It's a variation on the Apple Platinum theme, inspired by details on products and Ric Zito's colorscheme. A lot of products have details that are a kind of dimples, I call those dimples DollyDots... Actually The Dollydots were a dutch girl band in the eighties, but I liked their name and thought it was an appropriate name for dimples in a product (there is no dutch word for those kind of dimples in a product...). The DollyDots Archive consists of two versions of the color scheme, a read me document, a desktop pattern and a pattern for Window Monkey. The two versions are almost identical, the m-version includes patterns for the menubar. This is done so, because the patterned menus are slow on some macs and because I'm not sure I like the patterned menubar... Best is to install it and to look for yourself!!!

FontBook helps you to keep track of your installed fonts, especially symbol or dingbats fonts. FontBook let's you print reference cards for your most-used fonts. On these reference cards you can find out all the different key combinations. It contains a table with entries for all characters: e.g. what key is printed when you press shift-alt-F or shift-5, etc. Or do you know the key code of the big dot in the Helvetica font? And, since version 3.0, there are many other nice example pages, that help you to find the right font in the right time. Some other features of FontBook: - MultiPrint: Print all installed fonts with a few mouse clicks - 12 example layout page - Save or Copy the entire page - Choose any font from the system or from a disk (without installing it!) - and many, many more. FontBook 3.1 fixed some bugs in FontBook 3.0. FontBook 3.0 sometimes crashed when MultiPrint has been canceled, and it didn't work with some older printer drivers like GDT/InfoWave PowerPrint 3.0.

Wood MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled SUBTRACTION for Special Learners is a unique tool for teaching subtraction. This set of PDF worksheets allow students to compute while learning their facts. The fact bars, strips, etc. included on each page include all and only the facts used on the page. The worksheets are designed to be as uncluttered as possible, with large numbers and very few problems on each page. Fact support is included on ALL pages. All facts presented in a factstrip or factbar are tested at least once on the page. Emphasis is usually given to the newest facts. No other facts should be on the page The "zero minus zero" fact is assumed, and if necessary, should be directly taught. Twenty-eight blackline masters comprise the basic package, with a complement of twenty-eight word problem worksheets. Each page contains fact bars presenting and previewing the facts to be used on the page. Worksheets follow a logical and thorough progression through the operation of subtraction. Complete answer sheets are included. Although these pages may be used successfully for initial instruction in subtraction, they were designed as a review for students who had tried and failed with a traditional approach. MD2:FCSfSpL is unique in that it is published only as a series of computer documents, and in that it supplies comprehensive fact support. This feature allows students who have not, or can not, master their facts to continue learning the process of subtraction. MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled SUBTRACTION for Special Learners , version 1.4, is shareware. You may download the Adobe Acrobat .pdf file to "test-drive" it. No extra applications are necessary, other than the free Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0. Registration of the PDF version for Macintosh or Windows is just $10. The fully editable ClarisWorks version, with many extras, is $25 (currently Mac only). The MATH DITTOS 2 series now includes three fact controlled books published only as computer documents. MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled MULTIPLICATION for Special Learners and MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled ADDITION & SUBTRACTION for Special Learners are also available in PDF format. swood@kagi.com http://www.kagi.com/swood/ Steven L.

Pfeiffer. Nu Sans is a font family that brings Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font to the printed page. Features: -You can use Nu Sans at any point size--without getting the jaggies. -The registered version also includes bold, italic and bold italic--great for web browsing. -Nu Sans, with it's high x-height, is a very readable font, on-screen and on the printed page. About the Nu Sans font family: Nu Sans is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font. Espy Sans is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is also used by the Newton and comes with the Newton Toolkit as well as the Newton Toolkit Demo (part of "Programming for the Newton" by McKeehan and Rhodes). Now you can use Espy Sans on your printer as well. I was fascinated by the towering x-height and easy readability of this font when I first started using eWorld. Then the font showed up again in Greg Landweber & Ed Voas' "Aaron" system extension to update the look of your Mac. I had been designing fonts for awhile and so I decided to take on the challenge of making a printer font out of a bitmap. Driven by a need to use Nu Sans as a general, all-purpose font, I created an Italic and Bold Italic. I have many users who swear by Nu Sans as the default font for their web browsers :-) Marty Pfeiffer http://www.teleport.com/~wamozart/fonts.html This file may be included on any Info-Mac CD-ROM release [Archived as /info-mac/font/ps/nu-sans-80-ps-demo.hqx; 299K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 17:17:47 -0700 From: wamozart@teleport.com Subject: [*] Nu Sans TrueType font 8.0 - a scalable Espy Sans Nu Sans version 8.0; December 12, 1997; by Martin P.

RAM disks are a convenient way to achieve high performance in many applications. Hard drive accesses are hundreds of times slower than memory accesses. RAM disks set aside an amount of memory that the system can then use as a "normal" hard drive, floppy drive, or any other storage device -- except that they're much faster. ramBunctious maintains the advantages and eliminates the disadvantages of most RAM disk programs. Several options let you customize for your desired balance of speed, security, safety, and versatility. For example, you can set it to write through to a file on a (real) disk for safety in the event of a crash. You can mount as many RAM disks as you wish (or as many as you have memory for) simultaneously. ramBunctious uses the same memory that applications use, so the memory used for each RAM disk is instantly available for other applications as soon as the RAM disk is put away. ramBunctious 1.2 increased performance by up to 30%. Also, a timed- save feature was added.

In May of 1997 I released Virtual Maze Book Lite 1.1 which included two very limited methods of making mazes. This version, 2.0.1, adds a robust method which should give enough variety to satisfy all but the most rabid maze fans. Though the program includes a primitive capability to solve the mazes on the screen, its strength is in producing mazes for printing on paper. This reason for this emphasis is that the program was developed in the process of designing two books of mazes which have been published by Dover. Included with the program are several specialized maze fonts which will allow one to print at high resolution. If you enjoy mazes or know someone who does, this is a must download. This version of the program is free. Instructions on how to upgrade to a more complex version of the package are given in the readme.
