Version 1.5 improves on saving position data and catches some error messages. I have abandoned saving the position files as separate compiled script files, and store the data within the script application itself. I like this arrangement even better because there are fewer dialogs, and fewer files to store. If you want to save different sets of positions, just copy the script application and rename it to something that will tell you what set you are saving.

Flush It! is a small application that gives you control over when and how often your disk cache gets written out to disk. It operates in two modes: manual or timed. In manual mode, Flush It! will flush the disk cache for all of your mounted disks only when you tell it to. In timed mode, Flush It! will run in the background and flush your disk cache at a time interval you select. Flush It! is designed to be a "set-it-and-forget-it" background application. It occupies a very small memory partition (64K on machines running System 7; 80K on systems using Mac OS 8), making it an ideal candidate for your Startup Items folder. The original Flush It! was released as freeware, and remains so. Flush It! 2.0 is, however, being released as $3.00 US shareware. This software is not disabled in any way. You are free to use it for evaluation purposes for a period of thirty (30) days. If you like it, and decide to keep using it, please pay your shareware fee of $3.00 US by cash, check, or money order mailed to: Jack Browning 210 McKnight Road Fairview Heights, Illinois 62232 Apart from my sincere thanks and gratitude, paying the shareware fee will entitle you to advance notification of new versions of Flush It!. Payment of your shareware fee will be acknowledged by e-mail, so please include your e-mail address with your payment. If, after the evaluation period, you decide not to use Flush It! 2.0, or pay the shareware fee, destroy any copies you may have. Flush It! 2.0 may be included on CD-ROMs, or in other software compilations, so long as it is not sold separately and this documentation is distributed along with the software. I retain any and all commercial rights to this software, and any commercial, for-profit distribution of this software is prohibited unless prior written authorization for such distribution is obtained from me. Flush It! 2.0 is being distributed "as-is", without any warranty, either express or implied. Damages resulting from the use of Flush It! 2.0 shall be limited to a refund of the shareware fee, if such fee was paid by the person making a claim for damages.

Do you have more images than you can comfortably manage? Or, do you need an easy and flexible way to make image tables or image indexes for your web pages? QuickNailer gracefully combines an elegant and convenient image thumbnailer, contact-sheet maker, and media cataloger with a flexible and complete tool for producing HTML image tables and image indexes with linked pages. QuickNailer's responsive, uncluttered user interface facilitates: Importing a few or a few thousand digital media files (including Photoshop, JPEG, GIF, QuickTime Movies, etc.) by dragging-and-dropping files, folders, volumes, servers, CD-ROMs, aliases or scanning the desktop; Media previewing (as variable-size thumbnails displayed with user-selected image information, individual images, slide shows, cell animation, tiled images [optional text or image overlay], all at any magnification level); Searching and ranking keyword relevancy (using file name, comments, folder name); File maintenance (edit file name or comments, put file in trash, launch file using any application, move file to another folder, open file's folder). In addition, QuickNailer generates fully functional web sites or HTML image tables. QuickNailer includes an online hyper-linked help system and tutorial. The application is PowerPC accelerated and has been rigorously tested and internationalized. Many new features and refinements have been implemented for version 1.3 including: High speed media catalog file format; Significant improvements and enhancements to HTML generation including multiple index pages; Contact-sheet file divider (useful for submitting multiple index files to internet newsgroups); QuickTime movie playback in full-screen slide show; Info Window additions; Bug fixes; and much more. Please see the Softwhir web site for more information. (Minimum requirements: 68020 or better CPU; 4MB RAM; System 7.1 or newer; QuickTime 2.5 or newer.)

This is v1.4 which improves on the manner in which I send quit events to applications and handles background only processes better. Some apps take the "activate" command and display their "About this App..." screen. With this version, I wrap a simple error trap around a test in between two variations on quiting the app (thats a mouthful)...bottom line is that you should be able to quit out of applications more reliably and leave background processes alone. This assumes that background only processes are background only because they shouldn't be quit easily. System requirements: *System 7.x through OS 8, with AppleScript and the scriptable Finder (a standard part of the OS since System 7.5) * S=E4ndi's Additions, a scripting addition available on info-mac =46or more information, please read the included ReadMe file or check my web= site: http://www.inch.com/~tjb/adoor.html Thanks Tom http://www.inch.com/~tjb/adoor.html [Archived as /info-mac/gui/quit-everything-14.hqx; 8K] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Sep 1997 07:34:21 -0700 From: dev.support@aladdinsys.com Subject: [*] shrinkwrap3 ShrinkWrap is a utility that can easily turn a disk into an electronically transmittable file (via the Internet, etc.) and then just as easily, return it to an exact disk image of the original source disk.
