Unlike standard system QuickDraw patterns, you are not restricted to rectangular tilings with each side being an exact power of 2, and you can superimpose multiple patterns to produce nonrepeating combinations. You can apply effects like free rotations and colour shifts, depending on how the pattern is defined (samples are included). You can also import existing QuickDraw patterns from Texture Installer. New in this version: it can now tile a picture into a pattern, and change the colour of parts of a pattern. Also includes lots more sample patterns and some more sample scripts. Thank you.

Eclipse is a lean, mean, 100 percent PowerPC native screen saving machine that works great on 68K Macs as well. To eliminate the problem of extension conflicts, we designed Eclipse as an application so that it retains the benefits of extension-based screen savers while avoiding their propensity to cause problems.

The application has Mac-Draw like graphic entry of resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and all kinds of dependant or independant sources. Clusters of components can be assambled to subcircuits. The number of components in this freeware version is limited to 60. 15 types of independant sources (generators) are available, ranging from sine, step, pulse, or free (graphically entered) waveforms to those used in power electronics like pwm inverters and thyristor rectifiers. The sweep is plotted during the calculation. Intervention is possible to modify anything in the circuit, then the sweep can be resumed. Many sweeps can be displayed on one screen to see long term effecets, or to see what changed after a circuit modification. HICAP runs on any PPC or 68k mac, even under system 6.

You must have installed and configured OpenTransport 1.1.1 or greater and OT/PPP 1.0 or 1.01 and the Control Strip 1.3 or greater. You can also use ARA 3.0 instead of OT/PPP It is better that you don't check the "Load only when needed" option in 'TCP/IP', because 'OT/PPP CSM' needs TCP/IP to be loaded. If you check the option TCP/IP will be loaded during the startup process of 'OT/PPP CSM' and the option doesn't make sense.

Program description: YP Projectiles is a projectile motion simulator designed for physics teachers and students. To simulate a trajectory, the user chooses the initial velocity (magnitude and direction), the vertical displacement component and the gravitational acceleration. The software then draws the parabolic trajectory and writes its main characteristics: range, maximum height reached, etc. During the simulation, it is possible to display three vectors: acceleration, velocity and position, and three graphs: acceleration, velocity and position versus time. Many trajectories can be superposed in the same window, in the same scale. Trajectories, numerical data and graphs may be printed or copied to be used in other software. Trajectories may be also saved as PICT files. Required Hardware and Software: YP Projectiles runs on any Macintosh computer with Mac OS 7.0 or later. It needs about 250 Kb on your hard disk and 1,3 Mb of RAM. The software runs on older Macs with 68000 processors (Mac Plus, Mac Classic), but simulations are slower.

YP Projectiles est un simulateur de mouvement parabolique destine a l'apprentissage de la physique. Pour simuler une trajectoire, l'utilisateur choisit la vitesse initiale (intensite et orientation), la composante verticale du deplacement et l'acceleration gravitationnelle. Le logiciel trace alors la forme de la trajectoire parabolique, et affiche ses principales caracteristiques: portee, hauteur maximale atteinte, etc. Pendant la simulation, il est possible d'afficher les vecteurs acceleration, vitesse et position, ainsi que les graphiques de l'acceleration, de la vitesse ou de la position en fonction du temps. Plusieurs trajectoires peuvent etre superposees dans la m=EAme fenetre, a la meme echelle. Les trajectoires, les donnees numeriques et les graphiques peuvent etre imprimes ou copies pour etre utilises dans d'autres logiciels. On peut egalement enregistrer les trajectoires sous forme de fichiers PICT. Appareillage requis: YP Projectiles fonctionne sur n'importe quel ordinateur Macintosh fonctionnant sous MAC OS 7.0 ou mieux. Il necessite peu d'espace sur le disque rigide (environ 250 Ko) et exige 900 Ko de m=E9moire vive. Le logiciel est compatible avec les anciens modeles munis d'un microprocesseur 68000 (Mac Plus, Mac Classic), mais les simulations sont plus lentes.
