It can be configured to delete the disk caches periodically or every time it is run. Deleting the web browser caches will regain valuable hard drive space. Also, the system's Desktop files won't have to keep track of the hundreds of individual cache files. Cache Killer requires AppleScript, which is included with System 7.5 or later. Cache Killer is freeware, and may be freely distributed and copied so long as it is not modified and all Read Me documents are included with all distributions. If you wish to include any version of Cache Killer on a CD-ROM or floppy disk collection, you must get permission from the author. Cache Killer was created by Scott Harralson.

The Caveman Sound System is a high-level library of C routines for playing sound on the Macintosh. These routines were designed with games in mind, but could be used for other purposes as well.

When Netscape designed its first-generation browsers, it included a layer of directory buttons pointing to services that varied depending on where and how you obtained the browser. The only problem is that Netscape didn't give users a way to edit the title and destinations of those buttons, and most of the time the buttons remained hidden and useless. Navigator Enhancer allows you to edit this information, so you can substitute your favorite Web pages and services for the ones supplied by Netscape. A word of caution, though: make sure you've exited your browser and made a backup copy of your browser before using this application. This version adds support for some special v2.0.2 of the Navigator. This one is US$3 / DM 5,- shareware.

RAM disks are a convenient way to achieve high performance in many applications. Hard drive accesses are hundreds of times slower than memory accesses. RAM disks set aside an amount of memory that the system can then use as a "normal" hard drive, floppy drive, or any other storage device -- except that they're much faster. ramBunctious maintains the advantages and eliminates the disadvantages of most RAM disk programs. Several options let you customize for your desired balance of speed, security, safety, and versatility. For example, you can set it to write through to a file on a (real) disk for safety in the event of a crash. You can mount as many RAM disks as you wish (or as many as you have memory for) simultaneously. ramBunctious uses the same memory that applications use, so the memory used for each RAM disk is instantly available for other applications as soon as the RAM disk is put away. ramBunctious 1.1.2 is a maintenance update. System 7.6.1 introduced a conflict with huge FSWrite's on some configurations; ramBunctious now implements huge FSWrite's as a series of smaller FSWrite's to avoid the problem.

The News protocol is ideally suited to public discussion, and RumorMill is designed to make it easy to create (and remove) local or shared Newsgroups. RumorMill (and other NNTP) servers can easily be linked together to create a wide spanning communication network. RumorMill is ideal for business groups, schools, universities and any one else who is interested in a simple, scalable and widely supported means of providing group discussion. RumorMill can easily mix USENET newsgroups with local or off-site newsgroups which can be selectively pulled or fed from multiple servers. RumorMill can be Remotely Administered, supports Newswatcher Prefs and Newsrc files and it has a small memory footprint. Amongst other security features RumorMill has Site Restrictions which can be used to prevent off-site (based on TCP/IP address) computers accessing the server. RumorMill requires Mac OS System 7.0 or later and is US$35 shareware. Site and organisation-wide licenses are also available. More details are available from our web site at including documentation and press releases. Enjoy, Peter.

This makes it easy to see what's in the stack and to access any of the cards. 2) Categories can be created by the user to organize URLs into groups. The list view in the Index card can display all URLs or just those for for any category. 3) A URL can be copied from the stack to the Clipboard simply by clicking on the name in the Index list. New features in version 1.1: * If a URL is in the Clipboard when a new card is made, the URL is automatically pasted into the URL field of the new card. * The URLs can be exported to an HTML file, either for a single category or for all URLs arranged by categories.

To learn more about the 'Verbs & Nouns' databases, download the program 'Verbs & Nouns' which is available from the same places as this application.

Comments are useful for storing examples of the use of the word, or for recording other information. You can use different fonts and styles in the comment box. The facility for merging databases makes it easy to share comments with other users. The program has an exercise window.

The following script: tell application "Finder" set AppleTalk to false end tell ...doesn't work because the Chooser/Finder in system 7.6.1 (open transport) apparently doesn't recognize "AppleTalk" as something to be manipulated. My application is to make sure that AppleTalk is turned off upon bootup (by placing the AppleScript application in the Startup Items folder) to insure that it will not interfere with digital audio editing applications. AppleTalk introduces clicks in recordings and I always forget to turn AppleTalk off (after using Netscape or Fetch) between sessions.

David, We had a heavy-duty multi-platform QMS printer at Earlham for a while. It had an IP address, and you could ftp a file to it for printing. ftp may be the way Apple's 640/12 does it, too. Since you have a simple way of setting the IP address, why not try it and see?

We just switched providers because our original ISP's software didn't allow the 'leave mail on the server' option. It was a bbs-type setup that does provide POP and SMTP, but once the mail was read on one machine,the only way you could re-read it was to connect via Z-Term. Our present ISP has the kind of setup described, where you can tell Eudora to leave mail on the server and retrieve it from multiple machines.

The problem, as explained to me, was the power supply was bad. It supposedly has somthing like 3 power outs to various parts of the LW. The part that failed for us was the power to the fuser(the real clue was that it didn't get warm/hot). The repair cost us about $250 parts and labor. Hope this helps. Your mileage may vary.

I'm running 7.6.1, Iomega Driver 5.0.3 (comes with the 7.6.1. >CD) on a 7300/200. Any Clues?? This happened to me when I first got a Zip drive. As the only device on my 8500's external bus, it worked fine, but when I had a 44MB Syquest anywhere in the chain, it almost always froze on writes of a couple of megs or more. This happened with various IOMEGA drivers as well with FWB HDT (2.0.1 at the time). I had 7.5.5 at the time. Putting an external APS Jazz with active termination at the end of the chain once solved a SCSI voodoo problem at work. So I try it at home and the Zip now works perfect. Turn off active termination and Zip freezes when writing. Active termination - Zip works. The same symptom cropped up again when I hooked a Zip to a co-workers mac to back up his freshly updated system. But this time the problem was that I didn't plug the SCSI cable in all the way. (a defective SCSI cable could give the same symptom - I have verified 2 defective SCSI cables out of the 100 or so that I have ever used) Other suggestions - Get out the old pencil eraser and clean connections. Swap cables. Swap equipment. Try no end termination at all. But whatever you do - DON'T accidentally terminate a bus more than twice unless you want to cream some of your data! ========== Mike Stulting mailto:stulting@nichols.com ========== Nichols Research http://www.nichols.com/ -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
