I have a PowerBook 520 with only one serial port. This means that I cannot use a modem and AppleTalk at the same time. I like to be able to turn AppleTalk off before running my modem related applications. This OSAX allows me to do this by writing a script to run my modem related applications. It requires AppleScript 1.1 in order to run. 1.0.1 - 02.20.97 - I encountered a problem in which if you are using Classic Networking it would not set AppleTalk to be on after restart.

The Macintosh package batch-converts to and from the sound file formats SoundDesigner I and II, AIFF, WAV, VOC 8 & 16 bits, NeXt SUN.au, NeXt SUN.snd, Quicktime, System 7 Sound, Microsoft ADPCM, AIFC, 8SVX, AVR and provides the highest quality sample rate conversion among soundfile converters, look ahead peak limiting, gating, normalizing, word size conversion, region extraction, several stereo to mono conversions, optional dithering and much more. All parameters on a whole batch of differing files, from all 11 formats if required, can be set up before running the conversion as a background process, and the speed of the process is increased when run on a PowerPC or using a DigiDesign audio card (ProTools II, Audio Media II) on a 680x0 machine. BarbaBatch incorporates a file and folder play function, is Apple Scriptable and supports full drag & drop. For maximum clarity the input file hierarchy is copied to the output and a detailed log file is produced. The demo yields, when not using a digidesign card, 10 seconds of converted audio in every output AIFF file in order to show off the high conversion quality. It requires a PowerPC, or a 680x0 Mac with an FPU. The demo's of the complementary batch renamer NameIt, the text-list based file mover MoveIt,the utility that allows batch conversion using SoundDesigner plug-ins JoinIt, and the in-soundfile region renamer AffixIt are also included in this archive.

Default Folder is a shareware control panel that enhances Open and Save dialog boxes to make it easier for you to manage files on your Macintosh. It provides many of the essential features of the commercial SuperBoomerang and Directory Assistance utilities, but without the infrequently used extras that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage. Default Folder's time-saving Open and Save dialog enhancements allow you to: Set up a default folder for any or all applications. Switch among recently used folders from a pop-up menu. See available disk space and switch between disks from a pop-up menu. Click on a Finder window to display it in an Open or Save dialog. Open the folder shown in an Open or Save dialog in the Finder. Create folders, get information (including changing name, type, and creator), and move items to the Trash from within file dialogs. "Rebound" back to the last file you used. Make "Replace" the default option instead of "Cancel" when saving a file with the same name as an existing file. Speed up the display of Open and Save dialogs by turning off custom color icons in the file list. Default Folder will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher, and is accelerated for PowerPC.

Please see the section on Bug fixes for a full list. Added Event Report window that shows a detailed description of everything that occured during the last End of Turn. Use Cmd-E to show and hide it. Combat is now calculated differently. The population of your planet helps to defend it, so heavily populated planets are harder to take over. Also, a low tech ship will do a small amount of damage to a high tech ship, so a big tech advantage is no longer a guarranteed win (but it's still pretty important). Ship damage is now automatically repaired at planets while they are docked. You can now scrap ships from within the Ships in System panel. Ships must be at a planet before they can be scrapped. Added a Patrol mode for ships that gives them a defensive bonus while in star systems. Systems protected by patroling ships are shown with a circle around them. Added a New Ship Destination feature for star systems. Use this to have newly built ships at particular star system automatically head to a choosen destination Added keyboard equivalents for many commonly used buttons.

Special thanks go to Christoph Sahm for his work in localizing Sleeper. Please place this alongside the English and French versions already in the archives. Sleeper is a shareware control panel for desktop Macintoshes and Power Macintoshes that dims the screen, powers down Energy Star compliant monitors, and spins down disk drives after periods of inactivity. 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 7.6, 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. In addition to the standard internet archives, information and updates are available at: Sleeper may be included on the Info-Mac and UMich CD-ROMs. [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/sleeper-211-de.hqx; 263K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Mar 1997 04:46:18 -0700 From: daix@clipper.ens.fr Subject: [*] Software & Hardware Tracker 1.2 Software & Hardware Tracker (Info-Mac directory and reference "app/software-hardware-tracker.hqx") is a FileMaker Pro 3.0 relational datab= ase which will help you collect, store and organize useful information (such as registration codes, serial numbers, product notes, useful adresses as well a= s phone/fax numbers and URLs for software authors, companies and distributors, etc.) about all your computer products (hardware, software and freeware/shareware).

Eight of them change the default sound output volume, eight of them change the alert sound volume. Sure, you could do the same thing with applescript, but these are much faster and smaller. Sound Manager 3.0 or greater is required to run these. Here's some suggestions for what to do with them: a. Put them in a folder within your Apple Menu Items folder, so that you can change sound and alert volumes without opening the sound control panel. b. To make your startup chime very quiet, put the file "set sound vol 0" -- or an alias to it -- into your shutdown items folder. Put another file, say "set sound vol 5", into the startup items folder to set the sound volume of your mac after the chime plays.

Plug-in module for UltraFind 2.5.2 UF Text Indexer is a modern indexing engine for Mac & PowerPC that can pre-index your documents making text searches not just fast - but instant. Designed to allow text searches with Context display (shows the actual sentences the words were found in), it indexes target sets of folders which can be anywhere on your hard disk or network, or even on CD-ROMs or on off-line volumes. (so you don't need to have your files on-line to text search them!) Also unlike normal indexers, it can search on *parts* of words as well as whole words, and it will index all languages - including Japanese. It is also highly accurate and will never produce false hits. While indexing provides super-fast access to your documents, the downside is that the indexing process itself is naturally very slow, and should be done either in the background or at night (You would not want watch a few thousand documents being indexed). However, because the UltraFind Text Indexer is *incremental*, it does not need to re-index everything, instead it only indexes new or updated documents, making re-indexing simple and very fast. 1.0 - 1.1.1 WHAT'S NEW?

Learn a basic vocabulary including the following using 3. Word recognition The program has four modes of operations, including three exercise modules. In addition, the program can be set up to keep track of the progress of the student by keeping track of the results of each exercise, and printing a report at the end. Mode 1: At the main menu, you can click on any of the letters on the screen. You will then hear the pronunciation of the letter in question. Mode 2: Find the letter exercise. The program displays a letter and after a delay, the letter is hidden. The student must then find that letter on the screen and click on it. The program will allow three tries before giving the correct answer. In that case, the computer will show the letter and say it. The delay is variable depending on the student$B%f(Js response time, and will adjust to the ability of the student. Mode 3: Find the missing letter. The program says a word and writes it on the screen. After a delay (variable as in the previous exercise), one of the letters is hidden. The student must then click on the missing letter. The program will allow three tries before giving the correct answer. In any event, the program will say the missing letter, spell the word, and say it. Mode 4: Find the missing word. The program will ask the student to find a specific word. This word is written and spoken. After a variable delay, the word is hidden, and four choices will appear. The student must click on the missing word. The program will allow two tries before giving the correct answer. In all cases, the program will say the word, spell it, and say it again before generating another exercise.

The inflection of words is one of the most difficult parts of learning many foreign languages since there are numerous inflection patterns. "Verbs&Nouns" is an application that helps you to learn these patterns and refresh your knowledge about the rules for the inflection of verbs and nouns in a foreign language. The program has many other useful features to help you to learn or research a foreign language. It can be used as a dictionary as well. It can automatically search the database to find a word copied to the clipboard for instance. The program lets you create a database of words in a foreign language. You can easily construct the inflection patterns (rules) for words that are regular. You can include other information about each word, such as a translation, grammar characteristics, comments, etc. in a convenient form. Comments are useful for storing examples of the use of the word, or for recording other information. The facility for merging databases makes it easy to share comments with other users. The program has an exercise window. It automatically generates exercises to allow you to practise inflection or translation. You can identify many groups of words (and collect them in classes) to use them in exercises or for browsing. The program has sound support to associate the sound samples with words. There are some inflection dictionaries written this program already. There are: Italian Verbs and Nouns, Polish Verbs and Nouns, Russian Verbs and Nouns, Swiss-German Verbs and Nouns, Greek Verbs.
