It allows to fit multinomial models of arbitrary size to frequency data using the "General Processing Tree" algorithm developed by Hu and Batchelder (1994). AppleTree can read model files and data files written for the MS-DOS "MBT" program developed by Xiangen Hu, University of Memphis, Tennessee. AppleTree is freeware. It runs natively on both 680x0 and PowerPC Macs. See for latest informations. Changes since version 1.0.3: * The parameter estimation process is significantly faster than in previous versions. * Some commands are moved from the AppleTree window to the menu bar. * Extended Drag&Drop support: Equation files can be dropped on the Model field. Data files can be dropped on the Data field. Tree graphs can be dragged from their window to any other program supporting Drag&Drop for PICTs. * Trees and categories can now have names instead of numbers. * The order of parameters in the branch equations must be the same as their order in the tree. * Minor cosmetic changes Requirements * MacOS 7.5 or later * Motorola 68020 or better (no FPU required) or any PowerPC.

This version of my collection of AppleScript scripting additions includes several new commands and a new coercion, as well as a number of improvements to existing commands. Here's a summary of the recent changes: * Made "alias information" command take an alias descriptor also instead of only alias files. This could affect scripts since an alias to an alias file will now return info about the alias instead of the alias file. * Made "machine environment" command return Open Transport status and hardware ethernet address if OT is running. * Added "load embedded scripting additions" command. * Reworked docs in HTML. * Bumped the version up to 2.0 just for the heck of it. * Extensive modifications to "screen list" and "set screens to" commands to make screen ids 1 based, add actual screen names, refresh rates and lists of possible resolutions. Unfortunately, dealing with the refresh rate requires Display Manager 2, which is included in System 7.5.3 and available separately. If DM2 is not installed, the "screen list" command will not return refresh rate or supported resolutions and the "set screens to" command will error if you try to change the refresh rate. Added "safe resolution" property, as well as adding "resultion index" for more reliable access to the various resolution modes.

For example one can change Photoshop JPEG files to open up in GraphicConverter instead of Photoshop when the file is clicked on. This application is great for newsgroup use because it also recognizes .zip and .hqx files and changes them to open in StuffIt Expander=81. All the Mega Change converters support the use of YA-Base64's (commonly used to convert binary files to usable form) numbering format of duplicate files (rock.jpg, rock.jpg.02,rock.jpg.03) through .09. Mega Change also comes in handy when scanner software saves files to open up in their own programs (UMAX-VistaScan). Mega Change can batch process folders, or one file at a time. When batch processing Mega Change targets only files that end with a certain tag (.jpg .gif) or are already that type of file. Simply drop the files you want to change on the application and it is converted. There is no need to worry about accidentally changing any other files. Mega Change filters out all files that aren't pictures, so you could drop your hard drive on Mega Change and all the pictures would be changed. Mega Change 1.1 works with these applications: - GraphicConverter - JPEGView - Photoshop - ZipIt =46or more information, please read the "How does it Work?" file enclosed.

(This file is copyrighted by the original author Chad Magendanz, the Japanization staffs, and MuON which is Macintosh Users' group in Japan.) - Original Author: Chad Magendanz - Representative of translators: Yoshimichi Kawamoto - MuON's Foreign relations: Takaaki Hiroshige Abstract: This is a Japanized version of ShrinkWrap version 2.1, which is a useful utility originally written by Chad Magendanz. It was localized for Japanese Macintosh community by MuON ( Macintosh Users' group On Network). >> NOTE:This version (2.1JP1) is NOT an updated version of 2.1.<< ShrinkWrap is a utility made to manipulate all types of disks and disk images on the Macintosh. Using ShrinkWrap, you can create disk images by simply dragging and dropping your drive icons onto the ShrinkWrap icon. It is implementing extensive drag and drop and AppleScript support, and supporting almost all known image file formats, including its new self-mounting image files. If you have the StuffIt Engine installed, ShrinkWrap will automatically compress, decompress or encrypt the image files as they're created, mounted, copied or converted according to the options you set in preferences. This Japanized version requires a Japanese system (i.e., KanjiTalk) 7.x or better, or an English system 7.x or better with a suitable version of Japanese Language Kit.

Meanwhile you can make the cookies slide along one of the three diagonals of the box trying to form bigger groups. You have options for the box size, the number of colours used, random arrivals of new cookies and different scoring methods (ex. bonus if at the last taking move all the corners are empty). The HELP menu gives a more detailed description of the options. Requirements: no color, no screen size, System 7 only for one type of random arrival out of three (which will deactivate on previous systems). Seemed to work fine on an SE30 / System 6.0.4 .

It works by providing a variety of prompts to which pupils can respond in specific terms. These responses are then collated into a first draft with tools for pupils to resequence paragraphs and add text. Reports can then be exported as a text file for finishing off in a standard word processor. As well as helping to write specific reports, the elements of a simple report structure is laid bare for pupils so that they will be able to attempt similar reports themselves, perhaps after completing 2 or 3 computer-assisted reports. The original stack was writtne in 1993 using HyperCard 1.2.2. The stack has been updated to work with HyperCard 2.1 and above but hasn't otherwise been altered. MacinTalk was originally needed for the Speak Report button to operate, but the Speech Manager in system 7.5 will removes the need for MacinTalk. TeachText or SimpleText (which you are using now to read these notes) can also be used to read, edit, and print the text files created by the report card in the stack - if you haven't got a word processor.
