This is an easy-on-the-eye Kaleidoscope scheme designed for long periods of use. In its year of existence, it has been described by reviewers as being superior to other implementations of the Apple Mac OS8 platinum appearance. Amadeus 1.5.7 is a major upgrade that increases Mac OS8 support under Kaleidoscope 1.8, with popup windows, bevel buttons, and OS8 folders. As the version number indicates, this is still compatible with earlier revisions of Kaleidoscope, all the way back to Kaleidoscope 1.5. Support for Amadeus can be found on the web at the Kaleidoscope Way: Amadeus will not be seen on the official Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive.

Thanks to the contributions of various people, you can now turn your Mac into a farm by making it play an animal's sound every time you type the animal's name!

Install the two enclosed packages. You simply select DemoNp from left diamond (BookPicker) popup menu and 0 or 1 from right diamond (PicturePicker) popup, then drag the image around or use slider in lower-right-hand corner to zoom about last penned point. I've included crosshairs to show you the last pen position where the zoom is about. This helps the eye keep track of where you are in the image of a map or a book page. I recalled once, Next machines had advertised such a finder feature based on its powerful processor. When you dragged your window objects, you didn't merely see an outline but the whole object moving. With pages of a special sort of newton press book comprised only of pictures and the help of Steve Weyer's newt compiler and newton's NTK, I've figured out how to continuously slide and zoom, on the newton (so far tested on mp2000 and mp130 and very fast on both). In particular, I have enclosed a sample file (DemoNP) with a picture of a map page from http://superpages.gte.net on the internet and a typeset page from Los Alamos scientific bulletin board also on the internet. This allows one to feel like the huge page is just under the screen to slide about. Cross hairs at the pen let you see your place marked as you slide it, so you effectively have a huge virtual screen to read from on a pocket computer. The newton can simulate such large virtual screens fast! A whole lot can fit in your pocket! Soon, my newton gps talking-map program will soon will be able to do this. May you live ten thousand years, Newton, and of course Apple!

Concordance is freeware. =A9 1995-1998 by Giovanni Giusti . Concordance picks a TEXT file, reads it, then displays some information about the original file, such as size, number of words, number of different words, etc. It also creates an index containing a list (the "concordance") of all the words, together with how many times each word appeared in the original. Thus it is useful for statistical purposes ("How many times did I mention "barracuda" in my article?"). This list can be sorted prior to saving. Starting from version 2, you can also output a list (the "wordlist") of all the words with the "pages" they have appeared in - a sort of very basic indexing. The problem is obviously that plain-text files don't have any page breaks, so the "page" is calculated on a n-characters-per-page basis. This list, unfortunately, cannot be sorted, because it is created on the fly while saving it. But you can sort it through your favourite word processor, can't you? Changes since version 2.0b1 - Now concordances can be sorted by number of occurrences as well as alphabetically. -- Pompamagna home page: [Archived as /info-mac/text/concordance-21.hqx; 99K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 12:31:15 -0700 From: support@quadratic.com Subject: [*] CoolViews 1.0 - Enhance Finder list views WHAT IS COOLVIEWS? At last, the OS 8 functionality people have been waiting for is here! 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. 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.

Many typing experts believe this to be the best system for typing. The standard QWERTY layout (named for the keys on the upper left side of the keyboard) was apparently designed in the early years to slow typists down (so early typewriters wouldn't jam). By the time the typewriters caught up in speed, it was too late to change the layout because too many QWERTY typewriters existed. The Dvorak system tried to correct the layout problem over the years. But only with the arrival of the personal computor has the Dvorak system become practical. This is because, unlike typewriters, personal computers can work with any keyboard layout that's installed. So, while one user of a particular typewriter might type with the standard layout another user can just as easily type with the Dvorak layout. MacTypingTutorDv (Dvorak layout included) will help you learn touch-typing Dvorak style. The program is very EASY to use. It lets you customize how you work (hide/show typing, hide/show screen-keyboard, hide/show feedback window). It's FLEXIBLE you can adjust difficulty level from very easy to hard (this is also a good feature for children). The program automatically remembers your work-preferences from session to session. Note: the program also comes in a regular version (MacTypingTutor), for those not yet ready to switch. wroger@tiac.net wroger@aol.com W.

The Japanese version of this freeware utility is provided as a service of Bridge 1 Software You know the popup menu you get when you command-click a Finder (tm) windowユs title bar? This control panel adds similar functionality to most applications. This version requires System 7.5 and works in a very simple manner: it looks for a unique open file of the same name as the window, and displays the popup if found. The filename must be the same as the windowユs title. If there is no matching file no popup will appear and the window will drag as normal. If there is more than one matching file, a small disabled popup menu will appear telling you this. If the navigation popup menu appears, you can drag through it; if you select an item, then Popup Navigator tells the Finder to display that item. Just like folder windows in the Finder!

PowerMenu is the definitive, comprehensive Contextual Menu utility. PowerMenu adds powerful commands to the Finder's Contextual Menu under MacOS 8, and provides its own Contextual Menu for System 7 users. PowerMenu's wide range of commands lets you: *Open selected files into any running application *Open selected files into any other application on your system *Move, copy or make an alias of selected files into target folders of your choosing *Quickly open commonly used files or launch any application That's not all! PowerMenu also offers the following features: *"File Copy and Paste", a unique feature that makes manipulating files in the Finder much easier. With File Copy and Paste, you can pick up files and drop them into another folder. You can even "gather" many files from different locations and copy or move them all to a single target folder with just a few clicks or keystrokes! *A pop-up menu, accessible from any application, that lets you quickly open or launch your commonly used files and applications with a single click. *Fully hierarchical menus to allow you to group items into submenus for even faster access *Multithreaded operation; PowerMenu rebuilds your menus in the background while you work, so even very large menus appear instantly *Takes full advantage of the Contextual Menu under MacOS 8, but is still fully compatible with System 7! Version 2.2.1 (January 5th, 1998): Bug-fix release. Problems addressed include bugs when pasting multiple files under System 7, pasting files to the desktop under Japanese systems, moving files to a non-existent folder, and incorrect refreshing of the contextual menu when "running applications" is disabled. Enhancements include more intelligent alias resolving for items on remote servers, less intensive background activity and better compatibility with At Ease.
