Contours is a program for the Macintosh which is designed to aid the 3D hobbyist or professional. It allows one to mathematically create bitmaps that can be used as 2D maps in a wide variety of 3D applications. Contours creates a contour plot of a 3D mathematical function which is of the form z = f(x,y). Each pixel in the image will be mapped to an (x,y) coordinate pair, a value for z will be calculated, and a color will be assigned to the resulting z value for that pixel. The color of a pixel is determined by mapping the resulting z value to a color which is between the color chosen to represent z min, and the color chosen to represent z max. This allows the precise creation of 2D maps which can then be used other apps. The images can be saved as PICT files, or as numbered PICT for animations. The user can input a function as a string in algebraic infix form to be plotted which uses any of the following operators: addition: + subraction: - multiplication: * division: / exponentiation: ^ square root: sqrt() trig functions: sin(), cos(), tan(), asin(), acos(), atan(), Hyperbolic: sinh(), cosh(), tanh() absolute value: abs() Round down: floor() Round up: ciel() Randon value: rand() Logarithmic: log(), log10(), exp() Requirements: - PowerPC Processor with FPU (or software FPU) - 1 Meg of free memory Send any comments, bugs, or suggestions to clayton@texas.net. http://clayton.home.texas.net This file may be distrubuted on the CD-ROM of the archives as long as it is not modified in any way without my consent.

DepecheOS is a scheme file for the very cool shareware control panel Kaleidoscope (which you should know if you bothered to download this). This scheme is basically what I wanted to see in a scheme. I saw a few schemes that I thought had great looks (Onyx, Tessarosa, etc.), but none of them had everything I wanted. Mainly, I wanted a LOT of blue, as well as some nice references to one of my favorite bands...Depeche Mode. Are the any special items in DepecheOS? Yes. I made the windowshade sound change into the intro to the Depeche Mode song "Master & Servant". When you click to collapse a window, you hear a high-pitched "It's A Lot", and you hear the lower pitched "It's A Lot" when you bring the window back. Some of the other enhancements include my credit screen (a nice hack of the MacOS startup screen), the Strangelove cover replaces the generic icon, and I replaced the double-clickable system sound icon with the megaphone logo cover of the "Behind The Wheel" single (but only the full-sized icon - the smaller sound icons are still the standard Apple ones). Is there any fee for DepecheOS? No. This is freeware. Since I have enjoyed all the fine shareware/freeware that's available on the net, and all the time that people have put into their creations, I thought this would be my way of giving back. Anyway, you shouldn't have to pay for any scheme! Though, if you really do like the scheme, might I suggest that you go and buy a Depeche Mode CD. You'll like it. Can I include your scheme on a CD Rom compilation? No. This file contains images and sounds of the band Depeche Mode. Due to this, distribution on any CD Rom would be illegal, since people would have to buy the CD Rom, and since the band wouldn't see a cent of those profits. Distribution on the net, which is free, is fine. Please alert me if you are distributing this archive (other than a standard info-mac mirror). Tech stuff... This scheme was created on a PowerMac 8500/180, using Kaleidoscope 1.8.2., and running System 8. It runs fine for me, but I make no warranties for you. It looks less-than-pleasant with anything less than 256 colors (I run millions of colors myself). This scheme is designed to run only with Kaleidoscope 1.8.2. (or newer). If you don't have v1.8.2. (or newer), go download it! Other thoughts... Please do NOT include this scheme on any Info-Mac CD Roms. Due to the use of the Depeche Mode icons and sounds, as well as the hidden Apple hack, selling a CD containing this would be a copyright violation. Downloading this scheme for your own personal use is fair use though. Legalaties All Depeche Mode sounds and icons are =A9Mute Records. The hidden Apple screen shot is a variation of the MacOS logo, which is =A9Apple Computer. These copyrighted items are used without permission, but with no financial gain, and are not meant to make any of the companies appear in a bad way. If this scheme bothers any copyright holders, please feel free to email me. Credits Hacks, alterations, and hours of pixel-testing by Daniel "The BRAT" Barassi.

Occasionally Word refuses to launch, claiming there is a lack of system memory. This is usually an intermittent problem and often launching Word again will succeed. FixWordSystemMemory "fools" Word in to believing there's enough space in the system heap, which bypasses the test and allows it to launch every time. Version 2.1 fixes a bug which caused printing to fail for some people. It also limit the scope of the patches so that the chance for incompatibilities is reduced. I suggest that everyone who was using an older version of the extension upgrade to this version. This program is totally free.

Jeremy Tira-Thompson 663 Mount Hope Rd South Fork, PA 15956 cft1@pop.pitt.edu http://www.pitt.edu/~cft1/Jeremy/Jeremy.html This is a NewtonScript proto that allows programmers an easy way to create views that can be intuitively resized by the user. I have included a sample package which uses several resize boxes in different ways. In this way, you can easily see how the protoResizeBox feels & reacts with different settings, and the different design issues to be considered. (clipping problems in particular - a good scrolling setup would usually be an ideal solution) The demo program is a simple little thing that allows you to add polygons to a main view & then move them around. The views include a protoResizeBox, and some have multiple protoResizeBoxes. This shows how the different justifications of the protoResizeBox change its behavior. [... clip ...] Requirements: Any 2.0 Newton system should be capable of running the demo package, and protoResizeBox may be capable of running on older systems with some modification. I want to move on to other projects. Disclaimer: It's not my fault if anything goes wrong! Tell me about it though, I will try to keep it from happening again. I hereby release this proto as freeware. As long as I get due credit for the proto, I will be happy. Please inform me of inclusion on any CDs or other mass distribution.

I had her set up with System 7.6.1 & the accelerator manual recommends System 7.1 because that evidently was the last system available when AE went out of business. I figured that I might as well try it with 7.6.1 anyway. Of course, the control panel caused a startup freeze & Conflict Catcher verified that it was indeed the culprit. I was just wondering, does anyone have any experience with this accelerator? I plan to downgrade her system version to gain the purported 500% speed increase. Do I have to use 7.1, or do any varieties of 7.5.x work with this card? Unfortunately, I have CD's for just about any system flavor except 7.1! Anybody know what Apple charges to order 7.1? Too bad they don't post that system on their website! I would appreciate any input.

Tim Kelly created 4 control strip modules ("CSM's") called TCP CC (Configuration Changer), Modem CC, FruitSpeak CC, and OT/PPP CC. They each can open their respective control panels, and also display any configurations you have made in the control panels, and the OT/PPP CSM even is able to connect/disconnect directly through the OT/PPP control panel without opening it up. You can access any of your configurations in those control panels directly from the Control Strip module without opening the control panel itself. It makes it really quick to change to your various saved settings. Each little CSM is shareware and costs $1.00 each. The "FruitSpeak" (read, "AppleTalk" but Apple wouldn't let him use their trademarked term) configuration changer lets you change your Apple Talk settings right from the little control strip module. Very handy! His website address is: http://www.madison-web.com/tkelly/ and you can download the CSM's from that page, pay him the $1.00 for each you want to register, and he will send you fully functional paid versions by email.

I think it is possible that the problem with Apple Menu Options was not with itself as such, but with tracking "Recent" items. Have it track recent files, folders, and so on, significantly slows down my machine. I ALWAYS turn it off. With it off, I have no problems with Apple Menu Options. Also, Kenneth didn't mention if he had reset his Memory control panel after updating to OS 8.1. If he hasn't already done so, he should go to the Memory control panel and click "Use Defaults" (then turn off Virtual Memory again, if he doesn't want to use it). That will set the cache to its preferred size. Unless you set it yourself, it defaults to 96K, which will make the computer run as if frozen.

Something is messed up in his computer. The symptom was that his extension manager (EM) kept creating new prefs (My Settings) instead of using the ones we set up. When I went to remove EM to reinstall it, I noticed that inside the preference folder, there were MANY extra files. Each pref file that had been used had been (at least) duplicated once, the name was truncated, and then the suffix .SNM was added to the new file. What then happenes is that EM cannot find the file EM preferences because the original one has been truncated and so it creates a new pref file. This problem happens after I ran SAM 4.5.1 (no viruses) and Norton Disk Doctor 3.5.x. I have tried to remove 3rd party extensions with no luck. I've never seen this before. HELP!
