Although there are other scripts with similar capabilities; I know that you'll find mine to be more robust and much nicer to use. They were simply out there first and they have a well established following. SegmentSMIer can instruct Disk Copy to : segment images into your chosen number of parts; segment images into 1.4 MB floppy disk sized parts, for floppy archiving an image; make a NDIF disk image or first segment into a self-mounting image or 'SMI'. DropMakeSMI will instruct Disk Copy to create a self-mounting image of any NDIF image dropped onto it on the desktop of your startup disk. Not as flexible as SegmentSMIer, but speedier and just as robust. ImageCheck will induce Disk Copy to run a special internal check sequence on any disk image dropped onto it and inform you if it found a problem. Floppy Archiver allows you to have a compressed NDIF image to be made instantaneously on the desktop of your startup disk from the 1.4 MB floppy disk you just dragged onto it. Speeds up archiving of floppy disks to some other media. What's new in 2.1 : The inclusion of two news droplets: DropMakeSMI and ImageCheck; You can now tip me through the reputable Kagi Payment Service; More technical tweaking; New viewable scripts also now available; Much revised PDF Read Me. What was new in v2.0 : New easy-to-use button-oriented interface; Data entry verification (you can only choose to make between 2 and 128 segments); Ability to make images Self-Mounting, i.e. images independent of Disk Copy; SegmentSMIer combines the functionality of Segmenter 1.5.x and Image Floppier 1.5.x; Ability to choose where you want the output files to go; Correct handling of all cancellations; With Disk Copy 6.3, dialogs use Navigation Services where available; Further technical tweaking and compatible with Mac OS 8.5; [Archived as /info-mac/disk/dcscripts-21.hqx; 239K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Aug 1998 17:07:06 -0700 From: jparris6@netpath.net Subject: [*] "Styles" Classical Blues, enhanced for K2 Classical Blues has the look of gold, sapphires, and turquoise, with disclosure triangles, desktop pattern, utility pattern, windowshade soundfile, tabbed pop-up windows, and a new cursor, all written in, along with custom folders and trash.

A useful utility AutoRename 1.0 What is this? This is a simple utility to rename full folders in one click. It allows you to create a Base name to each file and then apply a number after the base name. It works great for preping image files for the web, or htmls for a website. Many uses can be gained. Stay tuned for the latest updates. Please use this utility with caution, as for there is no "undo" for this utility. Once you have renamed a folders contents, it is not undoable, sorry. Later versions will include: undo's, ability to add just file extentions, plug-ins and much more. If you have any suggestions for me please contact me: alphamix@hotmail.com I would love to hear some ideas. Report any bugs to me also. How to use AutoRename 1.0 To rename an entire folder of files (not including enclosed files), just click the Select Folder button on the main screen. After selecting a folder, type in a "base name", select a file extention if you wish to "force" one, and click "Begin" There is online help by clicking on the question mark icon in the upper right hand corner of the window. Click the Help button in the dialog box, and then click the mouse over an item which you require help on. Later versions will include a troubleshooting, however because of the basicness of this utility, troubleshooting would have been somewhat unnecessary. Disclaimer=D6 AutoRename 1.0 has been tested on a G3 PowerMacintosh (PM770) and runs great. Any errors or problems that may occur are not the responsibility of the programmer, nor shal any compensation be given in the event of any errors. Please use this file and any included files only how they were intended to be used, do not change any included files without permission of the authors. Thank you for using my software.

If you press the "Alt" key, you will have the old dialogs. - CDFinder now keeps the location of your catalog folder in an alias. The big advantage is a better reliability and the fact that CDFinder can now mount any server volume for you that contains your catalog folder! - The CDFinder cache is now much more effective, causing a much faster launch for all of you folks with multi-user licenses! - Support for the control panel "SmartScroll" with proportional scroll bars. - Balloon help for menus (English, Italian, and German only). - Faster display routines for list displays. - The "Find" dialog now uses other text input routines. - To communicate with the Finder , CDFinder no longer uses AppleScript, but direct Apple Events. - The contents of the "Help" window can now be printed. - Some CDFinder windows now deactivate their control items when in background. - The "New Catalog Folder" dialog now defaults to a more intelligent name. - Many Thanks to Erik Ekengren for the Swedish translation!! - Many Thanks to John Zetlaoui for an improved French translation! - If CDFinder cannot find your catalog folder at launch, it will now bring up a dialog explaining that and let you choose a new folder or show CDFinder the new location of your folder. - A real lot of minor and even some major bugs have been fixed!

Its theme is "extensions with a global interface" because of the extra power it gives to modules, especially the Extensions Strip savvy ones. Included in the package are two useful modules, a few icon themes, and developer stuff ----- 1.8 Short Summary: Icon themes, miniature modules, and extra compatability with G3s and System 8.5. ----- 1.8 Longer Summary: - Icon Themes! Each strip can now have its own custom icons. - Miniature modules option for each strip. This will shrink all modules to the size of a small icon. Tip: This feature is great for vertical strips. - No need for the TSM Fix extension! This improves compatibility (it conflicted with Real Player and Ray Dream Studio 5). Another bonus is that translucent dragging is now possible (as long as your System software supports it). - Maintains an internal list of "naughty" modules not to close. This prevents Extensions Strip from crashing when quit. If you know of a module that still crashes when ES is quit, please let me know so I can add it to the list. NB: many of Apple's modules before System 8.5 would cause random crashes on G3 Macs after they were asked to close. Extensions Strip 1.8 works around this problem. Evidently, Apple discovered this and fixed it for System 8.5 - Limited support for System 8.5's PPC modules. - Any module that causes Extensions Strip to crash is now reported to the user. ----- To download: http://www.pair.com/ammon/skidperfect/es/links.html [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/extensions-strip-18.hqx; 425K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Aug 1998 17:06:43 -0700 From: artworks@garlic.com Subject: [*] Girrl Pointers.sit ART AND GARLIC!!!

When you reach the end of a document, often the page has scrolled up just a few lines rather than a whole page... and you have to scan back over a page you've already read to find the new lines at the end. With PageMark, you won't waste time figuring out where you are, since the flashing indicator shows you exactly where the previous page ended. PageMark is especially useful when you're scanning web pages or reading notes in email or newsgroups. PageMark can also be configured to flash the marker when scrolling reaches the top of a document, or the left or right margin, with different settings for different applications. PageMark works with almost all Macintosh windows which have scrollbars, including Netscape and Internet Explorer windows (the only significant exception appears to be Finder windows under MacOS 8). PageMark requires Macintosh System 7.0 or later. The PageMark Extension is packaged in a Control Panel. PageMark is $5 shareware. You can test PageMark for 30 days without registering; after 30 days the PageMark Extension is disabled. (PageMark is Copyright =A91998 Kevin Eric Saunders a/k/a bonze blayk, All Rights Reserved.

It has now become a useful MacOS application. It is not fancy and has no bells or whistles in any way. But it's FAST. It is to be used in conjunction with ICMP Logger v1.0. It was unknown, at the time of this writing, if there was a newer version that creates a differently formatted log file, which basically means that this is to be used ONLY on log files created by the aforementioned program. ICMP Logger, when used, creates a text file with the following format which can grow to megabyte proportions. If you are familiar with this kind of situation then you can understand the difficulty in reading through the file to find needed info. A quick break down of what PingReporter does: * Extracts IP numbers from the log files. * Counts the number of pings received from a particular IP. * Shows you when that IP started and stopped sending the pings. * Shows you the size of the pings and if they changed size. * Calculates the total number of bytes received from those pings. * Organizes all this data in a neat manner so that it can easily be passed on to others without much hassle -- Grinch Mondays are a hard way to spend one-seventh of your life.

Why Do I Want To Disable The Shift Key? ======================================= Holding down the Shift key when launching your Macintosh will prevent all extensions to load at start-up. This is an interesting feature when you have start-up crashes from incompatible extensions and controlpanels. However, if your system is running smooth, you may want to protect your computer with a password protection or a similar application/extension. Most password protections for the Mac are extensions or controlpanels. Therefore you can simply bypass them when holding down the Shift key at start-up. This is where the "SKS" comes in. It gives you the option to disable the Shift key only for the start-up time. After your Mac booted, the Shift key works as it always worked when you worked with your Mac. The "Shift Key Suite" is US$5 shareware. It is available from Marc Mennigmann's web site and all major Macintosh shareware archives and ftp sites. The "Shift Key Suite" is free for all registered users of the Macintosh password protection THE BLOCK. System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or clone running MacOS System 7.0 or later. Availability ============ The "Shift Key Suite" is available now, and may be downloaded through: Other download locations are available at: [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/shift-key-suite-10.hqx; 155K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Aug 1998 17:07:14 -0700 From: catara@idir.net Subject: [*] sLog 2.0fc1 - "Your personal system manager." sLog 2.0 is a handy system management utility that allows you to keep track of your system's stability by recording the time your computer restarted or crashed. sLog, intended to be used by both users and administrators alike, has many potential uses, including: - Logging how much a computer is used (for tax or record keeping purposes) - Finding out how stable a particular computer is - Determining if a new piece of software or hardware is causing subtle problems - Letting you know if a computer is being improperly shutdown - Finding out if someone has been using a computer when they weren't supposed to be - Loads of other things sLog 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the original SysLog program.

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 or pictures. 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.

Macintosh password and personal data organizer for the Internet with strong cryptography. Web Confidential is an intuitive, easy-to-use program for managing user IDs, passwords, registration numbers, and the like. Thanks to the use of a number of advanced features of the Mac operating system, Web Confidential can be used in close conjunction with popular Mac Internet software, such as Netscape Navigator, Explorer and Eudora. While Web Confidential is suitable for a wide variety of personal data, from creditcard numbers to serial numbers, Alco Blom designed Web Confidential particularly for the World Wide Web in mind. "Increasing numbers of Web sites maintain some form of user registration," points out Blom. "You may not realize it, but in the course of time you may registered at a couple of dozen sites. Do you remember the passwords you entered for all of them?" Web Confidential allows Web surfers to store URLs, user IDs, and passwords in one secure location. Web Confidential can automate the process of logging into a password-secured Web page by automatically passing URL, user ID, and password to your Web browser. For opening pages containing personal account information at commercial sites, Web Confidential offers you the one-click convenience of its Password Shared Menu, saving you from having to retype your user ID and password each time you log in. To ensure the personal information stored in Web Confidential remains confidential, the program's password files can be encrypted using state-of-the-art encryption technology.
