Subject: [*] Color by Number 1.2
The phone call comes from Jake's wife, and she is spitting mad.
"He's done it again. I TOLD him I was in the middle of an experiment. I
TOLD him I'd come with him if he'd just hang on a couple of weeks. But does
he ever listen?"
Jake heard about another abandoned building designed by the architect of
The Tower, so of course he had to go check it out. And that's the last
anyone's heard of him.
"This house, unlike The Tower, was built for a cheapskate who cut corners
wherever he could, so don't expect to find any of those twelve-foot-thick
walls with hidden staircases. There's probably some treasure, though. There
always is."
Who could resist an invitation like that? Not Jake, obviously...
And not you.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Mac with 256 or more colors, 12" or larger monitor, 32-bit QuickDraw, 2 (or

Subject: [*] clip2icns 1.5.1: create & edit OS 8.5 32-bit icons
clip2icns is a little utility is designed to help you create 32 bit
icons (which are available under MacOS 8.5 and above). Since Apple has
chosen (for the time being) not to release an editor, I've created
clip2icns to fill that gap. It takes a picture from the clipboard,
splits it up into the icon and mask, and either inserts it into a
current file or makes a new icon.
New in this version:
1.5.1 February 27 1999
- clip2icns should work again under pre 8.5 systems
- an error message is now displayed if a file that's in use is opened
- icons with custom IDs should be displayed properly

Subject: [*] GIFCruncher Demo EA5
GIFCruncher Desktop Demo for Macintosh
Early Access Release EA5 - 02/23/1999
Welcome to GIFCruncher Desktop Demo for Macintosh. GIFCruncher Desktop is a
Web graphics utility developed by Spinwave.com that allows you to select a
GIF from your desktop or an HTTP or FTP URL, and automatically reduce the
download time and file size of the GIF by up to 90%. Auto mode generates
several optimized versions, and you decide on the best tradeoff between
file size and quality. GIFCruncher does this while you wait - single
optimizations generally only take a few seconds.
This demo allows full single-GIF crunching, but times out after 15 days
from the first use. It also has no batch capability. The full version of
GIFCruncher has a sophisticated batch feature that can process entire web
sites automatically. In order to get this capability, you will need to
purchase and download the full version of the product ($49.95). Please view
the file purchase.html for details on purchasing GIFCruncher Desktop, or
visit http://www.gifcruncher.com/desktop/ . You can also try out all of the
features of online GIFCruncher for two weeks by selecting Free Trial at
http://www.gifcruncher.com .
System Requirements: Macintosh Runtime for Java (MRJ) 2.1
Available for free download at http://www.apple.com/java/ .

MacCurveFit is a scientific least squares curve fitting program. Data sets

Excel or extracted from text files. Arbitrary equations may then be fitted
to the data and the fits displayed graphically. The equations can be defined
by typing them as text and so the program is very flexible. There is also a
