Subject: [*] bedlam-2-106

Ground Zero Software, Inc. releases Bedlam 2 version 1.0.6.

Bedlam 2 is a fast action, arcade-style game with forty-five levels
of blistering game play.  Mankind has been virtually wiped out by an
extraterrestrial armada!  This shoot'em up game play puts you in the
seat of the XJ-777, code-named "Annihilator".  Only you can help save
the solar system from ruthless alien domination.  As you blast away at
the invading forces, your ship moves along the bottom of the screen
trying to avoid a barrage of enemy firepower, collisions with attacking
ships and the occasional chunk of floating space debris. By racking up
points along the way, you earn much-needed extra ships, and can even
capture hunks of gold bars released when you've demolished the ships of
some of the greedy trespassers. Other fun and nasty surprises
materialize during your long mission to free our galaxy from this evil
infestation.

Bedlam 2 contains over 10 music tracks utilizing QuickTime technology,
tons of sprites, high-quality "stereo" sound effects, and several full
256 color images.  The many exciting and nerve-wracking features are
sure to challenge your senses and give your mouse finger a workout.

Version 1.0.6 is highly recommended, especially for MacOS 8.5.

Version 1.0.6 changes include:

  - Fixed a memory bug from 1.0.5 which caused Bedlam 2 to crash on some
Macs.
    Note: v1.0.5 was a short-lived release.

Version 1.0.5 changes included:
  - This version is MacOS 8.5 compatible.
  - Better memory management.
  - Lower memory requirements (almost 700k lower than previous versions).

  - Holding down mouse button after destruction of last mothership will
skip
    the winning scene credits.
  - Faster drawing to screen (blitting).
  - Other minor tweaks.

More information about Bedlam 2 is available at our web site

Subject: [*] DarkLight...Tabs Update

DarkLight...Tabs for Kaleidoscope 2 is a twotone grayscale color scheme
featuring centered tabs on all document windows, dialogues and alerts,
instead of full width windows. These tabs allow for easy access to the
desktop. This scheme has a soft appearance and uses both French blue and
gold accents. A custom theme for Extensions Strip is included. Version
1.0.1 darkens the color of the apples in the popup windows' grow boxes and
fixes some inconsistencies in the borders of the scheme and in the custom
theme for Extensions strip. Freeware.

Subject: [*] Desktop Resetter 1.2.1

Do you keep your most used programs and files on your desktop for easy
access? Ever accidentally choose Clean Up in the Finder or find that after
you played that fun game which switched your monitor resolution, your icons
got all screwed up and thrown all over your desktop? Especially after you
just spent all that time placing them nice and neatly?
Desktop Resetter will 'remember' where you keep your icons, and if they ever
get moved, just run this program and it will automatically re-arrange them
to the positions you had set them to. It also works good as a startup item.
Just drop an alias in your startup items folder. Whenever your Mac boots up,
it will re-arrange your icons instantly.
 
What's New?
Desktop Resetter is now smart about the application switcher and will
remember its position on the desktop as well. (For 8.5 users only).
There are some other minor tweaks, including the removal of the "Resetting
Icons" window that comes up when performing a Reset.

Subject: [*] Finder Shortcut Utility: Launch Key 1.5

Launch Key empowers Macintosh users with a lightning-quick method to open
any Finder-selectable object, whether that object be a server alias, an
application, an AppleScript applet, a document, or anything else that
appears as an icon in the Finder. When activated via Launch Key, the object
behaves just as if it were double-clicked in the Finder. An example would
be an application, which would be launched and brought to the front.
Objects are activated simply by hitting a key combination.

Unlike similar utilities, Launch Key is an application, not an extension or
control panel. This means that it won't cause compatibility problems with
other extensions and control panels, and that it can be quit at any time to
free up additional memory. Yet, Launch Key still runs invisibly so as to
not complicate the elegant Macintosh user experience.

Version 1.5 enhances 1.0 by splitting Launch Key into two parts: a control
panel application and a background-only application. This allows Launch Key
to remain completely invisible while it's running and still have the
benefits of being an application.

Launch Key requires Mac OS 8, a PowerPC processor, and Navigation Services
(included for use with versions of Mac OS 8 prior to 8.5). It is sold as
shareware at a price of $15 for a single user license.

This program may be distributed in software compilations. Details are in
the Read Me.

Gander Quill 1.5.1 update.sit

A bug was recently discovered in Gander Quill 1.5 (part of the Font Gander
Pro package). The bug caused some keywords in some layouts to be ignored at
print-time (i.e., when printing the plug-in layouts from Font Gander Pro).
This small and simple patcher program takes only a minute to download and
apply, but users are advised to discard their current Font Gander Pro
plug-ins, and replace them with new plug-ins, built with the new patched

Ready to start messing around with OS 8.5 yet?  Good.

How about adding some useful command keys to the Finder?  Or maybe a more
interesting Trash icon?

This is a collection of simple ResEdit resources that you can use to modify
tour System, System Resources and Finder files.

All the usual warnings about ResEdit apply.  Perhaps I'll actually write a
patch application later on...

These are free, because who would pay for them?

Subject: [*] LibraryCataloger1.1.0 tracks books and articles

Library Cataloger is an application to help you keep track of your personal
library, and to help you create bibliographies for papers, reports, and
other documents which include references.

Library Cataloger requires system 7 or higher and both a PowerPC native and
a non-PowerPC application is included.  Only approximately 2 MB of free
memory are required and approximately the same amount of hard disk space is
needed. No Floating-point unit is required.

This an application which I created to fill a need of my own.  I
consistently find myself forgetting which papers I have photocopies of.
Also, just like everyone else who has to make bibliographies for papers, I
hate having to go through my papers to get all the information required to
complete the bibliographic entries.  This application will help you keep
track of the books and papers you have, and it will help you make
bibliographies when you need them by exporting bibliographic data in plain
text or LaTex format.

Version 1.1 is a major upgrade to earlier versions.  It has numerous bug
fixes which make it much more stable.

The user interface has been significantly redesigned to make it easier to
use. You may now store more information about a book or paper, you may now
add custom categories and types, and you can now also export to Rich Text
Format (RTF).

This archive contains both the text and html versions of the Mac-FTP-list.

To insure that the columns in the Format Chart section line up correctly the
document's text must be in a monospaced font such as Courier 10pt, Monaco 9pt,

of Diablo and Starcraft. With this program you can chat with people who are
in the game. It features user lists, customizable preferences, and more.

MacBattleChat also has a unique "bot" mode, making it the only Macintosh
"bot" for battle.net. What this means is that the "bot" can watch the
conversation and interject comments or answers based on your specifications.
It is easy to use and very powerful.

Subject: [*] MultiMode 1.2.0

MultiMode 1.2.0 is an application which allows your Macintosh to decode
several different modes of non-voice communication often heard on shortwave
radio.

MultiMode allows you to decode and display morse code, RTTY, fax, and many
other modes on your Mac, without any extra hardware! MultiMode now also
allows you to send morse code.

In the past, dedicated hardware, often costing hundreds or thousands of
dollars, was necessary to demodulate and decode this transmissions. Today,
you can use the processing power of your Macintosh to decode and display
these modes, without any hardware.

MultiMode decodes the following signals:

       Morse Code (CW)
       RTTY (Baudot)
       ASCII
       SITOR-A
       SITOR-B / FEC / NAVTEX
       WEATHER / SATELLITE FAX
       ACARS
       WWVB Time Decode
       DTMF
       Audio Spectrum Display to aid in properly tuning in stations

Description:
SoundRecorder records sounds directly onto your hard disk. This allows
you to record sound of almost any length (until your hard disk is full).
You can use SoundRecorder in the background. SoundRecorder writes the
data in a temporary file. When you choose to save the sound, the
temporary data is written to a final file. When QuickTime is installed,
you can convert and compress the data. The final file can then be opened
with MoviePlayer or any other sound editing software. You can control
and adjust the sound level with two sliders.
