NetworkRun works with a real preferences file. It has a two-level security with a password and/or an enabler application that can prevent NetworkRun's use. A read me informs you about the exact use of each function. A Setup application checks if your Mac is OK to use NetworkRun.

Those icons represent extensions and control panels installed in your system folder. Did you ever wonder what they are or even if they are needed or useful? Extension Overload lists 1236 extensions and control panels (alphabetically), and tells you what each one is there for, what it does and when it is needed - and also when it is not needed. This means you can streamline your system folder and make it lean, mean and fast. You keep the ones that are useful and discard the ones that simply take up space. It makes sense to create a machine that isn't "overweight". Such a machine is more secure, crashes less often and runs a heck of a lot faster. This release of Extension Overload has information on 1236 Extensions and Control Panels from System 7, 7.5, 7.6, Mac OS 8, 8.1, 8.5, 8.5.1 and the iMac. This means you can streamline your system folder and make it lean, mean and fast. You keep the ones that are useful and discard the ones that simply take up space. It makes sense to create a machine that isn't "overweight". Such a machine is more secure, crashes less often and runs a heck of a lot faster. Extension Overload is ready to assist you if: * you have recurring crashes. * you have an extension conflict. * you want to make your system use as little RAM as possible. * you want to save disk space by deleting unnecessary files. * you want to know what all the items in your System Folder do. * you are an experienced user who needs a handy reference. * you are a novice user who wants to learn his way around the machine. And there is more to Extension Overload ! ! ! * It contains information about Mac Error Codes. * It also contains information about Easter Eggs (those special gimmicks hidden within your software). Most of these are humorous and fun. * Dozens and dozens of ways to make your Mac go faster, optimizing both hardware and software.

Although these pages may be used successfully for initial instruction in subtraction, they were designed as a review for students who had tried and failed with a traditional approach. MD2:FCSfSpL is unique in that it is published only as a series of computer documents, and in that it supplies comprehensive fact support. This feature allows students who have not, or can not, master their facts to continue learning the process of subtraction. MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled SUBTRACTION for Special Learners , version 1.4.1, is shareware. You may download the Adobe Acrobat .pdf file to "test-drive" it. No extra applications are necessary, other than the free Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0. Registration of the PDF version for Macintosh or Windows is just $10. The fully editable ClarisWorks version, with many extras, is $25 (currently Mac only). The MATH DITTOS 2 series now includes three fact controlled books published only as computer documents. MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled MULTIPLICATION for Special Learners and MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled ADDITION & SUBTRACTION for Special Learners are also available in PDF format.

It can even print VHS labels and store QuickTime movies. You can enter, search and sort information about the movie title, cast, rating, your personal evaluation of the movie, it's genre, whether it's widescreen or pan & scan and more. If you taped it off of some source, you can enter data as to what that source was, whether there are commercials on the tape, the quality and speed of the recording and more. You loan your movies out sometimes? You don't have to wonder any more who has which movies - let MoviePhile take care of that for you. Keep a record of plot, reviews, trivia and notes about your favorite movies. There's even a place to store QuickTime movie trailers for your movies. Do you have to use all of these features for MoviePhile to be of use to you? No. If all you want is something to keep track of the movies in your collection and who they are on loan to, MoviePhile is great for that. All the other features are there when you need them. Enjoy.

SpriteWorld was designed with game programmers in mind, and has many features that are very useful for making games, such as smooth overlapping of sprites, custom blitters to speed up the animation, pixel-precise collision detection, the ability to create an unlimited number of sprites of any size, a fast scrolling engine, and much more. SpriteWorld comes with complete source code, so you can modify it if necessary to suit your needs. Here are just some of the improvements in SpriteWorld 2.2: - A dramatically improved circular scrolling engine. - Support for multiple tile layers, as well as a background picture behind your tiles! - Assertions were added to SpriteWorld. Now, if you forget to do something important (such as locking the SpriteWorld before starting the animation), you will (hopefully) get a polite dialog box reporting the problem instead of having your program crash. - New routines for playing asynchronous sounds. - New routines for quickly drawing and copying lines and framed rectangles in both scrolling and non-scrolling SpriteWorlds. - Many new functions, such as SWPauseSpriteLayer, SWDisposeAllSpritesInLayer, SWCountNumSpritesInLayer, and SWCloneSpriteFromTile. - Various bug fixes and speed improvements. - Plus a whole lot more! Requirements: System 7.0 or later, 68020 or later Mac, CodeWarrior C or Think/Symantec C programming environment. Be sure to download the SpriteWorld 2.2 Extra Demos package as well!

SwitchBack is a utility program that synchronises two folders, so that both folders have a copy of the most recent version of their files. The two folders can reside on the same volume, on two different volumes, or indeed on two different computers connected by a network. It has been designed principally for those people with two computers (especially desktop and PowerBook) who need to ensure that they have the most recent version of their documents available to them. It also functions well as a simple backup utility for people with one computer. For example, a folder residing on your main hard disk can be linked to a folder residing on a floppy disk. Listed here are some of the more commonly used features that SwitchBack offers: *Activity log *Alias resolving *Auto start option *Auto-mounting and unmounting of remote volumes *Balloon help *Background copying and notifications *Collision detection *Compatible with all Macintoshes and clones runningハSystem 7.1 and later *Copies up to 3 times faster than the Finder *Detection of network time discrepancies *Drag and Drop aware *Error notification and optional log *Power Macintosh and 68K native *Report window allowing you to see what SwitchBack plansハto do *Stationery aware *Use of System temporary memory *Uses Navigation Services if available *Works with DOS disks Changes in version 2.7.1J: *Fixed a bug that caused a "InterfaceLib---PBXGetVolInfoSync" warning to be displayed on startup.

SwitchRes incorporates features from the Monitor Resolution, Monitor BitDepth, and Video Mirroring Control Strip Modules bundled with your system. You can use its menu in the Menu Bar , use its provided Control Strip Module, or click on the Finder Desktop with its Contextual Menu Plugin. But that is not all... SwitchRes has an extensive list of features, including: *Quickly and easily configure SwitchRes with the help of the setup wizard! *The ability to show all available resolutions of your video card, not just those limited by your monitor. For example, 20 video modes are available on my PowerMac 7300 internal video board. Enjoy your Apple 15" monitor in 1024 x 768, or 640 x 480 in 120Hz ! *SwitchRes is totally configurable. You can define which resolutions are really accessible, and which will require a confirmation. *You can also create display sets which will allow you to change the resolution and the depth of all your monitors with just one mouse click, or just one key. *You can save the position of the icons on your desktop, independently from one resolution to the other, unlike the Finder. The position of the icons is restored at startup. *You can assign a specific set to an application, so that every time you use this application, your Mac will automatically switch to your predefined resolutions. You will find this extremely useful for most games. New in version 1.5.4 *Corrects a crashing bug when opening the Control Panel (Typeミ1 error) *Corrects a bug that could crash the Control Strip when showing a dialog box from the module *Speed and size of some parts of the code have been improved *Saving icons and immediately opening the control panel does work correctly now *Some problems with the Setup Wizard are now gone.
