You organize the menus as it suits you, by creating and organizing files and aliases in a special folder in the Finder. New Features: You can now control the order of CMTool's menus. "Copy to" and "Move to" the desktop. CMTools can be used with CM-savvy applications other than the Finder. Bugs fixed: Suffix checking for compressed files was case sensitive. CMTool's fell into MacsBug if EvenBetterBusError was installed. Certain applications refused to open documents that CMTools sent them. CMTools is freeware.

It presents a series of puzzles, called Tracks, in which Marbles travel along frictionless Grooves. You can change the direction of some of the Grooves and thereby alter the path the Marbles will follow. Guide enough of the Marbles into the Buckets scattered around the Track and you will proceed to the next Track. Of course, it rarely is quite as simple as that. The Marbles are very fragile and will break if they collide with one another or run off a Groove. You must also contend with Stoppers, Springs, Plates, and other devilish tricks on the Track. And Black Marbles lurk at every turn, waiting to crush the other Marbles and undo your hard work. Kineto is a Java applet.

It is your goal to win enough money to build a Pyramid which consists of six construction levels each costing 1500 credits. When completed the secrets of a Pyramid will be revealed to you!! The game is split into three different stages - The Begin Stage, The Pyramid Gamble Stage and finally, The Sphinx Stage. Credits won can be transfered from one stage to the other. The game is lost if at any time you run out of credits. Watch out for the gremlins and demon !!!!! I wrote Kinga originally for myself to provide an exciting substitute for real gambling machines and it has already saved me a lot of money !!!! The program chooses reel and pyramid positions at random. Version 2.0 has some new features - play, sound & speech settings - pyramid background info - revised instructions - 256 colour compatible - fixes some bugs Version 2.0.1 includes a new payment system from Kagi Enjoy, Jason Sidwell. spacedjase@geocities.com Kinga 2.0.1 can be placed on any CD roms!!!

NOTES REGARDING THIS TRIAL SOFTWARE This trial software lets you experience firsthand the key features of MediaPresenter 1.4. This trial software will expire 30 days after installation. Contact SUDA (suda@interchange.ubc.ca) to purchase the full product after that time. ABOUT MEDIAPRESENTER MediaPresenter is designed to make the presentation of graphic images, QuickTime=81 movies, and short text messages quick and easy. During a presentation visual annotation tools and image navigation tools are available. Media files used in a presentation are only stored as references to the actual files on your hard drive or CD-ROM. When an image is displayed it is automatically retrieved from disk. This makes MediaPresenter particularly suitable for re-purposing Multimedia or World Wide Web content, and for presenting a subset of a large image collection. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS MediaPresenter requires a Macintosh with a 68030 processor or greater, including PowerPC, and requires System Software version 7.0 or later. MediaPresenter requires 6 megabytes of free memory. Depending on the media to be displayed with MediaPresenter, however, you may need to allocate more memory to MediaPresenter using the Get Info dialog box in the finder. At least 2 MB of free hard disk space should be available. QuickTime 2.5 system software extension is recommended. QuickTime 2.0+ system software extension required. Paul D.

Two plugins are provided, Finder Info 1.0 and Set Custom Icon 1.1. The Set Custom Icon 1.1 plugin lets you quickly and easily change custom icons on files, folders, applications and drives. Simply control-click on the icon and you will see a Custom icon item and submenu appear, choices include cut, copy, clear and paste depending on whether or not a custom icon is present or on the clipboard. Much more pleasant than the old fashioned way of going through the Get Info dialog. Future enhancements will include the ability to paste PICT files as well as icons. The Finder Info 1.0 plugin is likely to be of more interest to programmers as it allows you to toggle the Finder information bits such as the Invisible and Custom Icon bits. Control-click on the icons in the Finder and you will see a Finder info item whose submenu lists the bits and their current values, select these to toggle on or off. Please use this with care as this information is actually used by the Finder and misuse can cause problems. I'd like to add creator and type code changing here as well but I've yet to work out a nice interface. This software is shareware, with the low fee of US$10 payable directly or via Kagi.

I started redesigning Claris Emailer soon after I first started to use the very first version of Emailer.

Or do you want to be able to copy text from a read-only SimpleText document, only to find that you can't select any text? Do you simply want to distribute a document in read-only format, yet don't know how to go about doing so? TextLock will do it all! It will convert SimpleText documents to and from read-only format, convert text documents created with other programs to SimpleText documents, and is drag-and-droppable! For those familiar with file types, TextLock simply changes documents with a file type of 'TEXT' to 'ttro', and documents with a file type of 'ttro' to 'TEXT'.

Tolkien. I tried to make them just like the "Middle Earth", but, for game reasons, I had to changed some places. Anyway, you will find that the names are the same. To play them, you need the "Warcraft II" game, created by Blizzard Entertainment=A9. System requirements are the ones the game needs. These maps are freeware, so you can use and abuse them all you want, you can give them to your friends, put them on any commercially available CD-ROM, or you can trash them. But, if you like some of them, send me an email telling me so. I will be glad to receive it. And I will be glad, too, if you do something good for our Apple or Mac (evangelize a Wintel user, buy another Mac, pay for the shareware, etc.). These Maps were checked with Disinfectant 1.7.
