Learn the wonderful songs of birds using the power of the Macintosh.
Learn to identify them by their songs. Package including parts 1 and 2
contain the Bird Songs application and four sets of birds, including
common birds, woodpeckers, and sparrows. Review the birds, listen to
their songs, and see their pictures. Then shift into game mode.
Challenge  yourself in a game where the computer plays a random bird
song and you must identify the bird by the song. You can also select
background mode, where the program can be instructed to play random bird
songs while you use your computer  to do other things. A great way to
sharpen your birding ear! Bird Songs will play on any Macintosh more
modern than the SE, using  system 6.0.5 or better.

This is Part 2 of Bird Songs and contains many more bird songs. It has
not changed since version 1.0.2, so you may not need to download this
file. You need Part 1 to play these birds, however.

you can now make your list in alphabetical order.

Subject: [*] blood-bath-191-demo.sit

Blood Bath, a critically acclaimed shooter for the Mac is now available
for only $19.95. Check out our web page at:  http://www.uwgames.com  for
all the details. Or download this demo (for PPC or 68k) to see what all
the fuss is about.

Version 1.91 fixes a bug that crashed some computers when the monitor
wasn't set to 256 colors when starting the game.

The reviews are in...

*Shooter of the year (runner up) - That includes all platforms: Mac, PC,
and home game systems. 1st place went to "Virtua Cop" for the Saturn
Electric Playground - Best of '95

"Blood Bath is crude and amoral. Yummy." "one of the most engrossing and
difficult shooters we've seen for a very long time." Ultimate Gamer

"Mac owners with itchy trigger fingers will want to wallow in this
addictive free-for-all." 4 stars!!! Steve Klett, Electronic
Entertainment

"...the sort of unceasingly violent entertainment that Bob Dole would
probably hate, except that it's criminals your sheriff is blowing
away...Bath uses some proprietary video tricks cooked up by Underworld
to move the bad guys around the screen seamlessly in a full-screen
window with no blurring or redraw delays...the game ran as well on a
two-year-old PowerBook as on a PowerMac 7100" Rob Pegoraro, The
Washington Post

System requirements: * 3-4 MB of free RAM * Color Mac * PPC or 68k Mac

Subject: [*] BOOM-101.hqx

BOOM 1.0.1

BOOM is an arcade game in the grand tradition, bringing the playability
and feel of the glorious 8-bit consoles on the Macintosh. It can be
described as "Bomberman meets Doom". Actually, I took the basic
Bomberman idea and dropped it in a "Super-Deformed Doom" scenario
(whatever this means). If you don't know what Bomberman and Doom are,
definitely you've never played a computer game. This is the right time
to start.

BOOM's main features are: - Smooth sprite based animations in 256 colors
- 8 different soundtracks and multi-channel sound effects - Simultaneous
two players action - 80 different levels - 10 different enemy characters
varying in intelligence and weaponry - Mid-game monsters and a final
Super Boss

System Requirements 68030/040 or PowerPC; 4.5 MBytes free memory; Mac OS
7.0.1 or later; 640x480 or larger monitor supporting 256 colors; Sound
Manager 3.0 or later.

Recommended Configuration Fast (25Mhz or better) 68040 or PowerPC; Mac
OS 7.5.x or later; Sound Manager 3.2 or later on PPC machines.

What's new in BOOM 1.0.1? - Recompiled with CodeWarrior=81 11. -

Distribution BOOM is US$15 shareware (single user license, site and
world-wide licenses available). You can distribute BOOM freely, provided
that you leave the software and the accompanying documentation
unchanged.

I give permission for this program to be included on the Info-Mac

Subject: [*] DiskSurveyor 1.3 - Handy new feature!

Subject: disk-surveyor-131.sit

Now getting rid of those disk-hogging files from your hard drive is even
easier!

With the latest version of DiskSurveyor, you can still click on a folder
and zoom in to see what's inside...  but now, for the first time, you can
Shift-click on the folder to open up the ACTUAL folder... allowing you to
easily drag the offending items to the trash!

Also, it now adjusts the layout for volumes that return an incorrect number
of bytes allocated.  This also solves the compatibility issue with
driver-level compression programs, which return the original -UNCOMPRESSED-
number of bytes the file had, instead of the actual -COMPRESSED- number of
bytes the file takes up.

DiskSurveyor doesn't promise to make your hard drive any bigger, but it
does show you, GRAPHICALLY, what or who's hogging all that space.  Click on
a folder and zoom in for a closer look.  Or zoom back out.  And with the
press of a key, you can create DiskSummary files that list all the files
found on CDROMs or any other volume.  No longer will you have to waste
valuable time navigating through folder after folder trying to figure out
which files need to be archived or trashed to free up precious disk space.

DiskSurveyor.  An exciting new way to look at your hard drive and CDROMs.

Subject: [*] eclectic CDEF Collection 1.0

The eclectic CDEF Collection is a set of 2 freeware CDEFs (control
definition functions) written in Pascal, the Celsius CDEF and the Gauss
CDEF.

CDEF stands for "control definition function": it is a way to define the
appearance and the behavior of custom controls. Custom controls may be
dials, gauges, sliders, and so on. CDEFs may be used by almost every
Macintosh software and by practically every development environment and
programming language.

The Celsius CDEF implements a thermometer- or barber pole-style progress
bar similar to that used by the Finder in the Copy or Find windows.
Additional options allows you to honor custom colors stored in 'cctb'
resources, to draw the bar always in the active look ignoring
deactivations, and finally to display the bar with a 3D-like "inset"
effect, as shown in the develop 15 article "Working in the Third
Dimension".

The Gauss CDEF draws application-specified blocks of text. It can draw
simply the control's title, append a numeric value to it or draw a block
of text up to 32K set up by the calling application. Optionally the
Gauss CDEF can also honor 'cctb' resources, draw the text with the
owning windows' text font, size and style, and draw a 3D-like effect
(inset or raised).

The eclectic CDEF Collection consists of

- two CDEFs: the Celsius CDEF and the Gauss CDEF - two 'stubs' to allow
source-level debugging of the CDEFs: StubCDEF and JumpCDEF - some
utility routines - a demonstration application for the CDEFs

The eclectic CDEF Collection is written by:

Subject: [*] Escape_Velocity.hqx

Check your calendar: It's 2246, and the galaxy just isn't what it used
to be. Spacefaring pirates roam free, civil war rages, and simple
traders cheat death to make a living. Welcome to life in the 23rd
century!

Ambrosia Software's Escape Velocity puts you smack-dab in the middle of
that booming galaxy. As the captain of a shiny new spacecraft, you make
your fortune and build your empire. If that sounds like a walk in the
park, you're in for a surprise - dangers abound!  Your lowly shuttle
craft will need more than a little luck to make a profit... and survive.

Lovingly hand-crafted by programmer Matt Burch, Escape Velocity offers a
rich and open-ended environment that evolves as you play. Over a hundred
worlds occupy the galaxy, each with its own technology, alliances, and
commodities. As you earn credits and gain fame, Confederation peace
keepers and Rebel patriots struggle for power, leaving you in the
middle.

Escape Velocity spans a number of genres, combining elements of classic
"trading" games, arcade space shoot-outs, and strategy simulations.
Whether you choose to build a trading empire, aid the Rebellion in a
civil war, or strike out on your own as a ruthless pirate, Escape
Velocity provides a multitude of options for the game connoisseur. This
open-ended gameplay allows each player to chart their own course as they
play; there's no "right" way to play Escape Velocity, as long as you
have fun!

Numerous sub-plots fill Escape Velocity's world; your choices affect the
story's development, guaranteeing that each game will be different from
the last. You'll have the opportunity to infiltrate hostile military
bases, ferry emergency supplies to distant star systems, rescue
passengers from stranded cruise ships, stop alien invaders, and more. In
addition, Escape Velocity sports an open game engine. Future scenario
designers will be able to create their own worlds for other players to
explore. Escape Velocity runs on any Mac with a 640x480 color monitor
and 5.8 megabytes of free RAM. Optimized for the PowerMac, it's
lickety-split smooth on Apple's latest iron. And of course, Escape
Velocity has the dazzling 3D rendered graphics, full stereo sound, and
all the polish that you'd expect of an Ambrosia game.

Price: $20.00 Requires: 256 Color Screen, 13" or Greater; 040 or PowerPC
recommended

Subject: [*] EV_Update_105.hqx

Ambrosia Software, Inc. has just released an Escape Velocity 1.0.5
Updater. This updater only works if you already have an earlier version
of Escape Velocity. If you do not already have Escape Velocity, you need
to download the complete Escape Velocity 1.0.5 package.

This updater brings Escape Velocity up to Escape Velocity 1.0.5, the
latest version which contains a number of bug fixes and adds a few
features. All of the files in the Escape Velocity 1.0.5 Update should be
extracted into your existing Escape Velocity folder to properly upgrade
Escape Velocity to version 1.0.5.

The following is a list of the bugs that were fixed in Escape Velocity
1.0.5:

-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes negatively affect your legal status
when destroying pirates and aliens

-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes kill off pilots for no apparent
reason (pilot files from 1.0.4 or before affected by this problem can
now be used again)

-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes make hyperspace lines disappear from
the map

-- Selling the current weapon will cause it to be deselected if
necessary

-- Escort ships' fighters are no longer catatonic

-- New, more-detailed graphics for all ships

-- Beam weapons should no longer leave stray pixels behind

Finder Windows requires System 7 or higher. Portions of Finder Windows
will run native on PowerMacs if you have one. Finder Windows 1.2.2 fixes
a few bugs in Finder Windows 1.2.1. It includes all the features of
version 1.2.1, such as an optional menu icon, an optional startup icon,
menu shortcut customization, and balloon help. It also alphabetizes the

Subject: [*] Nisus Indexing Macros

Nisus Indexing Macros

Nisus Writer is a superb word processor with powerful capabilities,
but...

I have been bothered by the way that Nisus Writer generates indexes. It
lists every single page on which a marked item occurs. This leads to the
creation of indexes with entries such as:

Dogs...1,2,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,30,31,32,100,101,102

I have written a macro to collapse such entries according to the method
prescribed by the 13th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, section
8.67. For example, the entry above would be rendered:

Dogs...1,2,7-15,30-32,100-102

(The full method is actually more complex than this, and I have fully
implemented it).

Along with that macro, I've developed some others to facilitate creating
indexes. Perhaps the most useful ones are for marking proper names for
indexing. If, for example, you have the names "Alfred E. Neuman," "Billy
Bob Smith," and "Wild Bill Hickock," simply select all these names and
run a macro to mark each for the index as follows:

Neuman, Alfred E. Smith, Billy Bob Hickock, Wild Bill

images and saves them directly to PICT, GIF, and JPEG files.  Screen
Catcher also performs color reduction and palette modification, making
preparation of images for web or print publication a one-step process.

Screen Catcher enables users to:

-  Precisely select an area before capturing an image, including making
single-pixel adjustments with the arrow keys -  Capture pulled down
menus -  Read and write progressive JPEG files -  Read and write GIF
files with interlacing and transparency -  Convert images to the
standard 216-color web browser palette, Microsoft Windows (R) palette,
Macintosh color or grayscale palettes, or an optimally chosen color
palette -  Reduce or change color palettes automatically - Automatically
name and save image files to any folder -  Copy and paste, drag and
drop, and undo operations -  Generate URLs for images, including WIDTH
and HEIGHT tags

Screen Catcher operates on any Macintosh or compatible running System 7
or higher, and is accelerated for PowerPC. In addition to the standard
internet archives, information and updates are available at:

Subject: [*] SpikeInstaller104 (abstract)

Spike, by YAV Interactive Media (http://www.yav.com) is the first
batch-processing data-spike detection and analysis tool for QuickTime
movies. 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.

Subject: [*] virtual-maze-book-lite-11

During the past few years my playing with maze creation using a Mac has
resulted in two books of mazes published by Dover (_Fascinating Mazes_
in 1993, and _Maze Madness_ in 1996). There are great many ways to have
the computer organize randomness into a maze, and some are more
interesting than others. In this lite version only two very limited
methods are included. (Hey, it's free so don't complain.)  The program
is not crippled in any other way (it saves and prints, and probably
comes complete with the bugs of the original as well.)

The documentation includes information on how to upgrade to the full
version of the package, which one can consider a zillion-paged maze
book.

The Virtual Maze Book (lite) may be included on CD-ROMs.
