It's great for running stand-alone MacroMedia Director movies as screen savers, executing AppleScript applets during idle time, restarting demos after a person walks away from an in-store Mac, etc. It will also keep applications like FileMaker Pro Server in the foreground so they run faster when the server is unattended. AutoLaunch is capable of locating an application anywhere on a Mac's hard disk, making distribution of Director presentations much easier - you don't have to worry about installation procedures or that users will move the presentation to another folder - it'll always work. A new capability in this release will make web browsers periodically cycle through a list of URLs, letting you display your favorite web pages during idle time! It currently requires some ResEdit manipulation to set the URLs, but future versions will provide a user interface if interest merits it.

The disk cache speeds up disk input and output by keeping the contents of files in RAM, rather than immediately reading or writing them on the disk. The problem with using a large disk cache is that when you save information, the data may end up staying in the cache for quite a while before it really gets written to your hard disk. If your Mac crashes before the cache gets saved, your data is lost. CacheSaver addresses this problem by periodically saving (or "flushing") the disk cache, thus minimizing data loss should your Macintosh crash while you are working. You can set CacheSaver to flush the cache whenever your Mac is idle for more than a specific amount of time, or it can do it automatically at regular intervals. CacheSaver also provides a hotkey so you can flush the disk cache manually.

When installed, it runs in background (no dedicated computer required) and: * stores all messages sent and received; * enables network access for CommuniGate users, maintains their mailboxes, queues, etc.; * loads and runs CommuniGate modules (i.e. Fax Gate, UUCP Gate, SMTP Gate, etc.) and creates the runtime environment for those modules; * maintains system activity log; * implements routing algorithms; * maintains a resource database and provides access to that database for CommuniGate users and CommuniGate modules (fax cover pages, sounds, voice scripts, info tables, etc.). The CommuniGate services can be accessed with the CommuniGator client software. The client software allows you to compose and read messages, to manage your mailboxes, etc. It is also used by CommuniGate administrator to configure, maintain, monitor and control the CommuniGate server - locally or remotely. With the POP Gate and SMTP Gate modules installed, the CommuniGate Server can be used as a messaging server for clients running not only the CommuniGator application, but plain POP-based mailers (as Eudora and Emailer), on any platform. With the IMAP Gate installed, the CommuniGate Server can be used with any IMAP-based mail client, on any platform.

An upgrade to my privacy protecting encryption application which runs in native mode on Power Macintoshs. Version 2.6.2 fixes some bugs and adds some minor features: * A problem selecting folders and multiple files in the vault window is fixed. * Added reveal-invisible menu command for finding those invisible vaults. * Fixed a problem that prevented using Self-extracting vaults in version 2.6. * Fixed drag-manager crash with old (version 7.1 or older) system software. * Fixed minor window position problem with two monitors You should upgrade if you are using any previous version of Enigma. Enigma is an application which can provide near absolute protection for your sensitive documents and applications. By downloading this application you can encrypt files using a limited version of the Government Standard DES algorithm. For only $20 this can be upgraded to the full DES standard (US and Canada only). Enigma supports vaults which are like very securely locked file cabinets. Multiple files are stored in them. Files can be added, deleted, renamed, and extracted at any time. You can create folders inside the vault to organize your files better. Entire folders can be extracted or added in one operation. Security is enhanced because filenames and lengths are protected by encryption in addition to the contents. No other free or shareware encryption program offers the flexibility of Enigma vaults. You can also create self extracting vaults to send to friends and associates who do not have the Enigma application. Self extracting vaults are stand alone applications that cannot be opened without the proper key. Enigma requires system 7.0 or later along with about 2 megabyte of memory and 400K of disk space. Documentation enclosed specifies ordering information for a system 6 or earlier compatible version, but the vault features are unavailable. -- Mike Watson O- mike@thenextwave.com Next Wave Software, Inc. http://www.thenextwave.com/ [Archived as /info-mac/cmp/enigma-262.hqx; 291K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Feb 1997 01:44:15 -0700 From: jwwalker@kagi.com Subject: [*] Find_icon 2.0, code to find an icon suite of file or folder These routines find an icon suite for an arbitrary file, folder, or volume.

Pokras Hyper-Stack Player Pro ("HSP Pro") is a player for HyperCard stacks which provides the functionality of all versions of Apple's HyperCard Player up to and including the lastest version, 2.3.5. So if your Mac did not come with HyperCard Player 2.2 or 2.3, you can use HSP Pro instead. Available separately for 680x0 Macs (68k version) and for Power Macs (PPC version). HSP Pro is an upgrade of my previously released Hyper-Stack Player 2.3. ***A special new feature is HSP Pro's built-in ability to view and edit scripts and the contents of locked and/or hidden fields.*** HSP Pro goes further than just allowing you to merely use HyperCard stacks: - create buttons which you can link to your favorite stacks (size, color and style are customizable. You can even add a monochrome icon of your choice); - use the "Print Stack..." and "Print Field..." menu commands of the "File" menu (these are ordinarily disabled in Apple's Player); - view and edit the contents of fields (even locked and hidden ones); - view and edit the scripts which make HyperCard stacks work; - add buttons to other stacks to give them added features; - other new features over previous versions are described in an "HSP Pro New Features" file which is included. Some features require a registration code for activation. HSP Pro provides a good way for school computer labs to provide access to their HyperCard stacks. A password protection scheme prevents the students >From making any unauthorized changes. Shareware $10/Mac; Site licenses $50/site (e.g., school computer labs or a single corporate location). Free upgrade for registrants of previous versions (or anyone who registers a previous version by February 28, 1997. See the included "HSP Upgrading & Special Offer" file). HSP Pro can be registered world-wide by credit card using either E-mail (with automatically encrypted credit card info), fax or snail-mail through the Kagi Shareware service.

First, among many other potential uses, Internet Logger will provide a convenient means to fully document your internet connections, including: Tracking session times and cumulative use time by day and month. Ability to enter complex session rate structures and automatically estimate session and cumulative costs by day or month. Ability to count down time remaining on either prepaid hours or hours charged at a flate rate. Optional Log file documenting session and cumulative times and estimated costs. Optionally compute session times by rounding up to the nearest minute. Some online services seem to compute times this way. You can check it yourself. Allows automatic connection via PPP, SLIP, or operation as a manual timer. Allows multiple timers with individual settings. You can keep track of use of multiple providers conveniently. Each can have it's own log file. Compatibility with Open Transport when used with OT/PPP. FreePPP v 2.5 or earlier are also supported. New features in version 2.1: OT/PPP support - to connect with OT/PPP just select OT/PPP in the Preferences. Resizable Timer Window - if the timer window is too small, Shift-click on the window and drag to resize the window. Once resized you can enlarge the fonts. Timers created with version 1.x are not compatible with version 2.x. Do not try to open Timers created with version 1.x.

This saves energy and reduces noise levels in your work area without forcing you to shut down your Mac. Because Sleeper does not rely on Apple's Power Manager, Sleeper will work on any Macintosh running System 7.0 or later, and does not suffer from some of the quirky behavior reported with Apple's Energy Saver 2.0. Sleeper is well suited for unattended operations as well as personal desktop use. For file servers, ftp and http hosts, and fax and BBS systems, Sleeper will wake the drives up when they are needed and put them to sleep when they are idle. Sleeper is easily configurable; it provides hotkey control for on-demand activation of its sleep features, and separate delay settings for screen dimming, monitor power down, and disk sleep. Sleeper will work on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, including System 7.5.5, and will spin down both IDE and SCSI hard drives. The screen saver feature requires a color-capable Macintosh, and Energy Star monitor support requires an Energy Star compliant Macintosh (any Mac on which Apple's Energy Saver control panel works) and an Energy Star capable monitor. Sleeper supports SCSI Manager 4.3 in native mode on all machines and requires only 26K of memory when operating.

The following is a list of the bugs that were fixed in Snapz Pro 1.0.1 Removed an erroneous check that caused Snapz Pro to not load at all on machines running an OS earlier than System 7.1.3. This affected only 68K machines. Revised the CLUT/video card synching code so that it doesn't erroneously attempt to synch them. Symptoms of this would be the captured image would be darker or lighter than it should have been. This only affected some PowerBook and grayscale monitor users. The Register Snapz Pro application now supports the ability to send eMail directly to us, instead of having you save it as a Text file. This works only if you have a SMTP server and TCP/IP connection to the Internet. Snapz Pro now gives you an error message if you run out of disk space saving screenshots.

It will work with 64K of memory although 128K is preferred (especially on systems with colors or levels of gray). It is a small application that puts on the screen a round clock to show the (system) time. You can move or resize the clock. Its window can be made globally floating ("omnipotent" mode): once omnipotent, TrueClock? always remain completely visible; it is not hidden by other windows. You can specify colors for the hands, graduations and background. You can disable the seconds and make the hands and graduations thick or thin. There is an optional "digital" display to show date/time/day_of_week/timer. Also, "Copy" (Cmd-C) puts the date/time/timer in the scrap, to be pasted in other applications.

It is fully compatible with 680x0 and PowerPC Macs and with Metrowerks CodeWarrior and Symantec C compilers. It's free and may not be sold without permission. It should be useful to anyone who wants to present accurately specified visual stimuli or use the Mac for psychometric experiments. The text file "Video synch" discusses all the ways of synchronizing programs to video displays and the many pitfalls to avoid. The TimeVideo application checks out the timing of all video devices in anticipation of their use in critical real-time applications, e.g. movies or lookup table animation. "Video bugs" reports all known bugs uncovered by TimeVideo's testing of 56 video cards and drivers. Low-level routines control video timing and lookup tables, display real-time movies, and implement the luminance-control algorithms suggested by Pell and Zhang (1991). In particular, CopyWindows (or CopyBitsQuickly) faithfully copies between on-screen and off-screen windows (or bit/pixmaps), WindowToEPS saves an image to disk as encapsulated PostScript, for later printing or incorporation into a document, and SetEntriesQuickly and GDSetEntries load the screen's color lookup table, all without any of QuickDraw's color translations. NoisePdfFill.c quickly generates visual noise images whose pixels are samples from a specified probability density function. High-level routines help analyze psychophysical experiments (e.g. maximum-likelihood fitting and graphing of psychometric data). Assign.c is a runtime C interpreter for C assignment statements, which is useful for controlling experiments and sharing calibration data. This collection has been continually updated since 1991. More that one hundred colleagues subscribe to the email distribution (see below), and have indicated that they are using the software in their labs. Documentation is in the source files hemselves. Many of the routines are Mac-specific, but some very useful routines, e.g. the luminance-control, statistics, maximum-likelihood fitting algorithms, and the runtime interpreter are written in Standard C and will work on any computer. Those wishing to acknowledge use of the VideoToolbox software might cite: Pelli, D. G. and Zhang, L. (1991) Accurate control of contrast on microcomputer displays. Vision Research, 31, 1337-1350. Reprints are available. http://rajsky.psych.nyu.edu/VideoToolbox/ WHAT'S NEW (since August 22, 1996): * Compatible with CodeWarrior 10. Mostly this was a matter of allowing CodeWarrior to update the project format, in the Project setting "C/C++ Language", setting "Source Model:" to "Apple C", and enabling all C/C++ warnings and "Treat all warnings as errors". * AfterDark.c enhanced by David Brainard to return the current state, so you can restore it later. * AtExitToShell.c has additional documentation (no change in source code). * GDOpenWindow.c made C++ compatible (thanks to Eric =46redericksen). * GDOpenWindow.c enhanced to support 24-bit color (thanks to David Brainard). * GDOpenWindow.c Fixed long-standing cosmetic bug in GDDisposeWindow(); it now restores the CLUT to a standard color table, and redraws the desktop, so that everything will look normal. * Quitter.=B5 Metrowerks project now has the "High Level Events Aware" bit set, so Quitter works again. * Seconds.c: new function s=3DSeconds() returns time, as a double with 20 =B5s or beter precision (20 ns on PCI PowerMac), since the Mac booted. Unlike the routines in Timer.c, Seconds() is immune to interrupt suspension (at least on PCI PowerMacs), and has no overhead and no side effects. * SndPlay1.c comments now include links to good references (no change in source code). * Timer.c documentation: added Apple's confirmation, forwarded by Sigurdur Asgeirsson, of the formerly undocumented need to keep zeroing the tmReserved field. It's all now documented in Tech Note 1063, which cites the VideoToolbox. (Thanks Eric Simenel.) * VBLInstall.c: You can now find out the time elapsed (in microseconds) since the beginning of the frame (i.e. last vertical blanking of your monitor). vblData->microTicks is set to Microseconds( ) at that time. Based on a suggestion of Stefan Treue. * VideoToolboxMATLAB.c was discarded because it's no longer needed.
