Kamprath" To: Subject: [*] Program Switcher v5.5.1 I am pleased to announce that Program Switcher v5.5.1 has been released. Program Switcher is a convenient timesaving control panel that allows you to switch between the applications running on your System 7.1 or greater Macintosh via a simple two-key keystroke. It was inspired by the same function found in "Windows," but has been improved and transformed into a unique and fully configurable control panel that makes switching applications on the Macintosh as simple as pressing a couple of keys. Key features include: - The ability to switch, launch, quit, or hide any application with a simple keystroke - The ability to switch, hide, or close windows with a simple keystroke - Full support for the latest MacOS technologies, such as Appearance, Navigation Services, and Multiple Users. - Elegant, unobtrusive interface that makes the seemingly simple task of switching applications truly simple and easy to do. - A powerful suite of user configurable hot keys, including such actions as "Open File" and "Quit All Applications". Program Switcher can be downloaded from it's web page at: http://www.programswitcher.com/ Version 5.5.1 fixes two bugs with the hot keys feature: - Bug which allowed more than one hot key have the same keystroke - Bug were certain hot key preferences were lost [Archived as /info-mac/gui/program-switcher-551.hqx; 762 K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 22:13:02 -0500 From: Chaz Larson To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: file type changes >For some reason all my stand alone text files have been converted to >Teach Text from Simple Text. TeachText and SimpleText have the same creator, and their documents have the same type. Both have creator 'ttxt', and text files created by them have type 'TEXT'. Read-only documents, in both cases, have type 'ttro'. SimpleText does know about a bunch of other types of documents, but SimpleText can read everything TeachText could read. >As a result , I can't open them. Does >anyone have any ideas about this and how I might be able to change >them back? Specifically what's happening? I just opened a document under 9.0.4 using the copy of TeachText that came with System 7.0. Worked fine. I suspect you just need to rebuild your desktop, but that's just a blind guess. chazl -- Once you take away my right to speak, everybody in the world's up shit creek. - Ice-T; Freedom Of Speech [just watch what you say] Chaz Larson - chaz at visi dot com - http://www.visi.com/~chaz ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 16:00:43 +0200 From: Johannes Weitzel To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: G3 b/w & 100base ethernet :-( Hello out there! After switching my G3 b/w with system 8.5.1 to 100MBit network in our company, I have difficulties in elegant booting the machine: about 5 seconds _after_ the finder has startet a dialog is opened: "The network is _now_ accessable". This means, that up to that moment, there is somthing wrong with network services. For we are using Leonardo LeoShare (ISDN server), too, this service is not mounted automatically any longer, the same for all file servers. The situation is very bad, for I'm running several other Mac servers (e.g. FileMaker), and if they reboot, they will stuck with this dialog. Any ideas? Many thanks for your attandance.

That person may be interested to know that Refurb Madness has PrintMaster Gold 4.0 for $4.99 + $4 shipping. I have no idea whether it does greeting cards as well as Print Shop, but it's pretty darned cheap. No affiliation, blah blah blah. FWIW. chazl -- Where's my angel?
