It patches the progress bars, floating windows, dialog box backgrounds, and menu glitches in third party applications that are not yet Appearance-savvy to help them conform to the Mac OS 8 Platinum interface. It also substitutes Espi Sans Bold 10 for Chicago 12, since many people prefer Espi as the system font. Version 1.2.2 fixes conflicts with Illustrator and Photoshop, improves accent color support for progress bars, and fixes a few minor problems. Version 1.2.3 fixes a serious startup crash introduced in version 1.2.2. Free for registered users of Aaron; $5 shareware for everyone else. -- Greg Landweber greg@math.harvard.edu [Archived as /info-mac/gui/aaron-light-123.hqx; 103K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 08:07:23 -0700 From: ktrueman@adrenaline.ca Subject: [*] Adrenaline Charts SE 1.0.1 Demo Adrenaline Charts SE allows you to easily create media-rich charts from your Excel or ClarisWorks data integrating images, 3D objects and QuickTime movies, then export them in popular Macintosh and Internet formats.

ClockWork is easy to use, offers powerful functionality and supports a wide range of Apple technologies. It stands out from the crowd by implementing unique features such as voice annotations, Text-to-Speech support, Auto-Power-On for PowerMacs, automatic calculation of international holidays and tight integration with the MacOS and Newton operating systems. ClockWork supports shared schedules allowing a team of MacOS users to share a category of events. The application implements automation using AppleScript (scriptable, recordable and attachable). A Reminder control panel displays alarms if ClockWork is not running and installs a global Finder menu showing today's to-dos and appointments. The program features calendar synchronization with PowerBook and Newton MessagePad computers. It synchronizes schedules with the built-in dates application of the NewtonOS directly from within the program. The new version improves the Newton synchronization and networking features and adds support for WorldScript and Balloon Help. ClockWork is Macintosh first and Macintosh only. Century Software has no plans to ship a version for operating systems of the evil empire. System requirements: System 7.0, PPC or 68K with 7MB free RAM and 10MB of hard disk space.

If an "index.html" file is already there, you will get an index-(random).html file. But it shouldn't be there in the first place, should it? You get the choice of how many columns there should be in your table. This is because it may be hard to change that from a HTML editor... What's it for? Guess you have a folder full of GIFs and you want to put them up on a Web page. Do you create an HTML table, then import them one by one? No more! Run HTML Indexer, then tweak the looks of your page with a HTML editor. HTML Indexer will include in the index any file that you drag on it. It's up to you to use it wisely. Coming Up: The ability to recognize if the file is an image file, and to exclude other files accordingly. If requested, I may also add the possibility of choosing where to save the resulting HTML code. Notice: HTML indexer is freeware, but it is not in the public domain. You are free to copy it, use it, distribute it, and improve on it, as long as it is not for profit. I would like to receive a copy of any modified version of it, and if it goes out in a CD, well, how about a free copy for me? I already received proposals to include other applets of mine in CDs, but I haven't received one yet! -- Duel S.p.A. Via G.
