WHAT IS COOLVIEWS? CoolViews is a utility that adds functionality and visual enhancements to the MacOS 8 Finder. With CoolViews installed, you can reorder and resize columns in Finder window list views, get rid of shaded sort columns and row separators, set global list view preferences, override the date and time formatting used by the Finder, and even enable "secret" columns. MACOS 8 IS GREAT. AND WITH COOLVIEWS, IT'S BETTER THAN EVER! Every preference in CoolViews is customizable. You can use as much or as little of its functionality as you need: from the simplest enhancement to a complete overhaul of the Finder's windows. If you want to shorten the date used in Finder list views, decrease the column widths, and eliminate the lines separating rows, you can do that. If you want to completely override folder-specific list view preferences, use funky background colors in your windows, and add columns showing the creator and type of every file, you can do that too! Versions of CoolViews are available for both PowerMacs and 680x0 Macs, and in Japanese as well as English. CoolViews is compatible with MacOS 8.1 and works with other appearance-modifying utilities like Kaleidoscope. WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.1 CoolViews 1.1 introduces a number of changes that make it even cooler than before. Much of the interface has been redesigned. For example, CoolViews now includes a "mock" Finder window that allows you to visually modify the columns in Finder list views. The most significant new feature is the ability to reorder columns. You can also now resize (and reorder) columns without globally overriding column visibility. Also, in addition to removing the separators between rows in Finder window list views, you can now choose to colorize the separators instead. We recommend that all CoolViews users upgrade to version 1.1.

Most pilots don't want to manually go through the complex math involved (Try using imaginary numbers to solve a wind correction problem!), and the usual alternative is the cumbersome E6B Flight Computer. However, this is nothing more than a circular slide rule. Surely there is a better way to perform these calculations. Yes, you guessed it, there is now! FlightMath handles routine calculations like wind correction, speed and distance, fuel consumption, and temperature problems with ease.

Start up INSTANT PLAYER, go back to the Finder, select a soundfile and press the option key. One can browse a large number of soundfiles by just holding down the option key and clicking on the sounds. This makes it great for looking through sound f/x or sample libraries. It will play the soundfile as soon as it opens it, so is also good as a browser helper application or as a drag and drop player.

This reduces power consumption and quiets a Mac when it is not in use. Sleeper can also password-protect the screen and shut down a Mac if it has been idle for too long. Separate sleep times can be set for all features, and a hotkey can be used to put the Macintosh to sleep on demand. Unlike Apple's Energy Saver control panel, Sleeper does not require that a Macintosh have built-in power management capabilities, so Sleeper will support any model from the MacPlus to the latest PowerMacs. By not relying on Apple's Power Manager, Sleeper can also provide more options and more precise control, and does not suffer from the unreliability some users experience with Apple's Energy Saver control panel. Sleeper requires only 50K of RAM to provide all its capabilities. These features include: - Hard disk sleep - Energy Star monitor support - Password screen locking - A very frugal screen saver - Timed shutdown - Configurable hotkey options - Support for the Sleep command in the Finder's Special menu - Kaleidoscope and Mac OS 8.1 compatibility - PowerMac-native support for both IDE and SCSI disks - Support for multiple SCSI buses - Full SCSI Manager 4.3 compliance - Balloon help Sleeper will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, including Mac OS 8.1, and is accelerated for PowerPC.

I do not recall making any changes that may have caused this. ... Symptom details - computer freezing after all extensions loaded but before the desktop icons are drawn. Its random, sometimes happens - sometimes not - but its been happening a lot lately - and I'm getting sick of it. SUGGESTION: You did not mention if you achieve successful successive startups with all extensions off (shift key down during boot). If you succeed that is a sure indication of a conflict with installed system items. Try the no extension boot and afterwards delete the Finder Preferences and replace your Finder file. If you restart successfully lock the Finder and Finder Preferences. Next I would suggest you zap the parameter ram (PRAM) using Cmd-Opt-P-R from a cold start. Finally, use an extension manager to test for conflicts with installed extensions, control panels, etc. LAST RESORT: Backup the hard drive of your computer. Restart with a system CD and reformat your drive and install a clean version of the system. Now install your own software one by one, testing by restarting after each installation of your software to identify the offending items. One way to quickly identify newly installed items is to use File Buddy's (http://www.skytag.com) create inventory and compare inventory features. .. Patrick L.

Running a Quadra 630 (68040) as my day-to-day machine, OS 8.1, connected to NT LAN using DAVE TCP/IP (terrific program!). Using MS-Outlook Express 4.0 for mail, Netscape 4.04 for browser, and Claris Organizer (demo) for contacts and schedules. Main problems are (1) company is using Schedule+ v7.5 for calendars. I'm having almost no luck interfacing with it; (2) want to migrate off Outlook Express to something more robust for email (Eudora Pro 4.0?); (3) want to have a contacts manager which interfaces with my email program so that I only have to enter an email address once, and from then on the mail program will "pull" the address from the contacts manager. I have almost 700 names in my contacts database so updating each one 2 or 3 times in different programs is a non-starter. Request recommendations for email/contact mgmt programs which will interface to meet objectives (2) and (3), and if it will allow me to interface with Schedule+ that's even better. Failing that, maybe publish my schedule as an HTML page which I can put on a web server for my colleagues?

This does indeed sound like an extension conflict. Even though you didn't add any new extensions, it's perfectly possible that you have an extension that is compatible with Mac OS 8.0 and not with 8.1. You can use your Extensions Manager control panel to narrow it down. To start with, choose "Mac OS 8.1 all" as the "Selected Set" and restart. If it works okay, turn on your other extensions (one or two at a time) and restart until it stops working -- then you'll know what's causing the problem. If it doesn't work with "Mac OS 8.1 all", try "Mac OS 8.1 base". If that doesn't work, turn off the non-essential parts of that one, such as Desktop Pictures, and see if it works. You also may wish to use a program like Conflict Catcher to automate this process -- it knows what's essential and what isn't, and can check for multiple conflicts. A free trial copy of Conflict Catcher is available from: http://www.casadyg.com/products/conflictcatcher/ >I cant understand why the Finder and preferences are sooooo fragile. Well, all software is fragile and fails to work if it's damaged. If an extension is damaging the Finder, it's not really Apple's fault. Apple wanted to eliminate extensions entirely with Copland to prevent this kind of problem, but many people like the flexibility of extensions more than guaranteed stability. -- Robert L Mathews Tiger Technologies ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 21:27:40 -0400 (EDT) From: David Roche Subject: Slow connect (Windows better?) Hi folks, I'm using a PowerBook 1400cs with a 33.6 Megahertz modem, and I currently use MS Internet Explorer 4. I've noticed that my connect speed doesn't seem to be as fast as it should be. Is there a program available which would show my connect speed? The program which dials-up for me, "Apple Internet Status" doesn't give this information. And why is it that even after a web page has completely loaded, when I scroll through it, the browser window is VERY slow to update, in a very jerky manner? When I browse the web on a much slower Windows based machine at my job, web pages scroll very smoothly, yet my machine scrolls web pages very annoyingly slow, even after they've fully loaded. My machine has 48 megs of RAM, and I've devoted 7 megs of RAM to Internet Explorer. I've tried adding even more, but it doesn't seem to speed things up. I also use Ram Doubler 2, and Speed Doubler 8. Help!!! Thanks in advance for some information. David Roche -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
