Subject: [*] Fetch-O-Matic 2.0.3 automated website maintenance via FTP
Fetch-O-Matic is a new approach to automated website maintenance via FTP.
Fetch-O-Matic allows web authors to freely create and update files locally
without needing to keep track of their work, and then automatically catalog
the alterations and update the website.
Fetch-O-Matic differs from other available synchronization and maintenance
schemes in that it does not require any local machine to have a complete
site copy. For example, one might decide to grab a few pages and change
them (and/or add some new files) from a Powerbook. Later, the site copy on
the primary machine can be quickly brought up-to-date with just two clicks
- without having to remember what was changed or open the Powerbook.
Fetch-O-Matic is extremely easy to use. Novice web authors in search of a
simple way to update a personal web page won't be intimidated by its power.
Experienced hands will find that previously dreaded operations such as
multi-file search and replace, with the subsequent headache of tracking
down and uploading scattered altered files, are rendered painless. Transfer
errors such as uploading/downloading to the wrong directory are a thing of
the past. If several people are maintaining a site they are protected from
treading on each other's updates.
Fetch-O-Matic was conceived and developed to fill a need in servicing a
large site (http://www.filmscouts.com). Uploads and downloads of thousands
of files at once have been performed with ease. But even on a site with
just a few pages, Fetch-O-Matic will ease the updating chores.
Fetch-O-Matic requires Dartmouth's FTP client "Fetch", AppleScript, the
scripting addition Jon's Commands, and, optionally, Alessandro Levi
Montalcini's "List Files" (providing a significant speed improvement for
large sites), all of which are readily available online. Fetch-O-Matic runs
on any Mac OS machine with reasonable (8mb+) RAM running System 7 or 8. It
runs in the background. It is shareware with a single-user license fee of
$20. There is a free 30-day trial period.
The complete documentation is available online at the Fetch-O-Matic home
page, http://www.filmscouts.com/software/fom.html
*** Version note: v. 2.0.3 incorporates new features, bug fixes and
improvements to the User Guide.**

Subject: [*] Hyperize v2
Hyperize2 is a standalone drag-and-drop application that converts plain
text documents into HTML. Hyperize2 does what is required to duplicate, as
far as practicable, the structure and appearance of your text on a Web
page.
Hyperize2 creates pages, frames, or fragments of HTML code from files that are
dropped on it or opened interactively, or from text on the Clipboard. It
arranges for HTML formatting commands that reproduce your document's structure
in terms of paragraphs, lines, indents and, to some extent, columns. It also
translates characters which are special either to HTML or to the Macintosh into
HTML-acceptable equivalents.
If you've used Hyperize 1.1 before, you'll notice the following new features:
Hyperize2 runs native on a PowerPC.
Hyperize2 can now create whole pages, frames, or fragments of
HTML-encoded text.
Hyperize2 can now read from and/or write to the Clipboard.
Hyperize2 is much smarter than its predecessor about indentation, and
somewhat smarter about columnar layouts.
Hyperize2 has two new formatting options. They concern whether leading
white space on a line is intended to introduce new paragraphs or new
column-aligned list items, and the distance between column stops.
Hyperize2 stores its default preferences in a preferences file, and
allows the user to create secondary settings files for particular types
of task, such as hyperizing justified text fragments or whole program
listings. These files can be opened from within the application or
double-clicked to launch the application with their settings.
Hyperize2 lets you browse for documents and applications when setting
the File Creator for its output files. It also allows you to choose an
output file name and location that's different from the default.
Hyperize2 works on any type of Macintosh with System 7 or later. It can run in
about 128Kb of memory, in which any number of files of any size can be
processed. Operations involving the Clipboard require more, according to
the size of its contents.
The (fat binary) application itself is about 64k.
Freeware. Feedback is appreciated.

Subject: [*] IC 1.2 (updated)
Intelligent Chaos (IC) is a simple tool which allows You to study the
emergence of chaotic behaviour in the logistic equation and related
iterations. Of course there already exist plenty of programs that makes
beautiful chaotic graphs, but You will never understand chaos theory
without looking at the actual numbers. That is what You can do with IC,
in great detail. The equation used is a*x*(1-x), but in future versions,
you will be able to change this. The chaotic parameter (a) is given the
default value 3.5699, that is just below the point where chaos sets in,
but the idea is of course that You should let i vary from 2 to 4. Use
Balloon help to get info about the controls.
The included CrossBasic sourcecode shows how the execution of the
formula works.
This version is about 100% better than 1.1, and has many bugfixes,
together with a lot of new features.

Subject: [*] Jubal Sans 1.2 Multiple Master font - a scalable Espy Sans
Jubal Sans version 1.2; December 28, 1997; by Martin P. Pfeiffer.
Jubal Sans is a font family that brings Apple Computer's "Espy Sans"
bitmap font to the printed page.
About the Jubal Sans Multiple Master font:
Jubal Sans is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font. Espy
Sans is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy
readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is also used by the
Newton and comes with the Newton Toolkit as well as the Newton Toolkit
Demo (part of "Programming for the Newton" by McKeehan and Rhodes).
Now you can use Espy Sans on your printer as well. I was fascinated by
the towering x-height and easy readability of this font when I first
started using eWorld. Then the font showed up again in Greg Landweber &
Ed Voas' "Aaron" system extension to update the look of your Mac. I
designed Nu Sans, which is a TrueType/PostScript version of Espy Sans.
But these fonts were only based on the 12 pt versions of Espy Sans-there
are other sizes as well, from 9 to 16 pt. So I decided to try my hand at
creating a Multiple Master font. It is a two-axis font (weight and
optical size) based on Espy Sans 9 & 16 pt and Espy Sans Bold 9 & 16 pt.

Subject: [*] MacASM82
MacASM82 is an AppleScript script that handles the converting of CAZ output
files into TI82 program files. CAZ is a utility that assembles Z80 assembly
into machine code. However, CAZ was never intended for the TI calculators,
and the author of CAZ attempted to add some interprogram converting to CAZ,
as demonstrated by the ZSHELL and greyed out TI83 output options under the
CAZ menu (see section 4 for more information). MacASM82 merely creates a
program file header, given all of the data fed to it in the selected CAZ
output file. It does this by doing a load of calculations (which I would
never have been able to complete without the guidance of the ASM82 mailing
list at www.ticalc.org). DOS users have, for a long time, been able to
assemble and make TI82 assembly programs. Now, the many Mac geniuses will
be able to also.
A final note: MacASM82 was never intended to be used as a teaching method.
I provide absolutely no information on learning assembly language in this
package. If you do not know Z80 assembly, but are interested anyway, search
the web for asm ti sites, etc.
