Perth, Western Australia - 21 Sept 2000 - It was announced today on 
interarchy.com that Interarchy 3.8, the new version of Anarchie, has 
been completed and is ready for download.

"When we released Anarchie 1.0 almost a decade ago, it provided Mac 
users with the first integrated and reliable way to search for and 
retrieve files from the Internet.

The latest evolution Interarchy 3.8, continues that tradition of 
innovation and integration.  Interarchy 3.8 is a single small Mac 
application that combines over thirty useful Internet functions with 
a customizable user interface.

We are very pleased to present to the Macintosh community what we 
feel is a truly complete Internet interface."

   - Andrew Tomazos, Producer, interarchy.com

Interarchy 3.8 is a powerful and flexible Internet interface for Mac 
OS. It can transfer files via FTP and HTTP, search the Internet to 
find the files you want, provide a wealth of information about remote 
servers as well as your local Internet connection and Internet 
applications, help manage remote servers, let you remotely control 
and test your Macintosh across the Internet.  All Interarchy 
functions can be accessed via the menus or alternatively via a new 
user interface technology called wands.  Interarchy wands are 
shareable, linkable, easy to make and very versatile.  As user 
interface elements, wands have many diverse applications beyond 
simply providing alternative interfaces to Interarchy, they can also 
be hyperlinked to other wands, the web, other applications, 
AppleScript or indeed any document or URL.

Q1.  What can Interarchy 3.8 be used for?

PORTAL - By customizing an Interarchy wand and then placing it in 
your Interarchy Statup Addresses, a user can create a single personal 
user interface element that can be used as a starting point for all 
Internet tasks performed on their Macintosh.  This includes not only 
the thirty or so functions Interarchy provides but also accessing web 
sites with a web browser, reading email, newsreading, telneting, irc 
or indeed anything that can be initiated with a URL or by launching a 
file.  Interarchy wands are simply drawn wysiwyg with any image 
editting program such as Photoshop and then compiled and hyperlinked 
with Interarchy WandForge, a freeware application included with the 
Interarchy installer.  The entire process is quick and painless, and 
we include a default interface and other examples and demos with the

Subject: [*] CRefDynGenStrArray AUG26_00.sit  (into Development)

STL-vector<char>-based dynamic array of generic strings. Supports storing 
of Pascal&C style strings, STL strings and vector<char>.

All strings are kept in single storage buffer, so even very large number 
of items will not cause memory management overhead. Occupies StringLen[0] 
+ ... StringLen[n - 1] + 2*n*sizeof(size_t). In other words, 
CRefDynGenStrArray is really space efficient.

CRefDynGenStrArray maintains additional reference table of real indexes. 
Thus, many functions will involve only operations with reference table. 
For example, Insert() actually appends item (what is much faster) and 
inserts only entry into reference table; Swap(), Move() and sort will 
cause changes only in reference table.

Refer to http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ for more info.

Subject: [*] Dhammapada 1.2

The Dhammapada is a collection of 423 Buddhist verses, arranged into 26 
chapters by topic.  It is said by many to contain the essence of the 
Buddha's teachings, and is one of  the best-loved works in the Pali Canon.

This application generates a verse of the Dhammapada each time it is 
opened, making it a nice addition to the Startup Items folder.  In 
addition, the entire text of the Dhammapada is available for browsing and 
reading in the conventional, linear way.  Individual verses and chapters 
can be saved as text files and printed from the File menu, and the Edit 
menu allows copying of the text.  If you encounter any unfamiliar terms, 
there is a "Useful Definitions" item under the Apple menu.

Version 1.2 offers improved support for printing

This application is offered as a free gift of Dharma.

Font Smoothie 1.2
Written by Nick D'Amato
¨ 2000 by No-U-Turn, Inc.

Requirements
Mac OS 8.5 or higher. Any PowerPC Mac.

What's new in 1.2?
You can now change the view font from Font Smoothie. Now you won't have to
wait for the Appearance control panel to launch every time you want to
change your views font. You can do it all from Font Smoothie.
Fixed some minor bugs, and added some minor enhancements.

What's new in 1.1?
Some minor fixes and interface touch-ups.

What is Font Smoothie?
Font Smoothie is a small application that will allow you to achieve more
control over your fonts. This program is targeted towards system fonts,
their sizes, and their font smoothing minimum size.

The MacOS systems only allow a select range of fonts to be used as system
fonts. This is the overall font that you see in the titles of windows,
menus, dialogs, etc. There is also a restriction on size: the font can only
be 12 point.

Font Smoothie will allow you to change the system font to any font that is
available in your system. It also allows any size font. Some fonts look
better bigger, others smaller, depending on the situation and font design.

You can now change your views font from Font Smoothie as well. This is the
font that displays underneath the icons in the Finder. This can also be
changed by the Appearance control panel. But if you're like us, you hate
waiting for the Appearance control panel to load, and it is much nicer to
change all fonts from one program.

A relatively new enhancement of the MacOS is the ability to have the
on-screen fonts anti-aliased (smoothed). This makes the fonts look much
better, and add s a touch of class to the OS. A restriction exists that only
allows the font size to be 12 point or higher. Font Smoothie allows fonts as
low as 9 point to be smoothed. Therefore, all fonts that are on-screen,
true-type, and 9 point or higher can be smoothed!

Font Smoothie is compatible with Kaleidoscope, and looks great when they are
used together. Kaleidoscope allows you to change the system font as well,
but there is a long-standing bug with it that causes the menus to have
ellipses in them. This makes all of the menus appear like this (Fiè  Edè
Speciè) Font Smoothie corrects this bug.

Requirements: Mac OS 7.5.3 and 8MB RAM
License:      TrailWare (limited time)
Price:        $29.95
Description:  

Quickly toss cookies, cache files, histories and more.

Every time you surf the Internet, your Web browser quickly collects lots of
little files and hides them on your computer, including cookies, cache
files and more. Many of these you may not even be aware of! These "little"
files (some can actually be quite large) can quickly add up, hogging disk
space, clogging your computer and leaving your privacy in question. iClean
lets you quickly eliminate these pesky files, giving back wasted disk space
and helping ensure your online privacy. 

Use it every day for peace of mind.

iClean is a great habit to get into. Protect your privacy and maximize hard
disk capacity by using it every day. A quick click on iClean's desktop icon
is all it takes. Select just the items you want to delete, and iClean
instantly goes to work, dumping cache files and cookies deposited by Web
sites on your Mac, erasing histories (that track where you've been on the
Web) and more. You get a comprehensive summary of items you can safely
delete, giving you total control over what iClean removes from your
computer. With iClean, complete peace of mind is just a click away.

Subject: [*] HexMapMaker 2.1

(This version 2.1 of HexMapMaker)

ABOUT HEXMAPMAKER

HexMapMaker is a shareware tool for drawing maps with hexadecimal grids.
These kind of maps are used in Role Playing Games, but of course you can
design them for any other purpose.

In addition of having most of the capabilities of a real painting
program (such
as lines, rectanges, ovals and round rectangles drawing, drawing and filling
with color and pattern , text writing, rubber tool, etc.), ½HexMapMaker© has
also unique features that greatly simplifies the building of this kind
of map,
such as:

- Three layers map. One layer for color and drawing, one layer for terrains
  and one layer for text. This way, you can for example change an hex color
  without loosing the terrain that lies on top of it.

- Hex color filling in just two clicks (one for selecting the color and one
  for selecting the filling shape).

- Predefined terrains. HexMapMaker comes with three predefined libraries
  for building regions, villages or dungeons.

- Terrains editor. If you do not like the terrain icons and want to modify
  them, the terrain editor is here for that purpose. Of course, you can
  also create terrain icons from thin air :-)

- Terrains repeater. You can repeat a terrain up to 12 times along the X
or/and Y axis.

- Various dimension units. You can specify the map dimensions in either
  cm or m or km. Alternatively, American people may prefer to use the
  ft, ya or mi dimension units.

- Selective drag or clear. As the map is made of three layers, you can specify
  which map layer(s) you want to drag or clear.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Power or 68k Macintosh
256 colors monitor
System 7.1.2 or better (Mac OS 8 or better recommended)
11 MB of free RAM (16 MB of free RAM if you design big maps)

Subject: IE 4.5.1 update

Does anyone know where to find Internet Explorer 4.5.1 update? I have IE 4.5
but lost the update and Microsoft no longer supports it, i.e. offers it on
their website.

Alas, my G4 has refused for about a year now to run 5.x version.
Too many freezes.

Thanks.

Charles,

I have to agree, although I think you are blaming the wrong culprit. I think
it's more likely to be the OS, not the programs you mentioned. I have
noticed that PC disk support has become progressively more flakey since
about OS 8.0. I also suffer from a particularly annoying
unmounting/remounting problem with PC floppies on the various macs I use (a
problem I don't get with mac formatted floppies). I don't suppose this is
much of an issue for apple since all the new macs are floppy-less......

regards,

andrew.

The best solution would be ethernet; but you'll need a JetDirect card or
external JetDirect from HP to network the printer. (I don't remember
whether the 6MP has an internal slot for the network card.)

There are other ethernet-parallel devices out there, but I know that the
JetDirect supports Appletalk, and that they're pretty much bulletproof
(we have a bunch of them in use around here, including the ones on our
(now old) HP5Si and ColorLJ printers...they served a network of some 300
users for many years, with few hitches).

You might be able to get by with a USB-Serial converter and plug into
the localtalk port on the HP.

The absolute best solution would be to get a Xerox printer...that's what
we ended up doing for some users recently. Similar price, form factor,
and the Xerox ones have USB, which none of HP's laser printers have. (as
of a few months ago)

Subject: systems for older mac's

I have a question on older Mac's.

Could anyone inform me on what older 'all-in-one' Mac's I can run Sytem 4.X?

I have some old favorite games that only run on this system version and I'd like to know whether for example an SE will tolerate this.

Please answer me directly via e-mail, as I have no regular access to this Newsgroup. My e-mail address is either stemerdi@cwi.nl or stemerdink_wichert@hotmail.com.

Thanks,

Gerrit Stemerdink
