EPS Mover can read any portable EPS file (encapsulated PostScript(R) file) and convert its preview into the proper format for the target platform you designate. Fo= r example, you may have a CD-ROM of EPS clip art that was created for use on PCs, but which you would like to use on a Macintosh. EPS Mover can quickly convert the PC EPS files into equivalent Macintosh EPS files. EPS Mover requires a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC processor running System 7.0 or later. Because EPS Mover contains only PowerPC native code, it will not run on older Macs using 68000 series processors. To install EPS Mover, simply double-click the EPS Mover Installer icon, and follow the on-screen instructions. Pricing and registration details can be found in the package. EPS Mover may be included on info-mac CD-ROMs. ------------------- Version 1.0.2 Changes =95 Fixed problem reading EPS files with no preview AND no Macintosh resourc= e fork.

EPS Factory can convert any Level 1 PostScript(R) file into a properly conforming EPS file, complete with optional preview and thumbnail. In addition, EPS Factory can add or replace previews and thumbnails in EPS files, correct inaccurate bounding boxes, and distill the PostScript code in ill- behaved EPS files. EPS Factory is quite handy in a number of situations. For example: * You have an EPS file, but it doesn't contain a preview image. Therefore, you cannot see the contents of the EPS file on screen when you place it into another document. No problem! EPS Factory will read your existing EPS file and create a new EPS file for you, complete with preview image and, if you like, a thumbnail too. * You have an EPS file which contains a preview image of poor quality. EPS Factory can read your existing EPS file and create a new EPS file for you, complete with a new preview image. Plus, you can adjust the preview's quality with control over color, dithering and antialiasing. * You have an EPS file with an inaccurate bounding box comment. This is one of the more common problems with EPS files. EPS Factory can read your existing EPS file and create a new EPS file with correct bounding box and hi-res bounding box information! * You have an EPS file that trips up some PostScript RIPs. This is another common problem with EPS files. When EPS Factory creates a new EPS file, it can optionally distill the PostScript code into a simpler form, less likely to cause problems on your RIP. * You have a PostScript file which you would like to use as an EPS file. That is, you would like to import it or place it into a document created by an application that understands EPS, but balks at raw PostScript. EPS Factory can create an EPS version of your PostScript file, again complete with preview image and thumbnail if you choose. System Requirements ------------------- EPS Factory requires a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC processor running System 7.0 or later. Because EPS Factory contains only PowerPC native code, it will not run on older Macs using 68000 series processors. To install EPS Factory, simply double-click the EPS Factory Installer icon, and follow the on-screen instructions. Pricing and registration details can be found in the package.

It does this by sorting the font names in an internal array, rather than insertion sorting them in the menu the way older versions of the MacOS did . It also caches the list. This has two benefits. The first is that it'll be MUCH faster for every font menu after the first, as long as your fonts haven't changed (applications that have fonts in their resource forks will clobber the caching, but they've been warned not to do that by Apple's Developer Support for more than seven years). The second benefit is that after the first time, the memory requirements of FFM are much smaller. If you were seeing problems in a control panel or desk accessory, you should no longer see them as long as you've run an application that builds a font menu first. This is the Japanese version of the FastFontMenu package.

This made it possible for anybody to make their own schemes and change their MacOS interface completely. But, unfortunately, not all scheme designers are careful enough to make sure their schemes are bug free. To help scheme authors create schemes that had less bugs and would run more smoothly, SchemeChecker was released. SchemeChecker runs several tests on your schemes, to make sure you haven't omitted any crucial resources, or added resources that aren't used at all. Starting with version 1.4, SchemeChecker is fully compatible with the new, complex scheme format in Kaleidoscope 2.x schemes. SchemeChecker also allows schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new Kaleidoscope 2.x resources, such as desktop patterns, window colors or cursors, as long as the resource IDs or functionality don't overlap. SchemeChecker enables you to check all the schemes in any folder (including subfolders), just one scheme or several schemes which can be selected from a list. The results can easily be exported to a TEXT file which you can open in any text editor. Recent changes to SchemeChecker ------------------------------- 1.4.5 - March 29, 1999 * Fixed a bug that could cause SchemeChecker to stop working after a couple of launches. 1.4 - 1.4.4: * SchemeChecker remembers the selected scheme folder between launches. * Support is added for the new resources introduced in Kaleidoscope 2.1.2 and MacOS 8.5. * SchemeChecker now does a better job at checking schemes configured to be used only with Kaleidoscope 2.0 or later. It also allows schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new Kaleidoscope 2.0 resources in areas where the resource IDs don't overlap. * Kaleidoscope now checks the "Minimum Kaleidoscope version" entry in the Colr ID 129 resource for errors. * You can now make SchemeChecker automatically fix any unset System Heap and Purgeable bits. * When you select a different scheme in the Result window, the dis- played information no longer reverts to the "further info" field. * misc. bug fixes and improvements For more information, visit SchemeChecker's info page on the web: [Archived as /info-mac/gui/ks/scheme-checker-145.hqx; 194K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Apr 1999 10:34:01 -0700 From: anoved@softhome.net Subject: [*] Scribbles Scribbles - A Drawing/Guessing Game This is a slick little game I wrote as a project in learning to program the Mac interface.

Anyway, you can control most of the parameters and you can also save/import images. Its best for younger kids, I guess. Scribbles requires a PPC (PowerPC) Macintosh and should be used with a monitor that can support at least 8-bit color.

'Verbs & Nouns' is an application for practising inflection, translation and pronunciation at the level of single words. Features include the opportunity to do various inflection exercises, and translation exercises in both directions; to record and play sound for single words; and to do exercises based on sound or pictures. The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as bilingual dictionaries. Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages.
