Subject: [*] Asset Basset 2.0
Asset Basset tracks your assets. It will keep track of a wide range of
information about your investment world. For each investment, you can
see the tax-basis in your investment using either the average-cost or
first-in-first-out method, the capital gains you've taken, the potential
capital gain left in the investment, the distributions, out-of-pocket
investment, and, of course, the total profit to date. You can see the
performance of the underlying security, and of your management of that
security using measures of profit such as the internal rate of return
which weigh the time-value of money. You can generate annualized reports
like those required by the IRS for capital gains and distributions
reporting. Asset Basset also allows you to define portfolios composed of
your investments, and to track portfolio performance. The portfolios may
be defined by any combination of the following investment criteria:
location (foreign or domestic), style (value or growth), size
(large-cap, mid-cap, etc.), type (stock, bond, etc.), and risk-level, as
well as by your own keywords. Most notably, you can allocate percentage
amounts of a category within an investment. For example, if you own a
balanced fund that invests 40% in bonds and 60% in equity, you can
indicate that allocation in the account record. If you then choose to
track the performance of your bond investments, Asset Basset will know
to attribute only 40% of the value of the balanced fund to your bond
"portfolio." By enabling percentage allocations within an investment,
Asset Basset lets you monitor the allocation and performance of your
investments with a precision limited only by your knowledge of your own
investments.

Subject: [*] Copland 7 Color Scheme 1.7.1 - Freeware
Copland 7 is a color scheme for Kaleidoscope which makes the Mac resemble
System 7 in many ways, but it adds some Mac OS 8 enhancements. It uses
the Mac OS 8 windows, with System 7 colors. It adds the functionality of
the Windowshade widget. It adds accent colors, which change the menu
highlight colors, scroll thumbs and progress bar colors (use the "Silver"
accent color for true System 7 compatibility). I use a Mac OS 8 style
scroll bar track, because I can't stand the checkered System 7 style.
This scheme includes replacement Finder icons, which are a Mac OS 8-ized
version of the standard System 7 style folders.

Subject: [*] French version of YP Slider Crank 1.0.3
Mise a Jour: Juillet 1997
Auteur: Yves Pelletier
Email: pelletier@kagi.com ou ch865@freenet.carleton.ca
WWW: http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~ch865/
Prix (Shareware): $15 US
Mots-Clefs: Enseignement de la physique, sciences, cinematique, rotation,
mecanisme, genie mecanique, simulation, vecteurs, graphiques.
Description du logiciel:
YP Bielle-Manivelle simule le mouvement d'un piston actionne par une
bielle-manivelle. La manivelle est en mouvement de rotation uniforme
(vitesse angulaire constante), ce qui entraine un mouvement de va et vient
assez complexe pour le piston. La longueur relative de la bielle et de la
manivelle peuvent etre modifiees par l'utilisateur. Pendant l'animation,
il est possible de voir les graphiques de la position du piston en fonction
du temps, de sa vitesse en fonction du temps, et de son acceleration en
fonction du temps. Les vecteurs representant l'acceleration instantanee,
la vitesse instantanee et la position peuvent egalement etre traces
directement sur l'animation.
Appareillage requis: YP Bielle-Manivelle fonctionne sur n'importe quel
ordinateur Macintosh fonctionnant sous Mac OS 7.0 ou mieux. Il necessite
environ 250 Ko sur le disque rigide et exige 500 Ko de memoire vive. Le
logiciel est compatible avec les anciens modeles munis d'un microprocesseur
68000 (Mac Plus, Mac Classic), mais les simulations sont plus lentes.

Subject: [*] KoCal (last email had VoCal)
KoCal is a Macintosh shareware application providing an easy to use
calculator with a friendly koala called KoCal on it who can talk to you
(if you turn his speech on) and even listen to you (with the best
"hearing" if you're from North America!). There is also a color swatcher
which allows you to click on a color on your screen to see what it's
made of (eg. for Web page matching use the html format!). One really
cool feature is the ability to create a series of sequential
calculations in the log and then "play" them back in the form of a test.
Friendly comments are made about accuracy & a score is given as
feedback. We've found our children learned various times tables really
rapidly when using this, since they refused to get even 1 answer wrong.
It supports drag & drop and many recent Apple Macintosh features. There
are some simple times tables sample files and a full on-line help
available under the Apple & Help menus. If you register & pay the US$30
shareware fee then there won't be any time limit & you'll not see an
annoying message when you start up & flashing red icon during use. The
author is easily contactable and keen to update & improve KoCal! Check
it out! It is compatible with system 7 and above, and works on all Macs
above the Mac+ and SE, including the AV & Power Macs. It has a companion
more advanced calculator which is a natural progression from KoCal,
called VoCal which might also want to look for. Hope you enjoy it!

Subject: [*] MediaPresenter 1.41a
Welcome to the Trial Version of MediaPresenter 1.41a!
NOTES REGARDING THIS TRIAL SOFTWARE
This trial software lets you experience firsthand the key features of
MediaPresenter 1.4. This trial software will expire 30 days after
installation. Contact SUDA (suda@interchange.ubc.ca) to purchase the full
product after that time.
ABOUT MEDIAPRESENTER
MediaPresenter is designed to make the presentation of graphic images,
QuickTime=81 movies, and short text messages quick and easy. During a
presentation visual annotation tools and image navigation tools are
available.
Media files used in a presentation are only stored as references to the
actual files on your hard drive or CD-ROM. When an image is displayed it is
automatically retrieved from disk. This makes MediaPresenter particularly
suitable for re-purposing Multimedia or World Wide Web content, and for
presenting a subset of a large image collection.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
MediaPresenter requires a Macintosh with a 68030 processor or greater,
including PowerPC, and requires System Software version 7.0 or later.
MediaPresenter requires 6 megabytes of free memory. Depending on the media
to be displayed with MediaPresenter, however, you may need to allocate more
memory to MediaPresenter using the Get Info dialog box in the finder.
At least 2 MB of free hard disk space should be available.
QuickTime 2.5 system software extension is recommended. QuickTime 2.0+
system software extension required.

Subject: [*] OneStep 1.1
Objective Software, Inc. announces the new release of OneStep 1.1.
OneStep is an extension that transforms your Mac's user interface. Features
include custom windows, menus, pop-ups, scroll bars, buttons, folder and
trash icons, and more.
OneStep comes with a number of ready to use interfaces, such as "True NeXT"
(a genuine NeXT-like interface), "Jump to Eight" (guess what it is?), Back
To Seven, Grand Prix, etc.
Just try them out! Each interface is contained in an Appearance file.
Advanced users will be able to design and distribute their own customized
Appearance files.
OneStep requires a Macintosh or MacOS-compatible computer running System
7.0 or later.
OneStep was written by Harry Alloul, Bernard Frangoulis and Alessandro Levi
Montalcini. It is distributed as shareware. The registration fee is $15;
registrations are handled by the Kagi Shareware service.
A screen shot is available on our WEB site at
<http://www.netinfo.fr/objectivesw/>
What's new in version 1.1?
- The "OneStep Inspector" application, which makes it easy to preview,
select and install Appearance files,
- Even more customization settings, which are now integrated into the
Appearance file itself (instead of a separate Preferences file),
- A brand new set of sample Appearances,
- Several bug fixes, particularly of a nasty bug that would prevent the
correct installation of OneStep in certain configurations,
- For users who just can't stand our custom startup splash screen: simply
uncheck the "Show splash screen" checkbox in the Inspector,
- Mac OS 8 compliance; however, the Finder itself doesn't use our windows
and icons yet - but all other applications do, and there are no known
problems so far. Expect full MacOS 8 functionality soon.
Please let us know when it becomes available on your site. Thanks.

Subject: [*] OT/PPP Toggle 2.2
OT/PPP Toggle 2.2
OT/PPP Toggle 2.2 toggles the state of the PPP connection using Open
Transport PPP. If it's closed, it opens it using the currently active
configuration as set in the PPP control panel. If it's already open, it
closes it. Using the Auto-Open feature, it can also open any application
or file you want once the connection is made (up to two of them). Just
click on it in a launcher or select it from the Apple menu and it opens
or closes the connection. It uses less than 10kb on disk and 200K of RAM
(and only when actually opening or closing a connection).
System Requirements:
OT/PPP Toggle requires any Macintosh computer with the following minimum
software:
System 7.5.3 or later
AppleScript 1.1 or later
Open Transport 1.1.1 or later
Open Transport PPP 1.0 *
* Open Transport PPP (OT/PPP) also installs the "PPP Commands" addition
to AppleScript, which is required for this application to function.
Changes in this version:
2.2 - Fixes for a redialing bug, Setup changes, final release(?). Final
changes regarding MacOS 8 and the "error of type 1010".

Subject: [*] Path/URL CMM Plugin
A CMM plugin that will generate the full path names OR the "local URL"
of all the selected items, placing the results on the clipboard.
Requirements: Mac OS 8.0, the Contextual Menu Manager extension, and the
SOMobjects=81 for Mac OS shared library. Sorry, but Path/URL is a
PowerPC-only utility.
Installation: Drag the Path/URL CMM plugin onto your closed System
folder, and let the Mac OS put it into the proper location. Reboot.
You're ready!
Background: I really like the idea of the CMM facility, and have started
migrating away from launchers and other icon docks, instead using the
various CMM features in the Finder.
But what I didn't have was a quick and easy way to grab the full file
path of something on disk. Sure, I've got a few of the drag and drop
utilities to do that, but I wanted a CMM mechanism. So here it is.
Disclaimer: It works here at home on my PowerMac 7500/100 (604/150), as
well as on my PowerMac 8100/80 at work. I'm going to leave the "1.0b1"
designation on it for a bit since I'm open to suggestions.
If you decide to keep this utility, please send $1.00 to the address
found at the bottom of this document. Come on, just a dollar! I've gotta
put gas in my motorcycle ;^)

A slider crank mechanism simulator.
Updated: July 1997
Author: Yves Pelletier
Email: pelletier@kagi.com or ch865@freenet.carleton.ca
WWW: http://www.kagi.com/pelletier
Price (Shareware): $15 US
Keywords: Physics teaching, sciences, kinematics, rotation, mechanism
mechanical engineering, simulation, animation, vectors, graphs.
Program description:
YP Slider Crank simulates the motion of a piston activated by a slider
crank mechanism. The crank is in uniform rotational motion (constant
angular velocity), causing the piston to move with a variable acceleration.
Relative lengths of the crank arm and the connecting rod may be changed
easily. During the simulation, it is possible to display the following
vectors: acceleration, velocity and position, and the following graphs:
acceleration, velocity and position versus time.
Required Hardware and Software: YP Slider Crank runs on any Macintosh
computer with MAC OS 7.0 or later. It needs about 250 Kb on your hard disk
and 500 Kb of RAM. The software runs on older models with 68000 processors
(Mac Plus, Mac Classic), but simulations are slower.

may use it at no cost. Information regarding licensing the conversion
and playback routines can be found in the internal "About SoundApp..."
documentation.
SoundApp has been mailed to the popular "macgifts" list, and should
appear on Info-Mac and the University of Michigan's archive sites in a
few days. In addition, you can download it directly via the WWW from:

o 24- and 32-bit PCM-encoded Sun Audio, NeXT and AIFF files,
o 32- and 64-bit floating point-encoded Sun Audio and NeXT files,
o 32-bit PCM-encoded WAVE files, and
o 32-bit floating point-encoded IRCAM files.
* Added support for conversion to:
o MACE-3 and MACE-6 encodings in AIFF, System 7 sound files and
QuickTime files,
o PSION sound files, and
o a-law in WAVE and AU files.
* Incorporated the new Amp MPEG Layer III playback code for increased
performance and support for MPEG-2 Layer III files,
* QuickTime files with multiple sound tracks are now converted properly,
* Enhanced SoundApp's AppleScript support:
o Added a current file AppleScript property to the application,
o Added a fetch information verb to return information about a sound file
on disk and renamed the get information verb to display information for
clarity,
o Added a send oms data AppleEvent to send MIDI data to an OMS synthesizer,

Subject: [*] Teflon 2.0 -- adjusts or eliminates MacOS 8's sticky menus
MacOS 8 introduced a new featured 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. If you think this is a crummy bit of interface
design, and wish Apple had allowed the user to adjust the "stickiness" of
the menus, you're not alone. Teflon is a simple little control panel that
does just that.
* Hate sticky menus? Teflon lets you disable them completely, so that
menus behave the way they did under System 7 and earlier.
* Prefer Windows-style "menus stick forever" behavior? Teflon will do
that, too. Menus will stick no matter how long you hold down the mouse
button.
* If you like the MacOS 8 method, but find that menus stick when you didn't
want them to (or vice versa), Teflon will let you adjust the stickiness
threshold to your liking.
Teflon requires MacOS 8 or better to operate -- it will load without
problems under System 7.x but it won't do anything useful.
