MacDoc is a powerful tool for creating standard or stand-alone documents
(also called: self-reading, portable or autonomous documents) from
existing documents and with almost any application. A stand-alone
MacDocument can be read and printed without the original application
created from. Therefore, MacDoc is ideal for creating and distributing
any kind of electronic documentation, for archiving, for making a snapshot
from a web page or just for creating a print preview.
Features MacDoc Writer:
- creating a MacDocument is as easy as printing
- MacDocuments can be created from your favoured application
- a MacDocument can be created from your existing files
- a MacDocument look like the original
- stand-alone MacDocuments can be read and printed without any other
software
- optionally incl. files e.g. fonts or the original document for archiving
- optionally protect your MacDocument by a password (index, copy, incl.
files)
- creates MacDocument up to 600 dots per inch
Features MacDoc Viewer:
- fast and easy to use
- copy and drag & drop of text with styles or pictures
- creating a hierarchical index with styles is very easy
- printable index
- information about the fonts used in the document
- bookmarks let you mark places in a document with your own labels
- Find text functionality
The Standard MacDocument
A standard MacDocument look like your original document, but has
some addional benefits:
- it can be read and printed with the (license free) MacDoc Viewer.
- The original application is not required.
- a MacDocument contains optional features like an index, bookmarks
and more.
The Stand Alone MacDocument
The difference between a standard MacDocument and a stand-alone,
self-running MacDocument is the embedded MacDoc Viewer. It's an
"All In One" package, no other software is necessary to view and
print your document.

[*] Beatnik Plug-in update--version 1.1.7
|
The Beatnik Plug-in is a driver which manages the playback of RMF and
other audio files within Web browsers. The greatest strengths of the
Beatnik Plug-in are its high fidelity and its potential for
interactivity. The sound quality is comparable to high-end PC wavetable
sound cards even though the processing is entirely
software-based. The potential for interactivity results from Beatnik's
support of a comprehensive set of JavaScript functions, which allow for
a richer and more personalized musical experience than other multimedia
delivery solutions. Beatnik allows a Web page to play music not only on
opening, but also on an event such as a "mouse click" or "mouse over."
These events can also trigger individual notes, sampled voices, or sound
effects; start or stop music; and change tempo, volume, pitch, or mix.
This is revolutionary in that it allows and even encourages direct
musical interactions with Web pages, instead of the current use of the
Internet as a playback-only system.
Special requirements: none.
Freeware. Uploaded by the author.
thank you,

This is the Japanese version of the DockMaster package.
New for this version - popup menus for the folder contents of all files and
folders icons. By just holding the mouse down for a while a popup of the

Also you can make user definable actions, such as launch files just with a
key press. You will need to pay the low shareware fee to make the actions

above other applications, hot keys to hide the windows or to switch to
another app. This is the fast launcher, with many more options than others
added on. Just drag any application, file, folder ..... anything at all
really and it will add it to the launcher module, just click and away you
go. Drag any files on to an application icon and it will launch it.

you can drag files so that application will open them. Or click to put that
application in front. Or you quit the application without brining it to the

functions for file manipulation and doing batch file changing.

Dot-loa 2.0 brings powerful new features and enhanced usability to the
Macintosh version of America Online's software.
To very briefly describe its highlight features, with Dot-loa you can:
* Log on to AOL while AOL is running in the background
* Run an "Automatic AOL" session with AOL in the background
* (New to 2.0) Have AOL continue to redial indefinitely until it connects
* (New to 2.0) Precisely schedule Auto-AOL sessions with a variety of options
* (New to 2.0) Run scheduled Auto-AOL sessions with AOL in the background
* (New to 2.0) Have Dot-loa notify you when new e-mail has been retrieved
from AOL
None of these things are possible with the AOL software itself. Normally,
while the AOL software is going through the process of dialing your modem,
connecting and signing you on, you are "stuck" in AOL. You can't switch to
another application until AOL has completed the connection process. (And this
is often a painfully long time.) Likewise, when AOL runs a scheduled Auto-AOL
session, it begins by "forcing" its way to the front. If you're trying to use
your Mac for something else at that moment, too bad; you'll have to wait for
AOL to finish connecting before you can switch it to the background.
With Dot-loa you don't have to stare endlessly at AOL's useless "progress"
screen, waiting for AOL to connect so you can get on with your life. You can
"Do Other Things" -- working productively in some other application,
blissfully unconcerned about how long it's taking AOL to connect. When AOL
does connect, Dot-loa will notify you with a beep and a flashing icon in the
menu bar. If AOL isn't running when you activate Dot-loa, Dot-loa will launch
it for you.
The new scheduling and e-mail notification features of Dot-loa will be
particularly attractive to those who depend on AOL for their e-mail service.
Dot-loa brings to AOL some of the most useful features of dedicated e-mail
applications such as Eudora. You can set Dot-loa to run Auto-AOL sessions
that check your e-mail at precisely controlled times or intervals, and have
it notify you if new mail has arrived. AOL remains in the background, so you
don't even have to look at AOL, much less have it "take over" your Mac for
some indeterminate length of time, until it has successfully downloaded new
mail for you. Dot-loa can then notify you of the new mail with either a small
floating window, or a flashing icon in the menu bar.
Shareware, $13.00.

[*] Les =?iso-8859-1?Q?Héros?= de la Tour Noire - a game scenario for
|
The attached file contains "Les Héros de la Tour Noire", a French
language scenario for Sword Dream 3D. This is the scenario we suggest
that players try first. Version 1.0.1, French. Contains release notes.
Requires Dream v2.1 or greater.
Sword Dream 3D is a fantasy adventure gaming system. Old role playing games
had you play over a boring 2D map. In Sword Dream 3D, your surroundings are
in three-D (just like in Marathon, Doom or Descent). Still, this
isn't a
shoot-em-up videogame: it's a think-first, act-later game.
Sword Dream 3D is a full adventure gaming system, and is endless and
modular by design. Dream allows players to download new adventures and
continue their adventuring inside the new mileu.
Full details on Sword Dream 3D (along with the application itself - in
English, French or Italian) are available at http://www.comenius.com/dream/
English and Italian versions of this scenario, along with all other
available scenarios can be downloaded from
http://www.comenius.com/dream/scenarios.html
The game scenario can be freely redistributed on the Internet, inside
CD-ROMs and via BBSs.
