SETI@home actually runs in two ways: The ÒapplicationÓ and the ÒscreensaverÓ. It can do its work in either of these modes: it downloads blocks of data from through the Internet, performs the number crunching on that data (looking for orderly patterns that might originate in outer space), returns the results, and gets another block of data. The application is represented by a green radio telescope icon in the Menu Bar (normally at the upper right of your screen). You can open the application window by selecting Launch from this icon. The screensaver program runs when you havenÕt used your keyboard or mouse for a while. It displays color pictures showing the data analysis process. Normally the application processes data only when the screensaver is running. Optionally, you can have the application process data at any time by launching the application.

Splash It 1.0 displays or plays a media splash screen (bitmap, pict resource, QuickTime movie, QuickTimeVR or System 7 sound), launches your application (it can be an alias), waits for it to load and then automatically quits. Splash It 1.0 can also be set up in order to wait for the user to click on your splash screen media before to initiating the launch process of your application. Splash It 1.0 main benefit is found when you have to launch a large application, like a multimedia game or presentation, which requires a long time to load. Instead of having a frozen screen, Splash It 1.0 will display or play your splash screen giving an immediate feedback to the user. Note: Splash It 1.0 automatically resizes itself to the size of the bitmap image you have chosen, however, QuickTime movies and QuickTimeVR need to be 320x240 pixel in size. For System 7 sound, no Splash screen is display. Splash It 1.0 can be set up to work in different ways. You can set Splash It 1.0 to immediately launch your application after the splash screen has been displayed or, set a fixed amount of time before starting the launch process. You can also set it to wait for the user to click on your splash screen media (mouse down event), set a background color and hide the menu bar if required.

Combinatorial functions e.g.: draws, permutations (and factorials even for large numbers!), variations, combinations. Probability density functions e.g.: hypergeometric (Lucky 10, Lotto), binomial (football toto), negative binomial, multinomial, Poisson, normal. Cumulative distribution functions e.g.: standard normal and inverse, binomial, negative binomial, negative exponential, Erlang, gamma, beta, chi square, F, T, Cauchy, Rayleigh, error function. Just for free I've thrown in an Erlang B/C traffic calculator. Can also be used for very large traffic units and number of trunks. Many functions are clearly explained, although this stack is not a course in statistics. Emphasis is on statistical usefulness and accuracy, even for big numbers, not on frills. New in version 2.2: * Distributions added (Tukey-lambda, logistic, cumulative hypergeometric, Von Mises). * Separate cards for some of the used special functions (gamma, beta, incomplete gamma & beta, modified Bessel functions). * More explanations for Erlang B&C. * Navigational index card.

Text Cleaner was created with the design professional in mind, and is now a valuable tool for Webmasters as well. Clients frequently supply design studios with text that in most instances contains incorrect typographical characters and other input errors, while Webmasters receive text from designers that contains characters that need to be changed to their simpler, HTML compatible counterparts. Traditionally, these items would have to be changed one at a time using a layout or word processing application. With Text Cleaner, conversions are done all at once and in as many iterations as needed. Text Cleaner will quickly Þnd typical entry errors and replace inappropriate characters with correct ones, bringing your text up to traditional typesetting or Web standards. Fi and ß ligatures, curly quotes, ellipses, em and en dashes are set or removed. Multiple instances of spaces, tabs and returns are eliminated in one fell swoop. Without Text Cleaner, repeated Þnd-and-replace searches would be required. For example, if there were four tabs together in a document, a search-and-replace would change the Þrst two to one, then the next two to one. The result would be another two tabs, but this wouldnÕt be found until scanning through the entire document then starting again from the beginning. Imagine how many searches would be required if there were a lot of tabs together! Text Cleaner does all the repetitive work for you. Text Cleaner removes other famous blunder combinations tooÑlike spaces around tabs, returns and dashes. Curly quotes can be set while retaining inch and foot measurement markings and correct apostrophes for years like Õ90 and 90Õs. Text from an email message that has returns after every line can be converted to ÒwrappedÓ text and greater-than symbols used for email quotations cleaned out instantly. These conversions are all performed in the best possible sequence to avoid creating the same or worse conditions.

TextureMagic offers plenty of effects and filters to create unique seamless textures. You can influence them by changing meaningful no-nonsense parameters to create truly amazing new textures. Unlike other texture creators TextureMagic is a bitmap editor like Adobe Photoshop (tm) -- so you apply filters and effects the way you already know. Create seamless textures from photographed surfaces. TextureMagic offers powerful tools to transform pictures into seamless textures. Do you want (for example) a brick wall texture that looks absolutely realistic? Just photograph a brick wall, load the picture into TextureMagic and in minutes you have a seamless realistic tileable texture. Edit textures in a bitmap editor that keeps the textures seamless. TextureMagic is a bitmap editor, so you have all the tools you would expect: Paintbrush, Rubber Stamp and all the other tools you already know. This gives you complete control. The magic is that -- unlike editing in Adobe Photoshopª -- TextureMagic always keeps your textures perfectly seamless.

Everybody kept asking my mother for her recipes, but, of course, they were scattered everywhere. My mother asked me if she could enter them into her computer, thus allowing her to have them at her disposal and not having to re-write them for everyone. Our first attempt was in Microsoft (r) Word. That lasted about a month. We bought MANY different layouts and programs. After entering lots of recipes and hassling with trying to convert her recipe measurements to decimals for the programs, we still could not find ONE program or layout that did everything that she desired.

Each player is given a certain amount of triangles which make up his or her hand. Each point on a triangle has a number on it. Match the numbers on one of your triangles up with numbers on the triangles already on the board to score points. A well chosen play may earn you additional bonus points for a 'special play.' You may need to rotate a triangle to one of six orientations in order to play it. The first player to play all of their triangles wins the round, and the player with the most points after all rounds have been played is the winner! A game of Trinity involves two to four players, human or computer. There are 3 experience levels for computer players: novice, average, and veteran. More experienced computer players will be able to sniff out special plays (described below) better than less experienced players, as well as managing their triangles wiser.

It was designed with the input and assistance of a school nurse to meet specific needs. It handles tracking of contact information, thirteen different types of immunizations, medical history, allergies, medications, injuries, hospitalizations, chronic health conditions, and recent illnesses. You can track testing of hearing, vision, physical exams, scoliosis screening, oral exams, and blood pressure throughout the educational history of the child. Users with access to a digital camera or scanner can easily add a photograph of the child to the record which can be an important aid in finding missing children, as well as putting a face on the data. Most important, it's easy to use. School Nurse was designed with a similar appearance to the paper folders and forms currently used in public schools.

This gives you a single list containing the URL and its name, but no additional information. You can comfortably store up to 20 URLs this way, though you probably will remember each of them after a while. Another way of storing URLs are hierarchical Bookmark Managers. For instance with the Favorites Menu of System 8.5 you can at least group some URLs together. More sophisticated tools offer more information for an URL like date of last visit, a comment or a rating. 200 - 300 URLs can be stored, before you lose track of them. The third type of Bookmark Manager is the linear list. Those do not necessarily contain more information than the hierarchical list, but sorting URLs by different fields is an added bonus. Around 500 URLs is the maximum for the linear list, before things start getting messy. And that is all? In the last few years we have seen the development from handcoding html to sophisticated WYSIWYG tools like Dreamweaver and GoLive. Bookmark Managers, however, have seen no development at all. I see the following two areas, in which a Bookmark Manager needs to be improved (meaning, what WEBformation offers): More information for a single URL Very important is the possibility to store more text than a simple sentence as a comment. Then there are: date, when URL was entered; has URL been visited yet; date of last visit; number of visits; when do you want to visit again; frequency of planned visits; was URL downloaded; levels of download; validation; date of validation and so on. Data management tools In a linear list you can sort the URLs, find text in one URL and at most you can find exact duplicates. WEBformation offers four methods of finding similar URLs (automatically marking them). Then there are: finding predefined URL sets like URLs to download; sophisticated searching capabilities including adding to a find or finding subsets; integrated URL downloading, URL validating and so on. System Requirements WEBformation is a Filemaker 4 template, not a standalone program. The font Trebuchet MS is installed with System 8.5 as part of Internet Explorer. WebPalette, a floating window for the browser, needs System 8.5. The Scripting Addition Sigma's Addition is necessary. To validate your URLs Big Brother is used and WebDevil or Anarchy for directly downloading URLs. Sigma's Addition and BigBrother are enclosed. I have included the full documentation of BigBrother. It is now public domain and no longer shareware, but the author has not changed the documenation.

According to Dantz's web site, using the Apple Enet extension (v. 2.1.2) from OS 8.6 in place of the "Ethernet (Built-In)" extension with OS 8.1 will fix network problems on non-G3 PCI PowerMacs. This is not an Apple-supported approach to the problem, but Dantz says that their extensive testing indicates that it both works and fixes the problem. My problem: how to get a copy of the Enet extension? Since I'm running 8.1, I can't use the 8.6 updater. There used to be a problem that would extract individual files from Apple's installer tomes ("Tome Buster" or something similar?), but I can't find it on the web any longer.
