So I created the Dvorak Lefty layout. I popped the keys on my PowerBook 1400c and arranged them in a mirror image of the Dvorak layout, provided by Dvorak International (thanks, guys). I then used ResEdit to create the KCHR resource, remapping all the keys to the new layout (including the option & shift-option characters). I never learned to touch-type, but have managed to get around 40 wpm staring at the keyboard. I have been able to catch up to that with less finger strain with this layout. The What This is a horizontally flipped version of the ANSI Standard Dvorak layout. The Dvorak Lefty layout is a simply KCHR resource created with ResEdit. It is System 7 compatible and should create no problems or conflicts with any software. This layout is FREE. Copy, distribute, and post it as you please. I do ask that the layout, the KeyCaps screenshot, and this Read Me file be distributed together. Also, this layout may not be sold, except that a reasonable distribution fee may be requested when necessary. Share and enjoy.

What is THE BLOCK? ================== THE BLOCK is a powerful password protection system for Macintosh computers. Unlike other password protection systems, it will not accept real passwords. To log in to a computer protected by THE BLOCK you need to go through a two-step process. First you need to type a Password Key, which is a key combination similar to the Finder's Copy or Paste shortcuts [command+c] or [command+v]. The second step is to click with the mouse on the shutdown button on the on-screen dialog or, depending on the preferences you set, to press the "esc" key on your keyboard. A big part of THE BLOCK's security comes from the illusion that a real password is needed. If intruders are not aware of how THE BLOCK works, they will always choose the wrong approach. If they are aware, THE BLOCK will still be as protective as every other password system because there are many possible Password Keys and there is an option to disable the shift key at startup. A Password Key can consist of any of the four modifiers (command, alt, control or shift) and another key on your keyboard, including the cursor keys, the F-keys and the page navigation keys. THE BLOCK is US$10 shareware. It is available from Marc Mennigmann's web site and all major Macintosh shareware archives and ftp sites. Version 2.0 is a free upgrade to registered users of any earlier version. System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or clone with at least a 68020 CPU running MacOS System 7.1 or later. What is new in THE BLOCK 2.0? ============================= Password Keys can contain multiple modifiers (command, option, control and shift). F-keys, cursor keys or page navigation keys can also be used as part of the Password Key. The application used to set up the preferences, called "THE BLOCK Setup", has been completely rewritten to be compatible with all Macs running System 7.1. The entire user interface has been redesigned to make THE BLOCK's [Archived as /info-mac/app/the-block-20-jp.hqx; 1102K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Jul 1998 08:02:44 -0700 From: jiwanski@alpha.luc.ac.be Subject: [*] Verbs & Nouns 2.0.3 - foreign language learning Here is the new version of the 'Verbs & Nouns' application - 2.0.3 'Verbs & Nouns' is an application for practising inflection, translation and pronunciation at the level of single words. Features include the opportunity to do inflection exercises, and translation exercises in both directions; to record and play sound for single words; and to do exercises based on sound or pictures. The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as bilingual dictionaries. Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages.

Thanks to the use of a number of advanced features of the Mac operating system, Web Confidential can be used in close conjunction with popular Mac Internet software, such as Netscape Navigator, Explorer and Eudora. While Web Confidential is suitable for a wide variety of personal data, from creditcard numbers to serial numbers, Alco Blom designed Web Confidential particularly for the World Wide Web in mind. "Increasing numbers of Web sites maintain some form of user registration," points out Blom. "You may not realize it, but in the course of time you may registered at a couple of dozen sites. Do you remember the passwords you entered for all of them?" Web Confidential allows Web surfers to store URLs, user IDs, and passwords in one secure location. Web Confidential can automate the process of logging into a password-secured Web page by automatically passing URL, user ID, and password to your Web browser. For opening pages containing personal account information at commercial sites, Web Confidential offers you the one-click convenience of its Password Shared Menu, saving you from having to retype your user ID and password each time you log in. To ensure the personal information stored in Web Confidential remains confidential, the program's password files can be encrypted using state-of-the-art encryption technology. Web Confidential is shareware. After a trial period of thirty days, users are encouraged to register the program for US$25.
