Subject: [*] Acid Daze Two.sit

Acid Daze Two is a messed-up font: broken down, but still readable. A
bit 'Raygun' in feel, perhaps. Good for headlines, and quotes. Use big
and bold, scattered accross your document for maximum effect. Also
includes samples of other fonts available. Look through the archive for
freeware fonts Cropper, Fontastic-samples, Rennacs and Scratch, too.

Subject: [*] Beached 1.3

After a mysterious boating accident, you find yourself stranded on a small
tropical island.  Life isn't so bad here: there's food, wood, and gold for
the taking, so why leave? Well, even paradise has its dark moments, and
this particular paradise is about to be wiped off the map by a hurricane.
Your newfound life of leisure has turned into a lesson in bare survival.
Avoid starving to death, chop wood, build a boat, and get off that sand
pile. Before you leave, you might even have enough time to line your
pockets with the gold that still litters the island.

Requires:
System 7.0 or later
68020 or faster
256 colours/greys

Version 1.3 includes an overhaul of the graphics and gives the user the
ability to move their player with the mouse.

Subject: [*] Beached II 1.1 (Tropical Adventure/Strategy Game)

Whilst travelling out on the open sea, your boat sinks.  You, and two
others are washed onto a tropical island.  The island is a paradise, with
trees, bananas, coconuts, and vines.  However, you suddenly remember the
long range weather forecast.  A tornado will form in this area in about
one week.

You must work hard to build a raft to get off the island, but also make
sure you keep alive by eating, drinking and sleeping.  The other survivors
must build their own rafts too.  You must decide if and when you help
them, or if you line your own pockets with gold.

This is, of course, the sequel to Beached. The object of the game is still
the same, but there have been major changes made to the gameplay.
There are now other survivors on the island controlled by the computer.
The sequel also has much better graphics, and some important improvements
to the interface.

Requires:
System 7.0 or later
68020 or later or PPC
256 colours/greys

Version 1.1 has an added 'Auto-Help' feature, making it easier for new
players to understand the game.  Also, clicking on your own player will
now bring up a popup menu, allowing an easier method to select menu items.

Subject: [*] ConvertMachine 1.0.2v1J - Japanese Version

This is the Japanese version of the ConvertMachine package.

ConvertMachine is a batch processing utility to convert sound format
files to a desired type.  This means it performs one or more of the
following without user interaction: decompression, resampling (sample
rate conversion), mixing (stereo to mono) and compression.

You don't need to worry about what format the file is in; all you
specify is the desired output format.

Finder Sound files (sfil), AIFF files, WAVE files, AU Mu-law and linear,
QuickTime Audio (Movies) and Sound Designer II files can be freely converted.

You can save your popular Settings under as a menu item or as a separate
Settings file.  The common web formats are flagged and  ready to use as
defaults, such as audio/basic mono 8kHz mu-law.

After conversion files can be automatically sent to SoundMachine for playing.

It needs at least QuickTime 2.1 and Apple's Sound Manager 3.1 or later.
If you have installed System 7.5.3 then, no worries, you have these. If
you want to get these or later extensions visit Apple's web site (grab
QuickTime 2.5 which includes Sound Manager 3.2.1).

Changes in version 1.2

*Added an Import/Export... item under the File menu which permits
importing of Audio CD tracks and the like (this feature was available in
1.0.6 but removed in 1.1).
*SoundDesigner II files with higher sample rates are now correctly exported.

share files with Windows-based computers, Macintosh users needing to work
on Windows computers, and users wishing to catalogue and analyse the
files on their computer.

Cross Platform includes full help files, context-sensitive ActiveHelp and
is fully multi-threaded (but doesn't need Apple Thread Manager). It
requires System 7, supports drag and drop, and is 680x0 and PowerPC
native.

Subject: [*] Easy Writer 3.5

No-nonsense handwriting program gives kids what they need

Kids need to see how letters are produced.  They can see the finished
product all around them every day. Easy writer draws whatever letter or
digit the user asks for in a realistic but completely correct way.  Sound
effects, an extra background, bombs and various inks give the kids just
enough control to keep doing it.

Easy Writer 1.0 was simple and fun way for kids to view animations of the
manuscript letters being drawn with correct stroke and rhythm, and even try
to imitate them on screen.

Easy Writer 2.12 was colorized and jazzed up with sounds.

Easy Writer 3.0 was a dog so you probably never saw it.

Easy Writer 3.5 is bilingual (Spanish/English), incorporates cursive, has
digits, and allows you to edit the alphabets.

Easy Writer has the following shareware pricing:
		* Single user license, $10 per CPU
		* Site License  $75 (roughly equal to 8 users) and covers all locations
for your organization within a 10 kilometer radius of your site.
  * You can easily register online or use your credit card to register by
email!

  FractalDesigner allows to generate extremely beautiful

  but the user can enter any other iteration. This is
  achieved through a very fast integrated interpretor. It is
  also possible to change the color palettes and to save them

too.   Naturally you can select whatever voices you want to sing soprano,
alto, tenor or bass.  Check out Boing on tenor with Zarvox on bass.  You
need Plaintalk 1.4 or better [free from Apple] and probably at least 4

one featuring an iMac running Apple's eWorld...

well... one can dream, can't one?  :-)

Please note: This pixelhaus iMac icon is freeware, but it is *not* in the
public domain. pixelhaus maintains all rights in perpetuity. You are free
to use this icon on your personal computer or on non-revenue-generating
personal websites, but it cannot be used commercially or re-distributed in
any way without express permission.

Permission is granted for inclusion on the commercially available Info-Mac
CD-ROM, as long as the entire file, ReadMe and all, is included with the
icon.

This includes incorporation into third party software and use in
Kaleidoscope Color Schemes.

The best idea is to ask us beforehand. We are usually fairly flexible.

If you do not know how to customize the icons on your Mac, there is a
wonderful tutorial on the the subject at the Iconfactory's website at:

Subject: [*] MacTypingTutor

MacTypingTutorDv4.5.1 replaces MacTypingTutorDv4.5, for Power Macs

Now with window graphics that show well on all Power Macs. Now with
typewriter sounds (turned on or off) that make your keyboard sound like a
real typewriter. Users with older Macs should download MacTypingTutor4.3 or
earlier versions; search with keyword: wroger.

MacTypingTutor Dvorak is great for beginning typing students. It lets you
use a keyboard layout designed for faster typing. For example, compare
typing the word "the" on Dvorak vs. typing "the" on the regular keyboard
(no hand movement necessary on Dvorak). Most modern computers will let you
type on Dvorak (if you set the machine for Dvarak typing). But just in
case, the Apple-approved Dvorak layout is included in this package (free
from the non-profit organization, Dvorak International). Just add it to
your System folder and it's there to be switched off or on, as needed.

MacTypingTutor itself uses five integrated work areas that together teach
correct finger placement and memorization of the keyboard keys. Practice
exercises focus on single letters, letter and number sequences, words,
sentences, paragraphs, and free typing. The program offers a spelling
checker, user-defined speed goals, score sheets, time tracking with rest
signals, and many other helpful features. MacTypingTutor comes in the
regular version, a special keyboard version (Dvorak), a French version, and
one-handed versions (left or right). This download is the regular version.

MacTypingTutor takes advantage of the recent Apple System Software
improvements for Power Macs.

MacTypingTutor let's you hide or show:  your typing, screen-keyboard, and
feedback reports. You can adjust difficulty level from very easy to hard
(this is a good feature for children). Program automatically remembers your
work-preferences from session to session.

All five modules in download version of MacTypingTutor work, although there
are features in each module that are limited is use. Download and begin by
testing your current typing speed. And if you choose to, hear what it
sounds like to type on a real typewriter.

Subject: [*] Midi Delay 3.0.1 fat-A Realtime Midi Effects Application

Midi Delay does many of the same things as a hardware digital delay and
more...The program uses hardware digital delay terminology (such as
delay time, decay and feedback) making it very intuitive to use for most
electronic musicians. In this version of Midi Delay the user gets 15
seconds of delay time, and 10,000 repeats (feedback) on the main delay
and 16 multitap delay sections that allow 15 seconds of delay time on
each tap and the ability to send the taps on different midi channels
and/or to different midi instruments. The multitap section can be fed to
the main delay for further processing and cool looping effects.
Controllers can be turned ON and OFF for each tap and the main delay via
Midi Delay's Controller Matrix window. The main delay and each tap can
be transposed up or down by as much as seven octaves in half step
increments. This version also sports a keyboard splitter, reverse decay
switches for all taps and the main delay, and sustain pedal control over
the reverse decay. Midi delay supports Apple's Quicktime Musical
Instruments v2.0 and higher as an output source. All settings in Midi
Delay can be saved as a preset file and loaded later for instant recall
of all parameters. Midi Delay can also save your favorite setup as a
default starting setup.

Requirements - A Mac with a 68030 processor or greater running System
7.5.1 and up with 6 megabytes of extra ram. Midi Delay is a fat binary
application, which means it has native code for both the 680xx family of
processors and the PPC family of processors (601's, 603's, 604's and G3
750's).   A 14 inch monitor or larger is recommended, but not required.
A midi sound module and midi controller are also required as well as a
midi interface to connect the controller/module to the computer. (Midi
interface, midi controller and sound module may be the same device or in
the form of computer software such as Quicktime Musical Instruments).
Midi Delay also requires Opcode's OMS v1.2.3 or higher (Current Version
- 2.3.5) or Apple's Midi Manager v2.0.2 or higher.

OMS v2.3.5 can be Downloaded for FREE from:
http://www.opcode.com/downloads/oms/mac/

Midi Manager 2.0.2 Download (FREE) from: http://swupdates.info.apple.com/

Using OMS 2.3.5 (or Opcode's Latest Version) with Midi Delay will
produce the best results and allow you to use all of Midi Delay's
features with a minimum of effort.

Subject: [*] ramBunctious 1.3.1 (a Mac OS RAM disk) Available Now

October 12, 1998 -- Clarkwood Software announces the immediate
availability of ramBunctious 1.3.1.

ramBunctious 1.3.1 is a shareware ($12) RAM disk program for the Mac OS.
Its rich set of features lets you customize your RAM disks for your
desired balance of speed, security, safety, and versatility.

- You can have several RAM disks mounted simultaneously, limited only
  by memory available.
- ramBunctious has a "write-through" option. When activated, everything
  written to the RAM disk is saved to a (real) file. This means that
  the next time you mount the RAM disk, all the contents are still
  there. This helps protect against data loss in the event of a crash
  or power failure.
- ramBunctious uses normal application memory. This means that when
  you're done using a RAM disk, that memory is available for other
  applications to use. In other words, you don't have to reboot to
  reclaim the memory.
- Each RAM disk may be configured to be mounted automatically during
  the computer's startup process.
- These options, and more, are fully user-configurable for each RAM
  disk via a status/settings window. In addition to the settings, the
  status window includes LED-like access indicators that flash when the
  RAM disk is being read from or written to.
- ramBunctious is fully AppleScriptable.

What is new in ramBunctious 1.3.1?

- Minor bug fixes
- Appearance overhaul

ramBunctious 1.3.1 is available now. Download links and more information
are available at the ramBunctious web site:

=46reecell (here named Napoleon), Montana, Canfield, 40 Thieves
and Pyramid. You will also find games you never played before.

=46eatures:
- Multi-step undo and redo.
- Key commands for highlighting legal moves or specific
groups of cards (e.g. all spades or all 5's).
- On-line rules for all games.
- Auto-saves the game when you quit.
- 13 different music scores.
- Supports individual user profiles for every user.
- Fills just about any Mac screen, from 9" to modern high-res screens!
- 5 card sizes, from tiny to the largest you ever saw on a Mac.
- Works on any Mac. (68040 or PPC recommended. System 6.0.7 and up.)

The game is shareware, $20.

Subject: [*] Which Number is Increasing?

Which Number is Increasing? is a fun shareware math game that is most
enjoyed by students from 1st to 3rd grade. The game was designed to help
teach general number pattern recognition skills. It runs on any Mac from
the Mac Plus on up.

This game breaks new ground in helping students develop their
"observational math" skills. The neat thing about the game is that it
promotes mathematical conversations between students and their
parents/teachers/mentors. It seems to have special appeal to
mathematically gifted students, but was designed for use by all students.

It's possible to use this game on a Mac without a hard drive, too.
Further info, including animated GIF screen shots, can be
found at the game's web page at:

Thanks are owed to Bernie Benson and Scott Fenton for bringing this game
