The calendar may be customized by changing the frame, background color, text color, font, and font size. You can also attach notes to specific days for past or future events, and have PandoCalendar automatically plot the days you work. Great for people who don't have a Monday-Friday work schedule! Version 4.6 - Added: daily schedules; separate fonts and sizes for the calendar, notes, and note balloons; reminders (alarms); there can now be more than seven weekly notes. Also when the calendar is being redrawn, instead of flashing to white, it now erases to the calendar's background color. Fixed a bug that would prevent the cycle information for the current day from displaying if "Underline notes" was checked. Fixed a bug where the cycle box for the current day could be drawn on top of the frame.

Best of all, if you pop in an audio CD, you can watch PixelToy's patterns dance to the music! Be sure to open the ÒSound SetsÓ file for sets that are meant to react to sound input. To get the most out of PixelToy, youÕll want to take a look at the manual. However, it probably wonÕt explode or bite you if you donÕt. To start with, youÕll want to look at the premade Sets (listed in the Sets menu, natch). PixelToy is $15 shareware. Registering allows you to create up to 16 text objects, up to 16 particle generators, enables creating sets, and allows use of the color palette editor.

Setting Sun is a Mac OS screen saver, which uses plug-ins to draw interesting images when your computer is idle. Although screen savers are not strictly necessary (since most modern monitors can turn themselves off when idle), they still provide a nice distraction from a blank screen. Setting Sun requires QuickTime and a PowerPC based Mac, running System 7.5 or later. Setting Sun runs as a normal Mac OS application - it does not require any Control Panels, Extensions, or Background Applications.

What is it? After a bit of searching, I failed to find a simple, no-frills application capable of presenting graphic files in a sequential slideshow, which did nothing else. I had always meant to sit down and learn how to use RealBasic anyway, so I figured this was my opportunity. Except for a few minor glitches and quirks, everything went rather well. SimpleSlide is the result. It does slideshows. ThatÕs all it does. There are a few options, but only a few. You give it a folder, it scans it and all subfolders for GIF, TIFF, PICT or JPEG files, and then it flashes them on the screen one after another until you ask it to stop, your computer explodes, or the world ends.

The goal is to push boxes through a twisty, crowded maze to their correct destinations. The challenge comes in having to plan ahead: in the process of moving the first box, you might accidently push another one into a corner where you can't get it out. Or you might push the second box next to a third box, then later realize you can't push the third box without pushing the second one into a corner. And so on.... Levels can be easy enough for a child or difficult enough to keep an expert puzzled for hours. Fortunately, you can skip the hard levels and come back to them later. New features since version 2.4 include: - Updated my address. - Removed Boxxle and IQ Carrier levels because they are copyrighted and still being sold in Japan. - Included some other levels that are freely distributable - Fixed some bugs in high score display and updating Other features: - Several hundred levels, separated into collections. Most are challenging for adults, but one collection is designed for young children. - Infinite undo - Easy-to-use movement controls eliminate tedious parts of a level, letting you dedicate your energy to the interesting parts. - Can make your own levels and share them easily - Color and monochrome graphics with optional sound - Free! For more info and even more levels, visit System 7 or higher (including MacOS 8) is recommended, but Sokoban also works with system 6.

SpaceFreaks is DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE, and the only price I ask is comments by e-mail to : holmerkki@altavista.net. SpaceFreaks is a simple shoot'em-up game in the spirit of Space Invaders. The object of the game is to survive as long as possible, for death is inevitable. You get casualties every time an alien freak passes out of reach. The game ends once you get too many casualties. The controls are explained in the intro screen. Aliens can be destroyed either by shooting them or colliding into them. Bombs also destroy enemies. The same goes for asteroids and comets. You go up a level every one minute. Every time this happens, you loose all of your current turrets. The super turret takes 60 seconds to recharge, and can then be fired once. Minimum Requirements : - Power Macintosh - 3MB of RAM - Color Monitor - 1.3MB of HD space Credits : SpaceFreaks was created using the C - libraries of the Sprite Animation Toolkit by Ingemar Ragnemalm and the excellent Metrowerks Codewarrior Professional. Stuff that rules : Bruce Dickinson, pianos, PowerMacs, Fender Strats, Braveheart, astronomy, Monty Python, power chords, dobsons, money.

It avoids the pitfalls of another available stat spreadsheet in that it does not use an Excel macro. The spreadsheet is best suited for competition using the toss-up/bonus format used at the collegiate level by NAQT, ACF, and College Bowl; spreadsheets for other formats can be written upon request. The spreadsheet is designed for a tournament with a maximum of 64 teams and 8 players per team. This spreadsheet was written for Claris/AppleWorks 5, but can be modified for ClarisWorks 2 through 4 upon request.

Combinatorial functions: draws, permutations (and factorials even for large numbers!), variations, combinations. Probability density functions: hypergeometric (Lucky 10, Lotto), binomial (football toto), negative binomial, multinomial, Poisson, normal. Cumulative distribution functions: standard normal and inverse, binomial, negative binomial, negative exponential, Erlang, gamma, beta, chi square, F, T, Cauchy, Rayleigh, extreme value, Pareto, logistic, Weibull, Tukey-Lambda, Von Mises, Wakeby. Special functions: gamma, incomplete gamma, beta, incomplete beta, error, factorial, modified Bessel of first kind. Just for free I've thrown in an Erlang B/C traffic calculator. Can also be used for very large traffic units and number of trunks. Many functions are clearly explained, although this stack is not a course in statistics. Emphasis is on statistical usefulness and accuracy, even for big numbers, not on frills. New in version 2.3: * Restructured the cards with draws, due to errors in the text and a meaningless computation. * Small changes in some dialogs to make them clearer. * Small changes in some texts and some scripts. * Distributions added: Wakeby, generalized gamma CDF, Pareto (standard and generalized), extreme value (type 1, 2, generalized), Weibull, generalized logistic. * Implemented a more accurate modified Bessel function, for series of (non)-integer orders. Freeware; not to be used for commercial applications; not on CD-ROM?s.

Benefits stEPS uses PostScript Level 2 features to avoid file size increase, make page layout tasks more efficient and improve network and RIP performance. stEPS was developed as a solution for those who involved in packaging/labeling production as well as individuals printing personal business cards and postal labels. How it works stEPS works with images in EPS format. Source EPS file could be created in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PhotoShop or any other application that supports export in this format. stEPS creates another EPS file that contains all source file data and additional PostScript code with step and repeat functionality. Exported from stEPS EPS file (with image repeated any number times) doesn't have significant file size increase over original EPS file. Resulting EPS file could be downloaded directly to PostScript RIP or placed into any page layout application, just like regular EPS file. Hardware and software requirements ¥ Macintosh with PowerPC processor ¥ 16MB physical RAM ¥ MacOS 7.5 or higher ¥ PostScript Level 2 software RIP or PostScript printer Demo limitations Until you register, stEPS works in Demo mode. The difference from registered version is that all images in exported step and repeat set are crossed by thin black lines making it useless for real production purposes. Demo mode allows you to test stEPS output with your PostScript devices.
