CoolViews is a utility that adds functionality and visual enhancements to the MacOS 8 Finder. With CoolViews installed, you can get rid of shaded sort columns and row separators in the Finder's windows, resize the columns in Finder list views, set global list view preferences, override the date and time formatting used by the Finder, and even enable "secret" columns. MACOS 8 IS GREAT. AND WITH COOLVIEWS, IT'S BETTER THAN EVER! Every preference in CoolViews is customizable. You can use as much or as little of its functionality as you need: from the simplest enhancement to a complete overhaul of the Finder's windows. If you want to shorten the date used in Finder list views, decrease the column widths, and eliminate the lines separating rows, you can do that. If you want to completely override folder-specific list view preferences, use funky background colors in your windows, and add columns showing the creator and type of every file, you can do that too! Versions of CoolViews are available for both PowerMacs and 680x0 Macs, and in Japanese as well as English. CoolViews is compatible with MacOS 8.1 and works with other appearance-modifying utilities like Kaleidoscope. WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.0.1 Version 1.0.1 is a minor bug fix release. We recommend that all CoolViews users upgrade to version 1.0.1, especially those using 680x0 Macs and people using non-US versions of the MacOS. Details are available in the manual and on our web site. ABOUT QUADRATIC SOFTWARE Quadratic has produced several shareware and freeware titles for the Macintosh, including the popular cursor-focusing utility "Sloop". For more information about Quadratic Software or its products, visit the Quadratic web site at or send email to . This is the English version of CoolViews. Other versions are also available.

Most of the pictures in AWOL Utilities help files were captured using PictPocket. PictPocket "picks the pocket" of applications as they draw their windows, not after they have been drawn. This difference allows it to place in the Clipboard a 'PICT' which represents the actual elements drawn, rather than a bitmap (raster) image. (You choose whether or not to include the window frame.) Not only is a PictPocket 'PICT' smaller than a bitmap 'PICT', and not proportional in size to the depth of color, but you retain the ability to edit the picture later, using an application such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Change text, colors, position of elements, whatever! If you need a blow-up of the picture, just change the Page Setup scaling factor, and it will still print perfectly, with no bitmap "jaggies." Version 1.3 makes PictPocket much easier to use. Just press the Caps Lock and Shift keys, find the window you want to capture, click on it, and release the keys when the window starts to blink. Version 1.3.2 is a maintenance release with no feature upgrades. This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package, which includes the following programs: Virtual Desktop 1.9.1, Maybe 1.5.2, Help on Wheels 1.3 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.3), PictPocket 1.3.2, Menu Events 1.3.1, Menu Grabber 1.3.1, Trash Bag 1.2.2.

It's an entertaining application that places flashing light bulbs around the edge of your screen, as though a (well-insulated) elf crawled into your computer through the disk drive slot and stapled them there. The lights flash in the background while you continue to work, so it's not just a screen saver. The "bulbs" include standard Christmas tree lights, Valentine's Day hearts, Thanksgiving turkeys, chili peppers, shamrocks, stockings, holly, snowmen, happy faces, and more - and you can create your own bulbs using ResEdit or a similar program. Is it useful? Well... okay, no. Is it wonderful fun? Absolutely! For even more seasonal joy, Holiday Lights includes cheery background music (you can add your own MIDI files) as well as built-in festive screen savers to put you in the holiday spirit. Holiday Lights is an application, not a system extension, so it won't cause extension conflicts. It is compatible with System 7.0 or later, including Mac OS 8. You can try it free for up to ten days before deciding whether or not to pay the $20 shareware fee.

Maybe converts a Finder alias file to give it an additional effect. Converted aliases do more than just point to the original item. They can: - play a sound - open or print every item in the target folder - open some other item (document, application, folder, or whatever) first - send an Apple event to another program - make a startup item optional, by questioning the user, or checking the state of a key Maybe doesn't solve your problems directly, but it gives you the power to do a lot of things you've been wanting to do. Version 1.5.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0, and fixes some sound handling bugs. Versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 fix very minor bugs. This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package, which includes the following programs: Virtual Desktop 1.9.1, Maybe 1.5.3, Help on Wheels 1.3 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.3), PictPocket 1.3.2, Menu Events 1.3.1, Menu Grabber 1.3.1, Trash Bag 1.2.2.

The object is simple: on each level you must retrieve the Maze Jewel. However, you'll have to dodge the energy bolts thrown at you by a host of weird creatures. The Maze Domain is randomly generated, so it's different each time you play. Changes to version 1.5: improved and simplified game play, new and improved wall graphics, no time limit, smoothed out sounds, and more. Version 1.5.2 removes the delay before the ok button is enabled in the shareware reminder dialog, to avoid confusing some people who may have thought they had to pay before playing the game. Shareware, $10. For Mazeworld Abyss screenshots and news, visit our web page at . Mazeworld Abyss requires a Power Macintosh with 256-color or better graphics, 4.5 Megs of free RAM and System 7 or later. Requires Apple's ObjectSupportLib library (already installed on most Power Macs).

While grabbing an application, you can pull down a menu or use a keyboard equivalent to simulate the same action on the target application. This application can be useful in network management, and to people like me who sometimes forget to close a needed document before leaving the office. Version 1.3 adds a handy Refresh button, and makes it easier to deal with applications whose menus are sensitive to modifier keys. Version 1.3.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0.

Besides opening applications and documents, it runs 28 little utilities called externals. In a directory dialog (Open/Save dialog), you can use the menu to select a file or folder. Compatible with System 7 through 8.1. Some PowerPC code. Shareware, $10. OtherMenu 2.0 is at long last able to display icons in its menus.

With PowerCalc, you can easily calculate dozens of mathematical functions and operations. PowerCalc has a user-friendly, intuitive interface. It has complete balloon help, so if you're not sure what a button does, just turn on balloon help and point to it. PowerCalc supports standard, scientific, and engineering notations and can perform any of twenty-four trigonometric functions in either degree or radian mode. PowerCalc can store any four numbers in memory and can be recall them at any time. They're even saved after you've quit the program!

Each of these calculators is presented in its own window. You may have as many of each window open as memory allows. ScaleCalc is email-ware. If you like it, send me email. Please feel free to include complaints, comments and suggestions. The Scale Calculator The scale calculator is the simplest of the windows to operate. Just enter a set of measurements in either the unscaled or the scaled section, select a scale and click on the arrow pointing to the other section. For example, entering 1 in the miles box and clicking on the downward arrow will generate a scaled measurement of 60 feet 7 and 7/16 inches. (Note: If you follow this by clicking on the upwards arrow, the result will be 5279 feet, 11 and 51/64 inches. Since measurements are only kept to the nearest 1/64 of an inch, some accuracy is lost.) Conversion between scales is a two-step process best illustrated by example. If an HO-scale object (say a car) measures 10 (real) inches, and you want to know the size of the same object in N scale, enter 10 into the inches box in the scaled section. Select HO as the scale and click on the upwards arrow. Then select N as the scale and click on the downwards arrow. The scaled section will now show a length of 7 and 7/16 inches. The Grade Calculator To use the grade calculator, fill in any two of the four factors: horizontal distance, incline (track distance), rise, or grade. For grade use the percent, such as 2.5. Click on the "Use" radio buttons for the factors that you want to base the calculation on and the "Compute" radio buttons for the two factors that you want to compute. This will make the "Compute" push button at the bottom of the window active. Click it to calculate. Note: Exactly two "Use" radio buttons must be on to make the Compute push button active. Only for very high grades or very long grades will there be any noticable difference in the horizontal and the incline distances.
