It doesn't guarantee a visually pleasing color scheme, but it does present you with hundreds of options for non-dithering color combinations. How you use them is up to you. ColorBox uses a portion of the palette of 216 browser-safe colors to make a traditional color wheel. These colors were selected as being close to the proper color you would find in a color wheel with an unlimited palette to choose from. ColorBox uses this color wheel to calculate different color schemes based on your choices. In brief, ColorBox will dynamically generate the following basic color schemes: *monochromatic *complementary *analogous *split complementary *clash *neutral Additionally, you can display a color scheme as primary, secondary, or tertiary triad, depending on the base color selected. ColorBox is freeware. It may be freely distributed, but not sold. ColorBox may be included on the CD.

This small daemon plays sounds, and will launch applications (including AppleScript applets) on any schedule you set. Possible uses include screaming clocks, counted quarter-hour chimes (e.g., three backward bongs at :15 after, one backward bong at :45 after), nagging yourself (via AppleScripts), launching Netscape at 3 A.M. to drive your cat nuts, whining soulfully when someone else is using your computer, turning your house lights on or off (requires wiring and additional stuff not provided), doing things at startup or shutdown, listening to your ex's dead dog bark every now and then, and so forth. Hey, it's daemonic! Use your imagination! Those who already know what this is about will see other possibilities, of course. One I find useful is the ability to launch apps in a particular order at startup. The only thing in my Startup Items folder is DaemonCron Lite. DaemonCron is freeware for private use. Corporate, educational or government users should buy the one-time, flat-rate, world-wide license for US$15. Requires System 7.5.5 or better. Requires ResEdit or Resorcerer for configuration, and you should be comfortable with no-holds-barred system spelling bees when you configure launchfile names. ;-) David C.

Guitar Tuner uses a visual metaphor which mimics an handheld electronic tuner, and plays the 6 notes of the guitar at standard tuning. The notes were recorded into a PowerMac from a Martin acoustic tuned A=3D440 with a quartz tuner. Because the notes are guitar pitches, rather than digitally generated pitches, they may be easier to use since they share a common tonality and timbre. Instructions: Click on the radio note below the note you wish to hear. Ain't that easy? Enjoy! It's Freeware. This may be distributed on CDROM.

It is designed to allow quick and easy access to applications, Control Panels, Desk Accessories, Folders and other documents stored on your Macintosh, without having to navigate through several "Finder Windows" or through a multi-layered, hierarchical Apple menu. It works by clicking on icons installed in a floating window, or dropping documents onto them. This approach is much handier than aliases that are on the desktop because the floating windows that contain the icons can never be covered by windows. HandyMan also requires a lot less desktop space than the same number of icons on the desktop. For more information, please read the Read Me file enclosed, or visit the Web page: http://www.club.innet.be/~ind0836/mac/HandyMan.html changes for 2.0.2: * Small German localization fixes * Norwegian localization fixed up by Fredrik Chr. Bolin * Menu Items referring to a file now get the color of the Finder label of that file. (Code example Ammon Skidmore) * OK (and Cancel) would be disabled when, on 7.6 with Extensions Strip, a notification pops up during a HandyMan alert (system blocks). * Fixed small visual problem where failed drop didn't track back to the original place. (Report from Ammon Skidmore) * Sometimes when the module moved, due to the change in size of another module, wrong info could be displayed. * Made HandyMan much more stable in some less common situations (hey, it was stable wasn't it?) * Fixed crash when quiting an application with the command-q shortcut and when popinfo balloon was visible. * Locking Triangle Pict Before Drawing * Menu's are now at ID 256 and 257, where all modules have their menu's. This should fix incompatibilities with some applications (e.g. Freeway). (report from Vanessa Gregory) * Fixed crash when selecting 'Delete Icon' from contextual Menu.

Kineticon is a system extension which replaces normal, static icons on your Macintosh's desktop and in its windows with chosen animated icons. Kineticon is fully configurable, allowing you to choose which icons should animate simply by enabling them within Kineticon's editor. Kineticon Editor (included in the Kineticon package) allows you to create custom animations which can be made to appear in place of any icon displayed by your Macintosh. With Kineticon you will have THE COOLEST hard drive icon on your block! With Kineticon you will have THE CUTEST trash can icon in your neighborhood! And remember, if you don't like the included animations, you can easily make your own! Some of the changes in version 1.1.3 from version 1.0.2: * Added drag and drop support to Kineticon Editor. * Fixed a crashing bug which could occur when an "incompatible" screen was connected. * Fixed a crashing bug which could occur on 68030 Macs. * Fixed a bug which could keep animation from occuring at all on some systems. System requirements: * Any Macintosh with at least a 68020 processor (both 68K and PowerPC Macs are supported). * System 7.1 or higher (may work on earlier systems above 7.0 - only tested with systems 7.5 through 8.1). * Color (doesn't work in grayscale or black and white, sorry). * Free RAM: at least 300K. More RAM is needed depending on how many animating icons are enabled. * 2 MB of hard drive space (for the extension, editor and animating icon files). * Faster Macs (such as PowerMacs) are recommended. Cost: * All this for only $10 US!

This application is intended to help internet based servers using Open Transport and OT/PPP to stay connected to the internet. The Bot will watch the state of your PPP connection, and if it finds that the connection is idle, it will quit the server, reconnect PPP, and reboot the server. This application is intended to replace my other server based Bot applications(WebStarBot, HotlineServerBot) with one that will work with any kind of server application. This Bot is a simple script application which stays open in the background. It does this without a real interface of any kind. While the Bot is running, if your PPP connection is idle (or dropped), it will attempt to log on to your ISP. If you are connected, it will wait patiently for 15, 30, or 60 seconds before checking again. It is designed to act without any dialogs that require the user to be present, so if you want to maintain an active PPP connection while you are away, or asleep, or whatever... This release is a simple bug fix. I have, hopefully, eliminated the need to double tell the Bot where the server application is. Once should be enough. Second, I have found the "can't set item name" problem and eliminated that. I also changed the dialog text very slightly in two of the dialogs. These were all minor problems, but they annoyed me greatly. System requirements: 1. AppleScript must be installed on your system. This is a standard part of the MacOS these days, so it should be installed if you are running any version of System 7.5 or higher including OS8. I will try to keep it working for as long as Apple supports OT/PPP and AppleScript. The standard install of AppleScript includes a set of osaxen (scripting additions). I rely on the standard osaxen, and they must be installed on your system. 2. You must be running OT/PPP, not FreePPP. In addition, you must have the PPP Commands Osax installed in your scripting additions folder. If you did a standard install of OT/PPP, then this scripting addition is already installed for you. 3.

This reduces power consumption and quiets a Mac when it is not in use. Sleeper can also password-protect the screen and shut down a Mac if it has been idle for too long. Separate sleep times can be set for all features, and a hotkey can be used to put the Macintosh to sleep on demand. Unlike Apple's Energy Saver control panel, Sleeper does not require that a Macintosh have built-in power management capabilities, so Sleeper will support any model from the MacPlus to the latest PowerMacs. By not relying on Apple's Power Manager, Sleeper can also provide more options and more precise control, and does not suffer from the unreliability some users experience with Apple's Energy Saver control panel. Sleeper requires only 50K of RAM to provide all its capabilities. These features include: - Hard disk sleep - Energy Star monitor support - Password screen locking - A very frugal screen saver - Timed shutdown - Configurable hotkey options - Support for the Sleep command in the Finder's Special menu - Kaleidoscope and Mac OS 8.1 compatibility - PowerMac-native support for both IDE and SCSI disks - Support for multiple SCSI buses - Full SCSI Manager 4.3 compliance - Balloon help Sleeper will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, including Mac OS 8.1, and is accelerated for PowerPC.

Pfeiffer at Scooter Graphics. Price: Free! Virtue is my improvement of Apple Computer's "Charcoal" font appearing in Mac OS 8. About Virtue: There is a lot of controversy about Charcoal, and honestly, I think that most of it is unjustified. Basically, a lot of people did not want this font to appear in the Mac OS 8. I think that this feeling is based on a "reverse-engineered" font developed by Greg Landweber for his Aaron extension and Kaleidoscope control panel. Greg built his font from looking at various screenshots and did a good job at making a very complete font. However, the spacing information and special characters characters seemed a little off to me. It seems that Apple couldn't decide whether Charcoal should have two pixels between the letters or just one. This leads to a cramped appearance on screen. So here's what I did: basically, I took his work and tried to space it how I would if I was making Apple's next font. I studied the "Chicago" system font and and used it as a template for my font. After about 2 hours of tinkering, I had a bitmap font that looked really good as a replacement font for Kaleidoscope. About a week later, after tinkering some more, I made even more improvements. And then I decided to create a regular weight of Virtue to go along with it. I tried to carry the unique features of Virtue into Virtue Light. It's currently just a 12 point bitmap font, but I thought that it might be useful for those of us who have smaller screens or are just tired of looking at bold fonts all day. I'd love to hear any comments you may have about Virtue-Light.
