The set includes Serial, Modem and Telnet tools. The Telnet tool is very robust and supports binary file transfers (e.g. ZMODEM over the internet). The Modem tool is self configuring for most modems and hence is very simple to set up and both the Serial and Modem tools support DTE speeds up to 115200 and 230400 bps. The Connection Set is free to all registered users of the Black Night Terminal Application, although the Modem and Telnet tools may also be registered on their own. The entire package may be included on the info-mac CD-ROM and it should be archived in the "info-mac/comm/ctb/" directory and should replace the file "black-night-conn-set-101.hqx".

In other words, it is a multi-pass block copier for removable media. CopyThru fills up your hard drive (or as much of it as you permit to be filled-up) with blocks, ejects the source volume, requests the destination volume, and then repeats until the copy is completed. Since it does asynchronous block-copying, it is much faster than Finder-dragging. Version 2.4 has many bugfixes (See the "Version Audit" section of the Docs for details) and a few improvements. - The cursors, sounds, mouse & keyboard handling has been standardized and is now uniform across all dialogs & alerts. - A new client-side ejection test has been added for those drive/system setups that just can't seem to get their media to eject. v2.4 will is still freeware.

Special thanks go to Christoph Sahm for his work in localizing Default Folder. Please place this alongside the English version already in the archives. Default Folder provides many of the essential features of the commercial SuperBoomerang and Directory Assistance utilities, but without the infrequently used extras that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage. Its time-saving Open and Save dialog enhancements allow you to: - Set up a default folder for any or all applications. - Switch among recently used folders from a pop-up menu. - See available disk space and switch between disks from a pop-up menu. - Click on a Finder window to display it in an Open or Save dialog. - Open the folder shown in an Open or Save dialog in the Finder. - Create folders, get information (including changing name, type, and creator), and move items to the Trash from within file dialogs. - "Rebound" back to the last file you used. - Make "Replace" the default option instead of "Cancel" when saving a file with the same name as an existing file. - Speed up the display of Open and Save dialogs by turning off custom color icons in the file list. Default Folder will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, and is accelerated for PowerPC. In addition to the standard internet archives, information and updates are available at: Default Folder may be included on the UMich and Info-Mac CD-ROMs. [Archived as /info-mac/gui/default-folder-271-de.hqx; 298K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Apr 1997 14:35:59 -0800 From: brianw@electriciti.com (Brian Wagner) Subject: [*] DEM Reader 1.5 (68K) This is the lastest 68K version of DEM Reader, a program for creating PICT images from digital elevation models.

FastFontMenu is a System Extension (INIT) which speeds up the building of the Font Menu in most applications. It does this by sorting the font names in an internal array, rather than insertion sorting them in the menu the way the current MacOS does. This improved algorithm is scheduled to be included in a future version of the MacOS, but since that'll take longer to ship, I'm releasing it now as freeware. It's scheduled to expire with version 7.7 of the MacOS. If the fix isn't in the system at that point, I'll release a new version, but I'd really rather have this fixed by the OS than by me. I have no idea what the picture is going to look like for MacOS:The NeXT Generation, but hopefully this sort of kludge won't be needed. FastFontMenu 1.1 adds caching. This has two benefits. The first is that it'll be MUCH faster for every font menu after the first, as long as your fonts haven't changed (applications that have fonts in their resource forks will clobber the caching, but they've been warned about that by Apple's Developer Support for more than five years). The second benefit is that after the first time, the memory requirements of FFM are much smaller. If you were seeing problems in a control panel or desk accessory, you should no longer see them as long as you've run an application that builds a font menu first. Ideally, this first pass at the menu would be built at startup time, and that's something I'm looking at for 1.2. Version History: 1.1.1 - Use SetMenuItemText to set font name in menu, instead of AppendMenu. This avoid problems with fonts containing slashes and other special characters. In my opinion, these fonts are broken, but nonetheless it causes problems.

If you have a web page which uses forms, when people visit your site and use the forms, the data is sent to you as an e-mail attachment.

Colors: Thousands (15bits) or millions (24bits). WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.1 Version 1.0 crashed on a lot of Mac models, but we have now fixed those problems. We have solved all the bugs that were reported. To make it worth your while, we have also reduced the time the "unregistered" alert is shown, from 6 seconds down to 2 seconds. THE GAME Manic Minefields is really 10 (!) different minesweeper games in one program, each with its own unique set of graphics, sounds, special rules, game plot and hiscore tables. In the unregistered version you only get to play 2 of the 10 games, but that's more than you get in the registered version of any other minesweeper game on the market. You might have played a game called 'MineSweeper' (MicroSoft), 'Landmines' (Atari Corp), or anything else with the word 'sweeper' or 'mine' in it. Then you probably know how to play, since the rules of those games and Manic Minefields are very similar. COPYRIGHT NOTE Manic Minefields is copyright 1997 Addiction Software HB, but you are allowed to put the unregistered version of the game on any media you like, including CD-ROM and FTP etc. Home Page: www.addiction.se Email: info@addiction.se [Archived as /info-mac/game/manic-minefields-11.hqx; 825K] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Apr 1997 01:18:29 -0800 From: aaa@interlink.or.jp (Kentaro Tanida) Subject: [*] MineSweeper Pro 1.0 New MineSweeper for Macintosh released.
