PR - ClockSync II 1.2.1 is available! Author's email address: jbkezer@kagi.com If you have two or more Macintoshes, you probably notice that the clocks drift apart as time goes by. This can range from being a minor nuisance to a problem, especially if you do a lot of synchronizing between the Macintoshes. ClockSync II synchronizes the clocks between two or more Macintoshes, by setting the clocks of the "Servant"Macintoshes to that of a "Master" Macintosh. ClockSync has two components. The ClockSync Master runs continuously on the "Master" Macintosh, while the ClockSync Servant can be run on any other Macintosh on the network to update its time. All of my utilities can be registered through the Kagi shareware system. Version 1.2.1 has the following enhancements: - Enhanced network error handling of Servant.

Version 2.2.2 will also be the last that supports 68k based Macs. Future features, developments and enhancements will be available for PowerPC based Macs only. KnowledgeMiner is computational intensive software already. Now that we are starting to add new even more demanding features it has become obvious that its time to move on and focus exclusively on the faster PowerPC processors. KnowledgeMiner is a powerful, easy-to-use modeling and prediction tool which was designed to support the knowledge extraction process from data in a highly automated way. It works using two advanced self-organizing modeling technologies: Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) and Analog Complexing. This is the first time that both of these algorithms have been available on any computer platform. Built on the cybernetic principles of self-organization, KnowledgeMiner brings high-end modeling capabilities to your desktop without the need for an expert. It can learn completely unknown relationships between the outputs and inputs of a given system in an evolutionary way from a very simple organization to an optimally complex one by itself. KnowledgeMiner has been used successfully for analysis and prediction in the fields of finance, economics, imaging, ecology, health, biotechnology, chemistry, math and many others. Professionals in many areas can benefit by downloading and trying out the examples then using this tool to mine their own field for new relationships. In comparison with statistical modeling tools and neural networks KnowledgeMiner stands out as easier, faster and more applicable to a wide range of real-world problems since it creates the model structure or network topology automatically without predefinition. This makes KnowledgeMiner the least expensive and most effective modeling and prediction tool available on any platform. Require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods!

It will also allow the creation and formatting of 7 x 7, 6 x 6, and 5 x 5 matrices (or, for that matter, of any dimension from 2 x 2 through 12 x 12). Unlike version v 2.7, which was designed for use with Microsoft Word 6.0.x for the Macintosh, versions 3.0 and 3.0.1 are stand-alone versions that require no additional word-processing software. Any number of matrices can be created without exiting and re initializing the application; this is particularly advantageous if the program is being used in a networked environment. Extensive documentation in HTML format can be viewed by utilizing any of the current Macintosh browsers. The file used to open the documentation is by default a Netscape HTML document, but in fact it can be used in conjunction with other browsers, such as Cyberdog, the authors' preferred browser, as long as the browser is properly configured (Internet Config is particularly useful for this purpose). "Matrix maker 3.0.1" will run on both 68K and PowerPC machines. Version 3.0.1 is a minor bug fix that corrects erroneous information that sometimes appears in one of the strings printed above the matrix. This application, written by John Melby and Charles Melby-Thompson, is shareware. It may be distributed on CD-ROM releases as long as it is included unchanged and in its entirety.

One of the most valuable minerals on earth. As an executive of the D.E.C (Diamond Excavation Corporation) it's your job to know everything there is to know about diamonds. With cost overruns reaching record highs the D.E.C is anxious to cut back its operating budget. You have been assigned to the diamond excavation division to oversee the mining of 60 new potential diamond sites. These sites are scattered around the world in some of the most inhospitable places known to man. From freezing arctic ice caverns to scorching desert terrain to dirt tunnels deep in the Amazon, it's your job to ensure these sites are fully mined of their diamonds. For each site you will be given a limited budget to construct drilling equipment, conveyer belts, power supplies and support scaffolding. Good Luck. Rock Solid requires a 68020 Macintosh or higher (LCIII or higher recommended), 2 Mb of free RAM, and a minimum 13 inch 256 colour monitor. System 7 is also required.

Attempting to opening the file with HexDump (a small utility that will show the resource and data forks of a file in hex form) has the file greyed out in the open dialog, although strangely enough SFPgetfile for HexDump is supposed to accept ALL file types.

Hello all! I have a hardware(?) question regarding a PM 6100/60. For the last couple of months I have been having to start up with [cmd-opt-shift-del] (occasionally having to turn the power on/off 2x times until this keyboard combo worked) & dealing with the incorrect time/date. Well- last week I put a CD into the drive to finally update my copy of WordPerfect and couldn't get the CD to mount. I turned off the computer and then tried to power back on, but the green power light only flickers. No HD sounds, no startup chime. The light even flickers a bit after the power button is moved to off.... New clock battery from RadioShack didn't help. Any thoughts as to my problem? Would the cost of repair make sense (250 meg HD, 2or 4x CD (stock)?)

(At least it was there the last time I looked.) > Under system versions earlier than 7.0 or under System 7.x > without 32-bit addressing turned on the Mac cannot access more than > eight megabytes of real memory.

Unfortunately there is no current means of accessing > this extra memory. I have an LC II with 12MB installed, and 10MB usable. But, contrary to the information in the FAQ, I can access and use all 10MB (not merely 8MB), regardless of whether 32-bit addressing is ON or OFF. The "invisible" 2MB do not appear as part of the System allocation in About This Macintosh (contrary to the conventional wisdom); rather, they do not appear at all. I do not understand how I can access more than 8MB with 32-bit addressing turned OFF. All I know is that I can, and it works. I verified it by loading up applications whose total memory added up to nearly 10MB. Any explanations?

I would like to install a Targa 2000 nubus card which works in Mac 8100's. Although the Power 100 and Mac 8100 are somewhat identical, there may be a trick to installing this card in the Power 100 as the motherboard has a chip (?) that's sticking up just enough to keep the card from mating with the expansion slot.

Malmberg" Subject: Power Macintosh Upgrade Card and Centris 650 I have a Centris 650 (25Mhz 68040, 48 Mb RAM) with a Power Macintosh Upgrade Card (50 MHz PPC601) in the PDS. When I install system S-7.1.2 (Swedish version) that came with the card, everything works fine. I can boot with either the 68040 or the PPC601. But when I install system S-7.5 (also Swedish verion) there is major problem. The installer recognize the Upgrade Card and installs the specific files in the system folder that is needed, and I can then boot the computer from the 68040. But if I choose to boot from the PPC601, I get the "Welcome to Power Macintosh"-message and 2 seconds later a message saying "Unimplemented trap - Try restart the computer without extension". Starting without extension doesn't help and the only way to get the computer going is to remove the Upgrade Card from the PDS. Anyone else had this problem? Is this a known bug and, if so, is there a software solution? Sure it must be possible to use the Power Macintosh Upgrade Card with system newer than 7.1, or...?
