Shareware ($30 for an individual license). This FAT version runs in native mode on both PowerPCs and 680x0 Macs. (Also available in PowerPC and 68K versions). Includes the Bertie font, a brief manual ("Read Me"), a license agreement, a program to facilitate the registration process ("Register"), Register's help file ("Register.txt"), and a folder of example problems. New in version 1.1: Bertrand now correctly recognizes identity-reflexivity. Bertrand is both an educational aid for students of logic and a practical tool for philosophers, logicians, computer programmers and mathematicians. Using an algorithm inspired by the "consistency tree" method found in Leblanc and Wisdom's textbook "Deductive Logic", Bertrand proceeds by decomposition and instantiation to solve first-order predicate logic statements for satisfiability, validity, equivalence, "logical truth" and "logical falsity." Subject-equality is supported. The program also produces truth-tables for truth-functional sentences. During the solution process, Bertrand issues "status reports", giving the user insight into the method by which Bertrand constructs its tree. These status reports can be stepped through one at a time, or they can be turned off entirely to speed up the solution process. Once Bertrand has solved a given problem, the tree constructed in the process is displayed in a scrolling window. A summary of results is given in a separate window. If applicable, a model in the form of a truth-value assignment to atomic statements is provided. Tree, Truth Table, and Premise files can be saved or printed, once the program has been registered. System requirements: a minimum 1 meg of free RAM is recommended, as is System 7.1 or higher. herzberg@humnet.ucla.edu [Archived as /info-mac/edu/bertrand-11.hqx; 435K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 05:39:35 -0700 From: aa731@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [*] Blade - bevel and texture filter Create appealingly 'touchable' 3-D appearances with Blade, the new Photoshop filter that combines realistic textures with bevels.

Is your club day or exploratory block overwhelming to organize? If so please read on. Club Manager is designed by a teacher for teachers and administrators. It was conceived when our Middle School timetable was modified to include an exploratory block offered once per week which we call club day. The intent was to have students chose a quarter year club, four times per year...and the emphasis was on choice. FEATURES 1.NO NEED TO TYPE IN NAMES - Imports students names from any school administration system. 2.ALLOWS STUDENTS TO INDEPENDENTLY CHOOSE - Club Manager allows students to choose the club they want in a safe, secure, and confidential manner. 3.NETWORK SAVVY - Allows for students to select a club from any remote computer connected to the school network or computer lab. In our school, we registered 180 students in 35 minutes on a plain AppleTalk network. 4.COMPLETELY CROSS REFERENCED - generates class lists by club name, teacher advisor group, or entire school alphabetically. Also generates attendance lists. 5.FLEXIBLE - allows for all conceivable problems in a school environment including new students, changed names, adjusting club allocations and de-registering students. 6.EDUCATIONAL - students learn how to do something for themselves and it only takes a few minutes. 7.SECURE - Club Manager is password protected and is completely bullet-proof from student harm via the network [Archived as /info-mac/edu/club-manager-10a-hc.hqx; 738K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 10:16:25 -0700 From: paranoid@panix.com Subject: [*] Damage Incorporated Demo 1.1 The file being submitted is a demonstration version of the commercial Macintosh game, Damage Incorporated, version 1.1.

Click and hold with your chosen key combination anywhere on the screen to display the popup picker, or else use the new floating picker window, to find and enter the character you're looking for. QuickChar displays the key combination and ASCII code for characters to save you time if you prefer to enter them manually. In QuickChar aware applications you can view the pickers in the font you're using- useful if you need to find a certain character in a Dingbats font, for example. This task is made easier by allowing fonts such as these to be displayed at an enlarged size if you wish. Version 1.5.5 incorporates the 1.5.1a upgrade, and has been extensively tested on many Macs. Other minor enhancements other than the main ones described above are present, and a copy of the SDK is included for programmers who may wish to add QuickChar support to their applications. QuickChar is PowerPC and 68K native, and runs on any post-7.0 system. thanks for your help, Alastair Matthews [Archived as /info-mac/font/util/quickchar-155.hqx; 337K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 05:39:41 -0700 From: rick@kagi.com Subject: [*] Solitaire_Till_Dawn_31.sit Solitaire Till Dawn is the premiere card game collection for the Macintosh. Version 3.1 contains 31 different games, including favorites such as Klondike, Golf, Pyramid, Canfield, Forty Thieves, and Spider, along with other more exotic games and even a few created expressly for Solitaire Till Dawn itself. This release adds the game "The Towers" and fixes a few bugs, including one that could cause a crash at startup and one that sometimes prevented profiles from being correctly saved. It also contains these features from earlier versions: beautiful professional graphics including many different window backgrounds and card designs, "smart cards" that zoom to their destinations with a single click, unlimited undo and redo of moves, the status bar that shows your progress and statistics at a glance, early win notification, Am-I-Stuck, "Magnetic Mouse" option for playing without typing or clicking (great for RSI relief!), and sound effects.

I have seen this game called Mancala, Ouare, Awele, Ayo and Kalah. I've seen it marketed under the name Arcana, and heard of a commertial version called "Sorry". I've heard it referred to as being African. Mesopotamian, East Asian, or Indian in origin, and seems to come in almost as many variations as card games do. The game is played all over the world, by all ages. Children aged 7 and up can play. Although not intended as an educationaly game, playing reinforces simple arithmetic skills. Stones II features full colour and sound, fast and easy play, full documentation, many game variants, and a selection of computer opponents varying from the mundane to the unbeatable. Play the computer or a friend. Stones II will run on any Macintosh computer equipped with system 7.0 or later and Colour Quickdraw (i.e. any Mac made since the Mac SE excludeing the PB 100 and the Classic). The game is both PowerPC and 68k native. It requires 1 Mb of hard drive space, and will run fine with 1 Mb of free memory. This game is shareware, $10 American or Canadian, but does not require registration for full features. This file does not replace Stones v1.2, which remains freeware.

The user can learn to play Blackjack better, by having a hint window displayed if an incorrect play is made, or having the problem deal only specific types of hands, like pairs or soft hands, so these can be practiced directly. Card counting can also be practiced. Going beyond the standard casino games, Ultimate Blackjack can show how much money a particular strategy will win (or lose) in Las Vegas, and even draws a histogram showing the distribution of outcomes. The statistical package tracks the payoff on each card combination to understand the best play. You can even experiment with two artificial intelligence routines, the genetic algorithm and learning agents, to see if a computer can learn to play Blackjack. Good Luck! Ultimate Blackjack is a shareware program and includes a 42 page electronic manual.

Hi folks, Does anyone have an idea if there are any SGML tools for the Mac? I'm not looking for anything fancy, mind you, just a simple browser, or something to convert SGML to HTML or to plain text or to some other format more common on the Mac. (I understand that recent versions of FrameMaker do SGML, but getting FrameMaker just for SGML would be a bit of an overkill, wouldn't it?)
