Hang2000 v1.4 Released! Merrimack, New Hampshire, April 22, 1999: Ken Winograd and Space-Time Associates announced today the release of version 1.4 of a fun Macintosh shareware game called Hang2000. Hang2000 is a new take on the classic hangman word guessing game we all played when we were kids. It features colorful, non-violent graphics, digitized sounds, synthesized speech, dozens of built-in word categories, thousands of words, unlimited lists of your own words, and much more. Hang2000 is "secretly educational". It's played for fun, but you can't help learning. Included in Hang2000 is a new "knowledge area". This area will include information associated with the guessed word or phrase. If the word chosen is from the States or Countries category, for example, the knowledge area will show the capital of the State or Country. If the category is Authors or Composers, the knowledge area will show facts about, or famous works of, the author or composer. You can also make your own lists (unlimited in number) and include your own associated information. There are dozens of categories, guaranteed to include something for everyone. From Monsters and Dinosaurs to Star Trek and Television Shows, from Animals and Birds to Colors and Cities, from Fruits and Vegetables to Presidents and Vice-Presidents, from Rock and Roll to Opera and Musical Instruments. And literally dozens more! Version 1.4 of Hang2000 includes a new Multi-Level Winning Streak Score Board. Now students and family members alike can keep track of their winning streaks. And, best of all, separate scoreboards are kept for each difficulty level, so users can compete against users choosing the same difficulty level. Also new in Version 1.4 of Hang2000 is full support for what's often known as "accented" characters. Hang2000 now supports the entry and display of words in many languages, including Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish. Language teachers take note, Hang2000 makes learning vocabulary more fun than ever before. Hang2000 requires a Macintosh that supports 256 colors or more.

Now with several new optional features: 1) 'Talking Keys,' which lets you hear key names as you type them; 2) 'Spoken Prompts,' which lets the program make audible comments; and 3) Dvorak typing, which in some cases may let you type faster. These three new features are mouse-click options; you can turn each of them on, if you like, or just use the program in the regular way. The program also includes an on-screen Pop-Up menu that lets you read about each of the program's standard features. Individuals with regular Macintoshes should download MacTypingTutor4.3.1 or earlier. Schools can arrange to acquire both the Power Mac version and regular Mac version for the same fee. The MacTypingTutor programs are great for beginning typing students. They use five integrated work areas that together teach correct finger placement and memorization of the keyboard keys. Practice exercises focus on single letters, letter and number sequences, words, sentences, paragraphs, and free typing. The program offers a spelling checker, user-defined speed goals, score sheets, time tracking with rest signals, and many other helpful features. You can hide or show your typing, screen-keyboard, and feedback reports. You can adjust difficulty level from very easy to hard (this is a good feature for younger children). The program automatically remembers your work-preferences from session to session. MacTypingTutor comes in the regular version, a special keyboard version (Dvorak), a French version, an English version with a French keyboard-layout, and one-handed versions (left or right).

But don't be misled: what it propose doesn't have the power of real scripting tools. Listening to the complaints about Apple's Script Editor's shortcomings, I have written in AppleScript using Dialog Director and Akua Sweets (you'll also need Jon's Commands if you don't have OS 8.5) an applet to help fill in these shortcomings. Here's how it works: it is a floating palette (that can float above any application) with buttons, that are linked to script files actually. When a button is clicked, the corresponding script file is loaded as script object and executed. And this is why Script Palette's possibilities are without any limits: anyone can create his own script files and have Script Palette load them as buttons. In fact you can also use Script Palette with any other kind of work and create your appropriate buttons. You can customize the style, the width and the height of the buttons. A few basic buttons are povided with Script Palette; you can make use of them or delete them. Script Palette is freeware. Don't forget to drop me a word () saying that you've downloaded it: you'll be informed about updates and receive them directly by email if you wish. And if you find it useful, recommend it to your friends!

Although the basics can be learned quickly, it has a number of subtleties which give it the ability to hold the interest of players over a long period of time. The rich history of this game has produced a number of local variations, but the basic outlines have been standardized by the German Schafkopf Association. These and the US-rules from the National Sheepshead Association form the basis of this program which implements a four-player version of the game. * The computer simulates three players each with selectable playing styles. Sound, personal game statistics, and assorted card types add variety. Comprehensive explanations of the rules, playing strategy suggestions, and a training mode are available for beginners. The program simulates 3 players each of whom can be given one of four playing styles. Sounds include 6 voices (3 male and 3 female). Play ratings, assorted card faces, contextual help and rules for beginners are a standard part of the program. Variations include practice mode, bock rounds, and twelve different solo types. Schafkopf/Sheepshead-Version V1.1 includes the following improvements since V1.0: - You can display a large card table as your playing surface. - Bock rounds and "wenzels" are now available as part of play. - Several bugs related to the text display and old German card sets have been corrected. - Support for the new open/save dialogs in System 8.5. - PowerPC-native code for faster speed. - Support for Macs without disk drives (e.g., iMac). Disk 1 is no longer requred. - many additional small improvements in details including, for example, the play of your cards with a single mouse click. You can choose a single or double click.

It contains an introductory database (Master) plus selection of related templates (Contacts, Journal, and Schedule) which are designed to be used together to manage and document personal and professional activities. The templates for Contacts and Journal can be used alone, however, the Schedule template is heavily linked to Contacts. Please note that the Journal portion of the PIM supersedes Journal 1.05 and Journal 1.06 which are now obsolete. Users who registered for either of these may secure a free password to the new Journal portion of PIM by contacting the developer. PIM (SimPimv2.fp3) contains three primary templates and should be compatible with both PC and Macintosh platforms although it has not been tested for the PC. The databases are: Master 2.0.0 (Mstr200.fp3) to present a title page and introductory documentation. Contacts 2.0.0 (Cntct200.fp3) to keep track of personal and business contacts. It has two layouts: an entry page and a list view. Journal 2.0.0 (Journ200.fp3) to maintain a computer-based diary or journal. It has two layouts: a journal entry page and a list (contents) view. Schedule 2.0.0 (Schdl200.fp3) to record and manage appointments and to-do's. It has three layouts: an entry page which contains complete data, a list page which summarizes to-do's and appointments, and an expense page. Users have full access to every feature of the PIM except for designing or changing layouts, editing scripts, and defining value lists. These features may be accessed after registration.

The individual games are undertaken by a Soloist and two opponents. Skat was invented in Altenburg, Germany, at the beginning of the 19th century and came out of earlier card games. In its current form, it has developed into the most popular and widespread German card game. It is played today all over the world. Bridge players will find it a new challenge. Players of simpler games will enjoy the step up. The Computer simulates up to two players who choose between Suit, Grand, and Null Games or Ramsch. You can play under the official rules or allow other popular non-official options such as doubling and redoubling, Pub Skat, and Bock Rounds.

It displays the lifetimes and travels of historical figures, and dates and locations of historical events. It is a tool for keeping track of when and where things happened, and their relationships to each other. It is meant to provide a way to keep track of the multitude of different peoples, dynasties, empires and developments throughout history. It answers questions like, "What else was happening in the world at that time?" Twistory is a historical dictionary that you can use to create maps and time-lines. A resource of over 2100 people, events and places is included. The database has an open text format, so that more historical information can be added by any user. A complete description of the file format is included. The two main windows are the time-line window, which shows lives and events against a variable time scale, and the map window, which shows people and events in their geographic locations during an interval of time. There is also a genealogy window which shows the ancestors and descendants of the selected person, and an info window that shows additional details about the person or event. A "This Day in History" window lists all milestones occurring on a particular day of the year. It also has a "Find" window.
