Subject: [*] Newton Book of Kai Lung's Golden Hours 

	This is a Newton book of _Kai Lung's Golden Hours_, by Ernest
Bramah.  The original text was taken from Project Gutenberg and the
Project Gutenberg boilerplate text is still present in this book.
This is a classic work, first published in the 1920's, and was wildly
popular back then, although it is almost entirely forgotten today.
It resembles a work of fantasy, as it takes place in a classical China
that never was, but is also a work of biting social satire.  Best of all,
it's funny as a stick.

Reminder: What is PowerMail
--------------------------------

PowerMail is an e-mail client for MacOS that combines powerful features
with a clear, intuitive, and easy-to-use interface. PowerMail supports
multiple e-mail accounts, both POP and IMAP, has advanced indexing and
searching capabilities, and supports multiple languages and script systems.

PowerMail is being developed by a dedicated team of five Macintosh
software developers who are determined to meet the needs of demanding
users of electronic mail. We think that an e-mail client can be powerful
and full-featured and still have an elegant interface and be easy to use.
We have implemented the features commonly found in leading e-mail
applications (multiple accounts, filtering, encoding, enclosure
management) while offering a unique focus on the following areas:

Mobile usage:
* PowerMail's IMAP4 functionality lets users display and manipulate the
contents of server-based mailboxes without having to download all
messages. It is a convenient, standards-based successor to LAN e-mail

Subject: [*] Run DFA 1.0

Run DFA 1.0 is an AppleScript application which launches Disk First Aid
8.2 and scans all of the local disks on your system. As such, it's a
great addition to your Startup Items folder, and also a handy item to
keep around in your Apple Menu.

The theory of operation is pretty simple. Run DFA creates a list of local
volumes and ships the list off to Disk First Aid 8.2 to be verified.
That's it. If a volume needs repair, Disk First Aid will be open and
ready to perform the operation.

Run DFA 1.0 requires AppleScript and Disk First Aid 8.2.

Any questions, bug reports, and suggestions should be directed to me at
drbenway@texas.net.

Run DFA 1.0 is freeware, and is released to the public without any
warranty whatsoever.

Subject: [*] SchemeChecker 1.4.1 - Kaleidoscope 1.x and 2.x scheme utility

When Greg Landweber released Kaleidoscope 1.5, he started supporting third
party color schemes. This made it possible for anybody to make their own
schemes and change their MacOS interface completely. But, unfortunately, not
all scheme designers are careful enough to make sure their schemes are bug
free.

To help scheme authors create schemes that had less bugs and would run more
smoothly, SchemeChecker was released. SchemeChecker runs several tests on
your schemes, to make sure you haven't omitted any crucial resources, or
added resources that aren't used at all.

Starting with version 1.4, SchemeChecker is fully compatible with the new,
complex scheme format in Kaleidoscope 2.x schemes. SchemeChecker also allows
schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new
Kaleidoscope 2.x resources, such as desktop patterns, window colors or
cursors, as long as the resource IDs or functionality don't overlap.

SchemeChecker enables you to check all the schemes in any folder (including
subfolders), just one scheme or several schemes which can be selected from a
list. The results can easily be exported to a TEXT file which you can open
in any text editor.

Recent changes to SchemeChecker
-------------------------------
1.4.1 - Sept 28, 1998
   * Minor update to add support for the new resources introduced
     in Kaleidoscope 2.1 and MacOS 8.5.
   * A couple of minor bugs were fixed.

1.4 - Aug 20, 1998
   * SchemeChecker now does a better job at checking schemes configured
     to be used only with Kaleidoscope 2.0 or later. It also allows
     schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the
     new Kaleidoscope 2.0 resources in areas where the resource IDs
     don't overlap.
   * Kaleidoscope now checks the "Minimum Kaleidoscope version" entry in
     the Colr ID 129 resource for errors.
   * You can now make SchemeChecker automatically fix any unset System
     Heap and Purgeable bits.
   * When you select a different scheme in the Result window, the dis-
     played information no longer reverts to the "further info" field.
   * The Result window uses a document window, allowing you to switch
     between the windows in SchemeChecker and use the menus.
   * A bug that prevented schemes with a comma in the name to be checked
     has been fixed.
   * The "Save results..." button in the Report window had by mistake
     been disabled in version 1.3. It now works again.

Subject: [*] Troi Dialog Plug-in 1.2.1 for FileMaker Pro

Troi Automatisering announces the release of Troi Dialog Plug-in 1.2.1, for
FileMaker Pro 4.0 (or higher) both on Macintosh and Windows.

What is Troi Dialog Plug-in?
---------------------------
With this plug-in you can create dynamic dialog text (and buttons!) on the
fly by calculation. These dialog boxes are a vast improvement of the "Show
Message" script step. Because you can create them dynamically they are
great for displaying variable field content, numbers, dates/times, layout
names etc. You specify the text of the dialog as a calculation, and you may
also specify up to 4 buttons. This makes localization of dialog boxes to
other languages finally feasible. You can also specify an input dialog and
even a hidden input dialog box for passwords.

With this plug-in you can also create a progress bar to indicate to a user
that a script is doing a lengthy operation, and provide feedback on how
long this still will last.

The Dialog plug-in is shareware and costs $20 per user. Multi-user
discounts, site licenses and developer licenses are available. Upgrade for
current users of Troi FM Plug-in 1.0 is free!

System Requirements
-------------------
Any Mac or Windows machine that runs FileMaker Pro 4.

Graphic Plug-in, for FileMaker Pro 4.0 both on Macintosh and Windows.

What is Troi Graphic Plug-in 1.0b1

blue combination) color you want.

Screen Capture:
Capture the state of the screen into a container field: You can capture the
complete screen or specify which part of the screen you want. This is great

way to make small preview images. But with the Graphic plug-in you now can
create small thumbnails, all within FileMaker! Ideal for speedy images in
Web Publishing.

We invite you to test drive this beta version and see what _you_ can do
with it!

TrueKeys - Chinese/Japanese/Korean Truetype Font Converter

Copyright " UniDoc System LLC, 1998.

TrueKeys is a Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK) 2-byte truetype font
conversion utilities. What makes it different
from other truetype conversion such as TTConvert 1.5 and TrueConvert 0.3b
is that it generates its own cmap
table for specified language encoding, and assemble the original font data
into a new truetype. This strategy
corrects some common PC font problems such as no Mac cmap table support,
etc. When TTConvert or
TrueConvert does not work for your font, you should seriously try
TrueKeys. TrueKeys v3.0 is guarenteed to work
with any Mac format CJK truetypes and Windows ttf format truetypes.

Key Benefits

               Convert Chinese/Japanese/Korean truetype fonts between

'Verbs&Nouns'. You can use 'V&N Lookup' while you are working with other

similar words in several languages at the same time. It can check the
spelling and translate passages of text word for word.

The application 'V&N Lookup' is part of my 'Foreign Language Toolkit'. To
try out the program you can download not-protected dictionaries and play

Subject: [*] Verbs & Nouns 2.1.8 - foreign language learning

'Verbs & Nouns' is an application for practising inflection, translation
and pronunciation at the level of single words. Features include the
opportunity to do inflection exercises, and translation exercises in
both directions; to record and play sound for single words; and to do
exercises based on sound or pictures.

The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that
the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a
module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used
as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for
any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition
of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as
bilingual dictionaries.

Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages. You can
visit my home-page to get more information:
