This is an alternate opening HTML page for the BMW CyberDrive promotion made primarily for Mac MS Internet Explorer users who are unable to access the CyberDrive CD-ROM while online. It contains links to all the viewable QuickTime and QuickTimeVR movies hidden on the CyberDrive CD-ROM so you can access them at full speed whether online or offline. It opens the CyberDrive web site in a separate browser window so that the movies can be "sort of" integrated into the total presentation. (I left off a few movies that were not browser viewable, but have included a text listing of the CD's catalog if you want to try to extract them.) I slapped this page together without the knowledge or consent of BMW or anyone else. It's OK with me to include it in the Info-Mac CD, but be aware that the CyberDrive promotion ends in July 1997.

There are many utilities out there that save all key strokes to a file. The purpose of these programs (usually) is to save anything you have been typing in case of a system crash. The downside is, malicious users install them on other peoples machines (public labs, etc.) and gather information like passwords to network services. This is a MAJOR security issue. Cone of Silence can be used to ease some of the fears associated with using public access machines. While I can not claim that this program guarantees security in all cases, it does do a good job with every method of key capturing I have found. I carry Cone of Silence around myself, whenever I must use a potentially insecure machine. This is a public beta release - I have done extensive testing on my system - but not on too many other different systems. Requirements A MacOS compatible computer System 7 or greater ADB Keyboard (Apple or equivalent) - If there is enough interest I may do a version for older non-ADB keyboards (Mac Plus etc.) Shareware: $10 - Site License $200 ($100 for educational institutions) Cone of Silence may be distributed on shareware collections.

Up to now, Apple's Speech Recognition technology has been used just to make commands. While this has been useful, it does very little to help users to get data into their computer. Speech Typer has been written to solve that problem by typing any predefined phrase into any application you may be using. While Speech Typer does not make your Mac a full fledged dictation machine, it does allow you to "type" commonly used words and phrases just by saying them. Requirements Speech Typer is a Power PC only application and requires the Speech Recognition Manager extension v1.5 or later. You may download the current version of the Speech Recognition Manager from Apple's web page at http://speech.apple.com/ptk/. *** NOTE *** NOTE **** Speech Typer now has a new web page ascociated with it: http://www.kamprath.net/claireware/speech_typer.html [Archived as /info-mac/app/speech-typer-103.hqx; 408K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 18:24:38 -0700 From: awong@iper.net Subject: [*] SteelChill1.5.2 - Kaleidoscope Scheme SteelChill 1.5.2 - For Kaleidoscope 1.5.x and above [Archived as /info-mac/gui/ks/steel-chill.hqx; 30K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 18:24:19 -0700 From: djp@elite.pp.fi Subject: [*] StoreBuilder Lite StoreBuilder Lite is an application that simplifies the construction of a store on the First Virtual InfoHaus, a server that you can use to make shareware programs available for downloading, and to collect shareware payments using the First Virtual Internet Payment System.

The Contextual Menu Manger is a new feature of MacOS 8. To use these plug-ins you need to be running MacOS 8 on a PowerPC machine. When you control-click on objects in the Finder, plug-ins can add their own commands to the contextual menu, and then carry out commands on those files. Here are the plug-ins in this version: - Hide / Undo Hide - Hides the selected files. The previous Hide can be undone. - Lift and Set File Info - Lets you set files' creators and/or types to the those of other files. - Lock / Unlock - Locks or unlocks the selected files. - Remove Custom Icon - Removes custom icons from the selected files. - Set File Info - Sets the selected files' creator and/or type from a preset list of choices (which you can easily configure with ResEdit). - Simple Strip HTML - Removes all HTML tags from the selected HTML text files. - Text to Mac - Converts the selected text files' line endings to Mac format. - Text to DOS - Converts the selected text files' line endings to DOS format. - Text to Unix - Converts the selected text files' line endings to Unix format. - Touch - Sets the selected files' modification date to "now".

It is fully compatible with 680x0 and PowerPC Macs and with Metrowerks CodeWarrior and Symantec C compilers. It's free and may not be sold without permission. It should be useful to anyone who wants to present accurately specified visual stimuli or use the Mac for psychometric experiments. The text file "Video synch" discusses all the ways of synchronizing programs to video displays and the many pitfalls to avoid. The TimeVideo application checks out the timing of all video devices in anticipation of their use in critical real-time applications, e.g. movies or lookup table animation. "Video bugs" reports all known bugs uncovered by TimeVideo's testing of 56 video cards and drivers. Low-level routines control video timing and lookup tables, display real-time movies, and implement the luminance-control algorithms suggested by Pelli and Zhang (1991). In particular, CopyWindows (or CopyBitsQuickly) faithfully copies between on-screen and off-screen windows (or bit/pixmaps), WindowToEPS saves an image to disk as encapsulated PostScript, for later printing or incorporation into a document, and SetEntriesQuickly and GDSetEntries load the screen's color lookup table, all without any of QuickDraw's color translations. NoisePdfFill.c quickly generates visual noise images whose pixels are samples from a specified probability density function. High-level routines help analyze psychophysical experiments (e.g. maximum-likelihood fitting and graphing of psychometric data). Assign.c is a runtime C interpreter for C assignment statements, which is useful for controlling experiments and sharing calibration data. This collection has been continually updated since 1991. More that one hundred colleagues subscribe to the email distribution (see below), and have indicated that they are using the software in their labs. Documentation is in the source files themselves. Many of the routines are Mac-specific, but some very useful routines, e.g. the luminance-control, statistics, maximum-likelihood fitting algorithms, and the runtime interpreter are written in Standard C and will work on any computer.

Because of the way new system software allocates system memory, the application erroneously believes there will not be enough system memory for it to function properly. This patch cancels that check. There should be no adverse effects from applying this patch. The patched file version will be changed to 5.1A (uppercase 'a') as a visual clue for future reference. This patcher application will not make a copy of the Microsoft Word file that it patches, so you should already have made any necessary copies. Disclaimer: This patch is not official nor in any way sanctioned by Microsoft Corporation. Responsibility for results of using this patch rests solely with the person applying the patch.
