The Masai say that the Awale was invented by Sindillo, the son of the first man, Maitoumbe, and was originally called geshe. The rules of the game are simple, but the strategies needed to win are quite challenging. With Awale, you'll play against the computer or another player to one of the 13 pre-defined rules from all over the world (from India to Barbados). The object of the game is to capture more stones than your opponent. To help you learn and play the game, a dialog box appears with comments on the actions performed. You can: define your own rules, undo the last move, see the history list of all played holes in the game (allowing you to restart a game at any point to find another strategy), and more. Awale also features: excellent graphics and sound effects, scoring, online help, game save, a powerful A.I. algorithm, user-definable Grand Master level, and an English and French version. African-style musics and sound effects are also included. A very realistic game, with solid wood and clattering stones. myriad@hol.fr [Archived as /info-mac/game/awale-22.hqx; 937K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 14:53:58 -0700 From: maxym@tinet.ie Subject: [*] Bubbles Bubbles is a simple logic game.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) give Web designers better control over presentation style, makes website management more efficient and leads to a more adaptable and accessible web. A Cascading Style Sheet can set fonts, colors, white space and other layout aspects of an HTML document in an efficient and flexible manner. CSS is a style sheet standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and is supported by web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. Cascade Light provides a dialog on the Mac to define any style setting that can be expressed in CSS. Cascade can even automatically apply a Cascading Style Sheet to an HTML document in such a way that the style sheet is emulated for older browsers that don't support CSS. Thus webmasters can benefit from Cascading Style Sheets now and still maintain the design for older browsers. Cascade Light works on both PPC and 68K Macs with System 7.0 or later and 2.9 Mb free RAM. More information about Cascade Light is available from: http://interaction.in-progress.com/cascade [ The application has been uploaded to the FTP site. It should go in the Internet/HTML folder, eventually with a copy in the Internet/WWW folder. Cascade Light can be included in the CD-ROM distribution (contact me for legal issues) ] [Archived as /info-mac/text/html/cascade-light-10.hqx; 1367K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 14:53:21 -0700 From: creality@earthlink.net Subject: [*] ClkTlk11.hqx Clock Talk is a Control Panel that enables your Macintosh to tell you what time it is.

This utility randomly generates an unlimited number of scenarios for WarCraft II by Blizzard Entertainment. Version 3.0 brings not only new features to an already versatile program, but it also is being released on the Mac platform for the first time. The latest version of CraftGen introduces Spy Critters functionality. This enhancement allows critters to be assigned to players as units. You can direct their movements and even load them on boats, but to all outward appearances they are regular critters. Your enemies may never suspect that the docile sheep munching grass next to the town hall is allowing you to keep an eye on their every move! Of course, CraftGen has retained all the functionality that has made it such a popular utility for WarCraft II, offering complete control over every aspect of the game, from the percentage of forest and land to the attack range of a peon. But beyond that, SpiderweBB has unlocked features hidden within WarCraft II. These features include Secret Mountain Passes, Reversed Physics (boats on land, ground troops on water), and black maps (if your peon stops unexpectedly, try chopping to see if there is a tree in his way). Users are given the freedom to control as much or as little of game creation as they choose. Values may either be specified exactly or selected for randomization. Pre-built maps may also be loaded into CraftGen and "Genitized" using the full power of CraftGen to enhance, customize, and randomize for a new twist to your favorite maps. Howard Abraham, co-designer of CraftGen and author of the 32-bit version, commented, "We are very excited to finally offer CraftGen to Mac users. Ever since we released CraftGen 1.0, Mac owners have been bombarding us with email. We were fortunate that one of the enthusiastic users of the PC version, Jesse Boley, is also a Mac programmer. He offered to do the conversion after he found out that our original programmer fell through."

Very useful and fun. iView is an extremely handy utility that keeps track of all your image, animation and movie files. Tired of searching thru disks and CD's trying to locate that special photo, qtvr or clip art you saw just last week? iView goes far beyond the Mac's simple scrapbook utility and allows you to view and organize many types of multimedia files on all your disks whether mounted or not. Some of the types currently supported include: JPEG, GIF, GIFf, TIFF, TIF, Single-layer Photoshop, Silicon Graphics and of course PICT files, QuickTime movies, QuickTimeVR, Fonts, GIF animations, clips, startup screens and if XTND is installed EPS. iView displays images as a list of file names, list of thumbnails, variable sized image, or as a slide show. Images can then be cataloged, launched with the application that created them, printed in custom reports, saved as a QuickTime=81 movie, copied to the clipboard, or dragged as clips/files/HTML formatted pathnames to the finder or any drag & drop savvy application. Catalogs can be searched and saved on your hard disk. A catalog can also display thumbnail images from volumes that may not be mounted. iView will let you view the images and prompt you to insert the volume to retrieve an image when needed. iView makes extensive use of drag and drop which makes it a pleasure to use with the finder, Photoshop and many other applications. In fact, everything about iView is designed to be simple, useful and intuitive. iView eliminates tedious repetitive work and increases your ability to get the job done. It makes image reuse and playback quick and easy. Now individuals as well as publishers, designers, pre-press operators and multi-media programmers will never have to search through stacks of Zip/SyQuest back-ups for missing files ever again.

The PowerBook 150 is a 33MHz 68030, 4Mb RAM, IDE hard drive, and I don't think that price is very good at all; I wouldn't pay any more than USD$400-500 for such a machine. The 190 was shipped in two models, a grayscale and a DSTN color model. Both of these are 68LC040-based (33/66MHz), 8Mb RAM minimum, and they were the last 68040 PowerBooks manufactured. The 190 is in fact a PowerBook 5300 with an '040 motherboard instead of the PPC of the 5300 series. The price is not good if it's a bare 8Mb 190 (grayscale) - I would not pay more than USD$600-650 for a grayscale 190, but it's ~reasonable~ for a 190cs, particularly if it has some extra RAM. However, the PowerPC upgrade for this model is very expensive (motherboard swap), and I suggest it is not the best buy you could get for the money. For under USD$1000, trawling Usenet you will be able to get a 520c or 540c, possibly even with PowerPC upgrade already fitted. Although it's older than the 190, the 500 series was a fantastically popular and reliable range of PowerBooks, very upgradable, and it features built-in video out, Ethernet and [optional] internal faxmodem, which the 190/5300 does not. The PowerPC upgrades for PB500 are readily available; the original Apple 100MHz card is obtainable "using connections" [;-)] and the Newer 167MHz card is still a current item. The only features which the 190 has which the 500 lacks (and you should consider these carefully) are built-in PCMCIA, and IDE hard disk interface. PCMCIA is an optional extra on the PB500, and the PB500 has a SCSI hard disk interface which will make sourcing a larger HDD problematic (2.5" SCSI drives are very thin on the ground these days, and expensive). If you have a little more money to spend (say, USD$1200) you should be able to get a PowerBook 1400cs/117 (discontinued model). This is a much better buy than either of the above, because it will almost certainly run Rhapsody, it has an infinitely better display (and 800x600 to boot), swappable media bay (floppy/CD-ROM/Zip module), and it's still practically a current model. Rhapsody may not be a major factor for you now, but it's a thing to consider. I use a PowerBook 1400cs/133 as my primary machine and I couldn't love it more; it has a superb keyboard, beautiful display, and it's quite fast enough for everything I need. -- Lewin A.R.W.

The only sure-fire way I know of would be to copy the text into a text editor that allows search-replace and replace every ">" with "". If you're using Eudora and Frontier, you can put the following script in your Eudora shared menu: s = Eudora.getSelectedText (); t = string.replaceAll ( s, ">", ""); Eudora.replaceSelectedText (t); This is something of a brute force solution, as it will strip _every_ ">" from the selected text, but there you have it.

The software is available from your local apple software dealer. The name is Apple LocalTalk Bridge. It is installed on a machine that will act as a conduit. The machine is both hooked into the ethernet and localtalk networks. Once installed, you can share files between the two networks. I have been using the bridge for a year now with out a problem.

Lime is reasonably priced, and does what you want, but I haven't used it so I don't know how stable it is. I've used BarFly a lot; but it may do less than you need, because it's aimed at supporting single melodic lines and knows nothing about MIDI. It's based on the ABC notation system; you input the music in ASCII and the program sanity-checks it and lets you listen to it or print it. The print quality is no better than okay, and there are some irritating things either ABC in general or BarFly in particular can't do at all (trills for ABC, sensible tails and beams on gracenotes for BarFly) but the input and editing process is far easier than graphical manipulation. There are other ABC packages, for Macs, Microsoft & Unix, that do support MIDI. The ABC homepage is reachable through http://www.celtic.stanford.edu/tunes.html. BarFly's author is very helpful. Here's an example of what you'd be getting into; a Sacred Harp hymn in the ABC notation. Successive lines contain an index number, title, time signature, key/mode, and the notes. It's even sight-readable as is for simple tunes like this. The largest thing I've done with ABC is a four-page piece of fairly virtuosic flute music, and it worked OK for that.

For choral scores, it won't be much fun. I've tried. Even a bog-standard eighteenth century four-part chorale is a real pain.

I want to switch the CapsLock and Control keys around. >(been spending way too much time on a Sparc ;) Here's how to do this using ResEdit under 7.6.1. Other Systems are proabbly similar, but YMMV. 1. Duplicate the System file by option-dragging it out of hte System Folder. 2. Open the new duplicate with ResEdit. 3. Open the 'KCHR' resources. These are your existing keyboard layouts. 4. Select the one you want to modify [I modified ID 0, "U.S."], then select "Copy". 5. Select "Paste"; choose "Unique ID" in the dialog that will come up. [This gave me a KCHR ID=128]. 6. Select that new resource; Get Info [cmd-I]. 7. Change the name to something that will remind you of your change [I used "U.S. w/ swapped cntl - capslock"]. 8. Double-click your new KCHR. A somewhat intimidating dialog will appear. Over on the right in this dialog, you'll see a list of tables. Hold down a modifier key on your keyboard [cntl, opt, shift, cmd, capslock] and note that the table changes. 9. Make note of which table is used when you hold the Control key; also note whcih one is used when you select Caps Lock. 10. Hold down the Control key and click on the table that you noted for the Caps Lock key. You'll get asked if you want to do this. You do. 11. Repeat step 11 for the Caps Lock Key. Hold it down and click on the table that you noted for the Control key. Again, confirm that you want to do this. 12. Quit ResEdit, saving changes. Now, if you replace your current System file with this modified one, you'll have a new keyboard layout in your Keyboard control panel. When you select this layout, the behavior of the Caps Lock and Control keys will be swapped. Note, however, that this will have no effect on the hardware behavior of the keys. The Caps Lock key will still lock when you press it, though it will have the effect that the Control key used to have. Similarly, the Control key will not lock, though if you hold it down, you'll get Caps Lock behavior. chazl - 11.20.1997 - chaz@visi.com -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
