Smart Scroll 3.5 extends Finder 8.5's 'Smart Scrolling' to most other applications! Apple has adopted 'Smart Scrolling' for Mac OS 8.5's Finder, but still only Smart Scroll brings Proportional Thumbs and Live Scrolling to Netscape, Emailer, Eudora, ClarisWorks, Word, and many other popular applications. New in version 3.5: *Support for Mac OS 8.5 and 8.5.1 *Added choice of scrollbar arrow style *Added support for Eudora Pro 4.02 and 4.1 *pageUp and pageDown keys may now be used instead of clicking above/below thumb *Misc. changes and fixes Mac OS 8.5 provides applications with the possibility of displaying proportional thumbs, but applications will need to be updated to take advantage of the new feature. Among applications included with Mac OS 8.5, so far only the Finder uses this feature. Smart Scroll provides proportional thumbs for "the rest of apps", without updating applications! Smart Scroll communicates with Kaleidoscope so scrollbars using the new color schemes can be proportional and have active scrolling! Smart Scroll is also designed to cooperate with DoubleScroll 2.1.2 and 2.2 by Ed Voas ( now superseded by Kaleidoscope 2.x). Note: On Mac OS 8.5 and 8.5.1 Smart Scroll 3.5 is compatible with Kaleidoscope 2.1.2 or better.

MacOS and Windows use two different ASCII tables (a way to represent the characters) so when you open a Windows text file with a Mac application all the characters like: =E8,=E0,=E9,=F9,= =EC,=F2 etc. are misinterpreted. ASCII converter fixs this drawback and enable you to correctly read the text file. To convert a file, drag it over the ASCII converter icon until highlighted and release the mouse button.

This update fixes a recently discovered incompatibility of previous versions with MacOS 8.5.1 (it did not occur with MacOS 8.5). Since this update does contain some substantial changes in the inner workings of the program and has only briefly been tested, it has to be considered beta-software and handled with appropriate caution. The demo version is limited to 40 atoms, prints banners across exported graphics and is 68K code only (runs in emulation on PowerPCs). The full version supports 2 x 32K atoms and is fully native (accelerated for PowerPC).

But, unfortunately, not all scheme designers are careful enough to make sure their schemes are bug free. To help scheme authors create schemes that had less bugs and would run more smoothly, SchemeChecker was released. SchemeChecker runs several tests on your schemes, to make sure you haven't omitted any crucial resources, or added resources that aren't used at all. Starting with version 1.4, SchemeChecker is fully compatible with the new, complex scheme format in Kaleidoscope 2.x schemes. SchemeChecker also allows schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new Kaleidoscope 2.x resources, such as desktop patterns, window colors or cursors, as long as the resource IDs or functionality don't overlap. SchemeChecker enables you to check all the schemes in any folder (including subfolders), just one scheme or several schemes which can be selected from a list. The results can easily be exported to a TEXT file which you can open in any text editor. Recent changes to SchemeChecker ------------------------------- 1.4.3 - Jan 17, 1999 * The support for file/folder icons used in MacOS 8.5 was improved. 1.4 - 1.4.2: * Support is added for the new resources introduced in Kaleidoscope 2.1.1 and MacOS 8.5. * SchemeChecker now does a better job at checking schemes configured to be used only with Kaleidoscope 2.0 or later. It also allows schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new Kaleidoscope 2.0 resources in areas where the resource IDs don't overlap. * Kaleidoscope now checks the "Minimum Kaleidoscope version" entry in the Colr ID 129 resource for errors. * You can now make SchemeChecker automatically fix any unset System Heap and Purgeable bits. * When you select a different scheme in the Result window, the dis- played information no longer reverts to the "further info" field. * misc. bug fixes and improvements For more information, visit SchemeChecker's info page on the web: [Archived as /info-mac/gui/ks/scheme-checker-143.hqx; 195K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 08:59:35 -0700 From: support@fluxsoft.com Subject: [*] SmartKeys 3.4.1 SmartKeys 3.4.1 is a shareware control panel designed to help you type. SmartKeys does this in four ways. First, SmartKeys automatically corrects typing that violates conventional typesetting rules, such as typing more than one consecutive space. Second, SmartKeys automatically corrects fast typing errors, words that are often misspelled, such as "teh" for "the" and "THe" for "The". Third, it can require modifiers to engage the Caps Lock and the Help key, making them more difficult to press inadvertently. Finally, in case of a system crash, SmartKeys can keep a log of what was typed. Version 3.4 fixes a crashing but in the control panel under 3.3.1 and adds forward deletion to keyboards without such a key. (3.4.1 fixes a bug 3.4.)

But the strength of The Musician is its scanning ability: it may explore your HDs, CDs, folders, diskettes, files, searching for sounds to play. For example you may drag your disks on The Musician then continuing your normal work: The Musician will play, asynchronously and in background, any file of above that will find. According to your setting The Musician can play any sound immediately or after your consent, in this last case, whenever founds 'snd ' resources inside a file, it also conveys you how many sounds the file contains. In addition you may instruct The Musician to collect aliases of sound files, while it's playing, so you may enjoy them, when you want, without perform another search. The main window has a simple bar that meters the input level of the microphone, you may disable the bar through the preferences. At last The Musician may show the QuickTime=81 keyboard (for your fun!) and record new sounds in 'sfil' or 'AIFF' format. The Musician is Internet Config, Drag Manager and Navigation Manager aware, moreover it's Appearance savvy. It requires at least System 7 to run and uses QuickTime=81 to play some kind of files.

The object is to get three adjacent squares set to your color. These squares may be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. On your turn, click on any empty square to fill it with your color. Sound simple enough? Well, here's the trick: you may only have three squares occupied at a time. Once you click on a fourth square, the first one you selected becomes empty again, allowing your opponent to make a surprise move. You may play against another person or a computer player (with two levels of difficulty). The awesome sound effects were created by Jens Nilsson at Fadeout Studios. Requires Mac OS 7.0 or higher and 1024K RAM. Color monitor recommended.

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?" and "Did A live at the same time as B, or before?" A resource of over 1600 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. It now also has a "Find" window. Version 1.3 fixes two significant bugs: one which could cause the program to quit unexpectedly, and one which made printing impossible. Version 1.2 introduced user-defined "People" and "Events" menus, including full control over occupation and event type definitions and their icons. Twistory is a FAT binary, and requires system 7. It uses about 4.5 Mb of disk space, and needs about 2 Mb of RAM to run comfortably. With a large monitor or with several windows open, 4 Mb is better. Twistory is $10 (US or CAN) shareware. You may evaluate it for free. If you wish to buy it, you may send the payment to the address included with the program. If you desire support, please send your e-mail address along, and I will write back. This program is free for all users who have registered a previous version of it. J.
