Select a character from that menu to "type" it into the currently edited text. Version 1.3.2 is a maintenance release with fixes for the following problems: * Clicking PopChar Pro's floating window while a pop-up menu was open caused the current application to hang. * PopChar Pro's floating window caused crashes and freezes in AppleWorks 6. * PopChar Pro now works with Microsoft Office 2001 (see the PopChar Pro User's Guide for details). * PopChar Pro didn't insert selected characters when Window Monkey was also installed under Mac OS 9.1. * The keyboard equivalents and the ordinal number displayed in the PopChar Pro menu were not properly redrawn when certain Kaleidoscope schemes were used. * Under certain circumstances, the PopChar Pro Installer displayed a false virus alert. PopChar Pro is distributed by UNI SOFTWARE PLUS. This submission contains the PopChar Pro Installer that will ask for a license key. If you don't have a license key, the installer will create a full-featured but time-limited demo.

Its main advantage over other programmes is that data can be entered not only as individual data values but also as mean˜SEM or mean˜SD. In this new version data can be entered not only from the keyboard but also by importing from a text file. QuickTTest runs on any Mac with any system from 7.6 up to and including 9.1. The programme is freeware.

With the adjective-dictionary you may study declension, comparative and superlative and adverb-forms. You can look up and practice conjugation of imperfective and perfective regular and irregular (reflexive) verbs in all tenses. The nouns-dictionary helps you look up and practice all cases and modi of regular and irregular nouns. Grammar- and thematic- groups help you gain better access and keep an easy overview. Speech- recording for pronounciation is possible; the nouns-dictionary include some 1.100 recordings of important vocab. You may also associate pictures with every vocab-entry - interesting for association excercises within the excercise-module. Appr. 750 pictures can already be found in the nouns- dictionary. With every Russian word you can include as many examples, phrases etc. as you wish; you½ll find thousands of examples/ phrases/sentences already included. The excercise-module offers various excercises for studies/ tests (translation in both directions, dictation, flexion, quiz, association and combinations thereof, hangman/wheel of fortune and anagrams). Short- and longtime memory can be trained effectively; network capability is provided (schools/ universities etc.). You can enter as many vocab, information, pictures and sounds as you want to; predefined grammar-rules and the stem-procedure-generator will support you to find the correct rules more easily. You can merge the dictionaries, create updates, im- and export vocabulary. In combination with V&N Lookup you have a unified dictionary which includes the inforamtion contained in all other Verbs and Nouns Russisch dictionaries. You may also perform spell-checks and translate Russian text out of any program.

But there IS a work around posted in Apple's technical support page. Open Applications (Mac OS9) folder and located Sharlock. Then move it to Apple Menu Items folder in the System Folder. You may need to delete the alias of Sherlock beforehand. After this minor repair, Sherlock becomes functionning again within IE5.0.

(PS, NE)" To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: Recommended OS for PB 165c My son was recently given a PowerBook 165c for which we're trying to determine what the best OS revision would be. It has 8Mb RAM and a 120 Mb internal HD. No software disks came with it, but I have some OS 7.1 disks from prior Mac's (not powerBooks), OS 7.5 is downloadable from Apple, and I have an OS 7.6 CD. I tried instlling OS 7.6 last night, but at restart I got an error message indicating there wasn't enough memory available, even with extensions off. I take that as a bad sign for using OS7.6. Any suggestions as to what to try next and how to minimize the system folder? It's been a while since I had to worry about running such a trim ship.

Maybe I'll just go back to Netscape 4.7 for a while. Well, That's one solution. But, I can suggest a simpler solution; Pull down the Apple Menu and select Sherlock when you need it. To me, that's a far more satisfying solution than having to put up with Netscape.
