MacWaves has taken Macintosh IRC from lagging behind it's PC counterparts to setting a standard to be emulated by PC programmers! MacWaves is the ultimate electronic diplomat, making seamless use of AppleScript communications pipelines to tightly integrate itself with Onno Tijdgat's ircle and Norman Franke's SoundApp, thus allowing Macintosh users to effortlessly play and share sound files of many different formats on IRC (including aiff, midi, wave and Mac OS sounds). MacWaves uses an autoloading IRC event-handler in ircle 3.0 which passes events to MacWaves and permits the user to automate many functions such as ping, autogreet notice, part notice, whois on notify, automatic signon and change of IRC servers, single-click file requests online, automatic dcc-sends of requested files, single-click play of sound files, user-friendly popups and single-click manual dcc-send of files. MacWaves can play and get files and popups in any channel, query or dcc-chat window. Furthermore, users can distribute their sound files among any of 7 folders, a first for IRC sound players! This is only a small sampling of the capabilities of MacWaves. Please visit my web page at http://home.earthlink.net/~aragorn2 for full details, and most important of all, enjoy MacWaves v2.1! It was created for your IRC enjoyment! :) questions/comments/suggestions: aragorn2@earthlink.net Robert J.

Each image is accompanied by a caption that gives information about the image. I obtained permission from the Space Telescope Science Institute and NASA to compile this information into a tutorial presentation. More of their astronomical images can be seen at their web site at www.stsci.edu. The tutorial is for educational use. A worksheet is included with the stack which can be filled out by students as they view it. Hyperstudio Player 3.1 is needed to view the stack. The included worksheet is in two formats, Claris Works 4.0 and Simple Text. This entire package is freeware and can be distributed to anyone who is interested.

This is release 6.0 of the plug-ins. The plug-ins included are: 1. Run MacPerl (version 1.2) - updated 2. Check Perl Syntax (version 1.2) - updated 3. Run MacPerl Front (version 1.2) - updated 4. Run File with MacPerl (version 1.2) - updated 5. Edit MacPerl Script (version 1.0.2) 6. Shuck (version 1.0.1) - updated 7. Perl Filters (version 1.1.4) - updated 8. Perl Palette (version 3.1 by Lindsay Davies) Some changes from the previous release are: 1. The plug-ins will attempt to launch MacPerl if it is not running when used with BBEdit Lite (formerly the plug-ins would only attempt to launch MacPerl when used with BBEdit, not BBEdit Lite). 2. An option was added to the Run MacPerl plug-in to send STDOUT and STDERR to a file with a name based on the name of the file containing the script that is run. 3. The Run MacPerl plug-in is scriptable. 4. BBEdit file groups are listed in the floating window of the Perl Filters plug-in. The plug-ins are freeware.

It has two kind of plug-ins: Watcher (the plug-in that does everything) and Module (a plug-in containing resources). You may create plug-ins, quickly and easily using Witchdoctor itself. After its creation a Watcher can perform up to five series of actions: 1) Nothing. Two ways file conversion (docA<->docB). One way file conversion (docA->docB, docB->docA). According to file opened, and following the plug-in setting, Witchdoctor may change Finder Infos, add resources from a Module or may zap the whole Res Fork. For example: up until now in order to create self-extracting compressed archive, you need to open the document with whatever program goes with it, then save it as a self-extractor. Now instead, after you've created the appropriate plug-in, you can just drop the document on Witchdoctor, and it will output a self-extractor, and vice versa. You may also create simple de-sea plug-ins or else custom plug-ins to just change types and creators of specific files. 2) File filter. The Watcher, here, may stop itself or else continuing according to its setting. 3) Nothing. File's Finder flag bits changing (stationery, locked, invisible and so on). The Watcher allows you to change all bits or else what you want. 4) Nothing. Type and/or Creator changing. Unlike the first action, here the Watcher may change without perform any check. 5) Nothing. File deletion. Direct file launching. File launching by means of alternate applications. File duplication. File trashing. File copying. Alias creation. You may select manually the plug-in that should work, or let Witchdoctor choose the appropriate one. In a few words plug-ins creation is limited only by your creativity. By using a bit of fantasy you may create plug-ins for (little) security erasing, or to launch a self-extracting archive after its creation, or to open all dragged files by using one alternate application, or to open any dragged file by using several alternative applications. And so on... Last but not least, Witchdoctor may create Witchcraft! Witchcrafts are stand-alone applications containing a Watcher and, optionally, a Module. You may create Witchcrafts as 68K, PPC or FAT application type. They work just as a Watcher selected manually. As bonus Witchcrafts may contain custom About boxes. Both Witchdoctor and Witchcraft may work on folders! Witchdoctor is Internet Config aware, Appearance Savvy and requires at least System Seven to run. Think different, use Witchdoctor!
