BOOM is an arcade game in the grand tradition, bringing the playability and feel of the glorious 8-bit consoles on the Macintosh. It can be described as "Bomberman meets Doom". Actually, I took the basic Bomberman idea and dropped it in a "Super-Deformed Doom" scenario (whatever this means). As a space marine your mission is to penetrate 8 alien infested areas, each one divided in 10 sub-zones, eliminate all enemies using your bombs and finally kick the Big Alien Boss back to where he came from. System Requirements PowerPC processor. Mac OS 8.6 or later. 640x480 or larger monitor supporting 256 colors. For Mac OS 8.6 and 9.x only: 9 MBytes free memory. CarbonLib 1.1 or later. Sound Manager 3.0 or later. Recommended Configuration For Mac OS 8.6 and 9.x only: InputSprocket 1.1 or later (not supported under Mac OS X). QuickTimeΌ 4 or later with 'QuickTime Authoring' component installed. What's new in BOOM 1.3? * A few small bug fixes and code adjustments. * Updated the documentation as usual. Distribution BOOM is 15$ shareware. You can distribute BOOM freely, provided that you leave the software and the accompanying documentation unchanged. You can include BOOM in CD-ROMs and other software collections only by previous agreement.

This can be handy if you want to put your dock on the right side of the screen but want to avoid the conflict for space with the disk icons on the desktop. It can also help avoid the problem of desktop icons becoming covered up by open windows. DockDisks is a hack, and as such it is obviously not perfect. The main caveat is that the Dock is quit and relaunched when the list of disks is refreshed, because the Dock has no API for adding/removing items, and thus has to be relaunched to refresh its settings. However, DockDisks does do its job, which is to put your disks in the dock. Current features: - Preference pane interface - Can be set to automatically launch at login - Automatically mounts disks when they are inserted - Automatically unmounts disks when they are ejected - Automatically ejects removable disks and servers when they are dragged off of the dock - Allows the user to choose whether to display fixed disks, removable disks, servers, or any combination thereof in the dock. - Allows the user to choose the area of the dock in which the disks will appear - German localization by Sebastian Krau=DF - French localization by Ronald Leroux [Archived as /info-mac/gui/dockdisks-10b41.hqx; 187 K] ------------------------------ Date: 1 Jul 2002 From: Ton Brand To: Subject: [*] DupliMizer 2.4 DupliMizer 2.4 What it is: AppleScript program that duplicates and optimizes your entire web folder in one pass.

This link is buried in the discussion on XPF. The XLR8YourMac site page has some warnings to be considered when trying to install 9.2.x on unsupported Macs. But, the bottom line is "if it ain't broken, don't fix it!" YMMV. I'm still running 9.1 on my older Macs when I run OS 9 standalone. Everything works fine. But, most of the time, I'm running 10.1.5 on my 8600 with a Powerlogix G4/450 using XPF. --Dwight ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 00:43:15 -0400 From: Don Webb To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: [Q] Firewire-scsi? Loath as I am to junk some expensive peripherals, I need a Firewire-Scsi hub. Such a thing appears to be rather expensive, and I really don't know where to turn. Any recommendations for or against much appreciated!

You need some plug-ins from Intel which are now placed DIRECTLY in the System. You get them now with Quicktime. I have the PRO version and if you select the options, you will see the one for playing .AVI. Indeo½ Video Indeo½ Video 4 Indeo½ Video5 Previously, I downloaded the plug-ins from the Intel site, after some searching. You need many plug-ins because there are many types of .AVI, depending of the age of the .AVI you want to play. With this new Quicktime setup, you should be able to play most .AVI; but not all as I have seen recently. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis Bergeron GRH Service Conseil C.P. 68 Granby Qc Canada J2G 8E2 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2002 16:19:31 -0700 From: noone@nowhere.com (John Rethorst) To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: Conditional mail-merge macro in WP 3.5 In article , digest@info-mac.org wrote: > Can anyone please provide a sample of a conditional mail- > merge macro for Word Perfect 3.x Mac?
