The results can be displayed with different exploitations (Profit+Loss, Budget, VAT,...) and with different graphics. I give permission for my program to be included on CD-ROM. New in Version 5.2: In Europe we have a new currency (Euro). All countries has to change from their own currency to the new common one within the next 3 years. So I add some features to Mac-HaBu which will allow this very easy. With this feature I added the possibility to use two other currencies. These may be used together with the new currency. E.g. to convert from other currencies to the new one (Euro). But you can use the feature to convert amounts from one currency to another one. Now it is possible to change the size of the columns in all expoitations. This version is full compatible with version 8.5 of MacOS.

NameChum is a useful application for changing the name of files, folders and disks. It can add prefix and/or suffix by using one of offered options: * user's choice, * date, * time, * progressive number. Moreover NameChum has other cool features for working on names: * searches/replaces characters, * removes any number of characters starting from whatever position into names, * truncates start and/or end of names. Through preferences you may decide: * the default action, * the default job system, * whether NameChum should scan directories, * whether it should change names of directories, * whether it should restart the progressive number at each session, * whether it should try to set the extensions of names following the Internet Config "File Mapping" setting, * whether it should set the extensions of names following only the Internet Config File Mapping" setting, * up to four file type to ignore during the renaming, * up to four file type to rename, ignoring the other ones. NameChum is useful for normal desktop usage, but is cool when works, fine, fast and in background, with thousands of files. By using hot keys you may skip the "request" dialog and changing, on the fly, by using the default action. Moreover there's a key for setting the preferences before work.

When you create a Tajima format file, Punto=AE (and most other embroidery digitizing programs) write the name of the file into the Tajima file header so that when the file is opened in your Tajima embroidery machine, a name appears next to the 'G001' on the Tajima screen. What if you don't like the name that was written to the Tajima file and want to change it without re-creating the file from a digitizing program? DST Renamer allows you to change the name in the header of any Tajima format file. It will also display some useful information about your Tajima file like the number of stitches and the number of color changes. Who Needs DST Renamer? If you have Tajima embroidery equipment and a Macintosh, you need DST Renamer. If you don't use Tajima format files (those embroidery files that end in .DST), DST Renamer is about as useful as a navel lint.

It is designed to allow quick and easy access to applications, Control Panels, Desk Accessories, Folders and other documents stored on your Macintosh, without having to navigate through several "Finder Windows" or through a multi-layered, hierarchical Apple menu. It works by clicking on icons installed in a floating window, or dropping documents onto them. This approach is much handier than aliases that are on the desktop because the floating windows that contain the icons can never be covered by windows. HandyMan also requires a lot less desktop space than the same number of icons on the desktop.

This is a client program (visual front end) that communicates over the internet using IRC protocols to a poker server so that you can play poker with other real players and some not-so-real players. Obviously (I hope) you need to have your internet connection running before you can use this software to play. It was mostly modeled after Greg Reynolds' Gpkr -- an excellent IRC poker client for Windows which most IRC poker players seem to be using. McPoker does not yet have some of the advanced features of Gpkr, but I think you will find that it makes IRC Poker an enjoyable experience on a Macintosh. You will need to be using Open Transport networking on your Macintosh for McPoker to work.

In simple terms, Type and Creator signitures are the codes by which the Mac OS associates files with applications. They also effect the icon which a file displays on the desktop. It can be useful to be able to change these if you, for example, have a bunch of text files which you saved while surfing the World Wide Web. The trouble is that you don't want to have to open them opening in your web browser every time you double click them - you want to open them with a great text editor like BBEdit, so you change the files type and creator codes so that when you double click on your text files they open straight into BBEdit. You're not changing anything about the actual file, just what program the Finder thinks they were made with. Mini Conversion is also compact so that you can leave it running in the corner of your monitor while you work :) Batch conversion - drop folders onto Mini Conversion to convert the contents.

(Just for curiosity or academic purposes) The faster your machine the faster it finds the primes, if anyone decides to make a prime number generator out of assembly code for the Mac I'd like a copy of the program for testing. If you have suggestions, code, or other info for future development let me know. Next release should have an ability to output primes to a separate file. It also looks to see if any primes turn out even, and so far out of 12,000 primes it hasn't found any.

PowerMenu is a utility that adds powerful commands to your contextual menu if you are running MacOS 8 or better. If you are running the older Macintosh System 7, PowerMenu adds a contextual menu to your system so you can still use this innovative feature without upgrading to MacOS 8. PowerMenu's contextual menu commands let you do all these operations with a single click: *Open files straight into any application. If the application you want to use isn't running, PowerMenu automatically launches it for you. *Move, copy or make an alias of files straight into target folders of your choosing. *Quickly open commonly used files or launch any application. PowerMenu also provides these handy features: *"File Copy and Paste", a unique feature that makes manipulating files much easier. With File Copy and Paste, you can "pick up" files and "drop" them into another folder without dragging and dropping. You can even "gather" many files from different locations and copy or move them all to a single target folder with just a few clicks or keystrokes! *A pop-up menu, accessible from any application, that lets you quickly open or launch your commonly used files and applications with a single click. PowerMenu gets the job done faster with: *Fully hierarchical menus to allow you to group items into submenus for even faster access. *Multithreaded operation; PowerMenu rebuilds your menus in the background while you work, so even very large menus appear instantly. *Takes full advantage of MacOS 8 features, but is still fully compatible with System 7! Version 2.2.2 (January 9th, 1999) Provides the correct icon for each item on the Quick Access popup menu under MacOS 8.5 (icons are still generic under earlier releases of the MacOS). AppleEvents no longer time out when cutting & pasting very large files in the Finder. Some memory management improvements. Version 2.2.2a (January 15th, 1999) Corrects a bug in v2.2.2 that would cause machines without an installed debugger to crash under certain circumstances.

About QuickTrash... QuickTrash enables you to move a file, a set of files, a folder or a set of folders to Trash Folder with a point-and-click while your other hand is holding down a specific key combination to enable the feature. It is great when you have lots of files to remove and they are scattered all over or you have many windows opened so that you can't dig out the Trash to dump the files. How to install... QuickTrash is an INIT program that goes into Extension Folder of your Macintosh. After download, decode '.hqx' file, unstuff '.sit' file, then you will have a folder containing the program and other information. Move QuickTrash to your System Folder and click okay to move it into the Extension Folder. Restart your computer. How to operate... When you are on Finder, press down Control Key with Option Key. The arrow cursor should be changed to something else. Click with a mouse on the file you want to delete. If the cursor is not changed with the key combination or the file doesn't move to Trash when it clicked, maybe your machine is not configured to work with this version. Check the requirement again... To remove a set of files or folders, while QuickTrash is activated(combo-key), select files as you would do normally when you are in the finder(rubber band method). Requirements... This version is NO FAT which is only designed to work for PowerPC Macintosh, and only tested for MacOS 8.1 and MacOS 8.5. - PowerPC Macintosh - MacOS 8.0 or higher Shareware...
