Unlike other pool table applications, you can set the table and balls to any size you wish. There are hundreds of settings available for speed and friction. The Aim Assist feature shows you which direction and how far the cue ball will go when you shoot. Shot Status information is provided, like a referee, to show whose turn it is, whether they've made a legal shot, whether a player has won the game, etc., according to rules for either 8Ball or 9Ball. To see what sets 8-Ball Emulator apart from the rest, try minimum ball size and friction settings. Full documentation is available thru the 'Save Help Text' button in the Help dialog.

Here is a FileMaker Pro solution to the challenge of charting, as bars graphed over time, a series of dated events, across a page beginning at the left side with the earliest beginning date and ending with the latest ending date of any of the bars. This is a Gantt chart. There are other Gantt charting solutions but the flexibility and ubiquity of FileMaker Pro makes it useful to be able to do Gantt charts directly in FileMaker. NEW in version 2.0 * Now handles up to 4 distinct event intervals for each record. So if you want to graph U.S. Presidents' terms of office, you can display Grover Cleveland's two noncontiguous terms on a single line with a break in between. Or you could graph the leadership of Apple Computer without having to have two records for Steve Jobs. * Now comes with a convenient second file, "Gantt Source", in which data can be entered, imported, or set via script from your other FileMaker files. Each line in Gantt Source is a record consisting of a name, Start Date, and End Date. Other fields are available for optional use to describe data further. A script in Gantt Source places the data in Gantt Chart, creating a second, third, and/or fourth interval as it comes across records in Gantt Source that have the same name as an existing record in Gantt Chart. Gantt Source is completely unprotected, so you can define new fields, relationships, scripts, and layouts, and incorporate it into your existing solutions. Gantt Chart has the field definitions and relationships protected, but scripts and layouts can still be edited. A pair of two-way relationships between the two files links them by item Name and by a "universal pivot" that lets you set global field values. * I am requesting a shareware fee of $15 now, although the product is in no way disabled pending my receiving of it, and it doesn't expire or display any reminder messages. NOTES from the original version (edited where appropriate for version 2.0): The interface for the Gantt Chart file is simple: each bar (item) is a record; create a new record, enter start date, end date (optional: second start date and end date; third start date and end date; fourth start date and end date), go to next entry, and when completed run the Set Overall Duration script (visible in the Script menu) that will calculate the earliest start date and latest end date in order ********** ABSTRACT CROPPED ********** [Archived as /info-mac/data/gantt-chart-fmpro-20.hqx; 155 K] ------------------------------ Date: 18 Mar 2001 From: To: Subject: [*] arracho Multi Prefs my program Carracho Multi Prefs 1.3 Classic and Carbon versions to your archive.

It is for students learning English as a foreign language and it can also be useful to native English speakers. This free module helps you to study and practise the different ways of forming the plural of English nouns. It contains 1500 English nouns, for example city/cities, box/boxes, leaf/leaves, and many less-common types. You choose the kind of noun that you want to practise, type the singular and plural forms, and the program marks your answer. The language is British-English (American-English variants are noted). You can change or delete existing entries, add new words, and construct groups of nouns that you want to practise. Translations in Italian are included, and Italian users can use it to practise translation. You can also do exercises based on sound, but at present you have to record the sound for yourself. To use this module, you need to have the application program 'Verbs & Nouns' version 1.6.7 or later, available from Info-Mac archives. For more information, visit .

I have the Public Beta installed on a partition called "Secondary" and I have about 7 other partitions with classic MacOS apps installed on them, and two contain copies of OS9 that can be run in the Classic environment.

It does not matter whether the utility includes other functions such as playback or not, and it is preferred to be freeware/shareware over commercial, but if you know of a commercial one, please suggest it anyway. MPRage 3.1 comes close, but does not list bit rates and channels for files when there is no ID3 tag info. The utility must list the basic fields of bit rate, CBR/VBR, channels, mpeg algorithm name (mpeg 1/2 and Layer), and duration even if there are no ID3 tags. The ID3 tags should be listed in separate columns and blank if not present. Some nice to have fields would be original bit, copyright bit, and high frequency mode bits but these are not required in an acceptable solution. The utility needs to be able to export the information to a text file. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 21:30:14 -0500 From: "A.W.
