FAT VERSION - CONTAINS BOTH 680x0 AND NATIVE POWERPC CODE * The Coffee Timer is a very simple countdown timer with a loud alarm and a couple of other useful options. * For those of you who need more flexibility in their timer, the Coffee Timer allows a KeyQuencer macro to be run when the timer times out. This lets you instruct your Mac to do pretty much anything at alarm time. The Coffee Timer works with KeyQuencer 1.2.x, KeyQuencer Lite 2.0, and KeyQuencer 2.0. * Quite obviously, the Coffee Timer is not limited to your daily coffee break. You can use it to remind yourself of anything that must happen in the near future... filling the bath tub? taking a short sleep? delaying a fax? Just launch the Coffee Timer and let it help your memory and your watch. * You may even put an alias to Coffee Timer in your Startup Items folder to prevent yourself from sitting in front of your Mac for long periods of time. All you have to do is take a break every time the timer starts bugging you... New in version 1.0.2: - Added an option to automatically switch to background upon launch. This is $10 shareware.

The Installer creates a folder named "New Documents" in your system folder, and any files in that folder will appear on that hierarchical menu. These files should be various new documents for your various applications. When you select one of those file names, New Menu copies that file into your Finder's window (whereever the Finders New Folder would have created the folder). It's a copy, so you can open and modify it without changing your "blank" document in the "New Documents" folder. Also the System Beep at startup is when the INIT loads and if any one can disable this I will make them the co author. New Menu requires system 7 (although it's only been tested on 7.5.5).

Tenor! v1.51 provides chord lookup for Tenor Banjo and Tenor Guitar in CGDA and GDAE tuning. There are 17 chord types in the library, each of which are supported with 3 or 4 different fingerings each, depending upon the chord. To plot a chord diagram, select the root of the chord from the Root menu, and the type of the chord from the Type menu. Then, diagram it with the Form 0,1,2,3 buttons from the tool bar. Form 0 chords are available for Major, Minor, and Dominant 7th chord forms and are generally the open or common forms of the chord. Form 1 chords generally have the root on the 4th string. Form 2 chords generally have the root on the 3th string, and Form 3 chords generally have the root on the 2nd string. The Neck Window view provides additional chord lookup functions. This window allows the browsing of chord fingerings over the neck and has a Name-that-Chord function which recognizes 40 different chords in standard and non-standard tunings. These user-created chord voicings may then be diagramed in the chord editor window. This function requires either a 68k-based Macintosh with System 7.1 or higher and a 68020, 68030, 68040, or a Power Macintosh with System 7.5 or higher. A color monitor with at least 400 lines is highly recommended. QuickTime with the QuickTime Musical Instruments extension is required for sound output.

The inflection of words is one of the most difficult parts of learning many foreign languages since there are numerous inflection patterns. "Verbs&Nouns" is an application that helps you to learn these patterns and refresh your knowledge about the rules for the inflection of verbs and nouns in a foreign language. The program has many other useful features to help you to learn or research a foreign language. The program lets you create a database of verbs or nouns in a foreign language. You can easily construct the inflection patterns (rules) for words that are regular. You can include other information about each word, such as a translation, grammar characteristics, comments, etc. in a convenient form. Comments are useful for storing examples of the use of the word, or for recording other information. The facility for merging databases makes it easy to share comments with other users. The program has an exercise window. It automatically generates exercises to allow you to practise inflection or translation. You can collect the words that you have already learned and let the program generate exercises just for this group of words. You can also identify many other groups of words (and collect them in classes) to use them in exercises or for browsing. The program has asynchronous sound support to associate the sound samples with words. Examination support is built into the program. This includes reports for students and reports for the teacher on the performance of students.

FAT VERSION - CONTAINS BOTH 680x0 AND NATIVE POWERPC CODE * Verifile is a small freeware utility that calculates a checksum and a CRC32 on both the data and resource forks of any file that's dropped on it. This is useful if you want to compare two files that are not on the same machine without having to copy them over a network or modem connection. If the hexadecimal numbers displayed by Verifile match, chances are that the two files are equal; Verifile automatically compares these numbers for the last two files that were checked and tells you if they match or not. * Verifile also displays the elapsed time to measure processor and disk performance. The PowerPC code runs a lot faster than the 68K code if the file to verify is on a RAM disk, while the speed improvement is smaller on slower media.
