Shareware ($30 for an individual license). This FAT version runs in native mode on both PowerPCs and 680x0 Macs. (Also available in PowerPC and 68K versions). Includes the Bertie font, a brief manual ("Read Me"), a license agreement, a program to facilitate the registration process ("Register"), Register's help file ("Register.txt"), and a folder of example problems. New in version 1.2: two new connectives added, Sheffer's Stroke ("not both") and Joint Denial (neither/nor). New in version 1.1: Bertrand now correctly recognizes identity-reflexivity. E.g., ~=aa will now generate a contradiction on its own. Bertrand is both an educational aid for students of logic and a practical tool for philosophers, logicians, computer programmers and mathematicians. Using an algorithm inspired by the "consistency tree" method found in Leblanc and Wisdom's textbook "Deductive Logic", Bertrand proceeds by decomposition and instantiation to solve first-order predicate logic statements for satisfiability, validity, equivalence, "logical truth" and "logical falsity." Subject-equality is supported. The program also produces truth-tables for truth-functional sentences. During the solution process, Bertrand issues "status reports", giving the user insight into the method by which Bertrand constructs its tree. These status reports can be stepped through one at a time, or they can be turned off entirely to speed up the solution process. Once Bertrand has solved a given problem, the tree constructed in the process is displayed in a scrolling window. A summary of results is given in a separate window. If applicable, a model in the form of a truth-value assignment to atomic statements is provided. Tree, Truth Table, and Premise files can be saved or printed, once the program has been registered. System requirements: a minimum 1 meg of free RAM is recommended, as is System 7.1 or higher. herzberg@humnet.ucla.edu [Archived as /info-mac/edu/bertrand-12.hqx; 438K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 08:09:05 -0700 From: jhague@dadgum.com Subject: [*] Boingo Electro 1.1 Boingo Electro is a freeware sketch of a neat little game idea we--Dadgum Games--had.

It works using two advanced self-organizing modeling technologies: Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) and Analog Complexing. This is the first time that both of these algorithms have been available on any computer platform. Built on the cybernetic principles of self-organization, KnowledgeMiner brings high-end modeling capabilities to your desktop without the need for an expert. It can learn completely unknown relationships between the outputs and inputs of a given system in an evolutionary way from a very simple organization to an optimally complex one by itself. KnowledgeMiner has been used successfully for analysis and prediction in the fields of finance, economics, imaging, ecology, health, biotechnology, chemistry, math and many others. Professionals in many areas can benefit by downloading and trying out the examples then using this tool to mine their own field for new relationships. In comparison with statistical modeling tools and neural networks KnowledgeMiner stands out as easier, faster and more applicable to a wide range of real-world problems since it creates the model structure or network topology automatically without predefinition. This makes KnowledgeMiner the least expensive and most effective modeling and prediction tool available on any platform. Hardware Requirements 68020, Power Mac or higher, MacOS 7.0 or later, 8+MB RAM, Hard Drive, Apple Guide, and QuickTime To use KnowledgeMiner Pro properly a fast Power Mac is recommended.

All this from a single file with a perpetual calendar, called "Organise.FP3". In every layout there is on line help available. What is required. To work with this open the "Organise.FP3"-file. Do not rename any of the files nor set an incorrect date in your System (If you do the organiser may notice that and may refuse to start up). This file system needs at least Filemaker Pro3.0v4 to work. It will not work on older versions. Set your monitor at 256 colours/grayscales or more and set the screen resolution at at least 800x600, if you don't the organizer will break off launching. *This will work on a MacOS=81 and on a WinTel computer with Claris FilemakerPro3.0v4 installed. What is the story. I have been travelling very much and living in hotels the past 6 years and I needed to keep track work time, contacts, expenses, letters, drives with the car and lost more. So I started to develop this Organis(z)er that started as a simple expenses list in 1994 in Filemaker Pro=81 1.0 and has evolved into what I present to you here. In februari 1996 I started this file system totally new so I have put a tremendous amount of time and effort into it and I hope that you will enjoy and appreciate it. What does it cost. This is a demonstration copy that will expire (lock up) 90 days after using it the first time, expiring is the only restriction to it. If you would like to keep using this, pay the share ware fee of US$20.00. The information you need to register is completely available in the Organise.FP3 file. After I 've received your fee I send you a new copy that won't expire. Disclaimer If you use this, you do so entirely, totally, completely at your very, very own risk. I do not accept any liability and responsibility. mennob@euronet.com NL-604 3440AP.

'Verbs & Nouns' is an application for practising inflection, translation and pronunciation at the level of single words. Features include the opportunity to do inflection exercises, and translation exercises in both directions; to record and play sound for single words; and to do exercises based on sound. The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as bilingual dictionaries. Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages.
