MY STYLE OF TEXTURES Like collections #1 & 2, these were designed for real-world use. I have been seeing a lot of texture packages on the net recently that burn my eye-balls off if viewed for more than 5 minutes. Worse, some others' collections are so "busy" that I get confused where my icons are on the screen. So, these are "graceful", and more relaxing to look at than most. There are some exceptions though... HOW TO MAKE IT WORK These all require the shareware program TEXTURE INSTALLER 2.1 to work. You can download it from most of the big sites like Info-mac and such. It is in a suite of programs called DESKTOP TEXTURES SUITE. A sample URL to try is: http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/gui/desktop-textures-suite-21.h= qx COST: A measly $5.

Who can forget his galant and wonderful remark when the crowd insulted his to be genius girlfriend : "Hey, don't be mean. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!" The introduction to the movie spoke of his oriental background and capacity to go in many directions at the same time (he was a neural surgeon, rockstar and racecar driver and perhaps more that I can't remember). Well, if you pay the $15 dollar shareware fee, you will find out how you too can do like Bukaroo did. You will need instructions from me to use my program and instructions are an ongoing pruning process like people do with those Bonzai trees. For example, you will be able to use maps put in newton press books. You will learn how to make coordinate systems from Street Atlas USA 3.0 and 4.0 and set them in most recent street map versions from lycos or mapquest. Coordinate systems? Aren't they for people who do general relativity and aspire to go about in the 8th dimension? Hey, your imagination alone limits your usefulness and "Don't be mean...". Coordinate systems associate latlons with points on the map pictures, it doesn't take a differential geometer or a Ph.D. in theoretical physics to use these things (only my instructions). In the words of Mr. John Bigbootee, "Laugha while you can monkey boy!" And for $5 more, you will also get automated route parsers that will tell your newton not only in what directions you will get where Bukaroo might have wanted to go, but also predict when you will achieve the milestone of getting there. Otherwise, I will merely send instructions on how to build files for and how to get the newton program slurpee. With slurpee and macpicttonewton alone, you will be able to fill those empty menus you see on the current download. Newton press is dynomite, don't miss it! Bonzai is going to have more advanced versions. For example, my menus of routes, maps, and places to go are getting so long that I have started to put in search engines to find things on the menus. When you get on Bukaroo's winning team, you too will be able to aim your car in time. If you don't want to do this, at least rent the video. ;-) [Archived as /info-mac/nwt/bonzai.hqx; 51K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 11:06:09 -0700 From: jessbowers@filmmaker.com Subject: [*] DivvyUP v1.2.3 DivvyUP: Course Scheduling Software -------------------------- Version 1.2.3 2 Oct 1997 $25 Shareware DivvyUP is software that greatly eases the pain of scheduling classes for departments and schools.

When you drag a window's title bar and Solid Dragging is active, the whole window image is moved instead of a dull-looking window outline. If the Update Windows option is also active, all windows are updated on the fly without waiting for you to release the mouse. Not as fast as the BeOS, but definitely better than the standard MacOS behavior! DragAnyWindow also allows you to easily move any kind of window, including dialogs, alerts, standard "Open" and "Save" dialogs, game windows and other non-movable windows. It lets you bring back to the desktop any window that has gone out of sight, or center the front window on the main screen with a single keystroke. These options are very useful for old applications designed for the 9" screen (which often use fixed windows) and for moving modal dialogs and windows behind them. New in version 4.2.1: - Fixed a minor problem that occurred when moving the mouse to the menu bar while dragging windows.

All Right Reserved. LabelTool is Shareware. If you decide to use it, you must register by payng $10 for each copy. You can use the accompanying Register program to make your payment. The Register program lets you pay with non-US currencies, credit cards, checks, virtual cash, etc. It also allows you to send your payment via fax or email. LabelTool let you apply labels to files or folders with just one click in a window or dropping the files directly on the window. What it requires: 60020 processor or better, including all PowerPC machines. System 7.5.5 or higher. I also recommend that you use the TSM Fix system extension with LabelTool, since it fixes a system level bug which can make LabelTool ignore some mouse clicks. TSM Fix comes bundled with LabelTool, but you can find the most recent version on an Info-Mac mirror. =46eatures: Holding down Shift key at boot-time disable LabelTool from starting. Command-L or the last menu item in the Label menu lets you to hide or show the LabelTool window. Drop any files or folders on the labels in the LabelTool's window to apply the label or click on the label in the LabelTool's window to set the label on the selected files/folders. Known Incompatibilities: WindowShade may not collapse LabelTool's window. LabelTool uses a JGNE filter which looks at mouse clicks and sometimes consumes them before WindowShade even knows they exist! Inline++TSM (an inline input method for Japanese system software) must be set to be inactive for LabelTool, otherwise LabelTool will not start up.

Spike solves the stutter and glitch playback problems of CD-ROM and Web-based QuickTime files. Given a batch of QuickTime movies, Spike determines which among them will provide optimal playability from a range of deployment platforms and media. Offering many of the features of Apple's long-discontinued MovieAnalyzer, Spike is compatible with QuickTime 2.5 and beyond. Current QuickTime compression software reports the average data rate of files; many people mistakenly use this figure to make decisions about the suitability of compressed video for their playback targets. A QuickTime movie can have a perfectly acceptable average data rate while still containing data spikes that will seriously disrupt playback on any machine. Spike identifies these problems and offers a suite of options for controlling their detection. Other features include detailed data-rate graphs, "Spike Alerts" and reports in frames-per-second and SMPTE, several preview options, and batch processing.

Dwight Early doesn't say what system he is running, but what I have found is that the system(s) 7.5.x seem to have an unusual number of problems with different applications. Since I upgraded to System 8, however, I have had no system bombs or freezes (wow!). Not that it doesn't have its own annoying characteristics -- but it is extremely stable. His system is a PPC, so I definitely recommend upgrading... Susan Luckel Dir.

I'm the owner of a Performa 580 and using it to produce music via MIDI and connected synthesizers. I'd like to digitize the music with the Mac using an audiocard but there seems to be no card for the 580's PDS-Slot. I've heard of PDS->NuBus converters but I'm not sure if they'll work with my 580. Maybe someone has an idea if this works and which cards will fit in the Performa-580 since it's pretty small ? Please help !! thanks a lot ..

An external APS 730 MB HD with miscellaneous applications and data, from an earlier Mac, is connected, but not used for start-up. I now have my OS8 CD ROM to install, but am warned that the APS HD driver software must be updated from its present v.4.0 to the current v. 4.10. I have this new driver software ready to be installed, and again am warned that the HD must be formatted and re-initialised, before loading back all the backed up contents. Guidance, please! Which HD must be re-initialised? Where do I install the latest APS drive software? What, in fact, is the step by step procedure, to ensure that I can continue to recognise the APS HD, after the new OS8 is installed? I have no need ever to use the APS as a start-up disk, only to access it. Any help appreciated.
