Subject: [*] MacCrypt 1.0


MacCrypt is a program which creates cryptograms from a text file and
challenges the user to solve them. Its features include a list of available
letters (those not yet used in solving the cryptogram), the ability to enter
the plain text by either typing the letters or by dragging the letters from
the available list, the giving of hints, a game timer, multiple levels of
difficulty and the ability to select from multiple files of puzzles.

look much better than the MacOS default ones.  You will need ResEdit and

Subject: [*] Phonemic Font Pack 1.1.2


This is the new version of the Phonemic Font Package for Macintosh. It 
contains two fonts in PostScript Type 1 format with all the IPA symbols 
for phonemic transcriptions of English.

This is shareware. If you pay the registration fee of US$10 / EUR 7.30 / 
ATS 100,- you can receive the full version, which contains all the 
symbols for English, French, German and Italian transcriptions in both 
PostScript and TrueType format. Instructions on how to register are 
included.

http://www.aardvark.at/software/

Changes in this version:
A number of very important updates in the documentation (new registration 
procedure, new download URL, new contact e-mail address). No change to 
the actual fonts themselves.

Have fun,
-H.P.

Subject: [*] Screen Fortress


Daniel Gagner
Tools for Teachers
Freeware
Needs an 040 or greater mac.

Screen Fortress is a bit less than a fortress but nevertheless it does
provide a way to stop someone for prying into your computer without a
little effort.

Installation: Drag the folder to your hard drive after unstuffing.

Double click on either file (they should stay in the same folder to
work) to start.

You can place it or an alias of it in your startup folder to lock the
computer at startup if you have a server or other computer needing a bit
of security.

Screen Fortress is simply a bound Filemaker Pro document. It puts
nothing in your system folder and as such shouldn't affect anything. You
don't need Filemaker Pro to use it.

I have included the unbound version of screen fortress. I do this in
case someone would like to see the simple database programming. This
part will not work without Filemaker though.

Subject: [*] Startup Doubler 2.5.4 - For Faster Start-Ups!


Startup Doubler: for faster startups!
v2.5.4  April 5th, 2000

Startup Doubler makes for quicker startups: Its software acceleration 
compensates for sub-optimal disk performance to make extensions, control 
panel, the Finder and startup applications load faster.

Save time each time you startup your Mac!
Those seconds spent waiting while your Mac starts add up to a lot of 
time. Startup Doubler usually makes startups 20% to 50% faster, depending 
on the performance of your startup disk and the number of Extensions, 
Control Panels and Startup Items in your System.

Version 2.5.4, released today, adds support for Mac OS 9.0.4.

Startup Doubler runs on Mac OS 9.0.4 and previous versions (going back to 
System 7.0), and supports multiple extension sets. It is shareware, so 
you can try it for free then buy only if you like it. The shareware fee 
is $20, registered users of previous versions may upgrade for free.

You may download the latest version of Startup Doubler or get more info 
from www.marcmoini.com

Subject: [*] The Atomic Mac 3.7.3


The Atomic Mac is a periodic table of the elements for the Macintosh. In
addition to the usual information found in such programs, The Atomic Mac
also contains a wealth of nuclear information on each isotope, including
half life, decay mode, and daughter products. X-ray data (fluorescence and
binding energies) is also available. A molecular weight calculator makes it
easy to find the molecular weight of compounds. A shaded diagram showing
the ranges of physical properties makes it easy to visualize relationships
across the periodic table.

Data is displayed for the following physical properties:
Density
Heat of Vaporization
Heat of Fusion
Specific Heat
Thermal Conductivity
Linear Expansion Coefficient
Melting Point
Boiling Point
Atomic Radius
Covalent Radius
Magnetic Susceptability
Electrical Resistivity
Electron Affinity
Electric Dipole Polarizability
State (gas, liquid, solid)
Photoelectric Work Function
Electronegativity
Crystal Structure
Valence

Subject: [*] virtual wine cellar 2.3


virtual wine cellar 2.3 - readme

(c) 1998-1999, stefan schramm
rootsolutions@kagi.com

virtual wine cellar helps you track your inventory. It keeps you
informed about stock and history, shows the current value of your wine
collection , keeps track of your suppliers, and gives you the option of
ordering directly from within wine cellar. Order forms can be customized
for any language.

System requirements: Macintosh or Windows computer and Filemaker Pro 3.0
or later.  Because virtual wine cellar doesn‚t display overly fancy
screen layouts, it will run smoothly on borderline performance systems
(e.g. mac ii series).  A 15" color monitor or larger is recommended.

Key features:
* intuitive, point and click interface - no knowledge of filemaker pro
required.
* fields for wine name, country, appellation, grape, year, maturity,
etc. in logical grouping.
* summaries for number of bottles, total cost, market value, and
appreciation.
* automatic reminders for wines that reached/passed maturity.
* easy order - ordering directly from within virtual wine cellar using
your computer's faxmodem or printed order form.
* extensive finding and sorting functions.
* displays your own rating both numerically and graphically.
* optimized print form.
* report function for further editing in your favourite word processor.
* extensive, context-sensitive on-line help.

Does anybody have any ideas on rescusitating a Duo 280C? It won't
start. I've tried resetting the power manager (hold in the power key
for 30 seconds) a bunch of times, but it just won't get going. There's
no information besides the above in the FAQs.

Subject: HP870 no work on OS9

Does anybody know how to get an HP870Cxi to work on OS9? The most
current version of their driver doesn't work. On the website there's a
download to update that driver specifically for OS9, but the updater
itself crashes when it tries to update the Appletalk driver. This is
with both dirty and completely clean installs of the HP software. HP
has no recourse other than to pay for a service call, and I'm not about
to pay them to ask why their software crashes. Is there a fix that
works somewhere?

Thank you very much indeed for all the answers you sent me
about the iMac freezing on shutdown (iMac DV, 400 MHz with
USB Zip drive).  It did'nt freeze at all when sleeping.
Only at shutdown.
Everything solved (that is one week without problems)
after I installed the version 2.2.1 of the iomega drivers
Thanks again
