If you already have an older version of ACRONYMS, you can instead download Update List Indigo from http://acronyms.co.nz/updates/indigo.hqx to get the new acronyms. [words and phrases in capitals are acronyms whose expansions are in the stack] The purpose of this FREEWARE HYPERCARD STACK is to provide an introduction to a MIRTHFUL use of ACRONYMS on the INTERNET. Have you ever wished you had a better alternative to LOL? Or thought "Who makes up these WITTICISMs?" Well anybody can, you can! Don't say you're JUST TOO BUSY! and you don't want to READ A MANUAL. You can create an ACRONYM out of ALMOST ANYTHING! You can make them from any old CLICHE, use them to tell people to SHUT UP, state that THAT'S NOT FUNNY, tell a GIRL that she's FEMININE, SMILE a SMUG SMILE or just find FLAWS in the MEMORY of a UNIVERSITY EINSTEIN. Take a DIRTY MIND, add a CHUCKLE, stir in a QUIP, and a QUANTITY of SNORTING, stick on a DISCLAIMER, and that's THE WAY THINGS ARE! You can politely tell people to PISS OFF, PUT A SOCK IN IT, BE CIVIL or tell them THAT'S CHILDISH. You can tell people that they're talking BOLLOCKS! And if you're ON A ROLL, you can create a HUMDINGER of a reply to someone who won't TRY ONSCREEN HELP. So who began this BIZARRE ADVENTURE through the ALPHABET? A CRAZED KIWI and an ABNORMAL IRISH man with a DIRTY MIND, who found themselves making up LAUGHTER ACRONYMS during their EPISTLES to the ANTIPODES - a sequence of combinations started when TONY MCCOY O'GRADY (MAXIOGEE) sent ANGELA BRETT AN EMAIL about his SLEUTHing in some of her SHAREWARE. They decided not to continue DOING NOTHING about their HILARIOUS ACRONYM stash, so they compiled them into this STACK, and in the process created a SUPERHERO called MACGIRL, her SIDEKICK KEYBOARD, and many DASTARDly VILLAINs. ACRONYMS is also on the WORLD WIDE WEB. Check out http://acronyms.co.nz to view all the acronyms - including new ones, download the latest update lists (which let you import new acronyms into the stack) and new versions of the stack, view the acronymist HALL OF FAME and honours list, subscribe to THE ACRONYM TIMES and more.

If you don't have ACRONYMS, you can download the latest version of ACRONYMS from http://acronyms.co.nz. The latest version (currently 3.4) already contains all the acronyms which are in this update list, so you won't need to download this as well. #### BINHEX acronyms-update-ruby.hqx **** From: Angela Brett Subject: ACRONYMS Update List {9}Ruby Update List {9}Ruby can be imported into the ACRONYMS HyperCard stack versions 1.0 to 3.4, to add 1370 new apronyms.

Unlike previous update lists, the release of Update List Ruby does not coincide with the release of a new version of the stack containing the new apronyms. Even if you download the latest version of ACRONYMS, you will still need to import Update List Ruby to get the new apronyms. The apronyms are also available at the Apronyms website: http://apronyms.com #### BINHEX american-hangman-202.hqx **** From: Ken Winograd Subject: American Hangman - Presidents and States v2.02 American Hangman - Presidents and States v2.02 A Carbonized Macintosh Educational Game Merrimack, New Hampshire, January 20, 2003: Ken Winograd and Space-Time Associates announced today the "Carbonized" release of version 2.02 of a fun Macintosh game called American Hangman - Presidents and States. American Hangman is an educational game based on the classic hangman word guessing game we all played when we were kids. American Hangman merges the best of our Presidents3000 and States3000 games into one inexpensive game. American Hangman features colorful, non-violent graphics, digitized sounds, synthesized speech, pictures and information, and options designed especially for visually challenged users. American Hangman is "secretly educational". It's played for fun, but you can't help learning. Learn the names of the Presidents and their Vice Presidents and First Ladies. Learn to recognize the face of each of the Presidents. Learn their terms of office, their party affiliations, the sequential ordering of the Presidents and more. Learn the States, the State Capitals, State Birds, State Flowers, State Trees, State Nicknames and more. Version 2.02 changes the official name of the game from 'American Hangman' to 'American Hangman - Presidents and States' to better differentiate this game from our more general hangman-type word-guessing game called Hang3000. Also, added Special Web Sites menu, updated copyright and other minor cosmetic changes. American Hangman requires a Macintosh (PPC-only) with screen resolution of 800x600 (or more), and OS9 or OSX. For more information, or to download or securely register the program, please visit the American Hangman web page at: Information: http://www.winograd.com Quick Download: http://www.winograd.com/AmericanHangman.sit.hqx Opening Screen: http://www.winograd.com/images/ah1.jpg Mid-Game Screen: http://www.winograd.com/images/ah2.jpg #### BINHEX anagrams-23.hqx **** From: Andrew Trevorrow Subject: Anagrams 2.3 Anagrams is a fast and friendly anagram generator -- a handy companion for Scrabble and crossword fans.

Oliver) eoliver@cris.com Subject: Crossword Puzzle Aid (PPC only) CROSSWORD PUZZLE AID (PPC ONLY) By Erik Oliver Version 1.0 oliver@dolphin.upenn.edu System Requirements: * PPC Based Macintosh Compatible computer * ample memory for the dictionary file you are using. This program is similar in many respects to what one might use the 'grep' program for on a UNIX box. The idea here is to simplify the process of using a grep-like program for crossword puzzle assistance. You need the application, Crossword, and a text file consisting of the words/phrases that you wish to search in. I have included a NYTimes file which consists of the words from a number of weeks worth of New York Times Crossword Puzzles. A large english language dictionary is available with the program Anagram 1.5 in the Info-Mac archives. (The slow speed of that program on my PowerMac lead me to write this program.) This is not a top notch Mac program but a quick and dirty tool to assist crossword puzzle fans. Thus there are no guarantees express or implied for using this program and any use is at your own risk. This program and the associated dictionary file are freeware. #### BINHEX crozzwordz-13-x.hqx **** From: Steve Weyer Subject: CrozzWord 1.3d for OS X With CrozzWord, a user can display, fill-in and solve crossword and cryptic puzzles.

Alas, it didn't run on my system, so undaunted, I decided to write my own. It has a reasonable (if sparse) Mac interface, and it runs in the background under System 7. Karma Manager is a program which takes a word or phrase and rearranges the letters into other words or phrases. For example, if you take the phrase "Anagram Maker" you can rearrange the letters to get "Karma Manager." Karma Manager comes with a dictionary of words which it will use to create anagrams, or you can supply your own dictionary or dictionaries. It will also read the ARS MAGNA dictionaries so you can still use those if you have them (and paid for them :-). The output is dumped by default to a resizable window and it can optionally capture the output in a text file. Karma Manager is Shareware and costs $7.

It is a fun game for anybody interested in math puzzles. The target age group is age 10 and up. Grad students of mathematics will enjoy this also. Students who have to learn the Roman numeral system are provided with a motivation to really wanting to know what LII, CXC, DLXXXIX etc. stand for. People who think they know the Roman numeral system will probably found out they are not so fluent as they thought they were. An all-time high score is kept, and represented, of course, in Roman numerals. The game works as follows: - you are given 6 numbers - you are given 1 target number Your task is to combine the 6 numbers, using addition, multiplication, subtraction and division, and get to the target number. You don't have to use all 6, but each number you can only use once. For example, try to make 431 with the numbers 8 10 25 2 75 6. Now imagine all numbers are represented in Roman numerals... The game has two complexity levels and generates thousands and thousands of problems. The puzzles can be solved at your own pace or you can race against the clock. You can also earn extra bonus points if you opt to compete against the machine and beat it. After you have solved a puzzle you can check how the computer would have solved it, and delight in its ingenuity, or sometimes, in your own ingenuity and its stupidity.

There are eight categories, with seventy-five words in each category. You have eight chances to guess the word, and a description of the word is given in the end of each round. I have used this stack on a variety of macs from a IIci to a Power Mac 9500, without any problems. The only problem I have had is running it with Hypercard player. It is a colorful stack with placed graphics, and none of this would show up using the player. So for best results, if you can use Hypercard 2.3, this is what I made it with.
