It will be a valuable asset to your cooking. MacChef 2.0.1 is a HyperCard stack designed primarily to archive recipe textfiles downloaded from the Web and from Usenet groups like rec.food.recipes. This version was produced with HyperCard 2.4.1 and requires HyperCard or HyperCard Player. MacChef 2.0.1 contains over 500 recipes and is much faster than the original. It includes a search operation and a batch print procedure that version 1.0 did not have, and the interface on the Help Card is much easier to work with.

It contains basic routines for dealing with errors, memory, menus, events, linked lists, AppleEvents and Drag-and-Drop. MADE is used extensively at Sig Software for our own programs. Analog Helper, Cross Platform and Email Effects for Mac are built entirely on the MADE framework, while Email Merge and NameCleaner use parts of it. If you purchase MADE, you will receive extra code for string manipulation, opening URLs, threading, dealing with memory and file buffers, dialog box items and opening and saving files with the new Navigation Services. All of these features are documented with comments in the code. Version 1.4.0 adds errors contexts and hiding, linked-list management, threading and Navigation Services support to the licensed package, and rearranged files and documentation.

Rogers" Subject: [*] MacTypingTutor 4.7 Replaces MacTypingTutor4.6 for Power Macintoshes. This version will now open on both older and newer Power Macs. Individuals with regular Macintoshes should download MacTypingTutor4.3.1 or earlier. Schools can arrange to acquire both the Power Mac version and regular Mac version for the same fee. The MacTypingTutor programs are great for beginning typing students. They use five integrated work areas that together teach correct finger placement and memorization of the keyboard keys. Practice exercises focus on single letters, letter and number sequences, words, sentences, paragraphs, and free typing. The program offers a spelling checker, user-defined speed goals, score sheets, time tracking with rest signals, and many other helpful features. You can hide or show your typing, screen-keyboard, and feedback reports. You can adjust difficulty level from very easy to hard (this is a good feature for younger children). The program automatically remembers your work-preferences from session to session. MacTypingTutor comes in the regular version, a special keyboard version (Dvorak), a French version, an English version with a French keyboard-layout, and one-handed versions (left or right). Contact W. Rogers at one of the email addresses below to get other versions of MacTypingTutor. wroger@tiac.net wroger@aol.com W.

What's suntar ? Really, suntar is becoming two things in one. It's a MacBinary, BinHex, uuencode and PackIt extractor, and it's one of the fastest extractors you can find, and one of the few which may convert more files in one operation (only with drag&drop, by now). That may be enough to let you wish use it. But its original purpose was to communicate, acting as a bridge between a UNIX workstation and the Mac if a few, minimal hardware requirements are met: that is, a physical medium (a mass storage device) must be connected to both machines. That's usually easy with floppy disks but almost any SCSI device may be used instead. Finally, handling devices requires some bookkeeping: this may be seen as a third personality; some time ago I used suntar to resurrect a SyQuest cartridge which, according to Norton Utilities, was completely lost. That's because all available utilities access the disk at a rather high level, and can't solve even the simplest problems arising at a lower level.

It displays the lifetimes and travels of historical figures, and dates and locations of historical events. It is a tool for keeping track of when and where things happened, and their relationships to each other. It is meant to provide a way to keep track of the multitude of different peoples, dynasties, empires and developments throughout history. It answers questions like, "What else was happening in the world at that time?" Twistory is a historical dictionary that you can use to create maps and time-lines. A resource of over 2250 people, events and places is included. The database has an open text format, so that more historical information can be added by any user. A complete description of the file format is included. The two main windows are the time-line window, which shows lives and events against a variable time scale, and the map window, which shows people and events in their geographic locations during an interval of time. There is also a genealogy window which shows the ancestors and descendants of the selected person, and an info window that shows additional details about the person or event. A "This Day in History" window lists all milestones occurring on a particular day of the year. There is also a "Find" window. Version 1.5 greatly improves the speed at which the database loads. Also, water is now drawn in blue on the map. Twistory will work on any Mac with system 7 or later. It uses about 6 Mb of disk space, and needs at least 2.5 Mb of RAM to run comfortably. With a large monitor or with several windows open, 4 Mb is better. Twistory is $10 (US or Cdn) shareware. You may evaluate it for free.

This "TypeMaster" is introduced at some web sites as follows: "TypeMaster is a typing drill instructor that really pushes you to become a better typist. If you're then you hunt and peck about the keyboard, constantly using the back-space key to correct mistakes. With TypeMaster, you'll be drilled to correct your mistakes in typing and eventually you'll no longer need to look at the keyboard at all. If you're serious about learning to touch type, check out TypeMaster. It's up there with the best of them, and even rivals some commercial products that I've seen." -- Macdownload.com This program was developed with the REALbasic.

However, if anyone reading this for some reason feels the need to pay me some amount of money for this game, I'm all for that (no surprise here), so email if you want to. (By the way, this has happened before.) It will contribute to my lust for writing video games and help insure future versions of Unicycle and other fun (snicker) games that I'm working on.

I had to send my adapter back because it doesn't work. According to Keyspan it should work. The mail order company sayes it doesn't work. I can't figure out who's right. By the way: does anyone have experience with the iDock product and an eMate or any other product that should work. Thanks in advance, Andre' van der Ham. PS: can anyone get the IRDA link between iMac and eMate to work, I think its just a matter of software. -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
