Matt will be helping to relieve the archiving backlog we are all enjoying. Thanks, Matt for all your help! On an equally joyous note, U.S.West has FINALLY installed my ISDN line and I am able to take on a bit of that backlog myself.--Mike O'Bryan] Dear Archivist, The applescript "Folder Security" was just recently uploaded to you. If you are going to place it in your archives, please do not. If it has been placed, please remove it. I have two reasons for this request: 1.) An equivalent applescript already exists in your archives which I was not initially aware of. 2.) I have recently discovered that some of the code used to write the included OSAX is copyrighted by another party and I have not received permission to include it with my own file. For these reasons, please disregard the upload of Folder Security.

In the spirit of do-it-yourself, I picked up my classical guitar and created an audio cassette of several public domain classical melodies that I could use for whatever video or multimedia projects I happen to be working on. In the spirit of sharing, I'm making these melodies available for anyone else to use in their video or multimedia projects. This SimpleCard stack is a sampler of the melodies on the audio cassette titled, "Classical Guitar Melodies 1." I'm making this freeware cassette available for $6 (including postage within the United States) to anyone who might have an interest in it. (Canada, $8. Airmail overseas, $10.) If you'd like these melodies in digital format on an Iomega Zip disk (AIFF format), kindly send a Mac formatted Zip disk along with the above requested fee.

And with over 1,000 recipes included in the Computer Cuisine database, you already have an amazing amount of recipes at your fingertips! Have you ever wanted to find a particular recipe, but didn't want to sift through pages and pages from your favorite cookbook? Have you ever wanted to search all your recipes for a certain ingredient? Have you ever wanted to give a particular recipe to a friend, without having to go through the hassle of jotting down the thing word for word? Now you can. And Computer Cuisine is the tool that will make it happen. Computer Cuisine is a Macintosh file for use with FileMaker Pro, by Claris Corporation. This template will allow you to conveniently view, print, sort, file, organize and save your cooking recipes. It's features include a well designed layout that makes adding, viewing, sorting, finding and printing a snap. In addition to the simple layout, Computer Cuisine allows you to add an infinite number of your own recipes to the existing ones. This will allow your recipe database to grow and grow! Icons are added to the top of the layout for added convenience. For example, you can sort all of your recipes with one click of your mouse. Computer Cuisine will then alphabetically sort your recipes alphabetically by the recipe's name. This creates an "index-like" listing much like you may find in the back of any normal cookbook you may own. And with the extensive search capabilities already built into the program, you will now be able to search through all of the entered recipes with the touch of a button!

The lights flash in the background while you continue to work; it's not just a screen-saver! The "bulbs" include standard Christmas tree lights, Valentine's Day hearts, Thanksgiving turkeys, chili peppers, stockings, holly, snowmen, happy faces, and more - and you can create your own bulbs using ResEdit or a similar program. Is it useful? Well... okay, no. Is it wonderful fun? Absolutely! For even more seasonal joy, Holiday Lights includes cheery background music and a built-in festive screen saver to put you in the holiday spirit. It's a multimedia extravaganza! Holiday Lights is an application, not an extension, so it won't cause extension conflicts.

Missions 2.0 Hornet STRIKE! Missions version 2.0 by Front and D. Allen Smith Copyright 1996 Front, D. Allen Smith, and STRIKE! Software. Hornet STRIKE! Missions 2.0 is a full 40 mission set for the Macintosh F/A-18 Hornet 2.0 or 2.0.1 flight simulator*. The STRIKE! Missions include 28 new Kuwaiti theater missions, 6 new Arizona theater training missions and 6 new Hawaiian theater training missions. In addition, your allies are more aggressive and you will encounter new and more devious foes. Required: F/A-18 Hornet 2.0/2.0.1 and a Mac to run it on (68030 or better). Are you familiar with the wingman in Hornet that circles his base,ignoring the enemy while you get shot down? And when he does get involved, he only pokes one Sidewinder at the Flankers? The wingman who says "Good shot" to you when you shoot down an enemy fighter 40 nautical miles away from him? WELL, HE JUST GOT SHIPPED OUT! Introducing your NEW wingman, who ingresses with you straight into the heart of Iraq, laughs in the jaws of death, spits in the face of danger, takes four AMRAAM's and two Sidewinders with him on every mission, fires Mavericks at air defenses, flies low, flies high, flies fast, flies slow, uses afterburner, makes multiple bombing passes on targets, uses Durandals, stays on your wing, and calls "Fox Four!" when you need it. He's called Hornet Two, and he's just brought the rest of his squadron into the fray... In just some of the new STRIKE! Kuwait missions, you will: Protect three B-52 bombers at high altitude in "Buff Protection," help three A-10 Warthogs destroy the runways of an enemy air base with multiple Durandal attacks in "Hog Handiwork," search for two SU-27 Flankers somewhere in Iraq in "Flanker Fixit," lead a flight of seven Hornets off the Carrier against a massive pumping station near Basrah in "Listen to Reason," overfly the fleeing Iraqi tanks in "Basrah Escape," and inspired by recent events in September, 1996 fly "Illuminating Rita" in support of Air Force F-16's in the "No-Fly" zone. The new training missions make you WORK for your qualifications. Land a damaged Hornet on a carrier at night in "Carrier Night Quals," practice advanced high-speed/low-level bombing runs with Hornets Two and Three on Kahoolawe in "Low Leveler," and defend the honor of your Air Wing, with Hornet Two, against two Air Force F-16's following strict rules of engagement.

Over 300 to 400% faster than any previous version, the new version supports all the translation modes of the earlier versions. In addition, it has enhanced AppleScript support, the ability to receive drops of folders as well as files, a menu command to select a folder for conversion, and also a new preference - the notification sound - that allows the user to record a sound that can be played when all translations have finished. NetStripper v4.0 supports the DOS/Unix to Mac, Mac to DOS, Mac to Unix and CR Strip modes. As usual the carriage return strip can either remove single carriage returns while converting double carriage returns to singles, or can remove single carriage returns while leaving double carriage returns in place. NetStripper v4.0 is a FAT binary, which means it runs at optimal speeds on all MacOS computers, from Apple's Macintosh SE to the latest Power Computing and similar clones. It has been tested with System software from System 7.0 to 7.5.5 and works without problems on all versions, although for versions earlier than System 7.5 you will need to install Apple's Thread Manager extension (included in the package).

If you have ever looked with jealousy to those with Nintendo and Sega machines with their excellent combat-style games, then this is the game for you! Sprite Fight 2002 is the closest thing to a Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter for the Macintosh that you will find. All game characters are digitally photographed actors at 128x128 pixels! Graphics are full-screen! And unlike other popular games which hide their graphics and sounds by compiling or compressing them, Sprite Fight 2002 makes it easy for anybody with a Mac drawing program and a copy of Apple's ResEdit to make their own game characters, as the character files are comprised of totally editable sound and graphic resources! New to Sprite Fight 2002 is the availability of several fatalities and secret codes for extra features such as background animation, foreground animation, and special character abilities!

You can use it to add echo and reverb-like effects to your instruments for recordings or during a performance. You can even use it with your favorite MIDI sequencer. The basic functionality of a delay is to record a sound and play it back a short time later. If the time is very short (like 50 milliseconds), it can sound similar to a slap-back reverb (kind of like talking into a fan). If it's longer (like 1/2 a second) it can produce a rhythmic effect that changes the whole feel of whatever your playing. Requirements: * System 7 * Sound Manager 3.1 * Full duplex sound hardware (the ability to record and playback at the same time). * Microphone or musical instrument I give permission for my program to be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.

It can be used for 3D modelling, concept design, quick prototyping, mock-ups, scale models, architectural scale models, production preparation, and as a general purpose unfolding program. Touch-3D can be used for creating scale models. Draw the model in Touch-3D, or in an external program. Unfold the model and print it on any standard 2D printer or plotter. Cut out the pieces and fold the model into a physical 3D model! Unfolding. The unfolding function provides a unique ability to interact between the 3D model and the unfolded pattern. Changes made in the 3D model can instantly be seen in the Unfold view. Touch-3D also provides an absolute control over the order in which models are being unfolded. This is very important because even a cube can be unfolded in many different ways. Modelling. The 3D modelling tools provide powerful free form sculpting abilities. Any number of vertex point can be moved in any direction, at any time. Four different modelling modes provides instant access to individual vertexes, mesh points, polygons as elements, and entire groups. Models can also be deformed by means of alignment rulers, in 2D or 3D. Any number of vertexes can be associated to a ruler at any time. Any number of rulers can be used for deforming a model individually in more than one direction. A knife tool is used for increasing the number of polygons in a model. Any number of polygons can be cut at any time, and from any view, including the Unfold view. You can start modelling at a fairly rough level and gradually increase the number of polygons to smooth the model, pretty much in the way a sculptor work. Touch-3D on the WEB. Take a look at the Touch-3D WEB page at: http://www.algonet.se/~ludesign You will find several practical examples of use for Touch-3D.

The only way to keep it I am glad that I have (finally) heard of someone with the same problem. About 1 or 2 years ago I came home to find my Mac IIci on. I was sure that I had powered it down after I last used it but I didn't remember, so I powered it back down. Later found it powered up again and (once again) powered it down (thinking I must have forgotten again). Next I was sleeping in the middle of the night and heard a familiar "Bong". It was alive :-) ... More and more often it just started up on its own, and the only way to keep it off was to turn the power off. > >turned off is pulling off the powercord from the power supply.

My latest problem is that the MoDem (serial) port died on me. I replaced the battery hoping (very little hope I might add) that changing the battery might help the port problem and the automatic startup problem. No such luck.

I'm using a PowerPC 8500 Mac, System 7.5.5, OpenTransport 1.1.1; Visual FoxPro (VFP) 3.0 for Mac; ODBC PPC Mac driver from Visigenic; Oracle 7.2.3.0.0 (with corresponding SQL*NET). Problem: In FoxPro you can have fields of type "Memo" and "General" which map to Oracle RDBMS field types "long" and "long raw" respectively. The ODBC interface seems to work OK for smaller sets of data. However, when I save large ( > 40Kbytes) sets of information from FoxPro into the fields in Oracle via ODBC, I get no error on the save, but when I try to read the information back in via ODBC and look at it, I get errors. For Memo fields, I don't get all the data back. For the General fields, I save the data as an OLE link, and when I try to get it back and try to look at the data, I get an "OLE error code 0x8000401C2: Contents of the OLESTREAM not in correct format". I contacted MicroSoft about the OLE error, and their FoxPro people say it works OK with MicroSoft's SQL Server, so it must be the ODBC driver. I contacted Visigenic and they say their driver tests OK, so it must be the FoxPro package. Sigh. Question(s): Has anyone run across this problem before? Any suggestions on solutions? What is fixed is the use of Visual FoxPro and Oracle 7, the method of client-server connection is open.

This is a light-weight address book program that was fairly simple and VERY fast. The wonderful feature of the product was that you could hit the CMD key twice and pop up the search dialog. It would even pop if you had another dialog box open... Really nice. Well, this product continues to work fine under System 7.5.5 with one exception, it breaks when Open Transport is installed. It works fine if the networking is set to MacTCP, but when you select Open Transport, about five minutes after restarting, the system crashes or hangs. I can only figure out that Souvenir is checking for it's serial number on the network or something of the kind and that fails. Anyway, my question is this: Does anyone know the whereabouts of the folks that wrote this package? Is an update available anywhere? What about a replacement?
