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 =46ast (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 1.1? - Recompiled with CodeWarrior=AE Professional 1. - Recompiled with the latest updates of the Sprite Animation Toolkit and the MADLibrary (music drivers). - Fixed a bug in the monitor depth switching routines, possible cause of crashes. - Fixed a memory leak that occurred when closing some dialogs. - In the about dialog it was actually possible to write in URL fields. =46ixed. - Now the current level number is shown on the upper right corner of the screen during play.

As Fake-8 grew into a formidable set of ResEdit icon-improvements, aimed at System 7 and '030 users, so did it's demand. With this latest release, Fake-8 climbs to a higher level of customization and accessibility. Enclosed in this package, you'll find more than just a color-scheme preview. With the registration of my first public color-scheme, "Full-der," a ONE-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION to Fake-8 comes along. The subscription will allow users to have new Fake-8 additions while they're still new, along with other Extensions (including floppy and cursor enhancements), Icons (especially those that cover up that ugly hard-drive one), Desktop Patterns, color-scheme, and updates in order to make your Fake-8 experience more complete than a color-scheme alone can accomplish. With the promise of the ultimate level of customization comes the final aspect of owning a Fake-8 subscription: each subscription owner is entitled to one CUSTOM piece of software per year. Have a JPEG/PICT that you'd like to see tiled all over your desktop? Got an idea for a cursor (other than that old arrow)? Maybe you'd like your floppy disk or CD-ROM icons to have a new look. If you have the image (for desktop patterns), icons (for floppy/CD-ROM replacements), or even just a sketch done in ClarisWorks (for cursors), YOUR custom software, conceived and dreamed of by YOU, can be made a reality with just a simple e-mail. Here's how a subscription works: once a month, subscription owners will receive an e-mail attachment of UNDER 100K. For the once-a-year FREE customization mentioned above, all resources must be mailed to the owner. All packages are delivered ELECTRONICALLY, via e-mail enclosure. Fake-8 started as a means of providing '030-users with some of the Appearance enhancements denied by Mac OS 8. A subscription, for ONLY $5.00, takes that idea one step further, benefitting not only '030-users, but owners of ALL Macs. If you are interested in keeping your Mac looking new, if you are interested in the ULTIMATE level of custimization, purchase a Fake-8 subscription. Requirements: e-mail software capable of receiving/downloading enclosures at least a 256-color (8-bit) Macintosh or compatible System 7.1 Kaleidoscope 1.5 (for color-scheme support) [Archived as /info-mac/gui/ks/full-der-11-fake-8-info..hqx; 91K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:54:51 -0700 From: sato@het02.ph.tsukuba.ac.jp Subject: [*] g3-10 This application 'G3' is an accesory clock.

It's EASY to operate. You can use just what you need because it's MODULAR (five separate work areas, each teaching different typing skills; each reinforcing the others). It uses ATTRACTIVE windows. You can work on your typing errors because it's SMART; it remembers words you mistype (or forgets them if you ask). It also shows error reports, lets you set speed goals, and suggests in a SUPPORTIVE way when you should raise or lower goals. It lets you keep records (and print them) so you see progress over time. The practice materials are HELPFUL because they also contain typing tips. It's VERSATILE, as you work on your typing, your spelling and vocabulary will also improve. Most important, it's INEXPENSIVE. MacTypingTutor also lets you customize how you work (hide/show typing, hide/show screen-keyboard, hide/show feedback window). It's FLEXIBLE you can adjust difficulty level from very easy to hard (this is also a good feature for children). Program automatically remembers your work-preferences from session to session.

(You can find it in the December '87 issue at page 693) This is the second edition of the list, which spans the years 1983 till 1997: I have copied (with scanner and OCR SW) all the yearly indices since 1983 and have added a handful of keywords (not already in the title itself), so that the resulting list may be searched with a text editor (e.g. with the Find and Find All utilities in BBEDIT). The structure of the list is quite obvious, and the records contain the title, the page number and the keywords. My choice of keywords is quite personal, it may be wrong and is certainly incomplete. Let me know of any mistake that you find in the list: after I uploaded the first edition of the list I have received feedback from several people, I wish to thank them all. Since the first edition there have been some important changes in the way you can retrieve information on old NG articles: the web page of the National Geographic Society is greatly improved and features an online searchable index (check it at http://www.nationalgeographic.com), and the whole National Geographic Magazine is now on a formidable CD-ROM collection (if you want to know more on the CD collection, you can also browse the web pages http://www.mindscape.com and http://www.kodak.com) If you like this edited index please send me a postcard. Greetings to all lovers of the National Geographic Magazine.

As Fake-8 grew into a formidable set of ResEdit icon-improvements, aimed at System 7 and '030 users, so did it's demand. With this latest release, Fake-8 climbs to a higher level of customization and accessibility. Enclosed in this package, you'll find more than just a color-scheme preview. With the registration of my first public color-scheme, "Full-der," a ONE-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION to Fake-8 comes along. The subscription will allow users to have new Fake-8 additions while they're still new, along with other Extensions (including floppy and cursor enhancements), Icons (especially those that cover up that ugly hard-drive one), Desktop Patterns, color-scheme, and updates in order to make your Fake-8 experience more complete than a color-scheme alone can accomplish. With the promise of the ultimate level of customization comes the final aspect of owning a Fake-8 subscription: each subscription owner is entitled to one CUSTOM piece of software per year. Have a JPEG/PICT that you'd like to see tiled all over your desktop? Got an idea for a cursor (other than that old arrow)? Maybe you'd like your floppy disk or CD-ROM icons to have a new look. If you have the image (for desktop patterns), icons (for floppy/CD-ROM replacements), or even just a sketch done in ClarisWorks (for cursors), YOUR custom software, conceived and dreamed of by YOU, can be made a reality with just a simple e-mail. Here's how a subscription works: once a month, subscription owners will receive an e-mail attachment of UNDER 100K. For the once-a-year FREE customization mentioned above, all resources must be mailed to the owner. All packages are delivered ELECTRONICALLY, via e-mail enclosure. Fake-8 started as a means of providing '030-users with some of the Appearance enhancements denied by Mac OS 8. A subscription, for ONLY $5.00, takes that idea one step further, benefitting not only '030-users, but owners of ALL Macs. If you are interested in keeping your Mac looking new, if you are interested in the ULTIMATE level of custimization, purchase a Fake-8 subscription. Requirements: e-mail software capable of receiving/downloading enclosures at least a 256-color (8-bit) Macintosh or compatible System 7.1 Kaleidoscope 1.5 (for color-scheme support) A desktop-pattern installing utility (including Apple's 'Desktop Pattern' control panel, or Avernus' 'Texture Installer' e-mail me at mfiske@kagi.com [Archived as /info-mac/gui/ks/openbox-fake-8-info.hqx; 109K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 08:00:25 -0700 From: friefeld@deltanet.com Subject: [*] PPPop F1.6.1 - PPP Operator Utility (French Version) - submissi PPPop 1.6.1 - PPP Operator Utility French Localization - Shareware $15 US PPPop provides a small button window to click on to open and close a PPP link, a timer with settable limits, an application launcher, a session log, a server selection menu, and it is scriptable.
