Subject: [*] CyberStretch by Jazzercise: An interactive Screensaver


Product: Cyberstretch by Jazzercise
Version: 1.0
Demo: 30 day
Abstract:

CyberStretch is an innovative new software program that offers energizing 
stretch breaks to reduce tension and repetitive stress injuries in an 
easy-to-use interactive screensaver format. It consists of 26 
body-specific, timed stretches (in full color illustrations) and 26 
action tips (vision and relaxation breaks, posture checks and fitness 
tips). 

CyberStretch is designed to:

         * Allow the user to work at a computer in greater comfort. 
         * Provide the user with needed posture, relaxation, vision and 
fitness breaks. 
         * Offer body-specific, timed stretches; all stretches are 
physiologist-approved. 
         * Help reduce muscle tension and the risk of a repetitive stress 
injury. 
         * Improve "environ-mentality" by increasing ergonomic awareness. 
         * Enhance the mind and body by reducing physical and mental 
stress. 
         * Address workplace issues mandated by governmental agencies. 
         * Enhance productivity. 
         * Run on Macintosh and Windows. 
   

 System requirements:
* System 7.1 or better including System 8.1
* Power Macintosh or 68040 recommended

Subject: [*] Revised Submission

This is version 0.3 of TempCleaner. It now sports Balloon Help in the 
finder and a better Icon. Following is a suggested blurb:

Before MacOS 9, the Temporary Items Folder was a visible folder in 
the System Folder and users could just throw accumulated cruft in the 
Trash. With OS 9, Apple hid the Temporary Items folder so well that 
not even Sherlock can find it. This is further explained in Article 
#25134 from Apple's Technical Information Library.

The solution - Apple says they will fix the problem and I'm sure they 
will. Until then, they recommend an AppleScript that doesn't actually 
work. TempCleaner does work by searching the Temporary Items Folder 
at startup and, if there is anything there, moving it to a 'From 
Temporary Items' folder in the Trash. Actually, it won't move more 
than 20 at a time but I wanted it to be fast enough that you wouldn't 
notice it.

Subject: [*] Screensaver


This award winning screensaver counts the time to a user specified target
date. The Cosmos Clock defaults to counting down to the year 2000. In
addition to counting to a date in the future, the Cosmos Clock can also
tell you the time since an event occured. Besides being a very functional
screensaver, the clock is filled with 3d animated graphics of all the
planets of the solar system.

Subject: [*] video-toolbox-00-06-22-c.sit

The VideoToolbox <http://vision.nyu.edu/VideoToolbox/> is a collection of 
two hundred C subroutines and several demo and utility programs that I 
and others have written to do visual psychophysics with Macintosh 
computers. It's fully compatible with 68K and PowerPC Macs and with 
Metrowerks CodeWarrior and Symantec C compilers. It's free and may not be 
sold without permission. It should be useful to anyone who wants to 
present accurately specified visual stimuli or use the Mac for 
psychometric experiments. The Videoásynch page discusses all the ways of 
synchronizing programs to video displays and the many pitfalls to avoid. 
The TimeVideo application checks out the timing of all video devices in 
anticipation of their use in critical real-time applications, e.g. movies 
or lookup table animation. Videoásynch reports all known bugs uncovered 
by TimeVideo's testing of 56 video cards and drivers. Low-level routines 
control video timing and lookup tables, display real-time movies, and 
implement the luminance-control algorithms suggested by Pelli and Zhang 
(1991). In particular, CopyWindows (or CopyBitsQuickly) faithfully copies 
between on-screen and off-screen windows (or bit/pixmaps), WindowToEPS 
saves an image to disk as encapsulated PostScript, for later printing or 
incorporation into a document, and SetEntriesQuickly and GDSetEntries 
load the screen's color lookup table, all without any of QuickDraw's 
color translations. NoisePdfFill.c quickly generates visual noise images 
whose pixels are samples from a specified probability density function. 
High-level routines help analyze psychophysical experiments (e.g. 
maximum-likelihood fitting and graphing of psychometric data). Assign.c 
is a runtime C interpreter for C assignment statements, which is useful 
for controlling experiments and sharing calibration data. This collection 
has been continually updated since 1991. Nearly two hundred colleagues 
subscribe to the email distribution (see below), and have indicated that 
they are using the software in their labs. Documentation is in the source 
files themselves. Many of the routines are Mac-specific, but some very 
useful routines, e.g. the luminance-control, statistics, 
maximum-likelihood fitting algorithms, and the runtime interpreter are 
written in Standard C and will work on any computer. Those wishing to 
acknowledge use of the VideoToolbox software might cite:

My Syracuse University access to the web is being restricted to syr.edu
