Briscola 1.2 is a card game for Macintosh and PowerMacintosh. This game is well known in Italy as briscola, but is known as atout for French people and as trump for English ones. The briscola is the suit of the card which lies below the pack. Sometimes somebody considers briscola that card. Any card whose suit is briscola, should be kept jealously to get as more as opponent's points.The aim is to get more than 60 points, half of 120 available points. You have to face your opponent 20 times. Briscola 1.2 requirements - System 7.0. - RAM: 1500 KB available for Briscola. - Color QuickDraw. - any processor, 680x0 or PowerPC. What's new in 1.2 ? - bug removed while opening the preferences file. - PICT resources reduced to 16 bit. - some code added to support Roman languages. - added Italian menus, dialogs, texts. - better poker pictures for aces, jacks, queens and kings. I changed these symbols to PICTs, because in Briscola 1.0 and 1.1 I used bitmap system fonts and they were badly rendered if you have Espi Sans as system font, as Aaron or Kaleidoscope set at startup. - even with Trevisan cards the winning ones are inverted now. - background and font even changed at the end of the game. - the pack on the table is "deep", so that you can guess how many cards remain in it. - sounds are now asynchronous. - some minor bugs removed. Briscola 1.2 is a shareware game. Its shareware fee is 5 US$ and the registration is handled by Kagi.

One sheet holds a user-defined function, written in Visual Basic for Applications, which constitutes my attempt to simulate the U.S. federal income Tax Table included with the instructions to Form 1040. The second sheet is a sample use of the function. The function can be invoked in a worksheet cell by typing: "=fedtax('FilingStatus','Income')" (neither single nor double quotes should be typed). FilingStatus is an integer between 1 and 4 (1 = Single, 2 = Married filing jointly, 3 = Married filing separately, and 4 = Head of household) and Income is the numerical income (e.g., 1040 line 37) on which the tax is to be calculated. For incomes up to $100,000, the tables are emulated. For higher incomes, the equations shown on page 53 of the 1040 instructions are used. System requirements: Excel 5 with Visual Basic installation option. Freeware. May be included on Info-Mac CD-ROM.

Pokras Hyper-Stack Player Pro ("HSP Pro") is a player for HyperCard stacks which provides the functionality of all versions of Apple's HyperCard Player up to and including the lastest version, 2.3.5. So if your Mac did not come with HyperCard Player 2.2 or 2.3, you can use HSP Pro instead. Available separately for 680x0 Macs (68k version) and for Power Macs (PPC version). HSP Pro is an upgrade of my previously released Hyper-Stack Player 2.3. ***A special new feature is HSP Pro's built-in ability to view and edit scripts and the contents of locked and/or hidden fields.*** HSP Pro goes further than just allowing you to merely use HyperCard stacks: - create buttons which you can link to your favorite stacks (size, color and style are customizable. You can even add a monochrome icon of your choice); - use the "Print Stack..." and "Print Field..." menu commands of the "File" menu (these are ordinarily disabled in Apple's Player); - view and edit the contents of fields (even locked and hidden ones); - view and edit the scripts which make HyperCard stacks work; - add buttons to other stacks to give them added features; - other new features over previous versions are described in an "HSP Pro New Features" file which is included. Some features require a registration code for activation. HSP Pro provides a good way for school computer labs to provide access to their HyperCard stacks. A password protection scheme prevents the students >From making any unauthorized changes. Shareware $10/Mac; Site licenses $50/site (e.g., school computer labs or a single corporate location). Free upgrade for registrants of previous versions (or anyone who registers a previous version by February 28, 1997. See the included "HSP Upgrading & Special Offer" file). HSP Pro can be registered world-wide by credit card using either E-mail (with automatically encrypted credit card info), fax or snail-mail through the Kagi Shareware service. Kagi also accepts checks (payable in U.S. dollars) and cash (a number of non-U.S. currencies are supported).

Have you ever tried to find that nice article that you barely remember and which would be quite useful right now, but you don't know how to dig it out of the collection? The yearly index (published since 1983) does not help very much, because the titles of the articles are quite imaginative but rarely contain the keywords that let you find out what you need. For instance, how could you tell that the article "Oldest Known Shipwreck" deals with an archaeological find in Turkey? (You can find it in the December '87 issue at page 693) I have copied (with scanner and OCR SW) all the yearly indices since 1983 and have added a handful of keywords (not already in the title itself), so that the resulting list may be searched with a text editor (e.g. with the Find and Find All utilities in BBEDIT). The structure of the list is quite obvious, and the records contain the title, the page number and the keywords. My choice of keywords is quite personal, it may be wrong and is certainly incomplete.

Smart Scroll also adds Active Scrolling, which updates the display as you drag the scrollbar tab.

Boot from a floppy or external hard disk, and either erase the hard disk or disable At Ease. I believe there's an "At Ease Extension" or something like that you can get rid of. chazl 1.30.97 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 01:36:42 -0600 From: Chaz Larson Subject: Upgrading internal CD-ROMS At 8:10 PM -0800 1/29/97, Jenny Tenlen wrote: >I have a >Performa 6116CD which I bought 1.5 years ago, with an internal 2x CD-ROM >drive.
