The great old Billiards. There's no game like it. Embark on a simple game of 8-ball. It's a one-on-one alternating barhopping trip, except there's no bar and you don't actually go anywhere. The point of the game is to have fun and burn time. If you're really good, you may want to burn your opponent too, maybe get a new pair of shoes. You always use the white ball to knock the colored balls into the dark holes in the ground. The last ball that the big white ball has to knock down is the pure black ball. Hey, I didn't develop it, blame that on the French. With two people, the purpose of the game is similar, now you have to knock out all the balls of your style (the first solid or stripe knocked out determines that), then axe out the 8-ball. You can reposition the cue ball if your opponent pocketed it, or if you're particularly inclined to cheating.

(This application is a fat binary that runs native on both Power Macs and 68k Macs.) HyperSlider is a shareware-program ($10) written by Wolfgang Thaller. It is a tool for creating and viewing interactive (and serial) slide shows and presentations with hyperlinks between the slides. Just command-drag a rectangle on a slide to create a hyperlink! In addition you can - add movies to your shows - place text and graphics on your slides - link sounds to the transitions - create stand-alone players (registered users only) - choose among many transition effects - and much more HyperSlider tries to preload slides into memory for better performance. Note: The slides cannot be created or changed with HyperSlider, they have to be prepared in PICT-format by another program. Iit is also possible to view slides directly from a Photo CD. The folder HyperSlider 1.8.5 contains the application, a user-manual and an Apple Guide file for on-line help. If you want to view the demo show described in the manual you should get the demo slide collection "hyper-slider-demo-show.hqx", which is posted separately. Version 1.8.5 should give you better stability, more cursors, and a possibility to point to files that "cannot be found". For more details see the enclosed ReadMe file.

MacSpeaker makes use of the Macintosh sound hardware so that you do not need an expensive Analog-Digital conversion card. You only need a measuring microphone and perhaps a microphone amplifier. You will get a professional measuring system at a fraction of the price of comparable systems! Because the Macintosh has excellent sound hardware, the measurement accuracy of MacSpeaker is comparable to professional systems: 44.1 kHz 16-bit sampling; that is, CD quality. MacSpeaker controls all important loudspeaker measurements: From the measurement of the impulse response, a Fourier transform computes the frequency response of the loudspeaker (absolute and phase). Measurement errors due to unavoidable sound reflection from the walls can be filtered out. Thus, with MacSpeaker, you can measure the "frequency response in an anechoic chamber." Additionally, MacSpeaker can compute a so-called "waterfall diagram": this reveals the resonance behavior of the loudspeaker plotting time over frequency and amplitude. As a special feature, MacSpeaker can use an optional user-defined signal as measurement signal. Thus, for example, you can make burst or distortional measurements. With a little bit of imagination, you can fulfill your various desires. MacSpeaker is also available in german. Send any questions or comments to .

My program and recommended hardware will get you some of the features of the new mp2000 in case you are waiting for the 2010 with more speech recognition like I am. I made a little program to make all the newton message pads be able to talk just a little (I may work out a crude phonetics newtonscript plugin later). You may recall they didn't support pict 2's and after I did they came up with newton press which I enjoyed pict 2's in. I hope I maybe inspire them again. My tiny program takes a system 7 file, the kind you get by dragging an alert from the system or convert from a simplesound recording with freeware SoundApp 2.2.3, and turns it into a slurpee file that can be put into the newton sound soup with newton running slurpee. To see that the sound works, you might use bitsound, freeware available on Steve Weyer's pages. Well, now I've gotten "line in" for <$1000. What about lineout? Used radio shack telephone pickup on tiny newton speaker (Radio Shack Cat. No. 44-533 B with 1/8 " miniplug). About $6. Radio Shack also has $10 tiny amplifier-speaker for phone pickups that works admirably with above (if you set the volume down a bit to miss processor noise), Catalogue # 277-1008C. I continue to develope a gps navigation program for the trimble scoutmaster connecting with NMEA sentences. Few people own such an expensive gps unit, so I am, so far, my only beta tester. Speech recognition and synthesis will go nicely with my program.

Red Buttons is the successor to Red Plastic, my first Kaleidoscope color scheme, and should replace Red Plastic in the Info-Mac Archive. Red Buttons adds support for Kaleidoscope 1.5.x. In addition, it comes with a set of silver 3-D system icons and a set of red cursors that blend well with my color scheme. Ever since Kaleidoscope first came out in beta, I have been tinkering with my own color scheme, combining features found in some of the original plugins and in some of the schemes that have since been posted to the net. Red Buttons combines red plastic pushbuttons similar to those used in the "sherbet" scheme with the basic gray plastic window color of the original Aaron. There are many enhancements, however, so you'll have to download Red Buttons and try it out for yourself. Red Buttons is funware. If you like it, enjoy it.

Spike offers many of the features of Apple's unsupported MovieAnalyzer, although Spike is updated for QuickTime 2.5 and beyond. Spike includes a suite of options that give you complete control over QuickTime data rate spikes. Spike can process batches of QuickTime files as large as you like. Most QuickTime software reports an average data rate after compression. Many people use this figure to make the decision about playability on their target platform. Problems are caused by the fact that the average data rate does not tell you anything about momentary data-spikes which may occur in a movie. A movie that reports an average data rate of 150k can still have many spikes in excess of 500k. Such spikes will cause playback from CD-ROM or the web to stutter or glitch. Spike will identify these problems.

A friend of mine lives in an area where the caller ID tone or signal is apparently different than the normal one, and /doesn't/ disconnect her modem. This is a good thing... technically. Unfortunately, she needs to be kicked off when another call comes in, and her modem doggedly clings to the line, leaving hel clueless about incoming messages. Is there any way to increase the sensitivity of a modem using init strings, or tweak things such that it does disconnect? She's /not/ turning off caller ID when she dials... that's known. --Jeff Eaton eaton@wwa.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 16:23:24 -0400 From: Randall Meadows Subject: Mount multiple CD's from 1 volume?

Presumably these are folders created by dragging the CD to the hard disk. You can use ShrinkWrap 2.x or DiskCopy 6.1.2 to create disk images of the CDs, which will then mount and look just like a regular volume. Using DiskCopy 6.1.2, you can store these disk images in a read-only compressed format, which can save a significant amount of space [be prepared to wait a while for the compression to occur, however]. chazl 04.24.97 -------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 23:16:18 -0500 From: "A.

I seem to have created a repeating To Do item that has no terminal date on it; every day I am reminded to write a homework assignment for a class I finished teaching a month and a half ago.

I've been having troubles running Word 5.1a on my PB540 with the PPC upgrade. It seems like the system isn't grabbing more memory to do whatever it has to do when Word is opened. There is plenty of RAM left, but the system won't take it. Does anyone know how to solve this?

This is not my main, or even second Mac, so don't tell me to replace it--I'm going to use it at my vacation home to get some coding done. I remember hearing about some low-level browser that would run eating less RAM than Netscape, etc. Where can I get a suitable tool. Recommendations for other early versions of things like Newswatcher, etc. would be welcome too: just remember the highest priority is saving disk space and RAM. Is there a site where somebody has put together Internet tools for the seriously old Mac for downloading?
