Greater numerical accuracy, collision detection, improved graphics, basic 3-D support and on-line help are just a some of the new improvements in this latest release. Newton's Aquarium is an interactive physics package that helps students visualize and understand Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. While building and exploring their own solar systems, students are exposed to many of the core concepts in classical physics. Newton's Aquarium was designed for use in high school and college physics courses. Features: * Interactive 3-D n-body simulation * Display of velocity, acceleration and force vectors * Centre of mass and conservation of momentum * Collision detection * Variable G and distance exponent * Real mks units * Cut, copy and paste, export and print * Gravitation Ltd. 4.0 & 5.0 document support * Sample universes, stationery pads and student activities * On-line User's Guide, balloon help and tooltips Requirements: * Mac OS 7.0 or later (8.0 or later recommended) * 2 MB free memory (3 MB or more preferred) * 68020 processor or better (68040 or PowerPC recommended) During the last few weeks, teachers from around the world were invited to test and review Newton's Aquarium. Dr. Hal Hawley, a former physics teacher and K-12 Curriculum Specialist for Montana's Department of Education, had this to say: "The graphical imagery is wonderful. Your software is exciting and appropriate for anyone learning about the basic laws of physics. As a former physics teacher I find your curriculum to be outstanding. What a powerful and informative tool! You are to be commended for designing a first rate instructional program." Pricing for Newton's Aquarium starts at US$100 for a single school copy and US$20 for subsequent copies. School site licences are available for US$400 and larger licensing can be negotiated. A student edition is also available for US$28. A free feature-reduced demo can be downloaded from Eureka's web site (www.eureka.ca) for evaluation.

Most of the pictures in AWOL Utilities help files were captured using PictPocket. PictPocket "picks the pocket" of applications as they draw their windows, not after they have been drawn. This difference allows it to place in the Clipboard a 'PICT' which represents the actual elements drawn, rather than a bitmap (raster) image. (You choose whether or not to include the window frame.) Not only is a PictPocket 'PICT' smaller than a bitmap 'PICT', and not proportional in size to the depth of color, but you retain the ability to edit the picture later, using an application such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Change text, colors, position of elements, whatever! If you need a blow-up of the picture, just change the Page Setup scaling factor, and it will still print perfectly, with no bitmap "jaggies." Version 1.3 makes PictPocket much easier to use. Just press the Caps Lock and Shift keys, find the window you want to capture, click on it, and release the keys when the window starts to blink. Version 1.3.2 is a maintenance release with no feature upgrades. This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package, which includes the following programs: Virtual Desktop 1.9.3, Maybe 1.5.3, Help on Wheels 1.3 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.3), PictPocket 1.3.2, Menu Events 1.3.1, Menu Grabber 1.3.1, Trash Bag 1.2.2.

This release fixes the 'NavigationLib not found' problem on system 8.1 and older. Description Quit It is a system extension that automatically quits an application when its last window is closed by the user. This can be very useful when novice users are working on a computer, who often close a window by clicking on the close box of a document window, thinking the application is quit. This can easily lead to confusion, or memory shortage. Quit It can be fully configured through its control panel, with individual settings for installed applications.

Given the positions in the complex plane of the open loop poles and zeros of a system, ROOTLOCS plots the loci of the system's closed loop poles as the gain of the system is increased indefinitely starting from zero. ROOTLOCS can handle systems with up to 20 poles and 20 zeros, it offers a choice of working in either the S-Plane or the Z -Plane and it can plot the loci of both positive and negative gain systems. It also includes some useful 'tools' for getting quantitative information from the displayed root locus plots. The current version (3.0) is is a complete re-write of ROOTLOCS 1.0 which was posted to the archive some years ago but has long since disappeared. It is MUCH faster than the former version and incorporates numerous other major improvements. It is hoped that the program will prove a valuable aid to students of control engineering, and to practising engineers alike. ROOTLOCS requires System 7.0 (or higher).

A Control Panel is joined, which lets you change its preferences, and a Control Strip Module and a Contextual Menu extension are bundled. You can change all your resolutions with just one mouse click on the Finder desktop, or just by pressing one key. It also allows you to: ---------------------- * use *all* available resolutions of your video cards, not only those the MacOS choose for you * automatically switch resolution and color depth of all monitors when launching an application, and restore your settings when quitting * position the desktop icons where you want, at every resolution change and at startup * configure the menus by choosing which resolutions and what bitdepths will be displayed (Control Strip Module menu, Contextual Menu) and a lot of other features... SwitchRes requires MacOS 8, and a multisync monitor may be useful... Of course, SwitchRes works fine under MacOS 8.5 What is new in version 1.5.2: ----------------------------- Version 1.5.2 corrects some bugs, especially the one that prevented the last used resolution to be applied again after a restart. It should also be more stable at startup, and shouldn't crash any more when using an unknown display or video card. The main new feature is its ability to change the monitor where the menu bar is shown (in a multiple monitor environment) from within the control strip, the menu bar or the contextual menu. SwitchRes now displays the correct texts in the Japanese version, uses 32 bits icons under MacOS 8.5 and shows a proxy icon in the window title bar.
