Our detailed explanations and remedies are included for the most common of these errors. The type of detailed information can be selected from 2 categories: a Non-technical User orientation and a Programmer orientation. The Non-technical User explanation is presented in a way that someone without a programming background can understand. The Programmer explanation is written in VERY technical terms that usually includes source code that demonstrates the error.

MacUser Utility of the Year 1996 and America Online's Mac Utility 1996 Shareware Award Winner and Shareware Junkies Mac Program of the Year 1997 NEW!!! Starting with version 4.3 the preferences allow you to change settings for individual programs. The previously hardcoded settings are already preset but can be changed. **MacOS 8 compatible! **Full Drag & Drop compatibility! **Use up to 100 independent clipboards by menu or simple key commands! **View and access all the clipboard using the CopyPaste Palette! **Append text to 1 of 10 files on disk at any time! **Process text, picture and net data on the Clipboards in many ways! **Use a command key to switch and/or view all applications! **Pop-up palette function and more! One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do copy and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the Mac's system software that have changed and progressed over the years, copying and pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found yourself going back and forth copying in one application and pasting in a different application, wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to another application and paste each of these items. Now you can with a vengeance! NEW FEATURES VERY IMPORTANT: Whenever you upgrade to a newer version of CopyPaste, you should remember to remove any older versions from the Extensions Folder of your System. Then install the new version and restart. In Version 4.3 *bug fixes: - On Japanese systems the inline input method uses the Scrap Manager - very strange. This caused problems with the Clip Recorder. *Many programs do NOT use the DeskScrap (=the public clipboard) for their own copy and paste action, so CopyPaste sends these programs to the background and back to the front in order to get the desired clip. You could see this in previous versions when the program hides toolbars and othe window elements. This version now patches the involved routines so that the toolbars stay on the screen, which accelerates CopyPaste`s performance.

Either Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 4 or MPW-GW (Feb. 1999) can be used to build it. Instructions for building this port can be found in the README file. This port still lacks some major features of Emacs (e.g., dump-emacs, subprocesses, and networking capabilities) and should be viewed as a work in progress. It is released under the GNU Public License. This port has been built on a Power Macintosh 8500 with 48M of RAM. You should be able to build it if you have a better machine. In additional to this file, you will need the standard source distribution of GNU Emacs 20.3. The Emacs source distribution, the Mac files, and files generated by compilation take up a little less than 100M disk space. Allow for a few additional tens of megabytes of temporary disk space during a build. A web page for this port can be accessed at http://www.cs.hku.hk/~choi/emacs/index.html or http://home.netvigator.com/~akochoi/emacs/index.html Up-to-date source code and patches as well as information about the port will be posted there.

It is also a database including information about your system environment. You see not only some technical infos but also understandable interpretation of most codes (in English). There are too many new features in GestLab to be listed here (a mini doc is included). You have to know that GestLab user interface needs at least Appearance Manager 1.0.1 (version found in Mac OS 8.1 and next). You can install the Appearance extensions in Mac OS 7.1 and next (these extensions are available at www.apple.com). Without Appearance Manager, you will only allowed to save your configuration, not to examine it. So, if your machine has at least Mac OS 8.1, use GestLab. With older systems, continue to use Gestalt.Appl. GestLab main goal is to maintain the more exhaustive Gestalt selector database. When using it, if your configuration is displaying info not yet in the database (what it is very easy to realize, this info is displayed in red), don't hesitate to send it to me: I'll analyse it and update the database for the next release. Your collaboration is essential in this domain. As Rene G. A. Ros said in his Gestalt Selectors List, GestLab is the new 'official' Gestalt hunters tool!

TitleTrack CD Player includes all the standard audio control features (play, pause, stop, fast forward, rewind, eject, etc.), plus you can create custom play orders for each CD; drag and drop CD Cover art into the display; enter detailed information (including guest artists, engineer, producer, label, user rating, year and more) for each CD; automatically link to Web pages relevant to the particular CD; and much, much more!
