.
All this AND plenty of wit and humor too!
A Mess O' Trouble should run on any Mac OS computer running System 3 or
higher. Sounds may not work on the Macintosh XL or any AV or PowerPC Mac.
Version 1.7 adds special fix codes to allow people who have trapped
themselves in an untenable situation to finish the game. Email the author
for more information.
The author is Ray Dunakin (raydunakin@aol.com), and he asks for a $10
shareware fee if you like and keep the game.

From: ssample@larisoftware.com (Stephen Sample)
Subject: [*] Apple Electrifier 2.0 - Object-oriented Internet Animation
Apple Electrifier is an Internet graphics and animation solution based on
Mac OS Graphics technology from Apple Computer, Inc. The Electrifier
playback software lets users view large-scale object-oriented graphics
and animation in as little as 1K, allowing rapid download over the
Internet. These low-bandwidth object-oriented animations can be hundreds
of times smaller in size than equivalent bitmap animations.
Future releases will add support for Apple Electrifier graphics and
animation within QuickTime(R) movies, and take advantage of Java and
other complementary technologies.
Apple Electrifier is currently available as a plug-in for Netscape
Navigator and Navigator-compatible browsers.
Example animations and authoring tools are available at
<http://www.electrifier.com/>
Apple Electrifier requires System 7.5.
Version 2.0 is PowerPC-only, but a 68k version is under development.

Subject: [*] BirthdayChecker 2.1
BirthdayChecker 2.1
------------------
BirthdayChecker is a small and ultra fast program which scans a TEXT-file
and searches for birthdays which will be interesting in the next few days.
If you put an alias in the startup-folder, your mac will check the
birthdays every day for you! The number of days to warn before is
adjustable. In the same way you can choose, if you want to use the
German-date-format (DD.MM) or the American-format (MM.DD). The header
displayed in the birthday window and the width of the window is
adjustable,too. Also the maximum number of starts per day.
It's a FAT version so it runs fast in both Mac worlds (680x0 and PowerPC).
Hope you'll enjoy it!
1.6 [15.12.95] Fixed a bug so the automatic termination of the program is
now working correctly. No more a Fat version but two seperate versions for
both processor types for a better using of memory and performance. Added
the option "E" for "Europe"- Date-Format so you can use the English titles
with the old "German" date format! Fixed a stupid bug in the calculate age
procedure! Fixed a bug which prevents to recognize events occuring in the
next year! 2.0 [24.02.96] Partly new written code. Complete new interface
for adjusting parameters. Handling is now a little bit more Mac-like! New
functions. Minor bugfixes. 2.01 Fixed a silly bug which sometimes bring out
a registration box although it is registered. 2.02 New email address.
Recompiled with CW8. 2.1 Sound and volume can now be adjusted. Remembers
window position.

Subject: [*] Days To Go 2.0.0 - count down to any entered date
Shareware $10
Are you someone who gets really annoyed at those people who always seem to
know how many days it is until a certain event (ie: "Hi John, did you know
it's only 278 more days to my birthday? Better make sure you buy me a
present!"). Well, if you can't beat them, join them.
This handy little application and extension combination will let you do
just that. Every time you restart your computer, a message will appear on
the screen telling you how many days there are until/since the dates you
have entered. Use it to annoy your friends, count down to Christmas, remind
yourself of anniversaries, or to know how much longer that someone special
in your life is going to be away.
Version 2.0.0 allows the user to enter multiple dates, to show the number
of days since a date in the past, and to change the position of the message
on the screen at startup.

This is a full feature trial version of InDisk 1.4. It is used to
"catalog" the contents of a disk, and print the "catalog" of the disk
and a folding pattern onto a 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of plain paper (with one
keystroke). Make three folds and a tuck and you have a neat sleeve
which shows the contents of the disk in hierarchal order and protects
the disk. The listing, by name, along with the date, time of last
modification and file size is shown as if all folders were open.
(InDisk does not actually open the folders or augment your disk in
anyway; it just shows it like that.) This neat labeless-labeler provides
a fast and easy way of labeling all your disks for filing or for
sending to another person. It eliminates the age old problem of messy
handwritten disk labels. InDisk Ver 1.5 (to be released by Jan 1,
1997) will catalog over 250 items on a ZIP disk and print a label which
will fit into the ZIP disk case. Registration is just $9.95 The Upgrade
is free to registered users visit our WEB site for more info or to
register go to http://members.aol.com/indisk/
System requirements:
* System 6 & up

Subject: [*] New Menu 1.0b3 adds a hierarchical menu to your Finder
New Menu adds a hierarchical menu to your Finder's New Folder menu
choice. Create a folder named "New Documents" in your system folder,
and any files in that folder will appear on that hierarchical menu.
These files should be various new documents for your various
applications.
When you select one of those file names, New Menu copies that file into
your Finder's window (whereever the Finders New Folder would have
created the folder). It's a copy, so you can open and modify it without
changing your "blank" document in the "New Documents" folder. Also the
System Beep at startup is when the INIT loads and if any one can disable
this I will make them the co author.
New Menu requires system 7 (although it's only been tested on 7.5.5).

Subject: [*] Pattern Manager 1.0
With the myriad of other desktop pattern installers out there, why
another desktop pattern manager? Simple: none of them had the features
that I wanted. None are native for the Power Macintosh; only System
7.5's Desktop Patterns control panel supports drag and drop; and most
don't import pictures as well as I would like. Worst of all, with every
desktop pattern installer out there, there is no easy way to preview all
the patterns in a file at once, or to import many files in at once. So I
wrote one.
Pattern Manager=97"PatMan"=97does all those things. It displays patterns
with their names in a user-sizable grid, installs patterns into the
System File, and sets the utilities pattern (which other desktop pattern
installers don't do). It fully supports drag and drop between files, the
Scrapbook, the Finder, and any other program that supports drag and
drop. Just click on a pattern and drag it where you want it. It fully
supports cut and paste (of course). It has the best PICT importer
available, and, surprisingly remarkable for a desktop pattern manager,
it has resizeable windows.

Subject: [*] PPP-Connect 1.2
Many people who use MacOs 7.5.5 and PPP have a choice between
OpenTransport/PPP and FreePPP. Many people saw some speed improvements with
OT/PPP but went back to FreePPP because they preferred the interface.
This AppleScript lets you use OpenTransport/PPP while providing an
interface similar to FreePPP. It includes the ability to choose "sets"
that contain your location, dialup phone number, TCP/IP setting, and
login name. There are several optional features such as saving password
and quiet mode.
The script is distributed in 2 versions. The standard version runs on all
machines (68k & PPC) and requires the user to initially set up the dialing
information. Menus allow adding/editing additional locations and accounts.
The enhanced version of the script automatically obtains location and
account information from FreePPP settings and uses them for OT/PPP, and
requires a PPC machine and additional software.

Subject: [*] QuickScrap 1.1
QuickScrap (QS) can do things to make your life so much easier when using
your Macintosh. Have you ever wanted to be able to easily store a piece
of information from any document you're reading or editing? Here's how
it's done with and without QuickScrap:
Without QuickScrap:
- select the information
- type Command-C to copy
- switch to finder or use the apple menu
- open your other application or scrapbook
- type Command-V to paste in the info
- switch back to the first application
- continue where you left off
With QuickScrap:
- select the info
- type your QS hotkey
- continue
With QuickScrap, you can send the data on the clipboard instantly to a
scrapbook file, a ScrapIt Pro file or a QuickScrap file by pressing a key
(or keys) of your choice! The QuickScrap file can be used as a multiple
clipboard containing as many as 100 items (you choose how many items it
will hold). You can have QuickScrap automatically copy any selection
you've made in any document you're working on and send the data directly
to a scrap file with one keystroke.
Some uses for QuickScrap:
* keep a multiple clipboard (10, 25, 50 or 100 items) instead of just the
one by using the QuickScrap file
* email address 'glossary'
* easy access to graphic elements
* source for 'dingbat' characters
* autopaste list of standard 'boilerplate' paragraphs

Subject: [*] ServerMounter 1.1
Or "Server on the Mount", or the poor man's KeyChain.
This application creates documents which, when double-clicked, quickly
log you into an AppleShare server.
The documents store an alias to the server and your username and
password. (The password is encrypted).
To create a new document, open just the ServerMounter application (ie:
don't open a document), drag the icon of the server you want to store
into the document window, (you'll see the machine, volume, and zone
appear), enter your username and password, and save the document.
To use a document, just double-click the document. If ServerMounter is
launched by opening a document it will quickly log you in and then quit
itself.
The app works by resolving an alias to the server and poking the required
keystrokes into the event queue to type the password and username in the
log-in dialog. So, it's a bit of a "hack" and I know that in some
situations, background processes and extensions can defeat this scheme by
gobbling my keystrokes.
Requires 68020 or better and a system with drag & drop.
Anyway, hope you like it, I find it saves me time. ServerMounter is free,
but I'd like you to contact me for permission to include it in
collections that people pay for.

Smart Dubbing Pro 1.2v1
Smart Dubbing Pro is the professional edition of the freeware Smart Dubbing
Lite (available in directory: /gst/mov/)
Smart Dubbing=81 is a software utility which enables small videoclips to be
played on a web page as they download. Smart Dubbing uses existing animated
GIF-technology to show inline movies.
Most important: this technique doesn't need special server software,
cgi-scripts, Hot Java, Macromedia plug-ins, helper applications and all the
stuff which makes it so complicated to put movement on a web page. The
software actually takes a QuickTime movie and compresses it into a single
GIF-file that can be recognised by Netscape 2.0 or higher.
Smart Dubbing Pro had several sound features. Java sound, plugin support,
sound recording, various compression schemes and Audio CD conversion. Input
sound is either a CD soundtrack, a Quicktime movie, or an external source
(this can be a microphone or line-feed, such as taperecorders). On the
output side, there are two formats supported: Sun's AU format, used in
Java. And AIFF, also a very common cross platform sound format.

Smart Dubbing Pro requires:

Subject: [*] SoundApp 2.2.1
This replaces the recently uploaded 2.2, which contained a serious bug.
I'm happy to announce the availability of SoundApp 2.2.1. SoundApp is the
premiere sound playback and conversion utility for the Macintosh. It is
suitable for use as a sound-playing helper application with any of the
popular WWW browsers, in addition to managing a collection of favorite
sound samples and stand-alone usage. SoundApp remains freeware, so you
may use it at no cost. Information regarding licensing the conversion
and playback routines can be found in the internal "About SoundApp..."
documentation.
SoundApp 2.2.1 fixed a problem upgrading the preferences from 2.1.1
to the new 2.2 format which would corrupt the file.
SoundApp requires the following:
* At least a 68020 or PowerPC-based Macintosh (sorry 68000 users!),
* System 7.0 or greater, and
* Sound Manager 3.1 or greater (3.1 can be obtained from Apple and 3.2
is included in System 7.5.3 or greater).
In addition, the following optional items are recommended:
* QuickTime 2.0 or greater for QuickTime support (2.5 preferred),
* The Drag Manager for drag and drop use in the Play Lists (part of
System 7.5 and later),
* A PowerPC-based Macintosh for MPEG support and better performance.
SoundApp supports the following sound formats:
* SoundCap (including Huffman-compressed),
* SoundEdit (including stereo, MACE-3 and MACE-6),
* AIFF, AIFF-C (MACE-3, MACE-6, IMA 4:1 and mu-law),
* System 7 sound,
* QuickTime MooV (soundtracks only, including MIDI movies),
* Sun Audio .au and NeXT .snd (including mu-law, a-law, 8- and 16-bit
linear, G.721 ADPCM and G.723 ADPCM),
* Windows WAVE (including GSM-, IMA- and MS ADPCM-compressed, mu-law
and a-law),
* MPEG audio (layers I and II only, requires a Power Macintosh),
* Sound Blaster VOC,
Please note that I have no plans to support System 6.0.x, 68000-based Macs,
MPEG on 680x0-based Macs or earlier versions of the Sound Manager. Sorry..

Sum*It is an easy to use, goodlooking, lightweight spreadsheet.
It is PowerPC native, has drag&drop support, contains

One major advantage of Sum*It compared to other spreadsheets
is that it takes up very little memory when using small or

Subject: "TIA" Survey
Well, many thanks to those 40 or so friendly Info-Mac'ers that
responded to my request for the full meaning of the abbreviation "TIA."
The general consensus is that it means "thanks in advance," which makes
sense considering the context it's usually seen in. Quite a few folks
also let me know that it stands for "The Internet Adapter," a piece of
networking software (apparently) that allows you to sneak a PPP
connection through your dial-up UNIX account. Not too practical these
days considering the low cost and wide availability of regular PPP
accounts. One individual even suggested that TIA could stand for
"Turkish International Airlines." Hehe, there's one on every list! :-D

I think the content of that column changes as time goes by. So if the
message was sent today it's listed with a *time*, if it was sent not today
but still in the last week then it lists a *day*, and finally if it was
sent more than a week ago it lists the *date*.

I've been using Virtual Desktop 1.9 for about 6 months (it is in the gui

So, I'm curious as to what other programs are out there and how people

Pedro Johansson asked about obtaining different screen resolutions on a

There is a very informative article in the info-mac archive, which relates
specifically to the Quadra 700 and 900 series of Macs, but which I expect also
applies to some extent to newer Macs. It lists amongst other things, the sense
pin connections which tell the Mac which display modes are supported by the
monitor. Apple monitors have these connections built in, but 3rd party monitors
need an external adaptor to make the connections.
The file may be obtained from
info-mac/_Information/_Hardware/quadra-video-notes.txt

It probably has a setting for "autosync 1152 x 864", or another, higher
than your required 800 x 600.
1. Set it to 640 x 480.
2. Go to the Control panel, and make sure it displays this one.
3. change the settings of the adapter to one of these "autosync"
(or "multisync") sizes.
4. Restart
5. Go to the Control panel "monitors" and look which sizes you see.
Select 800 x 600 and your screen should adjust without need to
restart.
Just make sure that you don't set a resolution in the contropl panel
which - although within the range of the adapter setting - is not
supported by your display.

See above. If you select "hard" resolutions, you can't change it via
software, but if you use "autosync" or "multisync", you can change it
using the monitor control panel.

In the "Settings" dialog, there is a "Date Display" option. If you
have it set to "Age-sensitive", it will display the time for any
messages received on the current day, the day of the week for messages
less than a week old, and the full date for messages older than a
week.
So "4:56 AM" would mean you received the message this morning,
"Saturday" would mean the last Saturday that occurred, 12/24/96 would
mean exactly that (and imply that it's at least a week after the 24th
of December, 1996).
You can also set the option to "Fixed", in which the timestamp of a
message always shows the time and the date, like "1:44 PM 12/23/96".

Eudora's dates/times are relative. A message received today shows the time
it arrived. If from the past week, it shows which day. Prior to that, it
shows the date.
Check out your settings in the "Date Display" section and change the "Date
format" from age-sensitive to fixed.

I imagine you are using the new Eudora Lite 3.
1. Turn on balloon help.
2. Pull down the "Special" menu to "Settings."
3. Select the "Date Display" settings.
4. Move the cursor over the various options and choose one you like.
5. Click "OK."
The operation as you describe it is a new feature. Mail that arrives
"today" (whichever day that is) shows time of arrival. Mail that arrived
during the previous 6 days shows the day of the week. Mail older than 7
days shows the date. You can also choose the old boring display as you
describe.

Netscape 2.02 runs fine on a Macintosh IIvx with System 7.5.5.
You should check your version of the program. Is compiled for 680x0 Macs,
Power Macs or both (as a fat binary)? If you try to start a Power Macintosh
only program on a 680x0 Macintosh, you may immediately get an error -192
"resource not found". This means that the usual CODE resources with 680x0
program code are not present; Power PC code is stored in the data fork
instead.

Curtis--
Until this summer, I worked for one of the stores you mentioned as a
salesperson in a Washington store. I was also one of the company's few Mac
champions, and was very vocal in supporting the Mac and helping determine
our marketing plan (which models to sell, what promotions to run, etc.)
Over the past year, the Powerbook 5300 fiasco hurt retailers badly. We were
selling 5300s and having a return rate of close to 50% (vs. 10% for most
computers). Then last spring, Apple told us to ship all our stock back to
them. We didn't get more than a few dozen (spread over a few dozen stores!)
for several months. And by the time they were finally available again, the
1400 was right around the corner.
I'm no longer working in retail (I'm a technician and support provider) but
I'm sure what's going on is that the 1400 is in such short supply, Computer
City and Future Shop don't have the stock to put a demo in each store.
Interest in the 5300's, since they were such a lousy model, has plummeted
now that the 1400s are "available" and the 3400s are close at hand. Circuit
City usually only stocks two or three Performas. Incredible Universe is
having major problems (they may be sold by Tandy) and might not have the
cash resources to stock any but sure sellers.
Another point: for a retailer, putting a demo out for a product that simply
isn't available is very poor customer service, and ends up frustrating more
people. Whenever this happened, someone would invariably ask to buy the
demo, even if there would be no discount. Then we sell a "used" computer to
someone who really wanted it, when we could have simply left it in the box
and sold whoever got there first a new one. Also, we sometimes kept
products that we had limited supply on in a central warehouse. So if 3
people in Salt Lake want one, and we have 3 in our warehouse, we send all 3
to Salt Lake. But if we had a demo in every store, and none in the
warehouse....
But Apple is notoriously awful at shipping new models in sufficient
quantity at introduction. Some of the sales reps at my company (who sell
several hundred computers at a pop) have had their own personal 1400s on
order since they were introduced, and have not yet received them.
So, there are a number of reasons why you're not seeing PowerBooks at
retailers. But I won't pretend that lack of interest in Macintosh sales on
the part of the retailers is another significant contributor.
My suggestion: You probably won't find ANY 1400's on demo ANYWHERE for at
least another month. But check to see if there are any smaller Apple
dealers around. They may have 5300s on demo still.
Good luck.

The easiest method of all is to compose your document in Tex-Edit Plus and
then just save it as a SimpleText document (can save as ReadOnly, too!)
with all the pictures intact!

It was superseded by Belgian Postcards (written by Karl Pottie

Subject: Removing anchors from html documents
Some time back I left a query here about how to remove links (anchors) from
my html documents so that Internet Assistant for Word 6 would not turn them
into fields which could not be read by PageMaker 6. I wanted to preserve
the text which constituted the link but turn it into ordinary, unlinked
text, so that
<A HREF="blather.html">Important words</A>
becomes
Important words
I also wanted to preserve the html code which would tell Internet Assistant
to make certain words italic and others bold, so turning the whole document
into plain text was not an option.
The solution turns out to be using the Grep search ability of BBEdit.
First in BBEdit 4.02 (or any other version that supports Grep), chose
"Find" from the Search menu. In the Search For field, enter
<A HREF=.*>(.*)</A>
and in the
Change To field, enter
\1
Then choose "Replace All." Presto, your links are all turned into ordinary
text.
Patrick Woolsey, Director of Technical Services at Bare Bones Software,
provided this solution and gives this explanation:
>where the first part of the search pattern '<A HREF=' is just the
>appropriate string for that bit of an anchor tag, '.*' means "match zero or

Hi James
There's a slicker solution than Applescript. Somebody at Microsoft wrote
("in his garage") a PIM which makes 5.1a speak. You drop it into your
COMMANDS folder, and get two new menu-items in TOOLS: "Pick Voice" and
"Speak Selection".
It's a well-kept secret, and is offered by MS strictly on an "as-is"
basis. I couldn't find it on the MS "Ignorance Base", and you may have to
grovel a bit to get a copy out of them. Not sure how to start, but I got
mine from the MS forum on CIS.
I have a copy that I've been using for a year or two. It's reliable, but
conflicts with SCSI manager (I think with v4.3, but I wouldn't swear to
it. WORD-speak seemed more valuable than SCSI manager so I ditched the
latter). Only other drawbacks are those of text-to-speech itself: needs a
reasonably high spec machine with a decent amount of memory for the high
quality voices, but it works fine on my clunky old Quadra 650.
I also use Prefab Player to make Word 5.1a scriptable, and IMHO, this and
the Word-Speak PIM make the up?grade to 6 unnecessary.

Either will do; for AppleScript you need an OSAX. I use OneClick to read me

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I have always thought that Virtual

24MB ram installed that I lost 25 MB of didk space. That's a steep price
to pay for a little extra memory. Is this how's its always been and I
didn't notice because I had only 8MB previusly or is this new feature of

My brand-new Powerbase 180 is using the new EDO DIMMs. I was under the
impression that there's nothing newer than that. Also of concern to me was
the M*Power boards not being processor upgradeable. (This is my
understanding for the 603e based machines - not sure about the 604).

The SR1000 is a lower-end case with AC-DC capabilities intended for use in
portable applications. The SR2000 has the digital active termination and
the ICE2 heat reduction technology. I recommend and use SR2000 enclosures
for several disks and a DAT. I'd be willing to bet that an SR2000 enclosed
