Additionally, ACE! allows you to print details of these save games. Initially, you can edit the save games from 'Bard's Tale', 'Doom' (1, 2 and Ultimate), 'Escape Velocity', 'Foobar vs the DEA', 'Harry the Handsome Executive', 'Heroes of Might & Magic', 'King's Bounty', 'Mantra', 'Marathon' (1, 2, Infinity, Excalibur and Evil), 'Might and Magic' (1, 2 and 3), 'Omega' (version 0.75 and 0.80), 'Pathways into Darkness', 'Realmz', 'Ultima III', 'Unlimited Adventures' (design passwords and characters), 'Wizardry Gold' and 'Yipe! III'. However, ACE! can be extended to edit other save games through the use of plug-in 'modules'. ACE! is freeware. ACE! will run on any Macintosh or MacOS compatible computer. It requires System 7.0 or higher, a minimum of 350k of disc space, and about 640k of free RAM. ACE! is distributed as a fat binary, meaning that it runs native on both 68k and PPC processors. Version 1.2 is scriptable. A number of example scripts are provided that extend ACE, and you can also make your own scripts to automate your use of ACE.

Another new feature, unlimited zoomout with newton press pict books. Compatible with Garmin II and III (set at 4800 baud and with NMEA sentence filter) as well as Scoutmaster GPS (just set Scoutmaster's baudrate at 4800). Rich Drinkard, a beta tester, made some suggestions on activity sounds and map display and so that is improved. He also requested the unlimited zoomout. Evidentally his 28meg flashcard on a mp2100 could hold a very large map to find his way around. I believe we are going to see bigger than 4 meg flashcards officially supported by apple on the mp2100. Rich Drinkard reported me experiments that tripmate does speak NMEA sentences! So, I shall be working on a version for it! I am working on a mp100 Garmin II III and Scoutmaster version with limited features. Notice also the correction in spelling. This is embarrassing and in no way was intended as insulting. But, anyone with Japanese bilingual experience would pronounce Bonzai as "bone sigh" which would hardly get across the feeling of "Live 10,000 years" battle cry or "hip hip hooray". Thanks for avoiding this embarrassment are due Jimmie Jenkins with 20 years experience learning the Japanese language. Also, thanks are due to David Fiedler and Paul S. Hetrick who wished me luck dispite correcting my bad spelling first. I stand a Bonzai, duly pruned and thank my senseis. With Steve Weyer's newt and some helpful correspondence, I have been developing a newton gps navigator program for some years while doing a Ph.D. in theoretical physics with intensive background in differential geometry and carrying on international correspondence. Thanks are due this sensei, too. "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the 8th Dimension" movie inspired the name for my newton gps navigator program. I wanted a distinctive name that people would remember and I really loved and recommend that wonderful crazy video. Who can forget his gallant and wonderful remark when the crowd insulted his to be genius girlfriend : "Hey, don't be mean. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!" I'd like people to think of that uplifting phrase when they use my gps program to go somewhere! The introduction to the movie spoke of his oriental background and capacity to go in many directions at the same time (he was a neural surgeon, rock star and race car driver and perhaps more that I can't [Archived as /info-mac/nwt/banzai-slider.hqx; 68K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jan 1998 10:45:43 -0700 From: CXC101@aol.com Subject: [*] Blues Brothers Blues Brothers =A9 - by Chris Shepard for Kaleidoscope 1.8 Control Panel, for the MacOS8.

The bundled software is very stable and pretty powerful, but it lacks a feature that's very important for digital camera users: the ability to quickly download all the pictures to disk without any user interaction, making the camera ready for a new series of shots. The DC20 only carries 8 pictures in hi-resolution mode, and they must be trasferred to your computer before you can take more shots. Saving them to disk using the bundled software, however, is way too painful if you need to take more pictures immediately after the first round. The DC20/25 Link utility addresses this problem by providing a powerful, highly automated way to transfer all your pictures to disk. It requires very little memory and free disk space compared to the bundled software, and lets you save the pictures directly in compressed JPEG format (the bundled software's JPEG format is uncompressed and doesn't make the saved picture files any smaller). New in version 1.1: - Fixes a crashing bug on 68K machines. - Supports serial speeds slower than 57600 bps.

Finder Windows Pro is a MacOS 8-savvy utility that adds a "Window" menu to the Finder. If you use "Window" menus in other applications, you know they can be convenient when you have more than a couple windows on your screen. Like the "Window" menu in many other applications, the Finder Windows Pro menu gives you the ability to bring specific windows to the front. The Finder Windows Pro menu also includes commands with which you can stack, tile, zoom, and cycle through the Finder's windows. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to these commands so that they are easily accesible. You can also add your own custom items to the menu and assign keystrokes to them as well. In addition to the standard menu in the menubar, Finder Windows Pro includes a contextual menu item with which MacOS 8 users can add the familiar Finder Windows Pro menu to the Finder's contextual menus. Finder Windows Pro requires MacOS 7.1 or higher, and a 68020 or higher processor. MacOS 7.5 or higher is preferred. Finder Windows Pro is MacOS 8-savvy if you are a user of MacOS 8.0 or higher. ABOUT QUADRATIC SOFTWARE Quadratic has produced several shareware and freeware titles for the Macintosh, including the hot new utility "CoolViews" and the popular cursor-focusing utility "Sloop".

Simply type in the text, tell it what folder or disk to search, and it will find all files containing that text. You can even specify where it has to look in the file: the data fork, the resource fork or both. This saves you having to open ten or more files to get hold of the one you're after, and FindText can work in the background, which means you can get on with something else rather than watching the progress bar crawl across the screen. If speed is important, try FindText. FindText needs System 7 or better and runs native both on the PowerMac and the 68020/68030/68040 Macs. FindText is fully compatible with Mac OS 8. Version 1.3.3 is a minor update (see the read-me file). On general request : from now on, you can register FindText via Kagi (creditcard, cash, check, ...).

For example, you may want to automatically save all files whose name ends with ".jpg" inside a "Pictures" folder somewhere on your disk. To set up a destination folder and link it to a set of file names, all you have to do is to create an alias to the folder and move it to the "Folder Jump Aliases" folder inside your System folder. The name of the alias is matched against user-entered file names in one of four ways: partial, exact, suffix or prefix. The alias naming rules for each case are described in a SimpleText document named "instructions" that's automatically created in the "Folder Jump Aliases" folder when you click the "Settings" button in the Control Panel.

Inspiration and overview Well, I actually got the idea from Windows. I noticed that the menu I got when I right-clicked on the background of a folder window had a "New" submenu with various document types, and I found myself wishing I had that on my Mac. Well, hey, I'm a programmer! What to do Part 1: Preparation - Drag NewCM onto your System Folder (the Finder redirects it to the Contextual Menu Items folder) - Open up the Contextual Menu Items folder and make a new folder inside it called "NewCM Items" - Put some files in the NewCM Items folder - whatever kinds of files you find yourself creating most often. Then restart your computer. Part 2: Usage - Control-click on the background of a folder window in the Finder. There will be a "New" submenu, which lists the document types of the files you put in the NewCM Items folder. Important note: normally, the document types are listed (like "ClarisWorks word processing doc"), not their names. But they are listed alpabetically accorting to the file names. This means that, through clever renaming, you can put the more popular types at the top of the list. - Select an item from the submenu. You will be prompted for a file name (with the orignal file's name as the default), and the file will be copied to the folder and then opened. Part 3: Extra options - If you want the name of a template file to be used in the menu instead of its kind, add an exclamation point to the end of the name. - If you don't want the new file to be opened (which you might want, say, for a font suitcase), you can add a minus sign at the end of the name of the file in NewCM items. - If you use both the exclamation point and the minus sign, the exclamation point should come last. For example: "Frosty document-!" - Useful for re-ordering the files in the menu: If the third character of the file name is ')', then the first three will not be displayed. - If a file (or folder) name ends in '-***', then a divider will be displayed in the menu instead of that file or folder (folders aren't normally displayed at all). You can combine this with the above ordering trick as well. By the way, you don't need to restart after making changes to the NewCM Items folder. And yes, those last two features were inspired by FinderPop and OtherMenu (which I use!).

Super Mac Freecell is the best solitaire card game available for the Macintosh. This is so much better than any other variation of solitaire that you may never go back! For all of you who don't know what Super Mac Freecell is a super addictive solitaire card game. What makes Super Mac Freecell more interesting than most solitaire card games is that the possibilities to win are only limited by talent. Nearly every game (approx 99.99 %) of Super Mac Freecell can be won. This doesn't mean it is simple. Far from it, there is room for almost limitless improvement. This makes Super Mac Freecell much more interesting than solitaire variations like klondike, where luck is a large factor in the game. So why not give Super Mac Freecell a try. I bet you never play klondike again, I haven't.
