Enclosed are two Sherlock plug-ins for searching Amazon.com books and music. These were created because any of the existing Amazon plug-ins I've tried simply don't work correctly. Generic Amazon plug-ins only search for books, not music, so I created a separate music search. Shortly after creating this plug-in, another amazon music plug-in turned up at a popular web site. In testing, I found that the other book and music plug-ins did not return the full list of hits. In one instance, a music search only returned two items where my music plug-in returned over twenty! In addition, the other plug-ins included a separate search for classical music which didn't work at all because it was searching the books database. My single music plug-in correctly searches both the popular and classical music databases.

By using memory cache, as opposed to disk cache, cached pages are stored and retrieved at the speed of memory I/O rather than the speed of disk I/O. The performance improvement is quite dramatic. Since it is a MacPerl droplet, Netscape Cache Control 1.0.3 requires that MacPerl be installed on the user's computer. Since it doesn't do anything that hasn't been a part of MacPerl for a long time, any version of MacPerl 5 will suffice. The included Read Me file will tell you everything you need to know. Enjoy!

Simple find-replace will not work as many words should remain unchanged. This module partially solves this problem by using the conversion dictionary so only the appropriate words will be converted. Restoring diacritical marks is often ambiguous. Restore Diacritics will not address this problem. This means that restoring diacritics operation is not 100% error free but the converted text is better and easier to read than the original. Polish Diacritics conversion module should be useful for people who are learning Polish. Please visit my home-page for more information.

To simulate a trajectory, the user chooses the initial velocity (magnitude and direction), the vertical displacement component and the gravitational acceleration. The software then draws the parabolic trajectory and writes its main characteristics: range, maximum height reached, etc. During the simulation, it is possible to display three vectors: acceleration, velocity and position, and four graphs: acceleration, velocity, position and energy versus time. Many trajectories can be superposed in the same window. Trajectories, numerical data and graphs may be printed or copied to be used in other software. Trajectories may be also saved as PICT files. New in this version: YP Projectiles 1.1 features a new graph displaying mechanical energy, kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy versus time.
