Ever tried to find the right clipping among a bunch of "Text Clipping 1", "Text Clipping 2", etc? It's not too bad with one clipping, but more than a couple leads to long sessions in the Finder assigning useful names, wasting the time you saved. ClippingNamer helps you manage clippings. Without leaving your current program, you can: * Automatically assign a new name based on the (text) clipping contents. * Automatically create a thumbnail image (icon) for picture clippings. * Popup a dialog that lets you see both ClippingNamer's and the Finder's suggested names, and use either one or a new name you type. * NEW - Save text or picture clippings as SimpleText files instead. * NEW - Append text clippings to existing files/clippings instead of creating new. You can set any of these modes (or none) as the default, and invoke any of the others with modifier keys (completely customizable). There are several other convenience options as well. UPDATE: Version 1.1 fixes a bug that caused renamed clippings to move around on the Desktop under OS8. It also adds the save to file and append features. v1.1.2 fixes a problem on some machines where the factory preferences got lost, resulting in nothing happening regardless of hotkeys. ClippingNamer is $10 shareware. See for this and other shareware products.

While most of us know this is not entirely true, there is a mentality out there that is very difficult to overcome. The MacOS can do most of the things Windows can, and in many cases can do them better. However, believe it or not, I have heard many people complain that they don't like to use the MacOS because it doesn't have a "Run" function. Phooey! The "Run" function of Windows is one of the most inefficient things I've ever seen when it comes to computer interface design. However, I'm not going to ignore the "Windoze Whiners." In this case, I'm going to one-up them. MacRun is my answer. It, very simply, adds the same functionality to the MacOS that the "Run..." command gives Windows. It is also much more configurable than its Windows counterpart as well as much more powerful. When installed, MacRun will appear very familiar to those Windows users that desire the "Run..." command. After a bit of use, they won't know how they could ever stand the Windoze "Run..." command! Version 1.2 adds the ability to open internet addresses as well as folders. MacRun requires a 68020 Mac running System 7.5 (7.1 with Thread Manager installed) or better. Future updates to MacRun will be available at the SearchWare Solutions web-site (http://www.radiks.net/search).

MyEyes is a small extension that draws on the menubar a pair of eyes constantly following the cursor movement. Using a control panel you can modify almost every aspect of the eyes (color, position, behaviour). MyEyes also supports plug-ins (External Eyes Sets), giving users the opportunity of designing their own eyes icons and/or use icons made by other people. What's new in MyEyes 2.3 The final 2.3 version includes all changes and fixes from the previous beta versions plus: - Fixed missing Balloon Help for the popup menu in the Control Panel's Info dialog. - Fixed missing Low Memory alert in the Control Panel. Main changes and fixes from version 2.2.2 General: - Recompiled with CodeWarrior=AE Professional release 3. - Completely rewritten in C/C++. - Mac OS 7.1 or later is now required for running MyEyes. - Added support for Conflict Catcher=81 4.1 vendor information format. - New External Eyes Sets: "Comic Eyes". - Updated External Eyes Sets: "Egyptian Eye". Control Panel specific: - The setup application is now a Control Panel item (in fact, an application control), with an almost completely redesigned interface and a new icon. - Now External Eyes Sets are selected from a scrolling list in the Settings dialog. The list shows custom Set icons and supports full keyboard navigation and selection. - Now developers can associate default preferences to External Eyes Sets requiring specific settings to work properly (see the "About External Eyes Sets" file for details). - Now External Eyes Sets can be automatically installed into the "Eyes Sets" folder and activated when double-clicked in the Finder. Double clicking an Eyes Set already located into the MyEyes Sets folder makes it active. - Under Allegro (Mac OS 8.5) Eyes Sets dropped on the System Folder are automatically routed to the MyEyes Sets folder. - Two new buttons have been added to the Settings dialog. The "Default" button applies 'factory settings' to the currently selected Eyes Set. The button named "Use Current Set Preferences" restores current Set's default preferences. - Added the "Select All" item to the Edit menu. - Now the Edit menu items are enabled/disabled consistently with the [Archived as /info-mac/gui/my-eyes-23.hqx; 500K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 09:55:02 -0700 From: h.prill@magnet.at Subject: [*] Phonemic Font Pack 1.1.1 this is version 1.1.1 of the Phonemic Font Package, a set of PostScript fonts for phonetic transcriptions on the Macintosh.
