In an effort to sort out a recent problem I have been having with ARA launching itself - unbidden - and connecting to my ISP, I trashed the TCP/IP preferences file. When I next launched TCP/IP CP, I noticed it was distinctly different than the last time I looked at it. To wit everything on the right-hand side is missing: *"Select Host Files" button is missing *"Implicit Search Path; Starting domain name" is missing *"Ending domain name" is missing *"Additional Search Domains" is missing * And the "Info" and "Options..." buttons are missing. Anyone know how I get them back, please? BTW, I backup my preference files, so if I trashed the new TCP/IP preference file and replaced it with the backup version, would my missing items be returned?

Clay" Subject: [*] Connect me to... freeware WWW Utlity for Macintosh I must admit that the "Connect to..." script which comes with the MacOs is a pretty good little utility by Apple Computer, Inc. However, I have often been frustrated by not being able to change the default URL that comes with it, and not being able to have a list of favorite URL's which I can access from my desktop. That's why I put together this little freeware application. It is meant as a replacement for the "Connect to..." script, and I believe you will find it very versatile and easy to use. To start off, you must have: A PowerPC computer MacOS 8.5 or later AppleScript A web browser If you would like to place this application in the Apple Menu, where it was designed to go, simply double click on the "Installer applet". All the moving will be done for you instead of you having to dive into multiple folders. You can either delete the "Connect to..." script or use this program in addition to the default script that comes with the OS. web page: http://home.earthlink.net/~aragorn2 email: aragorn2@earthlink.net [Archived as /info-mac/comm/inet/connect-me-to-10.hqx; 721 K] ------------------------------ Date: 18 Jan 2000 From: Nitehawk Jarrett Subject: [*] Creatures & Chaos 2.0 for Kaleidoscope C&C is a scheme to be used with Kaleidoscope 1.8 or higher, although some of it's feauters will not show up unless you are using Kaleidoscope 2.x This scheme is based on a program called CharSys which is a character generator for RPGs such as AD&D.

It is said by many to contain the essence of the Buddha's teachings, and is one of the best-loved works in the Pali Canon. This application generates a verse of the Dhammapada each time it is opened, making it a nice addition to the Startup Items folder. In addition, the entire text of the Dhammapada is available for browsing and reading in the conventional, linear way. Individual verses and chapters can be saved as text files and printed from the File menu, and the Edit menu allows copying of the text. If you encounter any unfamiliar terms, there is a "Useful Definitions" item under the Apple menu. This application is offered as a free gift of Dharma.

Needs: Tanaka's OSAX 2.0x to read clipping files - available free from the author at: Home page: The OSAX: Drag as many of the following kinds of URL containing files as you wish onto Drop Download, and have them downloaded to a folder named "Downloads" on your startup disk. 1. TEXT file types containing a URL or a return deliminated list of URLs. 2. Netscape URL files. 3. Clipping files (regular or internet) with a URL or a return deliminated list of URLs. 4. Anarchie bookmarks. Or, 5. Double click Drop Download, and type or paste in a URL. The URLs are saved into the "Comments" box of each file's "Get Info" window. Successful downloads are logged to a text file at "HD:System Folder:Application Support:URL Access Log Folder:URL Access Download Log" Error messages get saved to a text file on the desktop named "Download failures" Updated script no longer pops URL Access Scripting to the front for each file when doing multiple file downloads, but rather uses a "silent mode" whenever it is doing multi - file (more than 1) downloads. Will try up to 5 times whenever it gets a server busy error (I Hope!! I think the error is 12 but have been unable to test it!!). Added a handler for input from Apple Data Detectors action files. Two un-compiled scripts are included, and must be compiled after Drop Download is installed on your machine. A small applet is also included to convert your compiled ADD action scripts to the correct creator type. This extra step is necessary in order to avoid having to give Drop Download a unique creator type. DownloadGURL Contains much of the code from Drop Download, but with "the on open" handler removed. I gave DownloadGURL a custom creator code (zב) - That's: (z, ASCII 29, ASCII 202, ASCII 254). Changing the creator code causes droplets to lose their 'dropletness' or their ability to process files dropped onto them. But, by so doing, it can be specified as the default helper application for ftp in the Internet preferences, and the ADD action scripts can come precompiled. If you want to play around and edit this script, do it the easy way with Smile. Otherwise, you have to change its creator type back and forth to edit it with Script Editor.

Greg's Browser was originally based on the NeXT OS directory browser, and Apple's latest demos show that the Mac OS X Finder will include a multiple folder view similar to the Browser. Version 2.6.1 is a maintenance release, with over a dozen minor improvements and bug fixes. In particular, it fixes an erroneous alert that appears when moving files to the trash and a beep when emptying the trash. It also fixes a crash when launching the browser if StuffIt SpaceSaver is running. On the improvement side, the text anti-aliasing code is completely rewritten, borrowing heavily from SmoothType. Anti-aliased text now looks better, draws faster, and requires less memory. You can also set the font size to anything from 9 to 16 point, since anti-aliased text often looks best at odd font sizes. Finally, when browsing URL clippings, the Browser now displays the URL at the bottom of the window.

What is Image Extractor? Image Extractor pulls vector and raster images out of EPS and PostScript file, saving them to disk.

System Requirements: Any Apple Power Macintosh or other PPC computer running MacOS System 7.6.1 or later.

I have a B&W G3 running OS 8.6. Several months ago, I got tired of the small round mouse and bought a Logitech 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel, a model M-BA47. It has been working trouble free until this week. Three days ago, I replaced the cramped keyboard that came with the G3 with a full-sized Macally iKey board. Yesterday my cursor froze and I had to a reboot using the reset button on the CPU. I did it again and again and still the cursor remained frozen in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Having Conflict Catcher v8.0.6, I decided to do a conflict test. Problem was, many times when I needed to click on the test bar indicating that I still had a problem, the cursor was frozen and I could not do so and was forced to restart using the reset button. I continued with the conflict test with the results that CC8 identified Default Folder v3.0.3 as the culprit and disabled it. The cursor did not freeze...for awhile. Later in the day, it happened again. When the cursor froze during this test, I decided to see if unplugging the mouse from the Macally keyboard would unfreeze it. It did. I continued with the test, unplugging and replugging the mouse each time it froze. This time, CC8 identified the extensions Recordit Decoder and USB Iomega Jaz Adapter as the culprits. However, when the test was done the cursor was frozen again. When I unplugged it and plugged it back in, it worked fine. If things continue like this, soon I'll have half my control panels and extensions disabled. I am at a loss, but suspect a hardware vice software problem. As the Macally iKey has mouse connections on the left and right hand side of the keyboard, I now have it plugged into the left-hand side to see if I the cursor freezes continue. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

My old copy only runs under system 7, which I can still run on my old 7100 at home - that's how I've been doing my digital audio these recent years - but increasingly I need to be able to digitize audio from my PowerBook, which knows not of system 7. I would upgrade to whatever it is that Macromedia is doing now that is the descendant of SoundEdit 16...if I knew what it was. I don't even SEE ads for such a product from Macromedia any more, though! Do I have to pay full price for a competing product? What is out there that lets me select part of an audio file, cut copy paste and/or delete the selected part? Fade in, change various audio parameters (flange, equalizer, change pitch, change duration, filter out noise, add echo, add resonance, etc etc etc)? Open/Save/Save As options must include Mac soundfile ("System 7 sound"), AIFF, Windows .WAV file, CD audio track; ideally ought to include MIDI and MOD and .MP3 and other compressed formats and so on. Needs to be able to digitize as much music as I have empty hard drive to use for supporting scratch file, at 16 bits 44 / stereo and, preferably, more than two channels per soundfile during editing with mix-down and save-down.
