CP290 Director is Macintosh software that controls the original X10 home automation computer controlled interface, model number CP290. It completely replaces the Macintosh software that comes with the CP290, and has unique features not found in other Macintosh-based CP290 controllers such as MouseHouse and Xtension. CP290 Director does not have to be running at all times to control the CP290, since it takes advantage of the CP290'S ability to store events for later execution. In addition to the standard CP290 features, CP290 Director supports the following additional features: 1) the ability to specify that an event is to occur at sunrise or sunset (plus or minus a specified time interval); 2) the ability to specify a specific date on which an event is to occur, and optionally the interval in days thereafter that the event should be repeated; and 3) the ability to specify that the event should occur only on even days or on odd days. System requirements: * System 7 or greater * Macintosh with at least 4 MB of RAM For more information, please read the documentation enclosed, or visit the CP290 Director Web page: http://home.cwix.com/~woodward@cwix.com/CP290Director.html Thanks, John Woodward http://home.cwix.com/~woodward@cwix.com/sw.html [Archived as /info-mac/app/cp-290-director.hqx; 634K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1998 17:44:33 -0700 From: csmolinski@erols.com Subject: [*] Diet Sleuth 2.1.0 Diet Sleuth 2.1.0: Diet Sleuth is a nutritional database and personal health logbook for the Macintosh.

MiniCalendar is your ordinary Kaleidoscope savvy system calendar. Its main goal is to provide the user with a basic calendar for any month between January 1582 and December 29940. MiniCalendar is not designed to replace full function date books, rather it is designed to complement such programs. Programs such as Claris Organizer or Now Up-To-Date excel at managing appointments and dates, but are clumsy when it comes to looking up what day your birthday is going to fall on next year. MiniCalendar fills this niche nicely. Since MiniCalendar is small and easy enough to use, you will want to leave it running so you will always have access to a calendar. As you'd expect from Catara, MiniCalendar is robust, 100% PowerPC native, easy to use, and efficient. For $5 shareware, it makes a nice addition to MacOS 8.x. Who will use MiniCalendar? - Users who need to look up dates, but do not need a full scale date book - Kaleidoscope / Aaron users who want a more unified system appearance - Users who want to show off to their PC friends that the Mac is not only year 2000 compliant but year 29940 compliant! - Or anyone who needs quick access to a calendar New in Version 2.1.1 - MacOS 8.5 Compatible - Better Support for Kaleidoscope. - Fixed a small bug in the current date drawing routines. - Various other improvements and bug fixes System Requirements - 680x0 or PPC - Color Quickdraw - System 7 or MacOS 8.0 - 256K of Free Memory [Archived as /info-mac/app/time/minicalendar-211.hqx; 417K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1998 16:16:55 -0700 From: egossaim@neca.com Subject: [*] On-Line Joke Book 4.0 The On-Line Joke Book Volume 4 is a collection of clean jokes and stories.
