I gave this program such a generic name so that it can fit nicely under your Apple menu along with the other desktop utilities provided with Mac OS. By default, Address Pad will also behave like a typical Apple menu application (i.e. opening a default document when launched).

This is a new release of BibleViewer incorporating a modern version of the Bible that is easier to read and understand. For additional information, visit http://www.kagi.com/HolyMac/ on the web. BibleViewer may be freely distributed, by any means, assuming it is complete and unchanged.

BlackWatch is a screen saver application that provides the ability to lock your screen with password protection. It's small, quick, simple, compatible, and free. BlackWatch runs on any Macintosh (or compatible) with Color QuickDraw. This includes pretty much everything except a Macintosh Plus or SE. The application is distributed as a "fat" binary, with native code for both 68K and PowerPC. It will run in 64K of RAM (128K is recommended). System 7.0 or later is required. Summary of changes since version 1.3: - Redesigned the Preferences dialog. - You can now increase the size of the clock, up to 4 times the "normal" size. - Fixed a long-standing bug where BlackWatch would go to sleep at the scheduled idle interval in spite of typing activity, if keystrokes were the only activity during the interval. - Fixed a bug which could cause a crash if you tried to force-quit BlackWatch by pressing option-command-escape. - Fixed a bug which prevented Gestalt 'SAVC' screen saver commands from working correctly. (For programmers, the "TestGestalt" tool is included to demonstrate programmatic control of BlackWatch and other screen savers which support this standard.) - Fixed a bug introduced in 1.3 which prevented BlackWatch from recognizing changes in screen resolution. - Fixed a bug where the Apple logo wasn't drawn properly if you removed Apple's Helvetica font, or replaced it with Adobe's version (which has different metrics.) -- Ken McLeod thecloud@apple.com [Archived as /info-mac/app/ss/blackwatch-14.hqx; 86K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 21:33:25 -0700 From: robert@torget.se Subject: [*] Codebook 3.3.1 available!! Codebook version 3.3.1 is now available from our website, http://www.codebook.pp.se The major updates from 3.3: The lists are now alphabetical (in 3.3 the newest additions were at the bottom of the lists), and we've also created both downloadable archives with Stuffit Expander 4.5 instead of 5.0, to avoid problems for the end user.

You can set a specified amount of authorized space on a per-account basis; FolderWatcher will alert you only if that amount has been surpassed. A dated text file with a list of "oversized" folders is created. FolderWatcher will perform its task automatically upon startup and then quit (the "autocheck" feature). IMPORTANT: If you want FolderWatcher to run without doing anything (for data entry, etc.) hold the option key down as the program starts up. You must do this the first time the program is run, otherwise it will have nothing to check, and will quit immediately. On-line help is available from within the program. Persons who might find this program useful are those who maintain computers in schools, web servers, etc. FolderWatcher is free. Minimum Requirements: System 7 or newer 68030 or 601 processor 4 MB RAM (for most models) For further information, contact the author at: kurtkaufman@hotmail.com [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/folder-watcher-12.hqx; 572K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 21:17:33 -0700 From: kloska@mpimp-golm.mpg.de Subject: [*] FreePPP Control FreePPP Control is a scripting addition which gives Applescript access to the main functions of the FreePPP 2.6 system extension (open/close/set/get).

Studies have shown that enhanced radio propagation occurs between two points which are both on the day/night terminator. Now with version 2.1.1, the locations of active NCDXF/IARU beacons can be displayed in real time, along with the beacon callsign, country, and location. This should be helpful for identifying DX openings. Mac Grayliner requires a Mac with a color display.

PandoCalendar is a freeware Macintosh application that places a small customizable calendar on your desktop. The calendar may be customized by changing the frame, background color, text color, font, and font size. You can also attach notes to specific days for past or future events, and have PandoCalendar automatically plot the days you work. Great for people who don't have a Monday-Friday work schedule! Version 4.0.3 - Fixed a bug that would cause PandoCalendar to crash when "Hide calendar in the bkgd" was checked. Fixed a bug that would cause PandoCalendar to crash if you changed the displayed month using the arrow keys, while a note balloon was displayed. Fixed a bug where sometimes not all of the text of a note would be displayed in the note balloon.

If you double-click on them, your browser will be launched with the correct URL. URLRelayer is a simple application that will map these new files on older versions of the MacOS. People who don't have MacOS 8.5 will be able to use this feature too. It's very short, it's freeware, but I think it's useful for everybody who cannot or does not want to use 8.5 This program will need that you have InternetConfig installed and configured. Of course, it will also work under MacOS 8.5, but then it's completely useless...
