Unlike the System 7 scheme that comes with Kaleidoscope, this scheme uses the regular Kaleidoscope WDEF instead of the System 7 WDEF. The advantages of this approach are that windows are now dragable from all sides and, unlike the System 7 scheme that currently comes with Kaleidoscope, this System 7 scheme works with Mac OS 8!

Digital Diary allows fingertip access to the current status of any projects, allowing you to see all activities on all projects on any day you choose. On a complex project, there could be a dozen or more separate issues at the same time, each of which has its own distinct status and decision process. Wouldn't it be great to be able to pull up the history and present status of each of these at any time? Digital Diary organizes note entries into project and day files so that current reports of all activities on any given day or project can be instantly viewed. Projects are organized under user-defined categories in a hierarchical pop-up menu. Projects can be easily transferred between categories, making it ideal for use as a convenient project status indicator. Entries are identified with a header containing the type of activity, project name, category, note number, and date and time of entry. 'To do list' entries will pop up to remind you of unattended items at a chosen future date. Versatile report generation can gather, for example, all notes of a given activity type or project status. Digital Diary=81 replaces: To do lists, diaries, reminder notes, day files, telephone notes and all sorts of other memory joggers. And it's fun to use!

I've made three AppleScripts that require no real effort and are stunningly simple to create. Basically, they are used to quit the Finder ( which frees up RAM and alleviates "memory leaks" ) without force-quitting or even restarting in the case of meory leakage. Here are the scripts: -Quit Finder: Quits the Finder -Reload Finder: Reloads the Finder ( the only way I know how to run this w/o the Finder is to attach it to a Eudora message and double-click. This trick probably works w/ E-mailer as well. ) -Quit / Reload Finder: Quits and immediately reloads the Finder.

Anybody can now make their own schemes, but unfortunately, not all scheme designers are careful enough to make sure their schemes are bug free. SchemeChecker can help you make bug free color schemes. It checks your schemes for errors like: - missing "System Heap" and "Purgeable" bits - missing resources - resources not needed Version 1.0 of SchemeChecker is based on the resource set from Kaleidoscope 1.7.1. SchemeChecker is primarily a utility for scheme designers, but if you are experiencing strange, unexplained problems with your mac: freezes, crashes etc., and you have Kaleidoscope installed, running SchemeChecker on your favorite schemes may help you figure out what is causing the problems.

Well folks, apparently I wasn't generous enough the first time around. Admittedly, the 10 desktop patterns that I included in release 1.0 of TableCloths is insignificant by current standards. I also admit that I didn't make things terribly easy on those valiant souls who decided to register their copies of TableCloths 1.0. In order to make it up to you, I present TableCloths 2.0!!! All registered users of TableCloths 1.0 remain registered for release 2.0, and for you "rookies" out there, I've made the registration of this release INSULTINGLY SIMPLE... TableCloths has always been the only collection of authentic Scottish-tartan desktop patterns. I painstakingly hand-rendered each one from a catalog of tartans, and each is as accurate as can be (down to within a stich or two). TableCloths 2.0 boasts a long list of tartan desktop patterns (I warn you, some more "appealing" than others), and contains a number of "musical instrument" patterns (which are also very difficult to come by), includes support for black-and-white Macs, as well as a number of patterns I rendered just for fun. While the version you have downloaded contains several desktop patterns, it is only a demo-release, and only scratches the surface!!! Registration ($15 - by cash or money order only - Sorry!!!) entitles you to the full-release - over 30 ADDITIONAL patterns - which will be e-mail'd (or snail-mail'd by request) to you upon receipt of payment. the demo-release includes: Inter-blocks: this one looks like popular children's building blocks Silver Pyramid: space-age wall tiles BeBack: a purple-colored background resembling the one (and only) desktop pattern under the BeOS, and looks great with Greg Landweber's BeView extension; it also matches the background of Apple's Launcher 7.5.5 MacLean: (pronounced mac-lane) not a burger, but an authentic reproduction of the tartan worn by the Scottish clan of the same name Black Watch: quite possibly the most widely-recognized tartan Davidson: my favorite tartan of all (and, um, the one worn by my family...) MacDonald: gain some insight into Ronald's lineage MacNab: the tartan with the autumn-feel Scott & Menzies: black-and-white tartans, for you color-challenged Mac-users Clarinet: guess... Trumpet: guess again... Piano: guess yet again...

It makes the target volume an EXACT copy of the original volume. Of course the target volume is examined so that only files/folders that have changed is copied. You should be able to use VolumeSync on any volumes that you can access directly from the Finder. New in this version is a few bug fixes and minor new features.
