Obviously the history of BackSlide goes back to the invention of the '15' puzzle, commonly attributed to Sam Loyd. But it is much nicer than "yet another '15' puzzle". Viewed on one side, it has 652 different solutions (as opposed to Loyd's 1). 8 of these are also meta-solutions, that is: both sides of the puzzle are solved simultaneously. All 652 solutions are included in a separate SlideShow applet, while 4 meta-solutions are accessible from a pop-up menu. If you find one other meta-solution, you will get permanent access to _all_. Alternatively, you can register for US$5 and get full access. Please see ReadMe.html (within the package) for all the details. The package contains all the necessary files to play BackSlide off-line. It requires a Java enabled web browser, for instance Netscape Navigator 3.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0. BackSlide should be compatible with Java 1.0 (Netscape 2.0.1/Win95). BackSlide is US$5 shareware, copyright 1996-97 by MindSports, http://www.mindsports.net/ You can preview and play BackSlide on-line, or download the package, from there.

(It's only 17K, plus a sample Reminders text file and a manual.) It works for me, which has made me the envy of all my friends and relatives. By setting reminders 10 or so days ahead, I find I'm as on the ball as the best of the rest of my friends and relatives in remembering to buy cards and presents (and to actually send them)--and way ahead of the date-impaired. Birthdays and Such runs on almost every Macintosh computer that's been made since 1986 -- Mac Plus through the latest PowerMacs. It requires only System Software version 6, but takes advantage of System 7 features when available. The steps to use Birthdays and Such are simple: You type important dates into a text file (just modify the sample Reminders file that's part of the package). And you set Birthdays and Such to run every time you start your Macintosh. (Simple instructions are in the manual) Enjoy!

Because of this nature of the program, it's intented for the poeple who can read and write Japanese and use Japanese in their e-mail. All the attached documents (except for the English version READ ME file) are written in Japanese. Therefore, you need to use the System which supports Japanese language: i.e. Kanji Talk, or US System + Japanese Language Kit to read documents. If you can not read Japanese, or even do not know what does Kanji mean, forget about this program and trash it. But if you use Japanese and have seen corrupted Kanji characters in the received e-mails, you might want to try this program to see if it can fix the corrupted Kanji characters. As long as I have tested, about 60% of the corrupted Kanji e-mail I have received in the past have been fixed successfully with this program. It's really easy operation and handy.

Even better, you can launch URLs directly from inside t= he database, which will then call upon the Internet Config system to open them = with the proper helper applications. To provide all the features and flexibility needed by international users, Software & Hardware Tracker distinguishes between the author or authors of a program, the company that makes it and the one that distributes it. Moreover, Software & Hardware Tracker differentiates between hardware produc= ts, commercial software products and freeware/shareware programs since different kinds of information are needed when dealing with each category of items. Fo= r instance, a commercial software package usually comes with a serial number t= hat works no matter what user name you use. But a shareware program will come= with a registration code based on personnal info, such as your name and address. Software & Hardware Tracker takes those differences and subtleties into acco= unt. Software & Hardware Tracker is shareware and costs $10 (though you can also = use it as freeware: see the enclosed documentation for conditions and limitation= s). Registrations are handled by Kagi Shareware. You can find three other shareware packages of mine, David's Kaleidoscope Si= lver Schemes Collection, David's Kaleidoscope Hi-Tech Schemes Collection and Davi= d's Kaleidoscope Patterned Schemes Collection on my homepage as well as on Info-= Mac (look in the "gui" directory for files named "kaleidoscope-silver-schemes.hqx","kaleidoscope-hitech-schemes.hqx" and "kalscp-patterned-schemes.hqx").

The 68k version will be out shortly. This is a major update to Speed Tester 2.0 and 2.1. This release adds quite a few features, such as a new test, progress indicators, balloon help, and movable dialogs. See the Version History for a complete list. Speed Tester is based on an old program called Check Ticks. This program would run a series of 10,000 GetNextEvent() calls, report how long it took, and then quit. Speed Tester greatly expands on this idea. Speed Tester includes three test, GetNextEvent(), Floating Point, and Graphics(when you register). It also includes a database of Macs for you to compare your times to. A few of the features are disabled until you register, see the Read Me for details.

The system involves viewing a free web page, that usually has 15 minute deferred quotes, at some constant rate. What results is a new web page that updates its information by itself. The alternative is to sit at the computer and "click" on reload every time you need the new prices. This way you can do other more important things - like complain (or celebrate) about the stock market. Stock Updator works with any O.S. on any machine with almost any web browser. Netscape and Explorer support it and so do some others. The readme file that accompanies Stock Updator has many details on how things work and how it can be used.

Primarily it's intended as a quick aid for programmers and technical support. It came about because I used to use a handy little thing called System Errors DA, which appears to have fallen by the wayside. The fault tables are separated and searchable, with look ups in decimal and hex, you can even use it as a hex convertor if you want. The fault tables are held in the application resource fork, the ResEdit template is there too. If you needed to update the existing tables or add third party library codes then it's very easy. SysErrors is shareware, charging for something like that, hmm, a little tight I hear you say. But the advantage is that if people submit changes and updates then I'll incorporate them and put out new versions. The cost is ONLY $5, if you wish too distribute a customized version then the distribution fee is negotiable.

The monitor's a 17 in Samsung. Since the 6116 is a sverevr an only occasionally needs to be checked on, I can't see the expense of putting a separate monitor / keyboard on it.

I asked this question a few weeks ago -- I ended up with something from "QVS" for about 16 bucks -- got it at one of the big computer superstores. Don' tbe fooled by the large 300 buck switch -- you want the cheap-o 20 buck switch. I have not done keyboards, however, though the switch claims to do keyboards, it may be only IBM style. :( The only down side is some ghosting in the monitor which may be due to the low quality cables I got to go from the swtich to the monitor (stupid me). -Gordon] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 12:59:38 +0000 From: Paulo Jorge Melo Subject: HP printers Share Can anyone tell me if exist any software for share an HP printers on a Ethertalk net, like Apple Laser Writer Bridge for Laser Writers ?
