re
have the System addition 'QuickTime' version 1.6 that requires the
presence of a
68020 processor or better. You also need System 7.# or better; 2,5 MB (even
better 3,5 MB) free in RAM (if your system contains many fonts you might nee=
d
more space in RAM and you might need to upgrade the RAM-settings in the
Info-dialogue for PhotoProject). A color screen 14', (with a minimum of 256
colors, even better with 1000 colors) For a better performance turn off the
virtual memory.
The performance of Photoproject is better when you copy it onto your hard di=
sk.
PhotoProject consists of several parts and can only function if at least one=
of
the following parts are present in the same folder:

Subject: [*] Blade 1.3 - Bevel & texture filter
Now, create appealingly 'touchable' 3-D appearances with Blade, the
Photoshop filter that combines textures with bevels. Blade puts you in
control of lighting and surfaces, and offers an unmatched selection of
edge styles. Quickly make eye-catching text, buttons, and more.
Version 1.3 fixes an interface problem on 68K Macs, and uses less
memory. It is also compatible again with Photoshop 2.5.
Blade is shareware for Macintosh. Besides Photoshop 2.5 or later, it
works with Color It, Fractal Design Painter, and Pixel Paint Pro.
On the web, it can be downloaded from

Illustrator or FreeHand, adding them the possibility to produce vinyl
cutted drawing and text for signmaking, using cutting plotters. The Lite
version lacks the client/server architecture and the more sophisticated
functions of the complete software, but it's anyway a full-fledged
product: the handbook included describes both version, pointing out the
differences.
The release included is 1.5

Last generation graphic software have the possibility to extend their
functions via external modules: the plug-ins you've found here are some
examples of such extensions.
These small pieces of software are actually working with Adobe
Illustrator 5, 5.5 and 6 & Macromedia FreeHand 5 & 7.
Scale This item allows the "real-size" dimensioning of a drawing,
choosing the reference point of the scaling.
X-Height This filter works on a selected text object. It calculates the
"real" text height (i.e. the height based on capital letters) of the
first letter in the text block and allows to scale the text
proportionally.
Complexity This filter calculates some useful data on the objects
selected. The perimeter and area are shown, and a relationship between
these is taken as a complexity index for the drawing, useful when the
cost of a job depends on such a parameter.

Subject: [*] GoMac 1.2 release: bug fix update
We thought you might like to know that an update GoMac, version 1.2, has
been officially released.
Other than a few added key commands, there are no new features added to
this version. In other words, there is no urgent reason to download
version 1.2 unless you have been having problems with 1.1. We regret
having to release another version so quickly but the seriousness of a
few of the bugs required a quick reaction on our part. (details below)
The new version has been appended to this email and is also available
at: ftp://ftp.proteron.com/pub/
Please remember to remove the old version of GoMac when replacing it
with a new one. :) If you do not wish to receive announcements about
future GoMac updates, email us and we will take you off our list
immediately.
All the best,
Mathew Caughron Proteron, L.L.C. 9600 East 150 Highway Kansas City, MO
64149
Here are the details about what is new in version 1.2:
Adjustments in its terminology referring to the Keyboard Switcher due to a
possible trademark infringement. Fixed a bug which crashed with an
unimplemented trap error at startup on 68K machines running System 7.6.1.
=46ixed a bug in the handling of monitor rearrangment. GoMac should no
longer "carve out" large portions of your monitor with unused gray space.
Problems with games using 640x480 screens can now be solved by turning on
Auto hide. D=E9cor should now only register a change in the monitor size
when you turn Auto hide ON or OFF. An anomaly with the Finder where icons
would sometimes stay visible when "Hide programs after switch" was turned
on has been fixed. With Systems earlier than 7.5.3, the Shut Down feature
now works properly. Note that holding down "Command-Option" while choosing
"Shut Down=8A" will sleep the computer, holding down "Command-Control" will
restart, and holding down "Command" will Shut Down without a dialog. An
occasional problem with the coloring of GoMac should be fixed.
Known problems in version 1.2:
Conflict with the IMS TwinTurbo 128 graphics cards and GoMac 1.1. GoMac
1.2 does NOT fully address the problem, although turning on Auto hide may
help to prevent it.

Subject: [*] johns Calculator 1.2
john's calculator is an easy to use, powerful, scientific calculator.
Expressions are entered, edited, and evaluated in a large, scrollable,
scratchpad. This scratchpad fully supports standard text editor functions
such as cut, copy, and paste. Scratchpad expressions can be modified and
reevaluated. The size of the font used by the scratchpad can be set using
the Size menu.
All operations can be entered in the scratchpad by using the keyboard or
calculator buttons. Buttons normally add parentheses and commas to their
operations to show the number of arguments required by the operation.
Buttons also provide other editing shortcuts.
The calculator can be set to use radians or degrees. Results can be shown
using either decimal or scientific notation. Numbers can be entered into
the scratchpad using decimal or scientific notation. The type of decimal
and number of decimal places used to show results can be set using the
Decimal menu.
Multiple lines can be evaluated sequentially using the multiline evaluation
operator, allowing complex expressions to be broken into a sequence of
simpler expressions. Variables can be used to simplify expressions.
Variables can be used in multiline evaluations to store intermediate
results.
Scratchpad contents can be saved to a file for future use.
Changes in version 1.2.
Added the Size menu which is used to set the size of the font used by the
scratchpad.
The Decimal menu has be enhanced and the handling of decimal places
improved.
Thanks,

Subject: [*] Rofonts
Rofonts is a large set of Romanian fonts for the MacOS.
Romanian (a Romance language spoken in Eastern Europe) uses the Roman
alphabet with a few additional diacriticals not normally encountered in
standard fonts. Rofonts is a set of 13 fonts containing the full
complement of diacriticals used in Romanian.
Rofonts were made in 1990-91, i.e. before Apple produced a localised
Romanian version of the MacOS. Consequently they do not follow the MacOS
Romanian character encoding (see below for conversion).
Most fonts are in both PostScript Type 1 and TrueType format.
Additionally, the archive contains:
- a keyboard layout to be used (in conjunction with Rofonts) for typing
in Romanian on US (QWERTY) keyboards;
- conversion settings/filters for Add/Strip and PowerReplace (both
available on Info-Mac) to convert ASCII text between Rofonts encoding
and MacOS Romanian encoding.
These fonts are free for non-commercial uses; they should NOT be
included on CD-ROMs.

Subject: [*] Sleeper 2.1.1 - Sleep mode for all Macs
This is a resubmission of the English version of Sleeper, the popular
"Energy Saver for the rest of us." While the German and French versions
are already in the archives, the English version is missing for some
reason.
Sleeper is a shareware control panel for desktop Macintoshes and Power
Macintoshes that dims the screen, powers down Energy Star compliant
monitors, and spins down disk drives after periods of inactivity. This
saves energy and reduces noise levels in your work area without forcing
you to shut down your Mac.
Because Sleeper does not rely on Apple's Power Manager, Sleeper will
work on any Macintosh running System 7.0 or later, and does not suffer
from some of the quirky behavior reported with Apple's Energy Saver 2.0.
Sleeper is well suited for unattended operations as well as personal
desktop use. For file servers, ftp and http hosts, and fax and BBS
systems, Sleeper will wake the drives up when they are needed and put
them to sleep when they are idle. Sleeper is easily configurable; it
provides hotkey control for on-demand activation of its sleep features,
and separate delay settings for screen dimming, monitor power down, and
disk sleep.
Sleeper will work on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, including
System 7.6.1, and will spin down both IDE and SCSI hard drives. The
screen saver feature requires a color-capable Macintosh, and Energy Star
monitor support requires an Energy Star compliant Macintosh (any Mac on
which Apple's Energy Saver control panel works) and an Energy Star
capable monitor. Sleeper supports SCSI Manager 4.3 in native mode on
all machines and requires only 26K of memory when operating.

Subject: [*] SOI
Soi version 1.0
Soi is a memory/logic card game with very simple rules, but quite hard
to beat. The object of the game is to collect all four suits of whatever
kinds you have, by asking other players. If the player you ask has the
requested card, you get it. Otherwise, he continues doing the same. The
game goes on until all quadruplets have been collected, and you collect
points based on the face values of the kinds you collect. In the
beginning of the game the action is basically random, but as questions
begin to pop up, data pertaining to who has what cards starts being
collected by all players. By taking advantage of this data, you can
start collecting cards other people have. Because the computer
transcends human memory by far, it is very difficult to beat it. So give
it a shot, and be brave. And i you succeed in beating the game engine, i
would like to hear from you! Enjoy.
