Subject: [*] Airport IDs 2.6a
Airport IDs is a little utility that allows one to search for
Airport/City locations by name or ID code. It returns all records that
match your criteria. This is a great tool for travelers who want to
create intineraries, check the code on their luggage, find out
distances, or find the place on a map. Registered users can
export/import the database to make modifications/corrections as they
desire.
Version 2.6 adds a few enhancements. Most important is an additional
database that contains over 8400 records of 3-letter identifiers, all
with latitude/longitude for mapping and distance calculations. No other
program gives you so many records and mapping capability.
Thank you to users who have previously registered Airport IDs; you do
not need to register this new version. The registration cost is only $7
(free for FedEx employees) so please register if you decide to keep this
program. Site licenses are available.

Subject: [*] Area Code Changer
Area Code Changer is an AppleScript applet that will change all phone numbers of
a given area code to a new one in the current Now Contact contact file.
Why would I want to do that? The best example of why this utility might be handy
is if you have a number of contacts in a particular area code that the phone
company has just changed. For example: my area code was 904 (northern Florida),
but got changed to area code 850. While Now Contact ought to offer a
facility to
do this search and replace, they don't. You might think the Replace function
under the Edit menu would do this (as did I). Not so - you must type in the
exact string in order for it to search and replace. So, if you just want to
change the area code (but not mess with the number itself), then you're out of
luck. Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean.

Subject: [*] Default Folder 2.7.3 - Enancement for Open/Save Dialogs
Default Folder is a shareware control panel that enhances Open and Save
dialog boxes to make it easier for you to manage files on your Macintosh.
It provides many of the essential features of the commercial SuperBoomerang
and Directory Assistance utilities, but without the infrequently used
extras that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage. And
it's now fully compatible with Mac OS 8!
Default Folder's time-saving Open and Save dialog enhancements allow you to:
- Set up a default folder for any or all applications.
- Switch among recently used folders from a pop-up menu.
- See available disk space and switch between disks from a pop-up menu.
- Click on a Finder window to display it in an Open or Save dialog.
- Open the folder shown in an Open or Save dialog in the Finder.
- Create folders, get information (including changing name, type, and
creator), and move items to the Trash from within file dialogs.
- "Rebound" back to the last file you used.
- Make "Replace" the default option instead of "Cancel" when saving
a file with the same name as an existing file.
- Speed up the display of Open and Save dialogs by turning off custom
color icons in the file list.
Default Folder will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher,
and is accelerated for PowerPC. In addition to the standard internet
archives, information and updates are available at:
<http://www.stclairsw.com/>
Default Folder may be included on the UMich and Info-Mac CD-ROMs.
Version 2.7.3 incorporates the following changes:
- On some machines, the "Click in Finder Window" feature would not
recognize windows in the Finder when running under Mac OS 8.
- You can now add more than one folder with the same name to the
locked folders list. Previously, you could add them to the list,
but they would not appear in the menu.

Subject: [*] Digital Diary 1.5.sit
Digital Diary v1.5
Activity and Decision Tracker for the Macintosh
System Requirements: System 6 and 7, Mac Plus or better (including PowerMac)=
,
1.6 megs free RAM, =B11 Meg disk space
While most personal information managers focus on scheduling and
contacts management, Digital Diary concentrates on keeping an organized
record of your work, allowing you quick and easy retrieval of a project's
history when most needed.
Digital Diary allows fingertip access to the current status of any
projects, allowing you to see all activities on all projects on any day you
choose. On a complex project, there could be a dozen or more separate
issues at the same time, each of which has its own distinct status and
decision process. Wouldn't it be great to be able to pull up the history
and present status of each of these at any time?
Digital Diary organizes note entries into project and day files so that
current reports of all activities on any given day or project can be
instantly viewed. Projects are organized under user-defined categories in a
hierarchical pop-up menu. Projects can be easily transferred between
categories, making it ideal for use as a convenient project status
indicator. Entries are identified with a header containing the type of
activity, project name, category, note number, and date and time of entry.
'To do list' entries will pop up to remind you of unattended items at a
chosen future date. Versatile report generation can gather, for example,
all notes of a given activity type or project status.
Digital Diary=81 replaces:
To do lists, diaries, reminder notes, day files, telephone notes
and all sorts of other memory joggers. And it's fun to use!

The attached file contains "La Confrerie", a French language scenario for
Sword Dream 3D.
Sword Dream 3D is a fantasy adventure gaming system. Old role playing games
had you play over a boring 2D map. In Sword Dream 3D, your surroundings are
in three-D (just like in Marathon=81, Doom=81 or Descent=81). Still, this=
isn't a
shoot-em-up videogame: it's a think-first, act-later game.
Sword Dream 3D is a full adventure gaming system, and is endless and
modular by design. Dream allows players to download new adventures and
continue their adventuring inside the new mileu.
=46ull details on Sword Dream 3D (along with the application itself - in
English, French or Italian) are available at http://www.comenius.com/dream/
English and Italian versions of this scenario, along with all other
available scenarios can be downloaded from

(1) Duplicate a font suitcase and remove all bitmap fonts from the copy.
(2) Open the font suitcase with ResEdit.
* Rename the 'FOND' and all 'sfnt' resources (menu "Resource :
Get Resource Info"). For example, change "Times" to "Times TR",
"Times Bold" to "Times TR Bold", etc.
* Open the 'FOND' resource (menu "Resource : Open Using Hex Editor").
Replace the first letter of the font name with an "X"
(menu "Find : Find ASCII..."). For example, change "Times" to "Ximes".
Thereby your modified fonts will not be substituted by resident
printer fonts.
* Open an 'sfnt' resource.
Change the hex string (menu "Find : Find Hex...")
"B9BABBBCBDBEBFC0C1" to "F0BABBF8F9FAD7FBFC".
Repeat for all 'sfnt' resources in this suitcase.
(3) You can find a keyboard layout and international resources in

Subject: [*] McPoet4.3
McPoet is a set of tools for text generation and text morphing: that is,
tools for writing computer-generated and computer-assisted poetry. It
uses its own simple language to allow the text-generation rules to be
completely user-configurable. It is easy to write your own rules for
McPoet even if you know nothing about programming your Mac. You can also
use the large set of built-in rules, or the (now much-improved) automatic
rule-generating function which can turn ordinary text into an executable
rule. The text morphing features include an automatic version of Tristan
Tzara's original Dadaist formula for creating poetry from text, an
eecummingsfication feature for imitating the style of the great poet ee
cummings, multiple forms of Markov chaining (with several built-in
probability tables) and much more. Rule files and the word-type files
that they reference are now stored externally, on disk. As a result,
there are no longer any strong constraints on the number of word types
you can use, or on the number of rules.
Version 4.3 fixes a few bugs found in version 4.2, and has a
jazzier interface. Versions numbered 4.x are much improved over versions
numbered 3.x or lower.
McPoet is Dada-ware: uncopyrighted and free. It may be freely
redistributed. It requires at least 4.5 megabytes of free disk space, at
least 3 megabytes of available RAM, and a fast processor (or great
patience!). Though a PowerPC is highly recommended, it is compatible with
all Macs.

Subject: [*] Music Collection Deluxe 2.1 (FileMaker Pro 3.x)
Finally it's here: a truly relational music-collection database.
Music Collection Deluxe 2.1 is an intuitive, robust database designed to help
you track your growing music collection.
Similar databases overlook your cassette and LP collection and the fact that
some titles include more than one compact disc -- these are some of the
unique features of Music Collection Deluxe 2.1.
Improvements from version 2.0 to 2.1
Added fields for song lyrics (after many requests), music author, lyrics
author, song producer, arrangements and copyright information.
Improved the exclusive artist "Sort Order" feature (see details below) to
provide feedback of how the artist/group will be sorted.
Miscellaneous interface improvements.
-----------------------------
Version 2.1 features:

Subject: [*] NetBackup 1.0
Requirements:
Macintosh or Power Macintosh
System 7.1 or greater
HyperCard or HCPlayer 2.2 or greater, 2.3.5 recommended
8mb RAM or more
Recent versions can be found at http://www.pe.net/~bsheafer/
Summary and Features:
NetBackup 1.0 was written as a complete data backup utility for the Macintosh
and small Macintosh networks. It is written in HyperTalk, the scripting
language of HyperCard.
#NetBackup 1.0 can copy individual files, and complete folders, very quickly
to almost any mounted volume* such as external tape/cartridge drives, external
hard drives, or any other designated networked volume.
#NetBackup 1.0 can automatically or manually mount** and unmount networked
volumes either on an AppleTalk or Ethernet network.
#NetBackup 1.0 can do scheduled** backups so backups can be performed when
computer usage is at its minimum. It can also be configured to quit when the
backup session is complete.
#NetBackup 1.0 keeps an ongoing extensive log file, both within the
application and in a text file located on the desktop.
* Floppies are slated for a future version if the need is there. This was
decided because the size of hard drives and applications these days doesn't
make this seem feasible. NetBackup 1.0 does check the volume and total sizes
of a session prior to the backup process. If NetBackup senses that the
files/folders to be backed up total greater than the backup volume, you will
be notified and the backup process will cease. We wil try in future versions
to make NetBackup learn to fill up consecutive volumes during a manual
session.

Subject: [*] NetRPG 3.0.1
NetRPG is an internet server which lets a group of friends role-play
over the net. NetRPG allows players to talk with one another using a
mud-like interface, ready weapons, set an armor class, have hit points,
store online character sheets, calculate and run combats using
initiative rolls, resolve attacks and distribute damage between players
and monsters, store and retrieve ASCII maps to facilitate showing
exactly where the action is occuring, roll dice either in the open or
privately shown to only the player and DM, and allows the DM to fudge
attack rolls when a plot line necessitates a critical hit or miss or
whatever. All of these features (and more!) combine in NetRPG to make
live internet role-playing not only possible, but very enjoyable!
Version 3.0.1 adds better support for channels and some tcp tweaks for speed

Subject: [*] QuickInstaller 1.1.0; The Installers Builder.
QuickInstaller 1.1.0 allows you to create straightforward an installer
for distributing any kind of file. You can build your own 68k, PPC or
FAT installer application in a very simple way, choosing many features
such as: compression, target system, computer restarting, destination
folder. The Built Installer can show your own logo in its main window as
well as a scrolling text in its splash screen. Also QuickInstaller 1.1.0
can build single self-extracting installers and installers having
external documents for distributing your creations by using the media
you want. QuickInstaller 1.1.0 is shareware, it costs less than a small
utility and anyone should afford it. QuickInstaller Maker requires at
least System 7 and a 68030 processor to run. The Built Installer
requires at least System 7 but runs on every processor type. Balloons
are available. The QuickInstaller package contains both 68k and PPC

Dream 3D. Sword Dream 3D is a three-dimensional adventure gaming system for
the Macintosh. Your surroundings are in three-D (just like in Marathon=81,
Doom=81 or Descent=81). Still, this isn't a shoot-em-up videogame: it's a
think-first, act-later game. And it's fun for days, not minutes...
Dream 3D is distributed under the shareware system: try it first, pay if
you like it.
Both Sword Dream 3D and ScenarioMaker will ultimately be made available in
English, French and Italian.
A read-me file in the package describes the 3D features for this program. A
full-length manual in Microsoft Word 5.1 format can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.comenius.com/pub/software/mac/dream/
The Sword Dream 3D WWW site can be reached at http://www.comenius.com/dream/
There you'll find full details on the game, and will be able to download a
copy.
Hardware requirements: a 68030 or better Mac OS computer, with a 14", 256
colors monitor, and System 7.
ScenarioMaker 3D is freeware and can be freely re-distributed. For more

Subject: [*] Sunset 1.0
Sunset is a free disk- and memory-friendly screensaver application. It
shows an ever changing Moire-like pattern, also known as Dyson's Folly,
on your screen. In addition, a checkbox allows for a nice kaleidoscopic
effect.
Sunset is not an Init nor an Extension, it is just a small application
that does not patch any system trap. Hence it does not interfere with
your system and can be quitted at any time.
Sunset is only 20k and takes about 70k of system memory depending on the
complexity of the pattern.
Sunset comes in three flavors: as an 68k application, as a PPC-only
application and as a Darkside of the Mac plug-in module (named
Polygons).
