Subject: [*]     better-edit-keys-11.hqx

Better edit keys 1.1 - is a cool system enhancement that allows you to use the
shift, option and control keys with the arrows, delete, forward delete and clear
keys in any standard text editing field, including basic text editors such as
SimpleText. This makes it much easier to work with text without reaching the
mouse.

mystic burst of soothing, deep-bass rhythm.  The "Infinity" StartUp
Sound is an 11-second intro with mellow synths that rezonate softly
behind a hard-hitting, sensuous beat, sounding superb on any system,
particularly ones with external speakers supporting a low-frequency
response.

The "Infinity" Startup Sound is available in both stereo and mono
versions and can be downloaded here or at the Clixsounds WWW site at:

Subject: [*] Coffee Timer 1.1 FAT

Coffee Timer 1.1 FAT - is a very simple countdown timer I built after frying my
third coffee pot. Like many other programmers, I often drink coffe while working
- I mean Italian expresso coffee, the kind you make with a "moka" coffee pot.
However, I don't usually wait for the coffee to be ready before going back to
work, which often results in the coffee pot being forgotten on the fire for
hours. This is a programmer's solution to the problem: a simple countdown timer
with a loud alarm and a couple of other useful options.

Subject: [*] IntelliAlias 1.1.1J - Japanese Version

This is the Japanese version of the Intellialias package.  This package
is localized to Japanese as a free service of Bridge 1 Software.

IntelliAlias is a simple solution to a simple, yet annoying problem with
aliases on the mac.  When you create an alias to an application, you
can't set the size preferences of the alias.  This means that to have
various size setups for a certain program, you need several copies of
the program. This is obviously not ideal.  IntelliAlias solves this
problem.  The IntelliAlias program is only 7k in size, so it is around
the same size on your hard disk as any other alias.

Name Finder is a simple database engine that lets you build and browse lists of

PowerPCheck 3.2 FAT - PowerPCheck is a cool drag & drop utility that looks for
native PowerPC code inside applications, control panels, extensions and all
other
executable files. It can check individual files as well as folders or entire
disks; it inspects both the data fork and the resource fork of each file and
creates a detailed text report of all the native code it finds.

Subject: [*] SimpleText Color Menu 2.3J (Japanese version)

SimpleText Color Menu 2.3J is the Japanese version of Alessandro Levi
Montalcini's original.  This is freeware as you know.

* SimpleText Color Menu is a free drag & drop utility that installs an
extra cool Color menu and an extra useful Goodies menu inside Apple's
SimpleText text editor (versions 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3.1 and 1.3.3
only).

* You get color, a Find/Replace command, a Windows submenu, document
statistics, printing margins and default font/size/style/color settings
for unstyled documents.

New in 2.3: - Added a new option to open all read-only files ('ttro') as
either stationery or standard text files. This allows you to search and
copy text when reading read-only files, or to modify them without
changing their file type first.

All praise should go to Alex, and all complaint should be sent to me.
:-)

Subject: [*] Sloop (68K) 1.0J - Japanese Version

This is the Japanese version of the Sloop package for 68K machines.

A REVOLUTION IN MACOS WINDOW NAVIGATION Sloop brings cursor focusing to
the MacOS. Cursor focusing, a powerful strategy for window and
application management, allows users to sail through windows and
applications without ever clicking the mouse. Instead, when one moves
the cursor over a window or application, that window or application
automatically comes to the front. While cursor focusing has been
available on other windowing operating systems, such as the X Window
System, it has never before been available for the MacOS.

DESIGNED TO INCREASE DAILY PRODUCTIVITY By eliminating a productivity
bottleneck -- the incessent clicking on windows previously required for
MacOS usage -- Sloop can speed up general computer use. In addition, by
eliminating many useless mouse clicks, Sloop may reduce some of the
repetitive strain on people's mouse-clicking fingers.

BUILT-IN FLEXIBILITY ENHANCES THE SLOOP EXPERIENCE Sloop allows users to
customize their own cursor focusing strategies. Applications can be
excluded from some or all of Sloop's functionality. Special exceptions
to cursor focusing can also be made such as: not focusing out of window
"islands" that would be obscured by a switch and not focusing when the
mouse is within a fringe surrounding the frontmost window. The speed
with which Sloop tracks mouse movements is user configurable. The Sloop
1.0 package also includes an FKey that allows cursor focusing to be
toggled on and off on the fly.

A SMALL AND STABLE SOLUTION Sloop is a "polite" extension to the MacOS.
By running as a background-only application, Sloop only tracks the mouse
when it is given processor time by the MacOS. Therefore, it won't slow
down processor-intensive tasks or attempt to focus windows when it's not
appropriate to do so. This leads to enhanced stability and reduced
overall demand on the processor. In addition, Sloop has a small memory
footprint and the extension itself uses less than 50K of hard disk
space.

<http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/daix/index.html>

Software & Hardware Tracker (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 SHT can also be used as a powerful FMPro based
Internet bookmark manager.

Software & Hardware Tracker is shareware and costs $10 (though you can
also use it as freeware: see the enclosed documentation for conditions
and limitations). Registrations are handled by Kagi Shareware.
