It can download and erase pictures from Agfa, Olympus, Epson and Sanyo digital cameras and it is often up to 70% faster than bundled software - sometimes even faster. File creation dates can be set to the time when the picture was really taken. Downloads operate smoothly as background tasks, taking a minimum amount of processor cycles. Other work can progress normally while a download is active. Each picture can be viewed and edited as soon as it has arrived. These features combined with the fast downloads offer significant time savings to digital camera users. Cameraid is useful even if you don't have a digital camera or prefer not use the serial port for downloads. Pictures can be rated using a simple "thumbs up", "thumbs down" grading system. Selected files can be dragged to other applications or simply moved or copied to a new location. Best of all, files are easily renamed within Cameraid, so there's no need to pop back into the Finder to rename a document. Cameraid is shareware US$15 (payments through Kagi). The unregistered version is fully functional, but shows a registration notice for 10 seconds at startup. Cameraid requires System 7 or later, and is compatible with the latest system software, including System 8.1. Testing indicates that it works on G3-series PowerMacs.

Concordance is freeware. =A9 1995-1998 by Giovanni Giusti . Concordance picks a TEXT file, reads it, then displays some information about the original file, such as size, number of words, number of different words, etc. It also creates an index containing a list (the "concordance") of all the words, together with how many times each word appeared in the original. Thus it is useful for statistical purposes ("How many times did I mention "barracuda" in my article?"). This list can be sorted prior to saving. Starting from version 2, you can also output a list (the "wordlist") of all the words with the "pages" they have appeared in - a sort of very basic indexing. The problem is obviously that plain-text files don't have any page breaks, so the "page" is calculated on a n-characters-per-page basis. This list, unfortunately, cannot be sorted, because it is created on the fly while saving it. But you can sort it through your favourite word processor, can't you? Changes since v. 2.1 Thanks to the feedback of a German friend, I lengthened the maximum word length from 25 to 35 (I hadn't mentioned this before, I thought there was no need). Also, I am implementing Drag&Drop - in the hope it'll work. -- Pompamagna home page: [Archived as /info-mac/text/concordance-211.hqx; 101K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 18:04:34 -0700 From: Andreas.Prilop@altavista.net Subject: [*] Convert Central European RTF files Mac <-> Windows This package contains mapping ("translation") tables for both Add/Strip (info-mac/text/add-strip-322.hqx) and PowerReplace (info-mac/text/power-replace-63.hqx).

When I first started using System 7 and saw how you could customize icons by pasting them in the Finders Get Info windows, I immediately said, Hey, what we need is an icon editor! And the idea of Icon Machine was born, and has been evolving ever since. Other people have made icon editors too, and I have tried out as many as I could get my hands on (because if I found one I liked enough it would save me a lot of trouble!) but I was never quite satisfied. If you want a thing done right.... Icon Machine is an icon editor- it lets you customize the icons of items in the Finder. To edit the icon of an item, just drag it onto the Icon Machine icon in the Finder, and Icon Machine will open a window in which you can edit the icon. When you're done, use the Save command to apply your new icon. Icon Machine has been designed to take advantage of other great features of the Mac OS to give you the power to make the icons you want. Here are a few things people have said about Icon Machine: "The Photoshop of icon editors!" - Andrew Miller "My initial reaction: This is cool!" - Craig Hockenberry, author of Icon Dropper "I think Icon Machine is tremendous." - Brian Kelley, Apple Wizards Changes in version 1.3: - Added keyboard shortcuts for tools. - Added the Show Gridlines command. - Fixed a potential crashing bug when saving while the Finder is not running, such as with At Ease. - Only allows one about box open at a time. - Fixed a contextual menu bug introduced in 1.2.1 - control-clicking in a window's drag area would drag the window instead of displaying a menu. - Fixed a bug which made the System Colors palette not tear off. - Fixed a bug in the System Colors palette which would hilite two "blank" colors if you put the mouse in just the right place. - Fixed another bug in the System Colors palette where using the dropper tool to select certain colors would cause the wrong color to be hilited, even though the right color was chosen.

All rights reserved. Synth MooVier is a freeware application capable of producing 3-D QuickTime animation. Its notable features are: - integrated 3-D modeler; - high-quality rendering (Phong shading); - complete control over material properties (color, transparency); - multiple, colored light sources (point, directional or spot); - export of 3-D models in VRML format (1.0 compliant); - control of movie quality (fps) and frame dimensions; - small RAM and disk footprint. In order to produce an animation, you have to model the actors in the scene (by assembling solid primitives) and to define their behaviors over time, which means you can, in specified temporal interval, modify all their attributes, as position, dimensions, colors, rendering type; the light sources can be smoothly turned on or off; and the special actors (like the view camera) can be managed in the same way. Hardware/Software requirements Macintosh model with 68020 processor or better (FPU not required); 8-bit/256 colors video card (16-bit/thousands recommended); 768 kb of free RAM (1Mb recommended); MacOS 7.x or better; QuickTime 1.5 or better.

Per produrre una animazione, dovete modellare gli attori della scena assemblando le primitive solide disponibili, quindi potete definire il loro comportamento al trascorrere del tempo; potete modificare in un intervallo temporale prescelto ogni attributo, come la posizione, le dimensioni, il colore ed il tipo di rendering di un oggetto; le luci possono venire spente o accese gradualmente; e gli attori speciali (come la camera da presa) vengono manipolati allo stesso modo.

With most other players, you only get video in a tiny area of your screen, or in an area surrounded by a huge border of some sort. VCD Player smoothes the video playback process and allows you to watch full-screen movies in the MPEG format, without any headache-inducing distortion to make the movie unwatchable. There are various configurable options that control sound and playback, and just as with a sound-only CD player, you can control which track to start watching. VCD Player can remember where you stopped playing the movie after you quit the program, restarted your Mac, or even changed to another disc then changed back. System Requirements - Power PC - QuickTime 2.5 or later - QuickTime MPEG Extension 1.0 or later What's new What's new in 1.4.6? - VCD Player now supports multiple monitors.
