Subject: [*] 3D_Desktop_patterns
3D_Desktop_patterns
These are some desktop patterns I've done for friends and my own
personal pleasure over the last few years. They are made to be displayed
at thousands or millions of colors.
They are not editable by any file editing app, (Resedit or Resorcerer=99),
but you can import them to the Desktop Pictures control panel for your
own use.
You'll need a ppat tool to apply/import these, Pattern Manager seems to
work well, once in there you can drag the ppat directly into the
Desktop Pictures window or apply directly with the ppat tool of your
choice.

Subject: [*] ClippingNamer 1.0.3
Finder clippings are a wonderful idea that most people don't use because
they're such a pain to deal with. Ever tried to find the right clipping
among a bunch of "Text Clipping 1", "Text Clipping 2", etc? It's not too
bad with one clipping, but more than a couple leads to long sessions in
the Finder assigning useful names, wasting the time you saved.
ClippingNamer helps you manage clippings. Without leaving your current
program, you can:
* Automatically assign a new name based on the (text) clipping contents.
* Automatically create a thumbnail image (icon) for picture clippings.
* Popup a dialog that lets you see both ClippingNamer's and the Finder's
suggested names, and use either one or a new name you type.
You can set any of these modes (or none) as the default, and invoke any
of the others with modifier keys (completely customizable). There are
several other convenience options as well.
UPDATE: Version 1.0.2 fixes a small bug that could cause the dialog to
appear when dragging data within the same program (not to the Finder).
Also, invented file names that contain return characters are now handled
correctly, dragging stuff to the Trash works, and various cosmetic
improvements to the dialogs are in place.
ClippingNamer is $10 shareware. See
for this and other shareware
products. Contact the author at

Subject: [*] Extension Overload v2.7
Extension Overload v2.7, The simplest way to keep your Mac healthy
What is Extension Overload ?
Extension Overload is a "self-reading" document with lots of information
about all the system extensions and control panels that are littering the
System folder of every Macintosh. Extension Overload conviniently lists
them by name and explains their purpose. That way you (the user) can decide
whether to keep a certain control panel or extension or not. Additionally,
Extension Overload contains information about Mac error codes, Easter Eggs
(little gimmicks hidden somewhere in the software) and other useful things.
Currently Extension Overload reviews 590 extensions and 223 control panels
- of course this does not mean that all of them are in the system folder of
your Macintosh=8A ;-)
Why use Extension Overload ?
Control panels and extensions serve one purpose: They "extend" the
operation system of your Macintosh and provide additional functions to the
user and to programs running on your machine. For example, the QuickTime=81
extension allows the Simple Text application to play movies, something that
would be impossible otherwise. However, often some control panels and
extensions get installed which are not necessary for a certain Mac model or
application. (Obviously, if you don't have a network, you don't need
network software.) On the downside, control panels and extensions eat up
space on the harddisk and in memory. Even worse, some extensions and
control panels sometimes conflict with each other, causing your Mac to
crash. In these situation Extension Overload helps you to find out, which
items in yor system folder you actually need and which ones you can safely
remove to keep your system small and efficient. But even if you are just
curious what all the items in the system folder do, Extension Overload is
for you.
Therefore, Extension Overload is useful if:
- you are trying to solve an extension conflict.
- you want to make your system use as less RAM as possible.
- you want to save disk space by deleting unnessecary files.
- you want to know what all the items do.
- you are an experienced user who just needs a handy reference.

http://www.mir.com.my/~cmteng
New features in Version 2.7 (released in 10 June 1998):
- 76 extensions added. (Total of 666 extensions).
- 22 control panels added. (Total of 245 control panels)
- Section "Where to Find Apple Software Updates" added.
- Section "Macintosh System Error Codes" added.
- More "Ways to Speed up your Macintosh" added. (Total of 44 ways).
- Many details have been updated.

Subject: [*] FontLister v1.0.4
You can use FontLister to create a SimpleText file which lists all of the
Fonts currently installed in your system. Each font in the list will be
displayed in its 'own' font. If you wish, you can then print out the list
(using SimpleText) and use it as a referance. I find this quite useful
since I've got well over 300 fonts install and it's pure hell trying to
find just the right font sometimes.
FontLister is Freeware. This is definately a 'quick hack' of a program.
Pretty much no testing has been done, but it should work as planned.
Requirements:
- Power Macintosh (any kind will do)

Subject: [*] macattack-198
MacAttack is a fast-paced arcade game only available on (you guessed it)
the Mac. The game plays similar to the classic arcade game "Tempest" and
the Mac version of it "Arashi". However, the graphics have been updated
substantially. Version 1.98 fixes a problem that caused MacAttack to
hang (under OS 8.1) following the end of a game. Some other minor
improvements were added such as saving the difficulty setting between
games.
MacAttack is fun for players of all skill levels. There are 5 difficulty
settings and unlike most games they significantly affect the way the
game is played. This is the full version of MacAttack, however before
registering you'll only be able to play 3 demo levels (levels 3, 6, and
11 ) from the full game which has 30 levels and over a dozen different
enemies. When you send in the $15 shareware fee you'll get a password to
unlock all 30 levels of the game. For more info and to order the game
visit our web page: http://www.kagi.com/newreality/
Features:
* Full-screen play on any Monitor. MacAttack will scale to the size of
your monitor (even 20 inch ones) if you give it enough memory.
* Smooth animation - 30 frames/second, digitized explosions
* Rendered 3d graphics
* Digitized explosions
System requirements:
* System 6.07 or later
* Any Macintosh capable of running color Quickdraw. Including: Mac SE30
or later and most PowerBooks
* 2MB of free RAM

Subject: [*] McPoet4.5
McPoet is a set of tools for text generation and text morphing: that is,
tools for writing computer-generated and computer-assisted poetry. It
uses its own simple language to allow the text-generation rules to be
completely user-configurable. It is easy to write your own rules for
McPoet even if you know nothing about programming your Mac. You can also
use the large set of built-in rules, or the (now much-improved)
automatic rule-generating function which can turn ordinary text into an
executable rule. The text morphing features include an automatic version
of Tristan Tzara's original Dadaist formula for creating poetry from
text, an eecummingsfication feature for imitating the style of the great
poet ee cummings, multiple forms of Markov chaining (with several
built-in probability tables) and much more. Rule files and the word-type
files that they reference are stored externally, on disk. As a result,
there are no strong constraints on the number of word types or rules you
can use- McPoet can be massively expanded by the end-user.
Versions 4.x are much improved over version 3.x. Version 4.4
crashed under System 8.1; Version 4.5 is an identical replacement which
runs under System 8.1.
In tribute to its Dadaist roots, McPoet is uncopyrighted and
free. It may be freely redistributed in any way. It requires at least 4.5
megabytes of free disk space, at least 3 megabytes of available RAM, and
a fast processor (or great patience!). Though a PowerPC is highly
recommended, it is compatible with all Macs.

Subject: [*] ProcessWatcher 3.1
ProcessWatcher provides a very easy way of monitoring the processes
running on your computer or a remote computer running MacOS,
including "background-only" applications.
ProcessWatcher can display two kind of windows: processes lists and
process information. Processes list windows display a list of
the running processes; process information window give information
such as the Process Serial Number, the active time, the launch flags.
ProcessWatcher can also connect to a remote ProcessWatcher application
(either ProcessWatcher or PWd, the ProcessWatcher background only
daemon application) to monitor the processes running on another
machine of the network.
Using ProcessWatcher you can also kill the running processes, launch
new processes, and send Open AppleEvents to running processes, easily
bring an application to the front... It has some support for
scripting so you can open your remote connections automatically.
Version 3.1 is MacOS 8 appearence compliant.

Some basic fonctions are also available: zooming and moving the font
currently displayed. VisualFont also offers a dozen of settings in the

Improved handling of local files including the creation of folder
structures. Change local path prefix command allows to "move" whole

Subject: [*] WebScanner-1.1
WebScanner lets you scan sites using keyword recognition, and it retrieves
pages to your hard disk nicely in background while you are doing other
things in the web. It runs on a PowerMac and needs a color monitor. Since
you wouldn't use it without running Netscape or Explorer, a minimum 48 MB
RAM is required. If you scan a lot, disk cache may require 100-600 MB.
Welcome fatware!
WebScanner reads/writes both Netscape and Explorer bookmarks, url and link
files. You can also drag&drop between browser, email program and
WebScanner. Manual is unfinished but I'll be working on that, as well as
add some more features.
I originally wrote it to myself to be able to extract what's *really* new
in all those internet news sites, and reduce all that noise with filtering,
and then do webcrawling and say hello (by email) to everybody it recognizes
in the pages. If you like I can make it shareware, but I just wanted to add
that nasty authorizing panel. The program operates 15 minutes in full mode.
I used only get-it command from CL-HTTP library (developed in MIT AI lab),
but full CL-HTTP is included, so basically it has full server capabilities.
It is also plug-in expandable if you want to extend it.
You can include the program in your Info-Mac CD-ROMs, but do not distribute
it with clock-tweaking utilities..
