User interacts with flowchart elements directly manipulating them in a true pleasant Mac environment.

Then select lines from the palette and use them to link boxes. You can control shape, color, pattern, line spessor, and aspect of internal text of boxes. Object can be manipulated in the drawing in a very easy and intuitive way, box can even be selected and copied via clipboard, pasting them and obtaining again true 'flowchart box' with full possibility to manipulate them in color, style size etc. You can also control spessor of lines, use arrows, specifying type and aspect, even specifying the angle of the arrow head. The environment offers a lot of facilities to make the work easier. A mouse grid can be defined to force allignament of boxes and lines. The preferred measure unit can be selected from pixel, mm, cm, inches. In any moment you can modify the working scale, more or less of 100 % and work in the preferred scale. Documents can be larger as the user likes. The output can be printed using any Mac printer. A fine control of the printing margin (using the selected measure unit) is provided, for a true 'What You See Is What You Get'.

It not only makes a whole lot more of your memory usable, for keeping more applications and documents open, it also makes your memory more flexible and reliable. RAM Charger 8 is easier to use, yet offers more control over how memory is distributed. A RAM Charged app can open initially into a minimal size block of memory--then resize automatically--right out to the limits of the memory in your machine. Cuts down on application-related "Not Enough Memory" errors and crashes. If you use virtual memory or RAM Doubler, RAM Charger 8 helps you get a lot more into your extended memory space, too. Works on ANY MAC, including Pluses, SEs, Classics, LCs and Power Macs (works with Modern Memory Manager and System 7.5, too). This complete copy of RAM Charger operates for two weeks after installation. Full documentation is included. Requirement: Any Mac Running System 7 or OS 8.

The application to launch can be a Macromedia Director Projector, a SuperCard project, a Quark-Immedia Presentation, an Applet or any other application... Tips: - You can easily create your own screen saver by choosing the "QuickShow" application (by David Howel) as the startup application. QuickShow is a freeware utility that shows all pictures, jpeg, QuickTime movies, etc. from a folder. - There are also a lot of tools to convert a QuickTime movie into an application.

If you intend to use StartThing on a single computer, the site license is not for you: you only need to get a $10 single-user license. However, if you are a professional designer in the field of animation or desktop publishing, you can choose to get a $100 site license for the "Pro" version of StartThing. With StartThing Pro, you will be able to: * customize StartThing Pro to only launch a single animation: the one you have designed, * provide StartThing Pro to your customers, bundled with the animation you have designed for them, * customize the control panel to display the logo of your company, * install StartThing Pro on all computers of your customer. Provide StartThing Pro to your customers to play the animation you sell them, [Archived as /info-mac/app/ss/start-thing-104.hqx; 121K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Dec 1997 11:02:14 -0700 From: yellowsoft@iol.it Subject: [*] ToScrap 1.3.1; Clipboard utility. ToScrap is an useful application for copying data to Clipboard without open files containing data. In other words, if you pass, for example, a 'PICT' file to ToScrap, the picture will be copied into Clipboard, but the file remains closed. Data copied can be pasted, naturally, following the usual procedures, but ToScrap is very useful to check, quickly, the contents of files. For example if you leave opened the Clipboard window then pass a 'TEXT' file to ToScrap, you can read the text, comfortably and fast, without use word processors... These are, in a few words, its features: 'TEXT', 'ttro', 'sfil', 'PICT', 'PNTG', 'JFIF', 'JPEG', 'TIFF' built-in translators. "Claris XTND System" use, for different files. Screen portion copying. Data fork copying. Resource fork copying. Clipboard infos. Clipboard management: clear the Scrap, read it into memory, write it to disk. ToScrap can also automatically open the Finder's Clipboard window, after copying (or else at any time). Drag Manager support. Hot Keys for choosing alternative work method. ToScrap is Macintosh Drag and Drop, Internet Config and Balloon Help aware. It requires, at least System Seven to run and is Appearance savvy. ToScrap package contains two versions of the application: ToScrap 1.3.1 (68K) for 68K Macs or, in emulation, for Power Macs. ToScrap 1.3.1 (PPC) for Power Macs. Author: Rocco Moliterno mailto:yellowsoft@iol.it http://users.iol.it/yellowsoft New since version 1.3.0: Fixed a nasty bug occurring on PPC when "XTND Power Enabler" isn't installed. Updated docs.
