Subject: [*] BitMapMusic v 1.3

BitMapMusic is a music notation program, suitable for short scores and
situations where you don't want to be bothered with anything much more
complicated than "click and drag".  -Although I don't think that this is
the tool for your next symphony.... :-)
Printed output, although limited to the screen resolution, is reasonable
enough to read
comfortably.

BitMapMusic is now released as "freeware".

Subject: [*] CDFinder 1.5.1

CDFinder 1.5.1

CDFinder catalogs CD-ROMs, ZIPs, floppies, SyQuests, and everything else
that turns (even your file server..) and allows you to search for anything
in those catalog files.

It is very fast, supports drag&drop, is PowerPC native (but also fast on
any other Mac with at least a 68020 CPU), and is trilingual
(English/German/French).

CDFinder is shareware (15 US$ for a single user license) and in Germany
already quite popular.

The new version 1.5.1 is the first MacOS application using the new
contextual menus of MacOS 8(besides the Finder, of course!). Other features
include French menus and proper treatment of self extracting archive files.

Give it a try!

Norbert M. Doerner  (Doerner@kagi.com)

May you live long and prosper!

Subject: [*] File Buddy 4.3

File Buddy 4.3 is the latest release of the popular Mac file utility
File Buddy. Version 4.3 fixes a few bugs and improves functionality in
several areas. Most notably:

The Get Info Window
   Changed File Buddy's behavior when launched by dropping a file onto
File Buddy's icon and it comes up in the Get Info window. In prior
versions, trying to drop a second file produced an alert that said "Only
one Get Info window is allowed when File Buddy is opened by dropping
files to the Get Info window.", and File Buddy would quit when the
window was closed. Dropping a second file opens another Get Info window,
and sets File Buddy to not quit when they close.
   File droplets created by the Get Info window now have the option to
launch files dropped on them after making changes. Double-click a
droplet to set this capablility.

The Find Window
   As before, if a folder in the Find window's folder list is not
available, the icon next to it is dimmed (or blank). Now, instead of
ignoring clicks on dimmed icons, one of two alerts will appear. If the
item resides on a volume that is not available, an alert asks you to
insert the disk on which the folder resides. If the folder has been
deleted, a different alert is displayed.

File List Windows
   The Rename Sequentially... command (in the Special popup menu in file
list windows) has a new feature. If the base name entered begins with an
asterick '*', the rest of the base name and number are appended to each
file's original name instead of replacing the original file name with
the base name.

Copying Files
   File Buddy now supports multiple copy operations, and the copy
progress dialogs are no longer modal.
   Copying files is more responsive to canceling, faster, and more
accurate in predicting whether or not there is adequate space to
complete the copy.
   There are several changes to what is seen when copying files with the
Replace Different option: First, only the number of items that will
actually be copied is shown, not the number of items that would be
copied in a normal copy operation.

Subject: [*] Finder View Settings 1.0 for MacOS 8 - globally set folder view

Program:   Finder View Settings 1.0 FAT for MacOS 8
Author:    Alessandro Levi Montalcini <alm@kagi.com>
Price:     $10 (shareware)
Register:  http://order.kagi.com/?67
Download:  http://persoweb.francenet.fr/~alm
           ftp://ftp.alpcom.it/software/mac/LMontalcini

  Finder View Settings makes it much easier to manage the new
MacOS 8 folder-specific view settings. It can globally override
all of your folder-specific view settings, making MacOS 8 behave
more like System 7, or easily change the requested view settings
for single folders or entire disks.

  To globally override the view settings, Finder View Settings
must be stored in the Control Panels folder so it can patch the
System at startup. You can then enable or disable the Finder
overriding option with the appropriate check box in the main
window.

  To permanently change the view settings for a given set of
folders, you can drop them on the Control Panel's icon or into
the main window. Finder View Settings doesn't have to be in the
Control Panels folder for this to work.

Subject: [*] HICAP 1.6

HICAP 1.6
Electronic Circuit Analysis Program

This Freeware application simulates circuits, and its waveforms as you
would see either on a six-trace oscilloscope, or on a signal
frequency transfer curve plotter.
The application has Mac-Draw like graphic entry of resistors,
capacitors, inductors, diodes, and dependant or independant
voltage or current sources.
Clusters of components can be assembled to subcircuits.

The number of components in this freeware version is limited to 60.

15 types of independant sources (generators) are available, ranging from
sine, step, pulse, or free (graphically entered) waveforms to those used
in power electronics like pwm inverters and thyristor rectifiers.
The sweep is plotted during the calculation. Intervention is possible to
modify anything in the circuit, then the sweep can be resumed.
Many sweeps can be displayed on one screen to see long term effecets, or
to see what changed after a circuit modification.

HICAP runs on any PPC or 68k mac, even under system 6 as long as you
have less than 8Mb of memory. If you have more, load HICAP before
other application so it resides in the first 8Mb of RAM.

New in version 1.6 :
Pasting outside window prevented.
Multiple voltage clipped capacitors allowed.
Any mix of diodes and saturable inductors allowed.
Multiple use of most generators allowed.

Subject: [*] Smart Scroll 3.0J - Japanese Version

This is the Japanese version of the Smart Scroll package.

Smart Scroll enhances regular scroll bars so they show how much of a
document is displayed in a window. The indicator thumb in scroll bars
becomes proportional: If a window is displaying half of a document, the
thumb will be half the scrollbar size.

This gives you an idea of how large the document is, without having to
scroll the window to find out. Try it for yourself, it speeds browsing the
Net or going through your email, for example.

Smart Scroll also adds Live Scrolling, which updates the display as you drag
the scrollbar thumb. Just release the thumb when you see the part of the
document you want: no more guessing where you'll end up!

All scrollbars benefit from these improvements, even those hidden in Open
and Save dialogs. After a few days of Smart Scroll, going back to regular
scroll feels like something is missing!

Changes in version 3.0J:

*Supports Mac OS 8
*New Control Panel (with advice and ideas from Arlo Rose: Thanks!)
*New 'Appearance' thumb style
*Improved guessing of thumb proportions for many apps (thanks to Jens Alfke!)
*Added support for Netscape (note: turn off Netscape's own Active Scrolling)
*Added support for Eudora
*Added support for CodeWarrior
*Misc. changes and fixes (thanks to Mark Nagata!)
*Fixed click-on-thumb bug in some list views when running alongside
Kaleidoscope
*New 'Exclude Applications' feature

Subject: [*] Super Mac Freecell 1.5

Super Mac Freecell is a super addictive solitaire card game. What makes
Super Mac Freecell more interesting than most solitaire card games is
that the possibilities to win are only limited by talent. Nearly every
game (approximately 99.99 %) of Super Mac Freecell can be won. This
doesn't mean it is simple. Far from it, there is room for almost
limitless improvement. This makes Super Mac Freecell much more
interesting than solitaire variations like Klondike, where luck is a
large factor in the game.

Super Mac Freecell is US$15 shareware. It is available from the BrBo
Software web site <http://www.brbosoftware.com/super_mac_freecell> and
all major Macintosh shareware ftp sites. Version 1.5 is a free upgrade
to registered users of any earlier version.

System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or other computer running MacOS
System 7.0 or later. Super Mac Freecell is distributed as a Fat Binary
that runs on 680x0 machines and PowerPC computers.  Super Mac Freecell
is MacOS 8 compatible.

New Features in Super Mac Freecell 1.5

 * Multi-Column Moves
		Now Super Mac Freecell will handle large column moves with utmost ease by
		using empty columns as temporary space to move cards into.

* Unlimited Undo
		You can now undo your game all the way back to the start. And when you save
		your game, the undo history is saved with the game.

* Add-on Deck Support
		Have as many card faces as you want, just add them on. The format is easy to
		build and anyone can make a card face.

* Game on hold
		Allows you to quit the program with an unfinished game. When you start your
		next session of Freecell you're given the option to finish the game from
the last
		session.

* Improved User Interface
		Improved preferences dialog makes things easier, combined with other
little fixes
		make playing Super Mac Freecell even more enjoyable.
