This version features casino Rules for Atlantic City, the Bahamas, France, European Rules outside of France, Lake Tahoe, Louisianna Riverboats, Reno, Downtown Vegas, Northern Nevada, Various Indian Reservations, and many popular Casinos that have other bonuses not a part of the standard rule set. Each casino has its own "Best Play Table", which you can review online, and have the computer coach you when you make a misplay on any of the hands. There is also a simulator mode, where you can watch million of 'trials' take place, so you can understand why each play is deemed best. Blackjack Deluxe also offers an intuitive card counting tutorial, teaching 15 different systems of play. You can practice using both the card counting drill and the best play drill, which will grade you either in a specialized "test mode" or while leisurely playing the game. And what casino experience would be complete without a waitress? Blackjack Deluxe lets you set the personality of your hostess, just as an added tidbit. Enjoy!

Catalogs are saved as QuarkXPress documents, with an option to then save as Acrobat PDF files. Some uses for QXP PhotoBook are printing out thumbnails of images contained in a folder, or cataloguing a CD library of images to QuarkXPress files. QXP PhotoBook accepts any image format accepted by QuarkXPress including PDF and GIF, as well as formats not supported by QuarkXPress, such as Adobe Photoshop files, by choosing to import the PICT preview of images, or by using third party XTensions. Users create catalogs by drag and dropping files or folders onto PhotoBook's window or icon. Many formatting options are provided, allowing users to choose page size, colors, fonts, captions and headers and footers. The fully featured caption option can - by using simple tags - automatically write a variety of information about the image to the caption, such as the file's name, size or dimensions, and more. This versions corrects errors with captioning and importing of EXIF JPEGS (digital files from cameras).

With most other players, you only get video in a tiny area of your screen, or in an area surrounded by a huge border of some sort. VCD Player smoothes the video playback process and allows you to watch full-screen movies in the MPEG format, without any headache-inducing distortion to make the movie unwatchable. There are various configurable options that control sound and playback, and just as with a sound-only CD player, you can control which track to start watching. VCD Player can remember where you stopped playing the movie after you quit the program, restarted your Mac, or even changed to another disc then changed back. System Requirements - Power PC - QuickTime 2.5 or later - QuickTime MPEG Extension 1.0 or later What's new? - VCD Player now supports chapter list (if available).
