The new version is more portable: besides a Mac, the source code compiles and correctly runs on various UNIX boxes (Sun/Solaris, HP 9000/7xx, FreeBSD, DEC Alpha), and even Win95/WinNT. The package pulls off a few tricks (like accessing a single file buffer from several (byte/bit/compression) streams, or substituting a base class in a compiled hierarchy). Yet the package compiles and correctly works with both GNU (libg++) and a template-based Modena C++ stream libraries (in CodeWarrior's Metrowerks Standard Library, MSL C++). For the first time, this release of c++advio includes a Vocabulary package, (poly/homo)morphic dictionaries with a dynamic "inheritance" path. The new version also adds a few utility C++ functions, and code to validate them. c++advio: Various advanced i/o codings of streams of integers Keywords: arithmetic coding, start-stop coding, endian i/o, compression, fall-back Hot points: - variable-bit coding of sequences of integers (including the Arithmetic compression) - explicit endian specification in dealing with integer streams - a trick of sharing a stream buffer (a "file") among several streams - with a validation code to verify everything - simple database service (vocabulary) featuring polymorphism, late binding, and dynamic inheritance - with a commented source and CW11 projects Please see a README file for more details. Contents: README - tells what this is all about and how to use it c++serv.dr - tells what the other files are for libserv.a - compiled PowerMac library libserv.pi - project to make it *.h, *.cc - source code v*.cc - verification code (test cases) test suite.stat - stationary for validation projects Run Validation Tests - AppleScript applet to run them ANSI #includes addenda - portability extensions (for non-gcc compilers) Language: C++, CodeWarrior11 System: System 7.x (7.5.5) but probably 6.x is OK, too.

What is the Compact Disc Library? The Compact Disc Library is a Macintosh=81 file for use with FileMaker=AE Pro, by the Claris=AE Corporation. You will need FileMaker Pro version 3.0 or later. This template will allow you to conveniently view, print, sort, file, save and organize your compact disc collection. With the Compact Disc Library, you can search through your CD collection for various artists, song names, ratings, categories, and even lyrics to a song! How Does The Compact Disc Library Work? The Compact Disc Library uses conveniently placed icons throughout the template to guide you through the course of cataloging your CD collection. The execution of tasks such as Sorting, Printing, Adding, Deleting and Listing your CD collection is made quick and easy due to the high quality graphical layout and deluxe icons. Three CD's are pre-entered to give you a visual sample of what your collection will look like. =46or more information about the icons, and the various layouts please select "Icon Information" from the 'Contents' Menu at the top of the screen. Is The Compact Disc Library Free? Well, good question. However the answer is "No." The Compact Disc Library is shareware. Thus, you are free to browse the product in the demo stage for as long as you wish. However, most of the vital functions such as: Editing CD info, Adding New CD's to the Database, Deleting CD's, and Changing the Layout have been disabled. In order to acquire the ability to use all of the functions you must register the product. How Much Does It Cost To Register the Compact Disc Library? The cost to register the Compact Disc Library is $10 (US Dollars). That's it, just 10 bucks. Hopefully this will be cheap enough for people to actually pay for it. There is a registration form attached to this manual. If you'd like to view it, please go to page three, or simply click the button to the right, and it will take you there. http://www.tdl.com/~inaka/ [Archived as /info-mac/data/cd-library-20.hqx; 990K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Aug 1997 15:07:32 -0700 From: inaka@tdl.com Subject: [*] computer-cuisine-41 Computer Cuisine 4.1 - is a Macintosh file for use with FileMaker Pro, by Claris Corporation.

DM Enforced: A version of DM that can download all file types, but does not map it to it's corresponding helper application. DM Enforced Sequential: A version of DM Enforced that downloads a series of related files, which then renames them to whatever you want, followed by a dot and the download number. For instance, header.1, header.2, header.3. DM Enforced Sequential Reverse: Same as the previous but the numbers go backwards starting from a specified number. MSIE Downloader: A Download Macro that will download any type of file using Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0.1 or 4.0p1, but does not route it to it's corresponding helper application. This macro took me a while to complete, as it required a completely different approach than the Netscape versions. Hotline DL: If you can't download from a Hotline site because the maximum number of simultaneous downloads are taking place, this macro will consistantly try for you until it works. Hotline Resume DL: Same as previous, but for any file you want to resume. Delete Cache: Deletes the cache for Netscape, MSIE, and the America Online web browser all at once.

'Italian Verbs' contains the complete conjugation of more than 1000 verbs including almost all irregular verbs. 'Italian Nouns' contains inflection of more than 2000 nouns including about 500 examples of the less-common ways of forming the plural. 'V&N Lookup' allows you to use these modules simultaneously.

You can create several databases and ObiWan will let you rapidly find information from them. It displays the information by popping up a floating window so the information can be displayed at any time in any program. Portions of the information can then be sent to the front window as if you had typed it. The main use of all this is to access the programming database, which includes the procedures, traps, global variables and errors available up to most of System 7.5 (including GX, OCE and OT) and the Universal Interfaces. ObiWan comes with many databases, including: the Force database which has all the System 7 programming information, a Words database which is just a list of words, useful for checking spelling, and a Perl database which lists all the Perl commands, a TeX database, a Java database, and several translation dictionaries. Any programmer with a couple meg of disk space available should definitely have a look at this (IMNVHO :-). The normal use is to figure out the parameters of various calls, for example, if I want to know the parameters for HOpen, I can get them pasted in like this: OSErr:=HOpen(vRefNum_INTEGER,dirID_LONGINT,fileName_Str255, permission_SignedByte,VAR_refNum_INTEGER); (in either C or Pascal format) This is a fairly small upgrade from ObiWan 5.1.1. Version 5.2 includes a bunch of new translation dictionaries based on the Internet Dictionary Project's dictionaries Also new to version 5.2 is support for being used as a reference engine (like QuickView or THINK Reference). The newly released BBEdit 4.5 supports using ObiWan as a reference engine. ObiWan requires System 7.1 or later and is $10 shareware. 5.2 is a free upgrade if you registered any previous version.

Snap-To is a control panel which automatically moves the cursor to the default button whenever a dialog box appears on your screen. It sounds simple, but you'll be amazed at how fast you'll be flying through dialog boxes once Snap-To is installed. Even if you don't necessarily want to click on the default button, you'll have that much less of a distance to move the mouse, which makes a noticeable improvement in ease-of-use. Snap-To has several bonus features, including the ability to automatically disable itself in Open or Save dialog boxes, snap the cursor back to its original location after a dialog has been closed, or smoothly "glide" the cursor to the default button as though it were sliding across your screen wearing fuzzy socks on a shiny new kitchen floor. Snap-To (though it has not been examined by the Food and Drug Administration ;) is helpful in preventing or reducing the effects of repetitive stress injuries (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome. Version 2.1 provides MacOS 8 compatibility, a faster and smoother glide feature, and fixes several small bugs. Version 2.1.1 fixes a problem where the glide feature could cause crashes or unusual operation.
