The player controls an individual ship as in traditional space-shooters, but also has the ability to construct and direct additional ships. It's a little like a cross between Blizzard's WarCraft and Accolade's StarControl. Ares has head-to-head network play over LocalTalk or over the internet. Ares also has a unique dynamic scaling engine, which smoothly changes from long-range tactical symbols to large colorful sprites for combat -- you have to see it to believe it.

Basically, *Cohiba allows you to log into a Netware Directory Services (NDS) tree during bootup. "What's so great about that?" you may ask. Well, with *Cohiba installed you will be able to put aliases of items found on NetWare fileservers inside your Startup Items folder and have them resolved for you automatically every time you boot your Mac up! In fact, *Cohiba has been found to be useful in the following sorts of situations: 1. You (or a client) would like to have NetWare behave more like the way AppleShare can (i.e., log into a server automatically during bootup). 2. You have a kiosk Macintosh which should log into a NetWare fileserver without human intervention. 3. A public access lab Macintosh should log into a NetWare fileserver automatically as part of your administrative schema. *Cohiba requires that you have the Novell Client for the Macintosh (version 5.1 or greater) already installed on your Macintosh. (The NW Client Installer is avaiable free from Novell.) *Cohiba's Mac OS requirements are the same as the NetWare Client for the Macintosh's. *Cohiba must load after the MacIPX control panel (if you do not change *Cohiba's name, this will happen automatically). *Cohiba is nothing-says-thank-you-better-than-beer-ware. If you find *Cohiba useful, and you would like to let me know in a tangible way, please send me some of your favorite local, microbrewed beer. It should be sent to: Richard K.

Here's the result - refrigerator verse comes to the Macintosh. Cubes allows uses the metaphor of fridge magnets to allow the user to create poetry. Clicking on the ice maker delivers a random sprinkling of words. Drag the words around to make poetry. If you don't need/want a word, drag it off the screen. Many words (verbs and prepositions, mostly) can be changed to reflect different tenses/genders/numbers. Option-click on a word to toggle through the choices. Fun, in a oracular sort of way... Cubes allows you to save your poems, to open poem files, and to play back an entire folder of poems. It is a FAT application. It should work on both PPCs and older Macintoshes, as long as they have a 640x480 (or larger) monitor. This is version 1.1 -- August 20, 1997 -- first general release.

Deskpop is a Control Strip module which lists all volumes, folders and files currently on the Mac's desktop. This is especially useful for the (hopefully short) time the desktop is cluttered. Folders are displayed with the underline style. Volumes (a.k.a. Disks) are displayed with the bold bold+underline style. The Trash is displayed with the bold style. Selecting an item from the Deskpop menu will open it. Holding down the Control+Option keys will reveal it in the Finder. Holding down the Control+Shift keys will move the selected item to the Trash. If the selected item is a volume, Control+Shift+selecting it will not affect it at all. Requirements Requires Mac OS 7.1 or better, and scriptable Finder (which is integrated into Mac OS 7.5 and better, I believe). For more information, please read the Read Me file enclosed.

It isn't much, but I think it's a worthwhile one. All this basically does is dumps the Netscape Cache =9F file, which is filled with virtually useless items from Netscape. It takes you from your hard drive root directory all the way to the Cache =9F, then puts it in the trash and deletes it. I set up the memory to 5,000 Kb-at the time my cache file was 2.3 MB-but if you want to change this to suit your needs, go into "Get Info" under the "File" menu, and change the Suggested Size and the Minimum Size.

It may or may not work on previous or future versions. It works by removing the 'lner' resources from the Location Manager's Control Panel, Extension, and Control Strip Module. These resources regulate the software to run only on certain machines. To use, simply run a normal installation of Apple's Location Manager. After restarting with extensions off, run this patch and follow the dialog boxes to apply the hack. Restart again. That's it! Use of this patcher is completely at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for what may result from using this patch or running the Location Manager on machines it was not designed for. I'm fairly certain that Apple and the author of ResCompare feel the same. -Kevin [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/location-manager-desktop.hqx; 37K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Aug 1997 08:48:02 -0700 From: harald.rauser@uni-tuebingen.de Subject: [*] Lord Of The LAN V.1.0b1 - a Lab/LAN Management database Lord Of The LAN V.1.0b1 - Lab Management database Lord Of The LAN is a set of relational FileMaker Pro database templates that are useful in in computer lab for administration purposes.

AOL 2.7 Tools includes AutoOpen, Big Board, and Recent Places. These tools have been tested extensively and are very stable, though some of the features may not work as expected in the future as America Online modifies and expands its system. To install these tools, place them in the "Online Tools" folder that is located directly inside your "America Online 2.7" folder. If the America Online application is running, it will need to be relaunched in order for you to use the tools. These tools work only with versions 2.5.1 through 2.7 of the AOL software. They do not work with AOL 3.0 or later. The tools: When AutoOpen is installed and set up, you are automatically taken to a preset keyword each time you log onto the service. To set up your AutoOpen keyword, select "Preferences" from the "Members" menu and choose "AutoOpen" from the preferences selection. Big Board is a tool from the old, wonderful days of eWorld. In essence, Big Board is the predecessor of AOL's "Buddy List" service. When Big Board is installed, you can keep track of other AOL users that are logged onto the service. To use Big Board, select the "Big Board" menu item from the "Members" menu. The Big Board interface is self-explanatory. At the time of this writing, Big Board seems to work only if the Big Board window is open. Also, Big Board's features are slowly being phased one by one as AOL adds different functions to the service Recent Places adds a new "Places" menu to the AOL menu bar. As you navigate through the service, Recent Places keeps a log of everywhere you go, and if at any time you want to go back to a specific area, you can find the area's name in the "Recent Places" submenu of the Places menu. Recent Places also has a customizable menu, in which you can add your favorite areas to an easy to access submenu. Unfortunately, Recent Places is rumored to have been originally brought over to AOL from eWorld, and its menu customization feature doesn't work very well with the AOL software. An Important Note: There is no support for these tools, not from me and not from America Online (you could try but you would probably be asked not to use "unauthorized software"). I've found these useful tools to be very stable and used them the entire length of time I was an AOL member, but I'm not in a position to support them. If you use these tools you're on your own! That said, I hope you get as good a use out of these tools as I have. Enjoy!
