This is the first release of And the winning ticket..., a raffle program
for the Macintosh. After entering the low and high ticket numbers it will
calculate the attendance and will randomly draw tickets.
This is ideal for use at a User Group meeting or software demo in which
prizes are raffled off. It is a fat app and takes up less than 50k, and
will run on any macintosh, though it looks better if you are running with
at least 256 colors.
And the winning ticket... is my first Macintosh program, which I wrote to
replace the aged hypercard based raffle program we were using at UCDMUG.
The source code is available on my page at the URL below, as will future
updates and new programs of mine.

[*] Attack of the Ma-Ma's! 1.0
|
The great new game "Attack of the Ma-Ma's" simulates an attack of oddly
shaped aliens! The Ma-Ma's are little creatures that look like the form
your fingers take when you make a little man out of your middle and
index finger. They come along the screen and you get to destroy them
with either a Machine Gun, Double Barrel Gun, Lightning Bolt, and an
atom bomb! The plot thickens as you play, and you find out they're there
because they want to take over the world!
This is the first version, but I found no bugs in here.
System Requirements
*System 7 or later
*256 Colors
*2.5 MB of RAM
*1.4 MB of disk space
Please visit my website at http://www.slayerx09.home.ml.org

BANQUET MASTER(TM) 2.0 Copr. 1994-95, 1997 Bruce A. Pokras
[Requires HyperCard Player 2.2 or higher, or Hyper-Stack Player (any version)]
BANQUET MASTER is a full-featured, general purpose guest list organizer for
your next party (large or small), banquet, wedding, bar/bat mitzvah, Sweet
Sixteen, retirement party, etc.
BANQUET MASTER helps you figure out who you are going to invite by allowing
you to start with people in catagories such as DEFINITE, PROBABLE, and
MAYBE. Until you register, you will be limited to 10 Invitation Cards
(which can be used for 10 individuals, 10 couples or 10 families, or any
mixture of individuals, couples and families).
The names and addresses of potential guests can be typed in, or can be
imported from a return-delimited text file. BANQUET MASTER displays the
number of people in each catagory, so that you can keep a count as you move
people from one catagory to another (children and adults can be counted
separately). The list of the names and addresses of your final "definite"
guests can be printed and used by the person who is addressing the
invitations. Alternatively, the name and address list can be saved to disk
for use with a computerized addressing system (e.g., computerized
caligraphy). For more business-related uses, you can print to standard
address labels.
BANQUET MASTER keeps track of how many invitations you will need, who has
responded to the invitation, and who is actually attending.
If you are having a large affair where people are assigned to specific
tables, BANQUET MASTER has a "seating function" with a drag-and-drop
interface which makes the task of assigning tables very easy. The seating
list can then be printed and used by the person who is preparing the
placecards.
Shareware $10. May be registered worldwide through the Kagi Shareware service.

[*] Default Folder 2.7.6 - OS 8 Compatible Open/Save Dialog Enhance
|
Default Folder is a shareware control panel that enhances Open and Save
dialog boxes to make it easier for you to manage files on your Macintosh.
It provides many of the essential features of the commercial SuperBoomerang
and Directory Assistance utilities, but without the infrequently used
extras that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage. And
it's fully compatible with Mac OS 8!
Default Folder's time-saving Open and Save dialog enhancements allow you to:
- Set up a default folder for any or all applications.
- Switch among recently used folders from a pop-up menu.
- See available disk space and switch between disks from a pop-up menu.
- Click on a Finder window to display it in an Open or Save dialog.
- Open the folder shown in an Open or Save dialog in the Finder.
- Create folders, get information (including changing name, type, and
creator), and move items to the Trash from within file dialogs.
- "Rebound" back to the last file you used.
- Make "Replace" the default option instead of "Cancel" when saving
a file with the same name as an existing file.
- Speed up the display of Open and Save dialogs by turning off custom
color icons in the file list.
Default Folder will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher,
and is accelerated for PowerPC. In addition to the standard internet
archives, information and updates are available at:
<http://www.stclairsw.com/>
Default Folder may be included on the UMich and Info-Mac CD-ROMs.
Version 2.7.6 incorporates the following changes:
- Fixed a bug in drawing of PICT resources that could cause file dialogs
to crash in some circumstances.
- Updated PICT resources to be more consistent with Mac OS 8 appearance.

[*] Fake-8 RE: salvation made easy
|
enclosed is a ResEdit version of my "Fake-8" icon set. Use of ResEdit
when applying the new icons should eliminate the need to "touch-up"
small icons. When using ResEdit (especially on system software) ,
always remember to work with a COPY of the software you are patching (in
this case, the System suitcase), just to be on the safe side. I created
this ResEdit version shortly after submitting the original "Fake-8", so
that means I've been using my system for FOUR weeks now with no signs of
any glitches. Three beta testers report identical results, but that
still doesn't mean that I will take responsibility for damage that MAY
occur. Just remember that what you are patching is a picture: nothing
more. So there is really no real excuse I can come up with as to why
you SHOULD experience problems after using "Fake-8." Still, you won't
find any promises in this Read-Me...
Oh yeah...
...this ResEdit version contains a bonus 3-D System suitcase icon. THE
ONLY ICONS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED AFTER APPLYING THE PATCHES ARE THE
FINDER AND SYSTEM ICONS. The "Internet" and "Mail" icons are still
applied by the time-tested "Get Info" method (see instructions below)
TO USE:
* open your System Folder * option-drag your System suitcase to the
desktop (this action makes a copy of the suitcase) * open the files
System (from the desktop, don't forget) and System resources (from the
"Fake-8" download) using Apple's ResEdit (available from this Info-Mac
site) * with the System resources window active, hit the key-combination
COMMAND A * use the key-combination COMMAND C (this copies the patches
that will be made to the System suitcase) * click on the System window
(to make it active) and use the key-combination COMMAND V (this
transfers the icon changes). You will be presented with a dialog box to
which you should answer "Yes". * close all of ResEdit's open windows.
You will se another prompt asking if you would like to save the changes
to System, to which you should answer "Yes" as well. * quit ResEdit. *
now comes the tricky part: getting your newly updated System folder
back into your System Folder. You'll need to startup from some startup
disk other than the one that contains the System folder you'll be
replacing. The "Disk Tools" disk, or it's equivalent (which is usually
supplied with your computer) works nicely here. * drag the updated
System suitcase back into the folder that you option-dragged it from way
back when this all started. You will be prompted as to whether or not
you wish to replace the "older" System suitcase. This, ultimately, is
your decision, but I think you should say "Yes." * restart, using the
disk with the "new" System suitcase on it as the startup disk (which
should be the same startup disk that you normally startup from (and
probably your main hard drive).

Raul's OS8 Toolkit 2.02 is a collection of Resedit hacks for OS 8.
Version 2.02 fixes several minor glitches and includes a few tweaks.
There are now no known problems. It also corrects an ommission of one of
the resources in 2.01.
It includes:
1. Patches to add several command keys to the Finder.
cmd-S - Sharing
cmd-B - Clear
cmd-[ - View as Icon
cmd-] - View as List
cmd-J - Preferences
cmd-K - View Options
cmd-U - Clean Up
cmd-T - Empty Trash
cmd-- Restart
cmd-* Shutdown
2. A patch for the Appearance Manager so that folders are grey instead of
purple tinged. This allows you to color folders with labels.
3. Patches for new System splash screens. Including a 1984 splash, a
Japanese splash, a Gothic splash, and a Riven splash.
4. Some art desktop patterns (Warhol, van Gogh, DaVinci...)
5. A patch for Emailer 2.0 so that mail folders are Coplandish.
6. A patch for non-dayglow icons in OT/PPP strip.
7. New icons for the BeOS chooser.
Note that patches can be applied individually.
System requirements:
* System 8
* Resedit
* Stuffit
* Emailer 2.0 if you use the emailer patch.
* BeOS if you use the Be patch.
Uses:
The primary reason to get these hacks is to make your Mac work better and
look better. The feature most commented on in 1.0 was the ability to
switch from icon views to list views with the keyboard.

can cope with enormous world sizes (over 4 million cells per 1Mb memory), and is
blindingly fast, e.g. 21 million cells per second on a 66MHz 601. The world is
automatically wrapped to provide infinite scrolling in all directions.
ProCreation Life's rules are editable, and there is a split-screen genetic mode.
The Artificial Life game was originally developed by James Conway and is the
basis of hundreds of implementations on every conceivable platform.
Version 1.2 is 30% faster than previous versions, and has other improvements.
ProCreation is distributed as a fat application, and requires System 7. It is
shareware, and may be included on any archive if the entire package is present.

The 'Protractor' is a tool to measure an angle.
It has a semi-transparent view just like a protractor in real world.
Using this tool with some graphics application, you can understand
and study mathematical facts on your computer.
It is not only for an entertainment, but also for an educational
purpose.
New version 2.0 has got many features to achieve both of them.

Sim Cinema Deluxe is a simulation of the filmmaking process. In the
game, you're a producer who owns a small production company. You decide
all aspects of the movie: name, genre, directors, cast, crew, and more.
You are given a budget from your distributor, and among other objectives,
you must use it for pre- and post-release advertising. If your film's
final
gross is high enough, you get a spot on the Top 10 list among the rest
of the season's blockbuster hits.
Updates from 1.0:
* Minor bug fixes.
* Improved interface.
* Fixed certain text problems. (running off some windows)
System Requirements:
PPC or 68k Macintosh
System 7.0.1 or later
Sound Manager 3.0 or later
2 MB of RAM
256 color monitor
For more info on this program please visit my homepage.

Software & Hardware Tracker II (September 4th, 1997)
by David-Artur Daix
<mailto:daix@kagi.com>
<http://persoweb.francenet.fr/~daix/index.html>
Software & Hardware Tracker II (Info-Mac directory and reference
"app/software-hardware-tracker.hqx") is a FileMaker Pro 3.0 relational
database which will help you collect, store and organize useful
information (such as registration codes, serial numbers, product notes,
useful adresses as well as phone/fax numbers and URLs for software
authors, companies and distributors, etc.) about all your computer
products (hardware, software and freeware/shareware). Even better, you
can launch URLs directly from inside the database, which will then call
upon the Internet Config system to open them with the proper helper
applications. That means Software & Hardware Tracker II can also be used
as a powerful FMPro based Internet bookmark manager.
Software & Hardware Tracker II is shareware and costs $15 (as always,
upgrades are free for registered users of version 1.x). Registrations are
handled by Kagi Shareware.
Thanks for supporting shareware!
(Software & Hardware Tracker II may be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.
It has been checked with SAM 4.5.1)
