The 'clut' is Apple's 'Color Look Up Table' and is used generally in graphics environment. For example, the palette animation is done by rotating color entries in the CLUT attached to some image. CLUT Maker shows not only the color table, but also color components in some color models: HSV, HSL, CMY, and RGB. As CLUT Maker supports importing and exporting of Photoshop's 'CLUT', you can use this application just as an clut converter. It also supports 8-bit CLUT of NIH Image, MPW Rez, and TEXT. CLUT Maker can retrieve the color info from a PICT using color-picking methods.

MacUser Utility of the Year 1996 and America Online's Mac Utility 1996 Shareware Award Winner and Shareware Junkies Mac Program of the Year 1997 **MacOS 8 compatible! **Full Drag & Drop compatibility! **Use up to 100 independent clipboards by menu or simple key commands! **View and access all the clipboard using the CopyPaste Palette! **Append text to 1 of 10 files on disk at any time! **Process text, picture and net data on the Clipboards in many ways! **Use a command key to switch and/or view all applications! **New pop-up palette function and more! One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do copy and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the Mac's system software that have changed and progressed over the years, copying and pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found yourself going back and forth copying in one application and pasting in a different application, wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to another application and paste each of these items. Now you can with a vengeance! NEW FEATURES Changes In Version 4.2.1 * bug fixes: - those who use the Dvorak keyboard layout can now use CopyPaste - Renaming Archives and Clip Sets now save - other minor bug fixes * the "Use Popup Palette" feature can be toggled on and off by option-click on the zoom box of the Palette. Changes In Version 4.2 * A new option in the preferences "Use Popup Palette" when turned ON allows the Palette to collapse automatically to icon size when the mouse is not over it, and expand to normal size simply by pointing to the CopyPaste icon. This is a very handy way to have the Palette available all the time. * The Palette is now resizable. * ClipViewer, ClipExtender and small zoomed Palette can now each have their individual size and position which is remembered thru restarts. So you can view the clip in a large window which is centered on the screen without repositioning the Palette in its ClipExtender state. * Clips can be trashed in the Clip Viewer mode. * A new color screenshot utility can be found in the picture utilities menu.

While most of us know this is not entirely true, there is a mentality out there that is very difficult to overcome. The MacOS can do most of the things Windows can, and in many cases can do them better. However, believe it or not, I have heard many people complain that they don't like to use the MacOS because it doesn't have a "Run" function. Phooey! The "Run" function of Windows is one of the most inefficient things I've ever seen when it comes to computer interface design. However, I'm not going to ignore the "Windoze Whiners." In this case, I'm going to one-up them. MacRun is my answer. It, very simply, adds the same functionality to the MacOS that the "Run..." command gives Windows. It is also much more configurable than its Windows counterpart as well as much more powerful. When installed, MacRun will appear very familiar to those Windows users that desire the "Run..." command. After a bit of use, they won't know how they could ever stand the Windoze "Run..." command! This is the FINAL release of the newest version of MacRun (1.1). MacRun requires a 68020 Mac running System 7.5 (7.1 with Thread Manager installed) or better. Future updates to MacRun will be available at the SearchWare Solutions web-site (http://www.radiks.net/search).

In simple terms, Type and Creator signitures are the codes by which the Mac OS associates files with applications. They also effect the icon which a file displays on the desktop. It can be useful to be able to change these if you, for example, have a bunch of text files which you saved while surfing the World Wide Web. The trouble is that you don't want to have to open them opening in your web browser every time you double click them - you want to open them with a great text editor like BBEdit, so you change the files type and creator codes so that when you double click on your text files they open straight into BBEdit. You're not changing anything about the actual file, just what program the Finder thinks they were made with. Mini Conversion is also compact so that you can leave it running in the corner of your monitor while you work :) System Requirements: Drag and Drop (System 7.5+) [Archived as /info-mac/disk/mini-conversion-10.hqx; 120K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Jun 1998 14:10:33 -0700 From: brian@steampunk.demon.co.uk Subject: [*] MintE Kaleidoscope Colour Scheme MintE is a basic light grey Colour Scheme with a hint of mint, designed for Kaleidoscope 1.5 and above.

It gives small previews and basic information about the image. The name is somewhat misleading but a button to move the current image to the Trash is provided. PictTrasher should run on any Mac running System 7 or better provided that QuickTime 2.5 (3.0 preferred) or better is installed. Version 1.1.1 adds a Previous button to main dialog, fixes the folder scanning problem and has some more internal changes (prepared for the next OS release).
