ClockSync II 1.2.0 (by Jeremy Kezer). Author's email address: jbkezer@kagi.com If you have two or more Macintoshes, you probably notice that the clocks drift apart as time goes by. This can range from being a minor nuisance to a problem, especially if you do a lot of synchronizing between the Macintoshes. ClockSync II synchronizes the clocks between two or more Macintoshes, by setting the clocks of the "Servant"Macintoshes to that of a "Master" Macintosh. ClockSync has two components. The ClockSync Master runs continuously on the "Master" Macintosh, while the ClockSync Servant can be run on any other Macintosh on the network to update its time. All of my utilities can be registered through the Kagi shareware system. Version 1.2.0 has the following enhancements: - Added periodic synchronization option to the Servant.

CyberMozart is YAV's popular implementation of Mozart's "Musical Dice Game." You merely have to press the "Compose" button to create a new English Country Dance (there are trillions of possibilities). CyberMozart, will keep generating new pieces in the style of Mozart as long as you can keep pressing the Compose button. Other features include notation with scrolling playback, printing, saving as standard MIDI files and notation files, and real-time editing options for tempo, transposition, track volume, and instrumentation. CyberMozart version 3.0 can now save, recall, and print notation files along with both type 1 and type 0 standard MIDI files. The revamped user interface adds drag-and-drop and OS 8 support. A new installer makes it easier to get started. Note that MIDI Manager, while not required, is recommended and the installer will install this extension. CyberMozart is an example of algorithmic composition software. This program, which generates a Mozart-like country dance, is contrasted to its companion program PushBtnBach which uses a semantic description of a Bach minuet expressed in "YMTDL" ("YAV's Music Transformation Description Language"). Generating music from a model is an entirely different approach to that employed by CyberMozart (which simply simulates the tossing of dice to re-arrange existing musical fragments stored as MIDI chunks, much like the approach taken by many interactive music CD-ROMs which use digital audio chunks instead of MIDI). The pair of programs (PushBtnBach and CyberMozart) illustrate the difference between the infinite world of interactive music (PushBtnBach) and the finite world of interactive audio (CyberMozart). CyberMozart a great way to obtain license-free music for your multimedia production. Just be sure to mention how it was created.

Data sets can be entered into a spreadsheet window or imported from programs like Excel or extracted from text files. Arbitrary equations may then be fitted to the data and the fits displayed graphically. The equations can be defined by typing them as text and so the program is very flexible.

It will also allow the creation and formatting of 7 x 7, 6 x 6, and 5 x 5 matrices (or, for that matter, of any dimension from 2 x 2 through 12 x 12). Unlike the previous version (v 2.7), which was designed for use with Microsoft Word 6.0.x for the Macintosh, version 3.0 is a stand-alone version that requires no additional word-processing software. Any number of matrices can be created without exiting and re-initializing the application; this is particularly advantageous if the program is being used in a networked environment. Extensive documentation in HTML format can be viewed by utilizing any of the current Macintosh browsers. The file used to open the documentation is by default a Netscape HTML document, but in fact it can be used in conjunction with other browsers, such as Cyberdog, the authors' preferred browser, as long as the browser is properly configured (Internet Config is particularly useful for this purpose). "Matrix maker 3.0" will run on both 68K and PowerPC machines. This application, written by John Melby and Charles Melby-Thompson, is shareware It may be included on CD-ROM releases as long as it is included unchanged and in its entirety.

Menno's Organiser 1.0 FP3 is a full-featured Organizer where you can keep a To Do List, a Day Planner, track of your expenses, track of your work time, your cars mileages, charts on your contacts and write letters and faxes from. All this from a single file with a perpetual calendar, called "Organise.FP3". In every layout there is on line help available. What is required. *To work with this open the "Organise.FP3"-file. *Do not rename any of the files nor set an incorrect date in your System (If you do the organiser may notice that and may refuse to start up). *This file system needs at least Filemaker Pro3.0v4 or better to work. It will not work on older versions. *Set your monitor at 256 colours/grayscales or more and set the screen resolution at at least 800x600, if you don't the organizer will still launch but it will not be very smooth to use. *This will work on a MacOS=81 but also on a WinTel computer with Claris =46ilemakerPro3.0v4 or better installed. What is the story. I have been travelling very much and living in hotels the past 6 years and I needed to keep track work time, contacts, expenses, letters, drives with the car and lost more. So I started to develop this Organis(z)er that started as a simple expenses list in 1994 in Filemaker Pro=81 1.0 and has evolved into what I present to you here. In februari 1996 I started this file system totally new so I have put a tremendous amount of time and effort into it and I hope that you will enjoy and appreciate it. What does it cost. This is a demonstration copy that will expire (lock up) 90 days after using it the first time, expiring is the only restriction to it. If you would like to keep using this, pay the share ware fee of US$20.00. The information you need to register is completely available in the Organise.FP3 file. After I 've received your fee I send you a new copy that won't expire. Disclaimer If you use this, you do so entirely, totally, completely at your very, very own risk. I do not accept any liability and responsibility. ________New versions and Information If you need any information, help or just some advice (also on Filemaker in general) you can either contact me via E-Mail: mennob@euronet.nl or visit my website http://www.euronet.nl/~mennob where you can use my "Send Me Mail"-page and where you can download the newest version(s) of my Files. This version has improved over the 1.0 version in the following ways: 1) A bug in renewing the ToDoList has been removed; in some cases the TDL-item was moved to a new date when although it wasn't supposed to. 2) You can now connect address-charts to a ToDoList-Item. 3) The sort-portals features of FMPro 4.0 is now supported without the workaround of exporting and importing records, which is still needed (and used) if you run it under FMP 3.0 4) Several fixes "under the hood" that make the system more stable. 5) I've created a "wormhole" which makes it possible (still not that easy), to retrieve your data after the organiser has expired; mail me if you need the instructions for it.

Spike solves the stutter and glitch playback problems of CD-ROM and Web-based QuickTime files. Given a batch of QuickTime movies, Spike determines which among them will provide optimal playability from a range of deployment platforms and media. Offering many of the features of Apple's long-discontinued MovieAnalyzer, Spike is compatible with QuickTime 2.5 and beyond. Current QuickTime compression software reports the average data rate of files; many people mistakenly use this figure to make decisions about the suitability of compressed video for their playback targets. A QuickTime movie can have a perfectly acceptable average data rate while still containing data spikes that will seriously disrupt playback on any machine. Spike identifies these problems and offers a suite of options for controlling their detection. Other features include detailed data-rate graphs, "Spike Alerts" and reports in frames-per-second and SMPTE, several preview options, and batch processing. Version 1.6 addresses Macintosh OS 8 and OS 8.1 compatibility issues and fixes problems displaying some QuickTime datarate graphs of movies with more than 3000 frames. Spike now processes both Macintosh and cross-platform (datafork-only) movies created by all versions of QuickTime, including Quicktime 3.0.
