Color Picker Pro is more than just a RGB to hex converter however! It can literally pull colors out of windows, icons and Desktop backgrounds. If you can't find a color that you're interested in using the former method, you can just as easily utilize any of your System-level color pickers a la the Color Picker Pro application. Once you've found the color you want, you're only a click, menu choice or key combination away from pasting your hex value into any text-based HTML editor. Color Picker Pro will also allow you to store frequently used colors, undo and redo color changes as well as finding the nearest Netscape 216 Palette color.

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 DC20/25 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).

You can use eMerge's built-in tools to create a list of names, e-mail addresses, and other variables; or import all the information you need from existing database. We've included a number of sample campaigns that show you how you might use eMerge: -- DOCTORS use eMerge to remind their patients of their appointments and to invite them to make an appointment if they haven't seen them in a while. -- LAWYERS use eMerge to track down expired wills and invite their clients to update their wills. -- ORDINARY PEOPLE use eMerge to invite people to parties. -- SMALL BUSINESSES use eMerge to advise their customers of new merchandise as it arrives and of orders that have been delayed. -- SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS use eMerge to advise their customers of software updates or to follow up on technical support calls. -- STOCK BROKERS use eMerge to provide their clients with daily portfolio updates. -- TEACHERS use eMerge to advise parents of appointments or send them their children's report cards. -- WEB DESIGNERS use eMerge to follow up on downloads from their web pages. This demo allows you to use all the features of the full version of eMerge, except that you can only send ten messages in any one session; and although you can dredge your entire hard drive for addresses, you can only save the first ten people on your list. Even with these limitations, don't be surprised if you find the demo useful right away. (Don't tell anyone, but we used it this year to send all our Valentine's messages.)

The extension patches the DebugStr trap and stores all strings in a queue. The application then fetches the debug strings and displays them in a debug window. This is a quick and dirty solution which can come handy in debugging drivers, code resources, callbacks and various places where the use of a regular debugger is not the best choice. Simply place DebugStr's in your code and view the result using the HugBug application. Minimal time information is also displayed with each string. The DebugStr extension code doesn't move memory so it can be called at interrupt time.

It can quickly scan whole disks or folders and grab all the icons they contain, including those you won't ever see in the Finder and all icon archives created by other icon utilities. It can easily export them in most graphics formats, including the ones you need for your web pages. Drag & Drop is fully supported, so you can create or stick custom icons by simply dragging them around. All icons are compressed on the fly to save memory and disk space, and archives can contain a very large number of icons (unlike all other icon utilities which are limited to a few hundreds). Advanced features include removing duplicate icons, sorting them by shape, filtering them by size or color depth, and viewing them in many different ways. The Archiver includes native PowerPC code and its icon handling routines are highly optimized for maximum speed. $25 shareware. Have fun and support Alex.

Internet Config is supported by many Mac OS Internet applications, including NewsWatcher, Anarchie, Fetch, and Internet Explorer. It is my pleasure to announce the release of Internet Config 1.4. This version has a few new features but, more importantly, it offers significant reliability improvements over previous versions. Specific enhancements include: o The IC application now supports "Get URL" AppleEvents, routing them to the appropriate helper application. o The extension now holds the default preferences, so you get default preferences regardless of which application first uses IC. o The extension now sanity checks preference files before opening them. It also keeps a copy of the most recent preferences in the data fork of the preference file, so it can revert to that backup. Attached are three archives: 1. InternetConfig1.4.sit -- The standard user distribution. 2. ICProgKit1.4.sit -- The SDK for developers. 3. ICAppSourceKit1.4.sit -- The source code for the IC application.

It's very useful for converting text files downloaded from Unix systems and it's much faster than large text processing applications for this purpose. The programme is designed for speed, the only concession to aesthetics being the provision of a progress bar. To use NoReturn, simply drop a file (or files) on the NoReturn icon. If you click the abort button, hit the escape key or command-dot while a file is being processed, the file will be left untouched.

What Is Recall? If you manage your appointments and other events with Post-it notes stuck to your computer because you think electronic appointment books are too complicated to be bothered with, then Recall may be for you. Designed to remind you of appointments and events happening within the next days, Recall sports a simple, intuitive interface. Simply click on the button that matches the time period after which you need to be reminded. In addition to fixes, 1.2 adds some new features: - New Reminder-Actions: Recall lets you specify the following actions to happen at reminder time: show a dialog, play a sound, launch an URL, launch an application or a document. - Notification system changed: The notification is no longer done by a window of the MacOS's Notification Manager. Recall will switch to front and show a nicer window instead. This increases compatibility with future operating systems and third-party software. Recall 1.2 is a free upgrade for all registered owners. Recall is shareware. The price is US$15 for a single user license. Special pricing is available to user groups.

This update should replace the German version of Sleeper 2.1.1 already in the archives. As usual, credit for the German translation goes to Christoph Sahm . Sleeper is a shareware control panel for desktop Macintoshes and Power Macintoshes that dims the screen, powers down Energy Star compliant monitors, and spins down disk drives after periods of inactivity. This saves energy and reduces noise levels in your work area without forcing you to shut down your Mac. Sleeper can also password-protect the screen and shut down your Mac if it has been idle for too long. Because Sleeper does not rely on Apple's Power Manager, Sleeper will work on any Macintosh running System 7.0 or later, and does not suffer from some of the quirky behavior reported with Apple's Energy Saver 2.0. Sleeper is well suited for unattended operations as well as personal desktop use. For file servers, ftp and http hosts, and fax and BBS systems, Sleeper will wake the drives up when they are needed and put them to sleep when they are idle. Sleeper is easily configurable; it provides hotkey control for on-demand activation of its sleep features, and separate delay settings for screen dimming, monitor power down, shutdown, disk sleep, and password activation Sleeper will work on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, and is Mac OS 8 savvy. It will spin down both IDE and SCSI hard drives, the screen saver feature requires a color-capable Macintosh, and Energy Star monitor support requires an Energy Star compliant Macintosh (any Mac on which Apple's Energy Saver control panel works) and an Energy Star capable monitor. Sleeper supports SCSI Manager 4.3 in native mode on all machines and requires only 40K of memory when operating. In addition to the standard internet archives, information and updates are available at the following web site. Also, keep an eye on the site for the Sleeper may be included on the Info-Mac and UMich CD-ROMs. St. Clair Software http://www.stclairsw.com/ Fax (330)549-3495 ftp://ftp.stclairsw.com/ [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/sleeper-de-30.hqx; 332K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Sep 1997 15:30:59 -0700 From: jaeho@xs4all.nl Subject: [*] Sound Info 1.0 - Sound Manager Profiler Sound Info is a simple program that shows informations about the Sound Manager of the current system installed in your Macintosh.

Now, you need to do this for _each_ window separately, and this can be very tedious. The Squeegee Collection is a set of 12 AppleScript droplets that automate this task. With the collection, you can set your windows to be viewed by Icon, Small Icon, or List, and sorted by Name, Modification Date, Size, or Kind. To use, just drag a folder or disk onto one of the droplets. It will recursively set all folders within the folder or disk you select to the same setting. It will also set the window to the upper left of the screen, and use the minimum amount of screen space to show every item in the window, assuming there aren't too many items.
