When installed, it runs in background (no dedicated computer required) and: * stores all messages sent and received; * enables network access for CommuniGate users, maintains their mailboxes, queues, etc.; * loads and runs CommuniGate modules (i.e. Fax Gate, UUCP Gate, SMTP Gate, etc.) and creates the runtime environment for those modules; * maintains system activity log; * implements routing algorithms; * maintains a resource database and provides access to that database for CommuniGate users and CommuniGate modules (fax cover pages, sounds, voice scripts, info tables, etc.). The CommuniGate services can be accessed with the CommuniGator client software. The client software allows you to compose and read messages, to manage your mailboxes, etc. It is also used by CommuniGate administrator to configure, maintain, monitor and control the CommuniGate server - locally or remotely. With the POP Gate and SMTP Gate modules installed, the CommuniGate Server can be used as a messaging server for clients running not only the CommuniGator application, but plain POP-based mailers (as Eudora and Emailer), on any platform. With the IMAP Gate installed, the CommuniGate Server can be used with any IMAP-based mail client, on any platform.

Just drop the files onto the application and it will determine the correct encoding scheme and decode accordingly. Requires: System 7, PowerPC or 68020 machine. The highlights... It can handle files of any size, yet still has low memory requirements. It is faster that other similar programs. File segments do not have to be concatenated prior to decoding. Handles "imperfect" files better than any other UU or Base 64 decoder. Handles multi-part files. Automatically sets file type and creator upon decoding. Can open decoded files automatically if desired. Handles files that have been concatenated by a newsreader. I am sure you will find the Decoder to be the easiest-to-use, fastest, most robust UU and Base64 decoder available. New for version 1.2 Some bug fixes, default file settings, easier file extension entry.

It combines a huge feature set with a really easy to use Mac-like interface. With DiskTracker, you can quickly and easily create a catalog of every file on every one of your floppy disks, hard drives, CD-ROMs, optical drives, servers, or whatever. Naturally, DiskTracker can read into StuffIt and Compact Pro archives and self-expanding applications. After scanning your disks, you can then search the catalog at unbelievable speeds with the powerful searching facility (including multi-parameter and duplicate file searching). You can easily create professional looking disk labels with the built in disk labeling facility and label template designer. Features include: View the contents of scanned volumes in a familiar easy-to-use System-7-style file list. Built in (fast!) virtual memory scheme ensures that you won't run out of memory, even when scanning huge volumes and CD-ROMs with only 600K of allocated RAM! Intelligent disk scanner can operate in the background and allows either scans of online volumes and servers or floppy disks (insert disks one at a time to scan them). Launch files directly from the program, or have the finder display them for you. Fast, multi-parameter (use AND, OR, or XOR) searches. Search on almost 20 different criteria! Really powerful disk labeling system allows completely automated disk label production. Draw your own label templates using the built in MacDraw(tm)-style template editor, featuring powerful file-lists and rotatable text. Fat binary runs in native mode on PowerMacs or on 680x0 based machines. Plus much, much, much more! DiskTracker requires System 7.0 or later and at least 700K of available memory.

It offers an attractive and useful middle ground between paper-based logs (in which you have to do all the tallying, etc. yourself) and spread-sheet models (which tend to be too rigid for free-form information entry). For each workout, there are fields for date, sport, workout-type, effort, distance, time, pace, course-name, details, comments, pulse, weight, weather, and equipment used (shoes, inline skates, bike equipment, etc.), including a separate provision for warmup equipment (and distance and time). The log will automatically calculate pace, and total distances, time spent, and number of workouts in a week or year-to-date. Shortcuts allow you to enter new workout info quickly for workouts you do often, and to navigate easily between different workouts and sections in the log. Workouts can be displayed in a convenient weekly overview format, or can be displayed in a tally, filtered on criteria you specify (including effort-level, sport, workout type, or equipment). Import and export facilities are provided to move data between logs and to and from data files that can be used in Excel, etc. Thus, if you already have an on-line exercise data base, you need not type all the data in anew. In addition, rather than relying on Hypercard's somewhat anemic charting capabilities, you can just export the relevant data and chart it any way you like in a spreadsheet program. The log requires Hypercard 2.0 or above, and will run best in 2.1 or above It uses the Courier, Geneva, Times and Palatino fonts, and has been tested on most common setups. It is shareware, which means that if you decide to use it (after evaluation), **** you are required to send me $8 ****. Address comments, criticisms, suggestions for improvement, etc. to: maurits@fas.harvard.edu, and send the shareware fee to: Maurits van der Veen Department of Government Harvard University, GSAS Cambridge, MA 02138.

If you design web pages with graphics and photos, you have undoubtedly had P= C users say that your photos are too dark... well, at least it has happened to= me quite a bit! :) I wrote GammaToggle to allow a Mac user to very easily toggle back and forth between the two standard gamma settings so that adjustments can be made. (P= Cs usually have uncorrected gamma, Macs default to corrected gamma, although wi= th newer system software you can change the gamma in the Monitors & Sounds cont= rol panel, or "options" in Monitors control panel. -- cumbersome!) How do I install it? Drag the GammaToggle FKEY file (disguised as a font suitcase) to the Fonts folder in the System Folder. That's it! If you want to change the FKEY from the default setting of "9", then you must use ResEdit to change it. (If there i= s demand, I'll write an app to change it.) How do I use it? Hold down shift-command and press 9. (If you have multiple monitors, move t= he mouse pointer to the desired monitor.) If nothing happens, or you hear a sy= stem beep, that means that the monitor doesn't support gamma setting. >System requirements: - System 7.5 or better.

Shouldn't we be exchanging electronic business "cards" rather than paper? Paper is bulky, hard to duplicate, easy to lose, and more expensive than bits. To solve this problem it's easy using a Macintosh computer, an Internet connection, Eudora and Linko. The idea of an electronic business card was born in order to satisfy two main requirements. The first one is to having a standard way to manage personal information, like names, addresses, phone, etc. We would like to send our personal information to people in a standard way when we communicate on the Internet. The second one is the possibility to extract personal information from sender's messages with little effort. Linko lets you manage your own business card and your business card archive. These are its main features: - lets you create and modify your business card. - lets you send Email throught Internet sending Apple Events to Eudora. - lets you archive as many cards as you want. - lets you manage business cards like any database. - lets you import and export to PIMs, like Now Contact. - lets you export formatted HTML pages. It requires: - MacOS 7.0 or newer. - 680x0 or PowerPC. - Color QuickDraw. - 800 KB memory free for Linko. Suggested: - Eudora Light or Pro - Apple Guide - 1500 KB memory free for Linko.

If you have ever looked with jealousy to those with Nintendo and Sega machines with their excellent combat-style games, then this is the game for you! Sprite Fight 2002 is the closest thing to a Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter for the Macintosh that you will find. All game characters are digitally photographed actors at 128x128 pixels! Graphics are full-screen! And unlike other popular games which hide their graphics and sounds by compiling or compressing them, Sprite Fight 2002 makes it easy for anybody with a Mac drawing program and a copy of Apple's ResEdit to make their own game characters, as the character files are comprised of totally editable sound and graphic resources! New to Sprite Fight 2002 is the availability of several fatalities and secret codes for extra features such as background animation, foreground animation, and special character abilities! It was programmed using extremely high speed sprite animation techniques (specifically, the SpriteWorld 1.0b4 Library by Tony Myles). It is accelerated to take advantage of Power Macintosh computers with the PowerPC processor, has multi-channel sound, built-in QuickTime video[1], as well as computer-synthesized speech[2]! [1] You will need QuickTime installed for this feature to work [2] You will need Speech Manager installed for this feature to work What is Included in this bundle In addition to the Sprite Fight 2002 application, some other files are included: - 6 Sprite Character files! - 7 Combat Zone files! - Special Tools for Creating Your Own Sprites! - The Instruction Manual System Requirements - Mac II or better, Accelerated for Power Macintosh - 13" Monitor or larger (640x480 pixel display or bigger) w/ 256 colors - System 7.0 or higher - Sound Manager 3.0 or higher - 6 MB free RAM to devote to game, virtual memory NOT recommended if you are low on RAM-this means your Mac needs to have AT LEAST 8 MB of RAM installed (SIMMs or DIMMs) - Approximately 14 MB free disk space for all game files Recommended System - Faster Mac = Better - 10+ MB RAM installed (not including virtual memory) - QuickTime 2.0 or later - Speech Manager [Archived as /info-mac/game/arc/sprite-fight-2002.hqx; 9190K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Feb 1997 21:36:02 -0700 From: wizbang@ccp.com Subject: [*] The_Oswiecim_Operation_Demo.sit In The Oswiecim Operation you travel covertly to a small concentration camp in southeast Poland where it has been learned that unspeakable horrors are being committed.

If you have played Adolf's Gymnasium or Sea Wolf, and seen with your own eyes how Hitler means to enlist the aid of the underworld, then you will be astounded at his progress.

This is an update to earlier versions. Registered users can upgrade for free. Perhaps Internet surfers more experienced than I can remember all of those weird addresses. I can't. I also got tired of keeping track of all the little scraps of paper where I had them written down. So, WWW Sites was born. WWW Sites is a small HyperCard stack which holds the World Wide Web addresses you want to keep. It allows for saving, sorting, printing and one click copying and pasting of the URL's (UnRememberable Locations). There is also room for notes. I keep it running in the corner of my screen so I can jump to it when I want one of the addresses stored there. It can also create an HTML file with all of your URL's ready for clicking.
